For food production, the intention is that at least the mechanics of capitalism can mitigate bad products. Incarceration has multiple purposes in a society, to which one can argue over the effect or desire, but the main ones are:

- Person who did bad thing should be punished

- People should not want to do bad things because that would lead to punishment

- People who do bad things should be stopped from doing more bad things

- People who have done bad things should learn and/or be given the means to do things differently

The last one is pretty big in a lot of places outside the US, and vice versa for the first one. Regardless, the difference between incarcerating people to fulfill these functions, and creating a product for people to buy, are fundamentally different in a capitalistic setting. Private businesses wish to maximize profit. Then, one should consider the effect of this in each case. So let's do that.

Food? Well, you make the process cheaper or more effective, and otherwise there are regulations in place in order to not cause harm or deceive. You try to get as many as possible to buy your product. However, if you do not make a product that people want, then, you don't get to sell it. Whether or not one thinks capitalism is a good thing, one could argue that this in its intention, can function OK.

Prisons? How do you maximize profit? The selling point is to also make it more effective. This is indeed OK. The moral problem is the other parts of maximizing profit: increasing the prison population, spending less on treating the prison population, less on education and rehabilitation, why not also make them do stuff? All of this would increase the profit margin. As I mentioned, rules and regulation can mitigate this, similar to how they can exist for food in terms of not using harmful ingredients, etc.

But fundamentally, there is a moral component to how one treats other people, that doesn't exist for how one produces a product.

To answer your question succinctly: no. Not unless it's inmates making carrot soup through forced labour.
It is definitely not expensive to play soccer in the US, unless this is another weird Bay Area thing. To play in an official rec league like she mentioned does have a bit more cost associated, but in NYC area every league I've seen is < $100 for the season, which will usually span 3 months. Compared to the cost of playing pickup that's expensive, but it's also definitely not a rich person hobby. The cost of a few streaming services or buying a few video games over the course of the year will be more than playing a season or two of soccer.

> By moving away from RDBMS we have successfully freed ourselves from the restricting schema-bound limitations of RDBMS and been able to churn code very quickly. This has allowed for higher agility of teams.

The whole article is a fantastic example of why moving away from RDBMS has reduced the agility of teams. They have to bake relationships into their schema (sometimes even duplicating data into multiple different hierarchies), instead of having the flexibility to join tables together in a multitude of patterns on an ad-hoc basis. It makes sense as a performance optimisation if you have a lot of data. But otherwise it's just slowing you down.

Any change to the shape of the data in that database which could be in a backwards compatible way in a "schemaless" database can also be made in a backwards compatible way in a database with a schema (and making the change is literally a 5 minute task - less if you're just messing around in a dev environment). And with a schema you have the added advantage that you'll be notified if you accidentally make non-backwards compatible changes.

This is why it’s vital to identify genius at an early age (it’s mostly genetic, so the parents provide a big clue) and promote those with the ability regardless of their background or circumstances. Trying to lift the masses a few IQ points is largely a waste of time. Pluck the gifted and grow them. This is how our civilisation advances.
I was at an open zoo in south Thailand about 8 years ago and they had an open field with elephants and zebras roaming together.

A zebra walked past the elephant and the elephant whacked the zebra on the butt with his trunk. The zebra got a fight and jumped and ran off, which prompted the elephant to throw his trunk in air, throw his head back, and make a noise.

I’ve always thought that was the elephant laughing at scaring the zebra.

Shitty behaviour can be out of ignorance or carelessness, but for follks on the other side of it, thats not much better
I don't think we have many redundancies, especially after all of this upgrade work.

When we deprecate user-facing functionality, that's done with our product managers making the call, and involves usage data and a lot of coordination with our user support people. It's always a tough call, because someone out there won't be happy, but we have to choose the best path forward we can see at every given moment.
It's such a tiny thing, but being able to paste code with pipelines into iex is a great quality of life improvement.
Even without the race element - there’s definitely a class thing.

I noticed it when I moved to the Bay Area after growing up in western New York. The types of foods people ate or didn’t eat, the restaurants people would or would not go to.

The shows people would or would not watch, even the way people talked. I think I hadn’t really seen the difference in class behavior before in America. Now it’s easy to see it.

A lot of it is tightly correlated to wealth and a lot of it reminds me of things the author describes (fear of not being able to find a job, fear of just “taking a year off” because it sounds financially crazy), but it’s not only about wealth really.

