> students freely contributed what would be considered conservative mainstream opinions without retribution

Sure, but the presence of these opinions is not the same thing as proof of a diverse, free-thinking environment. I shared unpopular opinions too—when I felt I could. It wasn't always easy to do so.

The chilling effect is hard to measure because people self-censor and self-censorship is invisible. It's a bit hard to explain, but if we take your metric and extend it, you can see where it falls short: just because there are black students on campus doesn't mean they feel welcome or comfortable to share their minds.
I wonder if they decided to go with Scrum or Kanban
Problems with GNOME are not a fantasy.

Fantasy: Wayland does not support screen capture.

This criticism is not legitimate. In actual truth, many Wayland compositors do support screen capture.

Not fantasy: GNOME on Wayland does not support server-side decorations.

This is a legitimate criticism of GNOME.
There are many languages and runtimes that use their own calling conventions - not the least of which is C++ - and even stack layouts. The problem with Go is specifically the spaghetti stack that they need for coroutines. But that is an inherent design issue - a systems programming language is supposed to play well with the system, and that means being able to use the standard OS APIs properly. Which on basically all platforms other than Linux means going via libc or equivalent (e.g. Win32). Go designers just unilaterally decided that the rules don't apply to them, because reasons. And the end result was stuff like this:

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16606

So now they're gradually backtracking on all platforms - macOS switched to libc a while ago.
Forget the arguments about counting pixels for a moment... Mobile browsers have a "request desktop site" switch that seems to work pretty reliably, even though the viewport is still tall.

Yet when I tile my browser to the left or right of my giant 4k display, I frequently get a mobile site with text that you can read from across the street. Is there a way to jusr get a "request desktop site" switch that performs the same magic on my desktop browser?
I think the more common stance is that diversity is neutral, not good or bad but merely incidental.
It really comes down to the tenets I posted above from Amazon. At MS there was a propensity for folks in these roles to just pontificate. We called them "Architecture Astronauts". As an example, they were rarely practitioners (they rarely wrote code).
That’s something Amazon does well:

Principal engineers are expected to give talks about their experience, which are heavily attended in person and widely shared.

It’s not perfect, but it’s less abstract when one or two concepts at a time, they explain why those truism through their personal experience.

“Earn Trust” is a truism — but being able to search for talks by the keyword “earn trust” where a high level engineer discusses different situations from their career and how they handled them is useful.
To me doesn’t look like an audiophile review. An audiophile can’t accept a Bluetooth connection, especially with AAC.

Launch HN: TermScout – Algo-based software contract ratings
Hi HN!

Today we're launching TermScout (https://termscout.com), a software contract rating platform. We developed a contract abstraction and scoring algorithm that enables apples-to-apples comparisons of software contracts. Our initial database has 150 public contracts. These are typically the click-through customer agreements for cloud and SaaS providers that many of you likely regularly sign. Think AWS, Salesforce, Snowflake, Looker, etc.

You can search for contracts that you plan to sign (or have already signed) and use our free high level ratings as a gut check before signing something that you may not have time to read. If you work at one of companies in our database, you can use our contract ratings and comparisons to help accelerate the sales cycle, especially if your contract outperforms your competitors. You can purchase more detailed analysis of a contract or become a paid subscriber for unlimited access to all of our contract data.

The easiest way to get started is to head to our site (https://termscout.com) and start searching for software companies. We've got full sample reports (https://termscout.com/samples/aws) that you can view to get a sense of the level of detail we provide to paid users. We've also got a promotion code for HN (ScoutHacker25) which you can apply at checkout for 25% off.

We'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback.
But you can. The separation is critical to the entire computing industry. The entire reason why higher level programming languages exist is to separate the form (assembly) from function.

Usually there are "costs" to doing this and much engineering work is done to reduce this cost as much as possible. Either way, what you say is categorically wrong. Separating form and function is not a "mistake" given that it is so fundamental to the entire industry.
> Make trust the default, not the exception.

So the death of anonymity. I already hear the defenders of such a proposal: "If you don't want to give Facebook your federally issued ID then you still have the darkweb!" Followed by an endless stream of hit pieces equating everyone fleeing to non-privacy invasive platforms as nazis/pedos, and mobs of idiots demanding that infrastructure providers null-route wrong-thinkers.

Are you sure that really want a CAC? The OPM gave my biometrics and SSB to China, as well as every other military/gov employee. Except the CIA - the only one who managed to fight off the administrative record merge. If only they didn't draw so heavily from the veteran pool...
Shalom to you too! I got your email, will write to you very soon. And thanks for the comment, it sounds like we're aligned on our mission for great performance and user privacy.
Ask HN: How does your remote department celebrate wins?
You just hit a deadline, pushed through some crunch time, made a major rollout happen. We used to do office parties or group kickball games or outings to Dave and Busters, or have Nerf Gun Running Man throughout the office after hours, but now that there's no office and getting within 10 ft of your colleagues is asking for a superspreader event, what are you doing to boost morale and celebrate shared victories?

