I live in Utah and remote work for a team predominantly in Pittsburgh.

Last week, the Governor threw open the sluice gates and announced general availability starting today, so I grabbed a vaccine appointment faster than you can say "RTX 3060 at MSRP". I just got my shot today... so I naturally wondered if I should start obsessively refreshing the Pennsylvania vaccine page like I had been the Utah one. I'm already bugging friends and family in Utah whenever appointments are open, so I figured I'd Slack ping the entire company once Pennsylvania general availability is announced. I go and check... and that state's still in Phase 1A.

Both states have similar per-capita vaccination rates - it's not like Pennsylvania is actually behind on shots, since the vaccine distribution in the US is based on state population. In Utah, we got 75% of 65+ before we opened it up to 50+ and people with pre-existing conditions; and about half of 50+ before today when we went to general availability. I say that the priority system did it's job: cases are down and the most vulnerable (old people) are protected. Every state should be moving to either general availability if they're at the same benchmarks, or at the very least an "anyone who can't work remote" standard (which would exclude my entire team, but w/e).

(The ideal vaccination system would be to specifically target superspreaders. If we could do that, then we could achieve herd immunity at really low vaccination rates. However, that's still speculative since there is no diagnostic criterion for that and "just forcibly vaccinate anyone who violated a mask order" probably isn't a great proxy for superspreading.)
Show me a good faith disagreement with Stallman, and I'll show you something so minor as to not justify ousting a man from his job, let alone an entire Board. In fact, in most cases I'll show you one side that doesn't try to actively foist their viewpoint on others, but instead invites the other side to come to their own conclusion.

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader as to which is which.

By definition, literally any rejection of an intimate advance would make that advance "unwanted". Should we as a society interpret this to mean that the only people allowed to flirt with other people are ones who are successful 100% of the time?

Now, obviously if he persisted after rejection then that changes things, but it doesn't seem like that's been alleged AFAICT.
You're right that the parent comment used the incorrect pronoun. However, how are you to know this was not a mistake and why do you think OP "went out of their way"?

Also, isn't "everybody" incorrect given OPs statement?
I think you’ve just made that up.
this is an example of how our economic choices are altered for the worse by negative externalities. we need to properly internalize the cost of pollution from fossil fuels, roads, tires, weight, miles, etc. so that economic choices are appropriately rationalized.
The past action in question was that the former Green Party politician in question apparently continued to associate voluntarily with her own father, appointing him her election agent, even though he had been accused (apparently correctly) of torturing and raping children. Is that really the kind of "past action" that should be punished by permanent unemployment?

This sounds like the Cultural Revolution.
Steve Yegge Sucks
I have come to the realization that Steve Yegge sucks. Early in my career I idolized the guy for his blog posts, and I played Wyvern in middle school and loved it - but the guy's twitter activity, and some of his writings I came accross recently paint him as a mean, arrogant, hypocritical, exclusionary, human-rights-not-giving-a-fuck-about societally clueless shitty tech person stereotype.

He's recently taken to loving hard on Amazon, check out this tweet: https://twitter.com/Steve_Yegge/status/1371572461624463360 . I guess in his old age and wealth, he forgot that he hated it when he worked there because of how they treat people.

In his recent tirades against Google, he focuses on one thing and one thing only - market dominance and bottom line. He keeps going out against Google because they "aren't innovating anymore" and "have grown fat and lazy" and looks jealously at Amazon and all of the "innovation" they have. Anyone familiar with Amazon knows that they are not a smart company. They take the good ideas and innovations of other companies, organize them well from a business perspective, and exploit their workers maximally to scale their business and achieve market dominance. What Steve Yegge is endorsing when he endorses Amazon is their ability to take other people's ideas and turn them into engines of exploitation of engineers and warehouse workers. He doesnt care about any of Amazon's human rights abuses. He doesn't care about any of Google's human rights abuses either - he only cares about these corporations ability to exploit people for profit.
The mechanism described in the article is that Asian economies are business as usual, but European and American activity has slowed because of the pandemic, so there's lots of demand to ship from Asia, but nothing coming back.

This makes sense, but at a macro level it can't have too large an effect on shipping rates: at worst, you need to pay for a round trip to bring back the empty container, instead of a one way journey. A 100% increase, which is a lot in most contexts, but oil prices (the other main marginal cost in shipping) fluctuate by that much three years out of ten.

