> As an indian, this Pandemic is an eye opener to me on the devastating impact that flawed government policies have on its citizen.

We have to eliminate our socialistic approach to planning. If you lock the private sector out and expect that everything will be handled by the government bureaucracy, then nothing will get done.

There are no right-wing parties in India. Even Modi and the BJP are saffron socialists. They have applied price controls to so many medical items that the demand-supply equilibrium has gone for a toss.

Even today, the vaccines are being produced by two private organizations under a price control regime and all they have to show for it is a stream of abuse from the necrophiles on the left.
Since you van have a credit card when you are 13 yo, the check is more or less useless.
There's a lot of shady practices involved there, that is one of my points.
Maybe the company has more information than you do, we don't know that. I certainly hope anyone in open source feels safe to call the police when a criminal violation is happening, regardless of what it is. Again we can debate individual laws and individual enforcement actions, but comparing any laws or police anywhere to the mafia is nonsensical. Let's focus on the facts.
Because it reminds people of slavery which is still fresh in the minds of many and makes some uncomfortable

Well, "main" is like "mainmast" of the sailing ships that brought the slaves over.

See, once you start this game, it never ends. The master in "master branch" was never anything to do with slavery - and everyone knows it. No one in the world equated committing to master with endorsing slavery, but that is what you are accusing them of. Same as master bedroom and master's degree and mastering a skill and countless other examples. And why is "master" problematic but not "owner"? After all the common term was not "slavemaster" but "slaveowner" remember. Shall we do branch owners or code owners or file owners next?

Another way of looking at it is “why not?”

Why not leave it as it is then? Why step onto a never ending treadmill of arbitrary changes for change's sake?

Anyway I'm not trying to convince you here (I get the feeling that that would be pointless) I am merely explaining to you the behaviour you have observed but don't understand the motivation for.
Yes, I've worked mostly in money losing startups, but since I work in a $ billion-profit investment bank I saw the difference. It's better to waste money on technical debt crisis down the line than have no money to waste because of thousands of devs all being perfectionists locking each other.

Small startups seem to reach this stage eventually and in big companies, management is acutely aware of it, and breaks every attempt at correctness-over-business-rationality, under the teary cries of the autists, sometimes :D

Augmented reality has a potential market as large as that of cell phones. Magic Leap raised not tens of millions but more than a billion dollars if I recall correctly.

I believe the issue is that their product is expensive and therefore did not become popular and therefore has relatively few applications and so does not become popular.

Anti-intellectual? Oh come on.

I didn't talk about things we don't understand at first, but about never ever. Simply because we might not be capable of that. You seem to think we humans are so smart, that we can understand everything given enough time. I think we maybe aren't THAT smart.

Furthermore, I think the thought that new technology makes the life of mere mortals better, is just that. A thought. We have so much technology today, yet most people on earth are poor, sick and just miserable. Without any hope for the better. I think your viewpoint is from a privileged point. The life of mere mortals (see my initial post) might not change at all. So why bother?
You are aware that you can either use soft language, or discuss in the terms that are actually used, right?

What’s more important: sensitivities or understanding how the decisions actually work so you’re in the mix to change things with the audience to change it?

They can wait out ethics based arguments for decades, and they do.

The moment a community activist actually starts calling corps out on their sh*t from the perspective that’s actually used to build these policies, then the corps lose their main advantage which is ignoring calls to ethics like this which don’t work as they’re not at all related to the MBA’s incentive structure who makes that decision.

Im pro choice and think the banning of gender reassignment in children is bad.

But you're arguing that deciding whether or not a fetus or unborn child is a person is not an existential issue, but when someone can choose to get gender reassignment is.

One is very literally an argument about personhood and the right to terminate and the other is about children's and parents right to choose appropriate medical care.

The miniscule risk of a slippery slope in some remote and unlikely future cannot serve as a reasonable justification for violating the bodily autonomy of adults in their sound mind today. Nor am I much impressed by the existence of an organization that advocated involuntary euthanasia eighty years ago in the US. There was all kinds of insanely messed up stuff going on in our country at that time. Involuntary euthanasia, even if they had succeeded in implementing it, wouldn't have remotely been the worst.
Documentation is so important. The problem with documentation is that engineers don't seem to understand it's benefits. I think one reason is that so much of the documentation out there is so poor quality that engineers think documentation can't be good quality.
I also can recommend Extra Credits (on YouTube), it's imperfect and simplified, but it still tries to be reasonable accurate for the kind of information source it is. At least it's much more concerned about accuracy then many modern (TV) documentation are. They also tend to have episode where they go through mistakes they accidentally had done in previous episodes..

EDIT: You to be clear they haven't done a episode about Taiwan (I think), but about other things I hadn't (or had) known about.

Good point, but it seems to be more towards who gets to start the startups that succeed, rather than what startup succeeds. I think the point in the article is that the startups that succeed tend to be in hot markets.

