The point is that in many of these communities where retail jobs have been absolutely decimated (because of Amazon), working for Amazon is often the only game in town
I tried subrepo and ran into some dumb error right away. I went with subtree and it worked well, but I needed to write a script for others to use it to update (but the system already had one, just didn't work well). I just can't say it is okay to not have a script like nobody has a script for git pull.
Not really. What if people thought the method used for slaughtering was inhumane and they preferred a different method. Then the motivation is not based on hostility towards a minority.
I'll throw out an idea I mentioned in another comment.

I feel like if you're a guy like Epstein and you do that stuff at scale. I suspect you actually are really good at judging people as far as "is this person going to be cool / interested in this" and identifying the folks whom it would be risky to let on about some of that dark stuff. In fact it seems like he would be likely REALLY good at all that and related such manipulation.

Other cases like at Michigan State you had a lot of people who knew about the guy there, but also near to him folks who it would seem really didn't know / didn't have anything to hide.
None of that makes Warren above criticism.

And if you think America isn't minting a lot of new conservatives, I think you've been sleeping the last 6 years. Conservatives just had the biggest voter turnout that they've had since Ronald Reagan.

And despite our Gen X/Millenial social circles which are heavily left, Zoomers are much more conservative than us.
I can only speak for myself. In the roughly 12 years I've been using git at multiple different companies and for my own projects, I have never used git submodules. I feel like I have a good, well rounded set of experiences too. Code bases big and small, massive monorepos, and many microrepos all separate. In none of them have we used submodules.

That being said, maybe submodules would have solved some problem here or there that we had. I'm open to arguments in favor of them in that case. But we've always been able to get the work done without them, so I don't personally think they're indispensable.
Interesting. I guess some history commands output a line number in the first field?
What makes you think they're not being taught that still?

I think the "WhyLine" idea is already mainstream, at least for web UI development.

I remember back in the days, if you wanted to know "why" a html is rendered the way it is, you just had to change/delete random parts of it and see what breaks. After firebug was introduced (mid 2000s?), you can just right click to inspect element and it will highlight the html element responsible for it.

Nowadays, I am reasonably happy with the type of questions that the chrome dev tools can answer with just a few clicks. Why did some network request fire? There's an initiator column that links to the source code. Why did this frame take so long to render? There's a flame graph where each bar links to source code. And there are plenty of extensions you can install to help with the particular level of abstraction you're debugging at (for example inspect React components instead of html elements).
Right, they are cowards that put their perception of some risk ahead of doing the right thing, and they only act like that when they deal with women.

Like what do they do if a man falsely accuses them of some trespass?
> Some comedian (forgot who it was) mentioned that they don't like performing in colleges anymore

Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock have stated that they are not willing to perform at colleges. There are probably more, but with smaller names.
That definitely happens, but sometimes the motivation is a bit more nuanced than just crawling to the mob. With everything so tribalised, and most people unwilling to stick their neck out and call their ingroup on its bullshit, we end up in situations where anyone expressing a dissenting opinion is quite likely to be an extremist of some kind -- or at least solidly on the 'other side' -- because they are the ones most likely to be motivated to speak up.

So if I preface an opinion with 'X, but', it may not be all about begging for the right to dissent; I may have good reason to think that, without the preface, what I say will signal some beliefs or values that I don't hold. If those things are genuinely hurtful to a vulnerable group, or simply reprehensible to me, then I have good reason to disavow them, regardless of whether I need to do so in order to be heard.

I agree with a half baked UI. It feels like they kept on tacking on more and more commands and flags to get to where we are today. But the fundamental data structures the UI operates on are rock solid though. I'm actually surprised more software doesn't use git's internals for things besides version control.
The CCP prohibited the virus's genetic sequence from being published. After a lab published it, it was shut down.

>On 11 January, Edward C. Holmes contacted Zhang for permission to publish the virus's genome. Zhang granted permission, and Holmes published the genome on virological.org that day.[1][3] The Chinese government had prohibited labs from publishing information about the new coronavirus, though Zhang later said he did not know about the prohibition.[3] The next day, the Shanghai Health Commission ordered Zhang's laboratory to close temporarily for "rectification".

