> You people have lost your minds...the vaccines are a poor risk proposition for huge segments of the population they're being administered to, and Covid is a virus on par with the 1968 influenza season whose threat is being vastly overstated

It's always interesting to see how people spin narratives to fit their own biases and preconceived notions, as exemplified by the criticism of vaccines in this context. If the general public was more likely to be thoughtful and considerate, rather than bombastic and dismissive, there would (probably) be fewer such news stories about restricting the spread of misinformation.
Neat project. I wonder how hard this would be to adapt to an ESP8266/ESP32 target (or other micros with onboard radios) and sending the code wirelessly.
I've been working my way through Seinfeld, and I realized most of the plot lines couldn't have happened if cell phones were commonplace back then.
It’s not about suffering. Olympians, Students, Soldiers, Prisoners, Widows, Retirees, and anyone else who goes from regimented patterns to increased freedoms are all to a greater or lesser degree cast adrift.

It’s rare for people to only be facing a single issue, and the degree that any one issue is impacting them can very wildly. Still, dismissing similarities because of differences in intensity is counter productive. Grief counseling often involves encouraging people to go through their daily rituals, but all of those transitions can benefit from similar advice.
I find that the quality of the communications increases with the resistance to communicate.
Are you saying that there is no causal link between hate speech and genocides/massacres? Because that's historically not accurate. Here's a recent example:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebo...

What conservatives ignore (and I consider myself pretty conservative-leaning) is that there's a grey area of speech that doesn't rise to direct incitement to violence but that nevertheless contributes to a climate that leads to genocide.

Other examples: The Der Sturmer publication in the 1920s Germany, and the hate speech being broadcast on public radio in Rwanda, among other examples. This speech galvanizes the general public against a group, which can lead to a not-so-great outcome for them.
I don’t think you can tell either way from the data in the Twitter thread.
There was a college hockey rivalry between North Dakota and Minnesota years ago that had this crazy contrast of styles.

You'd have games with North Dakota with 12 shots on goal (crazy low numbers) and Minnesota with 40 or more shots on goal. The results, the games were still 3 to 4 and so on and very competitive.

North Dakota would setup and just pass and pass. Minnesota would hang back defensively and wait for them to take their shot and try not to make a mistake. Minnesota would get into the offensive zone and just pepper away with shots at the goal and North Dakota would buzz around trying to scramble for that puck.

It was amusing because it was such a contrast of styles with each end of the rink playing entirely different. And yet they were very close / fun games. Fortunately in hockey it doesn't really slow things down quite like soccer when you take your time.
I thought it was something Kerberos related initially, but that's only due to the fairly mundane circles I move in :)
Anecdotal, but a lot of front-end positions I see do require either of a) experience with some framework or b) experience with React specifically.

But I agree with everything you’ve said in both your comments. I think that a lot of companies are asking for React because a lot of them are building web apps or “mildly interactive” websites, where (I agree with you) React is also fit for purpose.
This might have been true, but then Xi changed the law to be ruler for life.

Totally understand this perspective. The end goal is to provide more immersive product experiences beyond just sales. Use cases that wouldn’t be able to have a personal touch at all because of the scalability issue of making individual videos.

Sales unfortunately does have unsavory aspects to it that we at HN especially dislike
perhaps they were referring to the fact the kernel used to run bitkeeper as VCS but the licensing prohibited development
This is what it says under "why it matters" in this article:

> Revamping the structure and role of public media could be part of the solution to shoring up local media, decentralizing the distribution of quality news, and constraining Big Tech platforms' amplification of harmful or false information.

Instead of creating another single content creator who can come with their own biases, what I would rather see is a government-run platform. The motivation above about constraining amplification of harmful or false information sounds too close to amplifying only what information the government wants to put out (in other words, propaganda). I would rather see a platform because it could be free of information control and censorship from a small set of Silicon Valley conglomerates.
I wonder how many will catch on to that "ghati" username! Good one, though!
Making Reasonable Use of Computer Resources
You can tell the author will not address the matter seriously already from the title: First, talking about "Science" in general seems like grandstanding; and it immediately becomes clear that the author is citing some industry surveys regarding people's perceptions of the cause of bugs. So it's not like "Science has spoken".

Second, C and C++ are very different languages.

Thirty years ago, you could have put them in the same basket; but times have changed. C++, with its standard library, has advanced to a point where issues such as use-after-free and double-free disappear - not through programmer discipline, but by the programmer simply not allocating and freeing memory themselves. See this post:

"Why doesn't C++ have a garbage collector?"
https://stackoverflow.com/a/48046118/1593077

Moreover, when you're dealing with low-level and system software, especially OS kernels, it is usually either impossible or impractical to use a higher-level language, with a large interpreter or an even-larger virtual machine. And when the "safe languages" are used for such tasks, one often goes into unsafe mode, like Java's JNI.

Now, it's quite possible that using Rust in more lower-level settings will result in fewer memory bugs. But the author has overreached with a flamebait of post and a claim.

To be fair, this is not unique to Clojure. You need to deal with stack traces no matter what as long as you're using any programming language that targets the JVM (even statically type-checked languages like Scala). There are some great articles [1][2] that discuss various simple techniques helpful for debugging and dealing with stack traces.

