In the East Asian country where my family came from and many of my family still live, and in the neighboring East Asian countries where I've lived for so many years, drawing their own eyes as "slanted lines!" is commonplace. (gasp! look at me! Can everyone see how much this offends me? Oh, the humanity! I'm having the vapors! can all you fashionable westerners whose opinions are actually the only ones that matter to me see how sensitive I am?) East Asians don't have any problem presenting themselves to their own children this way, nor do they shy away from drawing big, exaggerated noses on westerners. Western cartoonists often caricature western noses likewise, which doesn't seem to trigger these sensitive westerners at all. It's almost as if they're not actually bothered by it--just like their East Asian counterparts. It's almost as if their outrage depends less on actual hurt feelings and more on how much of a payoff they calculate they might earn from Those in Charge Whose Opinions Actually Matter.

The answer to why a partition is constant size: you are permanently reserving that amount of disk space, that's what a partition is.

Swapfiles aren't dynamic for the same reason, but, you can have multiple swapfiles, and when they are empty, you can discard them. If you really want dynamic swap, you can run swapfiled, which will monitor memory usage and create and mount swapfiles of a given granularity on demand.

If you're going to hibernate, you need that system RAM sized swap space immediately, and what are you going to do if it fails? Right, you need that to be permanently allocated.

If you have a matlab script that needs 1TB of swap, I don't know why you're running it here. Buy a server with a TB of RAM, or rent one. Swapping a terabyte is one of those edge cases where nobody expects the system to be usable for anything else for hours or days.

> Scrum was created by one of the creators of the agile manifesto

I can't wrap my head around this. The first item of the agile manifesto literally says:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Amusingly enough the Apple Watch reports temperature as 0° and sometimes as -0°, I've not determined what causes that, perhaps rounding around 0?
tl;dr

>>> So while it’s nice that I’m able to host my own email, that’s also the reason why my email isn’t end-to-end encrypted, and probably never will be. By contrast, WhatsApp was able to introduce end-to-end encryption to over a billion users with a single software update.
I am taken but thank you for the laugh :)
Elixir does not distinguish signs in zero, 0.

Therefore; -0.0 + 2.0 = 2.0 and 0.0 + 2.0 = 2.0
In my experience there's two kinds of people who'll say their good drivers and they're both good but with wildly different definitions of "good"

You've got Jose the 35yo MRI service technician who logs 100k/yr for work and has had so much time to get good he can tell exactly what traffic is doing and are highly capable of printing what is about to happen and are preemptively making moves based on that. He knows his insurance company would crucify him if the saw how he flings an overloaded Transit Connect through an on-ramp or parallel parks by braille so if you press the issue he'll tell you he's good at getting where he's going but that the bureaucrats who write the state driver's manual wouldn't like him.

And then you've got Karen the elementary school teacher nearing retirement who logs 10k/yr 5k of which are spent looking at her phone. She has spent a cumulative one hour of her life above the speed limit despite spending much more than that on highways where the traffic flow is well above the speed limit. She follows every rule in the book to the letter, gets honked at daily and once a week she has a story about "some asshole" she got in a conflicting situation with. She doesn't know how far down the gas pedal on her 4Runner goes but oh boy does that brake pedal get a workout when "oh crap almost missed my turn". She swears up and down that she's a good driver because of the seventeen fender benders she's been in she was only at fault in the three that were caught on camera or where witnesses stopped.

Which definition of "good" do you want near you when there's 3" of snow on the road?
No one is saying you need to throw out books, only that certain people decided not to sell them.

This problem is what CRDT's are good for. I'm not sure if Git is the right tool to build this on top off.
The competitive advantages of owning both the application and the data are so high that don't see widespread BYOC ever happening without government intervention.

I'd like to see an enforced separation in law between commercial application providers and storage providers. So, if someone writes an app like Google Docs, they can't just store the data opaquely on their own cloud servers. They legally have to integrate with a separate storage provider. And that storage provider has an obligation to make my data accessible and manageable by me.