How close do you think the user has to be to the DC? It seems like you're dismissing the hardware sharing out of hand.

From my perspective, I probably average 8 hours of gaming a month, so there is plenty of opportunity to pack my usage onto some shared hardware.
This: there's definitely misinformation going on both sides (both on wsb and the media). You can't really trust anyone in a full-fledged war, and I think this is one of those situations. For those who didn't put money on this, let's wait and see how it goes.

Although the truth is, retail traders are incredibly disadvantaged due to immense informational asymmetry. Hedge funds probably have access to all the data they want (for example, Citadel having access to Robinhood trade flow), but ordinary people have to first wade through all the misleading information both on mainstream media and on social media, so it's a pretty hard fight. But regardless of the results, I think there would be much more distrust towards financial institutions and mainstream media overall due to this event, and this would be only the beginning of 2021.
KDE Wayland supports the Nvidia proprietary driver, Gnome Wayland kinda supports it but is still working on it. If/when Ubuntu switches from X for Nvidia users you won't have to go to the nouveau driver.
Honestly, it all seems dangerously nihilistic to me.
search for "dual coding theory", it's a recognised method of enhancing learning, with research behind it.
What’s the eventual monetization strategy?
I mean this is all true, but it’s worth pointing out that Wayland is actually an effort to get rid of X11 on the Linux desktop by introducing a new protocol.

Given this, it’s not surprising Wayland has become the name associated with the overall goal.
Wait until you hear about the US dollar...
Ask HN: Why are encrypted native SMS clients not a bigger thing?
What’s preventing people from using a third party sms client (or even just a keyboard) that auto-encrypts the contents of the sms as it goes back and forth?

I get that a separate channel is more profitable, more controllable, but is that the only reason this concept hasn’t already taken off?

I see a few tools on the app stores that do this, but clearly no big players yet (afaik)

> How much of the market share is Nvidia? A stupid quick search's top result says 80%. So 80% of PCs can't run Wayland?

No.

Long-term Nvidia share is about ~18%, AMD ~12% and Intel ~70%. But that's for the entire market, and since Windows gamers are skewing toward Nvidia, that makes the rest to make up the percentage.

So 80% not being able to run Wayland due to being Nvidia is grossly incorrect.
It does seem like a bad name. Anarchy Zone might better capture the predicament. Or simply Lawless Zone.

The focus on murder ignores all of the other crimes you could commit like illegal logging, wildcat mining, or endangered species poaching.
> Intrinsic inequality of bargaining power

This point is usually brought up in regards to healthcare emergencies. But emergencies only make up a small fraction of healthcare spending[1].

Maybe people have less bargaining power because of agreements with providers/insurers. That's a barrier to an effective market with price sensitivity, but it's a contingent one, not a mathematically inevitable one. For much of our healthcare spending the balance of bargaining power could look like it does for food.

> only losers would be the short selling hedge fund

That's true for when stock went from $4 to $350, but who are the "losers" when stock goes from $350 to, let's say $7?

Also, who are the "winners" on that $350 -> $7 journey?
Car navigation panels where Wayland is already used?

Also, screen sharing is not that easy of a problem if done properly (eg. allowing another app to act on the buffer and directing it here and there)
> everyone who buys late [...] Maybe I'm missing something

The narrative on WSB was that you wouldn't be "late" buying in even late last week at $350, because the goal post was raised to $1000. Many people guessing it would go to $5000. Others saying $10,000. Followed by lots of rocket emojis.

Considering how people have witnessed the recent crypto rally generate insane returns, I can see how new / naive investors might think they're getting in early at $350. Especially when it was all over the news late last week and a giant billboard encouraging people to buy GME in time square just yesterday.

Edit: The timesquare billboard was actually last Friday. And only ran for 1 hour.
This article felt vague and snooty to me personally because it was heavy on the negativity and light on the details.

Only after the article is more than half done, do they mention padding as a specific complaint, and that's it, the only issue in the entire article is padding.

Another article which exists to make the author feel superior? At least if you're gonna rant, make it worth the reader's time with a bunch of specific examples for us to tweak...
Ah, no idea about that one. I am not a specialist or a doctor!
It was always stupid to assume that hedge funds were all in a giant conspiracy with brokers and the media. WSB assumed that hedge funds operate with the same "autistic" (in their words) mindset that WSB does. To WSB, the GME surge was the most important event in their lives. For the hedge funds, it was just another day, albeit a bad one. They don't require you to learn stochastic calculus just so they could fall for the sunk cost fallacy.

Language Development During Interstellar Travel
Pipewire works for "screen" sharing (not window/monitor sharing, screen sharing) and Firefox/Chrome support it. That being said I'd still say "give it more time" before I'd say "screen sharing is solved" at the moment.
According to an article I read recently, the difference between 66% and 90% isn't actually very important when it comes to ending the pandemic.

The 66% vaccines and the 90+% vaccines were about equally as effective at preventing severe COVID cases. More people get it on the 66% vaccine, but their cases were like a mild to medium flu.

