1. You do not have the right to tell me how to refer to my racial identity. I would normally say, "white Americans", but that doesn't make sense in the context of discussing a conspiracy theory that implicates white-skinned individuals globally. "White-skinned individuals" is a mouthful. You read into "whites" what you wanted to. I don't use "white people" anymore, due to the association with "wypipo", a new racial slur the supposedly "antiracist" crowd has come up with.

2. I'm glad we agree it's a conspiracy theory.

3. Yes, yes. "Internalized white supremacy" and other related BS. Yawn.

4. "Diversity is our strength" is a hypothesis that I've seen very little supporting evidence for. The Chinese would agree. It's painfully obvious that ethnically homogenous societies have an easier go of things. That will never happen in the US, and we should not wish for it to. But we should be clear eyed about it, and not pretend it's some sort of competitive advantage.

5. You taught me a new acronym today, thanks. You're way off the mark, though. Reasonable people see the parallels between what the old anti-semites believed, and what the new ones do.

They also see the difference between the likes of Ibram Kendi and MLK. But please, keep pushing this line that contemporary "antiracism" is philosophically equivalent with the Civil Rights era movement. It's obviously bullshit to anyone who isn't already an acolyte, which suits my purposes just fine.
I am in charge of every single thing from devops to data modelling to backend web services to frontend apps to design and testing to responding to inquiries from users of a dozen web services. Does that boggle your mind too? That is the reality of my job. I don't have the time to be an expert in every single area when I am the one who has to do everything.

I'm sure you're great at setting up servers. That is probably the part of my job I dislike the most, but it's something I have to do, so I do it.
It's illegal right now but I can still get you some by tomorrow. I'm not exactly much of a drug user either.

It being illegal doesn't stop the majority of people who want it from getting it. It just makes it riskier. You don't know how strong any particular batch is going to be, you don't know if it's got anything on it that it shouldn't, and you don't feel safe going to the hospital if something goes wrong.

Add in the growing evidence of the efficacy of mushrooms for psychiatric use in controlled settings and not only are we talking about increased risk by keeping it illegal, we also can't do the research to see if and at what dosage it is potentially a lifesaving medication.
Could you expand on the hypothetical? What would you program?

In particular (asking anyone, not just you) what would satisfy the same "needs" as these coding strategy games? Programming here is not an end in itself, but a means to encode your tactics and strategy, that you can then observe facing the "real world".

I think the reason is a lot similar: any time we strip the oxygen from C20 that's carbon capture, and we aught to rebury the stuff.

These biofuels only look good when one forgets we need to put a lot of carbon back into the ground, and the latter is already one of the most expensive parts of the transition.

biofuels for air transport make sense, simply because there might be no alternative, and in conjunction with basically limiting air travel to trans-oceanic routes. But it absolutely doesn't make sense for electricity generation.
AIM gave me an unrealistic expectation of how easy it would be to chat with people with minimal interference (multi-chat XMPP clients like Adium/Pidgin that could handle AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and the earlier FB messenger and gchat, all at once with one UI were fantastic) and how easy it would be to send files to people (AIM had unlimited size file transfers, you could just send people files with zero hassle).
I am quite surprised we have not seen drones as instruments of terror yet.

Good thing about nix package manager is that you can have same path using it on macOS and on Linux, so your shell config files are easier to maintain without if's.

Linuxbrew installing at /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/ is a bit of a joke too.
"Modern, clean, new".

Is this self-mockery? It's hard to tell. But those adjectives often crop up with low budget knock-off* products whose makers don't have substantive things to say.

wrong again... It's very clear "*A* realm". Not "The realm". Certainly not "The only realm".

Simplest possible case in the wild for you, since you're being obtuse.

I'm company "A". I just bought company "B". Now fucking what?
This type of practice is what makes me not even consider FAANG jobs. I've (tactfully) told their recruiters I'm not interested; you'd have to pay me 500k minimum to even consider having to live on the west coast, dealing with their terrible work life balance, and having to worry about firing on top of everything else. Per this article, you could unknowingly have an expiration date on your employment. From personal contacts at Facebook, they specifically want you to get "needs improvement" on performance reviews to show that you're really pushing yourself; if you're doing well, you're not being pushed hard enough. I'm definitely not masochistic or interested in money/tech enough to work at a place like that.
I mean now Etsy is interested I'm sure it won't take long to become another wasteland of shit-tier mass produced products from Chinese sellers.
The real deal is certainly unbeatable, but even then you could have the best concert grand installed in your house and it would still not sound nearly as good as the one sitting in the middle of a massive concert hall expressly designed for this purpose.

