You seem to be missing my point. There ARE systemic disadvantages to being black.

I get that you're of the opinion that telling people about racial inequality can demotivate them and make them feel fatalistic about their futures, but I don't necessarily agree with your assessment to the degree this is the case and you seem to think there is no room for nuance here. We must stop talking about this immediately. People are too simple to understand that there is still some unfairness that needs to be resolved, but that they should do their best regardless. No we must lie to them and tell them the system is fair and through their ignorance they will magically overcome the disadvantages they face.

You seem to think fear of systemic racism is a bigger obstacle to the success of black people than actual systemic racism and I just think that's absurd. Your basic premise that fear of institutional racism can be demotivating is valid and worth consideration. You're elevating it to the root cause of all problems is absurd. A black job applicant will receive half as many callbacks for job interviews compared to an identically qualified white applicant. There are little obstacles like that all over our society. Can they be overcome through tenacity and perseverance? Yes. Does that mean we shouldn't work to fix that %#@#? Hell No!
It's a bit of an oversimplification, I think.

Even though Clojure is not a statically typed language, it does have a type system.

Here's an example what Clojure.Spec lets you do. When I was working for a fintech company, we built a suite of specs for a ledger. Based on those specs we could generate data. And it wasn't just some set of key/value pairs with completely randomized numbers. It would generate "a proper" ledger, where every number in a transaction depends on other transactions.

We used that generated data to render UI locally and on the non-prod environments.

Using the same specs we build data validators, we re-used the specs to validate data in the input fields in the UI. Which is totally bonkers. How the heck you achieve code re-use between completely incompatible ecosystems - in our case, JVM and Javascript? Even Nodejs doesn't always let you re-use code between backend and the front. Clojure allows you.

Using the same specs, we've built property based/generative tests.

I've never experienced the joy of creating such robust, predictable, and reliable software with any other (statically typed or otherwise) language before.

I'm not saying you cannot build a similar thing (or even better) with Scala or Haskell (or some other PL). The simplicity of how Clojure allows you to write things like that - just incomparable.
The title of the link says "just like Windows". It's not an operating system API like Win32, and it's not a faithful clone of Windows's window management behavior, like your title implies.

I can't drag a window so it lies partly off-screen, instead the window stops moving when I keep moving the mouse, allowing the mouse to change position relative to the title bar.. I can't aero snap, nor "snap window to full height". Only minimized windows are visible at the bottom of the screen, not a taskbar of all open windows.

There's some additions not present on Windows, that threw me off. There's an full-screen button in the title bars, which confused me at first (but could be useful). And each minimized window has a maximize button, which isn't present on Windows and confused me. It seems that whether a minimized window gets restored or maximized depends on whether you press the button or not, rather than being remembered like Windows does.

Well, yes, water doesn't respect state boundaries so I'm not claiming that California is a closed system, nor am I claiming the majority of water used in agriculture evaporates rather than going into the water table. But just as water evaporates in CA and lands on Colorado, so water evaporates in the pacific and lands on California, and we get ground water and river water back from Colorado. So are you claiming there is some systematic net movement of water out of California and into other states/countries? That would require presenting an entirely different set of facts than has been presented here.
Is there a way I'm missing to save comments on HN besides also commenting on them so they can be revisited later? I'd like to save this. This is one of the best meta-summaries I've ever seen, on any topic.

The in person interview has little to no bearing on your application. It can provide a minor positive boost but no negative value. Besides, the interviewers I had were all nice enough people but definitely possible to trick or BS.
Yes. You think Harvard is going to fail the son of a senator or legacy donor?

A lot of folks I went to college with did nothing but party, drink, hang out. Education didn't matter to them at all. They were going to get a job at their family's firm, company, etc anyway. Didn't matter what their grades were.

Professors know who they can't fail.
Lately all my usb thumb drives have been overheating when using any tool so last time I ended up using an external hard drive after burning through a number of thumb drives.

Anyone has an idea how to artificially limit write speed besides running it over a USB 1 hub?

Seems odd… what’s the rest of the story?
It’s simple - we like eating what we grew up eating. For me, those are the dishes and ingredients my mom made, the restaurants near home made when I was a kid etc. Nostalgia/memory is an important component of taste because I figure it’s evolution’s way of saying “you ate this and didn’t die. Eat some more!”

