I generally dislike getting commits to review with a bunch of unrelated formatting changes around it, so I kind of get that pushback. As a lead I've asked people to format PRs so at least they're separate commits to review. That said, even I set my editors to clip EOL whitespace and add a linefeed on save if need be for every file I touch, so I guess I can't be too rigid about it.

I do think formatters work great (much better than format linters) but only if everyone does them on landing from a shared conf. Otherwise you end up playing format tennis and a lot of expression-normalization noise if it's working from AST.

I think the point where it's rewriting braces, adding parens, etc, is the point where I'd typically want to see the reformat split out for review. I haven't seen a code review tool in a long time that didn't let you hide whitespace-only changes, though, so not sure I think pushback would be justified there if the files were being touched anyway.
I agree with everything the author said in that I'm not a fan of the things they're complaining about, but I don't think I would go so far as to say they make a language objectively _bad_
It would be nice for some standards. I think part of it is that there is the expectation (perhaps misguided) that these are going to be highly modified/configured for custom applications, so they don't need common standards as they won't be interchangeable.
I wouldn't be surprised if UHaul started this as a service. Seems like a perfect fit to me.
Ok got it! So I guess the only way for Google to keep the best performers is to eliminate this cliff by giving RSU and/or offering a significant pay increase.

Thank you for the explanation ;)
Yes it’s called hacker news
I'm talking about the healthcare system in general.

If it's so odd you can cease responding if you like. It's pretty clear you can't handle criticism at this point and choose to lash out instead.

HN was slowing down my posts so I edited the one above this one.
I think it's a direct consequence of media and government trying to remove free will from the equation and present taking the vaccine as the only choice people have. If you're going to essentially force people to do it, a statistically meaningless side-effect becomes more important as reason for people to push back (and the media to drum up false fears).

If you treat people like adults and let them consult their doctors and make their own decisions, the bar is much lower for safety (by lower I mean from impossibly high to reasonable). People willingly take much more risky medicines and treatments all the time and are fine with it. But if you try and force something in them, it's not surprising they push back on anything that isn't guaranteed to be perfect.

(So my point is, I think demand would be higher and concerns lower if you just made it available and let people make their own choice. But the whole pandemic has been more about forcing people to do things than about trying to do things that actually solve the problem)

[Edit- it's funny how any presence of giving people control over their bodies evaporates in a situation like this. And re the strawman that "nobody is forcing you" - if the consequence is severe limits on what you are allowed to do, that doesnt really hold up]
A corporation exists to do whatever its owners wish to do with it. It is only true that "corporations only exist to make money" when that's the sole or primary wish of their owners. Musk owns over 50% of SpaceX equity (and over 70% of voting rights), and it is pretty clear his primary motivation is not simply "make as much money as possible". On the contrary, I think his primary motivation with SpaceX is to try to make the science fiction stories he read as a kid come (partially) true, and to try to leave his mark on human history. Making money is just a means to that end, not the end-in-itself.

(The remainder of SpaceX is owned by investment funds, Google, etc, whose motivation is much closer to just "make money".)
It feels as though “internet culture” of the old days have been limited excessively, and the entire internet been left beholden to the standards of U.S.A. professionalism, indeed because of profits, because the advertiser so demands it.

Boards have increasingly enacted rules to cater to advertisers as they found out that simple word filters to stop “bad words” from being mentioned improve their advertisement revenue.

I remember Reddit when the purpose of the voting system was encouraging a laid-back approach by moderators on the logic that objectionable content would be downvoted, and hidden, so that those who did not wish to see it could ignore it, but that's long gone now, and moderators are highly zealous and on top of that one has the hivemind voting system to deal with.

Internet indeed became a pursuit of profit, rather than memes for fun.

And indeed 4chan never bowed to advertisers and consequently actually is not that profitable despite being one of the largest websites.

The culture on, say, IRC channels which do not rely on advertisement is very different from on websites that do and typically enforce various language filters.
We had those growing up in suburban Chicago too -- in my case in the 70s. The trucks would only appear at dusk. We dumb kids thought the fog was a hoot so we would jump on our bikes and chase behind the truck hooting at the novelty, breathing in who knows what chemicals. I can still remember the smell.
Can someone living in an apartment with no charging point at their space get an electric car?
Not all companies are the same.

Sure, there are tons of websites that don't optimize for page load speeds.

