I understand your point, but what I was asking for is a non-ideological distinction. Every point you have made is from the ideological position that supports liberal democracy, but those who support people’s democracy would levy the same accusations in reverse. I’m not interested in hearing either of those points of view, because there simply cannot be a productive discussion on those terms.

I would like to understand the empirical situation. You suggest that I’m equating the two, but I’m actually just ignorant on the _substantive_ arguments. If you would be kind enough to enlighten me on that front, I would truly appreciate it.
~1 week ago. It had been an ongoing issue for the past few months.
What makes a voice persuasive
Unlike Google, Microsoft is not primarily an ad-tech surveillance company. They're mostly a business software/services firm at this point.

Maybe it's a minor distinction, but I think it's a real one.
I'm seeing downvotes for this and I am here to learn- where am I misguided? Is there a convincing argument to install this program? Let me know, I just want to understand what I may be unaware of, to receive the new information, and then if it makes sense I will correct my decision.
Once upon a time... I left IRC, and when doing so I ended up hooking up with some of my friends from IRC on Skype. After much complaining about the poor state of Skype for Linux and Skype on Mobile, I left Skype for Discord somewhere around 2015. Is it time to leave Discord for IRC again? :)
Sure, I’m alluding more towards, for example, the existence of hydrogen itself versus the beginning of life on earth which comes much later.
Right now, using resold T-Mobile via Calyx on their hardware.

Lots of good resources out there. https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/ do a lot of review and news on the topic.

5G, multiplexed LTE and Starlink are popular options. Some devices out there allow you to intermix radios via standard mini PCIE modules.

Depending on the duration of your stint, I believe the official stance from Starlink is that your device be readily configured to your current location by calling customer support.
It's confusing because they refer to "200nm" in the same article.
First line of the abstract of the paper:

>Recent evidence suggests neurogenesis is on-going throughout life but the relevance of these findings for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) is poorly understood.
Using tools made by FB doesn't imply support for the company. Ultimately having FB open source React/RN has been great for open source - by the time it hits public release it's already been battle tested internally.
Also try to figure out why would the current derogatory term for slaves in South Africa have its origin in the word meaning "the unbeliever" in Arabic, i.e. one who's not an adherent of certain religion, as used in their religious texts:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaffir_(racial_term)#Etymology

Or that it wasn't an accident that the founder of the said religion, the eternal "role model", was a slaveowner himself.
End-user technology (as opposed to military) starts to play a broader and broader role in political events those days, and places like HN are a very good place to have people actually designing those tools realize what the implication are for real people around the world.

As an example, this video made me instantly realize how much there is a need for truely decentralized technology, that no government could shut down.
I already knew it of course, but now i have the faces of those students in my mind. I happen to be working on encryption for a messaging app at the moment.
> dust in the wind and have no lasting permanence or value

You mean like the massive russian "troll farms" that have effectively coerced people into political beliefs, or places like /r/RedPill that have galvanized young males to be ant-feminine, or WSB where thousands of people have placed savings into Gamestop. Want me to go on?

So yes there is most definitely a social contract. Just because you don't believe the information, doesn't mean others don't as well.

> It's not social. There is no contract.

You should probably read up on what "social contract" means: https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/glossary/social-contract-...
I know exactly what they are talking about. Accountants nudging their way into shit they aren't qualified to weigh in on. Because they see dollars signs attached and have somehow been allowed to take a seat at the helm of a company or sphere of influence they nag at engineers and insert themselves into product design. Their only contribution is to bitch about why this or that material costs so much.

Yeah, the accountants cracked the case...we can finally ignore the aviation engineers. Whoops...plane went down. Engineers fault.
the policy decisions of admins that affect the overarching site are not to be discounted of course, but other than a few 'common' connected areas that are heavily frequented and interconnected by either content or more significantly shared users, the site is basically a giant platform for hosting community forums. You can set up your subreddit for whatever topic/niche and exist in those. There's no reason to see /r/all or anything of the major things if you're hanging out in the your followed subs - you are basically silo'd from any of this drama, roving outrage etc. It's just a large site hosting a bunch of discussion boards. The other use being 'on the pulse' of new link sharing and topics because of sheer number of users surfacing up new content. Which is what Digg was until the exodus (that was mainly about a revolt against a redesign, which threw Reddit, an almost dead site at the time, a huge bone and set us on a course to today)
Hello jjice,

Thanks for those kind words, I tried to cover a lot of topics. Consequently it makes a lot of pages!

I hope that the content will help you !
Do not hesitate to contact me if you spotted an error or if you want to suggest an improvement.
I really don't get this are you in some super poor country? No offense intended. I'm an IT manager of a mediocre real estate company and I have a decked out home office with all the new toys and with a mini data center that could power a medium size office. In all probably totaling in the mid 5 figures. All company paid and I doubt they remember I exist most days. Where are these tech first companies that barely allow a CTO to scrape by with no resources?
It was really difficult for me to buy a new car last year. Customized orders are totally impossible right now. Whatever they might have in stock (or have arriving soon), that's what you can choose from.

You describe a lot of things that factually are signs of a bad technology.

