I'm a skilled generalist with over 20 years of professional experience in software engineering, across multiple languages and platforms. My favorite part of my current position is mentoring junior developers. I work best in small groups where team members wear many hats. I enjoy learning new things, and would relish the opportunity to work on ML systems or learn Rust, but I'm open to anything.
There are a million things TV manufacturers could do that would be a problem but I think we should be focusing our attention on what they actually are doing.

Hardcoding DNS for example which makes Pi-hole ineffective. That is increasingly happening and should quite rightly be criticised.

They can in some cases do, particularly in the US.

It's still a possibility.
Yeah, in fact, Clojure needs special tooling for this, while it’s built into CL’s execution model.

Is this the first example of "woke capitalism"? Are there any earlier ones?

Companies today frequently posture as supporting sociopolitical movements as a sales technique. Ex. All of the rainbow capitalism during pride month - even from companies which give money to anti-lgbt politicians.

> Isabel Fall was on a path to becoming herself, and then she wasn’t

I don't understand why people are ignoring the fact that the suicide statistics for trans people are on the wrong side of the transition barrier? They have an identity perception illness (call it autogynephilia or whatever) which they expect to fix by transitioning. When that doesn't work they commit suicide in high numbers, since now they also ruined their bodies while enriching some sociopathic surgeon who profitted of the whole endavour. I won't go into details here (feel free to Google them), but the thing that trans-women call a vagina is not something you wish on your worst enemy.

I don't expect anything from vox.com, they have no integrity whatsoever, but why is this on HN?
We don't hold social media companies accountable for things that are posted there because then they will perform a cost/benefit analysis on the risk and liability of comment sections, free speech, posting news and political content, and most of them will engage in the most draconian reduction of free speech online in the internets history.

Why would Facebook let you talk about politics on their platform if you could defame a politician or celebrity and Facebook was on the hook? What's cheaper, banning you and/or algorithmically controlling your speech, or paying major dollars to an employee in a high cost of living who wants deep benefits just to review your speech.

I mean they'd need law staff reviewing every potentially defamatory post.

They'd honestly need lawyers reviewing every post made on social media, or else they could be sued into oblivion.

I can't imagine how any company could run a business allowing people to speak anything remotely close to freely online if that business is financially liable for the truth and veracity of every statement made.

What would happen is social media would turn into a situation where the only people allowed to post would be the Blue Checkmarks -- those who the service verifies as being Goodthinkers who won't create liability, and who may have signed an agreement with the company absolving the company of that liability.

I just can't imagine how free speech could survive online if the big guy could make the newspaper pay for a letter to the editor.
I downloaded your consulates.sqlite3 file and opened it up in https://datasette.io/ on my laptop - if you do the same (and run "datasette install datasette-vega" to get the charting plugin)

Shows an interesting graph where the number of L1 visa issuances in London drops from around 500 a month to 0 around March/April 2020, eventually climbing to between 19 and 65 per month in the past few months up to today.

This is a really neat dataset, congrats!
In The Netherlands and the EU there are quite a few well-known whistleblowers who received the short-end of the stick. One example would be Paul van Buitenen [0].

It's really risky to become a whistleblower and if you do, you better be able to live the rest of your life on your finances, because it might become very hard after becoming a whistleblower to receive another well-paying job. Also be prepared to deal with a lot of stress that might impact your health and mental wellbeing.

> I honestly don't understand why tech workers want unions.

Read Shopify's CEO speech about being a team and not a "family". Also read Coinbase CEO. These "tech unions" are PACS, not your traditional worker unions.
How about "If it's parked, or actively for sale (within the last X months), you don't get the renewal price."
That strikes me as extremely reductive. You're trying to narrow the avenues of acceptable discourse, and worse yet, you're putting your enemy in the driver's seat of that effort.
I wonder if this effort will have the impact of a change.org petition
Seems like you’re saying contradictory things here. On the one hand you’re arguing for massive moderation, and on the other you’re suggesting a few people shouldn’t be able to de-platform a president. You can’t have both.

What’s funny about this is we all act like Facebook/Twitter/YouTube are the only ways that politicians can talk to the public, yet somehow politicians have long campaigned well before the Internet existed, let alone these 3 specific platforms. It’s not like news media has stopped writing about Trump (in fact big news just yesterday about the trump org & taxes). Plus the news media was writing about how Trump is now on some new Gab-alternative, to which Gab is suggesting he’s not on there because they want to allow anti-Semitism and Kushner blocked it. So new platforms easily can come up and acquire various demographics.

