Ask HN: Looking for old HN post of GitHub project that is internal eng. handbook
A year or three ago I saw a great post here that was a link to a GitHub repo. The link had guidance for new engineers joining their company on what they should learn or know and (I think) how to go about gaining those skills.

It was like an internal handbook they opensourced.

Anyone remember this? Looking for the link. I searched all my GitHub stars and HN upvotes and no luck so far.

IMO bending to activists and political winds is within the same realm of what OP mentioned. There is a LOT of money to be made by following the trends and in today's world, activism and politicizing is the name of the game.
English is a great lingua franca IMO because of its inherent decentralization and willingness to accept new words. There is no academy regulating its use, as is the case with French and Spanish.
If you allow the Z specification language, you could also add its relative B: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-Method

The claim that G-code is also referred to as the G programming language surprised me. But what do I know.

>In a Christian community you can't deny Christ.

There are plenty that do. Maybe some of the fundies dont...But the entire point of Christianity is to welcome non-believers and convert them. And plenty of Protestants and even most Roman Catholic congregations I have seen are very much that way.

Especially when a school is involved.

> In a Dungeons and Dragons community you cant call everyone a nerd and tell them to play Call of Duty.

Well of course not. That would be like...the opposite of my point.

>In the Black community you can't be a white woman with hair extensions and claim be to be the victim of discrimination.

Of course not. But having grown up relatively poor and in a minority of my neighborhood at that time, if you were to ask anyone from my neighborhood if i was a part of THAT community I bet they would say yes. And they absolutely were willing to fight with me/defend me when i was singled out for my, get this, race. I know plenty of members of the black community that are fine to sit down and listen to my opinions on some certain topics, again its all about respect and approach. I know plenty that would hear me out and dismiss me, and plenty that would shut it down (and i wouldnt even bother voicing in the first place).
Not that i agree with the GP comment, but isn't that exactly the point of courts?

Eg death threats and all sorts of illegal wording are inaccurate in the literal, programming sense. Humans (courts/etc) interpret and ultimately rule if a set of vague concepts is in violation.

If it wasn't for this capability it would be hilariously easy to avoid almost all repercussion from written/spoken word by just adding a dash of vagueness to the subject. Throw in a pinch of speaking in code and you'll never be charged for any crime, yay!

I loosely agree with you, but lets not pretend that english is even remotely as well defined as a programming language in all cases.
Can't have contributions when the images likely aren't even under a license that would allow use like this. I guess it's better not to say where they are from and hope people don't notice...

The image of the girl lying on the floor is a screencap from the "Whisper of the Heart" movie. I doubt it's licensed. Various "lo-fi" YouTube channels used to do that as well, but got copyright strikes and changed to original artwork.

Logica compiles to SQL. It is semantically equivalent but not syntactically so the gain has to be in differences in the grammar.

I see that one can create predicates (functions) with parameters as a means for code re-use. I could also see that having implications for testability. That's interesting.

I could see how one could build a DSL with Logica to make fairly tricky queries easier. That's interesting.

Has anyone used this? If so could you explain how are SQL functions called? Do they have to specifically exist in Logica or are they just assumed to exist in SQL? (I'm thinking about geographic functions in particular for example. Are window functions also possible in Logica?

"prejudices" was a bad wording. I'm sorry to have ignited that much emotional heat which deters from good discussion culture. My usage of "prejudice" was the best kind of correct: technically correct. I was thinking about how nearly everyone that I had a personal discussion with lost their view point about how subsidizing STI tests was a bad idea after I told them about personal experiences of some acquaintances of mine. So those people were (technically) prejudiced, as a close inspection of such cases changed their judgement.

Nonetheless, the word itself has strong connotations and it's mostly neither nice nor effective to tell someone to their face that they are prejudiced. And I can't assume it to be the case about a potential reader of my post.

Regarding whether it is good policy, even with a conservative value system, my sibling comments have already presented most of the points I would make.

The following is based on the assumption that more and more stuff is going into earth orbit over time.

As others have noted, putting satellites in lower orbits, below 500km or so, definitely helps with keeping things tidy.

Beyond that, robust regulation about ensuring that very little or no additional non-useful stuff is placed into orbit is also good. That is, require everything that isn't useful to deorbit right away or relatively quickly, and have the ability to deorbit at EOL.

What's beyond all that is the set of all things in orbits that aren't useful and that will naturally stay up there for a long time, in addition to any NEW stuff that's added, either by error or by accident. For example, a satellite in a 1000km orbit that has everything it needs to deorbit at the ends of its life, but fails to do so for whatever reason.

As others have noted, matching orbits is a lot harder than most people realize. Specifically, it's quite energy intensive.

At this point, basic physics tells us what we must do. In order to get long-lived, useless stuff out of orbit, we need to be able to send up specifically designed stuff, and a lot of it.

