I used to work at a large US tech company known for making a lot of acquisitions. One time I was assisting with one and was having drinks with the VP coordinating a lot of this growth and he explained he would never acquire a French company because of the labor laws. Now, he was a German, so take that with a grain of salt :) However, the key point here is the same story we see repeated all the time: simple things such as labor laws protecting employees can backfire in unexpected ways.

I am not claiming I have the answer or the French laws are wrong, just presenting a data point. Nevertheless, this is HN, so I expect people how dumb I am and how I have no idea what I am talking about. Fire away.
I don't think it tells you anything about what the commenter likes. When I created a TikTok account it showed me nothing that interested me. I marked videos as "not interesting" for half an hour before giving up.
Upvoted for solid parenting advice.

I pretty quickly realized that kids, even little ones, like 3 years old are far smarter than you think. They are basically little humans without much experience and that means not great judgement.

So as a parent it’s important to make sure they are exposed to things they understand and can process. Things that are age appropriate. If something isn’t appropriate, well, you try and explain why (as best as they can understand).
I wonder if this effect can be quantified. I do see this happening with niche programming languages

With scripting runtimes like ruby and python, it's already kind of "Debian mode", with a system-wide location for packages. With compiled languages that really prefer to statically link stuff written in that language (rust, go, etc) it's really not feasible.

In FreeBSD Ports we have a very pleasant solution for packaging rust apps. You just run `make cargo-crates` and paste the output into the makefile – boom, all cargo dependencies are now distfiles for the package.
This reminds me of the Hawthorne effect

We're talking about an open source project.

So if bigcorp wants OS X WireGuard support, they should be able to pay handsomely for it.

If they aren't willing to pay, then I believe the project should just avoid offering it, to avoid getting burnt out from unreasonable requests.
Not to worry. I would never rely on it. But what they are good for, is some basic usability, and "Apple user expect this" kind of things.
I've looked at 10 different tools like this, but this doesn't fall well enough into the definition i'm using of "standard tools," by which I mean something installable from apt/yum/ports on a wide variety of systems.

The closest I've found is using openssl's aes modes, but that requires the IV to be stored out-of-band somehow which is a do-able but a hassle I was hoping to avoid.
Could you please find an example of a tenant being legally kicked out by the landlord himself without even involving the law enforcement or a court of law ?
Yeah, I know. I've taken remote college classes. I'm familiar with the concept.

Have you actually homeschooled? A lot of homeschooling parents don't actively guide their kids through anything.

I used to have a page of education quotes, which included ideas like "The ability to learn is older and more common than the ability to teach" and "Education should be the lighting of a fire, not the filling of a pale."

I surveyed everything in the house -- books, games, TV shows, etc -- decided which should be counted as educational and which shouldn't and for what subjects and my kids mostly did various activities independently. I only actively worked with them when they had problems with something because they have learning disabilities.

I actually spent more time working with my kids on their homework when they were in public school plus taking them to school, attending parent-teacher conferences, etc than homeschooling took.

My oldest son tested at the senior in college level for at least one subject on a placement test at age 11. One of my rules was "If you are above grade level in the subject, you get to do whatever the heck interests you."

My kids are twice exceptional. This is probably the hardest educational profile to try to effectively educate.
Mine is full of fitness instructors showing of their fitness challenges,dancers showing of their synchronized dance routines, and oddball humour. I had a moment where some BLM stuff trended but on the whole it seemed to show both sides (albeit a bit the extreme versions of both sides).
I could point you to examples, but then you'll claim those are just members of BLM and don't represent the movement itself, which is decentralized. We've all seen the rhetoric and videos of the riots. Let's not waste each others' time.
We do use the host FPU for a subset of floating point operations now. However it only really works for clean 32/64 IEEE FP so anything that goes through the x87 still needs software emulation.
A bit of a tangent, but when it comes to consumable media I often hear the same lament: "X is great," (where X is a band, a TV show, a video game, etc.) "but it's got a toxic community."

I'm not sure how many of these things really have a toxic community per se. Instead I just wonder if you could more correctly say they have a "large community on the internet, which is usually caustic no matter the topic at hand."

TLDR don't ask devs/managers to do anything, they are just small company living of 50M donation and other donations

I mean FFS Signal didn't even allowed until 2018 or 2019 to select more than one picture to share and people asked about it for years. How long it took Mozilla to implement pull down to refresh on mobile version until 2020, 5+ years?

