I hadn't heard the term "gnat line." Thanks for introducing me! I also grew up south of gnat line, along the gulf coast of Mississippi.

To get to your comment, unfortunately I think that measuring our own thought processes is far from a solved problem. And I'm not sure that implicit biases are necessarily a problem that can be "solved." A huge part of being in society is subduing certain of our more damaging natural inclinations, essentially being civil: not yelling and hitting people when we're angry, being willing to be bored for long periods of time in order to get something we need, etc.

I really do think you hit the nail on the head with this:

> Until then I have to categorize it as an emotional response and handle it in the same way, which is basically just empathizing, consoling, and not necessarily fixing the root of the problem

Largely, these things are emotional responses, and just like emotional responses, they're not necessarily rational or useful. Often the only thing we can do is recognize that they're there, let them exist, and refuse to act on them.

To be clear, I'm not making any claims here about any kind of corporate training. I'm not sure that I'm personally convinced that mandatory corporate training does any good in any situation, although I'm inclined to say that I guess it's better than nothing, in that it at least (hopefully) makes clear what the official company line is on things, and makes it clear that e.g. blatant sexism is not okay in the workplace, even if it doesn't actually change the opinions of any workplace harassers or misogynists. That being said, I am also deeply skeptical of its ability to effect any real change in people.
You do realize languages change (constantly), right? This gives me the sense of someone echoing talking points picked up from spending time listening to reactionary Youtube agitators (especially the gender-focused dogwhistle)
They could and they probably will if LN keeps growing. You wouldn’t need to trust VISA at all, LN is “trustless”. They would just be a cog in the wheel, like all the other LN “nodes”.

Having dived into DeFi over last few weeks I am much more conscious and annoyed by the fees you have to pay to get from fiat to your final intention.
Right, as long as you can pretextually (very pretextually, in the Gina Carano case) justify your outrage as "punching up" along those lines, you're fine! The OP clearly understands this as well, as she repeatedly stresses that the person who was upset with her was both male and likely richer than her (I'll assume that he wasn't white, or else that likely would have been mentioned as well) - therefore any sort of negative action against her would be unjustifiable since there's no "punching up" narrative, and if he ends up being punished then we can celebrate.
You don't understand how hard is for a messaging app to gain traction. Telegram has been growing for years and years, and it offers some significant advantages over WhatsApp. Even with all this marketing and effort, I'd say only about 10% of my WhatsApp contacts are on Telegram. Now you want to get people to move to yet another app? For what? Why would they? Because no ads?

If a new app ever manages to become big (as in, Telegram-level big, let alone WhatsApp), it would take years of raising money and marketing. And how would they pay for that exactly? You think people pay a mensual/anual fee for a messaging apps when there are free alternatives? No, the answer is, again, ads. That or selling user data, which is much worse.

You're too focused on the tech, but you have no understanding of how business works.
There are many reasons why people are paying for it:

1. Save time - We find the best shoutouts for you so you don't have to search them in bookmarks and find them.
2. Design beautiful walls - We are offering design layouts(grid view, carousel view) with custom settings like changing colors, dark mode etc.
3. Zero maintenance - Once you setup an embed on your website you are done. All you need to do is add shoutouts to your wall and the embed automatically reloads with news shoutouts.
4. Ultra-fast embeds - Our embeds load ridiculously faster than Twitter embeds.
5. We are not just limiting ourselves to Twitter but will expand it other platforms. So we are here to monopolize the social proof niche.
> In addition to reducing working hours, managers urged staff to cut down on the time they spent in meetings and responding to emails.

> They suggested that meetings should last no longer than 30 minutes. Employees were also encouraged to cut down on meetings altogether by using an online messaging app (Microsoft’s, of course).

If I am told I am part of an experiment, I would do my best to make it a success and make my 3-day weekend permanent :)
Having an Eclipse release sit on HN for 3 hours with zero comments seems like the most accurate depiction of the market's current feelings towards Eclipse...
Yeah, I do most of my work inside VNC servers running fvwm with emacs, xterm+tmux+zsh, and firefox. My config files haven't substantially changed in 25 years. The desktop login environment has changed many times over this period (enlightenment, sawfish, compiz, metacity, mutter, mutter-on-wayland, even Windows 7 and 10 for work) but I only configure that enough to set up virtual desktops in which I just bring up VNC viewers for multiple hosts.
Basically this, for us it was:

I recently switched to Click from argparse and like it better so far.
Well, they had a clear vision about "organizing the world's information", but ads did not enter the picture until year 2000.

In 1998 they were decidedly anti-ad, but after failing to monetize differently, I guess they caved in.

However, that anti-ad approach and an attempt to avoid the results being gamed with PageRank made hordes of "us" (geeks who were being called in to help others with their "computer problems") to get everybody to switch to Google Search.

But I doubt they planned all of that, especially not to turn their company into an advertising company.
I think most sane people agree with this; its a tweet, delete it and move on. But we live in a world where supposed virtue and feelings matter more to some people than rational thought. If I were an interested party in Figma and this tweet cost the company a big sale, of course I would fire the employee. This whole "feelings before business" is asinine and I hate that these posts are becoming more and more common.
I agree, and pair programming is really the best option to learn a code base.
Everything you said is completely right. I personally experienced nearly all of the variants (unforgotten memories, detached emotions, long term, slow trauma, etc.) Some of them were easy, but I'm still struggling with some (That's OK).

