I mean it's not an original idea and trying to keep it locked up in Google's internal wiki system isn't doing anyone any favors. Go look at all the posts on /r/sysadmin where everyone says to just ignore the "hello" slack/teams messages.
>The thing is that the people/kids dying because of dumb challenges or the occasional illegal/gore/murder videos &c... aren't even the problem

They are maybe a little bit of the problem
Except :

- python scoping is not really lexical (and it captures variables, not the values they contain)
- python is statement based, so lambdas are less powerful than in scheme.

So not really the same thing.
Australia's law simply breaks how a search engine works. The search engine's job is just to return the user the links to answers to their question. The provider of that answer can do whatever they wish to monetize the user. A search engine does not make enough money to pay any website it links to.

Google is not making threats, it is making a plainly obvious statement that anyone who works around the search engine industry would recognize.

Hi, I was just looking for a good iPadOS bookmark app last night, so I was surprised to see this. I downloaded your app but I have a question: do I have to connect/login to pinboard in order to create a new bookmark? I tried clicking “Done” button and the app does nothing.
I remember a short movie (from "The Outer Limits?") where frozen bodies where entangled spiritually and there was a psychopath in the group that was making a hell of their lives.

I do not remember the exact story but the idea was interesting to the 22yo me at that time (some 25 years ago)

EDIT: I think this is "The Refuge" (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/TheOuterLimits1...)
It doesn't mimic real talk, it's 10x too slow for that. To me

> Wanting a synchronous conversation is a pretty arrogant grab of someone else's time.

This is an assumption, and not always a valid one. There are plenty of circumstances where synchronous comms are warranted, such as when matters are urgent for all parties or when the respondent has a reputation for losing track of async comms.

Editing to add:

I agree that "hey" and "hi" etc. are terrible openings. However, openings (incidentally also discouraged by the linked article) such as:

> × "Hello, are you around?"

> × "hi sophie - quick question."

> × "You got a sec?"

are absolutely fine in that they imply a level of urgency and need for synchronized communication. If someone's ideologically against it and inflexible towards accommodating urgency where appropriate, it's a productivity red flag.

And I'm speaking as a modestly introverted manager who tries to avoid sync comms unless absolutely needed, but the thread seems to have gone off the deep end by arguing that sync comms are absolutely unnecessary.
For immediate replies I’d usually use “you there?” or “free for a quick chat?”. The naked greeting is just begging to get ignored.
In conversation, the equivalent is "I just have a quick question".

No you don't. You just wasted time on that sentence. An actual quick question would be, just the question. Just ask it. For god's sake.

That's my pet peeve anyway.
Yeah, with this show, I think that we are able to even debate whether that's true or whether such and such character or company depicted is based on a particular real one is part of the point.
After Crypto AG [1], does 'Swiss made' really still have the same positive connotations it used to?

I'm so over any sort of branding that proclaims the superiority of one nation over others. [2]

Same goes for Apple's 'Designed in California' etc.

The same can be said about any research whereto resources are allocated.

Making a reasonable estimate when both started, nuclear fusion seems to be a smarter investment, for if it finally be there, the benefits are incalculable.
There are less and less p2p usage, most serious games have moved to dedicated servers. And your definitation of heavy is very much incacurate.
I get the point but we would go further if we just stopped trying to police other peoples' peculiarities ... particularly ones as trivial as these.
Yes, but the claim is that the buffer you should remove is the OS's one, not the DBMS's one, because for the DBMS use case (one very large file with deep internal structure, generally accessed by one long-running process), the DBMS has information the OS doesn't.

Arrow is a different use case, for which mmap makes sense. For something like a short-lived process that stores config or caches in SQLite, it probably is actually closer to Arrow than to (e.g.) Postgres, so mmap likely also makes sense for that. (Conversely, if you're not relying on Arrow's sharing properties and you have a big Python notebook that's doing some math on an extremely large data file on disk in a single process, you might actually get better results from O_DIRECT than mmap.)

In particular, "zero memory copy" only applies if you are accessing the same data from multiple processes (either at once or sequentially). If you have a single long-running database server, you have to copy the data from disk to RAM anyway. O_DIRECT means there's one copy, from disk to a userspace buffer; mmap means there's one copy, from disk to a kernel buffer. If you can arrange for a long-lived userspace buffer, there's no performance advantage to using the kernel buffer.