These devs WANT their product to fail, they don't want success, they don't want users, they just wanna get their weekly money and play and implement useless features nobody asked for. This is what happens with horrible management in Mozilla with Firefox going now extinct, Signal (pretty much same as Firefox not growing ant user base, even the uptick in recent days in molecule (drop would be overestimate) in Whatsapp ocean) and Wikipedia which is also spending money on projects completely unrelated to Wikipedia site, yet they dare every year ask users for donations to keep Wikipedia running without ads, while reality is they have money for years to run and if they didn't waste them on stupid things even longer.
Your analogy is extremely specious. A better analogy is an unheard of band playing an open mic night. The audience is doing the band a favor, by giving attention, possibly giving word of mouth reviews, not the other way around. The audience has every right to give feedback and help the band understand they don’t sound good. The band can ignore that feedback if they want, but they sure have no justification to look down on the audience for saying it, or saying, “play your own music if you don’t like it.”

Giving my attention to your FOSS project is compensation. In fact, FOSS is so over-saturated with options that giving my attention is high compensation. Project maintainers are lucky to have an audience of users and should value their feedback and create solutions for them, if they want the attention to continue or they want compensation to increase.

What doesn’t make sense is to treat users like they don’t matter, ignore critical bug fixes or feature requests to prioritize dabbling or recreational features, and disingenuously turn around and claim users are rude or should be shadow banned for stating justified frustration over this, all under the false pretense that just because the compensation is in the form of attention and engagement (similar to currying “likes” or “votes” on social media), and not currency, this somehow means there is zero social contract between maintainers and users.

If users are kind enough to express frustration in bug reports or feature requests, it means they are making an extra effort to hopefully not have to leave your project and stop using it. It’s an attempt at a constructive solution by letting the maintainer know there’s a social obligation problem happening. That seems way, way more positive and reasonable than a disgruntled maintainer immediately shrugging it off and going straight for the nuclear option of, “well if you don’t like it, leave.”
Any references for this? I have only heard of this happening when the page is clearly for donations (like this case) or almost exclusively composed of 'give us money' content.
You pay more to have something Free. Software people have yet to realise this reality of the hardware market.
Google chrome, linux, and Nvidia are the best bet on trifectas. Full screen video works, cool new webGL pages work well, games work well (steam has quite a few that work with proton), stable (can login for months), netflix, amazon prime, youtube, etc just works full screen or in a window.

Most of the glitchy stuff I've seen like you describe is either nvidia+nouveu driver, or AMD's GPUs.

Remote has created much wider opportunities for premium enrichment of kids curriculum, and what I can reasonably predict is further polarization of outcomes. Poor kids who work will still outperform most lazy rich kids, and with incredible resources to leverage (3blue1brown, betterexplained, etc come to mind), but the ones who fall below a threshold will form a permanent, itinerant underclass.

Like most things, there is too much in every discipline for any one person to know, so the people who prevail are the ones who have the tools to adapt quickly and leverage others. Oddly, this is not a function of work either, but of attitude to work, and identity.

The question is, educate kids to become, what, administrators and tourists? Even with public education, the skills among kids are Pareto distributed, and there is a great deal of controversy of what "good," means.

There is just as much questionable media on YouTube. The difference is TikTok's algorithm works a lot harder to show you more of the content it thinks you will spend more time viewing, even if you are not actively searching for it.

So if OP is seeing "loads" of sexualized content, it's because they spent enough time watching sexualized content before swiping for TikTok to think that's what they want to see, and ensure they see more of it.
Less so than with Slack.
a) If you're willing to accept using a SaaS for corporate communications, then Discord is no different than Slack. You run the risk that the vendor is recording what you do on the other end of that connection. For what it's worth, such a security stance also requires you to run your own email servers. The IT workload to run all of the above is extremely high, prohibitively so for startups and small companies. Even if, from a security perspective, it would be ideal to host it yourself - for most companies it's simply economically impractical.

b) Granted that you accept the risk of your vendor recording your communications, the odds of those communications being recorded are much, much lower for voice communications than they are for text communications, for the sheer cost of storing voice and video data. Running the audio through speech-to-text before discarding the audio may be a threat, but not for users whose office lingua franca is in a language not supported by contemporary speech-to-text tools, let alone automatically deciphering which language the users in a given voice channel are speaking without it being defined ahead of time.

In short, as long as you're not buying communication services from a competitor, you're probably fine.

> Listening to a professor speaking to himself from a distance of 10 meters is an awful experience compared to a video recording that you can stop/rewind. Heck, you can even take some proper notes that you will actually understand!