It's clear that people who have more personal runway get more chances at trying to find the right market.
Cobra Kai ‘Season 4’ will be out on Netflix soon – The Next Hint

>"Meanwhile we still don't have a minimum wage that is anything like livable. "

This is because the Fed, as well as the entire US legislature, knows deep down that wages are the final "finger in the dyke" of the whole system collapsing. For wages to truly begin rising would send inflation spiraling out of control. It's only under check now because the asset owning class is reaping the benefits; not the vast majority of wage earning lower/middle class which is keeping consumer prices in check. Our entire monetary policy is now pinned on the fact that wages will lag gains of productivity and inflation, so that the almighty CPI rate can be held up as evidence for low inflation and the free money gravy train keeps rolling for the monied elite.
It would be difficult to pay an equivalent wage if after transitioning to no-tipping the restaurant is making less money than it did before.
I'd disagree slightly with the parent post here: the conclusion shouldn't be "get away from Google" so much as "If you have to use Google, understand what you're getting into." If you deal with unsavory people, things will go south eventually. If you deal with Google, sooner or later things like this will happen. Expect it, build it into your strategy, but don't be surprised by it.
This is the main virtualbox feature I sorely missed running kvm. Is there any easy way to configure bridge mode on kvm? I didn't dig too much because I also run docker and kubernetes on the same machine and I don't want to break their network config accidentally.

I would be very curious to hear about founders of successful startups from humble backgrounds, and curious what you consider humble? For me, that would be growing up going to a non-elite public high school, college on scholarship, parents who are like plumbers or high school teachers or insurance agent.
Under this kind of plausible argument, lie all sort of insects (bugs) in the dark. If people can make time to write tests, so should they write documentation. There is inordinate amount of frustration, productivity loss, and regression associated with having poor/outdated/no documentation.

Interesting mention of Ferranti back when I was young we had a state of the art A0 Ferranti digitizer delivered (serial no 7)

My boss said “interesting project for you – hook this up to the PDP 11 make it work and then go and talk to Dave so he can use it to digitize the droplet cloud from an experimental rig”

There is currently no way to block systemd from using the network ports.

Linux firewall can’t even block systemd from doing that but OpenBSD can.

And CVEs continue to be racking up against systemd.

Hence, it’s either Linux (and it’s unhardened kernel settings) with openrc or OpenBSD with systemd.
Exactly - a short, sharp shock of 1 week or so, and then the most disruptive people are gone and you begin to rebuild the culture.
I grew up with books about technology and computers and whatnot which always seemed to include plotters in their sections about output devices (along with laser printers, CRTs, etc) and even contemporaneous books in the mid-1990s still talked of plotters as present-day output devices, yet I still haven't ever seen one in-person (but plenty of HP's large-format inkjet printers which still look-like plotters from a distance).
wish i could filter by Churn Rate, that would be a killer filter :)
"had to" is a stretch, but as the first example from GitHub: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/7781

There's a lot of value in bisecting to find the exact commit, moving from "this is probably the commit that broke it" to "this is exactly the commit which broke it"

Typical workflow:

* branch off master

* Write a test which passes at some point in the past, and fails on HEAD

* rebase the test into the branch at the point in the past, so bisect works

* git bisect to pinpoint the bug

With a non-squashed and a history where each commit builds, `git bisect` points to the exact failing commit and makes the investigation trivial

An additional advantage is that you're not wasting time investigating: the unit test can be used as a regression test

Because real estate is a key part of what distinguishes the haves from the have-nots. Get on the right side of the real estate world, as a landlord or lender, and you can make a lot of money for little effort (there is risk but Americans always think risk doesn't apply to them). Get on the wrong side, as a renter or borrower, and it's easy to get into a hole that it's hard to climb out of. In between are things like house flipping which involve aspects of both buying and selling but often also involve some deception such as cutting corners on "improvements" so the house looks good for sale but quickly falls apart. Rotten concrete, leaky roofs, that kind of thing. One favorite in my own town is to cut down a lot of trees to make room for a McMansion, then bury them on the property where they cause all sorts of problems from a few years to forever.

Real estate in the US is too profitable to be anything but a grifters' game, and everyone else is well advised to keep their interactions to a minimum.

The housing estimate seems quite high for my area as well, particularly for the single adult category. It was using a figure that I'd expect for a nice 1br in a trendy area. Someone under financial pressure would probably be renting with a roommate in a less nice area instead, likely paying a third to half the figure the calculator cites. I also agree on the transportation cost being way out of whack. For the adult plus one child cost they cite for my area, I could finance a new $40k car plus pay for insurance and gas.

This attitude toward users - regardless of whether your assessment that the source of the problem is intelligence is correct - is poisonous noise that creates far more problems than it solves. Also, the hostility reduces the quality of discourse.

