No, of course not. They just read the tweets about the article.

You never read actual sources! That runs risk of accidently seeing something that contradicts your preconceptions of the facts. Then you'll be stuck having to rationalize away the cognitive dissonance.
It didn't make the cut? It certainly should have. I vacillate between Doggy-coin, and using a long O, something like DOE-gee-coin (as in "Get along, little doggies", which is sometimes sung with a long O). The use of Doje-coin always seemed silly. The mascot is a friggin dog, not a doje or a dozh, whatever those nonsense words mean. Stick with Doggy-coin, it make the most sense.
Some remarks:

I used Hyper-V as the hypervisor of choice

That is not how most end user installations are configured (aka, not as a virtual machine).

32GB fixed disk for each build.

That is much much less than the typical Windows 10 hardware.

the fast boot feature has been disabled for the purposes of this measurement.

That is not the default and not reflective of most installations.
The size and growth of AWS' customer base and financial success is a very strong counterargument to your claims. Is it possible you are confusing your personal preferences for the goals of the AWS business? AWS may seek to advance the state of the art, but this is not the end goal, per se, but rather one factor that may or may not achieve the end goal. The end goal is more customers and greater revenue and profit.

> someone described that the reason AWS works at all is the size of their firefighting team

Customers don't care all that much why AWS "works". They care that it "works". And, again, it "working" is not their end goal. Rather, AWS "working" is yet another means to an end.
Good question! When there is not a pandemic they can go to daycare and play with other kids.

When there is? Well, I am not proud or happy about this, but my kids have very detailed knowledge of and strong opinions about Minecraft.

BTW, home is not really a living nightmare, and kids are wonderful, but they do need human attention.
Seeing the rainbow flag in every corporate logo is such a vapid and empty gesture. Those entities don't give a fuck about queers, they just want to signal to a bunch of equally vapid people who would otherwise whine and stamp their feet. I'm sick of the whole thing.

"Rainbow capitalism."
As a Canadian, yeah that's a pretty awful thing to say. Canada is definitely racist -- and I'd go so far as to say that it's safe to assume that everywhere and everyone is racist to some extent.

Supporting the idea that you (individual, organization, country, whatever) are not racist makes it convenient to ignore efforts to combat racism ("why should we combat racism when there isn't any") which should be universally supported.

So yeah she was being a dick. As a representative of Mount Allison, they decided her behaviour was problematic, which they are in the right to do. Just because you're a powerful person with a fancy title doesn't make you immune from consequences of shitty behaviour.
I never groped anyone.
There's the "old fart" tool internally that tells you how many people were hired after you. I think after 9 months or so, I was senior to 30% of the corporate jobs. After 12, I was senior to 50%.
False. Twitter has become a sporting arena for the game of virtue signaling. That's the purpose of Twitter now, doesn't matter who is right or what Twitter itself knows about who drives these cycles.

Remember that this is how the Mao cultural revolution began, silence is violence. If you're not virtue signaling hard enough the spiral collapses in on you and you yourself will be destroyed. It wasn't just some top-down systemic action that did so much damage, it took everyone working together to cause so much death and destruction. We saw this happen in Stalins regime too, everyone has to prove their loyalty to the party/ideal or risk being canceled. Eventually no one left standing is pure enough.

From Bidens commencement ceremony by Amanda Goreman, first paragraph:
“When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast. We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace.”

Quiet isn't always peace. Let that sink in. America's cultural revolution has already begun. Cancel culture is going to burn this country to the ground, those who don't speak truth to it let the mob win. But those who stand against this will be also be burned at the stake just like those who stood against the cultural revolutions in China and Russia.
Magit's wip-mode seems similar in some respects:
https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Wip-Modes.html

I haven't tried it, but have been meaning to look into it. Would be curious to hear experiences of anyone who's tried it, and how it compares to the OP.
Actually in most of the world this is not so bad at all. It's insufficient in the US or many third world countries, but if I were to fall ill in, say, Africa or South East Asia (+China) it would be pretty good.
Both of us made claims, neither have evidence.
> Trying to pretend we can erase any and all suffering we may cause ever is a fruitless effort.

I wouldn't be so sure. Eduard Hartmann came up with a solution in the 19th century.

