While this is true now, Collabora devs did a lot of reverse engineering with little documentation to get a functional driver, then ARM started to pay attention. For a long time, ARM neglected efforts to develop open source drivers.
I'm not a web developer (more like a hobbyist), so I never used tools like Webpack to run 'builds'. Someone recently explained this phenomenon to me when I asked about the nonsensical class names I was seeing on some websites.

I now understand that those machine-generated classes are designed to prevent styling conflicts on modern websites where multiple developers' work may appear on a single page. But with adblockers currently set up to detect cruft via class names, I'm thinking that the clock is ticking on how long these lists remain accurate.
Well I am conservative and don't believe that so maybe you should consider talking to more conservatives.
Eh, not really. Christmas may have been a product of Christianity (hijacking a pagan holiday...), but it has long since become just a western culture tradition with no particular religious significance for a lot of people. Most Christmas movies don't even mention Christ.
Yeah, dude, that’s what it means to have a defacto state religion: it becomes the default thing. A classic characteristic of state religions is that even those who do not believe will institutionally practise. So, for instance, even Buddhists in Jordan must not eat in public during Ramadan.

Considering everything I was told about America, I was surprised to see that it is a Christian nation (I expected it to not be because of nominal separation of church and state). Instead, many laws are based on Christianity, leaders invoke the Christian god for justification for actions, and the state has official holidays for Christian events.

Modeling America as a Christian nation led to a more accurate prediction of reality.

This has led to less surprise on my part than most to see that local governments were amenable to bending to Christianity a lot more than others. SF has recently made specific parking laws for churches that close the streets. No such policy exists for synagogues, in comparison. Some were surprised. But I wasn’t. I expect governments at all levels in America to act to privilege Christianity.

After all, in action, America is a Christian nation. In practice, it is indistinguishable from the UK which has a de-jure (and de-facto) state religion.
How to Set Up an Automated Email Bot That Personalizes Each Message Using AI
Everybody wants to automate lead generation as much as possible because it's hard work.

But to fully automate a sales prospecting campaign that's actually personalized to each prospect was impossible before the invention of artificial intelligence.

In this guide, you'll learn how to set up an automated email bot that personalizes every single message to your prospects with the help of AI.
Parchive 2 was, I believe, an implementation of Reed-Solomon at the application level; mostly used (when it was introduced) to counter loss from missing chunks on binary newsgroups. I think RAR might have picked up a similar feature around that time too?

I believe parchive version 1 was simple XOR parity.

It's a nice quote, but I don't find it accurate for all topics. Should I be trying to figure out how to make passionate arguments for the Q Conspiracy nuttiness? There are lots of antivaxx conspiracy theories that are pretty close to mainstream in parts of the US - should I be trying to figure out how to make a passionate argument for those?

For many of these conspiracy theories the 'understanding' part should probably be more along the lines of epistemic forensics - "What kind of misinformation got them to this point?"

Critics of FIRE really like to hone in on the "RE" part, but most people I know who are aspiring toward the goal are much more focused on the "FI" part.

It's not so much that you can retire to sitting on your ass at 35, but it's that you've made your millions and can quit the grinding corporate job and do something less stressful and/or more meaningful, and quite likely less lucrative, without taking a big lifestyle hit. It's about having the ability to build the lifestyle you want. Having that big bank account gives you options and freedom.

Few people I know working toward FIRE are aspiring toward doing nothing in "retirement".

> No really, that's it.

No, that's really not it. Cawthon contributed thousands of dollars to multiple Republican campaigns in 2020, including some noted hate magnets (e.g. Devin Nunes and Mitch McConnell). This naturally sparked discussion of boycotting his products, some of which was level-headed and some of which wasn't. As has happened countless times for many other vendors and issues across the political spectrum.
You could not have more completely proven his point.
I agree, and I think some comments are apt to note that we have as (grown, adult) people changed, and what we're seeking is really, on some level, a lost part our former selves (cc: In Search of Lost Time) —- at the same time, however, it _is_ pretty difficult to make these "garish" (as op puts it) spaces today. (Whether or not it's important that the internet is "garish" is a separate argument —- my short argument is I prefer, and would encourage, a greater ecodiversity in the internet landscape.)

Anyway -- I think, despite HTML + CSS + VPS services still existing, the alternatives —- the Well-Styled & Gridded Squarespace sorts, and the plug-n-play platforms like Twitter/Facebook —- are so easy to use that we've come to have disproportionately more cleaned up, mall-like spaces than not. I think.

About a month ago, I did a Show HN for https://mmm.page (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27128424) that was my (small) attempt at creating a platform/tool to help people more easily create these spaces. It's still in alpha, but the Discord (link on homepage) is quickly growing with ppl who have this same frustration.