I’ve never eaten a beef burger. I tried an Impossible Burger. It just tasted ... I don’t know. Not meh, not great, not bad. Just different. I’d eat it again if someone offered but I wouldn’t seek it out.

But I totally get why people who’ve had 1-2 beef burgers their whole lives love that taste. I’m the same way with a good cheese omelette or a paneer dish.
I've been a developer since the 90s and I still occasionally experience that dread.

But then I remember the reason I love this profession - it allows us to gain deep insights into other fields that we wouldnt normally come into contact with. To build abstract models of real world systems, you have to understand them and understanding is the best form of learning. We naturally become experts in many diverse fields simply by modelling them.

Recently I was made redundant from a long term job and was very hesitant about applying for the cool hip roles that I knew were around, instead I timidly replied to a few linkedin recruiter emails. I was promptly offered jobs working for one of the big banks, online ordering for one of the supermarket chains, and a local government role.

After due consideration, I turned them down and started applying to projects in areas where my skills are needed but I have something to learn as well. Im not interested in retail banking or building another checkout widget for a generic online shopper.

I know way more about the inner workings of anaesthesiology, police procedures, virology, locksmithing, fintech, electoral processes, hotel chains, cruise lines and many other fields that I would never have given two thoughts about.

Software is a craft, and to deliver your products you have to be invited into the customers private space. I find that fascinating and very fulfilling.
You are not being “crucified” in any sense of the word. I guarantee you that there are still incredible opportunities available for second, third, etc place.

The current system encourages high levels of academic performance, which is precisely what our species needs to advance. There must be some sort of incentive.

Yes, it’s a financing plan. Correct, it shuts off if you don’t pay. Not during your ride, but before you ride, when you try to turn it on. Can you die from it, is there any danger of misunderstanding? No, none whatsoever. Are they threatening danger if you don’t pay? No, they’re doing the opposite and making access to an expensive safety product more convenient and affordable.

We’re going in circles now so I guess you’re pretty convinced by Vice’s hyperbole that this cannot be anything other than terrible, despite the fact that it’s a way more lenient financing plan than anything else you’ve ever financed before...

It’s good for Vice and their profit margin that they can so easily and effectively stir up a bunch of malleable people to get mad about something that isn’t really true. It’s a shame that they shit on a real business with actual safety conscious engineers behind it. Hopefully this thread full of negative and unfounded speculation has no sway on their bottom line, and they figure out how to better market their financing plan so that people understand the benefits and it doesn’t get so quickly misinterpreted.
Photoshop just detects edges and does thus ends up detecting both sides of a drawn line or change in shading for example. This does not appear to show such artefacts.
Punishment should be due only when actual proveable facts can be shown. Otherwise it's just rampant speculation which just feeds into sometimes political power moves. We already have enough of that going on.
for ENS and polytechnique, I remember reading that a very large number of the accepted candidates for such schools came from a handful of rich kids high schools and can be traced back to a handful of rich kids Kindergartens. (I can't find the article)
IMO people don't want to pay piece by piece, and content producers are not going to produce media for a flat rate $/byte. That's not how it's metered.

Because in many ways, companies control the narrative. I don’t mean that in a conspiracy kind of way, but more in a way where all companies share a vested interest into keeping close to the political body. One good rule would to introduce a law that would remove the ability to revolve door between a company and a political position. Another to show the sponsors directly and transparently for each political official. That would be a start.
Two systematic changes that could help.

Yeah I never did the 'take the team with me' thing but I wish I had. I heard great things from people I've met randomly who work as a team and go together to a new gig. Sounds like a lot of fun. Is it too late for me. I am > 40 and tried of the industry. Well, you know, tired of "industry" in general and the workers/company conflict that naturally arises. Reading that linked thread about BaseCamp - and I won't give my opinion on it - but it does show a tension between employer/employee that is always there, even when it isn't.
I am very much working class / (blue collar) in my upbringing. Raised by single parent in a very run down area with a fair amount of poverty. I luckily found an early love and curiosity for computers and eventually found my way into software engineering. If this had not have happened god knows where I would be, when I look at where my friends have ended up. I learned quite early in my life, that if someone picks you out , then you need to immediately front up to it or it will just escalate from there and you're in for a bucket load of torment and bullying. I am not presenting this as any sort of solution , it's far from ideal. I can misread situations / emails and feel fight or flight come on (and my ego insists it needs to be fight 'don't let them walk all over you'). This means i ALWAYS I clash with the arseholes whenever our paths cross. It's made me quite popular with co-workers as I confront them everytime, but I don't think its doing my career any favours.

