It wasn't directed personally. The tendency is for front-end developers (the bulk of developers numerically) to treat software development like RMS does with emacs: everything extends from their perspective without consideration of perspectives or paradigms beyond their own. Embedded, native, real-time/mission-critical/fault-tolerance, resource-constrained, widely-compatible, ASIC/FPGA, and/or production-/shipping-scalable.

Cross-platform development will never be improved by N-times duplicated effort of abstraction layers on-top. The best that could happen is for OS developers to agree on common interfaces like UNIX/The Open Group for low-level operations, but for high-level media, UI, and common native development APIs more integrated than a patchwork of libraries like Qt, LibUV, etc.

I've worked on nuclear reactor simulators in F95, embedded industrial GPS equipment, deadline-oriented ad server meta-mediation, Fortune 500 client-facing consulting, compilers, functional programming projects, and now earn a paycheck doing SRE/PE since it's easy money to fund side-hustles.
Well you can’t claim he is not a journalist and also accuse him of journalistic malpractice. It’s one or the other.
It shouldn't, as Microsoft made sure that the major distros (Ubuntu, RHEL, Fedora, CentOS, maybe Debian?) have access to a signing key that is trusted by the major OEMs. And you can trust your own keys, per the Microsoft guidelines that require that x86 machines allow their secure boot to be disabled.

Definitely true to some extent. I think the degree to which it applies corresponds to how deeply a person engages with an individual post/thread. Having long conversations in the comments of a post is probably not conductive to shortening attention spans. Ideally we could mimic the sorts of deep conversations that can be had with small groups of people/friends in-person. Maybe Hacker News would benefit from live updating comment threads so that people wouldn't have to refresh the page frequently to have a back-and-forth conversation.
> Second, if this were true, the number of innovations would have decreased after we became globally connected.

It is not only about "innovation" but about cultural diversity. For good or bad, a globalized world is standardizing culture around the world. Hollywood was a very powerful starting point as allowed everyone to see what the USA produces.

> innovations spread very quickly

That is the point. There are less and less pockets of different approaches. In one side of the world someone invents a new app and people is using it in the other side of the world 3 days later. Innovation may be fast, but it is not diverse but there is a convergence of ideas and ways of thinking. If we get it right it is fantastic, if we get it wrong there are no alternatives.

A good example, hot topic, is cryptocurrencies. If it is something good they are everywhere, if it is a mistake then it is consuming an incredible amount of resources for no use. If you had pockets of innovation the impact would be smaller and it will take more time to copy it if it becomes successful.
As a progressive Muslim - I believe both Israel and Palestine have the right to exist, and thrive.

Unfortunately, it looks like the state of Israel has now become a needless oppressor and are content building an apartheid state without learning from the past.
Doesn't seem like the first camera is moving much, or does it and I don't notice?
Please prove that Israel is an Apartheid state, having Israeli Arabs serving in Parliament, as chief justices, chiefs of Police and more? I guess you Leftists can now pretty much just change the meaning of any word to mean whatever fits your narrative.
There isn't any justification for the 6th to 7th to 8th gen of intel core, at all. They're the same CPUs, just faster/more cores.
We have to make reasonable assumptions when making purchasing decisions. Just because something could happen does not make it a likely thing to happen and assuming that any company is equally likely to start serving advertisements on their devices is unreasonable and foolish.

While people may not have had the foresight to know that Google would be adding advertisements to their tv box, the behavior itself isn't unexpected given that Google is an advertising company. For Apple the behavior is both unexpected and disincentivized by the brand they've built for themselves.

I could die tomorrow but living my life under that impression would be foolish.
Xorg supports multi headed setups. I don't personally do that since there are only two people in my house but you should be able to set it up pretty easily.
That's an excellent point! It also provides a handy analytical framework. I'm going to try apply it to siding.

The cost differential between brick and vinyl siding can easily be a factor of five, and wood vs vinyl a factor of six (stone is more like 25). At this point you're trading 2400-2500 sqft of that 3000 sqft house to use "better" materials, assuming shapes that scale surface area directly with flooring size.

I expect this resulting cottage will be of wonderfully high-quality materials, but you may run into a few limits on how many people you can have comfortably living there compared to the original 3000 sqft building. I imagine you might want to be somewhere in between, at which point your choice of "better" materials may become an extravagance in the eyes of some.
> One of the charges brought against them was that “their nationalistic sentiment” posed a threat to “state security.”