There are also tons that do -- including some of the largest, most popular websites on the planet, that perform very fine-tuned image compression for this purpose. Managers pore over analytics reporting 95th pctl client-side loading time, etc. So "rarely if ever" is just utterly false.

Why the defeatist attitude?
All those adjustments are like getting into the internals of your X configuration so you can have just the right gradients on the title bars vs window borders. Great for the few who want that (guilty!); but beyond useless to the people who want to get shit done.

Those classic wooden chair designs are not just "good defaults" for all the adjustments that could be made, but they allow room for different body shapes and the different ways people find comfortable to settle their meat sacks.

For my purposes, the optimal chair has room for one and a half of me, plus a baby goat.
I was holding out too but the opportunity to get Pfizer part 1 came up this week and I figured "this indefinite suspension could take months might as well get this out of the way now."
Oh well. Im always wrong about these things. Either way in three more weeks I'll be done doing the "needful."

No side effects for me besides my arm sore to the touch the day after, but not painful. Similar to the day after a weightlifting workout.
I love C programming. Even though people say it's dangerous and easy to shoot yourself in the foot, It really is the simplest and most elegant way forward. That said, having to invent the wheel yourself so much, it is not as time efficient as some more modern languages.

I liken it to an artisanal craftsman's tool versus a modern multi-tool like a dremel which would be something like python.
> I never understood why people would buy a car younger than 15 years old.

15 years typically translates to 180K - 200K miles for average use cases.

15 year old cars are generally not in great shape. Finding low mileage, well-maintained unicorns is not as easy as it sounds.
Let's hope they don't close your account.

In Futurama's "A Fishful of Dollars"[1] Fry discovers that the $0.93 he had in his account when he was cryogenically frozen in the year 2,000 had grown at 2.25% a year to almost $4.3 billion when he was reawakened 1,000 years later.

Yes, the match checks out[2]: 0.93 * (1.0225 ^ 1000) ≈ 4,283,508,449.71

The paper seems to be making an assumption that the air is "well mixed." I don't see how that holds unless there is no ventilation whatsoever, in which case, CO2 levels will build up to dangerous levels. In the two restaurant case studies I've seen with transmission beyond 6 feet, there is a clear effect of fans moving air from one person to another in the pattern of who gets infected and who doesn't. I haven't seen a documented case of transmission beyond 20 feet.

Yes, it's probably technically possible to transmit COVID from a 60 foot distance, but the probability is much less, and it's inaccurate to say that you're no safer at 60 feet than 6 feet.
Is this a standard arrangement, then?

Is it usual for French organisations to apply English law?
I think it should fall under basic common sense, not science. In reality, only a handful of people in the world understand in detail all the intricacies of the various ways our body interacts with drug substances. This group varies based on the drug in question.

The rest of us are just parroting them. Yes you can try to be informed and read-up but at the end of the day they're still a layperson.

I work in biotech (vaccines), and outside of my little niche, I'm just your average lay person, just slightly more informed.
An E.V. Startup Backed by Ups Does Away with the Assembly Line
That is exactly the situation they are in. They have plans/contingency plans to make sure they don’t end up in a similar situation while the other manufactures don’t. Their plans paid off and the others’ bet not on having the plan...well that also paid off.
The Stockholm Convention on Organic Pollutants contains an explicit exemption for DDT used for disease vector control. ( http://chm.pops.int/Portals/0/Repository/convention_text/UNE... page 28.) Your "millions have perished from being denied it" is incorrect. I don't know whether that's the Wall Street Journal's fault, because I won't pay them to find out whether they're wrong.
Linear compute is the ideal solution. Parallelization is a useful tool when we run up against the limitations of linear compute, but it is not ideal. Parallelization is simply not an option for some tasks. Nine mothers cannot make a baby in a month. It also adds overhead, regardless of the context.

Take businesses for example. Businesses don't want to hire employees to get the job done. They want as few workers as possible because each one comes with overhead. There's a good reason why startups can accomplish many tasks at a fraction of what it would cost a megacorp. Hiring, management, training, HR, etc... they are all costs a business has to swallow in order to hire more employees (ie parallelize).

This is not to say parallelization is bad. Given our current technological limitations, adding more cores and embracing parallelization where possible is the most economical solution. That doesn't faster linear compute is a "nice to have".