Most experts seem to believe that COVID is not going to be one of those viruses like smallpox or polio that we can for all practical purposes eliminate. They believe COVID is going to like cold and flu viruses.

The long term goal then is to get it so that when we do get it, which most of us inevitably will at some point, it is no worse than a mild flu. The 66% vaccines are as good as the 90+% vaccines for that.
Yeah, it’s horrible. I haven’t had to do it. NZ rules here. https://afb.org.nz/

Edit: Some info. You are required to register any apiary (group of hives) and it’s location after a short duration. You are required to inspect it at least once per year and report the results to the agency.

If anyone gets AFB you are required to notify the agency and destroy the hive. A notification is the. sent to beekeepers in the area to warm them to be on alert.

We aim to eradicate AFB, and given that it’s mainly caused by beekeepers putting infected comb and equipment into hives and letting dead hives be robbed, this seems achievable.

Unfortunately we are doing much worse with this plan than we have do to date with covid eradication. It’s lucky all New Zealanders aren’t beekeepers.
Apple's mice have always been form over function (with some rationalized nonsense to try and pretend that it's actually about function). That was directly from Steve Jobs who supposedly mistook an unfinished mock as a mouse with no buttons.

I like the weight of the Max headphones and how they feel premium rather than plastic, I also use them at my desk and don't think they're uncomfortable. The butterfly keyboard, and touchbar are post-jobs failures though, but we're almost done with them.

I guess my point is that there were mistakes during the Jobs era too, people just forget them.

> "Design is how it works, not how it looks."

It's both.
Implying you trust government and police, because they never done anything malicious before...

At least with online sources it's up to you to decide.
Lol so weird and mysterious. If only there was a reasonable answer on that very page..
Oh please. GameStop employees are actually very happy for the bailout their employer got. It's not easy to get any job at these locations where they pay $11/hour (it's certainly not everywhere, lol) and it's not easy to get a job for these workers.
It depends on which echo chamber you look at. Reddit at large has long been libleft. If you read comments from posts that hit front page, you will find overwhelming support for left-leaning policies (exception: Reddit has a distinct pro-gun streak).

You had to go to specific subreddits to see the type of exuberant, memespeak support for Trump. In 2016 that was r/The_Donald. By the time we got to the 2020 election that subreddit and any replacement that got too close to it was banned. But you could still find the same vibe on TheDonald.win, an independently hosted recreation of the subreddit. Or on the chan sites.

The meme culture of The_Donald never constituted the mainstream image or talking points for Trump. it wasn't promoted or even referenced directly by the Trump campaign. But it was a weird world where you never knew exactly how serious people were about their love for Trump -- it was so obviously exaggerated as to look like satire, but the participants were at least somewhat serious: they really did want Trump to win.
The problem is that you need to sell quickly to take advantage of a short squeeze, and the people who bought at $200 could have made a big pile of money last week -- but if they still have those shares today, they will probably never recover their losses. Right now GME is trading at slightly more than $100/share, and while it might spike again tomorrow it will probably continue to decline. The squeeze is over and by now the remaining shorts are hedge funds who sold when the share price was above $300.
That sounds like a rather standard 27" 4K display of which there are several on the market.
Nah sounds like a seasoned architect. The first thing I had to unlearn was that I had any say over my architecture.

Maybe the problem with software architects is that they only exist in bureaucratically hellish companies, and exist as a scapegoat for bad management decisions?

Or maybe I'm just jaded.
Hi! It isn't derived from any other distro; it's built from scratch using its own file system arrangement. The most recent release comes with GoboLinux' own init system, although we have been running some experiments with systemd as well.
There should be some base implementation of wayland (wlroots?), and this sort of thing should happen there.

I just disagree with the whole concept that a desktop environment, window manager, or whatever else has to change because the underlying display server changes. That should be fully transparent. It seems to me that these guys have handed way too much off to the desktop / window manager, washed their hands of it and said 'deal with it'.
Imagine this: Microsoft demands that Nvidia uses WDDM for their drivers. Otherwise DirectX would not work with Nvidia.

Do you thing Nvidia would ignore them, like they ignore Linux?
> An agnostic neither affirms nor denies the existence of God. But atheist affirms with certainty the non-existence of God.

Is that accurate? I thought being atheist just meant you don't believe in a deity.
Imo RH and other trading platforms are the real winners here. Nothing juicier than trading fees and margin-lending fees combined with high trading volume.

The memes are hella great tho.
That doesn't make for as high quality of a discussion if I open with that. But it's certainly a possibility, and if the goal was to entrench an ideology, getting control of the hiring process is probably the best way to do it.
Depends on the product and the competition.

If no other library suffices, then customers will use yours. But they'll hate you. Over time, they might stop using your other contributions, even if they don't have any other choice.

In other words, would better/faster/more easily modified code help? Sure, but let's not overstate its value. We've all used badly designed code before. /s
To be fair, most of AWS's services are also mere users of other AWS services
Those can both be true. It can be incredibly risky to change and also have high risk currently.