I have a feeling we'll see more and more counter-2010s-platforms platforms emerging over the next few years... platforms that try to correct our overcorrection toward cleanliness and order and optimization and profit, etc. etc.
> As someone who dabbles with Arduino

And you've just picked another extreme niche, like flashing Android ROMs.

Here's the problem with things like WebUSB that Google injects into Chrome: It's going out to over a billion users, including seniors, enterprise environments, and the technologically inept. And it introduces security risks. Why would anyone launch WebUSB out to, say, my grandma, just because maybe 100,000 people in the world might use features that require websites directly talk to a USB device?

Ironically, I could tell you how Google could fix this right now, but I'm confident they won't do it because it's not Googley enough: Leave it and a dozen similarly obscure web features permanently disabled by default behind an about:config flag. Google is obsessed with making things "just work", so they enable everything, even though something like WebUSB will only ever be used by people who are doing something sophisticated enough that flipping an about:config flag is in their wheelhouse.

As an IT admin, what's really frustrating is having to edit group policy every month to disable each and every new security hole and pop-up call-to-action feature browsers introduced that month. (Google is not alone in this, Firefox is guilty too to some extent, and Edge clones all of Google's bad ideas, of course.)

And for people at home, the thing is, non-technical users approve everything. They hit that accept button on every bloody prompt they get. And I know this because I spent a lot of time cleaning out the Privacy permissions tab on people's browsers when they have problems. "Why are three porn sites able to send desktop notifications on this browser?" Who the heck knows?

Just to make it easier for you to play with an Arduino, everyone else shouldn't have to play whack-a-mole with "features" silently injected into their browser via evergreen updates.
Immutability can be good for complex data structures that you'd like to have multiple versions of.

For instance in a chess program you might be traversing a tree and decide you want to go back a few moves and with persistent data structures the original data structure is still there and shares a lot of memory with the current board state.

Oddly though last time I wrote a chess program it used Markov Chain Monte Carlo and to do that you always run playouts forwards so there is no advantage to persistent data structures in the playouts even though it might be useful for keeping counts of how many times you won after playing out different moves.

In Java half-understanding of "immutability" can be dangerous. For instance, that persistent list is really immutable of the member objects are immutable. However, you can't write

final PersistentList myList;

if you ever want to add or remove to the list (you need to replace the reference with a new list.)

final List myList;

on the other hand cannot be replaced with a new list but you can add and remove items from it as much you like.

final ImmutableList myList;

won't let you add or remove anything or change the reference, but if the members are mutable nothing stops you from changing them.

Thus it is easy to get in trouble if you have been taught maxims like "final is good", "immutable is good", etc.
Are you integrated into an immigrant community? Are you part of a church that deals with immigration? Or an ethnic business community that is part of the immigration chain? Or is your community well integrated with those you seek to understand?

Homosexual behavior was branded disorderly conduct and liquor licenses were revoked as a consequence. So yes, it was effectively illegal if you didn’t bribe the cops. People were arrested because the police didn’t consider their genitals to match their clothes.

Drug deals and transactions for sex occurred at Stonewall just as they have occurred on Discord, but I’ve not seen any credible evidence that it was a primary function of the place.

It seems somewhat a habit of yours to find something bad about victims and then use that to dismiss any wrong done to them. Someone subjected to police abuse? Oh they had a criminal record, so it’s ok. Indigenous people being tortured, enslaved and slaughtered by Spain? Oh, it’s ok because some of them practiced human sacrifice. There’s no going the extra step and recognizing Spain was in the middle of the Inquisition and creating their own murderous horror, or that the Spanish allied with the Aztecs to eliminate groups that didn’t have human sacrifice, or that the Spanish cruelty was applied to the people in the Caribbean as sport from Columbus. It reads like intellectual laziness.
Renting Is Cheaper Than Buying, Almost Everywhere (NYT)
I know it’s anecdotal, but I’ve been contributing the max to my work 401(k) every year for 18 years and also bought a house 14 years ago. The house appreciation alone has dwarfed my 401(k) entire balance (contributions plus earnings). My downpayment of $X has turned into around $7X.

If I treated the extra housing costs (we upgraded significantly from around 1000 ft^2 to 2500 ft^2) as an additional 401(k) that I contributed to, the house still wins but it’s at least close in that case.

There have been so many similar articles over the last three months. And every time I see one, I'm reminded of how resistant to change the company (and industry) I'm in is.

The company I work for is starting to bring people back to the office department by department. People are resisting, and the company is telling them not to let the door hit them in their asses on the way out. Officially, it's because there is no "policy" for long-term work-from-home. But it's just stubbornness that comes from its habit of moving at the speed of a glacier.

