The news media in my country (not AU) has become more and more tabloid like, with click bait and all sorts of lowest common denominator articles, even commissioning articles directly from the dailymail.

News media has been for the last 10 years a race to the bottom of low quality, opinion pieces, copy paste jobs from reddit and twitter, and now they're reaping the costs of their bias, and laziness, and partisan ship.

Stuff like this to me reeks of an industry failing to adapt to the internet age, doing all the wrong things, and now they want to use the law, to get more money because they think they deserve more?

The problem is these massive entities who had prime time spots on TV, radio are being obsoleted by YouTube and Netflix, Spotify, Podcasts, and blogging platforms on a 10th of the budget, Why would I go to a news site to get informed about a new policy or something a politician said when I can just go direct to the source and remove all the editorial garbage, and opinions, and that bloody awful style of interview where every question is loaded and the interviewee never has time to properly explain themselves.
> I tend to find that no matter what language I choose, there's some parts of the code that I would prefer to be able to write in a different language.

There is no final nirvana language. That is the awful truth of existence.
My opinion is that I greatly prefer generics to either.
I've not found a free "RSS viewer" with great UI and a decent feature-set. Albeit I've not search a long time but everything I've seen has been off putting. I'd love to use RSS more.
I guess all the decent ones are behind paywalls, I may have to consider them after all. Any suggestions is appreciated.
How many times are they going to repeat the search phrases like "one billion lines"? It's reached the point where SEO obstructs human readability. It was cool that Object Pascal (maybe a descendant of Turbo Pascal) compiled 1e9 lines of Pascal in 5 minutes on the 64 core box. Scrolling way through the article, it looks like they had enough trouble setting up their parallel Windows C++ build environment on 64 cores that they ended up running 4 instances on 16 cores each, and splitting the source files among the instances. The build then took about 15 minutes on 64 cores, which is faster than I'd have expected.

This all seems kind of pointless since distributed C++ compilation has been a thing for decades, so they could have used a cluster of Ryzens instead of "zowie look at our huge expensive single box".
> Consistent top 4 and a Champion's League place

Consistent top 4 and a Champion's League place with a shoestring budget while City and Chelsea were spending like crazy is nothing to laugh at. You're ignoring the context and diminishing his achievement. Just look what happened to Arsenal after he left. He definitely is a legend, albeit not Fergie. But then who can come close Fergie.
Yeah, I would say this title is a little misleading. The example doesn't use any of the C++ features that cause long compile times, like templates and the STL.
I see it as a broader problem of how scandalizing a problem plays out. Whenever a scandalous problem occurs, everybody is going to be interested in exploiting it to suit their own agenda. People are going to be heaping accountability onto their adversaries, which is how you end up with the bureaucratic tyranny of accountability avoidance taking priority over problem solving. You're also going to have everybody shouting about how the occurrence of the scandal necessitates the prioritization of their agenda items, how the urgency of the problem means reasonable analysis is not necessary, and how other priorities that may conflict with their agenda items can now simply be ignored.

You can see this happen at all levels of society. I'm sure most of us would have seen a pattern like this unfold at work. But the media especially loves it wrt public interest scandals, because they're such solid revenue generators for them.

Hmmm, probably not. The book doesn't really go much into drawing 2D shapes - just the minimum necessary to be able to draw filled triangles, at which point it jumps into 3D stuff.
To be absolutely clear: what Homebrew is doing here is consistent with what every other system package manager does. If you've ever done `do-release-upgrade` to bump your Ubuntu LTS, you'll have run into the exact same problem.

The only difference is that Homebrew doesn't have a stable system distribution to pin to (we're not Apple, and we have no say over macOS's development), so we make upgrade decisions for packages like Python based on their stability with our packaged ecosystem. It's a poor practice to use your system Python distribution for any sort of virtualized development environment, and Homebrew behaves identically to every other system package manager in that regard.

There are hundreds of clinical trials and it’s used today in clinical practice, most commonly in oncology but more and more in other fields. Very interesting work in polygenic risk prediction models in many kinds of chronic disease, where risk models can refine treatment strategies. It’s very real; one of the big problems so far has been reimbursement and commercialization.

The other thing you have to realize is that because of the regulatory burden, it takes a while for these tools to make it into practice. Many of the successful genetic tests today were approved 20 years ago. Look up Oncotype Dx which is used in a huge % of breast cancer surgery, for example. WGS and WES will undoubtedly be far superior but it takes a while to get these things into practice.

Feedbro for Firefox.
Well perhaps if we talked about browser perspective?

