why would I be angry with downvotes? They dont mean anything to me. In the meantime, I just created another repo with branch called... master.
It was helpful, you saw that what you wrote was technically VERY incorrect and without any proof.
We all know exactly the kind of people driving this change. We've worked with them. We know how they function on teams and in the office. We know they aren't particularly good at what they do, barring a few exceptions. And we know what they will do to us, to our jobs, and to our companies if we don't bow to their demands.

I have no idea what you are referring to here.
This is correct. On paper he identifies as anarcho-sindicalist. But in mainstream terms "libertarian socialist" would be easier to understand.

On the other hand, Chomsky supported many socialist and even marxist leaders. Like Chavez nationalizing every profitable sector of the economy. Note this is very not anarchist as it concentrates power in the state and a rulin elite. Perhaps he was blinded by his anti-war and anti Western establishment feelings. Who knows.
well, I want to play a movie I've paid for without anyone destroying my hardware (!) (which effectively is what the AACS-key update mechanism is) nor spying on me (commercial players with regular internet connectivity). I don't think this is particularly righteous, I just don't think corporations have the right to strip me of my rights because they think I'm a pirate.
They had one such grant, many years ago.
Assuming a repo has not changed a default is kinda broken either way, so if this leads to more fixed software... (had quite a few annoying moments with repos that didn't use master as the main branch for whatever reason (e.g. having "develop" and release-specific branches)) and tools that insisted that had to be what I wanted)
> Of course Microsoft also had COM, which is/was a stable OO ABI accessible to many languages including C++ and was arguably just a subset of the C++ ABI without templates.

Why the past tense, when COM is the main way Windows APIs have been introduced since Windows Vista, as COM took over Longhorn OO ABI ideas?

Nowadays we just call it WinRT.
You are probably thinking about Ireland. Antonia Fraser's biography covers this in detail. Many things that happened under Cromwell's command were standard practice in siege warfare at the time. Of course, by modern standards it's atrocious, but that tells us more about the 17th century than about his personality. He also believed, rightly or wrongly, that he was responding to Irish atrocities against English settlers.
Pandas supports JOIN and GROUP BY operators so you are saying that there is a gap between Apache Arrow and other mature dataframe libraries? If there is a gap, is there no plan to fix it in the standard Arrow API?

I understand the case for a SQL-like DSL and an optimizer for distributed queries (in-memory column stores, not so much). I'm trying to understand the value add of Polars. I don't mean to come across as critical; perhaps DataFusion is a poor implementation and you are being too polite to say so.

I also think that there is a C++/Arrow vs Rust/Arrow decision that has to be made. I associate PyArrow with the C++/Arrow library. Is Polars' Eager API a superset of the PyArrow API with the addition of JOIN/GROUPBY/other operators?
It has a second chip (AXP202) that is responsible for battery /power and has the button directly wired to it. That's why I believe deep sleep should be possible. If it needs to reboot instead, fine I can accept a ~second delay. But again, the supplied firmware boots 5 seconds and I've no idea why and how to rectify it.
Shouldn't the real name of this software be "signal" anyway ?

> especially the poorest that makes the mistake of saving cash

Perhaps a bit off topic, but: do the majority of the people who are not considered part of the "poorest" ones do put their savings in stocks, properties and the like?

The majority of people I know in their 20s, 30s with a decent income per month (I admit, mostly software engineers) don't do other thing than put cash in their regular bank accounts. No stocks, no properties. If any, they have a "savings account" that offer like 0.001% interests. This is in Western Europe.
True. Either that or they messed up their famous people on bills. ¥1000 crab sounds suspicious indeed.
Adoption of more inclusive terms is hardly "hysteria".

This IETF memo^1 makes a rational, compelling case for adopting alternate terms.

I encourage you to read it, and try taking a broader, more empathetic view. Pause to consider the weight and connotations of certain words for certain groups of people, before claiming victimhood or accusing others of hysteria.