This wouldn't be a panacea, but it at least makes it theoretically possible to write a replacement client for Google Docs that could be a drop-in replacement.
We’re constantly refining our processes. It’s like any other part of the business in that it benefits in having a design thinking methodology applied or else it goes stale and fails to keep up with changing dynamics of the business and beyond. For example we decided to do fewer releases against conventional wisdom because we realised our customers were not able to keep up with training and other internal processes they are required to conduct for compliance reasons.
Controlling the language people use under the premise of someone arguably being offended is rarely really about "politeness," though.

Perhaps it's better if we all act like adults capable of understanding nuance in a discussion.
How much further down this path do we have to go before people understand that it's about the principle, not the specific case at hand? It only took two years to go from "it's okay for Big Tech to boot Alex Jones off all their platforms" from "it's okay for Big Tech to decide which books we're allowed to read to our children". How much more power are we going to let these private enterprises accumulate? Where is this leading?

MLK’s philosophy was not color blindness. This is just what people hear if they listen to one line from one speech from his entire career.

He also explicitly stated that programs that specifically benefited black people and only black people as a mechanism to address prior injustice would be justified.

> When [the three of us, along with many others] created the Agile Manifesto in 2001, Kent Beck reiterated his vision to heal the divide between business and development. Kent created the website, and we were stunned when thousands upon thousands people signed this website. So we decided to form an organization – the Agile Alliance. I was the first chairman of this organization. The next chairman was Ken Schwaber. He decided he wanted to do something else. He wanted to make the alliance a revenue making machine…

> Ken came to me some time later, telling me he was going to make a class called Certified Scrum Master Class. I thought it was a dumb idea. But a dumb idea that works is not a dumb idea. People came and liked it. The more he charged, the more people came. He started giving out certificates, and he made a little organization off to the side – the Scrum Alliance. Lovely thing to happen.
Exactly, I just noticed that the line of what's right and what's wrong is pretty fluid on Twitter. See some people get called out even just for eating food which isn't from their culture. Or a girl wearing an oriental dress to prom while being white. Just all things which seem to be Pro-[Insert Culture].

I'd rather have people eat food, wear clothes and hairstyles from other cultures instead of saying "I hate X-Cultures-food and/or clothing."

As you said, there are of course things which should be considered bad. You mentioned native american headdresses, which I think is a good example. But dreadlocks, cornrows? Come on....

You’re moving goalposts now. Just earlier you wrote that you couldn’t write a library in C because C does not support objects, not that you couldn’t write a nice library (for whatever definition of “nice” you want to use, which will be different from someone else’s).

In fact there are several libraries for string-like objects; the main barrier to use them is that none of them is standard. You can at least acknowledge that before talking about nice-ness, which is a whole other point.
Wow, thanks a lot! That's such a nice compliment.

And thanks for your suggestions as well. Currently working on migrating to Flutter 2 and will look into it after that. :)
NYT/WaPo/Guardian etc by their outdated colonial mindset, are literally handing juicy materials to Indian right on a platter. India's right is more socialist than western left, and they're increasingly using the colonial biases of western media to their advantage. Indian liberals are fumbling with their responses as they've lost patronage with the loss of INC and their traditional Bhadrolok attitude.

In my experience this role is referred to as a TLM, a tech lead/manager.
I trust someone from the HN community will get started working on some of these :)
But isn't that shown by the fact it takes training longer to converge in their experiments with random labels vs real labels?
I see what you are saying and I would like to point out a distinction if I may about chinese vs indian approaches regarding external criticism (with my limited understanding of India as a country of course).

You may see from the press that China has largely turned a blind eye to western criticism but in reality in all aspects of societal building we are adopting / importing more and more strategies from the west on a daily basis. I'm surprised when I talked to my childhood friends (some of whom are deep in administrative roles or important civil servants) their management is rapidly learning from the west (probably without them realising), may it be government bodies or private companies. The policies (at least on the paper) are getting closer and closer to what I can observe here in Europe. When I grew up in the 90s it was simply chaotic.