However, I want to heavily emphasize that there's no such thing as "poor outcomes are due to poor practice" in our way. I never got that treatment from my masters or my deceased instructor. Same is valid for me. I'd never say something something similar to any of my students.

These students give us all their trust. Their wellbeing is more important than ours during practice and after that. We'd do anything in our capacity to help them, and we have preliminary response protocols if something goes wrong. This brings us to next point of you, which is equally valid.

> I think triage is important, but there is a lot of belief that any practitioner can handle any person.

That's absolutely true. If we sense something is beyond us, we direct our students to medical doctors. If there's an emergency, we directly take them there. Having knowledge of preliminary medical first aid is essential (we have them). Funny thing is, other trainer in my city is an MD. Our master was a field medic.

We neither denounce nor ignore modern medicine. We just can complement in lots of instances or teach people to help themselves. I think it's equally important to know the value and capacity of tradition and accept things evolve and advance.

It's assuring that none of students had any adverse effects or negative events in their life due to practices they made with us. If anything happens, its responsibility is on us, not them. We're showing the way, and we don't have the luxury to make mistakes.
Sure, I'm not saying the Rockstar devs are stupid. I was addressing the idea that it was some kind miracle that happened here, rather than just competent engineering.

"I don't have time to do it myself" is probably a very common reason why consultants are hired.
Not the original commenter here but

- i3 treats individual monitors as virtual desktops instead of having them stretch across all monitors which makes it easy to shift say a workspace with a browser or a chat app into a secondary monitor without losing the current task or having to rearrange everything.

- i3 lets you define keybinding modes that work much like modes in vim

- i3 is very simple and comprehensible its about as non magical as can be making it using it predictable and simple
I love Grice's Maxims because they're something virtually all speakers intuitively understand and follow whether they've heard of them or not.

Where they're really useful, though, is in identifying when people are being deceptive or misleading. It happens all the time with politicians taking stuff out of context - "My opponent said xyz is true, which is terrible!" when the reality is that your opponent said xyz is true only when abc happens, they've violated Grice's Maxim of Quantity.

Oftentimes people get tripped up when they're speaking to someone who is saying things that are technically true but feel misleading, but they're unable to really pinpoint what's wrong with them - a lot of the time it's because the other speaking is violating the the Maxims of Quantity or Relation. If you can identify that, then it's a lot easier to figure out what the other person is doing (and to try to understand why they're doing it).

It’s a fairly recent turn of events. First it was difficult to compile on 2.4 because three left out closed source dependencies that their build scripts relied on.

With 2.6 they are basically diverging entirely. Albeit they are still trying to argue they are foss.

The issue I have is if I’m going with an edge security appliance that has code that can’t be easily audited by security pros better than me, I’ll go with Pali Alto or Cisco who has entire branches and teams dedicated to security like Talos/snort. They are less succeptible to security errors and have a customer base that straight affects national security. So even Alphabet agencies will report exploits and 0days to them.

With their wire guard shenanigans it’s clear they are a small team and closing off the code base means I’m now relying on people that act this way to criticisms for security. I don’t really care about internet drama and it’s a reason I’ve stayed with pfsense to now. But pragmatically their choices mean I have to change. Which is okay too.

I'd think privacy concerns over data collection aren't ideological, more ethical.
In Japan, staying long hours at work is not about productivity, as I explained in my other comment. It's to make sure to understand that now, your office, your peers = your life. That's for the exact same reason you invite co-workers and your boss to make a speech at your wedding once you get married: your work is your new family (whether you like it not).
Audacity is a great tool. It's not a DAW and doesn't try to be one; I find myself using it most when I need to do a quick edit on a sound or make a recording and I'll be done before my DAW would even have started up.

Boom, hit the nail on the head. There is absolutely no other reason to include this information in the blog other than to set up this (lack of) narrative.
Wow, that is pretty basic economic fallacy. Whether you hold coins today or not should not impact an investment decision. If the BTC you bought 10 years ago for $100 is worth $100,000 today, and a couple of weeks from now the price collapses and is worth $100 again, you have still lost $100,000. Just the same as if you paid $100,000 for your BTC today. Only difference would be tax liability.

Also notable that The Mentor (Loyd) actually participates (or used to participate) here in Hacker News. I had a brief starstuck moment when he commented here in another thread in the past.

I was so identified by this in the early 1990s because I was very lonely in my small town in a developing country where nobody cared about computers and programming. As I got access to the internet I finally found a sense of belonging.
I did not have access to a unix machine, the internet or the GNU toolchain in the early 90s. I was coding on macs and DOS PCs using Borland compilers and Think C on the Mac.
> So let me tell you, as someone who was a very active member of the community when these features were announced, this is not what that felt like. I, like the rest of the community, found out about function builders by noticing code presented on a slide at WWDC which would not compile under the then-current version of Swift. There was then a large debate within the community, where members of the core team presented post-hoc rationalizations about how "Swift was always intended as a language which would support DSL's and declarative programming". But the message was clear - this feature was going into the language, with zero prior community review or input, because it was required for the business goals of Apple.