Container shipping is so cheap these days that I don't see this effect killing the margins of many businesses.
For heavens sake, "business or pleasure?" was the question you were asked at the border before getting a stamp in your passport once upon a time.

So a business card turned into a pleasure card, which has nothing to do with sex at all, except for people who want to see things that aren't there.

It's one of RMS's quaint re-namings, and people turn it into something sinister.

> Women at MIT were warned away from him, told to keep plants to ward him off.

That may have been a joke or they didn't want to listen to his preaching. Anecdotal hearsay anyway.

> he told one woman he would kill himself if she didn't date him.

How did he say that? Most likely as a joke, which millions of people have done.

But hey, let's focus on Stallman who wasn't even involved with Epstein himself instead of the people that Epstein collected dossiers about. Those would be the interesting ones, but perhaps some corporate or political interests don't allow it.
I suppose the leaders have to be outraged right?

Defending him would require taking an actual stance on the matter. It's far more convenient to just go along with the cancel crowd and say Stallman is a sexist, or whatever.
Join Us Tomorrow Night on Clubhouse
Wanted to invite the HN community to a Clubhouse event tomorrow (Thurs) @ 5-6:30 pm PT.

We host a virtual meet-up/podcast called Tha Yard. We simulate the experience of being incarcerated, hanging out on the yard with our guests.

Tomorrow, we have the amazing Shaka Senghor (3.8M Clubhouse followers). Convicted of murder, he did 21 years max security, including 8 in solitary. Upon release, wrote a NYT best-seller ("Writing my Wrongs"), buddies w/Oprah, Pres Obama, Ben & Felicia Horowitz. Very powerful story to share.
This doesn't actually make sense. Of course it matters how likely the outcome is. We all routinely engage in behaviors for which the worst possible outcome is certain death and we do so because that outcome is rare enough that the benefits outweigh the risk.[0] The base rate matters a lot.

[0] Many of these activities, like, say, driving a car, are probably orders of magnitude more dangerous than, ahem, talking to your neighbor.
I’m using one as a daily driver (red teaming) and it easily handles a couple busy vms, term, few services, editor, obsidian, slack/teams/whatever and browser.. I stopped even bothering carrying the charger with it..

Sometimes I look at activity monitor and it is swapping a bit but I don’t notice any perf degradation so I stopped thinking about it.. shrug

Excellent post, thanks for sharing.
I definitely think the tendencies you’re describing are maximized in the JS ecosystem, but it isn’t clear to me if it’s something about the specific language or culture/tooling... or if it’s just where so much of the industry grunt work is getting done.

And so much of the industry everywhere is about “do X to get Y result” and any further reflection is kindof a luxury. How does your package manager work? Part of the point is not to know, which works until it doesn’t. So we all get trained into basically a culture of issuing commands in a manner not too different from the machines we ask to do the work, and developing a model of what’s going on is either bonus study or earned by running your hands over the sharp edges when you’re bucked onto the unhappy path.

Which definitely happens outside of JS. I suspect it happens more inside because JS functions as maybe the biggest funnel into the field.
Come now, every Stallman thread is a scarecrow convention, why single me out? Even my attempts at being reasonable and civil get voted down, I should at least be able to get my endorphine hit once in a while like everyone else.
I think the 500 limit is a max bitrate setting, independent of any specific codec. If you deliver audio+video you will need to consider exactly how much of the bandwidth you use for audio. But when doing audio only, simply using the highest possible bitrate seems to be a reasonable choice. In most cases the network will set limited.
ASML machines include a large amount of technology from the US, and so can be controlled under US export control laws.

A country is free to develop all those technologies locally and not face US export control, but that's such a difficult task that nobody has achieved it.
They can be blocked but not in a simple way for most users. If it was a preference synced with iCloud or at the very least in system preferences I’d be okay with it but I shouldn’t have to fight with my OS. Plus I had to unblock ocsp.apple.com at one point because it was causing an issue with something else.

In any case, defaults matter.
As much as I love the idea of being out in nature, the thought of leaving the city I was raised in, my entire family behind and of the opportunities, experiences and quality of life that come with living in a place that for the most part prioritizes people, is a non-starter. I’ve lived out in more suburban places for a few years and I couldn’t imagine going back to needing a car to do practically anything. I’d much rather dedicate my energy advocating for solutions rather than leave everything I have behind.

>Well, hopefully this will help clean the free software movement from all those people who think no non-neurotypical person should be in a position of power.