You can be poor and still act more “upper class” and you can be rich and still act “working class”. It’s a lot of little things people do in preferences and how they talk/behave.
By that argument, all criticism of software is technical.

The argument is that it's not done due to incompetence, but commercial strategies.
Some things were also pretty hard back then (a few years later but still). When you were too young for university and your environment was not academic, getting access to information was so difficult. I remember when we made a school trip to London and I spent all my savings for programming and computer graphic books. There was no wikipedia, no scihub, no blogs, no Github. New coding or hacking e-zines were treated like gold and sometimes I spent multiple months of my savings to get 1 book!

If Harvard is anything like Oxford and Cambridge in the UK, it's not just that you didn't expose yourself, elite universities have their own stratification, between ones born rich who went to the most elite of private schools _before_ they went to university, where they likely _arrived_ with some connections already, and the ordinary public who got in through work and talent but can have anywhere from that level to absolutely nothing in terms of pre-existing connections and the learned social behaviours to then get them.

Right, but before social media other people made direct contact (phone, ICQ, Skype...) just as much as I did - now they feel it's enough to post on social media, and if you don't participate in that then you must make the contact.

My grandmother gets 2-5 random calls from her friends daily, the last unexpected call I received from a friend was in 2013 as we all switched to social media posting/commenting then.
Super cool technology. It will be interesting to see how this develops, for me google seem to struggle with hardware products, even more with consumer hardware products. I can't see where it fits in to the google ecosystem and how people will access it.

I could imagine Apple selling this in a re-imagined Apple TV with an Apple TV Facetime App. They could probably build something now with the FaceID sensor array / iPhone Camera system / M1 chip plugged into a 4k TV.
Upon further investigation (Copy-pasting things from random internet webpages like a good HN would do), running the following two commands seemed to help get the Yubikey SSH running a little more reliably with Github for me, including with Tower.app after making sure it has the correct PATH setup:

`eval `ssh-agent -s``
`ssh-add`

Without the eval ssh-agent command, `ssh-add` fails to add the ECDSA-SK key since Mac OS' SSH implementation doesn't seem to natively support it. I don't understand how running eval ssh-agent resolves it because that shouldn't persist very long with Mac OS' own SSH agent trying to run.

I don't think GP's point was that firefighting should be a career open to felons, but rather that the fact that it's not, combines with the fact that prisoners are often doing firefighter work, means that clearly it's not about giving them an avenue for getting qualifications and get a job when they're released.

Do you really think this? I know the sticks. You apparently don't. You can live off potatoes, eggs, and oatmeal and not be fat. Those are available anywhere.

There is a "poor" culture, there is an "elite" culture, and then there is a "responsibility" culture. I grew up financially poor in a manufactured home in the sticks, but my culture of my parents was that of "responsibility". Know the difference.
Thanks for the considered reply. I don’t think it would be cold and I don’t think I would have such a visceral reaction. I think the offhand tone implies a kind of misplaced confidence and shutting down of conversation - almost contempt - which is not a good way to start a conversation.

Yes. You are working late, someone comes by your desk to empty your trash. You say hi and thank you. Especially once to realize you see the same person every night.
In the overview section the author states:

>"... there is no self-modifying code, no transport-triggered calculation, and no other form of non-mov cheating."

Could someone say what is meant by "transport-triggered calculation"? Also how does "self-modifying code" work in the context of such constraints exactly? I had a look through the "mov is Turing-complete" paper referenced in this README but didn't come across these.

Not sure my comment will bring anything to change your opinion, you seem to be already a hardcore antiporn person, and I can't defend sex work either because yeah I know it's got a lot of seedy aspects to it; but no, they're not literal prostitutes, cam girls and OnlyFans models have the advantage that they can earn money without having to be in contact with other bodies and potential diseases they bring.

I know some girls who are prostitutes. They seem normal enough. Maybe they're wearing a facade and have hidden PTSDs, I don't know, but if that's the case, I think you might want to extend your crusade against the military.
The "do what you want with the software I wrote freely, even if you gain money with it and give nothing in return" approach sounds pretty virgin to me
Adopt a mentee. They need a teacher. Remember that when you offer guidance, it needs to be comprehensible and actionable and directed towards a coherent goal.

Telling someone to reflect, for example, is none of those. Instead, tell someone to remember that what people show and what people feel can be different when they assume about another's mental state based on appearances.
If this leads to a mass exodus from Freenode, it'll probably significantly reduce overall IRC usage.