I've heard that some departments have lost 20% of their people so far. I know for a fact that one department I work closely with has lost 40%. My observation is that the better the employee, the more likely he is to refuse to come back to the office.

If you don't like Google News, then you can go with the next best -- Apple News.

But then you can see the consequence. Apple News has less crazy but sometimes misses entire stories. Google catches what Apple misses. For the purposes of understanding the news landscape, it is more important to know that a conversation exists and to estimate its trajectory, than it is to get correct takes.

Christmas and church settings don't indicate Christianity. Most secular Americans celebrate Christmas or attend weddings and funerals in Christian churches or officiated by Christian clergy. Indeed, for a very long time it was the norm to have one's own funeral or wedding at a church, officiated by Christian clergy, even if one was atheist or agnostic and even today it's quite common.
For most companies, "rebellious workers" are a problem easily solved with issuance of pink slips.

Does crypto do that? I highly doubt that. Real-world economies based on crypto are none existent, or so small they are insignificant. I feel like what you are saying is a huge simplification and may not be true at all.
> it has long since become just a western culture tradition with no particular religious significance for a lot of people

I think that people have a tendency to underestimate the degree of Christian influence on their way of life, and the vast majority of people who practice xmas are Christian, even if they are not weekly church attendees.

I was raised in an atheist household, we definitely viewed Christmas as a religious thing. Most of the songs are very religious, people go to mass, etc.
Except for the fact that people refuse to bury it.

I'm sorry, but I find articles like this entirely disingenuous. It opens with a rural Tennessee classroom in which the teacher and a lone student bravely try to help a bunch of Trumpers understand their perspective. It continues with another example of a right-leaning former WV legislator coming around to the leftist position on transgender participation in sports. But what I did not find was a single meaningful example of the opposite. The best the article could muster - for appearances of neutrality - was an example of reduced support for minimum-wage increases by a group of Democrats. Nothing concrete.

Sorry, but the lady doth protest too much.
The US system is, perhaps, unusual in that it started from a set of independent states that formed a federal government. While the balance of power has shifted century-upon-century towards federal centralization, the power of the federal government to enforce federal law is still constrained by the money spent on federal-level enforcement; states are not generally legally obligated to go out of their way to assist federal law enforcement (and proving obstruction of justice in an inter-jurisdictional situation is pretty difficult most of the time if the states just use "malicious compliance" and stick to the letter of the law).

Hence, "sanctuary cities" where the state and local government just doesn't feel obligated to hand over records and resources they aren't legally compelled to. It's basically daring the federal government that if the law is so important, they can spend the money on ICE / FBI / ATF / etc. resources to enforce it (because those resources are paid from a completely different pool than the state or town police).

But we know nothing about the person who said they will switch DE’s. We don’t know if spending time collaborating with Mint developers is a reasonable suggestion for them. I just want folks to realize that while recruitment is important, not every single Linux user should be expected to code for Linux. For example I’m a heavy Linux user but I’ve got my hands full maintaining my own open source robotics projects. I do not have time to take on something like this. I hope we can be understanding when people don’t have time for this kind of thing.
> We are very specific about collecting consent before doing anything with your data.

How do you foresee that consent working if your product is used in account recovery flows?

For example, imagine if Steam adopted Stripe Identity as their only way to allow people with $$$$ worth of games to recover hacked accounts. If the user's only choice is to "consent" or lose their valuable account, that makes the "consent" something of a joke.

I'd be interested to hear how you plan to square that circle!

> we’re all terrified of having a gap in our resume

I took a 1 year break and have had to answer a simple recruiter/interview inquiry regarding it for the next 5 years. I don't think it ever eliminated me from consideration but it was more like a necessary precaution. Not so great answers would include:

* Anything beginning with "uh uh uh". Answer confidently.

* "I was searching for work the whole time and just couldn't pass interviews"

* criminal activity

* anything indicating a bad work ethic or difficult employee

* apathy, indifference, numb, lazy. Even if you felt that way the whole time, LIE. You took a year off, you want to look like you had an undying passion for something every day even a hobby.

The modern American form is a consumerist orgy owing more to Macy’s, Coca-Cola, and greeting card industry than Christianity, that has less in common with the Christian holiday some of whose elements it adapted than the Christian holiday has to do with Saturnalia.

If by practicing, you mean "going to church weekly" then sure, but that is not the necessary condition for christmas to be a religious thing.

It is extremely common in religions to have a large majority of people only doing the most visible festivals, not the daily/weekly things, that doesn't mean that the festivals are no longer religious.