I would have to wonder if a high quality recording of a piano in a proper setting would be more compelling to certain listeners than a live performance in a less ideal location.

I have an upright piano at home that I play on occasion, but I much prefer how the full-size concert grands sound in the big concert halls. I certainly enjoy the act of reproducing music with my own hands more than listening to someone else do it, but from a purely acoustic standpoint there are tradeoffs.
Foreign states have the resources to build their own field tests.

But time will tell. In fact it already has. We just need to wait for the investigation to complete.

My own money would be on a terrorist organization. A bit less certain that it would be domestic, but domestic is still more probable than foreign in my mind. The past few years, and the past year in particular, has shown me that our domestic terrorists on the left and the right are bat$#!t crazy.

But as I said, we'll see.

Partisia | Aarhus, Denmark or REMOTE | https://www.partisiablockchain.com

Do you want to build the next generation internet platform?

Blockchains with smart contract support (like Ethereum) allow for arbitrary computations with guaranteed integrity. However, computations are public, which is often a major limitation. Partisia is making a blockchain where computations can also be confidential, even to the nodes that are running it. It is done with a blockchain based secure multiparty computation (MPC) orchestration platform. MPC is an extension of ZK proofs, giving the possibility to perform arbitrary privacy-preserving computations.

We need engineers to work on a new programming language for writing smart contracts which allows distinguishing public state from private state. Executing computations in MPC requires specialized optimization and reordering of the computation graph - which needs to be integrated into the execution environment of the language. Expertise in compilers, optimization, graph theory, distributed systems or cryptography is helpful.

Apply here: https://partisia.com/career/programming-language-expert-for-...

We are also looking for people to build the governance layer of the blockchain, i.e. the operating system for users of the platform. This work will be part software part cryptographic engineering. Understanding of game theory and finance is helpful.

I was about to refer to McKay's stuff. Too bad he's gone...
I thought gas didn't really work with quad/hexa/octorotors because gas motors can't cycle up and down as quickly and reliably as electric, and fine-tuned control of rotor speed is essential to how a quadrotor works

The objections here would be trivially resolved if the pricing page said "Deepnote Standard is and always will be free" instead of "Deepnote is and always will be free".
They're not limiting any student from talking about it, just it from being taught, because it's indoctrinating Marxist bullshit. No different than them trying to teach Creationism.
One-Way NDA
> "They're expected to lose, either voluntarily or through termination, a specific number of employees every year. If you don't, you're expected to make up for it the following year."

This sounds like a re-hash of Jack Welch's Vitality Curve [1] where you're expected to fire the bottom 10% every year.

This is a crazy practice and of course the consequence is that managers will find a way to meet the targets they are assigned, however nonsensical these targets might be, for fear of getting the chop themselves. From that perspective "hire to fire" is actually the only logical (if crazy) option to both keep your people and meet your target.

What makes one “tired” of a package format?
Quite incidentally, this is fixed with the addition of one character:

const at = (arr, i) => i >= 0 ? arr[i] : arr[arr.length + +i];
True, but it's much more precise than an analog pointing device sensitive to subtle movements, click timings, etc. Keyboard input can be trained and ingrained in muscle memory. Mouse movements always require focus to at least ensure you're clicking on the right UI element.
[Managers at Amazon are] expected to lose, either voluntarily or through termination, a specific number of employees every year. If you don't, you're expected to make up for it the following year. Managers are even evaluated using this metric, known as "unregretted attrition rate" (URA). Basically, it's the number of people you wouldn't be sad to see leave the company.

Amazon managers are hiring people they otherwise wouldn't, or shouldn't, just so they can later fire them to hit their goal. That completely defeats the point since--if the metric is based on sound business principles--there are people keeping their job who shouldn't, at the expense of the sacrificial lamb.
I suppose I mis-spoke. Could easily be a domestic ally of a foreign adversary.
Ask HN: Device for Holding a Book in Bed?
Anyone have a good solution for holding a book up while lying in bed? My problem is resting on the bedding makes it hard to turn the pages and/or obscures the bottom of the page. Bonus points if it works with kindle as well. Forgive me of this is not relevant enough, and I thought HN might have relevant and useful opinions in this they could share with others like me. Thanks

Are we really sure they are not working on a next-generation plane behind the scenes? I doubt they would just sit there and do nothing after the MAX fiasco.
You're right, sorry, that does work! I definitely thought it didn't...

