I have followed this building up on Twitter and as someone not intimately familiar with this.

> The ruling party released a fake document

It very well might be(not that I know about this), but how did Twitter figure this out? As far as I understand, there has been accusations from both sides without proof.

I will be really scared if Twitter is taking a stand based on their judgement of what might have happened.

Already, censorship and control by social media platforms is on a slippery slope. We can't let them become the arbiters of truth. It might suit one side today but might not suit the same tomorrow when decision comes from a black box.

Also, yes these platforms are private spaces but they hold too much power in shaping the public discourse.
It's very hard to avoid artificial self dealing between related entities. The OECD transfer pricing arm's length principle [0] is supposed to somewhat solve that.

The problem regarding transfer pricing is that the US, the Netherlands, Ireland, Luxemburg, plus most of the places generally reputed to be tax havens have holes in their law you can fly an Antonov AN-225 [1] through.

Great question! This is true of every industry, not just tech, but essentially it boils down to this: the job ad is for the ideal candidate. Sometimes you'll see ads for things like "10 years of Go experience" and then you look it up and you see that Go has only been around for 10 years! How many people can satisfy that?! Well, they can't, but wouldn't it be great if we got someone who could?

It's kind of like dating. You fill out your Tinder profile and you say you want someone SMART and FUNNY and BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED and INDEPENDENT and NERDY but also ATHLETIC and WANTS TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU and MAKES A LOT OF MONEY and HAS COOL PARENTS and ENJOYS THE SAME THINGS YOU DO and and and and...

And then you go on dates, and you realize that that perfect person doesn't exist, so on a case-by-case basis you say, "This person is smart and funny and talented and nerdy and I love spending time with them, but not the most attractive or the most athletic, and you know, that's OK!" or maybe "This person is beautiful and funny and athletic, and they also can't carry a tune or understand the complexities of my work life... but I can deal with that!" or in many cases, "This person ticks off every one of those boxes except.... we don't have anything in common and our conversations are boring... so no thanks."

Similarly, we have job descriptions that are say that we want someone with these 100 different things... and then we get the applicants in and pick the ones that satisfy as many of them as we possibly can. OK, so maybe you don't have 10 years of Go experience, but you have 5 years of Python experience AND you built your own CI/CD pipeline? That's cool! Let's talk. I can teach you Go, and you can bring your CI/CD genius to the table!

It's about putting your ideal case out there and seeing what comes in and then deciding what to compromise on.

If this sounds weird to you, consider the alternative: posting the minimum requirements. It would like filling out your Tinder profile and saying you want someone who CAN BREATHE and HAS SKIN and BATHES SOMETIMES. lol, how big of a disaster would THAT be?

(The big secret is: apply for any job that looks interesting, whether you think you satisfy the requirements or not. You never know! Honestly, most of it's for SEO anyway.)

Does that help?
‘Lucifer’ Season 5 Part 2 soon to be released on Netflix

I was inspired to go into psychology after reading Malcom Gladwell, Freakonomics, et al. Net-net the degree was disapointing. In some ways an intuitive sense of people is superior to what the field's been able to discover. 'Noise' is a good descriptor.

Thank god I transferred into CS.

I used to work at a company in the chip-design software space that built Linux-only software for $100k/user/year, so there's definitely money to be made for Linux (even if it happens to be niche software).
Here’s the relevant rule (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#2.5...):

> Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps. Educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code provided that such code is not used for other purposes. Such apps must make the source code provided by the Application completely viewable and editable by the user.

I’d say the post you were replying to uses the wrong word (“interpreted”, I usually say it can't run "arbitrary" code), but the rule is more specific than your description as well.
Treesitter is not JS (although the Wasm version can be used from JS). Lezer (https://github.com/lezer-parser/lezer) is similar (it was inspired by Treesitter) and is written in TS.
I haven't done something like that on an iPad, but I think that Apple want people to use these devices in a way that every app have their files, like for example iPods used to store the music (you could drop files on the iPod storage but you need iTunes to insert your MP3s on the "player app").