> Sure it's simple but it makes it hard to find anything if you have a lot of stuff/people.

I think this is a bad analogy. Looking up a file or directory in a monorepo isn't harder than looking up a repository. In fact, I'd argue it's easier, as we've developed decades of tooling for searching through filesystems, while for searching through remotely hosted repositories you're dependent on the search function of the repository host, which is often worse.
Well by turning it off I mean blocking ocsp.apple.com in my firewall. I do this personally, not at work by the way. But yes they should really provide a way to properly turn it off in the OS itself.

By the way another issue I have with the developer cert thing is that this way they will block all your apps if they have an issue with just one thing you've uploaded. And we all know Apple tends to blur the line between plain old malware and "against our T&C/Commercial interests". They already have a say in what apps I can use on my iPad. Like the ban on emulators, etc. It's my device, it should be a recommendation at most.. This is why I fear they are moving Mac in this direction as well.

PS: I didn't realise you were the one who raised this issue a couple months ago. Thanks for your work!!
Are these sites really that useful? I checked a couple of products on stackshare that I have used. Shallow content. And got prompted immediately with a signup popup, just like Instagram does. According to similarweb, the site gets 1.4M pageviews per month. So I guess the demand is there, I just wish the information was better.
Very smart. Reminds me of a meta service i used to scout products for my e-commerce business. Not sure how you’ll be able to monetize it as it is relatively simple to copy but perhaps the first movers advantage is enough if you keep it free for visitors. Good luck in any case! I’m sure this will sprout new companies.
If anyone knows how to setup the bridge with wireless in libvirt/qemu/kvm following the steps with/without ebtables listed in Debian and Arch wiki, please do tell

libvirt has too many gotchas to be as easy to use as virtualbox, vmware or proxmox. Proxmox also uses qemu+kvm, but is opinionated enough to pick the most appropriate option by default.

Example? For Networking, you probably want the virtio driver for maximum throughput if it is supported on the guest (even Windows has drivers now), using the emulated realtek device/e1000 is very slow. That means you should probably also use the virtio block devices, right? Nope, wrong, work on that was abandoned years ago, use SATA!

Gains in a society goes to those that are doing something useful to contribute to increase productivity, such as providing the labor that increases the productivity or providing the capital to make that increased productivity a reality. While they won't get the gains, bystanders to this process benefit from cheaper costs due to increased productivity.

It's more of a guilty pleasure for some and an easy gift. They're fairly high quality and easy to store so they accumulate over time.

Three years ago, one of my online gamer friends was sorting and organizing their older brother's pokemon card collection and the final count was well over 5,000 cards. They were in the process of building a website to sell them off but I think the brother got back from college and shut it down. Hopefully they are getting them graded.
The panic is that it is an anticompetitive moat that they are setting up that, if used in such a way, would allow them insane preference for their own App Store on all Apple computers.

Imagine what sort of system-level settings you'd have to change on macOS today if you wanted to ship a competing macOS App Store on Apple devices with UX similar to Apple's own, but without Apple signing keys.

You'd basically have to write some
malware-style code to get inside of Gatekeeper and privilege your downloaded/purchased apps the same way Apple does for apps from their own App Store.

How long do you think they would let this stand before trying to whack your installer daemon with XProtect for posing "danger to profit integrity"? (They'd spell "profit" as "system", though.)

Note: for the sake of discussion I’m assuming when we say monorepo we mean monorepo and associated tools used to manage them

The trade off is simplified management of dependencies. With a monorepo, I can control every version of a given dependency so they’re uniform across packages. If I update one package it is always going to be linked to the other in its latest version. I can simplify releases and managing my infrastructure in the long term, though there is a trade off in initial complexity for certain things if you want to do something like say, only run tests for packages that have changed in CI (useful in some cases).

It’s all trade offs, but the quality of code has been higher for our org in a monorepo on average
You have a lot of good points and they generally align with what I have heard from family in India. Your post does not deserve to be down voted but I am not surprised. Any article/post against Modi, the Modi govt, BJP, or highlighting the issues of the caste system gets down voted on HN so that it has very little time on the front page. Their IT cell has a far reach.

Someone else in this thread posted that COVID is seasonal and the reason for the current wave is environmental; that post is not getting down voted. Blame has been assigned to a non-Modi entity so I guess all is well.

Hubris was a big part of this. Modi made the statements himself about how well India handled COVID and is now about to help the world. Has egg on his face now but it wont matter. There is enough time to make his own people forget about his mismanagement and lack of empathy before the next election.
Another article I see where a bunch of non-Americans are going to comment on an article which was obviously written for an American perspective (and afterwards a western one), all the while pretending to be Americans.

Most of the people commenting aren't you neighbors, or even your countrymen. It's 100 fake responses, with zero trust or authentication.
