> an entirely different picture of the university system

I disagree. When I was in college ~4 years ago there were diverse discussions in all my classes and students freely contributed what would be considered conservative mainstream opinions without retribution - and when well argued earned some support from their more liberal colleagues.

University means different things to different people. For many it means partying. For others it means the paper certificate you may then use to get a higher paying job. To me the heart of a university is the discussion sections where students pick and prod at their lectures and each other's ideas. Diversity initiatives did not, anecdotally, affect those for me personally.
63% of American's live paycheck to paycheck. I'm not sure what the makeup is of the millions that jumped in on GME. But when the bills come due and if you made a little money are you going to hold all your shares? And of course, then you see it plummeting...
Thanks for the response, definitely excited to see where you take this and the videos you tweeted looked interesting. I'm certainly all for long term projects :)
This is a headphone for listening to music, not for audio mixing. I wish you success with your review site idea, but it would not be one I would personally seek out (saying this as an audio nut myself). There are a few websites that measure more than just the sound signature though - e.g. https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/sony/wh-1000xm4-wi...

As an aside, applying scientific principles doesn't automatically make the review any better. Science works by proposing a hypothesis/model and collecting data to see if the data matches the model. If your hypothesis/model is just average, and not world-class, then the most carefully collected data doesn't hold much weight/value.

For e.g. Minor changes in the sound signature/frequency response are only audible when you listen to the same music across multiple headphones, and that too when you're carefully listening. Also the sound signature can vary when the fit of the headphone changes as per the individual head shape/ear shape/etc. All this is assuming there is enough manufacturing tolerance to produce headphones with identical sound signatures, etc, etc.

Ultimately you'll have to come up with a hypothesis/model that is better than the current one. Which is not to say it can't be done, but its a tall order, but I hope you give it a shot at-least. If nothing else you'll have a cool blog post :)
Not all platforms have a "libc". Linux is an example: there is no standard c library and while glibc is very common, there are several distributions that use other C libraries like uClibc and musl. For example a gaming handheld i have which is running Linux uses uClibc

Another example is Windows, the platform API does not provide a C library (even MSVC has its own). While there is an MSVCRT.DLL it is not recommended to link against it as it is there only because some other software relies on it and its semantics are for around Visual C++ 4 (IIRC).
It is still maybe a little bit true, where some sites will make some things only possible to do on desktop, but when the iPhone came out mobile sites were generally incredibly minimal. They needed to be, to handle existing devices and browsers, which were much less powerful than the iPhone.

Truth Initiative | Software Engineer | Remote Full Time and/or Washington DC whenever we get back to normal | Full Time

Hi all. I'm hiring for a software engineer to join our small, but experienced team at Truth Initiative. You know Truth, we do those anti-tobacco commercials. Turns out we also make software/websites to help people stop smoking/vaping.
We mostly use Python, Django, Postgres, and Heroku. But we do have some legacy systems that use other stuff like AWS and MySQL.

Benefits here are amazing... seriously. Nearly unmatched, especially in the nonprofit space.

Our hiring process is a phone screen, offline code exercise, 3 person group interview, with a code review exercise at the end.

Apply if you're interested!

Roaring Kitty (Deep fing value)'s first video from 6 months ago on $GME answers your questions. It started as legitimate investing with some memes on the side, and then turned in memes with some legitimate investing on the side.
100% agree. Of course the connection is going to be very difficult to prove if it in fact exists, but I also got the same vibes. Large masses of people making an objectively bad decision on the basis of hyped up memes disseminated by grifters and other bad actors.
Why is it that all of the most competent people I've worked with have been humble and empathetic towards failure, while most of the mediocre to not so good people have had harsh attitudes towards others? It makes me sad.
I never read Q stuff, but from watching how this has unfolded on WSB I thought to myself "this sounds exactly like what the Q stuff must be like". That sucks, because I would hate to lose the raw WSB energy to this.

It's not just wayland. For every single thing you can do on linux there exists several hundred different implementations/projects with the same goal of do that thing, and it has led to bad cohesion between system components. Even Microsoft couldn't figure out how to drop Win32 and introduce other safer environments without alienating everyone. How can we expect Linux to survive and become better if we treat everything in it with such a garbage attitude.

Something that could ingest an app's GUI code then render it as some accessible and editable... thing? So that users (and devs?) can easily produce mocks and proposed feature screenshots.

I'm a little confused even after reading the article. What drivers does this refer to? Package delivery drivers? How does one go about tipping said drivers outside of handing them physical money? It's nothing I've ever seen on Amazon.
You're right to call that out. There are one billion fewer people in extreme poverty now than there were then. A bit over 500 million compared to over 1.5 billion, even taking into account the increase in the worlds population. Most of this increase has been in Asia where hundreds of millions of people have risen into the urban middle class. Industrial wages in China have increased almost 10x in the last 2 decades, and industrial employment has ballooned.