The best thing you could do is looking for a tutorial to do that, and also a software to control that iPad remotely, so you don't have to videocall your mother to give her instructions.

I sometimes create a makefile with "it so: build" so that I can make it so :)
In mathematics we roughly have two ways to discovering new things: one is the theoretical approach (eg Galois and his theory that proves the none-solutions for fifth degree polynomial equations) and the other is the more adhoc technique-driven approaches (e.g. you can see the ingenuity of that in many of Erdos proofs). Of course the categorization is not always so clear-cut you often get a mixed of both worlds.

I think it’s very similar when it comes to writing code. The more theoretical driven approach, the more structures you’ve got at your disposal to reason about things (eg see Mochizuki’s proof of the abc conjecture).

For example, should you use monad in a small project? Maybe not. But if you are dealing with thousands lines of code every week you may find that if you reimplement some components as monads then suddenly refactoring gets easier and you can extend things more easily without having to do a global search and modify all the occurrences of a certain thing every time you make changes to the type, etc

So ultimately you are offloading cognitive efforts to structures, which are really just constructs to optimize cost-to-transform (though it may increase the cost-to-execute (both computationally as well as mental-visualization/simulation-wise))

So is it worth the effort to work with structures? It really depends on the project you are working on or what you see yourself building in the next 10 years

Depending on how you see your career it’s always good to be a bit more ambitious
Yup I’ve been working in email marketing for a long time and this is what I do if I need a regex. I remember when .mobi TLD came out and people with those address had a terrible time signing up for things because a bunch of developers got too cute and assumed a TLD could only be 2 or 3 characters. You want to be really lax in what you validate.
> 2. You still need safety nets for when someone is doing dangerous operations without dry-run.

Another important property is idempotency. Especially if the script involves network requests or moving files around, you'll want to reach the goal by re-running in case something breaks half-way.
Could it be that people legitimately disagree with you, without being quislings or whatever? I think what has changed is the deligitimization of differing opinions and the dehumanization of people who hold them. That has become normalized - ok, even encouraged behavior - for a certain political grouping, which is indeed deadly to a democracy, where the foundation is respecting each other's opinions - i.e., we each get an equal vote. If you don't embrace that, then that is what has changed.

Part of freedom is that others are free to do things you don't like and I don't like, including Facebook, Google, and Twitter. The owner of a business can forbid discussion of a topic, such as sports, and kick out or fire anyone who doesn't comply. Heck, they can kick out or fire people for (almost) any reason or without a reason at all. It's their business; they are free.

Free speech is a restriction on the government's actions, not on a business's: Government is limited in restricting speech and similarly it is limited in restricting the behavior of private businesses (though not as limited as when restricting speech).

Private organizations also have good reasons, IMHO, to restrict speech. If you were at a restaurant and insulting people at neighboring tables, the restaurant would be right to kick you out. If you were at a political discussion club and insisted on repeating disinformation, they would be right to kick you out. You would be hurting the experience and value for other members. But private organizations also restrict speech in ways I object to.
You've articulated your argument very well with the "collective bargaining" metaphor. I like it.

I still strongly disagree that consoles and smart phones should be treated the same way by society just because the underlying hardware is more or less the same. I think we should start with a human-centric view. As in: if consoles disappeared tomorrow how much would the world change? Now what if smartphones did? How would that change the world?

If smartphones disappeared then the world would be entirely different. We are dependant on them for everything from personal and collective security, business and personal communication, to banking, to commerce, and access to knowledge.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm in my 40's and remember a time before smart phones existed, and before game consoles were commonplace. There is no comparison. None. Equating the two because the underlying electronics are the same entirely misses the forest for the trees. Though it's not entirely surprising that HN users would think this way - we tend to think of the underlying tech first and foremost.

Let me use a metaphor - Facebook and Google should be treated differently than a niche message board even though the underlying technology is the same. Right? They are both servers running compiled or interpreted code. They both connect to databases. They both allow users to communicate and share content.

The main difference is the impact they have on society.

