But the actual HN comments don't mention that. They only ever mention that he wants them released, but never why.

It's a fact that a lot of HN readers never actually click through to read the articles people post anyway, so most people go by the contents of the comments not the articles.

I'd bet you anything that most people who read this thread didn't click through and read that article itself, which is why I quoted it. Now they damn well know what it says.

Why do we use months? No sane internal representation stores the number of months. They are completely and utterly useless and exist only in printed representations of dates.

It's incredible how many companies exist solely to collect (and sell?) personal data. I was ignorant to just how wide spread bits of my data were until I fired up Optery. It was sorta shocking to see all the results.
> Wait, what? I don't know most of these answers. Neither do you.

You're absolutely correct, but based on the weight of the evidence we have, we can find a most likely explanation. You've previously stated that all explanations bare equally likely, but that's not true. Bayesian reasoning allows us to look at various pieces of evidence and priors and weigh them, even when all are individually of dubious use.

It's clear you don't want to answer any of those questions. They're simpler questions, my assumption here, again based on the weight of the evidence is that you're avoiding answering them because they demonstrate that Russia being responsible is the most likely answer.

As another user mentions, you're showing lots of examples of motivated reasoning, and that's unfortunate. Even more so that you're then projecting these accusations upon me. Hopefully your inability to engage with the substance of what I've presented will demonstrate that to any other readers.

> You're literally putting quotes around something I did not write.

Yes and, this is a valid rhetorical act when, for example suggesting the abstract idea one is discussing.

> The accusation was far stronger than that. The accusation was that the Russians, WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign colluded to get Trump elected in exchange for preferential treatment. The DNC hack was a small part of it. But no, there's no evidence of that small part, either.

That's not an accusation I made. Nor did any one else in this thread. And I'd agree that it is less likely than what I'm actually suggesting, which is that there wasn't collusion per say, but simply mutually beneficial actions. This is what is supported by the weight of the evidence and claimed in government reports, for example. That Russia hacked and leaked DNC data, to the benefit of the trump campaign and Russia itself, obviously. I'm unclear why you feel it necessary to inflate the accusations made to something less likely. This feels very motte-and-bailey, although I can't tell if it was intentional or a subconscious way to protect your preconception.
Immediately what I thought of when I saw it flexing it's wheels!
Just as an example of something that happened to me just today: I wanted to connect 2 monitors to my linux Home PC: 1 in the Nvidia GPU HDMI and another one in the integrated Intel HDMI.

But you usually can't achieve vectorization by just simply changing your data layout, the compiler's auto-vectorization features usually doesn't work that well. SOA or AOSOA layout for vectorization only becomes important when you begin to explicitly write SIMD code in intrinsics or pure assembly.

And explicitly writing in SIMD is quite a hard feat in itself: it's okay when you're accelerating small, simple, and isolated algorithms in hot-code paths, but when you're doing much more complex calculations the time you need to invest in it to make it work goes out of hand pretty quickly.

I agree, personally as a CS Student, I gave contributing to open source a shot and I felt like it really helped me a lot. Joining a project's slack, chatting with maintainers, developing features with docs and tests and code reviewing really makes you feel like you're an actual software engineer. It gave me quite the confidence boost that I can do this after years of internship rejections and never knowing what I was doing wrong.

I'd recommend it for someone/student who feels like their technically competent but never got the chance to work with an already built codebase and a team because it really puts you up to the test.

> Converting from string datetime to a datetime object will automatically convert the time to the local tz

This happens in C# too:

DateTime.Parse("2021-06-28T12:00:00Z").Hour

Outputs 5 instead of 12 (for me, US Pacific) due to a default conversion to local time. It does have an opt-in flag to "adjust to UTC" though.

Not intuitive at all, at least to me...

This is one of the more bizarre/interesting predictions I've seen so far.
There is one metric where hand-coded-in-vim pages tend to do poorly, and that's cumulative layout shift. If you have images on your page (a reasonable assumption) and just stick <img> tags in there, you can get dinged on cumulative layout shift because the layout will shift as images get loaded.

I use a somewhat hand-coded-in-vim approach, but there's some post-processing that adds width/height attributes to <img> tags which mitigates this particular problem.

Edit: Not sure why everyone is telling me to add "height" and "width" attributes, because that's what I wrote in the comment, above. Just to explain how this works--the width and height attributes describe the "intrinsic size" of the image.
Why would I try to score karma and where you get that assumption from? I must be mentally blind.