It seems as if there's an idea that if we install women in corporate leadership skills we'll get better corporate governance overall. In my experience women's ego can be just as fragile as men's. And guaranteed corporate governance is not necessarily true.

One company I worked for ended up being no different than the good-ol-boy system, except all the men were women -- looking out and protecting each other, figuring out how to screw with employee's yearly reviews in order to game the system for the cabal of women leaders. This was getting to the point that the management chain was vacationing with each other in the south of France.

In one particularly painful case, they celebrated a big cloud move to AWS with T-shirts. The devops engineers who did all the painful up front work to make it happen got t-shirts. When the devops team completely turned over, they left the t-shirts hanging in their cubicles.
It also looks like Amazon bought likes for just those 2 tweets. All other recent tweets(both before and after) by that a/c get 20/30, nearly always less than 100 likes. And suddenly, these 2 tweets got ~4.8k and 9.6k?

Also tied in with the fact that those tweets weren't by the regular social media team but through a webapp by unknown.

Doesn't add up.
You were attacking and criticizing Warren (not I, as I focused on parties driven by ideas and moors), which doesn’t concern me and has little value regardless unless you vote in her state.

The greater issue is what happens when speaking truth to power garners contempt and harm instead of cooperation and humility. Enter regulation, stage right.
> I’d pay for a Linux version in a heartbeat

We should enter a world where people pay for open-source. OSS has been fine, but they never had the correct resources for marketing and UX. The should be a paywall for access to repos, even if you could theoretically find the code everywhere else, but ey, want the code updated automatically? $5 per month. (I’m paying 1% revenue for OSS but as long as it’s not everyone, it doesn’t make the developers filthy rich and able to hire UX and marketers, and that is what we need).
My brother was a warehouse worker. It paid more than other jobs he has had but it also required him to work most of the time he was on the clock relative to other jobs. He quit because of the work load, not because he was expected to pee in bottles.

Having interviewed for dev jobs at Amazon I think the reality is in the middle. Is Amazon a fun place to work? NO. Does Amazon try to abuse its employees? NO.
It is but also the price has something to do with it. They are all hundreds of dollars.
For those criticizing Warren's tweet: remember that the idea that the first amendment applies to companies is a legal doctrine that was created in the 20th century (edit: specifically in a couple of Supreme Court cases in 1975 and 1976), not something inherent to the constitution. Saying that it's not Amazon's place to participate in politics is a view that I think most of her constituents would share.
Here's a somewhere-in-the-middle perspective. I've recently been learning the mandolin, as part of a community orchestra. I can kind of read sheet music (for the piano at least) having learnt a little piano in high school. So give me some sheet music and I can work it out after a couple of tries. I can also mostly work out a song by ear (perhaps after being given a few notes). Both are really important, and use different neural pathways and feedback mechanisms (eyes -> hands vs ears -> hands).
Many people use the same methods for commercial software and open source — and think threatening to move their non-existent purchases elsewhere will light a fire under someone.

(It often doesn’t work for either.)
I have generally always liked letting customers leave. Ultimatums can easily be two way. If they threaten to quit, I can always fire them :)
How is it safer to try to wizz while driving a huge machine at speed? Are truckers peeing ad driving at the same time?
For a community like HN, where a significant part of people do work that can be mostly done from bed, I'd just like to make clear that higher pay would still not make it OK to not have an unlimited amount of bathroom breaks for jobs where there are no real physical limitations that would necessitate such limitations.
JPEG compression is calculated locally in small segments, so variations across the whole surface can still survive, each segment being independent. JPEG is not "meant" to remove detail, more like prioritize large-scale phenomena, which in this case would preserve imbalances between segments.

Ironic considering bothering to use a potty is a very, very modern sensibility.
If you have no other features ever planned around authentication or authorization, and no other planned client software, you can build what you want in directly.

OAuth provides an abstraction between the authentication, permission grant and user consent and getting a token representing authorization, and provides additional best practices for things like securing web and native app access, token revocation, token introspection, etc. You probably want to be in the business of improving your SaaS, not designing a secure access system.