Reprehensible. But when you have powerful enough friends it turns out it's perfectly acceptable. There will always be someone else out there to serve as the "greater evil" cover and this is a great disservice to the world, as crimes against humanity are just swept under the rug.

> Social media, our last remaining avenue for exposing the violence, was aiding and abetting Israeli crimes against us. Our documentation and testimonies of the violence we faced from Israeli settlers were shut down by tech companies far from Palestine. This included videos of mobs chasing Palestinians while screaming “Death to Arabs;” Israeli police firing live ammunition at unarmed Palestinians; the carpet bombing of Gaza;

As long as western social media is almost entirely under US control one has to accept that everything there will dance to the tune made by and for the US and their closest interests. That much touted freedom of speech extends only as far as it isn't an inconvenience or embarrassment for those with the strings and levers. Carpet bombing civilians doesn't send a good message to be associated with the US by alliance.
I changed it the same way we change every such title which relies on linkbait tropes (which is what "I am $X. Here's how $Y" is). Linkbait tropes make HN threads worse. Editing them is standard moderation practice (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), and is also in the site guidelines ("Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

I also took care to use representative language from the article itself, describing what it is about. That's also standard moderation practice: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

Whenever we do any moderation on any divisive topic there's a strong tendency to leap to the conclusion that it signifies some political agenda, secret opposition to one side, secret support for the other, and so on. I understand that that's how the internet works. But it's deeply untrue. We're simply doing what we always do, as even-handedly as we're able.

Unfortunately, to the extent that one is even-handed (and I'm not saying we do that perfectly, just to an extent), passionate partisans on every side of every divisive topic end up feeling like the mods are secretly against them. Why? Because by definition even-handedness means they all have some data points to object to, and that's all they need to jump to such conclusions (actually, even just one data point, or maybe two, is enough to produce this conclusion). There doesn't seem to be any way around that, much as I wish there were.

I used to live on the Peninsula and know what you mean. It's worth mentioning though that you don't need a shop, or multiple, in every building. It would be enough for there to be a smattering of convenience stores and basic common services like barbers and salons. Moreover, they are not meant to be driveable so long as the surrounding density is sufficient. Polk Street in SF is very inconvenient to drive to but the shops there seem to do quite well.
The record breaking temperatures that I'm suffering in the PNW right now serves as a grim reminder that we won't have much of a future, even with all this cool tech.

Extremely rare diseases and diseases that have no known treatment options are given more lax rules for testing. Without that, there would be no way to develop treatments for them, but it comes with a side benefit of providing a method to attempt new treatment modalities.
That looks interesting. How do you plan on moderating the platform?
The same argument can be made about other systems they just aren't as grossly inefficient as Bitcoin so it isn't (usually) worth mentioning. The energy cost of doing something is always baked in as it's impossible to do anything without using energy, the difference is simply the cost vs output ratio is shit (efficiency) not that Bitcoin has a large chunk of waste energy for a reason (decentralized consensus) nobody values.

I don't value it but obviously some do, same as some don't value individual transport over mass transit but I do. It doesn't mean a car is aggravating because it solely exists to waste energy in means a car is ridiculously inefficient. Same story with crytpocurrency.
Do you know what's even more angering? According to Microsoft's security director, this is actually completely arbitrary.

"Seems like you are assuming there is a specific security feature that defines 8th gen as the CPU floor. The floor is set for a range of quality, performance, support, and reliability reasons to ensure a great experience."

Naturally on LTT Forums, they're calling BS because in what world is an 8th gen Intel Atom a better experience than an i7-7700K?

The same director has now said a blog post "clarifying the floor" is coming. If this all blows over and was a mistake, let's just say Microsoft's developers on Twitter and in their docs are just the worst at terminology.

> What's wrong with "CRISPR gene editing shown to cure Transthyretin amyloidosis in patient study"

I understand your asking a rhetorical question but in the interest of having a discussion about this I’ll try to give you an answer. Imagine a title like “Xonuicfixs shown in zenocttkike to cure Xclatngt”

Reading that you might thing “wrf are they talking about?” But imagine I just change the title to be more like:

“A breakthrough in Xonuicfixs shows promise as a cure for a range of decided.”

Have I lowered the information content of the title? Yes, certainly. However I have also made it very apparent to you an others who don’t know the subject matter why this is a worthwhile achievement, and this might therefore just become the first article that you read and learn about Xonuicfixs.