Characterizing the change as "PC Politburo" word-policing strikes me as a shallow, knee-jerk response to a positive change. Fewer characters, less baggage, clearer semantics. What's the harm?

Many of those self proclaimed Postmodernists have Che Guevara t-shirts and portraits of Mao, unironically. What they say does not match what they actually support and do.
Great. Let's make minimum wage automatically adjust to inflation, force businesses to provide CoL increases, and provide a tax credit for the poor against savings loss.

In my experience, the libertarian community that hates inflation so much uses the poor as a rhetorical cudgel rather than an actual primary concern.
That's fair, but how about Napoleon? He was viewed as a monster at the time, for starting needless wars that killed (only) tens of thousands. Later on people took a more balanced view. So, Hitler's reputation should not be rehabilitated, but that doesn't mean nobody should be rehabilitated.
Thanks, was about to claw my hair out.

Every time I have a discussion about crypto on HN I want to go buy lots of crypto because there are clearly still some smart people that really don't get it, to the point of seeming deliberately obtuse.
What the parent is saying is pretty plain. If <social media company> is moderating content then they should be liable for it. If they're not liable for it then they shouldn't be moderating it.

I understand that point of view but honestly it won't work for the simple reason that no one - not the providers and not the users - wants it to work that way. I firmly believe that if you try and setup the legal framework to get that configuration people will create technical work around after technical workaround until they get back to the status quo.

It will be like nothing so much as the way SPAC's are used today. Whatever else they are they're a way to do an IPO as it was done before SOX. It's a technical end run of a law no one likes.
What bothers me more is that people on this forum, which is most likely over-represented by the broad autism phenotype, and so quick to 'other' autism. Might not even have dawned on them that they might be talking a little about themselves.
So, is "compsciphd" your family name or your given name? Have you really stopped to think these things through? You and every single other person posting here, on Hacker News, with pseudonyms including one time throwaway accounts, HN a "platform providing anonymous speech", do understand that 230 makes this place possible right? Right? Are you suggesting dang and co should not be allowed to moderate ever again without Y Combinator becoming legally liable for every random thing here? That we should all have to hand over government ID to post here?

This is fucking nuts. The good answer is for people to stop giving so much credence to anonymous speech without thorough analysis, or at most to have a more streamlined process to get it taken down if it's not defended.

Allan Hills 84001
A normal household has to pay rent or make mortgage payments. To arbitrarily exclude the biggest expense to consumers from CPI is pretty misleading.

When you create new money prices don't rise evenly. At the moment we have new money being created by central banks and given to privileged institutions who get access to free money. They use that to buy investments: real estate, stocks, etc. These are precisely the things getting really expensive. The last things to get more expensive during big cycles of inflation are employee wages.

The world used gold/silver for its currency for most of human history until 1970 when we entered this period of worldwide fiat currencies. Our current situation is pretty remarkable.

The whole argument for printing money being OK is dumb. If it's OK to print money to pay for some things why are you not doing it more? Why not make everyone a millionaire?

I think that another deception is that we should ordinarily be experiencing price deflation. Every day our society is getting more efficient at making things. If prices for goods are staying the same then it may not be that their value has not changed, they may be less valuable goods, but they cost the same because you're also buying them with less valuable currency.

If you have gone through years of moving everything to China to make it cheaper to manufacture, improved technology to make processes more efficient, etc. and I'm still paying the same amount for all of the stuff in my life, then again, maybe all these things are cheaper, but I'm also buying them with currency that's less valuable.

Ultimately, printing money doesn't make anyone more productive or produce anything. All it does is redistribute wealth from those that were first to get the new free money away from those that were last to contact it.
This will necessarily cause some people to hijack the reference branch by creating one branch called "master" and this branch may be used upstream (e.g. Debian builds) to create packages without approval from the main maintainer (who is committing in "main").
Indeed, I was planning on updating my graphics card this year. Looks now like it'll happen maybe in 2022.
If this was 20 years ago, when I was kind of starting with Linux, I would love it: lots of possibilities and customisation.