That isn't to say you can't build something now with the idea that you will migrate away from that once you hit an inflection point in complexity due to new features.

You mentioned that this was seen as an exceptional case. It is exceptional. The vast majority of americans are white or male.
That is all way too much money.

Sure, change the rules. If you can get everybody to agree to it. But until then, what's legal is legal; and Amazon is within the bounds of the law.
"Almost all of the oppression we see around us can be explained by wealth disparities, corruption, and abuse of power. ... The Black Lives Matter movement was a telling example of this - police brutality is indeed an ongoing problem in society, but it doesn't just apply to black people. It's anyone the police feel they can get away with abusing. Just look at how they treat homeless people, drug addicts, and so on, regardless of race."

You're not wrong about that. But many people face further oppression based on their race, gender, and sexuality, in addition to wealth and class.
I use Debian, not because of the quality of the software but because of the bug tracking system and the mailing lists and because I know how to find the source for any package and rebuild it if I have to. Perhaps some other distributions have bug tracking systems and so on that are just as good, but it would be a lot of work for me to learn how to use them, so I stick with Debian where possible.

Beginner level guide to CPU architecture [101]
That's very good to hear. I have it running on a raspberry 3B right now but that's without it controlling my devices directly (it's through a SmartThings integration right now) and I was considering getting their custom "Home Assistant Blue" hardware. $140 feels overpriced for it, especially since I need to buy a Z-wave stick for it as well, but it would be a nice all-in-one that is "supported". If you don't mind, what Z-wave stick and hardware did you settle on?
There are significant depts in the university that are now more focused on teaching a particular angle/ideology than they are in teaching critical thinking or a survey of beliefs.
Be polite and unexpecting of any fix and do all you can in the report to make it easy to fix and you’ll be appreciated (even if just by others who find your report).

People underestimate how valuable a good bug report is - with details, minimum examples, and workarounds. Especially workarounds - as you may be the only useful response people find.
That's a nice chunk of building materials, already in space.

Also most roads are straight and modern trucks are incredibly stable. Plus cruise control exists. Peeing while driving is really easy, especially in an elevated chair seat like they use. I've done it a few times.
rg "ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore". This would have been useful when doing node.js development.
> DS-Lite which is the worst possible solution at the moment

No, CGNAT-only is the worst solution.

> everyone is going through CGNAT for the parts of the internet that are IPV4 only.

What choice do they have? There are more humans than IPv4 addresses, so if every ISP were dual-stack, the price would go to infinity. It would be more productive to complain about CGNAT-only ISPs, than those who are actually trying to fix the problem.
Thanks for pointing that out, good point. I'll actually need to think about this aspect a bit more. It still seems like the fear is more clamming than the thing being feared

The problem with this "solution" is that the risk is still too high to bother risking it. Even if the woman is unlikely to assume bad faith (and the likelihood is such, outrage mobs are a minority, even if one with too much weight for its size), nothing guarantees she won't change her mind later and assume that the criticism was because of sexism after all.

And even if one were to believe that that is unlikely too, nothing guarantees that someone else won't think it sexist. For example, I remember some panel with four scientists (three men and one woman) that was discussed in HN a while ago; at some point, someone in the audience (I think she was a journalist) yelled at the moderator to "let her speak"... Even though the scientist herself didn't think the moderator was doing anything wrong.
I get this for free with an annual UX interview, but yes I would pay for Jetbrains personally.
If more energy is spent on bitcoin, it is usually because the value of the miner reward grows and attracts more mining. Miner reward value grows due to either 1) the market value of the coin itself grows or 2) the miner fees grow. Both are market forces and ultimately depend on demand for bitcoin transactions. So I don’t see a contradiction here.
They're not just reading data, they are redistributing it.

The Git command line interface is confusing, but Git's data structure design — a content addressable store — is relatively simple (and very interesting!).

