> If there is currently a 100% outage, it's best to go all out on trying every possible fix, because typically you'll restore service quicker that way. Sure, occasionally you dig yourself a deeper hole, but usually it's the best strategy.

Almost assuredly not. If a system hits a 100% outage, there are about to be a series of cascading failures by dependent systems. If you don't even understand which system is the root cause, all you're doing is testing a bunch of never-before-tried combinations in production and hoping something works.
Yeah the "highest salaries = best country!" trend is strong on HN, but high salaries can't really buy you the things you get basically for free in a different country due to culture / government differences. Turns out you can buy a lot of infrastructure and social welfare programs with all the tax revenue not spent on $100 rolls of toilet paper and bombs for secret wars halfway around the world cuz "freedumb!".

Even when people point out how those "other countries" may tax you like crazy (which is only half true), the amount of time wealth you get back is significant, e.g. grade-school kids commonly commute to and from school by public transit where I live now (although sometimes with a chaperone if they're too young) and women go running at night in the relatively unlit park near my house, which I never saw where I lived in the US (even in relatively safe burbs). You also don't really have to own a gigantic money-sucking vehicle that you have to worry about insuring, parking, damaging, etc, in most European cities either.

I suppose I can only speak for myself but I don't see that as an attractive option, and what you're describing is mostly what I did do for the game release I mentioned.

If I sell on Windows (I do) and Mac (I do) then I have to support a certain range of OS versions and ongoing OS releases - even if that means (for example) I have to figure out how to 'notarise' a Mac executable so that a user doesn't have a big scary Security Warning pop-up. Not ideal, but fine. The challenge with Linux is that I would have to communicate against expectations - that I would have to make it clear that when I 'support Linux' it looks different to the support for Windows or Mac. I do genuinely think that 99% of Linux people get this, it's just the 1% that's maybe less forgiving of different standards.

For me, just personally and selfishly, passing the buck to Photon or Wine is an easier sell for my business.

The scale of death at residential schools was known since at least 1907.

> Upon taking the job, Bryce began (in his words) the “systematic collection of health statistics of the several hundred Indian bands scattered over Canada.” In 1907, Bryce released a report drawing attention to the fact that, according to his surveys, roughly one-quarter of all Indigenous children attending residential schools had died from tuberculosis: “of a total of 1537 pupils reported upon nearly 25 per cent are dead, of one school with an absolutely accurate statement, 69 per cent of ex-pupils are dead, and that everywhere the almost invariable cause of death given is tuberculosis.” [1]

Bryce, a whistleblower, was defunded and removed from his position over reporting on it. The government moved to stop collecting statistics on infectious diseases in residential schools afterwards.

> as a Canadian I would echo Chinas call for a full human rights inquiry at the international level.

Not to diminish the tragedy of this, but China's genocide is current and ongoing. Their call for an investigation is an attempt to deflect from that. Canada should be doing something, but not on account of China's urging. That's like Nazi Germany asking for an inquiry into American Slavery. Of course it was wrong and tragic.

The hell these policies become "relatable". I can understand why these policies are made, but relate to them? I want to see a better world. I won't compromise and relate to policies causing destruction of human rights.

I'm saying this as a hyper-privileged, cuddled native of a country that acquired it's position on the world stage in part by enslaving other humans. We were homicidal, genocidal asshats, just like the Canadians with those natives, just like the Chinese with their Uyghur population.

We're a violent race. If we want to be better, we shouldn't tolerate any of our shitty behavior, and we shouldn't soften the messaging when talking about abject atrocities.

Creativity does not arise spontaneously from chaos, people bumping into one another at random. If one thinks of creative occupations: composers, writers, painters... one doesn't visualize big open offices, but rather a single individual concentrating on one job at a time, in silence.