Communities will fracture, people will set up random splinter networks that will die off in a few months, and lots of open-source projects that already want to be using something Javascripty like Slack or Discord are going to use this as the motivating thing to make the switch.

Personally I'm staying put on Freenode because I don't see a lot of user-facing impact potential here, and IRC was already essentially untrusted/public (yes, even your private messages - you don't really know who is relaying them and how trustworthy they are).
Did you grow up poor, as she did? If not, then you are missing the important context of what it’s like to grow up in a food scarce environment.
Two Different Views of What Decoupled Code Means
It happens across class lines _but_ I find that it's not the same degree. I find that the more used you are to people cleaning up after you the less that you thank them/acknowledge them for doing so. The teenage "I can leave my trash here - they have cleaning staff to clean it up!" mentality seems to be more prevalent the higher income your background is.

I say hello to the cleaning staff, security staff, delivery drivers, food service workers, etc at work. I can't get my job done unless they're there, and I am acutely aware that our professional experience and treatment by management is significantly different.
I was one of the first to wear a mask. I made them from tissue paper and staples and rubber bands. I would get weird looks for being the only one in the store that had a mask. 6 months later, when I got masks with valves, I staryed double masking. I never wore a mask in the open though. Just kept my distance from people and that's it. Especially in the state parks, that would make zero sense.
I hope newspapers actually look at the alternative though. Some websites are so poor that I preferred sharing the AMP page instead of the original page since the article was not readable on the latter. That’s right. It was so ad- and popup-infested that it was literally useless.

AMP wasn’t cancer; The web itself is. Visit some non-major or local website and you’ll see they’re absolute rubbish, especially those that work on the web, like news agencies.

It's irc.libera.chat, and seems to work fine here, though servers are understandably dealing with a surge (particularly on nick registration).
All these machines end up involving one or more FPGAs -- to varying degrees -- simply because of the requirements and logistics. There's varying types of purism involved ("FPGA only where we would have used a custom chip" or "FPGA but not for the CPU" etc) but once you start down that path the whole thing starts to seem silly as with many of these machines the entire functionality could be done on a single relatively inexpensive FPGA but isn't for purist reasons. And then you start realizing how arbitrary many of these projects are. They're admittedly nostalgia projects, but everyone's definition of what nostalgia is for them differs. Attempts to make it more "canonical" are made by locking down the FPGA use, or keep the source to it closed, but again... arbitrary.

In a way this is why I'm personally more interested in the MEGA65 project because it's all-in on the FPGA angle, all open source, and has focused more on the stuff that makes these projects actually logistically tricky: cases, keyboards, packaging, distribution, toolchains, OS, etc. And backwards compatible with the C64/C128, which is something the X16 and the C256 can't be.

It's taking a long time to finish, but I think it's really neat. And I feel like the developers are taking themselves a little less seriously/dogmatically and seem fun.

On one hand you have FCA (I'm sorry, Stellantis) which leans into its not so positive reputation and does just fine.

The other hand you have Toyota who spend the 90s and 00s digging a goodwill moat in the minds of premium consumers.

Both approaches work but for different demographics. You'll never see a 4Runner with a magnetic company sticker sitting in an industrial parking lot or in less well off part of town and you'll never see a Pacifica in an upscale suburban driveway.

If you want to learn it for job interviews, I've got to say, just trawling through hacker rank[1] practice questions for C++. Read the question, attempt the question, read up on the theory behind the question and read the discussion pages. Then maybe attempt a similar question from some other very similiar sites. It's very possible to just cover all the possible questions and it's probably going to give you the tools you need to answer any interview coding test. The only real thing it sometimes doesn't give you is recognizing which algorithm to use for a specific problem - very often interview questions are very poorly disguised variations on "do you know what a dictionary is and how it's implemented".

To learn more deeply about algorithms I'd probably start off with MIT courses.

Not exactly. There are a lot of possible scenarios where the data isn't last, but can't be automatically restored. A broken tape for example isn't lost data, but it will be a big pain to recover from. If the data isn't properly indexed you will have a big problem figuring out what file goes to what machine, but the data can still be there.

You will have a hard time to find a backup program that doesn't have a good and tested restore procedure. However that doesn't mean it works in your particular edge cases.

Even if the backups would work perfectly, this forced downtime might the best time to apply some change that your admins have known should be done for a while but couldn't afford the downtime. (you couldn't do a schema update, but there are some smaller config changes that still require taking the master database done for a bit)
