Well, seeing as how it was created specifically to host content that moral, reasonable people would find objectionable, it's a fair association.
> But, like it or not, "a characteristic is genetic" does not mean "races are real". I suggest you catch up on the subject of human population genetics.

I mean, that's literally the definition of a race: "a population within a species that is distinct in some way, especially a subspecies".

I'm not sure arguing whether a concept is real or not real makes sense. If a concept can be clearly defined, it's "real".

This is probably true. Having lived without the ability to search any random problem and have a snippet of code there, I'm used to searching for academic papers, RFCs, or reference documentation and then build up my understanding and make an implementation that way.

There are times that I've not done this though, for example a couple of years ago I was struggling to comprehend how to convert some math from a paper into actual code (the symbols were more than a little odd and I swear a bit of the equation was missing) and yet searching Github revealed a repo where someone had produced snippets of different obscure algorithms. Not quite a cut and paste, but definitely a "read the answer".
In general I think we should be trying to eat foods that are really biologically dissimilar to humans to avoid being sickened by our foods' diseases. Plants and fungi don't seem to cause pandemics. Mammals do (SARS, covid, swine flu, possibly Spanish flu). Birds can make us sick (salmonella). Fish, mollusks, insects, probably safer, parasites aside.

For side projects, I think there is some value in not being concerned about finishing them. If you're doing them for enjoyment then they shouldn't feel like a job.

But I find defining exactly what done will be on a personal project helps a lot to get completed. I define features are the minimum necessary and once I reach those features I immediately switch to trying to release it. Releasing is always a lot of work so it's easy to put it off forever while constantly iterating on a product. But actually releasing gives a good feeling of accomplishment.

Supply chain attacks have great reach and often go undiscovered. Hence the popularity of it.

From the article:

The appeal of supply chain attacks to hackers is their breadth and effectiveness. By compromising a single player high in the software supply, hackers can potentially infect any person or organization who uses the compromised product. Another feature that hackers find beneficial: there’s often little or nothing targets can do to detect malicious software distributed this way because digital signatures will indicate that it's legitimate.

In the case of the backdoored bash update version, however, it would have been easy for Codecov or any of its customers to detect the malice by doing nothing more than checking the shasum. The ability for the malicious version to escape notice for three months indicates that no one bothered to perform this simple check.
> If we’re talking about advanced aliens showing up in person, then we probably just acquiesce to whatever they want, or die resisting.

That breaks the site guideline against insinuations of astroturfing, shillage, brigading, foreign infiltration, etc., without evidence. Please don't do that again.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

We have that rule because internet users are overwhelmingly too lax about posting such claims, which are almost all based on imagination. That's poisonous for discourse here. Real astroturfing is a different story, of course, which is why the guidelines ask you to email us at hn@ycombinator.com if you think you might be seeing that. The point is that there needs to be some data or evidence—some shred of something objective—to go on. That rules out 99.9% of these cheap internet swipes.

How is it different from what we currently have, assuming that digital pounds/dollars/whatevers are convertible with existing currency? Is existing currency not issued digitally?

Ask a man how many guys he has dated. What is the more common connotation? Which is why it is about men first and women second in likelihood. Not about precedence of importance but precedence of likelihood about the genders of the people spoken about.

While I get where you are coming from, but giving that option is a design flaw.

As Android developers, we should only be given one pipe to consume from. The system should then present the user with the ability to choose if that pipe for this particular application is going to be:

"All contacts" / "A subset of contacts" / "No contacts

And even better yet just "A subset of the values for a subset of contacts"
Just a nitpick, but Neon Genesis Evangelion came out in 1995 and Lain in 1998. They do tend to be representative of their period, i.e. 90’s tv anime productions. The early 2000’s where characterized primarily by the Big 3 Shonen Jump titles (Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece).

> Do the things that make viruses airborne also keep them from having a long gestation period and also highly lethal?

Surviving airborne before the advent of buildings meant surviving outside in direct sunlight with little in the way of protection from droplets or anything else. Organisms have a limited amount of abstract "evolutionary capital" and the costs, so to speak, of developing adaptations to survive airborne and evade an active immune system are astronomical. It's not impossible, but the two "features" work against each other during the development phase.

At least a part of it is probably the human factor. The big "PR" problem we have with fighting the epidemic is that a lot of people won't have much (visible) problems.

Side note: the linked page displays a blank screen with a cookie banner on on my old Safari along with console messages about "Can't find variable: IntersectionObserver". Yay web standards!

My Elm experience was that, even with the author of an Elm book on the team, it only took one "generic" component to hit the limitations of the type system.