The situation in Africa isn't so good, but has substantially improved. Of course the cost of this has been stagnant wage growth and anaemic employment in the developed world, as hundreds of thousands of people in China and South East Asia joined the global labour pool.
I used to have a pair of really nice headphones my audio engineer dad left me. I'd still have them sitting on my desk if not for Hurricane Katrina.
The way I would do it is to parse the blocks sequentially, and ignore the indentation. Maybe you are doing that already?
This is pretty exciting. I have tried to build a native image using GraalVM for Jenkins as mentioned in this article and it was not possible due to Jenkins relying on reflection. Hopefully this helps with resource usage, I always feel a bit of OCD with Java applications tending to require tons of resources and developers being okay with it. Sure, companies have more money to spend and can afford larger instances but it takes away some of the spirit of hobby, DIY, and projects outside of work.

This should also mean that you can build Jython and JRuby static binaries/executables, but it will probably be a large binary.
They probably have, and now are posting trying to convince some other fool to buy and thus make it true so they can sell at $1000. This is called "pump and dump", and it is illegal.
I do believe there exist some well-meaning conservatives who come to be Big City College and are hammered for their views. I think their misfortune is not just to be exposed to the same sort (but opposite polarity) of conformity demands I experienced growing up in a small southern town, but also to be used as political weapons by their supposed allies.
We seem to be arguing two different things. I'm saying diversity is a good goal for our society to aim for, not that it's a good means to get there.

i.e. I'm not saying that selection should be based on skin colour, I'm saying that it's a good long term goal for our institutions (be they fortune 500 companies or universities) to reflect the diversity of our society. There are lots of ways to get there, and american-style racial quotas are definitely not the best way IMHO
Ouch. That's cynical. But, sadly not too far from the truth.

But, what's the alternative? Capitalism without human nature?
> It's not like anyone is saying that diversity is bad

From the start, there are absolutely people out there who argue diversity is bad and that ultimately we should live in some kind of ethnostate. Then there's a whole gradient of people from that end to people who think the government should force integration in pretty much any semi-public setting. There are definitely people out there arguing diversity is bad. I don't agree with these people, but I at least acknowledge these people do exist.

In this spectrum, there are other people who don't have a problem with diversity but only wish for such things to happen more or less organically. Of course there's a view that if the people making hiring decisions are always a particular kind of world view they're going to usually select people they can self-identify with leading to a self-selection bias that restricts the rate of integration in an organization. Enforcing such integration or not, or the level of such forced integration, is absolutely a diverse range of policy viewpoints largely anchored on base political ideologies.

Your own opinion that "hiring someone specifically for this seems a bit silly" is a view you have based on your ideology. Others don't find it silly, which is their view based on their ideology.
Storing Machine Code in REM Statements on the Vic-20
I am honestly not sure what you're trying to say. I simply find the similarities between the two interesting.
I really like the idea of using games to teach command line concepts, like the author did with grep and find. There have been several other ones that have popped up about using vim [1] and navigating a filesystem via cd/ls[2].

I've always wanted to make a unix sandbox environment, using FreeBSD jails provisioned from a webapp, that has little challenges and games to teach the basics of the command line all the way up to hosting a basic HTML website with Apache.

Is this something people would find useful? I've been thinking about implementations but I don't want to jump too far into it without validation that this would be something people would find helpful and interesting.

There is no reason for a display protocol to know about these things. At most it is responsible for giving access to a window’s/screen’s buffer and then any app can do whatever they want with it, eg compress it and stream it (which as I wrote in an other topic is usually better performing than today’s frameworks over whatever remained of X remoting, with bitmap transfers and the like)

Show HN: All-in-one platform to invent, build and grow products

Plenty of people consider ARMv8 a better ISA than RISC-V; the addressing modes seem to be a real concern. Those same people mostly consider MIPS to be too simple for its own good; obviously this simplicity doesn't completely doom the architecture but there are some long-standing differences of opinion here.
Ask HN: What tools are out there to create a personal private newsletter?
I'd like to create a personal newsletter. I'm a bit inspired by the success of Substack and Revue, however, there wouldn't be any type of monetization. Instead, the goal would be to easily gatekeep so that only those I know receive the issues which contain private thoughts.

I'd ideally like to have a landing page where my friends can come and sign up, and once they do I can approve them to receive the newsletter issues.

The goal would be to have a way to share family news as seamlessly as possible without using Facebook.