+1, the truth is not important at all.

The most scary path would be intentional. I can't think of any other aftermath except for WWIII.
What most shocking fact it, the driver didn't even notice the poor kid. The blind spot that people constantly talking about is real and many people lose their life to it.

Sad thing is, most people I know don't know about anything of it, they still assumes that the driver will take care of everything.
I can't imagine anyone believing that there is some grassroots concern about net-neutrality. Ordinary people don't care about this. You and I may care about it, but not the general population. And I only slightly care about it -- say a lot less than copyright extensions but a lot more than hair extensions.
I'm not offended. I'm examining why their transparent attempt at emotional and moral manipulation is how they are approaching this issue. It's pathetic.

I hear this all the time, but you’re sooo unlikely to be important enough for this to actually matter. And even if it did happen, the attacker would still need your password (and sometimes your phone number) first.
It's not easily disprovable because all the evidence supports its existence. I see identical criticisms of global warming. Which is so difficult to disprove on account of all the evidence supporting its existence. It would be easy to disprove either. You would just need the evidence to show they are wrong.
This literally happened to me today. I left my shitshow of a job because I finally got fed up with the petty favoritism, backstabbing, inability to deal with conflict in a reasonable and adult manner, and just plain poor management.

And I legitimately felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
> since the storage is encrypted at rest with the key stored in the Secure Enclave

Bitlocker on W10 allows you to export the long key it to a file or printer. I've used this to swap SSDs from family members laptops with out much friction. This makes for simple upgrades or getting them going quickly after a failure. Perhaps Apple's implementation is different, but it doesn't need to be.

> (Also, a brand new laptop has just as much chance of being stolen or suffering water damage or mistaken file erasure or a thousand other things that would destroy the data. Two months without backup is lunacy)

For laptops used mostly at home, it's surprisingly difficult to kill the SSD inside them. Everyone's risk is different.
People that have this need have the skill to install the required tool.

> The turn away from the humanities is a sign of competitive schooling’s most far-reaching effect: It perverts our culture’s understanding of what education is, and makes us forget that schooling has value beyond status seeking.

This seems to be the crux of the article. If only people would study humanities instead of science & engineering. Science & engineering isn't a real education.

I disagree.

I derive great pleasure from the engineering & science education I received in college. I haven't the slightest interest in French Literature, etc., and don't feel at all deprived for not being educated in it.
> i don’t understand why you think this is a huge gotcha ... most vegans are oriented around harm reduction

Avoiding a true scotsman fallacy aside, the OP was strongly centering their argument on "no violence against animals". If you deem pointing that out a gotcha, so be it.

> either way, the causal chain between me and the rotisserie chicken is far shorter than between me and the tiny bit of cobalt in my iphone.

I think assuming that the length of the causal chain lightens one's responsibility is a fallacy. By that token a drone operator would have less ethical responsibility than a boots-on-ground marine, a stockholder would be less culpable than a laborer for the consequences of market activity, and consumers would always be the most innocent as by definition they are the end users of any causality chain.

People's tendency for going after only what is most salient creates the most difficult ethical problems.
It was an honest mistake, I misunderstood that it meant to show something cool you have identified on internet. Sorry if I caused any trouble.
I've been a member of a team that had that happen to it (the crew all showed up), and boy was it toxic! They would only work with one another, couldn't deal with people outside their crew, actively sabotaged people to keep them in control, etc.

It's great when the people doing it are cool, but when they're using it for evil it can ruin an entire department.
dude.. what? that's freakin messed up! wow!
Well now we have WebAssembly being marketed for such purposes as if it was the first of its kind.

My God, shut the fuck up.

As someone who lives in the skin whose representation you're getting this agitated about: please work out your unresolved messiah complex without involving me or other minorities. The histrionics you've put on display, over what is a basic knowledge claim, suggest to me that you are unhealthily invested in this question. On the basic logic of the question, you're just wrong: correlation is never necessarily causation, period. That's my entire point.