Literally no one has argued that.

People have argued that Richard Stallman shouldn't hold positions of power because his behavior and his beliefs make people feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. No one has ever claimed that Richard Stallman shouldn't be in a position of power because he is non-neurotypical, assuming that he is.
There’s an open letter in support of RMS as well:

Its interesting that the job description for an admin position at Reddit advertises that the company will and has tools to scrub successful employees personal information from the web at large.

Looking at pictures of highways from before caralytic converters and you notice that each lane had a pure black stripe from the exhaust.
Agreeing how? By using valtio you avoid needing to know most of that list, by using redux you.. don't.

Also, you can easily wrap valtio with:

const createStore = (name, store) => {
if (window.stores[name]) throw 'store already exists'
window.stores = {
...window.stores
[name]: valtio(store)
}
}

And boom, you can see every store just like redux.
Back when I bike-commuted, I used to pick routes and times for biking based on smog levels. I'd rather double my time on the road than arrive coughing from breathing exhaust.
The existence of the supposed Old English word “*wermann” is hypothetical; I often see an argument of symmetry made, but the word is not ever attested as far as I know. It does not exist in any dictionary or corpus search I tried; and I've seen multiple others say that they see modern speech of it, but cannot find it in a single actual O.E. text.

The word for male human was “wer”, for female human was “wīf”, and while “wīfmann” and “wīfcild” are attested, “*wermann” and “*wercild” remain hypothetical and are unattested.

Perhaps the word existed, and it would no doubt be understandable to any speaker of Old English, but it did not show up in any text, nor did any of it's descendants survive into modern English.

There is a general trend in languages for female terms to display markedness, consider that there is no term for a specifically male actor in modern English either, though in some contexts male terms display it, such as the coinage of the word “murse” to refer to a specifically male nurse.

Neutrality of words in actual use is not so simple, in any case, though it is true that the word could clearly be used to describe human beings regardless of sex, as it still sees use today:

> God ġesċōp æt fruman twēġen menn, wer and wīf.

> God created at the beginning, two men, a male, and a female.

Usage of “mann” in O.E. to identify a single, singular female man was quite rare, as it still is today, outside of compounds such as “crewman”, but some attestations do exist, similar to the Latin “homō”, for which it was similarly rare and other words were typically used.

One may be left to conclude that, though it was theoretically possible, it was stylistically not common, similar to how, perhaps, the word “actor” was used a century back where “actress” was quite often used for a female actor, al the while acknowledging that “an actor”, hypothetically speaking, could be any sex, and “actors” could easily be used for a mixed-sex group.
Sounds great to me! Can't go wrong with a nice looking preview ;)

Also I forgot to say I really appreciate you giving this away for free online. It is clear you put a tremendous amount of time and effort into making this.
One of the first things I was taught in math class at university. If there are two potential solutions, one extremely unlikely but quick to verify, and one more likely but hard to verify, start by the very unlikely one!
> Having a bed in his office at MIT is creepy as hell.

My understanding is that he slept (ie. lived) in his office, so having a bed there would be normal, not "creepy as hell."

Also, many professors have beds in their labs in case of long-running experiments. I've seen them and thought it was practical.

I read all of the related links about Stallman and didn't see any actual evidence.

What's odd about the US left is that they support Islam, which allows child brides as young as 9 yo (it happens every day.) Think about that for a moment before you get outraged about Stallman's personal views. So leftists, stop being creepy yourselves and get your own house in order before criticizing other people.
Any paper filter is fine. The lack of one is what will really do you in.

Following the irreparable failure of my poorly designed and manufactured drip coffee machine, I tried the French press and kettle I'd bought for a camping trip years back and, after that trip fell through, never found occasion to use. The coffee was much better, with a creamy taste and mouthfeel that I'd never experienced before in the beverage, so I didn't bother replacing the drip machine. About a month later, I had my first gallstone.

Since then, I've been using a paper filter - the same cheap recycled ones I used in the drip
machine - along with the mesh and plate filters that come with the press. It cost me the creaminess that came with the oils which a paper filter removes, but that first gallstone has also so far been my last, so it's a trade I'm happy to make. Kidney stones are much worse, as I have also had the misfortune to learn, but that doesn't make gallstones pleasant.

That said, even with the paper filter, the coffee's still quite a bit better. Between that, my newfound mistrust of drip machine engineering, and the pleasant physicality that assembling, using, and cleaning the press provides in my morning routine, I expect to stick with it indefinitely.