In summary: the most fundamental solution to this problem is to vastly decrease the price per kg to orbit. Regulation helps, but does nothing to clean up what's already there, and to resolve the unintended addition of new junk.

Summary to the summary: the newest crop of launch providers are aggressively working on this problem by aggressively pursuing reusability.
Is disseminating a link to defamatory material illegal? Should it be? In this case, it was a link, not the content itself, which was shared. If Facebook added an excerpt, I would think liability falls to Facebook.

Also note that I'm more interested in what is moral/just, not legal according to any specific system, since this is a discussion about laws which vary across nations. The American/English system isn't necessarily ideal.
I'm a bit stumped about how to look for vulnerabilities for this. The linked tool, https://github.com/Forescout/project-memoria-detector doesn't mention the exploit and there's no list of specific vulnerabilities. Any idea folks?
Even with a 1M income you can't catch up. Their 10M grow at 10% per year, which gives 1M in the first year alone, while you can put only 0.5M after taxes. In 20 years it will take 50M to be in the top 1%.
Hey, I've been thinking and talking in another thread; I just made a comment that is completely relevant for this convo, too; the people in the discussion, as well as you, are looking at things from a different value framework as rms, the gnu project, and the fsf.
Here's the relevant comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26809646

We can agree the discussion could be handled better, and the accusations were unwarranted in context; I happily chalk that up to a misunderstanding (rms not seeing other people's lack of awareness of value framework incompatibility as a massive obstacle to conversation, instead assuming interlocutors had better information than they seemed to, in which case their behavior could have been construed as being in bad faith) - which implies 2015 rms should probably dial it down in the strength of his accusations among other adjustments. Communication is _not_ easy.

If a farmer and a forest ranger go into a patch of land, they will see the same scenery, but may have heated discussions about what to do with it. Unless they understand that one of them wants to produce food, and the other to protect the forest. And if one of them has decision-making power over the terrain, even if they have not been in there personally for a while - the argument about how what they want to do fits with the decision-maker's values needs to be made.

Of course, nobody is stopping the developers from going and doing the stuff they want to do in the first place, distributing it and, if the change is as technically important as it seems and the cards are played just right, even becoming the de-facto standard distribution of a piece of software; their changes just won't be merged into the main product for the foreseeable future.
What kind of "best effort" is signing five more delivery contracts when you aren't even sure that you can get the first few done?

> Like, the UK apparently only got something like a third the amount of AZ vaccine as expected

So just how far behind the expected production is AZ? The UK only got a third, the EU is months behind schedule and half a dozen other countries are just around the corner waiting to have their contracts fulfilled.

> and the UK contract had clauses with teeth

Yeah, that would require halfway competent politicians, not something you find in the EU.

Sounds great in theory. In practice I, like most people, only do the due diligence on stories I disagree with. When a story confirms my biases, I accept it at face value. I don't even realise I'm doing it. It's not a conscious decision.

I recently found a subreddit where people had shared an article from a newspaper with a decent reputation. The story strongly implied that the government had engaged in crony capitalism. 96% upvoted, all the comments castigating the government. Normally I would have agreed and moved on. I certainly wouldn't have spent time fact checking an article that I agreed with. Except it was about something I knew a bit about (solar energy). The article was wrong and misleading. Perhaps even "fake", considering how many people had been misled.

When I tried to correct the record on the same subreddit, there was huge pushback. People nitpicked my fact check to death. It got a small fraction of the upvotes and comments the original fake/misleading article did.

None of those people did the due diligence, like you want them to. All of them took a journalist working for a reputable newspaper at face value. Should they all go to jail now for upvoting and commenting?

> high point is determined by the added delta-v but the low point is the same as where it started

Is it the low point that is that same? I would have thought it was the current point (at time of delta-v addition), wherever that is, that must be part of the new orbit. Not that this is relevant for the topic at hand, just trying to check my understanding.
A court case for severe crimes can easily last 24+ months, so that information could be just in time to secure a conviction.
Using "latino" to refer to Spanish speakers is a doubly offensive act of US-ian cultural imperialism.

First, "latin" generally means romance language, i.e., languages descended from latin, including French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese, Catalan, and so on. Using this word to refer exclusively to Spanish makes sense only from the point of view of the USA, where the largest group of latin people are Spanish speakers. Thus, imposing this usage in an international context reeks of U.S. cultural imperialism.

Second, "latin america" was originally defined by the French in opposition to "anglo america", to designate specifically Québec, part of Louisiana, Mexico, etc; the areas of the Americas where latin languages are spoken. This excludes large swaths of the americas in Bolivia, Peru, Brasil, Mexico, where other languages are spoken (Guarani, Aymara, etc).

