> People who believe that reptiles posing as human beings run the earth are have a platform and some sort of earnest following

Those people have always existed. When I was a kid in the 80's, supermarkets carried tabloid newspapers with headlines like "Boy born with head of a bat" or "leading telekinetics agree that world will end in six days". The difference now is that while most of us just shook our heads and dismissed those tabloid newspapers, nobody was pressuring the supermarkets themselves to ban their sale.
You change the name of the software, like consoles? The next big Gnome version could then be called Gnome 360 followed by Gnome 1, Gnome 64 or Gnome 3.11 for work groups.
You’re saying he was open about it in all the cases that are public. Kind of like the NSA has been open about all its tools that we know about.
> Seems like an auditing nightmare.

Yes and that's why large companies are often extremely reluctant to take in 3rd party code without auditing and estimating the risk.
Hardware is pretty minimal: MacBook, Android Phone, eReader, Roost Stand, Magic Keyboard/Trackpad.

But your question is more about data.

I travel internationally, and primarily use wifi at coffee shops, coworking spaces and Airbnbs. This year, that's been mostly wifi at the place I've called home all year. I've also got Google Fi which allows me to tether "unlimited" data. I think it has a cap at 22GB/mo, and maybe charges per GB after that, but I've never reached that.

If I were in the US in a motorhome, I'd probably try to get Starlink. That's a bit new and "untested" though. You could switch to Google Fi for a higher data cap, though beware that their coverage in the US is (last time I checked) not as widespread as Verizon, especially outside of cities.

You can also try to reduce your data use. I've used an app called TripMode on my Mac that allows me to block all data usage for apps and enable it on a per-app basis. That prevents things like Google Drive sync and other things that send a lot of data without my consciousness of it from blowing through data caps. It also lets you monitor exactly how much data you're using per session with each app.
This is the kind of pseudo-intellectual cynical take that people use to sound smart, but is mostly just wrong. The US political system is not some secret power sharing conspiracy.

It's adjacent to the false equivalence that comes up, or 'whataboutism' whenever there's any discussion of the CCP.

Edit: If I incorrectly misread your comment as a subtext criticism of the US, my apologies.
> we often actively discourage looking at OSS contributions during resume review for the same reason we don't offer take home interview assignments: it's biased against people who don't have a whole lot of extra time at home. When we have done either of the above, the singles who work part time have a bunch of time to perfect their work suddenly have a lot to show over the single parents who may be working full time or more.

Or their company ships a product that has a huge dependency on that particular OSS project, so they are doing the work on company time.
I personally know fifteen women who've been sexually harassed by you. Shame on hackernews dot com for giving you a platform, shame on your employer, shame on everyone around you.
Consider starting in a QA role and gradually building your skillset toward possible transition into development, if that is what you will still want:

* while having low entrance barrier, manual QA role will allow you to get exposed to an industry and build domain knowledge

* you will get a daily sense of accomplishment and meaning which will help you deal with depression

* gradually you will be able to transition to automated testing, or an adjacent field, such as DevOps

* you will be able to make a living

I was doing some trail building this last fall and there was a red tailed hawk nest across the valley. It was pretty amazing to hear that classic "eagle" call every now and again while working.
The book I usually recommend is Two Scoops of Django with a small caveat that while it remains the most lucid guide to a fairly complex framework, Django itself has evolved since its publication (most notably in its support for async). But I actually just learned there's a new version out that targets Django 3.0 and supposedly covers all its fancy new bells and whistles. Haven't picked it up yet, maybe someone who has can chime in. But IMO you really can't go wrong with Two Scoops — I'm sure the new version is fantastic.

Intermediate-level Python proficiency is assumed, but that's to be expected when learning any new framework.
You probably never lived in a Soviet country. Deaths and repression of millions of people weren't the everyday reality. Censorship and self-censorship were.
The politics subreddit is among the worst. It seems like it is essentially run by operatives of the DNC. (I’m entirely non-partisan: I believe both major parties are right-wing parties, and neither serves our public interests well).
Sorry if it wasn't clear (not a native speaker), I agree completely with all your points. I also don't want hidden things or animations each time I want to focus on another app. It was an open question, I'm wondering if anyone using Gnome 40 can answer? Also, just hovering over the Unity taskbar and scrolling with the mousewheel to cycle between windows is fantastic, I miss that a lot on Windows!
Experimental science doesn't claim to know all the answers because it's not a theology. It builds upon human knowledge and never ceases. That's the point of science. The reason religion is impossible to prove by science we have no means to measure a god. But you apparently do because of mental manifestations that you created with or without free will.

People told me the same thing about Go when I started using D back in 2013. Compared to today, D didn't have a lot going on in 2013.
it depends? when I was a kid, my tennis instructor used to prop up pictures of osama bin laden on hitting targets. a little odd to do with young children, but not a big deal I don't think. if "islamic terrorist" means a picture of someone wearing typical pashtun garb holding an ak, that's a bit less okay.

it's kinda like people who are really into home defense. there's nothing wrong with people who train a lot to defend against a home invasion. but with some of them, you get the impression they actually hope it happens. not a great look.
Weird. I assumed he was just working at places with unusually thick-headed and over-respected accountants, but then I got to this part:

>The accountants, however, were more worried about the abstract and frankly imaginary concept of depreciation that would come from us technically now owning these assets and them losing 10% of their value per year on paper. This theoretical drawback was seen as more important than the real-life cost-effectiveness of being able to win revenue for the organisation with this logistical cost stripped out. Compared with €600 per month, 10% of the value being lost off each car each year would only have amounted to €300 anyway!