> One candidate wanted their contract to state that they could spend half of their paid time working on their OSS project. We passed.

I like the dudes honesty. He would not be doing OSS while pretending he is working for you. He is also leaving himself time for other things.

It seems to me like fair way of doing things. Company like yours passes and maybe another one will take it.
Well, I felt the same way as OP and came to the comments to see if it was just me. I appreciated finding out it wasn't.
The polarisation is actually a good thing. As long as it's about stuff that doesn't matter for the normal economic activity. If they can still work with each other and live in mixed communities it's all fine.

They can always hope that their side will be on top in few years and restrain themselves. Such polarisation is no more dangerous than polarisation around sports teams.

And channeling and managing people's hatered is very important for stability. Otherwise it could be directed towards system of power as a whole, or the rich, or some ethnic group.

This is a big general unanswered question in our society when it comes to "disreputable" people whether they be criminals or involved in some serious scandal. The goto answer is to ban them from everywhere. They should not ever get a job, house, or have any associates. This seems dark to me, but most people seem to just accept it.
I think people take their favorite books and just forget them in places. I found a copy of robert anton wilson's 'prometheus rising' which was a fun read but old copies are pretty hard to find stolen from libraries and stuff
Are we not? Current protocols eliminate almost all chances of taking over a plane with box cutters. People now know what is up and will risk a laceration to take out some homeboys when they know it means certain death if they don't
It's more like decades, not years, by now. Seems worthwhile.
Was going the say the same, it's "Industrial" for me, but I've also heard the term referred to "Intelligent".
>The point was that the list of admins that could be 'doxxed' wouldn't include Alexis Ohanian or any admin that actually posts under their real name.

What? Alexis Ohanian doesn't post under his real name, he posts under u/kn0thing. And it isn't a recent thing, that has been his username from the very beginning.

I'm using SSH more and more, and this is all stuff I want to be able to do. I'd love to pass a specific bashrc and vimrc.

I feel like it's hard to keep track of what's going on when I have 10 keypairs for git and remote servers.

Is it bad practice to use more than one SSH keypair? Do you have some kind of dashboard that can provide more verbosity about what each one's for or how it's configured with tags or something...

Nothing is 100%. Clearly the chances of leaving doors wide open is much more dangerous than locking them.
It's just pointing out that all political power in this world is ultimately held through the direct or indirect threat of violence. It's not a moral judgement but a fact of the world.

If my "politics" disagrees with those of the state, in that I don't believe people have a right to personal property, and that the police have no right to arrest me, then ultimately what will happen is violence against me by the state.

There are many different definitions of "downfall". Nobody's suggesting the US ride in and dethrone the CCP, leaving a power vacuum in its wake. There are several reasons that would (and should) never happen.

All I'm suggesting is that there is rot at the heart of the CCP, which over time could hopefully eat away at their effectiveness, favorability, and eventually their power over Chinese society. Even then I'm not holding my breath, but it's a nice thought.
When "being transphobic" is used to mean "supports transgender people and custom pronouns but objects to one specific pronoun due to his interpretation of grammatical rules" (while a dictionary result for "transphobic" says "having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against transsexual or transgender people"), then, yeah, "being transphobic" is not especially bad and arguably not bad at all. In which case it's quite easy for "making a false and professionally-damaging claim" to be worse than that.

I'll also note the redirection rhetoric (the subject was a criticism of the open letter).
+1. UI is a little basic, they could add basic shortcuts (like create a new note command+n), but security and transparency can't be beat.
Remember that it's not just one core - that's what makes a GPU so powerful. My understanding is it's hundreds or thousands of 1.1v cores, which adds up to the 500w.

EDIT - wait, what GPU draws 500w? I can't find one.

Can confirm.

In Juneau the best place to find them between salmon runs is near the landfill.
I think the confusion is around the phrase "spin up," which usually refers to the starting of a process or machine. I think what you meant is that developers can write an HTTP service in a day--referring to the speed of development for Node.js.
Figures you have to look at to be scared about in this space is an RTX 3070 can pull 250 watts and the core is 1.2v (I haven’t confirmed this) then the card can be sucking up an average of 200 amps. Which is a lot. Peak currents can be a lot more than that too.
I mean, at some point, the folks who do background checks during hiring would have flagged this as a risk, and I can't see the company proceeding to the offer stage once they were aware. I mean this purely from a corporate risk-avoidance perspective. But, I guess reddit might not adhere to this approach.
I just think it's amusing that Discord is worth more than all of ZeniMax and its subsidiaries/their collective IP combined.

> we've had many people in the past who've interviewed very well but turned out to be completely incompetent when assigned to a real project.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with coding test. Timed with internet. The one that does not tests for algorithms, but for basic competency. For example, ask them to parse some data out of xml file and give them tons of time. That will check competency without being burden.