Every single internet apology I've seen has been met with "this is such a bad apology / isn't a real apology." I'd love to see an example of an internet apology where people don't criticize the apology itself (if one exists).
It's a soft thing. "I can't, I have to be in the office" gave you an out. I spoke with a coworker who is expected to still make dinner every night because she is home during every day. There are other situations where you don't want some flexibility because it's not an option you want to openly turn down. It's complicated, buh coming into an office gave an equal slate with everyone else there. It gave boundaries for those with trouble establishing their own.
What is Mr. Musk doing with his DOGE after pumping it?
Who needs those sports balls on the television, right?
Requiring vaccination from people who’ve had the disease is not just batshit crazy, it’s plain evil.
This is a struggle for me too.

Here's a hint. In 49 states of the US most people feel the people around them are indifferent to the software revolution. The "exception" is half of New York state and half of California.

In the 1980s people who "got" microcomputers left where they were in despair and moved to Silicon Valley so they didn't feel alone.
Yeah, sorry, it was designed to be deep but not broad, and of course it's unfinished. It's a bit of a shame.

The reading list is the starting point https://github.com/chrisseaton/rhizome#how-to-read-this-repo..., as is the code in lib of course. You can also run the experiments to generate programs before and after passes.

Someone who knows about basic things like bytecode might like to start reading at https://github.com/chrisseaton/rhizome/blob/main/doc/constru... and may find that then starts to be new information.
I was. But it wasn't quite as pointless as it sounds - the tool was a sort of tripwire-like system, with changes shipped to an append-only log, that itself was checkpointed in an early blockchain-ish structure. The threat model was "nation state actor" so the client wouldn't accept SHA1.

It was actually a pretty cool system. I don't think it was ever sold though.
> Maybe the old trick of cranking up the Mhz and call it a day doesn't work the way it used to, but in terms of performance results we are getting improvements.

Except... we aren't. Intel's CPUs haven't gotten significantly better in 4+ generations. AMD's have, but that's only because they were still catching up to Intel.
Top of market quality is obviously not IKEAs goal. There is no one in IKEA corporate who would argue differently.

IKEA makes cheap, good enough furniture. Similar to Amazon's approach. You can't argue that either is not hitting a certain high quality bar when neither are striving for it.

What cloud provider is better than AWS?
According to her, she was recruited by Jeff at a conference specifically to work on improving Google's machine learning equity. As part of hiring somebody, I don't just meet them at a conference and read their papers. I interact with their prior employment network and read their social media. I think if Jeff had paid any attention to her tweets before she was hired, he would have thought twice about bringing her on.
tl;dr in 2 quotes from the decision. Wild shit that the NCAA got this far

> The NCAA does not contest that its re-straints affect interstate trade and commerce and are thus subject to the Sherman Act.

> With this much agreed it is unclear exactly what the NCAA seeks. To the extent it means to propose a sort of judicially ordained immunity from the terms of the Sherman Act for its restraints of trade—that we should overlook its restrictions because they happen to fall at the intersection of higher education, sports, and money—we cannot agree.
“When the Nazis arrested the Communists,
I said nothing; after all, I was not a Communist.
When they locked up the Social Democrats,
I said nothing; after all, I was not a Social Democrat.
When they arrested the trade unionists,
I said nothing; after all, I was not a trade unionist.
When they arrested me, there was no longer anyone who could protest.” https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Martin_Niemöller
I mean, "angry mobs" have always existed as you said yourself. They didn't seep into "adult spaces", they've always been there. We don't need to blame Twitter, the Internet as a whole, anonymous communication platforms or anything else for human nature.

The fight against cancel culture is a fight against people doing things. It's literally that. "Cancelling" is just a framing device for a myriad of behaviors and reasoning behind those behaviors. If this post gets downvotes, "cancel culture". If OP's post gets a bunch of negative comments, "cancel culture".

TL;dr- There's never been an egalitarian, logic-only meritocracy, in human history, and people getting upset that there isn't one is as reasonable a choice as other people deciding to "cancel" someone.
As a current Amazon employee I have to say that is pretty ludicrous. If you actually think Amazon could scale back to 10% of it's current employees without losing massive forward momentum and capacity to deliver results then I don't know what to say. All those metrics would suffer greatly in both the short and long term.

In order to scale back that far without suffering negative results you'd have to assume that those 90% of people aren't doing much day to day, so their loss would not be felt, and that is frankly not true and kind of insulting to the hard work that Amazon employees do.
The solution to this is to make the war these companies are waging on personal computing illegal, but it might be too late for that.
Unless your bootleg chips are very good, the buyer will distinguish and your reputation will plummet. If you are forthcoming and sell chips that actually work you can make a lot of profit.
Notes on Subversion
Not really the point I am trying to make: if you love History, getting the PhD might be worth it. Money isn't everything.
Kavanaugh's concurrence is 100% an invitation for a broader restraint-of-trade suit, and honestly, it is long overdue. The NCAA is dead, they've got to settle, but there isn't going to be any real interest in half measures.

