Also, telling a black person that they don’t fit into the organisational culture isn’t racist.

Fitting into an organisations culture is usually about team work, lack of politics, getting on with people, no bitchyness. It’s a way of saying “you might be good at programming, but your behaviour is having a negative effect on everyone around you.

It’s only racist if you say it because the person is black. Saying they didn’t hire you because of organisational fit is usually just a polite way of them saying that they thought you were either arrogant, condescending or an asshole.
I mean, it is said that you are the average of the five people you know best, so this is probably correct.
The ctrl-c for interrupt is a default of terminal, it can be changed with stty. Eg "stty intr ^g" will make the terminal interpret a ctrl-g character as a signal to generate the interrupt signal.

(And Linux the OS doesn't have any opinion on GUI terminal keybindings. You may be tempted to point your finger of blame towards X11 next, but X11 traditionally the text selection is mouse based with implicit copy on select - paste defaults to shift-insert in the bundled X11 terminal emulator.
The shift-ctrl-c charade was created by gnome-terminal I think)
Fifty Very Bad Book Covers for Literary Classics
I switch very regularly and had difficulty until I begun to just swap out keyboards between macOS and Windows. That somehow ties my muscle memory for each OS much better. I pretty much have exclusive keyboards for different OS even if I use VMs on my laptop.

Plus, after much searching, there is not a good non-Apple keyboard for the Mac and the Apple keyboards aren't good for Windows. One example: the right side of of the left ⌘ key should be vertically flush with the right side of the X key. This makes it much more natural to reach for all those ⌘ shortcuts (particularly ⌘ + r and ⌘ + t, and for me I have many ⌥ hotkeys setup with BTT). On most Windows keyboards, Alt is left of Spacebar, and Alt's right side lands vertically on the middle of the X key, not on the right side.

> Mac GNU

There’s no such thing as "Mac GNU", since the userland and outermost kernel interface is of BSD lignage.

Which does a double whammy on the "GNU/Linux" pedantry, since the Linux-based system described above has only a very limited part of it that are actual GNU projects, or even GPL licensed.

That is, unless I’m mistaken and parent uses a system without Xorg, and only lives with bash, glibc, make, GCC, coreutils, and emacs. GNU/Linux is quite an ascetic system these days.
But Alex Jones - Sandy Hook case wasn't censorship (he was free to say what he said), he was sued for defamation. We already have laws on that and all the other stuff you mention child grooming, fraud, false advertisement, doxxing, false testimony, etc.

The point is - we have laws for speech that enters the criminal realm.
I've been flying in and out of Seoul for years from Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, etc and I've never once been offered a flight to Gimpo. Could be an artifact of always flying the same airlines (mostly CX/SQ) though.

Everything in your house runs off and/or generates vastly different DC voltages. Yes, you could get rid of some AC-DC conversions in there, but your various solar panels, batteries, infeeds from the grid, electric car, etc are all going to function at dramatically different DC voltages, such that you’re going to need a ton of DC-DC converters on everything anyway.

On top of that, high-voltage DC is quite a bit more dangerous than AC - it is much better at generating sustained arcs that are very good at catching things on fire.

Please do not automatically jump to assumptions that people who you disagree with are in position of power or never encounter hate. This kind of sweeping generalization is what fuels racism, sexism and other kinds of "identitarianism", it stifles thought and prevents nuanced discussion.
Maybe. Or we’re studying a search space with ever diminishing returns of success in the approach. We may have exhausted the utility that animal testing gives for lots of things due to divergent evolution meaning that very few, and ever decreasing, remaining therapies that work in animal models are extractable to humans. Maybe we need several orders of magnitude better models of how the human body works and chemistry works mathematically (and I know this is being worked on with lots of approaches being investigated). Then you can simulate drugs and skip several levels of expensive drug development. Any startup or community of startups that crack this nut can likely eat the current medical research community.

Or you can go the unethical and often illegal human testing route which is also a more mixed bag of results than would be ideal.
Not as impressive, but there used to be two stations in Seoul's circular subway line 2, named Sinchon and Sincheon, on the opposite corner of Seoul. In older Romanization scheme it was worse: Shinch'on vs. Shinch'ŏn. (I guess it didn't help that they sound almost identical to an untrained English speaker.)

Sadly (for me), they renamed one station, so they aren't confusing any more. Boo.
> What's the ROI on spending time on planning for that, given that you acknowledge that the response will be mess anyway?

Let's put it this way: what's the ROI of failing to address any of the failure modes avoided or mitigated by taking the time to thing things through at design time?

Are you planning on getting paid when you can't deliver value because your service is down?
Indeed the assertion can be construed as part of the label itself. What I'm saying is that just because a person uses a label without additional assertions, there are many blanks filled in by the reader / listener based on their own daily inputs.

So regardless of the HN crowd's restraint when using labels, the labels themselves can carry unintended implications.
Disclaimer: I don't really use Twitter, so my understanding of its mechanics might be wrong.

Isn't "trending on Twitter" a popularity contest? As in something's "trending" because more people (users, as opposed to Twitter the company or their moderators) have chosen to interact with that tweet instead of some other?

I think that "to defend your right to say it", in this context, does mean "to defend your right to be trending on Twitter". What I understand by that is that anyone has a right to not be artificially prevented from trending, such as hiding the tweet from other users (censorship) or "not counting the votes" correctly which won't have a tweet "trend" even though it's the most retweeted / replied to.

As I've said on another comment on this thread, my tweet is my speech, it's not Twitter's. And if the "trending" is the effect of the users' actions, having a tweet become trending is the collective speech of the users, not twitter's.

It's pretty much the same thing with CNN. Having someone on "cnn tonight" is CNN's speech. They choose to have person A instead of person B.

Twitter removing a tweet or otherwise preventing it from trending is like some external entity – e.g. the cable company – preventing CNN from having person C on the show because they don't agree with person C's speech.

In my opinion, in this scenario, CNN is like the Twitter user, not like Twitter the company. Just because they have some third party on the show doesn't make CNN any less of a publisher of speech. Just as if a Twitter user chooses to quote someone instead of someone else (as opposed to twitting an "original thought" or "own opinion").
No, it's not reasonable to offer to start in six months. It's pretty reasonable IMO to offer to start in a month.

This depends very much on the industry and the location. In much of Europe, particularly at senior levels, 3 months notice is the norm and between one thing and another you might start at the new company 4-5 months after accepting the offer.
The minute your platform becomes malevolent, and begins to "work" against your values, will you not regret granting it the power of moderating the social discourse?
It's an irony that the kind of free speech you appear to support (and please correct me if I'm wrong) existed in fascist states like Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, because, as Chomsky points out here[1] "Goebbels was in favour of freedom of speech for views he liked".

I'd suggest you might try the other path, as Chomsky also suggests:

> “If you're in favour of freedom of speech that means you're in favour of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise. Otherwise you're not in favour of freedom of speech.

> There's two positions you can have on freedom of speech, and you can decide which position you want.”

I don't think anyone really expects to convince racists, sexists, homophobic, rapey, violent, narcissist to change their ways. Ignoring them is obviously bad so there's nothing left to do but to try and make sure their, technically legal, but clearly nefarious, behavior doesn't go unnoticed at every opportunity.
I hate to be the guy who goes "this is what's wrong with modern architecture", but... this is what's wrong with modern architecture. These chairs are both uncomfortable and ugly, literally just squares of plywood fastened together in the most simplistic design that could possibly be called a "chair". The only reason anyone pays attention to them is because of the aura of prestige that they accrue from coming from a famous designer. And yes, I'm aware that this is furniture not architecture, but this is in Architectural Digest, and the sensibility that leads to people cooing over these chairs is the same sensibility that leads to architects making ugly, non-functional buildings that everyone hates except other architects.
Its purpose was somewhat historic in that it kills any attempt to invoke their symbolism or terrible power for "legitimacy".

While nearly everyone rightfully recognizes it as terrible some see that as fear and a source of power.
Fascism is a death cult which conflates its ability to commit travesties with strength and vicarious empowerment to its supporters to make crimes against humanity heroic. Stopping the death cults from drawing upon resources for their twisted in-group is a purpose.

The constitution embedded ban means any resurrectionists can be hammered down without any credible slippery slope worries.