How can it be spam or tangential when the person in that thread is asking exactly what OP is building and I'm sharing that to help OP reach their target customers?

Everyone shares their experience, subjective/objective opinions on OT here on HN and I did the same. Today there were several solutions related to the problems in my platform .

Sometimes months go by where I never shared the platform and sometimes there are days like this when I can share something which I felt was valuable to OP.

I'm sorry that you felt it to spammy, I'll limit my shares.
How is this different than openID connect? It would be nice to have a table with pro/cons/differences of different protocols on that page.
Those are good reasons for phoning, yes, but even then you'd be better if you're stuck in text to start off with as much urgent information as possible. "Hi Bob, the wobbulator sprocket is on fire and I need to you defusticate the gonksnaffler immediately."
No, the point is to say "hello" and nothing else.

And wait for the other person to reply, I then assume it is safe to chat.

This is obviously for more sensitive/professional settings but directly saying "we have had a 100M loss because of that M&A", even on a safe IM, is irresponsible because this is likely to pop up on their screen.
Imagine being so socially inept that you write a manifesto to dictate how others greet you.
An Oracle marketing person reached out to me for some video clips talking about Java last Summer. One of the questions they asked is where do you see Java in 25 years? At that point in time, with a six month release cycle, the answer was Java 64. :)

I got on the Java roller coaster in the Java 1.1 days... so some 23 years since I wrote my first Applet that tied to the mainframe via RMI/CORBA. Java has really evolved. Seems there is a wide range of Java developers - those fluent with streams, lambdas and other features introduced in Java 8 - and those who don't even seem to know what Java 7 try with resources are. I suspect C++ and other languages that have been around for multiple decades see the same thing. Not sure if it is the starting education or just dated material.
That doesn't mean much without knowing why they did it while alone. What does "participation" in that context even mean? And it doesn't change the possibility that a "challenge" on social media had an influence.

Any guesses about the risk she was in a priori are not relevant, and cannot be determined from that paper.
You don't even need iPhones - most of the cheap prepaid brands that you'd see next to a payday loan shop are offering Samsung's lower grade phones or OnePlus 5G phones for free if you set up autopay (it's locked to that carrier). Of course it comes with even more privacy-violating bloatware than ever, but still - 5G is no longer a rarity or expensive.
I tend to agree with this, but a friend of mine and I have had a number of conversations that could be potentially embarrassing if anyone else saw them, like during a presentation or meeting.

If this is going to be a potentially "eyes only" convo, we'll start with "cyt" for "can you talk". Any answer but an affirmative is taken to be "no", including no answer.

Works great.

I'm all for healthcare, but, on topic, it'd make even more sense to find replacements one-at-a-time for all of the products we use daily that are made up in part by crude oil.

Most plastics, many foods, many skin products, etc. all come from some by-product of oil. Because of that dependence, big oil is not only a huge industry, it's most industries, most company, most products, and touches most consumers.

Also:

"There are 1.65 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves in the world as of 2016. The world has proven reserves equivalent to 46.6 times its annual consumption levels. This means it has about 47 years of oil left."[1]

Wars have been fought over it when we still had a lot left, and we've got until maybe 2068.

Read your article. None of those things were found inside the Capitol.

If they didn't go into the Capitol, we're clearly talking about different groups. The unasked questions are: Why not? What were they there to do?

I did work in law enforcement in DC. One of the first things you learn is how to separate facts from conjecture from imagination. Mixing up the three isn't helpful to anyone and often taints you as an investigator.
How do you know it was unauthorized if they copied it from the internal wiki after you left Google?
I blame the culture, too. It’s unreal how many programmers have internalized this idea that simple code is somehow a personal failing.

One factor I’ve thought about is how many Java programmers seem to have learned design by looking at things like the Java core libraries or a few open source frameworks, without recognizing that most people are not writing code intended to be generally reusable by millions of projects and that popularity means those projects cannot modernize their style easily, either. People write new code on new projects today as if it still needs to be compatible with the early 2000s because much of the code they learned from ossified around that time, and will claim it’s “best practice” because otherwise why would this Oracle/Apache API still use it?
with proxmox, of course :)

Shame there's no way to easily export your contacts from Facebook. I've been messaging people I know from it that I actually want to stay in touch with and making sure I have other contact details.
The distinction is audience context. Patreon is a sponsor focused audience. Everything else is just informational and of declining value to the code authors. Github is the opposite.

