The difference between the current social justice movements and the previous civil rights movements is that they're more about changing culture than policy. Voting rights, marriage rights, desegregation, abortion rights, these are things with concrete laws that could be changed.

If anything, the protests should have been about police reform. Change qualified immunity, change police training to avoid inadvertent deaths. That's something that a lot of people could support because more than just Black people get harassed by cops.

Instead, everything from master bedrooms, to math, to western civilization itself has been called "white supremacist", "racist", and "problematic". It's diluted the ability for these movements to make real substantive progress and is creating growing animosity towards themselves.
Exactly, VS Code is just an editor, a very good editor.

I can now see your point was something like this:

"Over a hundred million human beings have died because of communism and more are still dying every day in China."

But I'm still confused by your "Excess deaths? This is dishonest" remark.

I read the Wikipedia quote as noting communist party rule generally results in large numbers (i.e. excessive) of deaths, a factor that is inherent in the communist party system of rule.

That is very similar to the point you are trying to make.

In any case I agree with your points from above which clearly show many people have died under communist party rule and I also think the Wikipedia page that you referenced suggests likewise.
I have a friend who worked at Fiserv. He was a junior dev who didn't know better; he now describes his treatment there as abusive. (Very low pay, verbal abuse, many extra hours on call.)
The left-wing perspective on "power to the people" often means the use of state power on behalf of people to counteract private sources of power (eg commercial power).

The right-wing perspective often means the removal of state power in favor of private (ie, "personal") source of power (often in the form of commercial entities).

I can say one thing in favor of Eclipse. Out of the box, it would show you compile errors across your whole Java project, so you could do interface refactors and method renames fearlessly.

In Intellij, for years and years and years and years and years, and possibly even still, you had to enable a changing and unpredictable set of options to get the same set of behavior, maybe. You'd try to find the most recently edited answer in this question[1] and hope that it worked. Note how one of the upvoted suggestions is "use the Eclipse compiler instead."

So yeah, switching to Intellij killed off like 30% of what made Java development bearable for me.

Hey if you create a book or blog I would love to check out your bash scripts

You should definitely try mdbook if you want to keep it in a book format as it offers good fulltext search

And I found the entire script interesting I would definitely try this once I get to my laptop as I’m currently surfing HN on my phone
It happened just a few days ago to a colleague of mine.
I've got to wonder about the level of experimentation it takes to get to the point where you can actually effectively create a genuinely braindead, but otherwise wholly functional human unit. From a genetics standpoint, I believe it's a fractaline system, meaning recursive elements, which is (and quite probably wrongly) to say that removing one piece of DNA, or favorably altering it to fit the outcome, could result in unexpected outcomes in the development of other necessary components. Like, there's a good deal of the endocrine system that's tucked away in the brain, delete the PFC and what results? We don't understand consciousness to the degree this demands for a "truly ethical" criterion anyways; and that may be a moot point, as it may be beyond comprehension. And that's discounting a lot of other things. Are organs grown in vitro adapted to actual use? What about epigenetics and possible incompatibilities generated by them? For major endocrine organs, what kind of reaction will the whole have receiving a 1:1 transplant with a 20 year old liver in an 80 year old? And so on...
I have to commend Audacity for making a tool so easy to use that regular (but technical) folks can use it with no prior recording experience. It being cross platform and runnable on so many devices due to low hardware requirements is a big perk too.

I've recorded 70+ episodes of the Running in Production podcast[0] and to get the highest quality audio I can for the show I ask guests to locally record their side of the conversation with Audacity while I do the same on my end. Then we talk in real-time over Zoom to have the actual conversation.

Out of 70+ episodes there hasn't been a single case where something went wrong due to Audacity. These are shows where we're continuously recording for 60-90 minutes too.

All I ended up doing was write up a quick guide. Basically how to download it, making sure your "good" mic is selected and doing a test recording. No one has ever complained that the process was too involved or hard to follow. Most folks get set up in less than 2 minutes with no assistance and most guests have never recorded audio before.

I want to do it suprisingly often.

* When running/cycling somewhere unfamiliar: My phone will be safe in my backpack. In my hands I want a map I can stuff in a pocket, not worry if it gets wet or rained on, that I can hold while gripping the handlebars, that I can use while wearing gloves, and write other notes on, etc. I could print in color on my inkjet printer, but the ink runs in the rain. A printout from my mono laser won't run, but Google Maps isn't legible then either.

* On occasions when you don't want to bring a phone: What actually prompted my original comment was yesterday I had a government language exam, in an unfamiliar location on the outskirts of town, with strict instructions that no phones or other personal possessions were allowed in... I wasn't sure what kind of lockers they would have, or whether they would need padlocks or coins (neither of which I had) or whatever. So I thought about printing out a map and leaving my phone at home. The weather forecast was for rain, and I planned on cycling, hence it made sense to laser-print rather than use my inkjet.