More specifically, this was for an electric utility dashboard / control application that needed realtime charts for many kinds of values (watts, amps, etc). We were good little Strong Typers and made each kind of unit a tagged type (so "KilowattHours v" etc) and made conversion utilities (kWh -> Wh and so on). Fantastic, no way to accidentally add together kWh and MW to produce nonsense.

But there's no "value with any unit" type the way we set it up - after all, the whole point was that you _can't_ substitute the wrong kind of value - so it becomes impossible to EXPRESS the type of a generic function from "List of values with units" to "graph".

The compiler is a mixed bag: on the one hand, the marketing is true - you can just keep fixing error messages until they stop and your code will likely be correct. On the other hand, "until they stop" is not a great complexity bound; displaying timestamps in "the current user's timezone" in our application required an 800+ line change.
I do not think that is possible due to the ease of copy pasting journalism. Journalists and their companies are also mainly selling their reputation, and it makes no sense to muddy it with others.

You haven't explained why Intel is entering the licensing business. If vendors have no desire to get their licensing from a company that competes in the space, there should be no demand for licensing from Intel, all of those OXMs should be going to ARM.
They did a ton of design work during the original Opteron days when it was performance king, only to have it be wasted as AMD flubbed the next gen and circled the drain for 10 years.

Vendors are noticeably cautious this time around, but the longer AMD maintains the crown the more system integrators are starting to invest. Nobody is trying to actively harm AMD - they've just been burned once before.
This is done by keeping the old hashes around. The new password hash is compared to prior hashes to be sure it doesn't match any of them. This only catches exact matches on re-used passwords.

Or, the current plaintext password is compared to the new plaintext password (normally a password change requires the current password) so you can do more sophisticated similarity checks, but only compared to the current passord, not any older ones.

I’m the person, and I don’t see these things as one or the other.

The election results questioning thing is a totally different topic but it doesn’t change the fact that people literally attempted to claim Trump wanted an insurrection and Twitter could have continued to flag things with their “election results” blurb rather than pulling the entire post.

I think we all can see what the common denominator is here... why not allow both the condemning of violence and lawlessness as well as the ability to “trust but verify” on election results?

Mitt Romney said “an audit won’t satisfy them only telling them the truth will” only nobody to this day even knows the truth yet, the best we can say is that we aren’t sure, and that leaves it open for either side to say they are sure about their angle.
> is doing a bunch of stuff people don't enjoy

I enjoy writing documentation and writing tests. To me, writing documentation is like teaching others about the awesome product / features we have built, and also the different technical tradeoff decisions we had to make.

I can't grasp the mindset where an engineer builds something really cool that they are proud of, but don't enjoy talking about it / teaching people how to use it.
About the only thing Twitter censored was threats of violence or rape, election misinformation, or extremely blatant racism.

One of these things is not like the others. Equating rape threats with what Twitter unilaterally decided was “election misinformation” and using that as a basis to silence a sitting President of the United States is an extreme case of censorship that justifiably scared anyone with views that divert even slightly from Silicon Valley’s brand of extreme leftism.

Even Jack Dorsey acknowledged that Twitter had entered into dangerous territory with this move [1]. Specifically, he said it ”sets a precedent I feel is dangerous: the power an individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation.”

Such roles still exist and a bunch of people like it. Instead of sitting in front of their own computer and hacking code and a amazing problems there it's finding problems in an application with communication with a different person. Depending on organisation and level this can be quite technical as well.

But when hiring I look for other skills and other interests depending on the role and a key qualification is interest in the kind of role.

Those werent miss-labeled, as there were never 450MHz Celerons. This overclockability was due to excellent 0.25um lithography process Intel was wielding at the time. Every Intel CPU had same MHz ceiling, even older laptop 200MHz Pentium 1 MMX Tillamook CPUs overclocked to over 400MHz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqB4yCssUCM. This was also one of the reasons for Intel to start fighting with overclockers by locking multipliers.
> Nobody bloody cares about integrity of journalism.

To offer a bit more nuance: consumers care about enough integrity; and powerful institutions (public or private), who stand to win or lose based on press narratives, care about enough "fairness" to their own perspectives (and interests).

Looking purely at realpolitik incentives, journalistic institutions can straddle that line and hit well over 50% on both fronts. Not to pick on the guy, but my poster child for this phenomenon is Daring Fireball's John Gruber: he's built a longstanding personal brand of integrity, covering Apple-centric tech for 20 years, and is frequently critical of the company and its products. And yet, he's frequently given preferential treatment by the company and its executives, because that same history has also signaled a (heartfelt) bias to being sympathetic to Apple's values and motives, meaning execs have a high confidence that reviews will be fair, interviews will be free of the scariest "gotcha" questions, etc.