That distinction is so important to the people writing the code. People make all kinds of requests like the sky is falling in. Sometimes there is chest thumping or big tears about how their concern is more important than everything else even if it is a major distraction and irrelevant to the road map. Unfortunately, that sort of stupidity amplifies as projects become more popular. I guess I am fortunate in that case since I am a nobody.

If people want to cut to the front of the line and dictate the importance of their concerns they can do so in a sponsor-only channel prioritized by money pledged. I am a huge fan of that.
Cool. It’s the turbine that provides the reliability and that happens to burn Jet-A rather than the Jet-A that provides the reliability and happens to be a turbine so the subject change was extraordinarily unlikely to be detected.

Both are good reasons for "Hi, I need to discuss something confidential", "Hi, may I have your immediate undivided attention" or maybe a phone call.

Just "Hi" doesn't convey enough of the intent.

"The cost of said infrastructure is miniscule"

This is so wrong, infra is very expensive for online games. It's that expensive that it's still a question to use dedicated server vs p2p because of cost.
That motivation is logical, but I think it's more considerate to type out just a few words so the recipient has some idea what's up.

For example, "hi, i have a question about web config files" or "hi, i need help with a SQL query" or "hi, we may have a production issue" or "hi, i want to propose a change to how we do builds".

This allows the recipient to prioritize. Just because they are present doesn't mean that now is a good time for every conversation.

As the article explains, why would you ever care about asking that? If you can send "hi" you can send the question.

I think some of these things also start to address internal controls issues.

The Cargill branch in my area lost at least $3M to embezzlement by an accountant who just paid phony or stretched invoices for years, which gives you an idea of the risks associated with paper and excel processes combined with lean staffing and lack of controls.
"CNN lately was basically a left wing version of FoxNews. Lots of opinion mixed with a little amount of news and clearly geared against Trump."

You don't have to be on the left to be critical of Trump. Plenty of right wingers (including Bush Jr) are critical of him. He's made a lot of enemies all over the political spectrum.

To me CNN is basically a right-wing channel, just not as right-wing as FOX.

For real left-wing media, watch Democracy Now! or read The Nation.
Why did you create a webpage just for this?

> “The threat we need to build privacy tools against is essentially suburban-bourgeois and mob governance”

no, that’s exactly wrong in ways that really matter, distracting us from real threats to free and fair living, which are exertions of power by large organizations (including governments) and wealthy (influential) people (including politicians).

the focus on the capitol disturbance is exactly this kind of distraction as well, trying to vilify the relatively powerless while the real ‘villains’ (to satirize) ratchet up their hold on power and insulate themselves further from consequences and answerability to their constituent stakeholders.

we should not be looking askance at each other, but rather askance at anyone trying to garner power and influence. the balance of power has no lasting stable mode so we as citizens must keep tabs on power. the last 50+ years has been a slow neglect of that duty, allowing ourselves to be distracted by all the new shinies.

I think the right way to deal with the frustration of this is to find a way to let of your frustration. Why? Because carping about it here and making web sites for this is going to change nothing.

There are reasons people start chats like this, and those reasons aren’t going to go away, so this is going to keep happening whether it annoys you or not.

* They want to have a live chat with you and are trying to see if you are available for this. “Hi” -> “Are you currently available for a conversation?”

* A message that jumps right to the point can be considered rude or disrespectful, especially if the sender is going to ask you for something, and double if they are going to ask you for something difficult or outside your routine responsibilities. Culture, personalities of both parties, and the dynamic of the relationship between them all play a role here. Sometimes a person starting a chat feels they need to move slowly.
Me neither.

Him: Great, [talks about non work-related shit]

I really liked this guy, but god damn he loved to chat. He spent about half of my onsite time talking on the phone with his mother or wife. I always wondered how he got anything done, since he clearly did this when I wasn't there as well according to his coworkers.
But the first thing the article says to do instead is say "Hi" or "as many pleasantries as you see fit". Did you read it?