I consider latin or latino myself, but I wouldn't touch this US-assumption-infested "Latino Programming Language" with a ten foot pole.

This implies the experts are giving their opinions in the same style as church leaders, which is blatantly false, and probably a little dangerous to equate.

"Believe the people who will explain themselves to a degree you'll understand, and who change their opinion when new information is presented." is a more complete way of expressing that thought. There are other ways of expressing that thought, I wouldn't be surprised if `pg has an essay on this.

Skeptics are right to be skeptical, but what "skeptic" usually means in modern culture is, "intransigent". The line between healthy skepticism and dogmatic rejection of basic reasoning has blurred substantially.

Windows Update and Debloat
On my home machine, I've update to the Windows 10 October 2020 update
https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2020/10/20/whats-new-in-the-windows-10-october-2020-update/

Mainly doing so as to have access to a real Bash shell via WSL.

On another Windows machine, I had run a debloat script. Pretty sure I'd used this:

Any pointers to other debloat scripts that you've had good experience with would be much appreciated.
> Look at China with its disastrous One-child policy where there are millions of unhappy, dissatisfied men who can't marry

My optimistic view is that I think it's more that they are providing a data point rather than a conclusion. If every founder writes their experience, then maybe readers will have a large enough sample to find some signal from the noise (luck of individual founders).
> People are going to do what they want

Sure, but that doesn’t stop us from trying to influence people in other areas, so why should it stop us here. By this argument we should abolish all laws because what’s the point of telling someone “don’t murder” when “people are going to do what they want”?

Your post makes it sound like you are also against taxing cigarettes or taxing cars with big engines or banning guns since we should not (or it would be pointless) to influence behavior in such ways.
I think the test here could/should be of visible and definite authorship. A NYT article, with a byline, shared removes the onus from the disseminator. If the article is wrong, the liability goes back to the original author. A share with unknown provenance puts the responsibility on the person sharing. Libel stops with the sharer in this case!
I think a lot of it is simply there's a lot of frustration that crimes like this go on every day. Many people see the top levels of finance as all being tainted by fraud, stealing from ordinary workers, and this acts as confirmation for that.

Bernie's fraud imploding did motivate several suicides. Not exactly killing by his own hand, but he does bear some responsibility. We also shouldn't ignore he cravenly focused on charities as their legal requirements would give his ponzi scheme the longest runway. He also leveraged his reputation in the ultra wealthy NE Jewish community to find victims. So independent of the common outrage, I can see how a lot of people would see this as a particularly ugly betrayal.
I thought this was the US at first, but I see this crazy has spread to our neighbor.
Well, it's self-disclosure, and it could be implemented in such a way that your health information isn't really shared with anyone. A message like "One of your recent matches reported a concern about an STD. It might be a good idea to get tested." doesn't necessarily reveal much personal information.
>people just didn't want to get hired and do small works off the books instead because life was just better like that.

The blue collar industries have issues hiring junior people for exactly this reason in many of the HCOL parts of the US. Nobody in their right mind wants to suffer through a couple years as a lube and tire tech when you can work when you can get paid more fixing people's cars under the table.
Oh come on. Given that

* there's already an immense body of scientific work written in languages like Chinese and French that the English-speaking world lacks access to,

* the main goal of this language is clearly not for international collaboration or anything like that,

* not everything non-English is "political", and

* sometimes people just want to teach kids programming without having to teach them words in an unfamilar language, too,

your comment comes across as thoroughly nonsensical.
Thank you very much for these kind words! This article has been a long time in draft mode because I was not happy with the way I phrased everything...I am really glad that I was able to articulate something that rings true with you :-)
>> that maybe the “conservatives” are correct to be “prejudiced” against it?

Because the most vocal "conservatives" are often the ones that, in private, are the most casual about sex. Not a day goes by without a news story about a conservative politician caught in some sexual scandal/coverup/fiasco. It is to the point that if I see any powerful man advocating abstinence I just assume he has a couple girlfriends stashed somewhere. Thou doth protest too much.

Exactly. The word “superbugs” implies antibiotic resistance, and anyone who is skeptical or curious about the connection between factory farms and antibiotic resistance due to HUMAN activity can look it up.

I could go to the nth degree and speak about how capitalism creates a lot of negative externalities, including factory farming, pollution, depression and the current state of the news.

Well, what's the average time to a $100B IPO?
The obvious problem with your suggestion is that the Fed has driven interest rates to an all time low in response to low inflation. The corporate savings rate has risen at the expense of the household savings rate (from 2000 to 2019). Cities give businesses massive tax credits which are free money for large corporations.

There is not much you can do to help private corporations at this point, you've already given them all the support they could possibly get. If nobody bites, that's on them.

Meanwhile low skill workers barely get any support. An infrastructure bill gives them work and keeps the towns and cities from falling apart.
