I thought so too, but in the last few months, I wasn't sure. Comments seemed pretty polarizing, but each "side" was about equal in number.

Prior to the last few months, it seemed like political discussions were actually nuetral/objective. Hopefully it returns that way.

Since there are services that have ad-free tiers I think it can work that way.

> how large the disconnect had grown between management and the front line

That's just the nature of leadership positions. As people get high up in the position, the view of the company is shaped by their staff and reports. The VP never hear of the problem simply because no one ever told the VP. VP never asked about it because again no one ever told the VP. That's why corporates seem to ask a million surveys and reports because there is no other way to know that information.

What if employee surveys were never conducted? The VP would only know about the employee satisfaction issue if everyone left, well beyond the point that it's fixable. If you are on the ground, it's easy to ask your coworkers for that information. But if you are the VP, that's not possible.

Curious if anyone has experience with Iris or IPFS-based stuff like Peergos, Anytype, and Peepeth. The only ones on this list that I know you can just "get on" and starting doing stuff are SSB, Aether, Fediverse, and of course XMPP and Matrix. I'm surprised that Urbit isn't covered in here because it definitely has more users than Aether and Solid (which has 0 currently).

Exactly this. To me it was proof that 99% of the Bitcoin community (such as the Bitcoin subreddit which had an absurd amount of influence, thus why taking it over and censoring discussion was so effective) didn't care about Bitcoin as a currency and had never once used it as a currency. They just bought it on Coinbase and never even transferred to their own wallet.

Meanwhile people like me who actually cared about using the damn thing, would be paying a $60 transaction fee on a $20 purchase simply because the powers that be decided that increasing the blocksize, (aka increasing the arbitrary global transaction throughput cap) was somehow antithetical to bitcoin's decentralized design.
> Someone needs to watch Abby Martin's series on the U.S. empire's lies about Venezuela.

This Abby Martin?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abby_Martin:

> She hosted Breaking the Set on the Russian network RT America from 2012 to 2015. In 2015, Martin launched the investigative documentary and interview series The Empire Files, originally hosted by Telesur....

> In 2008, Martin was part of the 9/11 Truth movement,[9][10][11][12][13] starting her own 9/11 Truther group in San Diego.[14][15] In a 2008 video of a 9/11 truth movement demonstration, she said: "I’ve researched it for three years and every single thing that I uncover solidifies my belief that it was an inside job and that our government was complicit in what happened."[16]

My understanding is Telesur is basically a Venezuelan-run RT clone. It's considered extremely unreliable by Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per...:

> Telesur was deprecated in the 2019 RfC, which showed consensus that the TV channel is a Bolivarian propaganda outlet. Many editors state that Telesur publishes false information.

>Why are so many compilers not utilizing more pure functional paradigms? Focusing on transformations of input to output instead of doing side effects. It seems like such a perfect fit

The primary engineering and scientific challenge of compilers is optimization. That is all about finding a needle in a haystack, converting that to a slightly different needle, and putting it back in the same location in the haystack. This is something functional languages are fairly poor at.

Show HN: Pluto – In-browser spatial video chat
Excited to share a side project I have been working on with my friends at Fluxon (Erad and AJ (@lasersox)) and Katsuya Noguchi (@katsuyan).

We got sick of all the Zoom happy hours, birthday parties, and company get togethers. In parallel, serendipity largely died - you could no longer run into a friend or co-worker or interesting new person given social distancing.

So, we put together Pluto - built on webRTC with MediaSoup and webGL with THREE.js and many other technologies.

Pluto is a browser-only VR space (no headsets needed) for spacial video chats and hangouts. You can move around in using first-person shooter-like controls. Sound decays with distance so different groups can break up and hang out.

Just drop in a link, and you can attend an event over video (no headset, no nothing). Create a virtual world in just one click!

Everything is represented in 3D which means people can randomly run into each other and serendipity can finally happen again.

We have built out a number of worlds using Blender to construct 3D models of :
-Burning Man
-The Maldives
-Admont Abbey Library
-A room in old Austria.

You can go to https://pluto.video to try it in your own VR in-browser world. It is best tried out with friends but can also be fun to explore the virtual world solo.

Come check it out and let us all know what you think!

It is still early / janky but we wanted to get it out there and get some feedback :)

We will be hanging out at an instance from 11am to 1:30pm PT at https://team.pluto.video.

