FWIW, public schools in my state are closed and <19s are still one of the biggest demographics for COVID cases[1]. And that's without the semi-mandatory testing that Michigan has for students.

[1]: Frustratingly, everyone uses different age buckets for reporting. So the state uses ranges like 0-17, 18-50, 50-65 etc. But looking at the individual counties that have a bit more granularity, under 19s appear to be one of the top demographics despite having some of the fewest tests. However I haven't bothered to normalize for population or anything like that

There's a whole gaping chasm between Dave Chappelle - a world-famous comedian - making what is clearly a joke on a stage and some anonymous person posting edgy white supremacist shit 'for the lulz'. In case you haven't been following the news, that's the kind of radicalization tool that resulted in a not insignificant amount of the population believing that QAnon was real and that storming the capitol and killing a policeman were justified.

So yeah, people who are there just to 'shit post right wing stuff' should definitely consider what they are doing.

Kids should have been going outside throughout the pandemic, and seeing the small group that their family had chosen to isolate with.
Of course, most families appear to have chosen to keep their kids inside and not have any isolation partners, which is strange but hardly the fault of the schools.

> So expressing sincerely held beliefs in a personal forum like his own website is in and of itself "toxic"?

That's a loaded question... it looks like you're making some wild assumptions about whether I think Stallman is toxic, and the reasoning for that.

> Many of RMS's beliefs are indeed well outside the mainstream, but as far as I'm aware nobody has ever accused him actually doing anything abusive to anybody.

So, I'll share a couple articles.

> RMS’s loss of MIT privileges and leadership of the FSF are the appropriate responses to a pattern of decades of poor behavior.

Speaking of the FSF / GNU project leadership itself... I think it's clear that the GNU project needs a code of conduct, and if the leader is opposed to the idea as much as Stallman is, then it's correct to replace him. He has a vision for software freedom, but he's to averse to good community management (which is what the GNU project needs).
negative. modern tetris has moved way beyond NES' system. there have been many improvements to the game, like a holding piece, hard drop, the ghost piece you mentioned, advanced maneuvers like t-spins, and most interesting of all (to me) is the improved piece selection [1]. you're probably aware of the tall block meme -- when you need it, it never shows up! well that's been more or less solved.

there's also interesting strategies/techniques like 4-wide [2]. there's a whole rabbit hole to follow...

I think an advanced SQL user would probably notice that the entire problem here is caused by an incorrectly normalized schema. An order has to be placed by a customer, which is usually a type of person, but sometimes the customer person has a status of staff member, which in the example usecase was denormalized into a different table, resulting in the naturally inefficient access pattern.

Nice - how is this different than Styled Components though?
I wonder what you are talking about? He got a ton of bad press that no one wanted to be associated with, but when it came down to the communities he leads, they were largely supportive of him. GNU is a collection of programs that publicly ascribe to ethical principles he advocates for and helps define, but when it comes to the actual work of development, they are lead by their individual maintainers, not RMS. A small minority wanted him to step down, largely because they wanted someone who would lead GNU on issues like technical direction and marketing, and they were told new leadership is welcome, there's no need to remove RMS for that, and wanting a leader doesn't make one magically appear and so it didn't go anywhere. He is a maintainer of Emacs, no one there wanted him gone, and he is a leader of a couple people who are called the GNU webmasters, and none who were active wanted him gone.

Nadine doesn't know all that, but the opinion of an outsider who doesn't have personal involvement skewing their views is extremely worthwhile.
> "Open" has also been extended to other areas, such as "open science" (which does not refer to science for which a paper is available, but to actual reusable science).

That meaning predates the use of "open" to describe software, hence why "open source" isn't that great of a term for something truly new. It co-opts the much older term "open source" which means freely available through non-protected sources. Like, in the intelligence services "open sources" has meant non-classified, non-restricted sources. There's a similar meaning in journalism.
> People in the OSS community can, at times, glorify toxic behavior.

I wouldn't go so far as to glorify toxic behaviour, but some of what is seen as toxic by some is IMO just frankness or a tactic to bring the conversation back into a realm of technical discussion.

I get the feeling the reason for the Tarsnap price is simply a lack of scale and bootstrap nature of it. (i.e. there isn't a VC feeding money into hosting costs to drive the costs down to grow the userbase). The cost seems fair, but noncompetitive against other vendors on most easy to find quantitative measures (Cost, features, SLAs, locations, etc).

However I do think there is value in Tarsnap if security is really that important. Colin is really switched on, and I trust both the service, and if anything happened, he would deal with it quickly and professionally. If I had the kind of profile that meant I needed to protect myself against determined attackers, then tarsnap would be a no-brainer for me.
The new SpaceX Starship super heavy rocket will be the biggest rocket ever built and will carry humans.

Gallery code that queries all photos and shows them to the user. It had a 13 sec delay with 10k photos and above.

I thought it was a Big O problem at first, because the code was hacky and used more Arrays that it needed. But it was because it was obtaining all images and then sorting them by time.