Smartphones have become indispensable infrastructure for much of the world. Consoles are a luxury item.
What do you mean? People were offended by the content, reacting with tidbits like "they couldn't relate to it" and "they felt that the message was explicitly excluding them" even though the message was to "Go Vote" and only had one single human female hand in it.

To have people react like that, when the message was so far removed from race & gender, shows just how much work has to be done to minimize offense taken by any piece of content.

Strongly disagreed with your claim of "belittling".

Edit: I get downvoted a lot on this site without explanation. Really struggling to understand how this comment is worth downvotes but no responses...

Is that lt and lb and rt and rb buttons in the corners?

I keep hoping software-bindable shoulder buttons would become standard on phones. Beyond the challenge of touchscreen face buttons, the lack of triggers is a huge limiter.

> Corporations have a fiduciary obligation to maximize shareholder value.

I understand this statement to mean "Corporations have a fiduciary obligation to maximize shareholder value [within the law]".

Do corporations have a fiduciary obligation to change the law, as in your interpretation?

I relate to u/pitched on getting sucked into Diablo 2 and missing out on other experiences. I’m still growing up emotionally, and back then I was basically a child, like Tom Hanks in the movie “Big”, and also in graduate school. I missed out on: making more/closer friends, making more connections with people (networking towards career options, etc), physical exercise (I was active but needed more training for my core; this is clear now as I age), emotional maturity, reading books (always been a reader thanks to my parents reading to me a lot, but Diablo 2 and World of Warcraft put a big dent in time spent learning from authors), practicing music (“It’s Never Too Late”, book by John Holt on learning cello later in life), practicing other art, writing letters to friends and family, … the list goes on, and those are the main ones off the top of my head. I tend not to stray into regret about the time I sunk into these games, and instead to reevaluate how I spend my time and attention in the present moment.
In looking back, it seems I was hiding from emotions, from unresolved adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and those game pass-times made it easier to avoid facing my fears (or failure, of being vulnerable, and more I may not yet be aware of). I graduated largely thanks to a couple caring friends who saw my potential and invested in me.
I try to be open enough these days to be helpful to others with whom my life experience resonates, so that they might be more-aware of opportunities as they arise, and more-able to switch gears and go.
In general, you wouldn't expect SPA or hybrid-SPA architectures to have scale coupling between the front-end and backend, because you'll be hitting specific APIs more aggressively than you'll be downloading the SPAs (even in a mixed-render environment). In addition, if your backend is serving multiple channels, then you've got another source of incoming requests, and it wouldn't be ideal to spinning up additional webservers when only the business logic tier needs to scale out.

In general, the "one container per pod, usually" rule works pretty well. Adding more pods does create additional cognitive complexity, but by the time you need k8s, you really should have someone, or a team of someones, responsible for dealing with that -- I find that too often folks reach for Kubernetes when they could use a simpler container strategy (RIP, somewhat, Docker Swarm).
A little later for me. I last used bang paths in 1994, when I had a UUCP feed.
Bill is calling for higher capital gains and inheritance taxes, so not income taxes anyway.

The ‘Millionaires for Humanity’ don’t specify what taxes they’d like to see raised, but they emphasize they want it on themselves.

And from the third article:

> Several members, including Molly Munger, the daughter of Charlie Munger, the longtime vice-chairman of Warren Buffett’s firm, Berkshire Hathaway, have spoken in favor of a wealth tax.
> Isn't that the whole basis of capitalism?

I think it's only exacerbated by government intervention (corruption) and regulatory capture.

I do agree that human nature tends to winners and losers, but right now the losers are being bashed over the head by a tool they think is helping them.

These days it seems like people make a library, and they never get to documenting it properly until someone offers them a book deal. And they can't just put all of than knowledge immediately in the docs otherwise who would still buy the book?

From outside this looks like they're holding out on us.

Some tools require google stalking the maintainer in order to synthesize explanations from six different places into a Theory of the System of how the thing is supposed to work. Apache Ant, for a memorable one.