(You can see the difference between filtered and unfiltered coffee. Unfiltered, it has a deep golden sheen caused by light reflecting from tiny droplets of oil emulsified throughout the liquid. Quite lovely
to look at, and very pleasant to drink - until one or another of your organs packs up under the load. Given how easy it would seem for oils already so dispersed to enter the bloodstream, I suppose I'm lucky it was just my gallbladder complaining, and not my heart...)
Absolutely. But she isn't accused of child rape, she is accused of exercising terrible judgement which is also very bad PR for Reddit involving employing a subsequently convicted child rapist who happened to be her father, apparently in the belief he was not dangerous and also standing by her partner after his very offensive erotica was revealed.
(of course it's possible to argue that this raises very serious concerns about her ability to identify and deal with dangerous behaviour and possibly even sympathies for it, but the same goes for certain kinds of offensive speech)
IMO, Svelte’s biggest issue is it didn’t come out of FAANG.
Thanks for liking my approach !

Finding the title was a really hard task. I asked myself existential questions for a couple of days about it. I agree with you it's not perfect.

I think one of the points that the post you replied to is trying to make is that it is important to recognize this as an instance of cancel culture, whether it is appropriate in this case or not.

Cancel culture is a powerful weapon. Like all weapons, it does not care where it is pointed. It can be used both for good or for ill. We ignore that characteristic at our peril.

(Obligatory disclaimer: I have no opinion on the person at the center of this and do not particularly care to form an informed opinion. I am more interested in this on the societal-level than the this-incident level.)
I mean... I guess they could be intentionally inducing the flakiness and running into the network closet for dramatic effect.
I'm very curious who/why at Reddit decided she was a good hire for that position. And the husband too.

I think that's a much more interesting question than another to and fro about cancel culture.

I object! The docs and examples are fantastic.
> 4 continents

Isn't that six? Eurasia, Africa, Australia, North America, South America, and Antarctica, with India noted as "sub-continent" and Asia sometimes distinguished within Eurasia by mountain ridges.
There are some problems with doing business in Latin America. Corruption (which manifests itself as bureaucracy that can commonly be accelerated by greasing palms) and taxation are both fairly high in many places. It's not all about how much you pay your workers.

In my opinion the potential for a greater Pan-American economy is the number one counterargument to Chinese global dominance. We have almost everything we need, right here in the Americas.

They not only have no truble in buying it they likely have one or two systems.

But this systems are not easily produced neither fastely so between ordering them and getting them over a year might pass.

More importantly just having them doesn't allow you to actually use them properly. They are in a way quite a "raw" tool and the exact details of how you use them make major differences. And even if you know the best way to use them, that still doesn't mean you know the best way to create chips with them. Because chip layout (in it's details) has to be designed to fit the production process. Not doing so will lead to bad yield and or bad max. perf clock etc. Sometimes just improving how you layout some things while still using the EUV system the same way can make a major difference.

So it's not easy at all to switch.

I'm still positive they will long term manage to do so.

But it will take some time.

Which is why some parts which are not to much of their core business but can largely profit from TSCMs manufacturing process will be produced by them. And maybe as a bonus they will learn a trick or two from TSCM.

I don’t think any of your arguments in favour of react are sufficient. JQuery had a huge number of libraries and could be used to make websites that worked. Angular was backed by Google who generally have more clout than Facebook. I think most comparisons would find that jQuery does not solve the same problems and that angular resembles the kind of steaming brown thing one might find behind a cow—and that’s before you consider backwards compatibility.

I would argue that react has some particular merits (for three the whole vdom based architecture, using jsx, and unidirectional data flow), that it was the first (widely known) framework with those merits, and that it has generally been backwards compatible or only required simple changes. I think these do a better job of explaining why react became popular and inertia explains why it is still popular.
I would like to say no, because the admin in question very likely lied about her background, and you'd think that would be enough to get someone fired once it leaks out. In any event, her background would seem to make her unfit for a job as Reddit admin.

The fact that Reddit had to have known about her background no later than 3/9, when special protections were put in place, complicates this.

It's possible that they were just taking time to get their (legal) ducks in a row before firing her. I've seen that happen, where a coworker who was creeping on younger female coworkers had his desk moved, and was only let go a month later.

Or maybe Reddit thought it was a great idea to have her as an employee given her background, and only fired her when it became a big deal. In that case it would be a cancellation.