Chrome - we own the world so use our browser with its proprietary extensions and only works completely if you hand over a Google account.

Firefox - we try to follow standards and be good to users as long as we don't piss off the people who are paying our salaries too much.

Edge - So much faster and better than Chrome all you need to do is let us know all about you and what your doing and use our services that give us more 'stickyness' over your use of our browser.

Safari - Oh hey, we need a web browser so uh, here is a web browser.

Brave - Crypto currency is the best, oh here's a browser.

Chromium/Konquerer/etc/etc - Opensource is the best! Only we don't do what all the other browsers do, and half the time you'll find the web page is rendering weird but you can fix the code and send us a PR and we'll look at it and contemplate it.

Sure that is a cynical view, just trying to share what it feels like that to me.
And having set up circles, there is also some unspoken stress in making sure you don’t inadvertently “overshare” a post to a broader circle than you intended.

The Mueller report was released in 2019, 3 years after the election. Perhaps 4 years was incorrect of me to state.

If your last question is in earnest...I guess nowhere in particular and yet everywhere. I don't particularly like any of the news media companies, as I find they all have a blatant bias.

SumUp | Software Engineer | ONSITE, REMOTE (Boulder, CO)

SumUp is a fintech company focused on empowering small businesses. We're primarily focused on enabling merchants to accept payments, and we build a number of tools including POS devices (similar to Square). As a company we've primarily operated in European markets and Brazil, but we're hiring in the US to build out our Global Expansion team which will be responsible for establishing new markets including the United States.

We're hiring for a bunch of positions and use tools like Elixir, Ruby, Golang, (among others) to work on a myriad of technical projects related to establishing new markets.

We're especially interested in engineers who have experience with hardware certification and payments infrastructure, and those who have experience working on open source projects.

Send me an email at austin.tindle@sumup.com and mention hackernews if you're interested.
We use GitLab. It has CI/CD integrated. It also has container registry[0] and package registry[1], so you can have your Docker images and packages for npm, Go, PyPI, etc.

You can also build images in your pipeline with Kaniko[2], and there are some useful things like pages, either private or public, for your different repositories. Here's an example docs https://big-mama-tech.gitlab.io/bmc/

It does secrets managements, deployment tokens, etc. You have everything in one place, and you can also integrate it with your Kubernetes cluster, say with Google Cloud Platform, for example.

All the best, this sucks. On a slightly related note, we are building our machine learning platform and one thing we're working on right now is to get everything out of it: meaning the notebook servers you spawn will be on your own cluster that you give authorization for, the data will be on the cloud provider of your choice or your cluster, the experiment notebooks will be there, the long-running jobs will be on your cluster, the models, the model images, the deployed moels, pretty much everything, precisely to avoid that kind of scenarios where a service shuts down and then users are left to scramble to exfiltrate their work and output that span many years from that service, looking for ways to do it and "Download as a ZIP file" crap. If the service ever shuts down, everything should be on the user's existing infrastructure. We have the plumbing set, and we're working to provide porcelain for this to users. One guideline for us is to be able to die without users being impacted [which is also a guideline for me, being able to die without the team being impacted]. So we're giving a lot of thought to this because it sucks when it happens.

Nothing makes me lose faith in democracy faster than when eligible voters uncritically defend government as better than "corporates" because who else should we trust? This only reminds me that democracy isn't about trusting the government, it's about holding the government to account and refusing to give them unearned trust when they do stupid shit like this.

It is so annoying to see that HN and general media have collectively decided that Google and everything it does is evil, but honestly you have no idea how good you have it right now. Google is not abusing your user data like you are made to think.

If you talk to a Google engineer, you would realise the countlesss number of measures they take to safeguard user's data - human access is next to impossible. Only machines roles are allowed to request for decryption keys and each access is logged and audited. And even the data a machine gets to see is annonymized and only aggregated analysis is usually allowed which is also required to be approved by dedicated Legal and Security teams.

Having worked at a start-up I know how much these smaller companies care about privacy - trust me you are way better with your data lying in Google servers than one of these random small companies claiming to 'protect your privacy'. I would rather trust the brilliant minds at Google to safeguard my data any day.

I was wondering recently about how you might solve shuffling with constraints - no two cards of the same suit next to each other, 3s at least 4 spaces apart, etc. My first thought was you'd just maintain a set of valid candidates for the next random card, with backtracking if you get stuck, but there must be better ways.

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting your reference to "commentors", but it looks to me like an insinuation of the sort that the HN guidelines ask people not to post:

"Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data."

