I think a lot depends on whether you actually had one of those early generation kindles or not. I saw the headline and figured it was about WhisperSync and guessed it was probably due to sunsetting of the cellular networks and not Amazon turning off a feature to get people to upgrade.

I'm not saying putting easter eggs in is a good practice, only that it's not rare. I think with pretty much every company I've worked for, putting in easter eggs was specifically forbidden. And, in every company, they were put in anyway -- they just had to be sneaky enough to pass through code review undetected (which, I think, improved the quality of them!)
I'd go with Unity, targeting desktop for simplicity. There's an abundance of high quality tutorials (a respectable amount made by Unity) and the learning curve is gentle, imho.
From the article:
> In a March 2019 email included in the suit, Marvel Chief Counsel Dave Galluzzi said the release would be according to a traditional theatrical model, adding, “We understand that should the plan change, we would need to discuss this with you and come to an understanding as the deal is based on a series of (very large) box office bonuses.”

doesn't sound like they negotiated this 2 months ago...
Most templating systems work in combination with an external program written in a high-level language, e.g. Ruby for Liquid or Python for jinja2. m4 does not.
Looking at the Wikipedia article, I guess that the primary reason they were hired were their connection to government. When you are sued by the government, it useful to have lawyers that has experienced from working inside the government (and possible have political connections). The connection with Amazon labor work could be part of the decision, but I wonder if there aren't then more optimal choices if that was blizzards primary concern.

I've noticed devices seem to be doing away with basic computing primitives. File systems for example. Opening a file in a program should be a simple feature, but lately it seems that they deny you the opportunity to target what it is you want to open....

Imagine the question is something like "How do I concatenate these strings into an SQL query?"

Would you be willing to be responsible for the fallout of answering that question any other way besides "use parameterized queries instead"? Do you really think that should only be mentioned as a passing reference?
A container as just an isolated process makes enough sense to me, but where I get confused is how it allows me to use alpine or ubuntu or some other base image that differs from the actual OS I'm running on. That's what makes it feel more like a lightweight VM to me, and which doesn't seem explained by just cgroups and namespaces. Or if it is, there's something I'm still failing to understand here.

awk just always seemed a little too domain-specific to really invest time in. The number of times I think "gee, I really wish I knew better awk" are few.

This week I've been doing some Lua programming; I had done some Lua several years ago for something else, but found that I had forgotten most things. Even for Ruby I've forgotten quite a lot, yet for two years I programmed Ruby every day for a living. It's just that I haven't done much Ruby since, and when I did some Ruby several months ago I had to look up quite a lot of basic syntax things because I had roughly remembered how it worked but not enough to actually get stuff done in it.

In general, I find that effective practical programming skills are a bit of a "use it or lose it" thing. I don't think I'll use awk enough to not "lose it", even though it's a fairly small language, and most problems it solves can also be solved in other ways.
They're probably more worried about what happens if they have to actually face a unionized workforce than what the public might say about them hiring a union-busting law firm.
> My understanding is the shelters often require no drugs or alchol and that is a deal breaker for some homeless people.

My understanding is that many do not consider homless shelters a dignifying place to live in: no private space, no private room, etc.

They'd rather live in their care or their tent where they have some "me" space, than in a shelter.

In Germany, for example, the government would pay for your rent before letting you sleep on the street, car, or tent. They don't consider shelters a dignifying place to live either, and having a sane place to live is pretty much a pre-requisite for being able to turn your life around.
Disney lied about it. They said they would renegotiate with her if plans changed about theatrical release, and then when plans changed, they didn’t renegotiate. (The contract was signed WELL before the pandemic.)
It sounds like they have a legal premise and they want to work out the implications, not to open up discussion to every quibble about the FSF's values. Having an opinion on the legal issues around their licenses and values seems sort of essential to what the organization does.

The word "unbiased" seems to be doing a lot of heavy work in your comment. The FSF is inherently biased towards its project -- how is that a problem?
Sounds very antitrust to me.

Turn-about is fair play, right?

Less tongue-in-cheek, I'm really not sure it's China's responsibility to ensure good working conditions in the foreign companies that produce the goods they want to buy, and I'm not sure it's the west's responsibility to ensure good working conditions for the Chinese workers who produce the goods we buy either. I feel I may be in the minority with that view though.