This seems worth raising with browsers as a bug, since this should be easily detectable as an attempt to work around cross-site tracking restrictions?

That is true, but it's safe to say that the number of people who do understand matrices is far greater than the number of people who understand quaternions. It's also worth pointing out that game engines and graphics APIs all deal in matrices, but don't all deal in quaternions. Mats can do what quats can do, but it's not true the other way around, quats cannot do everything matrices can do. Quats don't help with perspective, non-uniform scaling, or shear, just to name a few.
> microos (a transactional update rolling spin)

While it was intended for servers, if you set it up right it can be an openSuSE equivalent of Fedora Silverblue, even better if you prefer Plasma as I do. It takes a little work to get to an exact equivalent (IIRC toolbox had to be installed and some extra set up after install).

Also to note, if you don't want a rolling version, Leap does offer a transactional server option in the installer.
It's a whole lot easier to slap QR codes on things than getting NFC tags and applying them.
Amazing thanks. I'm going to start taking a look at getting a simple configuration started with my basic setup, keys, shell, tmux config etc.
a single comparison really does nothing, here's japan vs sweden that shows the exact opposite - neither of these comparisons are useful for anything other than a datapoint that should be used to study the larger issue alongside all the other data we have

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-stringency-index?ta...

deaths per million:
japan: 103.81
sweden: 1,404.99

again, even though my single datapoint is a much stronger contrast - these single datapoints are not useful as evidence for/against lockdowns
Ha dot matrix was fun. Then the evolution of multi-pass and very dense pinheads. Then color before we moved on to other tech.

Remember how big the parallel port and how thick the cable?

All those pins. And they eventually found a way to transfer data at a whopping 500kbps over parallel vs 128kbps for rs-232. How far we've come. Seriously!
The Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma exposed the algorithms are designed to create "engagement" or clicks, that may look different for different people. If you happen to begin clicking links that make you angry you will have a feed that skews towards the kinds of posts that infuriate you (this is typical - rage really sucks most of us in). If you select links with puppies all day long, that is what you are going to get, puppies. I have personally seen this in my YouTube feed. If I select two or three videos on a particular topic all of the sudden my feed is filled with those videos. Personally it is really aggravating. I may want to watch one or two videos about JRR Tolkien, but I don't want to see a bunch of fan theory LOTR videos.
I made no statements about licensing. It was all about updates and developer velocity. Lots of folks wanted to get patches into GCC and the GCC devs at the time were camping on the submission queue. The EGCS fork was a way around that, but a balkanized compiler is kinda like a poison pill, as soon as someone uses a feature in one and not the other, it bifurcates a codebase.

Think of what would have happened if some distros took alternate tooling paths? What about popular tools? We have to have both toolchains on our systems.

It is clear from how things turned out that EGCS wasn't about ownership or splitting the ecosystem. If one were to do this now, you would constantly rebase against upstream while you sort out the politics.

Clang/LLVM was both about implementation architecture and licensing, but had GCC been more modular, it might not have existed as well.
The tacit support for right wing extremists is also entirely a red herring.

If I look at the policy history of Republican vs Democrat governments dating back to Nixon, I see a lot more to dislike in the former than the latter, and I don't see a whole lot of change over time.

The Democrats are having their very limp version of a Tea Party moment right now. Unlike the Republicans they fought it instead of embraced it. But that's not because they're dumber, it's because the extreme conservatism of the Tea Party was politically convenient for both parties, while leftism is politically inconvenient for both parties.

It's all shit, but at least I support the shit that might eventually help people one day, and not the shit that actively promotes "for me but not for thee"-ism.
How to Efficiently Optimize Electric Motor Design
Long time Arch user here but I'm growing more interested in NixOS by the day. I'm mainly “utilitarian” in my OS choice and other things being equal, Arch's AUR packages is what keeps me using it.