But the truth is that I don't have time for all that in 2021. When XFCE supports Wayland and I get a good experience out the box, I may stop using X11.
That would make it harder for Apple to apply their double standards at will. Tech companies like it when the most specific they have to get is "you violated the guidelines".
It the factor in my decision for programming / scientific books: I have a PhD, am interested in many disparate things and therefore need to find texts at the right level for my current amount of understanding in the topic. This is surprisingly hard. Flicking through the pages is the best way to do it.

I've never bought an e-Book with DRM. I never will. Occasionally I've downloaded PDFs of books I have the dead-tree version of but want to be able to search through. Most publishers really are terrible at moving into the 21st century. Online e-library lending restrictions are a gigantic pain in the arse, are massively over-engineered, and pointlessly exist to restrict information from those who are best placed to understand it.
I’m worried about wokeness but I switched to “main” because I took the cue from Linus and because I figured the cost was (almost) zero and if it marginally improved the happiness of a potential future employee it was easier to do now.

In hindsight I agree, it feels like a better choice anyway - quicker to type and it makes sense. Win win.

That said my concern is that the “cost was zero” - one of the biggest problems with wokeness is it serves to distract from productive actions rather than sanctimony / tokenism / virtue signalling. Perhaps a symptom of twitter syndrome: virtual likes (easy, simple, shallow) vs real change (hard, messy, compromising).

When I start discussing the latest woke language debate, I remember that this pontification is exactly my objection, and that I’d be better off thinking about how I can help people who are poor or homeless or unable to access good schooling, rather than endlessly debating which words to use. There certainly is an opportunity cost, mostly on the political left as it neglects vital issues such as financial inequality, education, health, and deteriorating infrastructure.

Perhaps the best thing I could start with is to quit twitter to rid myself of the distraction? I don’t know. Anyone managed to work out how to navigate this?
Could you elaborate on what "discoverability" means to you, because don't see any reason in this explanation why an IDE would not be able do autocomplete on `a.f(b, c)`, with automatic documentation on top, which is all that is needed for discoverability in my book.

(also, to be clear, I'm not the one who downvoted you)
I did some graduate studies with Eldad Haber in the early 2010s and one thing that stood out for me, and is present in this paper, is the lucid simple presentation of interrelations and concepts. I recommend his distillation of operators for modelling physical processes such as electromagnetic fields.

See for example

First, repealing Section 230 is different from reforming Section 230. I mostly see calls for reform - not repeal.

This is a default. If it offends your sensibilities so much, you can configure it to be something else.

Heck, I'd even go as far as suggesting that "main" is a more common word for non-native speakers of english than "master", making it more intuitive for non-US developers.
My friend once had gallery of CGI in Toronto. Some of his printed images simulated just that. To me, unless you rubbed your finger you would not guess. It had visually perfect shading and relief. Granted there were no parallax but to properly notice that one human needs to be constantly moving when watching the painting.

Also I have no idea if it exists but nothing prohibits one to hook up simple plotter type robot to computer and have it make that physical presence real by using real brushes / spray and paint.

> This is something that only has an impact when you create a brand new git repo,which is relatively rare.

What a strange thing to claim, when both this thread and the original post talk about things that need to update based on the change, such as CI/CD scripts, git aliases, and so on.

> Nevertheless, git added support for this option less than a year ago.

Yes, I'm just saying it's strange that git added support to customize the name, but then didn't add a way to ask it what it's configured to, given that things will depend on knowing what that name is.

If you have a steady income and significant savings (say, anything more than six months of expenses), and you haven’t invested a significant fraction of that savings in some growth-oriented asset class like stocks, you’re making a very foolish long-term decision.

I don't know, I can't speak for the people who's access is limited. However, I am Dutch and can say that these cultural sensibilities are far outside of just the "American" one.