Both sides are idiots about fashion:

The right: Obama's tan suit. (I actually don't know much about this, can't be bothered to investigate as I'm sure it was dumb)

The left: Melania Trump's "I don't care, do u?" coat was OBVIOUSLY a secret message saying she doesn't care about migrant children (edit: this is sarcasm: she wore it to say she doesn't care about the media's articles about her, but the media went nuts and said she was saying she hates children, thus proving her point). I could also find articles about Donald Trump sticking his tie to his shirt or something dumb. God what a waste of brain space.

The most famous ballot prop ever struck down was Prop 187, passed (overwhelmingly) in 1994 and struck down as unconstitutional.
It’s not that I think they could, for what it’s worth. I’ve fought with my lefty friends to stop having completely unrealistic expectations, or at least to be more pragmatic about the way they evaluate outcomes.

But what I think they could do more effectively is:

0. Recognize the disposition of their opponents (they’re belligerent and you should start there).

1. Try more, it’s not a nobody-gets-hurt game. We put you in power to wield it!

2. Focus more on goals than appearances. Nobody really cares if you look belligerent too. They just say they do. Your focus groups are lying as much as the opponents’ focus groups.

3. Set a better example by ruthlessly policing your own more aggressively. Don’t give anyone the opportunity to say you’re hypocritical.

4. Be willing to lose. It’s hard when you’re disadvantaged in most ways. But don’t play the hard game with all your betting money! Play the harder game with some of it. People are looking for you to be sincere, not just blab values and go fold every hand at the big kids’ table. Sorry for the extended gambling metaphor but it’s what I’d advise.
The divide is not going to be fixed without disrupting the connection between outrage and political donations. Until that is addressed there is massive financial incentive in making people as angry as possible and it will continue to get worse.
The difference is Moses has a compelling story with an interesting clash between his public persona and private demeanor. Zuckerberg, while certainly a good biography subject, doesn't have the same idealist turned corrupt by power story.

Great article but for the love of god don't use Passmark. They are extremely bad on AMD scores. Now this is luckily two CPU's from AMD so it isn't bad but it is a bad comparison site as they heavily favour Intel.
"Second, we can engage with leaders and the media who may be exacerbating Americans’ misperceptions of each other."

Can we? Right now the fundamental model of media AND political parties is fueled by hyper-partisanship, outrage, us-vs-them, and how all of these things combine to solicit eyeballs and keep them on us and not them. Sean Hannity or one of the other talking heads at Fox (can't remember which) literally has or at least had a nightly segment on how all other media is lying to you or not covering what Fox covers, and thus they're bad so stick with us. It's like a meta-advertisement couched as opinionews.

These things _work_ to accomplish the goals (eyeballs on us), even if they're destroying the country in the process. So how is a conversation going to change any of that?
So we've realised that our solution doesn't really validate the idea, it's just slightly better than using emails.

What's to prevent chrome from being financed by google the search engine the same way Firefox is financed by Google the search engine?
I think "hold the first accountable" is the wrong focus to have here, especially since so much of what the Republicans do violates norms rather than actual rules. I think it would be better to see the Democrats adopt their tactics, i.e. using every available mechanism to oppose everything they do as forcefully as possible, as opposed to meekly waiting for good faith from the other side which will never be forthcoming.

The other thing with "holding accountable" is that it can backfire. Imagine a second Trump impeachment passing. It would be perfect for the Republicans. They would have a solution to the problem of his potential reelection bid (which they would like to avoid), while simultaneously he would be a martyr as well as a symbol of what "cancel culture" / "leftist authoritarians" took away from you, the patriots.
What can actually be done against a dictator like Xi Jinping who has absolute power besides using military force? He doesn't care at all about the bad reputation or sanctions or anything else like that.
Until you look how each side tends to react when the most extreme elements of their party do something crazy and outlandish. One tends to immediately hold individuals accountable for their crazy actions, the other tends to give them a promotion, unless they think it will hurt their agenda more than help it.

Edit: To be clear, by "crazy and outlandish" I mean violent, oppressive, hostile. Not has a "crazy" idea about where tax dollars should be spent.
I'd expect them to be close. In a two party system, the parties will coalesce around similar policies. The electorate will always have variance along the first principal component (which probably corresponds to community prosperity vs individual comfort), and the parties will project in opposite directions, but nevertheless staying close to the centre.
And you can clearly see the difference:

- Obama wore some clothes that people got upset about because it didn’t look great on him.

- Melania wore a coat declaring she doesn’t care about how thousands of children are treated.