... and remembered all the people saying that the major "benefit" of AWS (and related services) was that they get to purchase all their computational resources as operational expenditures rather than face the downsides from a capital purchase and its depreciation accounting. And the "only pay for resources as needed" was just icing on the cake.
Still no match for Gnome 2's UI. RIP that old interface, the best of the *nix desktops.
Yeah but there's also no expectation that images will work, so "this document won't work right unless you have certain client features" wouldn't even be unique.

So I disagree with your earlier statement even if we exclude javascript. No, I can't tell you without clicking if a gemini URL requires a graphical browser to render properly. Without even being cheeky or pedantic.
Organic matter is mostly feeding the soil life. Sand, silt, and clay are where the minerals in food come from. The soil life makes them available to plants.
>Somehow webpack/JS/React has way faster build times than Java/Android apps. That's the main reason we completely abandoned fully native apps in Java/Swift in favor of webapps with a tiny native wrapper app for the few only-native calls we need.

I'm sure your users are glad you're giving them a worse experience because your build times are marginally faster.
> The fragility of the CPC and its fear in being portrayed in any negative light knows no limits.

The next dimension I predict will be the fragility of the CPC for being portrayed in a positive light. What is going to happen when hypernationalism and hyperidealism is at odds with the personal and political projects of its leaders?
“The law” is decided by the most powerful people in society. Why do you think weed dealers have done 20 years in jail while Purdue Pharmaceuticals executives paid a $3 million fine for killing 500,000 people and counting? It’s not the weed dealers writing that law.
I can't imagine Twitter/Facebook/etc. actually changing what a user wrote, in any context. This does reveal something about Reddit and I would be less surprised to learn they are editing other posts.
They also require you to login to expand comments on the new site which seems insane to me.
China and TW are engaged in conflict atm, and they speak in the language of power.
Takes too long to get to their first point about accounting.

By the time I got to the first point about accounting, I was already bored. In reading the first point I realized it is too vague to be persuasive. Stopped there.

Decided to look for author to see if they even have a background in accounting.

I'm of two minds (I often am). I agree that humor is a bonding device. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. And to top it off, it's more fun.

But, what if there was a person in your group that was actually offended? And couldn't say so because they'd be out of the group? Does it matter? (To me, yes). Does it matter enough to change the group's behavior? (Maybe). Does it matter enough to change the entire world's behavior?
I'm curious to see if Gelsinger can fix Intel's 127x fiascos (there are multiple). It's not like the process engineers are sitting around scratching their butts, they are on call nonstop and I know two that have quit due to pressure. He can't drive the engineers any harder, so how is he going to fix it?
It's not entirely different, but at least in a democracy a politician still has to mingle with their party members / tries / does, maybe even try to get some votes. Admins, sub moderators, don't have to at all.

Not that I think there's a way to force that, but the disconnect is still there.

Agreed about the folks who want power. When I moderated a large forum and we picked new moderators we had a rule where anyone who lobbied 'too hard' to be a moderator was automatically out. What is funny is that if you followed those users they often ended up banned later on ...
The Armenia vs Azerbajan war of ~October 2020 is super informative towards the future of war. Though the poster is a noob account, their assessment is good for a brief HN comment.

If you are at all interested in how conflicts are going to proceed in the early 21st century, reading up on this war is essential:

One thing that was mentioned is suicide drones. The umbrella term is 'loitering munitions', as they describe a wider range of platforms with similar intents. You can read more about them here:

For reference: The US has the Switchblase 600, a man-portable anti-armor drone/missile with a ~50mi range and ~40min of loiter time total, with a 'dash' speed of 115mph. It's controlled via touchscreen.

> Not if most of us keep claiming laziness and buy stuff that clearly say "made in China", when there are alternatives readily available either online or next to it in the aisle.

Somewhat US centric, but you may not know that the top trading partner of the US is no longer China. Also labor costs in china have gone up so "made in china" no longer carries a price premium for "lazy" consumers.
Is that for IntelFoundaries giving newer process node capacity preferentially to Intel, or corporate IP theft reasons? Or something else I hadn't considered.
It is wrong to want to. To be clear, it is laudable to train for the situation. But to eagerly anticipate it, to hope for enemies to attack your country and community, is abhorrent.

For the foreseeable future owning Fabs is fastest way to be subsidized by American tax payer.

> It was super significant in that it was evidence that Reddit employees have the ability to edit messages with no audit trail and no governance.