There are plenty of people that struggle with this terminology in a realistic way. Even if you can't find anecdotal evidence of someone being offended by this, you can rationally come to the conclusion that it might be worth changing it. And for it to be accessible, it doesn't need to come 100% from the people that face problems with the terminology. If it were to be 100% those people, than it would be a great from of cultural emancipation however!

Hyperbole for this one thing to be sure, but the amount of money _and_ time spent in total on the Social Justice Industrial Complex over the past few years could probably have terraformed Mars. What a waste.
> We are objectively wealthy enough that everyone could have a place to live, enough food to eat, free medical care even to the point of expensive cancer treatment, free education if so much of our resources weren't directed towards enriching so few without sacrificing essential items.

I'd love to see your math on this.
Totally agree with this.

If someone still struggles to get behind it, think of the few chars that will be shorter to type and also think how it is much easier to compare the branch concept a real tree, and talk about the main branch. Maybe they could have gone for trunk? (If you care so much about main vs trunk, then choose whatever makes you happy)
It’s not feature full. It’s not easy to rewind or fast forward. You can’t change the speed of the memo. If your phone switches tilts - horizontal to vertical, usually the memo is lost.

Which British monarch has their hands dirty with the blood of millions? The obvious cases where British policy led to that many deaths would be e.g. the Irish and Bengal famines (the latter during WWII). Those both took place at a time when the monarch was a constitutional figurehead.

The best case might be the slave trade. But this was at its height under the Hanoverians, by which time the Commons was already the effective supreme power. I suppose you could say that the slave trade started earlier, and that this starting event caused the later expansion. Maybe, but that's a claim about the causal chain that needs arguing for.
Part of taking a broad and empathetic approach is understanding all people's emotions, thoughts and desires without necessarily sympathetiszing with them. Empathy is a pre requisite for agreement, discussion and conflict resolution.

What these types of changes show, however is that there is no discussion and the opposition to such change indicates a "lack of empathy" which is a classic othering tactic. That to me is worrying. People should be able to meet in the middle, to negotiate change.

These types of change appear to have been done with no real agreement, no meeting in the middle. It appears as if, ironically (and with a bit of exaggeration from me), no empathy outside of the ingroup was used.

The reality is no holistic understanding or discussion is required as it's a foregone decision and one where almost everyone in this discussion forum has no say about. We should just get on and live with it.

> You can use subtitles, or you do what every foreigner has to do: you adapt and learn to deal with different accents.

I realize that my position is extreme against current practice, but I do think that it's logical for some content. It's possible that automatic accent standardization is more feasible for computers than automatic transcription of accented speech. In that case, the former might be a cheaper substitute for people who cannot understand your accent.

As for why you would want to cater to people who cannot understand your accent, perhaps weak ESL speakers with little exposure and little opportunity for exposure are part of the audience of your content.

As for another reason for changing accents that I did not previously supply: some people may have accents that place them, but want that privacy maintained in the recording.

> Remember that the inflation that we are talking about is that with regard to consumer prices, which is often related to wages. It does not relate to asset inflation on things like shares, or house prices, which can behave quite differently, as the last decade’s shown.

I like how the article waves off asset inflation. The federal reserve creates trillions of dollars in new money, shares and house prices go up considerably, and we have no inflation. It's a win-win. In a wealthy society like outs, assets are exactly where you would see the inflation. Demand for staple goods isn't going to go up.

This is just a transfer of wealth to asset holders.
Genuine question - why do you need an NFT/the blockchain for the "in game" stuff? Why not just manage that "in game"?

And then I guess - outside of "in game" what incentive would companies ever have to work with/create compatibility with any NFT stuff as opposed to just creating something similar themselves and owning it whole? Like if I was Apple, would I make it compatible with Facebook and Google, or just wall in another marketplace?

This is why crony capitalism is forever bound to a love affair with the state; it relieves us of any responsibility for building real communities.

Governments have never - and I believe will never - regulate society into behavior befitting the respect due to the Earth. We have given profiteers and their lobbyists access to a single point of failure; we can't be surprised when they utilize it.