I’d give them a call. Their customer service is amazing with things like this.
I took the example program from the OpenMP standard and built it with GCC 11 -Ofast. -fopt-info said the relevant loop was vectorized. Adding -fopenmp gave more vectorization messages from elsewhere, but I don't have time to figure out the difference from the tree dump (not being good with assembler). Doubtless the directives can help, but you do need to get them right, and I trust GCC more than me!
Yeah tbf it was offered as a follow on question, I'm just not sure it makes things clearer in describing functional and design differences.

This seems accurate.

Contextually, ActiBlizz is responding to the DFEH situation with a new biglaw firm.

Will ActiBlizz use WH's union-response services? I would be surprised if they don't. WH will likely sell guidance about what can be legally done to chill early unionization pressures. If unionization efforts really get rolling at ActiBlizz, no doubt they will spend more at WH.

What is good: WH's tactics at Amazon, AL were monitored and reported as disgusting. If they repeat those at ActiBlizz, there may be pressures for regulators to increase protections against corporate interference of unionization efforts.

I'm wondering the same. I suppose it comes down to the semantics of where notoriety begins, but they're representing some slimy clients regardless.[0]

Just because you trust a bunch of people does not mean that you can force others to trust the same.

There is nothing "stupid" about not allowing that. It is just common sense.
Because the magnitude is no longer defined using the original Richter scale. Earthquake magnitudes are now defined using a similar scale called the moment magnitude scale.

Also watts are an SI unit of power, whereas Richters are not a unit of earthquake. It's just the name for the scale itself.

Hmm, the point is that Disney breached the contract.

The pandemic would still affect her earnings, but that's beyond the point - the release shouldn't have happened on stream.

So it's Disney who should have gone to her and say, maybe let's give you a cut of the streaming and we will release this simultaneously.
Seriously. Its not like alternatively I can code for 8 straight hours. I treat meetings like breaks for the most part.
I think they were negotiating in March 2019, when there wasn't a pandemic to consider?
Show HN: SideNotes 1.3 for macOS – Quick Notes on Screen Side
Honestly, I'd be lying if I said I don't agree.

We didn't know about half of my daughter's conditions until after she was born. We lived in Indiana, and had treatment in Illinois, because of whatever laws, we were rushed into deciding whether to continue with the pregnancy, but after I had seen her little face/profile on the CT scan, I knew I had to meet her, and I loved every single moment with my little girl, I'd do it again if I could have more time with her.

But in hindsight, watching her battle through her 8 months, the 9 surgeries, the horrific recoveries, the constant diagnosis', watching her code in front of me and the nurse's chest compressions break her ribs in the process. We tried to make her life as beautiful as we could, but she really suffered, more than I or anyone could imagine, and now I have the imagine of her last breathe imprinted in my head, and watching videos of her in the hospital and hearing the beeps and alarms is super triggering.

My wife and I were lucky that we made it, considering parents of children with disabilities commonly result in divorce. It was one of the most horrific things I/my wife have ever gone through, and we've both lost parents as teens. I know many couples/relationships/children aren't so lucky.

Anyway, I'm going to advocate for:
- more testing when abnormalities are found at 20-22 week scan
- extend termination limits to allow for further testing to be carried out
- advocate for easier access to terminations, support parents on how difficult the process will be, whether they can handle it, resources on when times are difficult, etc
- regardless of my daughter's diagnosis/disabilities, she didn't qualify for Medicaid off the bat, she actually passed away without any government assistance, even though she severely disabled. So obviously, advocate for children of disabilities and everything wrong with this post

That does absolutely nothing to address the affiliate problem, nor does it catch advertorial or "native ads" as they sometimes called. Ignoring all content served by ad brokers is no more sufficient than browser ad blocking extensions. It helps, but you don't get an ad- and distraction-free result.
The shooting of the movie ended months before the pandemic hit, and the negotiations regarding her salary had obviously been done before the shooting had even started.
If someone only has a tangential knowledge of the problem, would it be better if they just don't give their input at all and simply leave the thread empty? Non-experts contributing their opinion doesn't take away space from the experts to answer it properly.

If the advice is really that bad or uninformed, then it should just be downvoted. That's not really related to the "XY problem".
This.

I actually do enjoy being in the office. I would much rather the hours be a little better - like 6 hours not 8 to take into account the commute.

But being in an open office and not in my own person office is painful. So many distractions.