It is true that a new set could emerge eventually. However having to neuter their own symbols undermines their twisted claim to strength and makes them look pathetic in the same way the battle of Cable Street undermined their claims of strength - even with their warped doublethink trying to be both mighty victor against overwhelming odds and crying victim after they lost is too much.

Gangs get impressionable recruits by dealing violence to demonstrate power not being seen getting laid out after they try to attack somebody and get decked in the face.
There are two things to consider: your discount factor and how quickly the utils you generate compound compared to your money.

Let's say your discount factor is 3%/year. That means you have no preference between generating 100 utils today or 103 utils next year. If your money compounds more slowly than 3%, it doesn't make sense to save.

Second, the utils you generate probably compound too. Contrary to what many would have you believe, the world is actually getting better at an exponential rate. Since 1981, the conditions of the world's poorest have been getting better and better. It's not totally clear, but it seems plausible that there's an exponential feedback loop involved here. Maybe an extremely poor person in a developing country has $100 of assets, and is able to increase his net worth this year by $5. With that $5, he can get a pen with some chickens or something, which will increase his net worth by $10. With that $10, he can get a radio that will allow him to hear the weather report and better tend his crops, letting him increase his net worth by $15 the next year. If you donated $30 to him, he could jump-start this process and immediately get all these gains and more, instead of having to toil for years for them.

That's a somewhat farscial example, but I think it may resemble reality. Economic growth tends to be exponential, and if you artificially grow the economy by infusing it with cash, that extra boost may compound forever just like the money in your savings account would.

I'm old enough to remember maskless NHL goalies (IIRC, Glenn Hall was the last of the breed). It wasn't pretty. And Terry Sawchuk's mask when he finally started wearing one, with all of the stitches he had gotten, and all of the stitches he would have gotten, painted on. And - remember that the first masks were basically just a fibreglass face covering with nearly zero padding - Jacques Plante spending a significant part of the late '60s and early '70s unconscious on the ice.... again (he stopped a lot of pucks with his face).

Annotation doesn't scale. You are not going to get to real intelligence by labelling billions of data points.

I expect that computer vision for autonomous vehicles will become good enough for practical use quite soon after the AV companies start doing large scale self-supervised learning (I don't like that term). Maybe Tesla and Waymo and others are doing that already.

Another great application area is medical imaging. Progress in this area has been seriously hampered by the limitations of the annotation paradigm. Once people start to do SSL, there should be rapid progress.

Hmmm, I never thought about it that way, I think you're right.
As someone who studied and worked at art school let me assure you, that this is quite normal.

Some people just are better at changing their doing-hat to the editing- or evaluating-hat in a rapid fashion than others. Being (and staying) conscious about this is already 80% of the solution. However the real reality check is always when you have a room full of people look at ghe thing you made.

If it helps, try to make rituals around the reflection part. Be it something simple as putting your hands into your pockets, making a cup of tea or showing it to a friend. Everything that gets you away, everything that makes you explain it to aomeone else etc. will help.
Not yet, but it's a consideration. I just put in two weeks' notice at my job, and after working on some side-projects I do intend to travel a lot, starting with Hawaii.

Doesn't mean it's wrong... The racists on the right know they're racists. They admit it. The racists I've encountered on the left are the racism-of-low-expectations kind with a dash of openly-racist-against-white-people, and then they go and act morally superior to people who aren't racist against any race. The sanctimony is grating.
> The PC and Linux worlds are not going to adopt Mac keyboard layouts.

And that’s a damn shame, because they make much more sense.

> As the one oddball computer manufacturer that uses their own layout, perhaps it's time for Apple to offer PC keyboard layouts as an option on their machines out of consideration for people who have to use multiple platforms.

Lol no. I use Linux, Windows and macOS each about a third of the time (Linux for work, Windows because I have to, and macOS for fun and working from home), the last thing I would want is my Mac at home getting significantly worse just to reach the lowest common denominator. Besides, you can use any PC keyboard already if you really like the window key.

The use of control as the modifier key for keyboard shortcuts is an unfortunate historical accident, not the better way.