Yes, non tech managera sux at recognizing who is good programmer in discusion. But, so do programmers and technical people. It is easy to pretend competence if you read enough blogs and can project right attitudes.
I think it's a huge distinction. Google's entire business is built on tracking users and serving ads based on that tracking data.
I'm glad to hear putting hamburger menus in all the window title bars is prioritized over having a functioning UI.
Similar story here - during my PhD my lab worked mostly in perl & C, but for my purposes R was a better fit. Some years down the line, I grew frustrated & moved to python, where I've been ever since. In my postdoc lab we're mostly leaning R, though a few of us are on python. I suspect newer members will be mostly python.
Time to consider IRC and Jitsi.
Those VRMs are not that expensive, and you can't realistically move them far away from the load without constantly under- or over-voltaging the transistors you're trying to power.

Your power company does not deliver 5 volts to your house for your phone charger, nor does it transport 240 VAC more than a few parcels.
I look to my art manager colleagues (I work in video games) with some envy, because their interview process is easier due to art candidates having portfolios.

We just don't have that in the software industry, at least not portfolios that we can legally share or that other employers would trust, so we end up essentially torturing each other with coding tests.

I don't think everyone having a portfolio of open source code is a reasonable ask, but the idea of portfolios, if we could create them, would bring some sanity to our industry's interview practices.

Yeah, I like Rich Hickey’s critique of semantic versioning. Major version changes just overload the name and cause confusion: if you must break compatibility, fork and rename.

Don't Hinge Your Life Earnings on Technical Skills Alone
Exist an incredible good reason: Because MOST of the tools we must/need to use have atrocious performance.

Not bad. Terrible.

I use Rust, and I like as language. But is terrible experience for compile times. I know what a good one is (Delphi, Pascal) and after it no single compile time language get it close (with exception of GO).

The terrible thing is that the base of all is C/C++/JS and their toolchain is the SLOW incarnate. Then even if I dodge the use of them, I still get impacted, eventually.

For example, I use TailwindCSS... that is great. But it use node. Node is terrible. I must use the speedier machine I can pay because soon or later I will deal with node, c++/llvm/c, Android Studio (damm!) Android emulator (mega damm!) and other tools like that.

And the tricky part ("why not just not use them?") is that they are terrible at performance but maybe good for something else (or: I must use them... I'm contractor!).

So only IF I have total control and can supply my needs with better tools I could use a old machine of the past. But I can't.
Hahahaha damn! This made my day!
I guess that's why we have options. I like Gnome. It's by far my favorite DE. I don't want my screen cluttered up with stuff. I know what I've got running, and finding anything is really easy: Super + type whatever I'm thinking, and presto, it's there.
Ungoogled Chromium
Not using Launchpad nor multiple desktops (like you, I find two monitors are enough), but exposé mapped on hot corners is very useful, to either switch to an invisible app, or access the desktop. A quick mouse move to the top-right (with mouse acceleration, you don't need the movement to be long, just fast), and there you go.
One of the best things about macOS is how well integrated the touchpad is with the desktop environment. As in, I can do the four-finger swipe to move between workspaces, and if I drag it slowly and halfway, then yank back, the animation will follow my movements exactly.

Seems Gnome now has a bunch of those features. Are there any touchpads for which it's this well integrated and works? Or is it the same that it's always been: there's some kind of binary "gesture" recognizer that is then executed with a pretty animation?

This is one of the biggest things keeping me on macOS at the moment.
Is agent forwarding as simple as adding the -A flag?
What additiomal info will agent-forwarding provide in the remote session? Dotfiles?
I think that it would be useful to add a <noscript> block which links to the raw data (and ensure that curl can be used to download it). This is useful if the user wishes to use their own software to deal with it (perhaps LibreOffice; I don't know what other Free software is compatible with Excel, but someone might have one).
That's why I said Alexis Ohanian or any admin that actually posts under their real name, yes. You can't dox the real life identity of a founder whose username is public knowledge, or somebody who posts under their real name and will be addressed with their real name in replies. You could dox a lot of the others.

(All of which is moot anyway if the interventions were manual. Their PR would have been probably been a lot better blaming an anonymous human admin and reinstating the post too...)
I'm sorry, I was totally on board and in full agreement with your comment until you mentioned IBM. Am I correct in understanding you're calling Watson a successful recovery for IBM? Jobs returning to Apple, sure. But I don't think I know anyone that would describe IBM as anything other than a flagging behemoth. Please, feel free to convince me otherwise, maybe I missed something.
This might be just a matter of what I've gotten used to, but I have the "Activities" view (which shows previews of open windows, as well as the dock-like thing for launching applications) bound to the super/windows key which is nearly always very easily accessible.

If I'm switching windows and I'm not alt-tabbing, I usually just hit the super key and select the window from the thumbnails/previews.

I don't find that to be unproductive, but then, I haven't really been even trying to change the basics of my desktop or experimenting much in a while, so it might be that I've just settled for it to some extent.

If I had to first move the mouse to one location in order to get a list of windows, and then again to another location to select the window I want, I don't think that would work at all. But with a very easily accessible keyboard shortcut for the first part it does.
We as a society are going to have to reckon with how fragile our silicon supply chain is eventually... It seems like every other year we hear about a fab fire here, or a fab flooding there, and then seeing prices rise by 200% for months.
On the contrary, it's the most significant thing I could imagine: The Admin Feels Free To Do Anything.