I had my own office (as a manager) for 2 years, and it was bloody glorious. After I switched jobs and still was a team lead / manager, I no longer did due to those companies cultures and it was so much worse.
Maybe so, I'm no expert. But it does seem like the SCOTUS ruling presents a dead end for the CDC if it tries for another moratorium unilaterally.
Unlikely, she is very talented and extremely popular.

She may not do a Marvel Studios project again, but her character's arc is complete now so there's not much of a reason to have her anyway.
Clickbait title for a highly opinonated piece that would never see the light of day in a respectable publication like the Washington Post, WSJ, NYT, Economist, etc. WilmerHale is a well-known top-100 law firm with a long history -- it's definitely not a "notorious union-busting firm." I'm flagging this story because it doesn't belong on the front page of HN, IMHO.
Collective bargaining is not at all incompatible with a "free market." It's just a smarter way to negotiate (more power collectively) and the end result is a contract between a company and a group of workers. It's not like, say, a minimum wage where government sets a price.

Prefer delegation over inheritance was one of the first OOP lessons I learnt. I read it in a C++ blog around 2004, it was explained very well with geometric shapes examples.

The only time I used inheritance was while implementing a job execution framework. It fit the pattern nicely.
I tried it out, but two main things stood out:

1. The 1x speed was unbearable, which leads to the next point
2. The quality of the conversations was very low for me. The more interesting rooms were packed quickly and there were way too many people who were using the system just for monetization. Before a lot of real conversation started, the moderators would spend about 20 minutes going over their backgrounds and platform, which seemed to be the main point of the conversation. They also seemed to talk in a slow pace that a networker would talk in rather than someone really enthusiastic about their subject matter or even an entertainer.

Some highlights were Tim Dillon trolling on Clubhouse, though (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clTehN8Xnuc)
Of course it is. My god, there have been like 100+ documentaries and an uncountable number of news articles and literature written about this exact topic for like the last 30 years.
If they had paid do the tenants still owe? If they do does the land lord get double the money if they pay or do they owe it back?
As a tenant what would stop me from not paying knowing my landlord still gets the check or work out a deal with them that I “don’t pay” and slide them 50% my rent in cash. It’s a tricky thing to tackle!

For search results where the spam overwhelms the signal (it used to be able to do a decent reverse phone lookup by putting a phone number into Google), you end up with empty pages or mostly empty pages in the search results.

>They may have even negotiated this deal before the severity of the pandemic was plain?

The talks for this began in 2017, so undoubtedly it was negotiated at that time before any real work on the film was done.

So very likely, Disney is in the wrong here but I suppose it's for the courts to assess such a thing, or for Disney to find a way to make the issue go away
Unfortunately on some sites even generic google search (not limited to that site) is better than on-site search...
Their Wikipedia page doesn't mention anything about union-busting. If you are "notorious" for something in this day and age, it should at least show up in ten paragraphs of Wikipedia.

The main controversy mentioned there is them representing people who are held in Guantanamo under suspicion of terrorism. It seems more like Wilmer Hale is a huge bunch of lawyers doing all sorts of things, than some union-busting hacks.
As someone who has done this, I can tell that it's not easy to justify. In my previous company, there were two teams, one in India and the other in US, working on a project. Each team had a scrum master and a daily morning scrum call. The India team was expected to attend the US team's scrum call as well. This made no sense to me as I already provided updates in the Indian scrum call. So I made it clear that we should either cancel the Indian scrum call or we should not attend the US one. But I was a relatively junior developer and senior engineers were complying despite disagreeing with the arrangement. So, the US scrum master escalated it as far as he could take it. I did not back down and defended my position with senior management as well. It was a fun filled week though. Every day the US scrum master would think of a new silly reason to escalate my absense and I would have to counter it. Eventually, the practice of attending both scrum calls was dropped.
Really hate this. It's going to give me a bunch of anxiety about missing out on conversations because they were in a thread I didn't notice instead of the normal channel. Would love to be able to turn off the feature for an entire server.

My IRL friends and I are in a server where we all have admin permission, so even if I turn off the threading permissions for @everyone, we can still make them.

> only played the role she was brought on to do

How is that different from losing? Just because she was set up to lose?
...why though?

5 and "5" are different objects, one is a number and one is a string, they shouldn't compare for equality.

+ in Lua is only addition, you can't add a string to anything, so if that string can be a number, that's obviously what was intended.

Similarly, .. is only concatenation, so if you're concatenating a number you clearly want it to be a string.

It works great in practice. How is this better than anything which languages that overload addition and concatenation can offer?