As someone who detests the Plantation League, this is long, long, long overdue.
I wouldn’t respond to people cold emailing either.

However, the difference between this and the warranty scam is that the complaint they are attaching is 100% real.

It’s more like a mechanic emailing you saying, hey I notice your car was broken down on the side of the road.
> you were baselessly calling me stupid??

No, I was saying your thinking on the matter was flawed; "baselessly" is in the eyes of the beholder, but even if I am wrong I think I had a pretty good basis for saying so. As I said in my original comment, I feel you were presenting a false narrative.

> Even though I posted numerous references while your ideas were unsourced false fear mongering information?

Maybe you posted references elsewhere, but the comment I was responding to (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27518146) did not contain any references.

As I felt I was responding to a Gish Gallop, I didn't provide any references either, though I made references to facts that are easily verifiable from a number of sources. Is there something specific I said that you cannot verify?

Now you are claiming the information I provided in my response was false, but you haven't made any specific claims about a statement I made that was false. The closest you came to such a statement would be be your reiteration about the disease's survival rate (and if you're looking for a citation on how disease survival rate is computed: https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-term...).

In general, "unsourced false fear mongering information" feels like a case of projection. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you saying we should be fearful of the vaccines by making unsourced statements that at the most charitable could be described as misleading?

> You should be banned from this site forever for posting Facebook science and attacking people.

Again, this feels like projection, but I'm not sure what "Facebook science" is. Can you define it and provide an example of something I've posted that is "Facebook science"?

Again, I made a comment I shouldn't have, and I understand you read it as a personal attack. It was a derogatory statement (which again, I should not have done), but it was derogatory towards the comments you made, and not you personally. If anything, I was assuming you to be a reasonable and good person who had fallen prey to faulty reasoning and misinformation.
It wouldn’t bother me personally, but it’a a little crude and objectifying. Whether it’s funny or offensive depends on the audience. I think you got a clear signal that at least someone found it offensive, which means others probably did as well, so I’d recalibrate my behavior based on that feedback.

Also, keep in mind that context is important. That meme may come off very differently coming from a popular, well-established female professor who is passing along a student creation after class than dropped into a formal lecture, especially if they don’t know you well yet.
So if a family member starts believing they will give birth to puppies, you will instantly give that credibility? How does this follow when irrationality is clearly at an extreme?

And what if your father believes in UFOs and your mother doesn't? There's something more than just giving credence due to authority, especially in these extreme circumstances.
To clarify; 20 minute walk, or 5 minutes of waiting for a 10 minute train ride (we don't have reliable signaling in my city, so hard to get to the train JIT).
> LOL! No, the HDD never was reasonably fast. Our expectations changed.

If the anecdotes of this thread are to be believed, it's not that our expectations changed but that the software has changed.
I quite like the confirmation UX here.
It’s a bit hard to teach these concepts to somebody that has no practical knowledge of earning a paycheck, paying taxes, investing in a 401k, buying a car, etc. The ideas will seem far off and abstract. Kind of like how I could not appreciate my software engineering curriculum until years later after I worked on some horribly managed projects professionally.
The actually working avenue to correct these issues would be to sue them, or file a complaint with the data protection commissioner, or whatever the appropriate legal avenue is in the jurisdiction in which you reside.
I cannot imagine a colleague writing the following and not being fired, and effectively outcast from most employers in my industry, especially when it’s happening at industry events:

> I was terrible to women.

> I preyed on them. I ceaselessly hit on them. I pressured them into sex. I got too drunk and did all manner of dumb things. Yes, I was one of those shitty, creepy sexual predators you hear about.

I work in a fairly established industry, and that would be completely unacceptable. Even if it happened decades ago. I’ve seen people be fired for much less inappropriate behavior.

In the article, Noah writes:

> I had changed my behavior long before my apology was written last year. I had figured out why I had done what I had, why it was unhealthy, and how to change.

I’d love to read more about that process. His past behaviors and the similar behaviors of many other men - drunkenly pressuring women into sex - negatively affect far more people than cancelling does.

There has to be room among the woke for the awakening or we never make progress.

I think this is the essence of any legitimate criticism of cancel culture. The lack of nuance and the lack of room.

Do I ever want to see Bill Cosby or OJ Simpson in a new role? No. Some levels of horrible are unforgivable. Cancel away.

Woody Allen. Same.