Yeah this is an issue, but let’s be real here, this matters to you me and a few other people here, and outside in the real world no-one cares. Even this expectation is new, any admin who was hosting phpbb forums or whatever else had this freedom to change a few entries in their Mysql Db, heck there was an engineer who was able to go inside people’s private gmail (https://www.wired.com/2010/09/google-spy/) — and Google is a company we expected to have better safeguards. Better security measures, sophisticated software architecture to prevent this, these things only happen after a startup reaches a high level of maturity in its timeline, Reddit hadn’t quite reached that point when this happened. I would be concerned if such a thing happened now though. Now these safeguards do exist on Reddit so there’s that.

> The new design collapses all responses below the second level

I don't follow. I just opened a random comment thread, and counted comments being shown up to seven levels deep (which was the deepest comment.) Is the behavior you describe only if you're logged out or something?
> As just one anecdote, the mere presence of a GC made me stop looking at D more or less immediately.

A lot of people say that, but that's the tip of an iceberg of 500 items that will prevent someone that doesn't want GC from using it. In other words, nobody ever used a language only because it didn't have a GC.

You realize it has quotes ? And besides, don't be naive.
You start by saying "you feel your options are limited to X or Y" and then go on to say "X is the last refuge of the incompetent, do nothing" implying there is some other option besides Y when you do nothing?

So your real response is: when confronted with someone who refuses to engage with you on the level of a decent human being, just take it. This doesn't seem like the way civilization works to me.

You've edited in a nice little tidbit about "well sometimes you've got to escalate" but failed to provide where that delineation is for you. Loud music isn't it. What about gunshots? What about children screaming loudly? What about someone breaking in to your neighbor's? When is it OK to escalate?
Exactly, it smells of imperialistic tendencies that occur all over with gentrification. Hopefully the local cops and city council ignore the gentrifiers in this case.
You would think that sort of behavior would be the final nail in the coffin for Reddit as a whole - but they've done a lot of things in the past that I would have thought would have been the final nail in the coffin, and they're still as popular as ever.
Another way of looking at TSMC's Arizona fab is similar FAB 68 in Dalian, which still seems to have largely been built for strategic relationship building purposes.
When did you last check? Last I checked, he lived on airplanes, giving talks around the world.

If it makes you feel better, Richard is verbally hostile towards men too. The "verbal abuse" is equal opportunity.

And all that said, a lot of immigrants get fired in the US for what's perceived to be inappropriate cultural behavior here. African Americans too, for that matter. Many communication styles are perceived as verbally abusive within US culture. That doesn't make it right.
22 GB per month as a cap for google fiber, is that for real? I eat 22 GB per day. Looking at my network properties it says I've eat 725 GB in past 30 days, and that's low actually as I routinely go over 1 TB. And that's just me alone, not the rest of my household.
Always assume Go references are about the board game, always disappointed. Congrats on the book!
Do the ships have remote control options?
Sometimes there are practical reasons to avoid this approach and have fewer test methods that test multiple behaviors of a single thing. For example a lot of our projects setup and teardown a database between test methods so a few fatter test methods run a lot faster than a large number of small test methods. We rely on good commenting within the methods to understand what exactly is being checked.
What's the issue with it? I see nothing but hate, but I honestly don't mind the new design.

The fragility of American imperialism and its fear in being portrayed in any negative light knows no limits.

That’s why they focus on creating propaganda like this.

I’ve liked some Field of Vision stuff before (shining a light on content moderation practices on Silicon Valley social media platforms), yet this feels part of the larger ‘West hating on China’/sinophobia + red scare stuff. It’s getting boring.
Just seconding this. They have had stock fairly regularly, and they have a pretty good notification email for when they will have new items available. I purchased a 3090 from them, along with a few other parts.

How did you come to this conclusion? It is entirely possible that there was an audit trail and governance, spez simply ignored the governance, and he would have been fired after an examination of the audit trail if he was anyone else but the co-founder/CEO.
You'll also see collars of domestic dogs and cats in raptor nests. This is a frightening new thing to watch for in the semi-rural area near my parents' house. They're used to looking out for coyotes and raccoons which can be dangerous to pets. It's comparatively harder to eagle-proof a back yard.

For 1.5 year I biked around the US camping with the occasional hotel.. I had an 11" macbook air with a data plan. Sometimes I would throw a rope over a branch and pull my phone up high to get cell signal, connecting to the phone via bluetooth.
I did hardware development, fortunately for mobile hardware, so that packed away nicely. I would charge/work at a nice cafe if there was one, then at night a bit, and every 7-10 days get a hotel and work nonstop. I had a solar panel for my phone, but if I were to do it again I would get a bigger one to charge my laptop as well.

I loved it. Check out adventurecycling.org if you are interested - there are maps for biking routes all over the US.
Take homes are easy to iterate on. If multiple candidates can’t understand the problem or waste time with over-complicated solutions, you update the instructions.

If you’re constantly worried about “traps” then you might not want to work for those companies anyway. Take homes should be straightforward and similar to solving real problems.

> As far as I can tell, any company that isn’t willing to pay contracting rates to solve real problems on their stack is likely being disengenuous with their take homes

Take homes are contrived problems, not real work. Every candidate receives the same problem so they can be compared.

No company should be giving employees actual unpaid work to do as part of the interview. That’s more of an internet trope than a real problem because no rational company is going to be sending their codebase to applicants to add features to.