My wife is a professor.

What you say is true for some students. But for some students it appears that paying attention is much harder when it is a video vs the same material presented in a live lecture. I can't fully explain it, but "I struggle to pay attention to video lectures" is a surprisingly common response from people who have been strong students in prior years.
As I understand it Goodall's studies were never in the wild, because she attracted the troop with piles of fruit to observe their behavior. So it's possible their behavior changes when they receive a windfall of fruit(happier?), or can keep going back to the same spot for fruit (as opposed to foraging over their range), or when they have caloric excess (more hunting, mating, or war?)
That's not the point. Risc-V machines are not yet price competitive, but presumably will be at some point. This is for people who are interested enough in Risc-V to spend some time and a ~$100 on it, but not thousands of of dollars. And the main reason many people are interested in Risc-V over Arm is that it's open and license free.

Agreed, nothing magic, no tricks, just solid engineering. Larger caches, lower latency caches, wider issue, larger re-order buffer, lower memory latency (30ns without TLB misses), etc. The impressive part is that much engineering resulted in a low power chip that apple can afford to put into $700 desktops and $1000 laptops and competes with the per core performance (and wins on perf/watt) against Intel and AMD.

It's interesting where people's boundaries sit when it comes to the far left and far right. I would class the Daily Mail (alternatively known as the Daily Heil) as extremely right wing, their editorial slant appears to be designed to drag the Overton window as far to the right as possible by outraging middle England about Muslims, refugees and house prices. I also wouldn't call the Guardian even vaguely left wing any more, given their relentless campaigning against Jeremy Corbyn and backchannels with the "Blue Labour" crowd. Sure, it's left of most of the British press, but then again Dutarte is left of most of the British press.

On TV, I'd say Sky News isn't _that_ far off Fox. Extremely selective on their guests and very partisan in their correspondents.
> Some material is better taught in an async fashion.

Based on the experience of teaching this semester by multiple colleagues, the problem, of course, is that students will not consume that material at all. If you try to do short quizzes to ensure they watched it, they will cheat, or just take the grade penalty.

The problem with online is that the the modicum of shame present in offline classes that forces them to pay some attention, is almost completely gone.

Have you heard of OMSCS? The online revolution is already happening. Many schools are moving to copy the model.

I've been in OMSCS for almost 5 years now. I can assuredly say that remote university education works incredibly well. Even better than in person in many respects. Not only that, but I truly believe it is vital to ensuring equal access to high quality education.

The current university system with 5% acceptance rates, 40k / year college fees, is untenable and just exacerbates class division. It's an antiquated system, and the move to fully remote degrees can't happen soon enough.

> Double precision usually refers to 64-bit floating point, like you say.

Is it? Doesn't `double` in c refers to a 32bit value?

EDIT:

So, it seems I've not dealt with this in much too long and am misremembering and therefor wrong.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("sizeof(float) = %d\n", sizeof(float));
printf("sizeof(double) = %d\n", sizeof(double));
return 0;
}

yields

sizeof(float) = 4
sizeof(double) = 8

I just believe that there could be hope on epidemiological scale, even though we have to accept that many, many cases are irrecoverable.

I believe that average resilience of people to stupid ideas could be improved. And I believe so because social networks degraded it with very specific mechanisms (like mere exposure effect), not just by putting people in touch.
Even if some states break from the compact too late for the other states to back out in an election, the end result would still be fine. I'll use the 2000 election as a concrete example to avoid a more charged recent one. Presuming that 270 electoral votes worth of states had signed up for the compact before the election, and then a couple of them had defected "too late" for the other states to react, the end result would still be in keeping with the goal of the compact. At worst, a "partial compact" has no effect, and at best it still accomplishes the goal of the "full" compact.
I'm a layman, so take this with a grain of salt, but here's the basic legal theory...

In antitrust law, intent matters. If your primary motivating intent is to make the market less competitive, that's what gets the book thrown at you. That's why it can be so hard to prosecute antitrust, because it's pretty easy to lie your way out as long as there's no direct proof of intent.

Let's take Facebook's acquisition of Instagram. Did they buy Instagram because they saw Instagram as a threat, or did they buy Instagram because they wanted to acquire their talent and improve their product? For a long time, you could argue it was the latter case, which warded off antitrust suits. Recently, some emails came to light where they explicitly talked about taking out Instagram because they were beginning to pose a threat. Now there's a smoking gun and a strong case to be made, which may well be prosecuted in the near future.