"even if that means feces and human despair littering the streets and parks"

The solution is not criminalizing these people but giving them more support.

More bathrooms, not more prisoners.

Safe, clean places for addicts to use drugs, and ensuring that the drugs they get are pure and clearly labeled as to their dosage, which is the best way to minimize unintentional overdoses.

A stronger social safety net so that no one has to be homeless ever again.

More and better mental health services for everyone.

A diversion of wealth and resources from who have way more than enough for themselves and their families to those who have nothing.

That's what we should be doing, not imprisoning more people and ruining more lives.

If you consistently wrote in the way that Goofy talks then most HN readers would understand you just dandy but you wouldn't look no ways good.

No forms of wealth is safe against torture, and I don't think people expect bitcoin to be any different. It's still vastly more secure than a bank account (which only requires a phone call to seize) and is trivially linked to your identity (as opposed to pseudonymous bitcoin addresses)
Linux simply has too many rough edges still exposed to appeal to a lot of less technical users. Even in the best case scenario (super standard desktop with hardware well supported by FOSS drivers), there’s always some odd thing that requires one to pull out the terminal, usually because UI functionality was insufficient or failed to work as expected.

That does not bother me or probably most of us on HN much, but for most people it’s like periodically needing to muck around under the hood of their car. It’s too much, they just want to drive and take the vehicle in to get oil and brake changes every once in a fairly long while. Anything more is tedious overhead.

The situation with proprietary drivers still kinda stinks too. The distros I’ve seen handle it best are Ubuntu with the proprietary drivers control panel and pop!_OS which just sidesteps the issue altogether for Nvidia hardware by shipping an ISO with non-free Nvidia drivers included, but the rest just leave you with a package manager, terminal, and whatever you can scrounge up on the internet. Yeah it’s technically the responsibility of Nvidia, etc to fix that, but it’s negatively impacting adoption nonetheless.

The big difference was every person that got a subprime mortgages got involved with a lot of money.

People are getting into crypto with 50 bucks.

The majority of crypto investors probably have less than 10k invested.

Which would sting to lose, but not destroy their lives.
It's worse than that. The desktop efforts are heavily fragmented and arguably the leader, RedHat's "Gnome", while quite polished, is actually quite user hostile (e.g. works very differently to anything else, perhaps to dodge patents; and constantly changes/removes popular features). Linux needs to have a standardised "platform" with stable APIs.
In the constitution you have the 5th amendment due process clause. This is basically your right to good customer service from the government when you are the one charged with a crime. The administration of due process is very expensive, and any good corporate manager driven by OKRs focused on revenue would do away with the process all together in favor of plaintiffs, unless the defendant was a significant taxpayer or something like that.

This does not apply to private corporations. However, now we have these trial like processes going on inside of Google and they are driven by OKRs and quarterly profits, so its 100% plaintiff friendly, because Google knows the defendants are largely powerless and not revenue generators.

> GDP is calculated from supply and velocity, not the other way around, yeah?

No.

Your graph shows that the Fed only starting to unwind their balance sheets in 2018. Why was the Velocity of Money dropping during a boom phase? It's because it's calculated like I said.

Our trade deficits force us to take our greater and greater amounts of debt. During recessions - where people and companies are unable to take out the debt - the government is forced to back us.

The growth of GDP has been constantly dropping because our economy has been keeping alive more and more zombie companies. Many of these companies are taking out debt, and funneling that debt directly back into their stock through buybacks. These buybacks increase the demand of their stock and reduce the supply, which raises prices, which raises their market cap, which allows them to take out more debt! Since their market cap has risen, Vanguard and Blackrock and all of the other index funds are now forced to buy more, which pushes even more demand to these stocks.

With the growth of debt, the Fed can now unwind their balance sheets. The cycle continues...
The US has been reducing its use of coal power pretty significantly. In 2016 Coal accounted for 30% of all power generation. This has now been reduced to 19%. It’s been replaced by renewables and natural gas plants.
IMO copyright for creative works should last a year, maybe two or three, but no more. The most income something generates is usually when it just gets released. Movies, for example, usually don't even count their revenue from outside of movie theaters.

This is the only way to make copyright mostly work, and make people respect it. Right now it's so long it could as well never expire. On the other hand, if it only lasts several years, many people would have the choice of paying right now or waiting for the copyright to expire and getting it for free. It's also very unfortunate that the entirety of our pop culture is covered by copyright right now.

And second thing to make it work even better: copyright should not be transferable. It should not be possible to sign something to forfeit your exclusive rights to your own work.
