My high school had it as required reading (over summer vacation). I was never a big reader to begin with so this book along with others (Jude the Obscure, A Separate Peace) have always been in a bad light for me in my mind (I guess having a book that I would tested and grilled over first thing in the school year does that). However, as an adult I found reading books such as IT, Silence of the Lambs and The Grapes of Wrath really entertaining. When I have some time I think I'll give this classic another try.
Right, just like Germany survived the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923 just fine, democracy intact.

People are fools to think this is all just suddenly over now that Trump is gone and big-tech de-platformed one tiny social media platform.
This. I don't understand how people constantly conflate wfh with a lockdown.
No, they're using a gateway in case you didn't choose to install your own go-ipfs local node.
None of that was linked to transfer of power or an election

That sounds good and all, but what if the local Government isn't doing it... what is the next step?
> This has been the left’s rhetoric for eons.

Except it hasn't been. You just don't want to listen to what people are actually saying because it's easier to argue against a strawman.

FWIW lots of people on the left do the same thing. So I guess you're in good company?

Taiwan's defenses can hold up against minor probing from China, nothing truly sustained.

The true deterrent to China isn't any treaty agreement to protect Taiwan, which doesn't exist. It's the realpolitik of 30,000 US troops in Taiwan.

Any significant & sustained attack against Taiwan would harm US troops. They'd be little more than a speedbump for China if China acted quickly & in force, but that speedbump would require a significant-- and perhaps disproportionate-- response from the US.
Hi! I've looked around a few games and more often than not they are using il2cpp. I've also noticed that newer versions of games that used to run mono are now using il2cpp.
I love WFH. The lockdown is the problem. Can't really travel, or do the normal things in life.
You're confusing having a very large population at middle income for being a developed country. China is four times larger than the largest developed nation. Even at Bulgaria-level income development, that guarantees that they'll "dominate" most aggregate measurements. Doesn't really say anything about the success of their economy.

Even within their area of strength, manufacturing, China severely lags the liberal democracies. On a per capita basis, its manufacturing output is more than three times lower than Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Korea, Sweden or the Netherlands. It even produces less than half per capita as the US or UK, who don't even specialize in manufacturing. China is barely above Brazil or Turkey on a per capita metric.

And outside manufacturing, China's level of development is abysmal. It produces virtually nothing competitive in the service sector. China exports essentially zero financial services, media, software, professional services, or travel services. China has internally developed barely any internationally successful pharmaceuticals, Internet properties, film or television franchises, marketable brand names, banking franchises, auto models, jet aircraft, or microprocessors.

The success of China's tech companies is almost certainly because the Chinese government doesn't allow much stronger American competitors to enter the market. The reason Europe doesn't have a Baidu is because Google was allowed to compete in Europe. The entire Chinese tech industry's sole global success has been TikTok. The inability to compete on the global market proves that the Chinese tech industry does not measure up to their American counterparts. This is corroborated by the fact that not a single major software project has ever come out of China.
> I've got more kids than you do

They never said how many kids they had, which makes it hard to take your comment seriously.

You don't know what their kids are like, how much spousal support they have, the floorplan or acoustics of their home, how hard their work is, or what their threshold for noise is.

> None of that is a criticism of people who are struggling. Just looking to offer another point of view.

No. It's easy to convince yourself that that sort of thing is helpful, but all you're really saying is that you can't understand because your particular circumstances are better.
Updating makes them more secure. Browser vulnerabilities are found almost continually, but only the severe ones make the rounds on news sites.
LISP died for many people on the need for this function. I sat in the back of a LISP session at IETF as people got in the microphone queue to say "but who is going to run the name service and mapping function"

Well.. looks like that problem is being solved.

I hate this being tied to 'chains. It is the kiss of death to work of merit. Better to tie it to 'distributed ledger models'
That is much easier to do when there is real competition and transparency. Unfortunately my only high speed ISP is Comcast and I had no idea that parts of my phone were made by slaves until just recently. Until business has less power, we cannot instill morals in a meaningful way.