Secondly, what I consider a major difference is that India has the ability to converse well with west whereas chinese diplomats / communication points are extremely poor and belong in an era with standards so lagging behind of modern times. Small proportion of people do read english but not to a point (especially the elites) to comprehend and incorporate western opinions well into a meaningful dialogue. All other asian countries are light years ahead of us.

I'm not saying however who is better and not, all the symptoms maybe similar but there could be more nuances for a better understanding of the complex and yet inflaming situations.

Keep in mind that a big part of working with a VCS is refining your code until it is done or ready to be merged. Syncing on every keystroke would drown others in noise and I'm usually not interested to see my colleagues' unpolished work-in-progress code.
Greensill Fall Brings Sub-Prime Echoes to Small-Town Germany
That's a great point. And here is a real example that happened recently at work. One of my teams needs to create the ability for their low-level code to be able to respond to HTTP requests for command and control. So they have all immediately started trying to figure out how to do this. Except I happen to know that another of my teams already did this exact same thing in another project, packaged it up and published it...and the source code is already sitting there on github waiting to be re-used. There is zero overlap between the two teams (two totally different departments) except for me, so in this case I (as a lowly engineering manager whose coding days are long behind me) am able to solve a problem and save time/wasted effort Now, if we didn't do dailies, of course this would come up at some point but we'd have lost a week of productivity or more.
I definitely wanted to read it because of the "rebellious, banned book too dangerous for people to read" aura, and to get a bit of insight.
Not trying to be too kind to him, but I assume A.H. was in some ways smart, so I wanted to get a glimpse of this side. But if it's just plain racism and antisemitism I guess I can skip it or read a summarization.
We had standardisation at the protocol level for the internet which let us build services on top, but now we're looking for the same at the app level. HTTP was meant for web pages, we never created anything for Apps and Services. What that new standard is going to look like, I have no idea, gRPC does well to define the APIs and so we use it across dozens of services here https://github.com/micro/services. Curious to hear what others think will happen.
Unless we're looking at different tweets, the person to tried to warp it into a social issue completely missed the sarcasm.

Energy on the earth isn’t limited. There is tremendous energy entering and leaving our sphere at all times. There are forms of energy stored in ways that we don’t understand how to harvest and distribute, yet lay latent. You could theorize that the total energy in the universe is fixed, yet incomprehensible vast and largely inaccessible.

You are correct that the about of energy available for human consumption is finite in a given moment in time. Every choice for how energy is distributed collapses other possibilities. Yet, the ability of humans to capture and direct energy ever grows with the passage of time.

Up until about 3-4 generations ago, our species depended on beating other creatures to move us around, and burning trees for warmth. Now the same planet with the same or less resources is able to provide ~250 times more usable energy.

I don't think it is disrespectful to suggest someone is falling victim to the XY problem.

Actually I think it is a common and expected outcome that when investigating a new problem, we often get stuck in "XY problem" traps while researching the solution.

I very much value any feedback that suggests I should rethink the entire problem with a simpler model, because without experience it's hard to know what the simplest models are.
Best feature of SmartWindows- Reopen MS Files to last save position in 1click
The point is to taint Dr Seuss so that he's no longer acceptable as a common cultural reference point, so that ideologues can shoehorn in their own propaganda to children at the youngest possible age. Listen to the latest episode of the New Discoures podcast if you want a full explanation.
Not only does SmartWindows save and restore the application positions but it also remembers and opens up the files. All your favorite applications such as Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Project, Notepad and Wordpad are supported.