I went through the book Pro Git three times leading three different training groups, and I was pretty comfortable with it. But what took me to the next level was prepping a talk for Papers We Love San Diego which explores everything that happens inside the `.git` directory when you initialize a repo and perform a couple basic commits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHSZz_Mx-Uo

Switzerland's government isn't authoritarian. The Swiss government is the whole adult population. Every Swiss citizen over 18 can propose and vote on laws. No subset of Swiss people can force other Swiss people to do anything without approval from Swiss voters.
Whether or not they are pervasive, they should not have occurred in the first place. What kind of culture allowed this to happen even once? Why hasn't there been a statement or commitment from Amazon on fixing this, rather than doubling down on "it doesn't happen" ?

This specific Amazon incident is just one of may incidents across many major employers where workers end up suffering. Regulations should exist that prevent this from even happening, but political will doesn't seem to exist, sadly.

Blowing up this incident helps refocus the attention on trying to fix this nationwide, rather than this specific incident at amazon.
If Warren said that to a person I think it would absolutely be appalling and I get that in the current US legal system corporations have a right to free speech. I just don't think that's an intrinsic moral right the way it is for people. I think it's a valid, reasonable view that Amazon should not be able to influence politics in any way.
The problem is likely related to the one with video. Sure, I can give you an aggregated subscription but it will cost you $1,000+ per year. How many people will pay that?

(And that's around what the basic cable TV bundle cost so it's hardly out of line.)

One way to interpret Warren's tweet is "she doesn't believe that private corporations should have the ability to stand up to politicians." Another way is "she realizes that Amazon has so much political influence that it can tweet anything it wants at elected representatives without any consequences." So which is it? Is Amazon a private American corporation on equal footing with the government, simply exercising free speech, and evil Warren wants to stifle them? Or is Amazon an evil giant corporation making a PR power play because it has so much underhanded influence in politics and public opinion that it is guaranteed to make this end badly for Warren or anyone else who opposes them, and Warren is just looking to put them in check?
First paragraph of that article is incredibly spot-on! The closing paragraph was also quite prescient, no matter what side of the political parties you root for:

All of the "All Lives Matter" people I've interacted with have been trying to minimize the problems.
It shouldn't, but it amazes me that developers will do this to other developers.

I was talking generally about JavaScript and another dev who likes to surf the web without JS enabled (more power to him) mentioned how in a given case there's no reason to use JS. I mentioned a side project that I felt kinda fit that use case (in a way). This is an entirely a casual project that has no intent to do much other than explore something myself and uses JavaScript, if folks like it, that's cool, it's free.

I got litany of reasons that person would NEVER use my product that sounded a lot like an angry customer rant.

Isn't that circular logic? Everyone is afraid of something bad happens, so everyone censors themselves way too much...but it's somehow still so well known that it would happen?
Bigme S3 Color E-Reader and E-Note Review
Completely agree. Scapegoating can't have positive effects. At best, it causes what we see here: people staying silent in fear. At worst, it just alienates people and causes them to dig their heels in, doubling down on whatever bad behavior they're scapegoated for because they've got nothing left to lose. It rarely, if ever, actually improves behavior.

I recently had a conversation where the lady I was talking to basically said (paraphrasing for brevity) "all men bad, always" and I'm really not sure what she even wanted to achieve. Some kind of perceived revenge maybe? I ended up disengaging and it left me feeling rather deflated. If I'm bad by default and there's nothing I can do to change that, why care at all? Luckily I know that most women are much more reasonable so I will continue to strive to treat everybody equally and how I want to be treated.

But I do worry sometimes that even that can backfire, because I've witnessed another situation (on Twitter) where a lady complained that men who didn't get her joke tweet were mansplaining about how what she wrote was wrong, that they were explaining her (purposeful) error to her because she was a woman. Except others replied with their own versions of the joke and they too were getting "mainsplained" too, even though many were themselves men. That is, some people were misunderstanding the joke and commenting, it wasn't anything to do with her being a woman. But she turned it into a gender issue.

So if I want to treat everyone equal, but that equal treatment can be seen as mansplaining or other negative gendered thing, that makes me more likely to disengage out of fear and then I'm not treating people equally, but not out of malice or feeling of superiority, just out of fear...

Its a big problem and I don't know the answer either.