I think the concept of Karma points is bullshit and punitive. It makes people negative. PG should know that by now and so should Reddit. Karma is inherently toxic.

Anything that encourages vanity is. And karma encourages it more than anything. As do likes / dislikes. Numbers of votes. Numbers of likes. It's all the same. People competing for attention.

And justified by an angry mob because Karma.
I had to leave California (been there 6 years). I was lucky because I had four other room mates to keep me company but even with that it was tough. I also wasn't really enjoying what I was working on at my previous company (adtech) and needed a change.

I ended up moving to Taiwan a few weeks ago. Zero COVID here, and was surprisingly easy to immigrate (coming from someone who was dealing with the US immigration system as a Canadian). Working at a fun startup back on the consumer product side instead. Went to a bar for the first time in a year last week and was able to just sit in a coffee shop with 10 other people this morning. I'm still teaching myself to read/speak Chinese but it's totally worth it.

Anyone with experience with TypeScript/React interested in tagging along to Taiwan, send me an email (my email is in my hacker news profile). I'm actively hiring engineers now. We're a distributed team across many different countries but a few of us hang out in Taipei together at a coworking space. It's the best of both worlds, I'm able to WFH when I feel like it but still go to a public space to be around people
That long story and it didn't look like they got much out of it. At that point you start to wonder about the motive. Drugs? Plus not having a lot of intellegence or skill?
I didn't mean to imply the result is always ideal or even good. That's one of the dangers of revolutions and suppression of dissent.

I'm saying there is no reason to be surprised when you're asking platforms to ignore Trump's attempt to end democracy and they decline.

To give a hypothetical: if Trump's followers were harassing Matt Prince's family every day at home, work, and school there wouldn't be any hand-wringing about "free speech" or "censorship" from Cloudflare. Anyone related to Trump would find themselves banned in short order. That would be purely a move of self-preservation.

Similarly a lot of platforms (and donors) realize these people are no longer useful idiots but deluded to the point of ransacking the house of Congress in an attempt to overturn the election. That's really dangerous and could destabilize the country and even the world. When faced with an existential threat don't be shocked when people are unwilling to sit down and debate on behalf of MAGAs/Fox News acting in bad faith.
No offense but this advice is rather risky and legally dangerous, please don't tell people to potentially put their products in jeopardy by doing this. The correct thing to do is for MongoDB/Elastic to just clarify the wording in the license.
> At this point what large company hasn't had breaches or cancelled projects?

'Breaches' and 'cancelled projects' aren't the only scandals and failures to come out of Facebook ... just the other day on HN front page was an article (from 2018) where Facebook openly admitted that their platform enabled the Myanmar crisis.
Presumably, the police need a warrant unless you volunteer it. The insurance company may need to subpoena the footage from you or you may be required to turn it over as a condition of coverage (I have no idea if any company is actually doing this).
Visiting China (Shanghai, Beijing, Nanking, Hangzhou) they all seemed like modern cities. Shops, restaurants, enormous shopping centers, coffeeshops, co-working spaces, theaters, bars, dance clubs, etc... Other than knowing I happened to be in China it certainly appear that in day to day life things are pretty good and the experience of living is similar to living in any modern western city.
2015 isn't 2021, and I believe you can get microsoft 10 for free now.

I know I got some microsoft os version for my virtualbox to run windows programs on arch linux (yes, I'm an arch user /meme).

IMHO, MacOS would be better off allowing devs to develop off apple products, because they'd get their dev fees, and royalties in app store from more developers making up for their china-like control of the platform.

Unenforced policies depend on everyone doing the right thing, and we agree they are doomed to fail. If there was any enforcement at all they could have made a dent. There are plenty of other policies in the USA that are effective because we manage to enforce. Do you know anybody who got a ticket for violating stay-at-home? I don’t.

That's quite futile. Unless you're Obama and can bargain for the right to bring a regiment of guards allowed to brandish shotguns your guard stand no chance of resisting Putin's men.

I agree most enthusiastically.

Upon reading the title I was anticipating an article that would provide a great deal of catharsis, only to find "programming whilst listening to music" and "cleaning dishes whilst cooking"...

I'm currently wearing a number of hats in a software implementation project (project management, change management, data management, training, communications) and having to switch between is like coordinating to put down a heavy piece of furniture being carried by six people and then assigning those same six people to help pick up another piece of heavy furniture.

Or, more succinctly:

Flywheel 1 must be stopped before flywheel 2 can be started.

I should write my own article.
93% of the BLM protests were peaceful [1] despite protestors numbering in the millions, if not tens of millions - compared to the tens of thousands at the capitol. The most notable violence during the BLM protests was an incident where far right extremists, members of Bugaloo boys group involved in the capitol attack, used the protests as cover to murder cops [2].

To compare the two is disingenuous.

Do you want free-to-play with micro transaction bullshit? Because this attitude is how you get f2p with mtx bullshit.

Software has a marginal cost of zero. In a supply and demand world we add arbitrary restrictions (copyright) to constrain supply to incentivize the creation of new supply.

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

Also, GameStop would sell a used disc for $55 while a new disc was $60. Because they get 100% of $55. Then their associates HEAVILY pushed used on gamers who don’t give a shit and just want to save 5 bucks.

Sony has been making big story heavy games. There’s nothing wrong with a $60 narrative experience that lasts 20 to 30 hours. The Last of Us 2 is exactly that. Some gamers will buy that game on Tuesday and finish by Friday. Should GameStop sell that disc for $55 and collect all the proceeds when the game hasn’t been out for a week? Avoiding the used sale is why devs tack-on all kinds of bullshit the game doesn’t really need.

Fuck GameStop. Garbage company that has caused more harm to gamers than people will ever know.

One possibility for the TTL design rather than something more integrated is that such coarse chips are much less susceptible to damage from hard radiation, and this clock must have been a very important part of the spacecraft control systems.
Well JavaScript isn't going to see any more leaps in performance, and people write slower JavaScript than they wrote yesterday, on average, so it must be remediated somehow.

And until a lot of people realize that most web technologies are fundamentally bad, things are not going to get better.

We are not going to be using this same web tech in 300 years, almost certainly, so at some point it's going to change. It won't be soon, because people love tradition, even when it causes them pain.

So, for now, it's webassembly time.

Big deal, they barely produce any cars.

If Musk threatened to go to jail because a governor did not let him keep his plant open through COVID, he will be eviscerated by some UAW guy and will outsource the entire production ASAP.

Ramon Lull engine. My mother used to do this, for post-modernist theory formation, and other japes.
I think you might be taking this a bit too far.

This was made possible in part by the culmination of multiple democratization events that made it viable for Yum Brands: a large company but nowhere near the big guys to be able to effectively punch above their weight class.

1) Youtube allowed them to shoot some silly 15 min short film and not have to worry about massive distribution costs or paying for a spot on TV.

2) The rise of Netflix and other streaming has helped to break down the walls that may have prevented KFC from even considering to hire people like Mario Lopez.

3) The Console is just a PC in a custom case. The increasing commoditization of tech + the rise of cheaper and cheaper manufacturing of commodity components allows the production of one off SKUs like this to be within reach to more and more organizations.

We see amazing quality videos being produced by people in their bedrooms. It stands to reason that an ambitious company with a decent budget would produce something like this.

Years ago, Google experimented with enabling regular people to buy TV ad spots through Google ADs. I feel like that was a democratization of getting on TV for regular people that I wish was continued but I guess Google had a different vision.
They have not taken this threat seriously. You specifically mentioned militias, but the domestic terror threat is not just militias.

Look at this case for example. He has left many threatening voicemails to congress members over several years, including while under probation, and the FBI just told him to knock it off without arresting him. So he kept doing it. They only finally arrested him after the terrorist attack on the capitol.

>According to the complaint, Capriotti repeatedly called multiple Congressional offices in Washington, D.C., between October 2019 and January 2020 and left “disturbing, anonymous messages” that often included “profanity along with derogatory remarks concerning the race, religion, political affiliation, or physical appearance” of some members of Congress.

>FBI agents located Capriotti and interviewed him last February, according to the complaint, which states that Capriotti admitted making the calls but insisted he was “just f---ing with them” and “didn’t mean any ill will.”

>The agents advised Capriotti to stop making the calls, but phone records showed he continued to do so between February and November 2020. A series of voicemails Capriotti allegedly made to Congressional offices in November and December were then detailed in the complaint.

Tl;dr Daughters, but only when they’re young, and the propensity increases with the more daughters you have.
The stats are nice, but as I said before, you have to tie them much more closely to the actual theories being discussed.

You're trying to equate 'extrajudicial death penalties' (and in context, they were revenge-based, not defensive) with gun ownership and self-defense.

You're then equating 'Germans don't really think about using guns for self-defense' with 'a law and order society'.

And then you're trying to say that we can make informed comments about "extrajudicial death penalty vs. law and order society" by looking at "more gun ownership in the US vs. less gun ownership in Germany". It just doesn't compute.

The comparison isn't there. The stats don't fit the argument.
I've been doing a large part of what you mention voluntarily for nearly the whole time and I'm curious what you take issue with

- 8pm-5am curfew (you have to be at home)

- no visitors
- 5km radius (this lasted for what felt like 6 months)

- you had to wear your mask as soon as you left your house (this went for months, we still have to wear masks in shops (even though we have zero cases))

- you could only go to the super market once per day, and you had to go by yourself

- you were only allowed outside for exercise for 1 hour (with 1 person)

- no gyms, hospo, group events, activities etc

These all seem reasonable in a pandemic to me. Considering yalls success, I would say extremely reasonable. What is the alternative? A half assed version of those (my state imposed a weak curfew, bans to arbitrary activity, but nothing really targeted at preventing COVID). I think there is a particular horror in the current US (and elsewhere) experience where it quite literally feels like a lottery of who among your contacts will get it next. Is two months of an admitted harsh lockdown not worth avoiding that?

- lots of shops forced you to give your details over and some demanded that you sanitize your hands (these are two things I didn't want to do for my own reasons)

- increase of police powers, fines around $1600

That I find more concerning, and agree with you

> My company doesn't even hash passwords...

I understand this is somewhat my privilege speaking here, but I don't think I could continue working at a company that didn't do something as basic as hashing passwords (and refused to prioritize fixing that as soon as I pointed it out). It's a massive ethical, if not legal (IANAL), liability -- and a huge breach of users' trust. It's 2021, hashing user passwords is astonishingly easy; I can't imagine any remotely justifiable excuse for something like that.
Well, I doubt the US military is too concerned with chasing the transistor density per cm^2, but there are cutting edge areas of military tech in the form of weapons guidance, fighter jet avionics & weapons systems, etc. that may require more advanced capabilities in components-- I don't know.

(As an aside, when we sell things like fighter jets to other countries, they do not get the same avionics & weapons/targeting systems that we use)

It's hit or miss in my experience. My first Baofeng was well behaved as far as RF interference, but it was so shoddily built that it literally fell apart on me a couple of years into ownership (the battery latch, belt clip, and TX button all broke within a week of each other).

My second Baofeng was more physically sound but had issues with RF harmonics on UHF so it was useless on the band I wanted it for.

I've since gotten a Radioddity DMR handheld and it's both physically and functionally sound. It cost the same as four Baofengs but it's worth it, not to mention the ability to talk on DMR groups.

Speaking as someone who has closely known struggling and recovering addicts, that's a callous and haughty simplification. Don't let addicts drag you down, but to judge them as if they simply choose worse than other people is radically unkind to a fellow human who is struggling.