You can also restore your workstation settings and browser tabs URLs anytime with smartwindows. Free version is available to download.
Some functions are missing which would normally cause a warning with most linters and static security analysis tools (e.g. the atoX family, mktemp, etc ...). Problem is most people I know don't run external linters (maintaining good linting rules is hard to scale in larger projects and in my >3 decades of writing C only few companies[0] I've seen managed the linting rules as part as their "definition of done").

While I think such rules are a good idea it only makes sense if it is done consistently and depends on how religiously the tooling (duct-tape and "process") enforces them (even so, you're still only one `#ifdef` away from undoing that "safety"). Having GCC[1] now support static analysis is a killer feature for this type of problem.

On the other end of the spectrum we have Huawei which instead of linting their code is finding creative ways to trick auditing tools and hide such warnings from auditors:

In a way, it's absolutely hilarious. The fact that people were so outraged by this (which was a bait attempt at a meme a rational person could see a mile away) shows they're willing to be controlled by the very people they hate.
the problem exists too in the US due to large amounts of venture capital lying around. Ask yourself why many startups run on K8's yet they don't have the SRE requirements google has. Too much resume padding.

Good luck, if you're a engineer trying to make things work without too much ceremony. everything is about chasing the latest and the greatest, whether it makes sense for the problem at hand or not.
What I wanted to highlight is that China doesn't cower over criticisms of it due to west. No one from CCP loses sleep over some "democracy report" or an editorial in NYT. China does what it pleases and due to it's power, all the countries bow to it's economic might. With the rise of India, I'm sure we'll see such pattern.

One major difference is that Indian right uses the criticism from western media to it's advantage, and helps bolster it's position in the game of West vs East.
Computers (obviously) have to approximate the majority of actual mathematical numbers, as they do not have infinite storage.

If you've got two numbers, +0.0000001 and -0.0000001, but you can't represent that precision, can you see how it's less bad to round to +0.0000 and -0.0000 rather than to just 0.0000? It's encoding strictly more information.
>"these academics, and people animated by the ideas they expound, have gotten power and are using it to implement their ideas, which is eroding fundamental principles of liberalism (like tolerance of dissent) and this seems really terrible".

This seems so ironic to me. Liberals, then, out of all people, should at least tolerate the dissent of people who don't agree with it. Further, in the interest of argumentation and creating a better society (in whatever metric that may be), we should listen to the arguments and criticisms against liberalism. That's not 'really terrible' by any stretch. If your ideology can't stand up to such criticism, it's likely deficient in some way.

We've rejected fundamental principles of societies in the past, whether slave societies or patriarchal societies or theocratic societies. The mere fact of rejecting a fundamental principle with reasoned argument is not a negative, it can be a great positive.

To the contrary. The context here is the same, as I explained in my original comment. The connection between the literal and metaphorical use of the word here is too close, which is what makes it rude and offensive.

This is different than using the word “master” to describe the trunk branch of a repository, because when we are talking about a “master branch” it is not in the context of a discussion of offensive racial caricatures being removed from eBay’s website.
I don't understand what you think a result could look like here that does distinguish the sign? What are you expecting? -2.0? That doesn't make any sense. 2.0 is the correct answer under all circumstances as far as I can see.

This is why you should support New Hampshire's bill HB 544, currently working its way through the NH legislature, and support similar bills that are nascent in other states (off the top of my head: Oklahoma, Iowa, West Virginia, maybe some others I've missed) and, if you're not in those states, contact your elected representatives and push for a similar bill.

The only way this poison is going to be defeated is through the law. In fact, the journalist Chris Rufo argues that much of what's pushed by the CRT activists is likely already illegal under the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act. This needs to be affirmed in the courts.

This is not _entirely_ true, not that it changes anything significant about the predatory nature of f2p developers.

Apparently (inferring from what e.g. Mihoyo says and does about "total lifetime income") a whale that spends a bit less at once, but keeps doing this for years is far more valuable than one that blasts through the game and burns out immediately. You also need some dolphins and free-to-play people, both to fill out the multiplayer lobbies and appear less predatory.