I understand that the WF is incorrectly using the Java API decision (and tying it to media's favorite punching bag by citing google) but the Hollywood Reporter didn't have to go along -- they wrote a perfectly good article that didn't need that title.
Well, not typical for HN, a lazy question. But I'll bite. You could have looked at the video, it's only 2 minutes. ID.4 is a pretty boring/normal looking car.

Now, for the e-initiative, it's an e-initiative all right. A $86 billion over 5 years e-initiative (https://www.reuters.com/article/volkswagen-strategy-idUSKBN2...) :-)

ID.4 is based on an entirely new VW platform (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Group_MEB_platform) which is already used for 6 models and it will probably be used by 60+ in 2 years' time.

It's practically VW's future. They're betting the farm on it.
They do in their FAQ: https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#can-i-use-gimp-commer...
IANAL, but this may be illegal. I noticed that they have a large number of contributors yet seem to have no contributor agreement with ownership assignment. This generally means that any license change would need the agreement of every past contributor (as it should). There are good reasons (for the primary author(s)) to enforce copyright assignment for contributions.

Besides legal issues, I consider changes like this to be very slimy since you are kind of pulling the rug out from under people. I would expect a huge discussion to take place before doing something like this to try and let people move off of the platform if AGPL does not work for them for whatever reason.

Yup, the Ian Knot and the Secure Knot (https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm) have taken over my household. The latter is particularly good for kids, who often learn the "bunny ears" method, but then switch to double-knotting and all the attendant untangling hassle.

I made a website recently to try and do what I think you're talking about.

http://whatoneinamillionmeans.com

The idea is to compare the risk of death from the AZ vaccine from blood clots (1 in a million so far) with the risks we take all the time without worrying.

For there J+J vaccine, it's also a 1 in a million risk, but just of getting the clots, not dying.

The point is to show the fallacy of comparing the risk of the vaccine with a perceived current zero risk - you are not at zero risk ever, there's a base-risk we as society and individuals have decided we are OK with, because without it we can't even get out of bed in the morning, let alone get into a car or do anything else interesting, and the risk from these vaccines is a lot lower than that.

Cmder used to be my go-to for the times I had to use Windows before my most recent attempts which came after WSL, PowerShell Core, Windows Terminal, and the whole new ecosystem Microsoft seems to be invested in building around the command line. I don't remember any specific complaints about it except that configuration (if you wanted to customize it— defaults were quite good) options were kinda overwhelming. At the same time, I don't have any interest in going back to it after using Windows Terminal for a while.

I'd be curious about your first impressions of Windows Terminal as a more recent cmder user, if you still have a Windows VM lying around.
One syllable, typically. But either works.

Is there a CLA or similar? Maybe I missed it, but I couldn't find anything in the CONTRIBUTING.md document. Or did they literally get every past contributor to agree?
They'll never get to unicorn status with that attitude.

Heck, they have no moat! Anyone can just walk in, use their source code, and set up their own free chess site!

I'm sure this is all great for chess lovers and the game of chess as a whole, but what about all of the investors who will never have the thrill of a 10% IPO pop?

It just seems kind of selfish to make such an amazing site and then not try to cash in on all that value.
Yet another Rust project sinking to the depths of closed source.

The rationale for doing this escapes me. Is minio concerned about one or more cloud providers forking minio and then going closed source with their modifications?

I generally only run minio from the official docker image, so I don't reckon this would affect "normal" usage?
I was thinking about an ID.Buzz until I took my Golf to a dealer for a 20K service. Then they tried to sell me tires for 4 x the price of Discount Tire - the tires on the car are absolutely fine - almost 1/4". Then they decided not to rotate my tires due to "tire condition" - to spite me? - and nickel and dimed me on a pair of wipers.

I don't want to renew my relationship with a dealer. Especially not with an electric car where I really would be beholden to them until the independent shops catch up - if they ever do.
I've revised my post to cover the copyright strike situation as you state here. If I understand correctly, you don't actually know if you received the three strikes overnight, right? I imagine it's possible the notices were somehow sent to an email you didn't realize was connected, and if that's the case, the notices might have actually spanned more than one day and you just didn't realize until the final one came.

I agree that you have a right to obtain the notices. Hopefully they provide them to you. But, either way, I'm pretty sure you won't be and shouldn't be getting your account back.