Yes, and this is one of the reasons that having well defined walls (and having names for those) is really important for commercially-backed open source projects.

It is perhaps clearer to say there is Swift, the language and open source implementation which has an open process for contributing changes. Then there is Apple iSwift, a vendor fork of that language, still open source, that Apple uses to leverage Swift for their platforms. This is similar to the relationship Apple has with clang and used to have with gcc (writing their own precompiled headers and blocks features back in the day, plus objective C itself at one time).

Function Builders were added to iSwift, and then Apple spent over a year getting it into the Swift language proper. Changes which affected the syntax of a mainline Swift feature were not off the table, although it would have affected the timeline of Apple being able to migrate developers to it.

A little bit ago I tried to revive some old Java code by downloading Eclipse and trying to use it again. I can’t believe it’s improved so little UI/UX compared to 10 years ago, and still had what felt like all these weird behaviors like forcing me into a workspace. I actually was getting enough strange errors that I couldn’t figure out how to deal with I just ended up porting the code in Python using VSCode. Granted I’m sure with enough googling I could have figured it out, but it didn’t seem worth it. I used to love eclipse back in the day— those days are long gone.

I wonder what the percentage of any perceived productivity increase is due to the reduction of time spent in meetings. Management has less hours to appear they're doing management things so they're forced to have less meetings. I feel like my productivity is so much higher when I don't need to worry about meetings.

"No point digging into this important task, it's 30 minutes before that meeting. I guess I'll kill time looking at hacker news"

"I'm exhausted from having be part of that meeting, I need 30 minutes or so to recharge before I dig into that important task."

"There's a follow up email to that meeting, I guess I should I should read it before digging into that important task"
I think European court system is not based on precedents, so while someone can point at any particular ruling in another case, it shouldn't affect ruling in their own case.

IANAL though :)

if you have compounding inflation then the absolute value of disparity between the rich and poor should be growing exponentially too, no?
Yeah it seemed weird to me that those got flagged but also in line with a lot of what I read here.

If you have something authoritative to say about meditation, I may read it, but I don’t think you’re off to a good start so far. I’ve been getting the impression that you believe your speculation to be authoritative, which is dishonest and deluded.

If one believes that less time spent working increases productivity, then by all means let's go down to 1 day a week. We'll see HUGE productivity gains there... right?
Hats off to the old Phrack team. I can safely say that I probably wouldn't have this career I have now if it wasn't for Phrack.
I see your point, but even still no one objects to the Fighting Irish or Boston Celtics logos despite being every bit the caricature. Are we doing this out of respect for Native Americans, or is it to make ourselves feel noble while we (myself included) make no progress on their material concerns?
It might be similar here in Colorado?

The language has to be approved by a committee so it's supposed to be 'fair' and clear.

But I know campaigns poll it before they submit. The first sentence is really important. Especially in Colorado at least before we're tilting blue it was impossible to pass tax increases (we have TABOR which generally in most cases throws new tax measures to the citizens) so they always focused on for instance shall _ fund education by increasing __ by .1% etc

That's how we passed MJ legalization! I worked on that campaign did digital ads. We focused on medical stories, showing a young girl (I think seizures). And Denver just decriminalized mushrooms. Very exciting.

But the opposite can be true unfortunately. Even in CA prop 8 is a sad example of group think discrimination. A danger of majoritarian Democracy.
I'm not saying that everything conservatives say is wrong nor that everything progressives want is a good idea, just that speaking of "excesses" does not actually make them so, because that's how conservatives have always talked about demands for change.

Having said that, I'm fairly certain that in the retrospect of history, conservative pushback on the change in our understanding of race would look like another incarnation of white supremacy, and would appear as horrendously wrong to the people in the future as segregation appears to us to day, so much so that the conservatives of the future will use them as an example of something that is obviously right, unlike whatever social change people call for then.

One thing about living in the 21st century is this constant understanding that you're tiny and these huge corporations can swing their balls and knock you out in the process. Being able to stick it to a billion-dollar corp, to the point of them threatening a lawsuit against you, is hilarious.

Now, I have a high-paying job and enough in savings to hold out for a few years with no income, so I'm not saying everyone should do this. But yeah, I would gladly go down if it meant I could flip the bird to these narcissistic assholes who think everyone in the world should bow down to them because they're rich.

If your belief is that in the absence of minor controversy, we'd have better media, I think you're optimistic.

We'll always have controversy and I really doubt that reducing it would improve the level of discourse one iota.

Media that prioritises controversy will do whatever they can to find or foment it rather than discuss the topics you listed.
Wrong place to ask probably, since I bet most folks on HN are well above the median salary where they live in. It's easier to cut down on your income when you have a lot to begin with.

I don't mean to say that it's not totally fixable. Up until this change, it was a reasonable assumption for any org to make, that the default branch will be the same for all projects. Now, either the default branch on any new repo must be manually set to the old default, or the build system must be updated to handle non homogenous default branches.