There are writers rooms and painters workshops where workers can collaborate on the same project at the same time, but just because you run into Linda from accounting or Tom from marketing will probably not help your creativity or give you unique insights about the problems you are grappling with. A walk in the park is more likely to help.
From what I’ve seen in hiring, you’ll reach the 75th percentile with consistent formatting and no spelling mistakes. It’s incredible how bad some of the resumes are. You would think it would be a good idea to optimize the one constant across all your job applications, but apparently not. If you’re applying as a senior frontend engineer, but you can’t even layout text in Microsoft word, what should I infer about your ability to build a web page?

That 75th percentile might even be enough to get to an interview, depending on how sparse the company’s pipeline is. But in terms of optimizing content to advance from 75 to 90+ percentile – the best method is something that jumps out at the person reading. That might be an elite degree, or a popular project, or an unusually relevant background for the company.

Basically, you need a clean resume and at least one “thing” that jumps off the page and differentiates you from other candidates.

Sometimes I wonder how the hiring process would change if applicants could see the resumes they’re competing with.
Social media doesn’t have to be awful. The current platforms are awful because they work for advertisers, not for users.
Keep in mind that the novel itself was originally serialized, and the chapter in question (Nausicaa) is one of the easiest in the novel - further, the “obscene” part is right at the beginning of the chapter.

So this wasn’t a case of censors plumbing an 800-page novel and discovering something, or of a snippet being excerpted in newspapers - a scandalous specific issue of a literary journal started the whole controversy.
True, a project that consists just of a bunch of C files that you can drop into your project and that works with (almost) any build settings is just as good, or even better than "header only" libraries IMO.

But both approaches are preferable to complicated libraries that are hard to build and force the use of a certain build framework.
Those numbers are wildly optimistic. I would like to see which studies you are quoting so I can review them.

> why should [applications] get to dictate which system features a user can invoke?

They shouldn't, but they do it anyway because virtually no users know how to "cheat", and most don't even know that they can cheat. The justification is that taking a screenshot violates your or someone else's privacy or security. In the case of security, they assume you're too dumb to know better.
Microsoft announces next gen Windows (Windows 11)
Full disclosure: I'm a founder of Authzed (YC W21)[0], which is a productized Zanzibar system.

> just want to understand what makes it "highly scalable", as it isn't clear from the article.

While this post might not cover in depth why their system is scalable, the Zanzibar paper[1] and this post[2] about Zanzibar covers why similar systems are scalable. A oversimplification would be to say that finding a path between two nodes in a graph can be recursively broken down and performed in parallel -- the Authzed implementation looks roughly similar to a map reduce.

>Are ALL permissions stored as an Object::relation pair? i.e. do you need to register permissions for all new entities relationships, or do you have some way of storing more dynamic permissions?

Zanzibar implementations do have graph schemas (called Namespace Configs in the paper) which offer set operations for computing dynamic relationships. When you create a new user or object in your app, you typically also write a few relationships into Zanzibar and the rest of their permissions are implicitly granted through the computed definitions in your schema.

If you're interested in learning more about Zanzibar, we're giving a PapersWeLove talk that will be streamed on Twitch next week: https://www.meetup.com/papers-we-love/events/278148236/

Something troublesome to people who worry about privacy would be FB asking people to side-load, which in a sense they did when they bought a VPN and asked kids to grant all access to network traffic [1]. Kids will ignore warnings, and they are thought to be savvier than their folks. Kids are the ones who will download games that basically train you to love ads.

And Apple doesn't collect revenue from FB, but FB is probably the heaviest in its weight class. If FB asks, parents will say yes. If Fortnite asks, children will say yes.

> Integration of aboriginal culture into the Canadian education system.

No thank you. I prefer the education to be secular. At this point, we have many more people from other cultures. So many cultures that integrating all of them into the education system becomes contradictory. The issues that natives have with the education system have nothing to do with the content. In fact, having "aboriginal first" education on reservations might seem like a feel-good idea that everyone wants but actually sets them up for failure by presenting a huge barrier to entry when going to normal universities. The exact "whitewashing" barrier you are talking about.

> Including traditional aboriginal health practises into the health care system [...] they die because they don't trust the Canadian health care system.