I sped it up to milliseconds by making the queries sorted by time.

Threaded OpenGL is something you only do if you either have a death wish or a phone number you can dial to speak to a VP at NVIDIA. Everyone I know who's shipped it in games regretted it, and I've had driver developers explicitly tell me I shouldn't bother.

It's worth noting that we went a long way when it comes to diagnosing autism/ASD/ADD since 2000 or even 2008 and we know that lots of neurodiversive people remained undiagnosed because of mismatching characteristics (especially among young girls). Also, Stallman suffers from hyperacusis, which is clearly described in "Free as in Freedom". Setting a diagnosis is a job for a specialist, but his acknowledgement of "a few of the characteristics" may actually be a much stronger hint than you believe (or even he does, especially if the main example he gives is the one about rhythm :P).
With the highly publicized Army–McCarthy hearings of 1954, and following the suicide of Wyoming Senator Lester C. Hunt that same year, McCarthy's support and popularity faded.

According to the theory, when articulating preferences individuals frequently tailor their choices to what appears socially acceptable. In other words, they convey preferences that differ from what they genuinely want. Kuran calls the resulting misrepresentation "preference falsification".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preference_falsification

Now this is a system where if one of us decides for whatever reason that we’re going to call a spade a spade and say this system doesn’t work, I don’t like it, I go out in the street and I start demonstrating — a lot of other people are going to follow. So what’s happened is ultimately, when some demonstrations began, and it happened to be the demonstration started in East East Germany, these demonstrations started growing every week, more and more people found in themselves the courage to say what they believed and to come out against the regime.

I didn't.

> I wrote nothing that would preclude your scenario from being a possibility

That's kind of my point: there's a lot of questioning the motivations of the 'cancel culture mob' around these parts recently, but very little questioning of the motivations of the 'anti cancel culture mob'. It almost feels like there's a gaping blind spot there.

Unsurprisingly, a significant percentage of the 'anti cancel culture' controversy seems to be driven by a tiny fraction of people. One could even argue that both the 'cancel culture' and 'anti cancel culture' mobs are tiny. And yet, somehow, Hacker News seems to heavily favor the 'anti cancel culture' angle.

Go figure, huh?

> That's not a bad point. But then it turns out that it's not really connected to the statements about Minsky, is it?

The statements about Minsky are harmful. What reason is there to be coming to somebody’s defense when they are credibly accused of something like that? Frankly I don’t want friends who would react like Stallman did if I were to be accused as seriously as Minsky has been.

People who are going to do harm because they don’t understand power imbalances should not be leaders. Yes, we’re all bad at something, but if that’s the thing you’re bad at, it’s probably not the place for you in our society. On this I will be firm. It is incumbent on leaders to understand power and take the potential for abuse in situations of power differential seriously. They must be scrupulous. These comments would not be made by someone who is scrupulous about power imbalances.
I guess you have made a wrong conclusion: coal dominance in total does not conclude to coal dominance for mining. Because mining factories are very sensitive about the energy price, they are mostly built near locations where energy is cheap enough and will be wasted if not consumed locally by the mining or transmitted to other places in time.
I probably should have been more clear that I was commenting specifically on the absolutism of the parent comment, not on Stallman.
I am quite fine with RMS being a software freedom zealot. I don't agree with his extremist views but agree that there is value in that kind of fringe existing.

This does not extend to some or many of his other expressed views and behaviors outside of the realm of software freedom.

I agree with this approach but there's an issue with "it's their job, they know best". They will inevitably want to put the same tracking crap in the logged-in site as well, so they can see how visitors converted into users, how they used the site once they were users, how valuable that made them as customers, and so on. As long as FB/other analytics firm is saying "we can help you market better with additional data", marketers are going to advocate sharing it.

I 100% agree with this.

I also think that one catches more flies with honey than vinegar, and the criticism in the parent comment, while possibly valid, could be phrased more encouragingly and less combatively. It's easy to criticize, it's hard to create, and it's even harder to release.
Pay careful attention to the response from Backblaze:

> "Hi Brett! The pixels we use are primarily for audience building when we advertise on other platforms like Facebook for example." [...]

The carefully calculated cutesy "Hi Brett!" with the exclamation point is the same reason big tech companies use infantile graphics [0]: by seeming playful, they create the illusion they are a Safe Friend you can Trust.

They vent at the same point as before, based on breathing. But they were telling people not to come in until they were having difficulty breathing, because they didn't have any early treatment or any space.
Having access to remdesivir/steroids would mean people should come in for treatment early, but it only helps if given very early. But if infection numbers were large enough then we probably wouldn't manage to treat everyone early enough, so it would cut the rate of severe cases by an unknown amount.
I certainly agree that a high- profile suicide or equally heinous act would accelerate cancel culture into its demise but surely waiting for catastrophic disaster like that is not a realistic strategy.
Also I'm pretty sure there is no consultancy process.