That's not the full image. The full image (https://twitter.com/MerseyPolice/status/1395783747115618306) has a lot of detail in the palm area - enough to get a match I'd assume, if they have his full palm print on file.

Even if it's not a super high probability match, it could have been enough to give them a name and find more evidence.

I don't buy that they'd make up the story _and then tweet proudly about it_, especially when the image they posted is so easy to be sceptical about because of the blur.

By memory, it feels like M-Disk was a bit "too late" to the party.

By that point, BluRays came out and it was cheaper/more reasonable to just double-write your data on two BluRays. Eventually, M-Disk BluRays came out, but no one used optical anymore.

M-Disks were probably the best archival format for optical when they came out (at least, if their archive-quality claims are truly as good as they claim). But they always were a bit more expensive and/or late to the party. Being #1 in optical when optical is dying is not really a win...
Windows Phone 8.1 was the pinnacle of modern smartphone UX and is still far ahead of Android, with BB10 OS being the only serious competitor.

Verizon Wireless Outage
Catch-22. When they don’t they’re attacked for harbouring, and allowing the algorithmic spread of, fake news.

Besides, sites like Facebook and Twitter started to “get in the middle of these things” the moment they stopped simply showing you a chronological series of posts from people/pages you follow; to a weighted interest system, based on opaque algorithms.
I think it's helpful to distinguish between "not whitewashing" (i.e., representing the actual demographics) and actively showing the demographics some wish the industry had (which is also what whitewashing is, although whitewashing only applies when the desired demographics are white). Your comment seems to appeal to "not whitewashing", but Apple here appears to be promoting its own desired demographics or else they would probably use characters who are either racially ambiguous (e.g., the yellow emojis) or else representative of the larger industry.

Of course, there's the possibility that I'm reading too much into Apple's intent based on this one sample. If we wanted to be more certain we would have to do a more robust analysis.

Maybe, but they are less regressive.

States without income taxes usually rely on sales or excise taxes. In a “high tax” state like New York, poor people don’t pay income tax nor sales tax on food or clothing. (A significant expense) Usually high tax pressure is from property tax.

In a state like South Carolina, you have income tax, but property taxes are very low. They make up for that by taxing food, which results in higher taxation for poor and elderly people.
sudosysgen says>" In China people go to the hospital for a cold routinely. People also used to do so in my country until the government cracked down on it, fwiw."

Yes, but these were three staff who work with infectious diseases and so would not be expected to use hospital resources frivolously. In fact, they would be considered shirkers to do so for a cold. If a doctor at a hospital needs an aspirin he merely takes it - he doesn't check into the hospital, take a bed, etc.
They wouldn't have made it if the US had high tax rates like Europe either. You can't have your cake and eat it as well.

herman miller aeron with all the bells & whistles + an after market headrest. I also considered dozens of other chairs, but it came down to various steelcase models (including the leap & lounge) & the HM aeron. I really wanted a headrest and I wanted to resell it easily down the line (HM aerons arent easily refurbished, they are iconic, and so they sell for more $$$ than a used steelcase) - so i went with HM.

I bought mine open box return from an authorized reseller, during a HM 15% sale, with an extra discount from the reseller for $600 off new retail. It is literally like new. In 10-20 years, assuming the HM used market is the same as it is now, I will be able to sell it for 50% of what I bought it for. Meaning it cost me roughly $450

Now for the review of the chair itself:

It is good, but not mind blowing or life changing like some HM fanatics will have you believe. It is a decent chair, I have back, neck, hip, etc issues and it does help - but to be honest I expected the chair to be better than it is.

I have sat in a steelcase leap, a HM embody, a haworth zody, and many others. No office chair out there blew me away, but the build quality, aesthetics, and resale of the HM helped sway me in the end.
Electricity is subsidized in many developing countries and the miners significantly siphon off of the primary resource that keeps them(farmers and others who come out of the poverty cycle) going, significantly increasing the odds against such people. Why did it take so long? India and many other countries would ban them outright - sooner or later.