It’s also not like Facebook etc is the only source for systemic dissemination of propaganda. Trump used to have extremely frequent calls with Fox News hosts, for example, which commands a very large set of the GOP eyeballs. Probably more than Twitter could ever hope for.

All of this is effectively protected by the first amendment. You could revoke 230 which would quickly lead to mass moderation or complete changes of platform behaviors/features, but you’d be very hard pressed to find a way to force any news org to shape their messaging.
>"Charity breeds wiggle room for actual hate groups."

We must fight bigotry and hate, by being intolerant and disavowing the principle of charity! It is better that ten innocent persons "face consequences" than that one hateful person speak freely.
Why is your read the only read that matters?
I don't know who originally coined the phrase, but I really like this: "Python is the second-best language for everything."

This is the main reason why I enjoy learning Python and for me, Python is the best programming language.
I tried, it was from Amazon and neither they nor Oneplus cared how or why it happened, I tried arguing that it was ridiculous that it happened but again, deaf ears, so I just let it be.

The system protects investors who were lied to. Yes that includes lies that are a bit obvious, but the result is a very, very healthy investment economy in the US. Investing is safer from flat-out fraud in the US, and that makes for more investment.

My Roku-built-in TV is usable in maybe 3-4 seconds—when it's in sleep mode. A cold boot (say, if it's lost power for any reason) does take tens of seconds.

Meanwhile, my dumb LCD TV from ~2008 only does cold boots and comes up in maybe 2 seconds, no matter what.
I don't watch Fox. I don't have cable. I don't watch TV.

Like him or hate him, I always knew what Trump was thinking. He was very open. I wish Biden were as well. When he speaks, Biden can barely get a word out of his extremely scripted speeches. Trump had a unique way of speaking, but he was always pretty clear, save for a few exceptions.

Psaki seems to always obscure any question asked. For example, she has repeatedly blamed the GOP for pushing the defunding of police, which is such an epic amount of gaslighting, I'm surprised she wasn't laughed at.

Moreover, it was pretty clear that during the Trump administration, the media saw its role as one of antagonism to 'get to the truth'. During Biden's administration, they've dropped this pretense completely. Instead, they just repeat the white house's messaging without much critical analysis. This is exactly what they did during Obama. And its exactly what they did during Bush. If you recall correctly, during Bush's term, they repeated his lies so often that they sent us to a useless war in the middle east.

This is why I say that the 'return to normalcy' is opaqueness in governance and a return to the media protecting the ruling class. This isn't about party; it's not even about theory of governance. It's about having a president whose views on issues he doesn't articulate directly to me, and a media establishment that is quite happy to repeat lies from democrats or republicans, as long as they have the right pedigree.

Some time ago, there was a story where an alt-right 4chan troll woke up one day, converted to Islam and joined the Islamic State. I'm not sure what trend that flip-flop is following.

Debunking articles exist to reaffirm the beliefs of the debunkers, not to change minds. In the face of a flood, choosing to firmly stay on low ground is a poor choice, but societally we place such a high value on ideological constancy that it often leads to dubious choices.
It's hard to judge this specific case from the article because it's limited in its details of what actual criticism about this person was expressed.

But to me, the problem inherent in defamation (as well as "fake news") isn't that people are able to utter false statements. The real issue is that many people are conditioned to believe that whatever they see or hear is true. Somebody believing something negative is the only thing that might cause harm to another person.

Why do people believe that whatever they read or hear is true? I believe it's because we have active defamation/slander laws, "fact checkers", and other things designed to combat false information. Their very existence and strength is what keeps people conditioned to believe that everything they see is true. And the stronger they get, the stronger that people believe that everything they read is true. It's a feedback loop that worsens the problem it's supposed to solve.

Paradoxically, things like strong defamation laws may worsen the real problem they're ostensibly designed to solve. I strongly believe that the approach that should be taken with things like defamation isn't harsher and harsher punishment, it should be telling everybody that nothing you read online is true and having the weakest possible defamation laws (or even no laws in this regard) to get people to understand that nothing that they see or read should be considered true until they verify it. A society that understands that no facts should be considered true until they verify it would be immune from false information.
>Why would you voluntarily forgo leverage to be gained on your employer?

Because in this case it isn't in Europe?