I think the crucial part are the retries, which havent been mentioned.

In general, you cant assume your code will always read the new checksum before entering the critical section, unless you synchronize it. That is, when leaving the critical section you have to make sure that all threads waiting to enter it will recompute the hash.

But, from the entering thread's perspective, you never know when youll be forced to recompute. So you've got to wait on the lock. And recompute when you are woken up.

I'm not stating what they've written is wrong. Just for me it's a bit vague and looks like potential race condition.

I am convinced that a lot of human traits could be explained if, at a critical point in our evolutional history, our ancestors spend a lot of time wading in shallow water -- not unlike those Japanese macaques who keep warm at winter by dipping in hot springs. [0]

Bipedalism, body hair patterns subcutaneous fat, large brain (and, very much related to it, difficult birth), even language -- all these features make a lot of sense if you spend a lot of time in the water, leaving it occasionally to forage.

Unfortunately, I am aware of very little research in that direction, and many attempts have been shot down because of the bad reputation of the original "aquatic ape hypothesis" [1].

IBM did research back in the 90s on perceptually-based colormaps and how to best represent various types of data within the color dimensions of luminescence, saturation and hue [1]. For exampale, they found that,

(1) Hue was not a good dimension for encoding magnitude information, i.e. rainbow color maps are bad.

(2) The mechanisms in human vision responsible for high spatial frequency information processing are luminance channels. If the data to be represented have high spatial frequency, use a color map which has a strong luminance variation across the data range.

(3) For interval and ratio data, both luminance- and saturation-varying color maps should produce the effect of having equal steps in data value correspond to equal perceptual steps, but the first will be most effective for high spatial frequency data variations and the second will be most effective for low spatial frequency variations.

The only differentiator I ever saw with Quora is the presence of known public figures answering questions about their own work or area of expertise. Really, it's not a whole lot different than a Reddit AMA in theory, but it at least felt like these people maintained a real presence and weren't just promoting their latest books or films.

But that is inherently not scalable. There are a limited number of celebrity subject matter experts.

Heck, I even used to use it myself for a while. It was fairly interesting being able to give detailed meaningful answers to questions about how government budgeting and defense contracting works in a totally non-political context where you just give the technical details and people seem to actually care. But I feel like it didn't last? I don't know what Quora could have done. Seemingly, the wave of utter nonstop political toxicity just took over the entire Internet. Being completely general purpose, they don't have the narrow niche appeal like the Stack Exchanges, Hacker News, and the few hobbyist sub-Reddits still worth going to that allows them to keep out the people just looking to shout and be heard.

The reality of the world these days seems to be you either go for quality but guarantee you're never going to get big, or you go all-in trying for a payday knowing you're almost certain to become a cesspool of toxic pointlessness, but hopefully addictive toxic pointlessness you can use to sell ad space.
I think some cats are different because they are antisocial and there aren't that many of them. Compared to humans (and e.g. dogs) that have to hunt but also feed a group and support a social structure. Social cats like lions I believe do mostly eat bigger game. But cats overall are also extremely smart compared to most animals. Look into how intelligent tigers are. But they dont collaborate so they don't need that side of intelligence.

I do like your idea about the extant hunter gatherers, that should be easy to confirm.
Is it?

I mean, it's still not very good at it - you will only get lower resolutions, and at this point a Raspberry Pi and storage/power/cases are not cheaper than buying a Fire Stick or a Chromecast which works better for that use case.
You said it's not reasonable for someone who hasn't used a certain IDE for 10 years to be able to navigate around in it easily. I countered that VS Code was very easy for me to find my way around even though I'd never used it.

For giggles, I just installed Eclipse for the very first time on this computer. I opened a Python file, and it's visible in the middle third of the window, surrounded by wide sidebars and a bottom section with labels like "Markers", "Servers", "Data Source Explorer", and so on [0]. I have literally no idea what I'm supposed to do next, or how to fix that I can only see a tiny bit of my code by default. Contrast with opening a file in a brand new, unconfigured VS Code setup [1].

I'm not saying that Eclipse is bad, just that I don't know how to use it. That's not a criticism of it. However, I strongly thing that the first-time experience of opening VS Code is miles better than that of Eclipse, and I guess I am criticizing that a little bit.