How does the Nix ecosystem compare with AUR? Would you still recommend making the switch?
Great job on Howsyourblank, You won't believe I had the same idea for diet, yet never implemented it. I am using it now, thanks!
"Lady's in trouble with the law" is a classic track. I love this guy.
Espresso machines are good at extracting the oils along with the coffee. The crema is basically the froth as a result of this.
There are some beans (e.g., Yemeni ones) that have very high oil content and you can get a similar taste with simple brewing.
Freshly popcorn popper-roasted beans are better than non-freshly roasted beans but not nearly as good as those of an experienced roaster using better equipment. Try local roasters or order fresh-roasted beans online. Fresh-roasted beans tend to improve in taste over several days and then rapidly decline after around ten days.
Did you solder it yourself? That must have taken many weeks!?
Well that puts a new and disheartening spin on having gotten an offer from Amazon :-(
They're completely different brewing methods. Pour over is "slow," gravity based, and uses a medium to course grind (depending on brewing method), while espresso is "fast," uses a pump to pressurize the flow of water through the puck, and uses finer grinds. The closest manual brew method to espresso that I'm aware of is a Mocha Pot. There is also the AeroPress, which is kind of a hybrid brew style.
You'd hope that the people being hired to be later fired are at least given a chance to prove themselves. There's a world of difference between "We're not sure about this person, so let's hire them and we can always fire them if they're bad" vs "This person is definitely terrible at their job (or obnoxious) and I'm only hiring them so I don't feel bad about definitely firing them later".

The first one is actually commendable - the interview process isn't completely effective and sometimes either lack of experience or confidence can exclude otherwise capable people who might excel.

> It's about how much of a pain it is to get things working when things aren't nice and you don't know what to do.

Thank you for highlighting this. I love elegance, safety, reproducibility, declarative specifications, etc. But the minute I get the sense of "this philosophy is getting in the way. I am stuck, even though I know exactly what to do below this layer of abstraction", I get very annoyed.

That's why I asked about "escape hatches" in a sibling comment.
I don't think it explicitly said it in the article, but I'm pretty sure the hiring-to-fire is happening in warehouses, not dev offices.
AeroPress[0] is somewhere in the middle.

I'm a heavy believer in more rights when you buy a digital asset, but I don't think it's reasonable that buying something in one medium should give you automatic freebies in another medium. That other medium still needs to be produced, at a cost to the publisher. Does buying the book give you the rights to the audiobook as well?

That said, there should certainly be no restrictions to creating your own versions of things you own in other media.
I suspect that most of us here are unwilling to countenance murder; that's why not.
Maybe figure out why none of the cloud providers provide Nix as their install OS image.

If that happens, users will easily double and maybe more hands might fix the docs or perhaps it's a chicken egg problem but if it's the doc, it's easily solvable.
> slowly poisoning our biosphere

Relative to what! Coal power plans spew out more radiation. You could screw over just one km^3 of earth putting all our waste there for hundreds of years. Localizing the damage like that is almost incomparably better.
Okay. That is indeed more than just a free trial. I read the pricing and thought it was three projects, one of which is active, and seven days of revision history. (I also see you offer free team plans for academic use.)

That's my thinking. As I said in another comment, I really hate the taste of wine, so I wasn't drinking it for taste enjoyment.

It doesn‘t need a clear vantage point with straight-line access to the target.
Unfortunately that's not necessarily the case. People run full on dropshipping businesses on Depop under the guise of handmade/second hand clothing. There is also widespread "thrift hauls" on Depop where 20 something rich people ransack thrift stores which are staples in low-income communities and sell on Depop for 10x. Depop doesn't do anything to counter the hypercapitalist and wasteful fashion industry - its just another component to it.

I'm not sure what the point of this question is. I am willing to engage in good faith conversations but many people aren't. Oftentimes I'm immediately labeled a propagandist/bot, or just downvoted without replies, without any consideration for what I actually said or the sources I provided or my long history. Most people seem to have already made up their minds to attack people that have opinions that differ from their own.
Possibly they could outdo someone already on the team who would be fired instead. But the metric demands blood.
It’s already common for nations to do so. For individuals missiles, bullets, or bombs etc are generally more efficient as very long range drones are still expensive and cheaper options exist at short ranges.
It's the natural outcome of stack-ranking systems. If managers know that the bottom 10% of their direct reports are going to be shown the door, protect the whole team by hiring people just to rank them in the bottom. If a manager oversees 200 people, is more likely ~20 of them will be bad hires and can be let go, but if a manager only has five direct reports, losing just one, even if that one isn't all the great, means losing 20% of the team.

On that note, I wonder how these forces might work to fix ideal team size to align with these flawed incentives.