I think even if it turns out they did send you all three strikes at the same instant, they would still be completely in the right here due to the channel apparently being so dedicated to bad faith content pinching and infringement. It probably could've theoretically racked up dozens of strikes.

And it doesn't matter if you gave attribution. You only didn't monetize them because your account wasn't (yet) able to - you surely would have if you had the option. You said it yourself:

>With no way for me to really monetize them, I stopped running the scripts (which would be around the beginning of this month).

Giving attribution is better than not giving attribution, but it's still not close to sufficient. There are lots of channels that make tons of stolen profit off of creators (mostly TikToks and Twitch streams; fancy that...) through ads, sponsorship deals, affiliate links, etc. You very probably would've ended up like all those other exploitative, parasitic content-stealing channels after enough time if you could have and if YouTube didn't shut it down.

Some/many probably use bots like you tried to. They often include attribution. They never include consent from the creators they steal from, and they give the creators they steal from 0% of the profits they make from those creators' stolen content.

The creators often don't even know it's happening. "It's free promotion!" is not a good excuse; if you actually wanted to be a legitimate promoter, you would have done it legitimately, by contacting people and offering such services and working out a content uploading and revenue sharing agreement with each individual ahead of time.
With flash memory performance as good as they're getting now, swapping is not the bottleneck it was with spinning disks. The pain of being memory-constrained is not so painful anymore in many use cases.
Looks like Typora would be the offline alternative?
Might as well add my anecdata...it works perfectly for me.

I have an M1 Mac Mini, with an Apple Magic Keyboard and Apple Trackpad.

On first setup I had to connect them via the lightning/USB cable at which point they paired automatically. Then I disconnected them and they've been working since, through multiple reboots, via BT.

And no kernel panics either.

It does make sense that you need something wired on first setup, though it should not be forgotten on reboot. That could easily be an issue with either the peripheral or the M1.

at least here, in California, you can not chose which one you get when making the appointment or when arriving at the vaccination site.
Also CSU and UC will require vaccinations for return to on-campus. (Though I'm not sure that they will be able to do so until vaccines are under "emergency use" authorization, not a regular one)

> that’s the future you should be aiming for anyway. At least as good as the one portrayed in Brazil.

yeah, I think the author has.
That is correct, but there are plenty of lawyers who interpret things incredibly overly-conservatively to save their own ass, just in case.

If you're a senior enough manager and have a legitimate business reason then you can often push back enough and get them to give in, but it's really a question of whether it's worth your time and effort internally.
> So my point is, I think demand would be higher and concerns lower if you just made it available and let people make their own choice.

That's already how it works, though. Everyone is free to decide for themselves whether or not they'd like to be vaccinated.
Automakers are far from giant, and over the time their BOMs actually shrank for most mainstream, high volume cars.

Corollas are remarkable how "dumb" they are despite seemed electronic sophistication.

Automotive IC market aside from car only parts looks rather random.

You may have $100 mil spec® parts sitting besides 10¢ parts, and doin essentially the same due to regulatory, and market peculiarities.
FWIW you can get great redundancy with far less than 2x storage factor. e.g. Facebook uses a 10:14 erasure coding scheme[1] so they can lose up to 4 disks without losing data, and that only incurs a 1.4x storage factor. If one's data is cold enough, one can go wider than this, e.g. 50:55 or something has a 1.1x factor.

Not that this fundamentally changes your analysis and other totally valid points, but the 2x bit can probably be reduced a lot.

Let's say I use Minio in a SaaS app and allow my end users to upload directly to it. With this AGPL license change, is this now considered to be a form of distribution, that would then require me to open source the rest of my SaaS app?
I wish there was a way to keep all redirects in the back button history. For me, one of the most infuriating things on my work computer was starting up the browser after a period of inactivity (eg. the weekend) and seeing every Jira/Github/whatever tab sitting at the corporate SSO page. The original page wouldn't be in the back history so I effectively "lost" those tabs. Firefox fortunately keeps most tabs suspended on startup nowadays so it's less of an issue.
This 100%. When I bike to work I take a route that is 2 miles longer than when I drive. Just to avoid a few left turns and a few busy roads witch sketchy bike lanes. Now that I have an e-bike the commute is actually really fun and I get to work with energy.
Because when the original URL always gives a 302, that creates a terrible user experience: hitting back would give you the current page again. Browsers can't know whether a 302 is transient or persistent.