How Dell is redesigning its products for circularity
Grappling. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specifically. I'm a purple belt (middle belt, halfway to black belt) and I understand things about manipulating how another human body moves that would either make my white belt mind of 8.5 years ago explode or it would be incomprehensible. It usually takes around 10 years for a person to go from white belt to black belt if they train consistently. There are exceptions, of course, but I usually liken the thought and mat time spent, knowledge acquired, and skills sharpened to obtaining a PhD.
Thank you for your service, now start respecting the Constitution
I agree with much of what you've said, especially the part about the shared problems that poor minority and poor White people face. Based on what you've said I wouldn't say you were very "privileged."

But responding to one of your points, and I don't think this is taught very well in schools, the specific discrimination that Black people faced went on for a long time after the end of slavery. For example, here in what is now considered progressive Oakland, CA, Black people were kept out of many jobs through the 1940s and 50s, including as streetcar drivers. Also, they were excluded from government subsidized mortgages through the 60s, which impeded their ability to build wealth and live in good conditions. These examples of explicit racial discrimination happened well within living memory.

> Why do you believe a slider would force people not to share misinformation? There must be some basis for that opinion.

"Force" is a strawman, but there is a clear basis for thinking that an accuracy slider could cause people to be more thoughtful about sharing: the results of this study, which found that "subtly inducing people to think about accuracy" resulted in "participants in the treatment group were significantly less likely to consider sharing false headlines compared to those in the control group, but equally likely to consider sharing true headlines". The effect found was quite significant.

> media outlets rebranding it as government censorship

I must have missed that. All the criticism I've seen about the action was just that -- criticism of the private action, basically criticizing the editorial decision.

I haven't seen anyone confuse it with government regulation.
You need to better define the problem you are trying to solve. For example in my team in Europe there is no black member; there is no black person in the entire building and just a few in the entire city, maybe none in this kind of job, so I don't consider we are not inclusive by not having a black member in the team. You can have a problem if you are exclusive, but you cannot force inclusivity for the sake of just doing something that sounds good.

What is the goal of inclusivity? What is better for your team, having the best developers or having the most diverse developers? What is the productivity and value of diverse developers versus expert developers? Is a developer more valuable because of the skills or because of the skin color? Would you want to be treated by a competent doctor or by a black doctor? I am not saying there are no competent black doctors, but you make it sound that color is more important than competence.
It's not our job to educate you.

What do you think "fake news" is?

It's just the culmination of all the out of context, agenda riddled and biased spinning that the media does.

Go look at how the both sides controversy gets portrayed, then go listen to the full speech. Not just the soundbite you heard on the Daily show.

I saw the Charlottesville videos, I was horrified, the president's statements were hurtful and stupid. But wow, the media really took it for a ride.

Aside from that, not everything is about trump, look at project Veritas retracto YouTube vids [1] if you want to see how the game is played.

Actually, who decides this, and how?

I mean, I understand why 1:1 are considered necessary, but I still get the creepy vibe. It's probably mostly my introversion speaking, but this is honestly how I feel about it.

> conversation about your goals; your concerns; and anything else that needs to be discussed about your career

What goals exactly? We do sprint planning every spring, plus all that backlog refinement and other stuff.

Long-term goals? Well, they don't change that often (that's what "long-term" means). Neither does my career. So having this kind of debate once or twice a year would be quite enough.
> It's more friendly than installing windows.

When's the last time you installed windows? I installed w10 about 3 weeks ago and I:
- Plugged a USB key & Ethernet cable into my PC
- clicked through a handful of GUI options
- Made a coffee

And when I returned (~15 minutes, I didn't time it), it had installed windows, done the post-install reboot crap, and was ready for me to install my own software. Out of the box I had internet connectivity, power management, semi-modern graphics drivers (< 3 months old) and was ready to rock.
If you mean a PC here, some video providers support 4K video to PCs. Netflix do. Amazon don't.

But the hardware has to support PlayReady SL3000 (or Fairplay on a modern Mac), expose that to the relevant parts of the OS and have an HDCP 2.2 chain to the monitor (and all monitors).

> The token backing BTC, Tether, is founded by con artists and was just revealed to not have had the backing they claim.

USDT doesn't back BTC. It's just a stable coin people use. There are other coins tracking the dollar. Binance created their own BUSD and it seems to be as legit as it gets with frequent audits of reserves and everything. There's also USDC.

BTC is actually backed by the eletricity used to power the computers that mine it. The expensive computations guarantee its scarcity.
It should be enabled by default, so it would truly help.

For diagrams, have you tried PlantUML [0]? I've just recently been trying it out and found it very easy to work with. Being able to compose diagrams with text is so powerful IMO (and excellent for collaboration). Definitely take a look if you haven't already. There are plugins for most IDEs as well so you can live-edit your diagrams. It's open source too which is a huge plus (if not a requirement altogether).