And really shouldn’t that be the job of a title? To convey to potential readers why the content might be with their time. And I would note that this is entirely different from clickbait which tires to lure you into content with no information about what the content is.

That’s devastating. I wonder why houses in such areas are not required to provide underground shelter, or at least be built more solidly.
> I am hearing that recordings of violence got silenced, thats not weird. If i post a violent video of something, changes are that they are muted also.

This is a good reason to mourn the demise of liveleaks. For as gross as much of that content was, I think our society still needs a way to publish videos that make advertisers uncomfortable.
Who gives a shit about a single commit that converts tabs-to-spaces? How is this a problem in any way?

The real problem here is that “git blame” is a garbage tool. Perforce has “timelapse view” that is radically better than any historical view I’ve seen in Git/Hg.

With respect to this issue, git just needs to suck less.

Peace is unlikely as long as settlers continue to claim Palestinean land and force them out of their own homes, considering what an obvious mockery this makes of any kind of negotiations even for those Palestineans who do actively want peace.
I very much doubt that to be true. As far as I've understood it, a far too large amount of land in the U.S is zoned to be single-family housing, effectively preventing this type of home to be built. That precludes any choice in the matter. People in the U.S opt for single-family homes because they are really the only available option.
They don’t require a biological mutation but they do require a change in agency, social state.

Take society as an organism in the abstract and it definitely needs to mutate.

Crichton was a pop science author, right-wing believer in America. His idea small groups get things done was lost on this guy who watched entire corporations publish his books and movies. I’d take his philosophy and science creds with a grain of salt.

The masses were too busy collectively validating his banal artistic efforts, so of course he would balk at collectivism philosophically while ignoring it took a village to lift him up.

Those folks are scared that if everyone can have time to write mediocre sci fi they’d have to get real jobs.
Americans are more prone to this kind of thing because they're already used to overriding settler-colonial propaganda influencing their mindset; Zionist propaganda is just another flavor.

>Stealing land and declaring a "jewish state" is no less criminal or insane than what isis / islamic state tried to do.

The most famous commentary on the Torah (Rashi) begins when the question of why the Torah begins with the story of Creation and not with the first law the Jews were given

Rashi says:
"For should the peoples of the world say to Israel, “You are robbers, because you took by force the lands of the seven nations of Canaan”, Israel may reply to them, “All the earth belongs to the Holy One, blessed be He; He created it and gave it to whom He pleased. When He willed He gave it to them, and when He willed He took it from them and gave it to us”

Downloading and running software like that from someone you met on a game server is incredibly stupid. I know multiple people who have gotten rootkits and lost control of important accounts this way.

Start booking cheap private rooms via airbnb in population centers. Check the hosts' listings to see if they offer multiple rooms in the same apt. The more the better. It's like a hostel environment but you can retreat to the privacy of your own room whenever you like. I'm a host and list 3 private bedrooms individually in one of my apts. I've seen friendships randomly occur between guests who would've never met otherwise. My guests can range from medical students doing clinicals and residency interviews to traveling nurses to digital nomads to adventurous 19 yo Europeans.
I lived in a wooden house with a brick facade from 1905 in San Francisco, so I think this is overstated.

They have earthquakes in e.g. Italy and Turkey too, you know.
I dunno. Every time species from that big Eurasian land mass -- say, house cats -- showed up on an island, there was an extinction event. Every time an isolated tribe meets "civilization", 90% of the tribe drops dead from unfamiliar pathogens. Being wired in to the big Evolution Chamber seems to forge a kind of strength (not that it's peaceful). Evolution has more dice to roll.

A few years ago, criticism of Israel's policies started being called anti-antisemitism.[1] That made it OK to censor criticism of Israel.
Israel's policies got more divisive under 12 years of Netanyahu, and there's more reason to be critical of them. Those two trends are in collision.

I don't think types are a red herring here. Because if you follow this advice, then just using logic and your source code, you can prove what data is valid. And, since types and (constructive) logic are so strongly related, then the types are, in some sense "there" even if you don't see them. To put it another way, it's nice if your computer can make the proofs but if it can't, does that make the theorems any less true?
You’re calling on a platform moderator to silence Palestinian voices. It’s the exact problem the OP is talking about.

Censorship in social media is definitely on topic for HN.
Some posts with political overlap are on-topic for HN. Exactly how we handle that is a complex question, but also one that has been well-worked-out over the years. Here are some detailed explanations:
