Fox News Is mainstream news. It literally is the most watched network

If you view Fox News as one of many competing news outlets, sure, it's got a big voice. But I'd urge you to view it in terms of collective narrative. The left-leaning narrative bubble is far larger than Fox News by more than an order of magnitude. When CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS, the AP, NYT, WaPo, ESPN, late-night comedy hosts, Twitter, Facebook, etc. are all driving the same narrative that it's conspiracy theory to consider the Wuhan Institute of Virology as a possible source of COVID... Fox News' mild protestations to the contrary are insignificant in terms of bandwidth into the American psyche.

FYI: ZFS root on Ubuntu 20.04 is supported in the installer. Encrypted ZFS isn't supported in the installer, but is relatively easy to do: https://linsomniac.gitlab.io/post/2020-04-09-ubuntu-2004-enc...

I've been running with encrypted root ZFS on a couple workstations for over a year now, and it's worked great!
Thanks! Hard to read much into that call other than Microsoft folks 1) Read Hacker News and 2) Are targeting it as an audience for which they would like to be more popular in.

You had made it sound like some sort of coordinated astroturfing operation.
Backyard chickens will love to eat tasty ticks.
I welcome this introspection but its interesting to place this line of thinking on other fields ; Medicine (doctors), Law (lawyers), Science and even Mathematics.

What part of "Poelitism is when you believe everyone had the same path of experience you had when learning the same area of expertise" applies to those fields as well?

Well any evidence is probably long gone and cleaned up and swept under the rug now.
A REPL is more expressive, allows for graphical and structured output and regardless of UNIX culture books it precedes it by at least 10 years.
With interpreted languages, "printf debugging" is really easy. It's one of their main advantages. I'd rather have "bash -x" and be able to edit the script than lose those features in order to gain gdb.
How you feel about this completely legitimate, but it simply means that you are not the customer they're serving.
I've heard criticism of Maui (e.g. being fat, which apparently is a stereotype), but as Disney goes, I think Moana the film was pretty respectful.

But Disney seems to think “we made a film of this” entitles them to Intellectual Property ownership of all the concepts the film covers.

Edit: the HN title was edited to be more accurate (thanks!), so the criticism below no longer applies.

If you're going to make a claim about there being a pattern, like the OP very confidently did in the title, you can't just generalize from one example. There needs to be at least some token effort put into establishing that the pattern is real. Otherwise it's dishonest click-bait.

There are dozens, probably hundreds, of different web analytics tools. Are users of those having similar problems, preferably at a meaningful scale? No? Then maybe you shouldn't be implying that there is some kind of a policy against non-GA web analytics software.
While true, it kinda hides another issue as well. Salary hasn't really improved in almost 15 yrs now, so youths that are currently employed make barely more than the existential minimum.

Germany has issues as well, even though that specific statistic looks good
1. System configuration has always been the bottleneck to learning programming, so much so that the first sentence of paulg's learn to program guide is this:

Find a friend who knows how to program. Get them to set you up with a system where you can edit and run programs
http://www.paulgraham.com/pfaq.html

2. Javascript has been good to me, but NodeJS, webpack and the community around it has been particularly bad for this. The move by maintainers towards lower configuration, more opinionated tools is a good step in the right direction, but many people who are general experts in web standards have been shut out of the web's main programming language over the last 5 years or so.
Yeah, except that jq, beyond 'jq .' is horribly unfriendly.
Rob Finch wrote a 6809 FPGA implementation that has extensions to support 32-bit (addressing)

http://www.finitron.ca/Cores/CPUCores/rtf6809.html

https://github.com/robfinch/Cores/tree/master/rtf6809

It might not be difficult to extend what he has to 64-bits.

The 6809 is perhaps the ultimate 8-bit CISC processor. If VAX was the ultimate 32-bit CISC, the 6809 was the ultimate 8-bit. Made to be 'fun' to program in assembly, with an elegant expressive instruction set. After playing in 6502, the 6809 is so lovely in contrast.
Depending on your zone, growing bamboo or letting the grassland to grow tall enough will attract them back.

Or, have something that will eat the ticks, like chickens. They come with their own problems, but they will also pay their way with pasture-raised eggs that are better than the cage-free stuff you get from stores.
The thead isn't a child of tbody anyway; you can just make tbody scrollable for this, no?

Edit oh I missed the "x" there, I see.
I dont see the connection really.

Some common sense applies. Selling services to a mainstream politician isn't really political in any major sense.

Selling services to terrorists/neo-nazis/etc is something different.

Yes, you can make grey examples that are unclear, but in practise i dont think its usually that ambigius of an issue most of the time.
That's the weird think about propaganda. Even if you know it's propaganda, it works pretty well when it's heavily pushed. I come from a former communist country, and most people despised the communist party and risked their lives in a revolution. After the revolution, they began to parrot the same talking points the heard in the decades before. Even with all the information we have today, the talking points induced by communist propaganda remain alive.
Opinionated products are killer products when lots of people realize they share your opinion.

Apple banks on that. They are commonly derided by technical people for what their products don't do, but for a lot of users, they're happy with what the product does. Making it more capable would often make it harder for them to use.

Even making it configurable doesn't make it better. Even if the options are hidden, just having it there makes users nervous. They think, "Well, I could maybe make my device better, but that involves going into the no-no hell menu of billions of options". They're literally happier to just do it the opinionated way.

The trick, of course, is to actually have an opinion that a lot of people share. Often, that opinion doesn't exist. Even if it exists, you need to find it among the thousands of voices trying to tell you that they need some variant of it. It seems to require a fair bit of luck, though chance favors the prepared mind.
This is a customer service rep who obviously doesn’t understand the issue at hand and this thread is jumping to comically massive conclusions.
I read about a similar example this week. Some news orgs filed FOIA requests for Dr. Anthony Fauci's email and I was surprised at how many regular people just emailed him and got a response.

Apparently the guy answers about 1000 emails per day.
> Imagine if Google is caught in the act of pulling some shady shit like that. The law suits, loss of trust and prestige.

Easily brushed away, quickly forgotten.

> The personal exposure to the individuals involved.

Virtually nonexistent.

To pick an example, Google colluded with other tech companies to limit the salaries of its engineers, yet here you are claiming it couldn’t possibly happen.

Do a search for “corporate malfeasance” and see the truly monstrous acts committed by companies that continue to do business quite successfully.
Installing prerequisites is very obviously one of the worst bits of doing any software development. We've spent decades re-inventing various packaging and containerizing tools to try and make it easier because everyone hates it so much.

It also has almost nothing to do with the actual business of writing a program.
In what concerns UNIX shell, Python always wins for me, other than very basic scripts to automate launching applications, or a pipeline.
Why would you, indeed? Peter Wessel Zapffe comes to mind: "To bear children into this world is like carrying wood to a burning house."
For at least the Nintendo Switch (not sure other modern conosles), the digital distribution infrastructure is built in terms of overlay packfiles. Games, updates, and DLC on disk are all single-file archives / filesystem images. The OS, when launching a game, mounts the game + its updates + its DLCs together as a transparent overlay filesystem. The game just sees a unified representation of its newest version, with whatever DLC has been installed, sitting under (IIIRC) /title.

I wouldn't be surprised if the other consoles also do things this way. It's a very sensible way to manage updates — especially when a game is running off of physical media but the updates are held in local storage. It also means there's no point where the update gets "merged in" to the base image, which means updates can be an atomic thing — either you have the whole update file downloaded + sig-checked (and thus it gets added to the overlay-list at boot) or you don't.

And, if all the consoles are doing it, I wouldn't be surprised if studios that do a lot of work on console don't just use that update strategy even on PC, for uniformity of QA, rather than for "obfuscation."

I know on a personal level the best thing you can ever do is avoid people like this.

LA, my hometown is full of people who simply don't want to do anything. They have a nasty tendency to introduce chaos, and not appreciate anything done for them.

One of my elder male relatives lived with his mother up until he was 50 and she died. He then immediately purchased a new truck , took out high interest quick cash loans against the home and lost everything within a few years.

You don't want idiots like this in your life. Once I moved to Chicago I had no trouble finding fantastic friends and an amazing partner with a great career( real life only, I've never meet anyone online with a job) . You become the people you surround yourself with.
Of course, there is still another “conspiracy theory” that was dismissed out of hand without any real investigation due to the immense ideological cost of even acknowledging it could be true. It’s still not even safe to suggest publicly, and, unlike the lab leak theory, it will almost certainly stay in the box given the catastrophic consequences if it were investigated properly and shockingly confirmed.
No, in point of fact most of those 18% are parents at home running Windows XP. The entire school runs on Windows 10, as the cursing from the server room will tell you on a regular basis.

And the school site has quite an active userbase - students upload assignments via it, parents can live-view all gradings and remarks (and regularly use it), and staff generally access their email via it instead of a client.
> we can pay

The problem is when “we” wants lower taxes or regulations to enable more consumption of tropical island vacations or recreational vehicles, or any other individual consumption item.

The political will is unfortunately not there. On this very forum, someone was claiming that a 1 adult to 4 infant ratio was too restrictive!
I think you missed the point. Scroll up, it's the same guy :)
I think it is very common for code to outlast its authors in academia for non-CS/EE fields, where programming is seen more as a means to an end rather than its own pursuit. For example, my wife in her Psych PhD inherited a giant hairball of Matlab code for interfacing with an eye tracker and scripting various experiments. She made her own modifications, and I helped too. The last we heard, the code is still being used. There are likely dozens of copies of it under various names, with sections commented out or added to the end.

I'm sorry to hear about you not getting credit, that's inexcusable, in the same way that not accrediting the researchers who did the work in a paper or book (I have heard this story too often) is inexcusable.
I'm sure places like that exist, but i think the internet overstates their prevelence. I've never worked anywhere like that.
Busy with their quarrels?

You mean directly funding China's transformation with an insatiable appetite for cheap shit?
That is a good description. Rather than building a corpus genetically (mutating a random input and adding it to the corpus of it gives new coverage), I wonder if we could use static analysis to generate a corpus in a single shot? I.e., statically identify the branches and pick inputs that cover each branch?
Sure thing, but I might not be able to comment on some things due to NDAs. Shoot me an email - dorazio at gmail
This is one of the reasons people using GPUs for Important Calculations (CAD) spend big bucks on Quadro cards rather than the ostensibly equivalent GeForce. Quadro cards have ECC memory and allow higher precision floats to be used for certain calculations.
The New American Movement (a precursor to the Democratic Socialists of America) published a poster in the 70s that read:

"If you’re unemployed it’s not because there isn’t any work

"Just look around: A housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.

"So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs. It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.

"This country was not built by the huge corporations or government bureaucracies. It was built by people who work. And, it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else’s profits, the work won’t get done."
I don't know about these specific programs, but a lot of college towns generally are appealing choices. There's some level of culture, dining, infrastructure, and other activities while often being fairly rural but not too isolated. I'm fine with where I live but I would absolutely consider various college towns and small cities if I were looking for somewhere to move to/retire to.
Right. We have to come to grips with the fact that not all people are cut out for college or to be white collar knowledge workers. Many of the jobs that these people used to enjoy have been shipped overseas, meanwhile large amounts of unskilled labor is allowed to pour in. This has destroyed opportunities to make your way in life as a blue collar worker. But instead of reversing sweetheart legislation that makes it easy to ship jobs overseas and bring in cheap labor at home, we talk about UBI and raising minimum wage. Both of which will have even more devastating impacts on the middle and low economic classes.
This new trend sounds great for companies as a way to purge extremists from their workforce. From my anecdotal experience the people trying to bring politics at work were not very effective.

It would be interesting to compare productivity before and after the exits.

This is Fauci (serving under Trump) saying in January 2020 that he didn't think it was a threat, or am I missing something?

Are you saying that a then Trump official, now Biden official was speaking out of partisanship?

> I remember the accusations of racism online quite vividly as I voiced my concerns in early February that people should start taking precautions: buying quarantine supplies, PPE, etc.

I stocked up on ~3-4 weeks worth of supplies too, and replenished bi-weekly since early february, as well as many of my friends, neither of whom politicised it.

I think you have it right. Don't over engineer it especially early on. If you need to scale/automate with containers later, do it then. For now, just get that damn thing up and running.

I built a Go web app side project which runs smoothly on a VPS with nginx as reverse proxy, letsencrypt SSL and dead simple supervisor config to run. Boom. Forget containers. Forget docker.
Why would any adult want to live in a loud college town filled with children? This is candidly why I decided to take a break from Boston. It's nice once and a while when you go out / do anything social to be able to meet people who actually have jobs, are your own relative age and aren't well... college students. I really enjoyed my time in boston as a college student, but we all know one weird friend in their mid to late twenties who still thinks it's "cool" to hang out with college kids - that's also really freaking weird.