I have to use a Mac, a Linux, and a windows laptop. Three different keyboards. Then I have a couple of different external keyboards at the office, a couple at home, and a couple at my partners where I’m spending weekends.
I basically have three modifier keys, A,B,C (that I don’t understand the rational behind - but thanks, I learnt a few things from this thread) that I have to try -in turn - whenever I want to use a shortcut (not exactly a shortcut any more).
There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t want to burn it all down and start from scratch building a new keyboard/OS. Or run vim on the metal and use that as the OS, or switch to voice control, or mind control, or anything!
Gable – The new hybrid workplace marketplace
My question was "extremely repetitive" and a "generic ideological place" to the point that it "damaged the forum"?

I'm a regular HN reader and I never stumbled over any of those apparently very repetive and ideological talks about capitalization. I read global news like the Economist and sometimes Bloomberg/FT and they certainly didn't address this apparently rather new convention anywhere prominent.

Here in Germany, no ethnicity gets capitalized. We capitalize nouns, first words in a sentence and formal pronouns.

I know there's a lot of emotions in the US about race but I have the impression that in this specific case this alertness might stand in the way of genuine and curious conversation, which would be a cornerstone of every just and inclusive society.

I hope the damage you see caused by my question wasn't long lasting and I thought that I got some interesting, contentful and non-repetitive replies.
I am.

In that case just imagine how far you'd go if instead of manually scp to a bunch of servers you instead install a tool like Ansible, add your bunch of linux boxes in a list, write down in a script what you need to scp to those boxes, and from thereon just run the script whenever you need to update them.

But somehow that's too much because it's now ops and no one needs to scp to boxes safely and reliably like that.

Much of the assumptions of the article are the opposite of the titles conclusion.

Racism and hate did not go away. People were much less capable of organizing it and normalizing it's behavior before the internet. You actually had to go vast distances to get people together before. Now, it's a facebook group or 'conservative social media' platform away.

With the dawn of anonymity began the demonstration of human nature when it does not receive local social pressures. A completely new and unique prototype of communications that bypass our evolutionary social ques.

Without identity, pressure from peers, and authority, humans are left with the freedom to choose any way they want to conduct themselves.

Sadly, humans chose to conduct themselves poorly. A result a 2nd grader could also predict. Instead of caring about the truth they care about superiority. Instead of honesty they care about being on a team.

We can censor people. Governments can absolutely create a great firewall where only approved businesses are licensed and given access by ISP's to receive incoming socket connection requests. ISP's prevent this all the time due to multi layer NAT. ISP's can lock down ports and prevent two subscribers from communicating without a server that is explicitly allowed on their IP range to do so.

Certainly, we could. But anonymity has benefits. People can discuss important matters without that social threat. People cannot seek a recourse when they are offended, cannot censor information, etc.

Ghost in the Shell had a very interesting scenario in which people would VR dive into a group chat to discuss controversial events - and it all went mostly professional and fact seeking. This prediction is so far away from what we actually have now - actual fabrication of facts and cults that surround them. People entirely uninterested in reasoning or being reasoned with. Just a room full of people reinforcing each other without any basis in fact.

Also the author disagreeing "hate crimes" being a thing: the reason for hate crimes is that individuals would organize to intimidate the lives of others that belong to specific ethnic groups. People have a right to be free from that, and it's absolutely the purpose of government to uphold that right. Organized crime has always received special laws targeting it to deter it.

I have been very happy with my successive Matias keyboards over the years.
I think you’re making a common mistake, which is to assume there’s some “natural” algorithm that determines which tweets trend, and that human intervention is “unnatural” and unfair.

But on the contrary, Twitter’s trending feature (and indeed all distribution on all public social media networks I’m aware of) is active promotion of speech. Humans at Twitter are deciding which tweets trend, regardless of whether they’re doing so manually or using algorithms (which they designed) to automate the process.

Even a very simple change to a very simple ranking algorithm, like changing the relative value of likes/comments/etc. or the time decay of whatever values are being counted, can significantly change which content gets promoted. These are choices that humans make at Twitter.
Holy hell, the FUD.

YES THEY WILL — I wouldn't even say it's "many" or "some", anymore.

"Most" is just insulting.