Everything else you dragged into this is just your misguided striving bullshit, and I invite you to please take it anywhere else, Ally.
That reminds me, what other popular sites which are HTTP only (and no HTTPS)?
I think you have pointed to the problem, a lot of people likely bought an EV without thinking it fully through. Being generous, you could also imagine life situations changing in a way unfavourable to the practicality of the EV. Rental runs out and your new place doesn't have off-street parking, maybe you lose your job that had charging available etc.
>I would just say that anyone who claims they won't get ahead even if they try because of systemic racism is being ignorant. They might have to try harder than a white person would. They might face some adversity, but there really is no excuse for not trying. It would literally perpetuate the problem.

Not only does systemic racism exist, not only has the environment succeeded in inducing a victim mentality in this person, you are now blaming them for it? Classical "pull yourself by your bootstraps" bullshit. Do you really not see how dehumanizing your viewpoint is, and how such attitudes help perpetuate that person's inaction?

>As someone who also spends a lot of time thinking about global warming there is a tendency to have bouts of feeling doomed here and there.

Not to belittle your own existential fears, but feeling doomed due to global warming at least doesn't make you feel like there's something wrong with you in particular.

It's strange - people with a victim mentality are victims of their victim mentality. It's recursive and self-fulfilling, and it does take some amount of bootstrapping - which is, however, perfectly impossible in the absence of a bootloader and someone to push the power button.
Looking at the page, the prototypes may be too realistic.

Preliminary Findings of mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons
Something which hasn't been able to be answered for me on this yet:

Where are all the bats infected with this virus? It it came from a bat, it would have had to be circulating in the bat population a LOT to mutate enough to jump to humans, right?

So...why not go find a bad, identify the parent virus, and close this whole thing out?
> People try to claim that it really doesn't matter where you go to college. That's not true.

There's probably edge cases, like for some startup founders or supreme court justices, but for the more "advantaged" than average children, it largely doesn't seem to matter in aggregate (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228303493_Estimatin...)
I've seen so many comments online from people saying that Apple claimed there was water damage when they were sure that there wasn't. I bet there's something wrong with their water ingress detectors.
The thing is your entire post is about investment and making money or losing money...what does that have to do with p2p electronic currency and the democratization of money?

Buy/hodl has converted the concept for electronic currency, if there really ever was one, into a money making endeavor based on your current wealth and ability to risk a loss. That’s the antithesis of democratization, or 1 person 1 vote, but a I was here first so that makes me king now get on your knees and grovel at my supremacy.

The only real way to look at Bitcoin is as if there is an AI operating in the background with the sole intent of taking “investors” money through constant cycles of FOMO pump and dumps. It’s a stock without any assets or profits backing its value, at any point the shareholders could just start a new company and nothing would be lost by abandoning Bitcoin, because it’s just a shell company with nothing inside.
+1 to this -- good point! It sounds like the legacy project that the parent comment mentioned probably wasn't a "good" project in this respect, though.

This has a number of advantages vs. the `export` syntax used in Grain, too. Being able to look at one `.mli` file for a well-documented public interface is much easier than looking through a source file for what's been exported and what hasn't.
Most foreigners have visas that require them to continue working for the same company, or leave the country.

Even if the problem isn't immediate deportation, changing jobs might reset a time counter which is needed for other visas. There's often a requirement of 2 to 5 years continuous relevant work experience. In such circumstances, the only remaining option is to shut up, sit tight, and turn the other cheek.
So America won't be able to use cheap labor for cheap price decimating the USA fracturing in the process?

Yeah sure. We've just lost 3 million lives, let's kill the rest of the planet as consolation. As fucked up as our politicians are I hope they are not ready to die.

You are right that it’s always good to discuss these feelings and events immediately. Try out the book ”Nonviolent Communication” if you haven’t.
> The idea that this is a movement against elites when it is literally spearheaded by an elite is just absurd.

Yet if you cast your gaze upon history, you'll find that many social movements are indeed led against members of a political class by members of that very same political class. Many leaders of communist revolutions, for example, come from wealthy families and not the oppressed proletariat that they claim to represent.

Yes, Trump is an elite. However, he was still able to present himself as being against the elites, especially because he doesn't move in the same social circles as those elites.