However, I'm also VERY excited to return to a small office / co-working space.
I'm curious about "many people who are general experts in web standards have been shut out" - can you explain more?
The majority of the states in the US have one-party consent too, I believe.
> A set-theoretic approach to calculus has me intrigued.
Well calculus (and more generally, analysis) really does hinge on set theory. For example, points of accumulation for limits and hence differentiation, Riemann integration via the supremum and infimum etc are all set-theoretic ideas. Just generally encountered in a Real Analysis class and introductory calculus largely abstracts over the fundamental set concepts that underpin the mechanics.
Killer product is such an amorphous phrasing.

If the author meant best product, I agree.

If the author meant best selling, I'm not sure I agree.

MS Word needs to have all those configuration options for IT to check their boxes AND write the enterprise sized check.

If you are making a consumer app, this all seems like good advice. But I'm not sure it is good general advice.
I mean if you have backups then sure, don't pay. Every case won't be that simple. It also seems a bit odd that they'd pay if they truly had all the backups they needed.
I'll grant that the outrage against Sidewalk does seem to be worse, but there are at least some of us who dislike both. I have Find My turned off on my iPhone.
As a Texan (yes, we have state loyalty more so than country) I would suggest taking a low and slow approach to unifying Europe under one federal entity. It took a few contentious iterations before the United American States became the United States of America and then a bloody war to fix absolute power with the central/federal government over states rights. Even today political tensions threaten to re-map state boundaries or outright dissolve the union.
Yes text layout is fundamentally different in the sense that text layout is about placing lines of text inside a rectangle, where RectCut is about placing the rectangles and doesn’t help much with text. It would be possible to use RectCut for text flow, but you probably wouldn’t want to, it’s more designed for a small number of on-screen panels in an application.

Core LaTeX is concerned with the flow of text in printed articles, and Knuth published the text layout algorithm “Breaking Paragraphs into Lines” http://www.eprg.org/G53DOC/pdfs/knuth-plass-breaking.pdf

Originally, HTML did the same thing, it was used to emulate the written page and layout text into a box. But not everyone wanted their site to look like a printed article, so CSS and new layout modes sprouted over the years. Today there are seven of them: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Layout_mode

RectCut is fundamentally most similar in spirit to CSS flexbox, and fundamentally similar to a bunch of other box layout managers in other languages and UI toolkits, as you can see from the comments.
Just imagine the alternative... a combination of high development and birth rate is how you end up with an early 20th century.

This is likely taken out of context or a misunderstanding. Or are you implying that DSoftBus, KAS were somehow lifted from Android even though they are kernel agnostic?

The identity involves the five most fundamental constants and the four most fundamental operations - and nothing else. That is why a lot of people find it satisfying.

It'll never happen again, but I really loved the way QBasic was an entire self-contained IDE and environment in a box.

It really depends on the job, the boss and the social context.

As a quick example: the son of a restaurant owner can get informally hired as the waiter/bartender. He would get a fair share of the profits, possibly inherit the restaurant or its management, and will probably never be fired.
Can you define beauty then?
Isn't mulching counter-productive, then? I don't fertilise but also always bag for the same reason, to keep the grass lean in favour of the weeds.
It's a small world. Many, many years ago, I wrote a little help desk application for a one man ISP. The only requirement? "I have to be able to respond to support requests using WAP". This was, of course, before smart phones were a thing. Typing long replies on a phone with only a numpad was not pleasant. So I built something with a lot of prehashed replies and parts of replies, which could be accessed by entering a couple of digits (with some very rudimentary context awareness).

Fast forward 10 years or so, I'm consulting at a company. When I see one of their support engineers using a tool that looked vaguely familiar. Turns out the company had acquired the one-man ISP and had continued developing the little helpdesk application I'd made for WAP all those years ago.
Yes, I do this too (although you're probably running on a hypervisor unless its your own hardware, so not completely bare metal). This is one of Go's biggest advantages. Deployment is way simpler since you don't have to configure a bunch of dev ops technologies.
You can attribute that to being unprofessional. Which is not great, but not terrible.

What is absolutely terrible is for the media and big tech to ACT like they are the absolute authority in any field they have interest in. We're heading towards "ministry of truth" levels of censorship.