Louis C.K.? Maybe? Unlikely. Certainly not until he makes some kind of real effort/apology/reparations.

Noah Bradley? Assuming this article is accurate and sincere? There are a lot of Noah Bradley's in the world, do they deserve a second chance?

I wonder if this is why so many millenial professionals clamor for "socialism." (Also, whether they realize that the thing the U.S. needs to do to make democratic socialism happen is heavily tax millenials making $100k/year...)
IME windows takes more work to administrate than many Linux distros at this point.
Any channels you can recommend that have live system coding in C?
That is an argument for having a support system with a curve that is an always and anywhere differentiable, so that we don't get perverse cases like your niece (hope she is doing better now, btw).
> why not move?

Maybe you have kids, and don't want to take them away from their school.

Maybe you have kids with an ex, and you're legally not allowed to move more than N miles from your ex without their agreement.

Maybe you're heavily invested in your community with friends, family, church, sports, etc.

Maybe you can move, and get a job somewhere else, but for some reason your partner is much less likely to be able to.

It's not that moving is always impossible. Heck moving might truly be the better idea. But it can be extremely costly socially to move, and even then it isn't necessarily going to actually solve your problem.
>It's not fraudulent, just silly--it was built as a joke after all.

You know, I'm not sure its so crazy to disregard that part if you're a regulator. Wouldn't scams just use this as cover? "Oh it's a joke, but people are making real money off of it. wink wink. It's silly but it's going up and up!"
If you know how to play the game, this is a huge asset. Marc Andreessen said in a New Yorker interview that he ignored Twitter until he realized that the media were obssessed with it. Andreessen Horowitz the VC firm started relatively late compared to some others, but it shot to the top of mindshare because of the constant stream of coverage they gave Andreessen and his intentionally outrageous visions of the future.

Elon Musk does this as well, just without any pretense of subtlety.
Why do people still expect modern software to run at incredible speeds on hard disk drives?

Run old technology with old software. It is ridiculous that consumer hardware is still being sold with crappy 5400 RPM disks in 2021. No, I have no interest in optimising my software for speeds that are 1/10th of my broadband.

Unless we're talking archival or huge storage necessities, stop complaining about modern OS or games running slow on a technology that hasn't realistically been updated in 20 years.

Do you expect Windows 10 to run on a Pentium II with 512MB RAM as well, because some version of Linux does?
Sometimes it isn't all that simple.

My work laptop runs W10. At some point in the last 3 months or so, an update came in and fucked up Windows Explorer. About 5 times in a work day I need to use Task Manager to reboot Windows Explorer because the following things stop working:

- Cannot type into the start menu (the entire menu goes black. If I backspace anything I typed -despite not being able to see it- it will work again) - I can do this once, and then typing doesn't work at all.

- Taskbar will not hide behind full screen apps, clicking on icons will not bring the app to the forefront, I need to minimize all screens in front of it until I can find it

- Cannot view/change my wifi. The list just sits there blank, refreshing infinitely.

Likely unrelated, but at the same time, Windows randomly stops being able to reach by Default Gateway. I can disable/re-enable wifi and it works, but it tends to happen over and over until i reboot once it starts happening. Usually good for a couple days after a reboot.

Lastly, on shutdown, the computer will bluescreen if I have had my external SSD plugged in at any point.

I haven't tweaked anything Windows Related anywhere. The only excuse I can come up with is one of the dozens of apps I use for my job conflicts with Windows somewhere. There's no useful log info during/after the points of issue. There's nothing in the scans for `sfc`, nothing comes up in the system troubleshooters. At this point I'm looking at doing a full re-install of Windows, but I have so much stuff to move across that I'm mostly dreading it.

My personal computer runs fine though...
I've always wondered about this. I'd expect this to catch up with Amazon and not work out in the long term.

But their stock price keeps going up and they keep eating up new markets.
Wow. I didn't know about that. Turns out they were not really a federal police force, and could only operate on Federal Reserve Property until September 11th, 2001.
Why is that a Windows problem and not a Discord or Steam issue?
The irony is that taken out of context, this one sentiment sums up everything that is wrong with the internet and, more specifically, social media.

When removed from consequences to our actions, we’re free to say pretty much anything we want.

If everyone actually cared about the impact our words had on others, we wouldn’t have to resort to the using the same response that caused the problem in the first place.
An individual can fight "meme activism" by creating a practice that isn't it and spreading that practice.

But I agree you can't "fight" it by shaking your fist at it and you can't expect it to go away by some choice as long as the forces that put it in place are here.