Sure, as long as the treatment being offered has at least an iota of scientific evidence of efficacy.

> Adding Ojibway as an official language (either federally, or mandate the provinces provide services in the predominant native language of that territory).

Just sounds ridiculous when Ojibway is not even the most spoken aboriginal language. Less than 1% of the population
is a has an aboriginal language as a mother tongue. Making any of these languages as an official language is just an extremely costly virtue signal that doesn't actually help anyone.

> Guaranteed seats in the Canadian parliament.

Guaranteeing seats, for any group of people, is always a bad idea and should not even be entertained. Look at the demographics [1]. 5% by population but have something closer to 6% of federal districts where they have the plurality of the vote. Seems like the system is working.

In Germany?! Never! /s

This reminds me how the gyms in Germany were told by the government they were not allowed to collect membership fees during the lockdown but the big chains did it anyway on the basis of "what are you gonna do about it?". So if you wanted gyms to comply, each customer had to take their gym to court on an individual basis but most never bothered.

It's crazy, from a foreigner's perspective, with how much shenanigans big business in Germany can get away with legally, considering how strict and bureaucratic Germany is. And don't get me started on customer service.

But they messed up so bad with the Windows store. It is beyond belief:

- By including Candy Crush and other bloatware in the store, the store started with a bad reputation already.

- By allowing manufacturers to define apps you cannot uninstall via the store, this infuriated any power user.

- By no allowing to delete any items from your "purchase history" you could never try out any free apps without them contaminating your history. They did so to prevent people from losing their purchases, but this was just stupid with free apps.

- Discovery in the store was a joke. Search results showed apps with less than 100 installs. Descriptions and screenshots of apps are often so bad that there is no way to figure out what an app does.

- Not finding a way to offer legacy apps in the store was such a fail, it is incomprehensible. It is 2021 and end users still have to download applications from CNet and Sourceforge. A security nightmare. Don't get me started on UWP and the UIs from hell caused by it.

Finally, there is absolutely no reason that the Windows store couldn't have been what Steam is now. Just MS incompetence in their vision of where to start.

Edit:

It seems legacy apps are coming to the store with Windows 11. Yeah! Let's see how they mess up this time.

I've worked on something like this, just a lot more mundane. We had Linux PCs strapped to the ceiling of various locations, mostly malls, together with a camera and projector to produce an interactive display on the floor. I had a couple of times where somebody would be onsite and the projector would be off or the display would be mangled. And it takes quite a while to get a lift to get up to the box (if it would even be allowed at that time of day), there was no network at that time, and all they had was a wireless IR keyboard that occasionally dropped keypresses.

Imagine dictating shell commands, over the phone, to a salesperson who has no idea what half the characters are that you're asking him to type, and the only output signal I could come up with was ejecting the CD tray, which was just visible from the ground...

(Note that the goal wasn't usually to fix things on the spot, it was more to triage things like whether we needed to have a replacement projector on hand, which was a big deal.)

With (ultra)widescreens these days moving the Start Menu and Search boxes to the center of the screen makes a lot of sense. Literally brings them "front and center", and I guess if the menus/windows/boxes are moving to the center, moving the icons that open them to the center makes sense.

As a vertical taskbar user (since way back in XP days) though, I'm definitely upset by all the wasted space. I'm perplexed why they aren't allowing vertical taskbars at launch. I'm sure telemetry suggests most users keep a bottom taskbar.
Oh! What a neat idea, one which had never occurred to me. It sure would be awesome if EU or USA antitrust bodies legislated to force vendors to support a portable mechanism for purchases. It'd be nice if Google voluntarily enabled this, it'd give them a unique selling point over Apple and it would kick-start a (vibrant?) 3rd-party store ecosystem.

edit: the more i think about it the more it makes sense – multiple hardware vendors of the handsets themselves, then multiple software vendors of the the apps themselves. Would surely spur competitiveness and innovation when it comes to app pricing/bundling/sales/…