Pluto was partially inspired in part by new social experiments on the web like Clubhouse, Gatherly, Rally, Rambly, Sonar, Teamflow, Yorb and others....

Yes, we know that smoking increases dangers from Covid-19. There is, however, a self-induced aspect that makes it at least worth discussing as a valid policy.

And let me add that anyone can suddenly become a smoker right beforehand to qualify.

You can't deny it's at the very least awkward social policy.

The name -- and service -- feels very reminiscent of GrooveShark.

I am genuinely sorry that so many men appear to grow up in a culture that teaches this about women. It's deeply misogynist, and makes the assumption that women must hate men just as much.

This simply isn't the case. The vast majority of women genuinely like men. Not as penises to be notched, but as human beings. Many of them want a long-term partner because it makes them feel good. It's nice to have a person they can rely on and develop a life with. It's hard enough to find one person for that, and many are content with finding that one person. For most women that's going to mean finding one man.

And that gets even harder when faced with the sheer number of men who seem to think the way you do, seeing women as commodities on a "super efficient market" to meet their "sexual needs" -- and threatening "antisocial activity" when they're not met. If you ever wonder why women refuse to date you, you can cross off everything you think is at the top of your list -- money, attractiveness, ambition, whatever. Every reason women refuse to date you is in your post here, and none of the others matters even a tiny fraction as much as you think it does.

Your "sexual frustration" has nothing to do with women. If you need an orgasm, go take care of it yourself. If what you want is a trophy of your economic and sexual prowess, don't use a human being for that. If what you want is a partner in life -- including one who takes an interest in your sexuality -- stop talking about them as if that were a commodity to be purchased or a prize to be won. And certainly not as predators looking to use you, because that's precisely how you are appearing to them.

Women are human beings. Seek out a human connection with them, and you'll discover that that's something that they want, too. That doesn't make it easy to find one who is a good match that stands up to years or decades. But that's not the reason you're alone, brooding about how better men are taking up all the women.

Yes that's why I am suggesting you go read some research about it from people that know a thing or two about the subject.

Just because you personally, with an outsider perspective and no specific knowledge about this field, have a tough time believing DNA could have evolved here does not make it so.

The state of our understanding stops at RNA not at DNA. So if something came from somewhere else, once again, it was RNA. You don't get to draw the boundaries of what we know and don't just based on your gut feeling and cheap analogies.
It is likely your friend was paid better because they were assigned higher grade. Just for being PhD I think you are automatically bumped to something like senior engineer or higher.

Intel has grading system which you can try to google. You are paid according to your grade (+ benefits based on performance, etc.) Also, you are evaluated against your grade and you can gain or loose a grade based on performance (but more likely than loosing a grade is that you will be let go).

I have been given a grade that was over my head at the time and would require me to technically advise and coordinate multiple projects, have outside presence (ie present at tech conferences, take part in opensource projects, etc.) and basically work at a level that I have not been ready for. And yet I was not able to make ends meet.

I guess when I was hired I got absolutely excited about what I am going to work on and plans for bright future, that I have completely ignored the possibility that I may be over my head and that I may not be able to advance so quickly.

This was one of the operational concepts for Lockheed's Sea Shadow.

The Outer Air Battle was keeping Navy planners up at night, so the idea of laying a clandestine SAM trap far out in front of the carrier battle group seemed like a really attractive idea. Using a combo of LPI radar and data links from other sensors for targeting, the low observable ships could be in just the right spot to surprise that regiment-sized raid of Backfires with a bunch of missiles fired from VLS cells.

> if you can't write or read regex and your job is programming, spending an afternoon learning them should be your next step

I’m one of those super stubbornly bullheaded people who believes I can learn or do anything if I’m simply willing to devote the time/energy to it so I don’t say this lightly:

I am absolutely incapable of “reading” RegEx.

I use RegEx. I (conceptually) understand RegEx. I can write Regex quickly and effectively without much thought. But I can’t read it to save my life. In fact it’s so difficult for me that I struggle to believe there are people who actually can “read” it.

I can decipher it but it’ll take me a bit - more like solving a little puzzle in my head than reading and understanding a piece of code.

And judging by the way a lot of people talk about RegEx (including seasoned programmers) I can’t imagine I’m alone.
I'd want something like this and the more compact language.

Classic regex syntax has a similar problem as purely expression-based languages: it's hard to clearly delineate between smaller and larger scale structures.

Sometimes, brevity is clarity. It's bad to write matchDigit().times(2).match('-').matchDigit().times(2) instead of simply '\d\d-\d\d'. So even with the problems with metacharacters, I don't think you want to lose that.

But more complex regexes are clearest when the individual parts are assigned to meaningful names and they're then composed into the final expression.

Most regex implementations require that you're doing string-munging to compose regular expressions, and developers and maintainers must be aware of the semantics of that string-munging to the regex compiler.

Allowing the dev to compose regular expressions from parts, then, seems like the greatest opportunity here for improving regex syntax. It'd be especially helpful for any dynamically generated regular expression, and you could have facilities like a "quote" operator.
I left NCSA (University of Illinois) to join the dot-com boom like everyone else. Curious thing about their pay scale: I made 15% more on day one than any of my friends who had been working 18 months at the same place, which was a giant relief because I did not have the spoons to work as much as they did and still keep up with classes. I got more per hour and working a full 40 hours a week was just assumed, instead of something I had to fight for.

The reason I made more money than them was Marc Andreesen. Someone got wind of how much they had been compensating him not to leave and they put the kibosh on it, but they were smart about it. They sugar coated the change by compressing the pay scale toward the middle, instead of squashing it down. If you weren't Marc Andreesen (and he'd been gone for over a year and the people he had poached gone for ~8 months at this point), then your pay didn't change. If you were new, like me, you were better off with the change.

You can keep top end people by giving them autonomy instead of more money, but I don't know if, in the long term, that's in Intel's best interests either. People generally trust that my heart is in the right place, but I'm human. Some of my decisions are wrong, and some are just so abstruse that they appear wrong, so I get push-back on both. I've worked at places that are 'top-heavy', where enough people have been Peter Principal-ed into MAX_RANK and there's no room in the org chart to dilute them with more promising people. In fact I work at one of these now. To a first order approximation, I'm just collecting the pay while I convince myself what I want to do next, which is proving to be more difficult than it ever has before, so I'm just here.

The conclusion of this article is basically "I don't understand how to use common sense and data at the same time, so I'll hark back to old-timey "gut instinct" and good-ol-fashioned selection bias hidden by my own lack of self-understanding to validate my ignorance, oh and here's some BS about lockdown policies."

Yes, that's the standard approach, but the base images are frequently updated. If you really want to pin at a specific image, you need to specify the image hash, rather than using the "latest", or even a version tag (e.g. "2.1").

In your image that extends from the base image, you'll typically update the package repo cache (it is typically cleared after building the base image, to reduce the size), then install whatever packages you want.

Like you, I don't see a particular issue with updating system-level packages - especially from a security standpoint.
The .end() occurs because the approach taken procedural construction via a "linear" path. And that's because that maps nicely to the chained.function().syntax(). That gets ugly if the terms have multiple arguments.

(S (NP (N DOG))
(VP (V KICKS))
(NP (N MAN)))

becomes:

(S DOG.N().NP()
KICKS.V().VP()
MAN.N().NP())

so far not bad, but now we deal with S, that now becomes a method of DOG.(N).(NP).

DOG.N().NP().S(KICKS.V().VP(),
MAN.N().NP())

The main connective S is now buried in the middle. We start with DOG, a fourth-level leaf element, make a N out of it, the NP, and now we start a sentence construction, where we bring in other parts. The structure reveals the evaluation order, not the actual structure.

BTW, the TXR Lisp version of this syntax is a tad more readable:

DOG.(N).(N).(S KICKS.(V).(VP)
MAN.(N).(N))

Even when we have obj.fun(arg) as a given, we should at least move the parenthesis before the function: obj.(fun arg).

Good, sounds like things have improved a lot since I was using Linux. Sucky drivers are a starting point, last time I was on Linux as a daily driver, I had to use a PCMCIA card with a binary blob from Broadcom because the internal wireless card was dead.

Hopefully with a little bit of money and some enthusiasm from the team, they'll be able to make more progress.

A lot of people bitching about this being a waste of effort, but all the things they do here have follow on effects. If they improve the Broadcom drivers for the M1, much of that work will directly benefit everyone else on Broadcom.