I like the European tradition a lot more than the frequent outcomes with US unions. I've seen US unions where what the original poster describes is totally accurate.

For perl yoy can get this but you have to explicitly ask for it outside the perl interpreter. This is dome by setting up the hash seed and tell it not to add turbulence during runtime.

export PERL_HASH_SEED=0;
export PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=0;

The article doesn't mention why python and perl made the choice to add more randomness but ti's because there were attacks out there where people could determine which bucket keys would be put in ahead of time and calculate a set of keys to cause pathological behavior in anything that made a hash from user input, this was commonly url parameters or POST requests. This meant that a simple web request with the right information in it could cause your application to continually reallocate memory and expand the hash size to accomadate the inputs. Usually this just burned cpu time and made other requests time out but it could also result in excessive memory usage and the OOM killer ccoming into play.

The above environment variables work to set a known seed and then not mix any new randomness in, this doesn't get you an jnsertion order but it will make the hash itself as reproducible as possible (if you don't put the keys in in the same order your results will vary still). I uwe this in a now defunct (because of second/third/fourth system syndrome) fuzzer I had going to detect problems in the prerelease versions of perl.

The TV part of the TV requires a CPU anyway these days, because most cable signal or HDMI inputs are digital.
> Does this support writing audio sample processing code in JavaScript?

Currently, no. My intention is that the library of pre-existing nodes is both complete enough and low-level enough that 95% of things end users may wish to write can be done through this composition. That said, the embedded runtime engine is designed to be extended with your own C++ processors if you have an application which particularly needs that level of customization.

And why pure functions? Functions with side effects don't compose the way that pure functions do, because you can't rely on deterministic output given a consistent input. If you choose, you can still write your own non-pure functions to assemble your signal graphs, though I personally wouldn't recommend it :) The Elementary library will always aim to be strictly pure functions.
To be fair, TPM's are really cool from a hardware perspective. They're HSM's which can fundamentally change what threat models on your OS look like.

Unfortunately, the purpose here will be to use the fact that most users use a non-free OS to turn these TPMs against the user in order to make DRM harder to break.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Well the crime the company committed was fraud against their investors... shouldn't the victims get their money back?

Paying out the whistleblower before the victims would be like if someone stole your bike, then the cops arrest the guy and recover your bike because of a tip... and then the cops give your bike to the guy who called in the tip
An open sourced AppleQEMU would be great. I would like to build and distribute iOS apps from linux without the need of a MacBook.

IMO, Windows 11 is going in the right direction. Android apps and progressive web apps for the windows store could be both developed from linux now.
At Google I went to a talk by a former patent troll about their business models.

They buy a patent, and then milk it for what it's still worth. Eventually that goes to zero.

If they lose a case publicly, then it's zero immediately. If they settle privately, then the patent is still useful against other victims. The main goal isn't to get $$ from SparkFun -- it's to keep SparkFun from destroying their asset.

Have you considered using GitHub Actions to automate the data scraping? A GitHub Actions workflow is allowed to run for up to 6 hours so even with the PDF processing you are doing it may be enough time to generate the full site.
And yet quality of life is much higher.
I suppose these ideas can be combined. An implementation that doesn't support ordering could be of a type that only has an unorderedKeys() and lacks orderedKeys(). Which is more explicit than having a keys() function that behaves differently than other types' keys() functions.

Also, I guess you could define unorderedKeys() to mean "I'm not picky about the order" (rather than "it must not be ordered"). Then all types could have an unorderedKeys() function.
I'm not worried about not being great. I'm worried about wasting my talents.
Being subject to every imaginable form of psychological manipulation has become the norm. Advertising has had a race to the bottom as far as ethics go. News media needs to gaslight its viewership in order to maintain its flimsy position as an authority. The once subtle undertone of propaganda in entertainment is far from subtle. I don't know the reason for why people rarely notice, but I suspect they just want to enjoy their shows. If they were to think too deeply about what their shows have become, it would be hard to enjoy them.
It’s not meaningful at all. The original comment asked “where’s the accountability”

The response was “3 board seats changed” - which is not meaningful accountability at all. Nothing changes.

Atlas looks fantastic for starting a US company, and it makes sense that Stripe would start with US companies.

Are there other types of company in other countries that may be better fits for certain reasons? Are there countries/types that would work better for say, non profits, charities, or financial institutions? I wonder if Stripe is building or considering a more diverse range of options for Atlas.