Is there a tool out there that caters to this kind of idea that you know of? Or would I have to shoehorn my use case into Mailchimp or send emails manually?
I guess they support only Indian companies but global payments, luckily ours was Indian registered.
> Microservices are meant to help giant engineering teams isolate the things different teams work on, but in a startup with only one team you don't have that bureaucratic overhead in your org, so you probably don't need it in your code.

We had these discussions many times on our team. Everyone understands that there are tradeoffs and "pitfalls" associated with any decision. Isn't this just normal rational thinking? Is your assumption that ppl that aren't principals don't consider pitfalls. Do non-principals employees really think that there are no pitfalls to using microservices.
Why should I trust your Keybase proof? Because "they [Zoom now] say so"?

Those seeking to verify identities and personas are free to ignore whatever roots or trust chains they choose. Edge cases aside, the US government (in the case of your example) still holds and projects trust value (not sure how many US passports per day are used to validate citizenship, employment eligibility, and entry requirements at nation state borders, I assume it's quite a bit).

Trust is hard (there are entire industries around it), but the notion that it's impossible should not be entertained. It's a core component of modern civilization.
Alice lends his 1 stock to Bob. Bob sells it to Charlie (but is still on the hook to return it)
Charlie lends his 1 stock to Dave. Dave sells it to Eddie (but is still on the hook to return it).

There is only 1 stock being traded here, but there are two loans (shorts) out on it with obligations to return it.
I guess it depends on the company, right? For a global company I'd expect the top levels to be pretty global too.

The Rule of Economy
I think this is a fantasy. How many decades have there been high-quality headphones for this to be a thing that you think is supposedly the traditional way to do it?

I still have the Koss headphones I bought in the early 1990's. They still work, though they need a 50¢ phono adapter to plug into current gear. Also, I had to send them back to Milwaukee twice to be repaired. But Koss did it for free both times under the "lifetime warranty" program.

Did your parents hand you down their headphones?

Yes.

Surely your grandparents didn't hand down theirs?

No, they didn't. Mostly because headphones weren't invented yet.
Not necessarily. I think the nuclear winder risk for an asymmetrical strike is largely overblown. If a country successfully take the capability of the other to respond, they could see few repercussions.

This drives the need to be able to respond.
> Such large allocations can fail, even if virtual, depending on over commit settings.

Given how Go has no issue being prescriptive as hell on other things, I don't see why they couldn't just go "set vm. overcommit_memory to 1 and fuck off", that's exactly what e.g. Redis tells you.
Stock creation of this form is not entirely unlike the money creation that happens with fractional reserve banking. A short squeeze is crudely analogous to a bank run with that mental model.

(I have no market position on any individual stocks... because I don't consider myself sufficiently well-educated to do it. So take that grain of salt as you see fit).
I think it depends on how much attention the smaller organization gets. I can totally see a CDO being a de-facto requirement for Bay Area startups due to all the pressure from the politics in the area.

It's also possible a small to mid size organization gets into some imbroglio on Twitter and realizes they need a CDO to try and stop the bad PR.

It's corporate mythos. Something that worked for someone long long ago was so successful that it became the corporate form of a folk song.

When we down near the bottom hear "lead by example", it's facile to find the nearly useless obvious veneer to it, but if we could attach the original odyssey that led that engineer to tell their story ... we might agree with the lesson. But retellings upon retellings compress, simplify and gloss the original story into a cliche.

Each thing in this list sounds obvious, but if one can picture the opposite of the advice to be false, that reflection might actually lead an individual to growth.
That 6.3mm / 1/4" plug is 3.5mm + converter (you just pull it apart comes apart into two pieces), at least on 5xx and 6xx range. It's not even screwed on, just a tight friction fit. Unless, that is, Sennheiser decided to cheapen out in the last 10 years and redesigned them...

Never had original 8xx cables to check but I would be surprised if they weren't the same.
Agreed, but my point was they could have made more clear how the line was moving relative to what they were used to. Maybe they did and it's just an issue of resources.
One of the most interesting results here seems to be that the vaccine benefits from a long period between the doses, with the efficacy rising to 76% three months after the first dose, then to 82% after the 2nd dose. This seems to imply the approach of vaccinating as many people as possible with one dose of this vaccine and leaving a long gap to the 2nd one is the right one, as used in the UK.
> GME was wildly overpriced at $100 relative to basically every metric and yet it would have been an incredible buy.

Can confirm.
So the idea is everyone who buys late can sell high and jump off the ship at the same time? Maybe I'm missing something, but if a whole bunch of people offload a stock, wouldn't that drive the price down, meaning a lot of people outside of the original short-sellers would still lose money?

Claiming that you know otherwise is highly indicative you're part of the problem when it comes to diversity of thought in these venues.