A couple of things not mentioned:

* Half of the population watching the same episodes of the same programme simultaneously. If you missed an episode, it was gone forever

* Inane arguments in pubs about facts that couldn't be instantly googled.
fast enough for this workload. If you were trying to maintain 144fps with some kind of 3d interface with no frame drops, any garbage collector will be a challenge.
If a person has a history of giving talks, writing books, or creating content around code they've written there's probably a high likely hood they are capable workers and can code.
It's not so simple as all that.

We raise chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese completely free range. Our homestead doesn't really even have fence on all sides and most of it is virgin forest. All these sepecies can survive on their own in the forest here, although not in the same population density that they have on our homestead. We feed them, we take care of them when they are sick, and we provide some protection from predators... we also have dogs, and the dogs presence alone helps quite a bit with that. We also take some of their eggs, and sometimes we kill some of them. The birds know all of this, yet they stay, because life is better here than in the forest. Actually, some of the ducks (Moscovy ducks, they are fully native here) do leave, but they do so mostly when there are too many males and they end up fighting a lot.

The bottom line to me is this... we keep the birds for eggs and fertilizer (and because we like them), we really eat very little meat, but we have to manage the population. When we let it get too big they suffer more, there's more disease, more fighting, etc. In fact, sometimes when the population has gotten rather dense, there has been murder and infanticide among them! They can't solve the population problem non-violently on their own, but they do like the benefits of food and safety, so we have to solve the population problem for them. I'm not rationalizing, I love these animals and don't like killing them, and I have gone long stretches of time without eating any meat and don't mind that. But I kill them, because when the time comes it's the right thing to do, and after I kill some I eat them because that's also the right thing to do, not because I want to eat meat.

So you might say: well then don't keep animals! Maybe, but keeping them is the most ecological way to maintain the soil fertility around our homestead (poor tropical soils) and the food we can produce because of this reduces our overall ecological footprint. I think it's a win-win for us, the animals, and the planet.

Yeah because everything after 2.3 isn't...

The reason is that it's not cost effective.
The very first property testing library was written in Haskell, as far as I know.
There's good reasons to having a dedicated, more limited device.

What bothers me is that the device is a hard requirement for students, which means TI and Casio get to charge unreasonable amounts of money for these calculators that are not reflective of what they'd otherwise be worth. I brought up the Chromebook not so much as a suggested alternative, but as a benchmark for what sort of hardware you can get for the same money when your market isn't completely tied to your product.
You were really terrible at these and everyone thought so.

It's also the quickest way to lose your shirt in a downturn. The only widely accepted healthy debt is a primary home mortgage, because the alternative is to lose money. Any other type of debt has to be actively managed, which may not be something many people care for.

Monograph | Senior Data Engineer | Full-time, REMOTE in US

We do 4-day (32 hour) work weeks at Monograph, and we've been doing it for 3 years now. I believe we're one of the only companies in SV that are advocates for working less, but more productively.

To learn more about our engineering culture check out our recently updated Key Values profile: https://www.keyvalues.com/monograph (Lynne is a good friend!)

We're currently looking for a senior data engineer to help architect and build process around our data pipelines. We have the fundamentals setup (event schemas, Big Query warehouse, etc), but we're hitting the scale where we each team at Monograph needs more data to help them make informed decisions. You will come in and own data with the budget to hire full-time folks and consultants to help build out our data team.

If you're interested in the built environment (architecture) that's a huge plus!

Reach out directly to me (head of engineering) and mention the HN post: moe at monograph dot com
The logical end to that is that you wouldn't hire half your employees again. When put that way it's pretty clearly an unreasonable standard.
Are maketing fliers allowed to use fonts that look scuffy--like from an old typesetting machine--even if they were put together on a computer?

Maketing materials are always in an arms race, a new graphic design trend comes out that takes a lot of work and becomes a quality/investment signal, then people figure out how to automate it and it suddenly looks passe.
Man, using a pay phone with a card instead of coins felt like the future, ha ha.

Process miner Celonis buys Integromat, valued at more than $100M
While these look great, I do wonder if these sorts of templates are the right "level" of asset to work with.

Most of these templates include a fairly developed information hierarchy, but for most applications the information hierarchy is the backbone of the UX and very tightly guided by the features of the application. By building too much of an information hierarchy do these sorts of templates over-fit to imaginary use-cases in a way that makes them useless for real world use?

Perhaps this is less of an issue than I think, if users just pick and choose the bits, and use these less as a template and more of a design-system a bit like Bootstrap, but then are they losing the value that these provide? Alternatively maybe users are re-organising their applications to fit these templates and maybe that's ok if the information hierarchies are very well designed here, but I'm not sure that's a skillset that has been applied in creating these.

Edit: looking through the Figma files, these are definitely not design systems, they're specific screens, and not very many of them. I can see these being useful as inspiration, but unsure how they could be used in an actual product.
you're missing the point, and putting words in my mouth. Israeli hacking criticism is not anti-semitism, and thats not what I meant. But the thousands of articles coming out every week criticizing Israel are largely motivated to destroy the countries image. The antisemitism is related and undeniable as a side to all of this.

Reviewable | UX Engineer | Remote (US preferred) | Full time | https://reviewable.io

Reviewable is a web app that makes code reviews of PRs more efficient and thorough -- think "Google Critique for GitHub". We're bootstrapped and growing, especially in the enterprise space, but this is not a VC rocketship. We're a tiny team that takes pride in shipping quickly while building a codebase that we actually enjoy working in.

We're looking to hire a mid-level UX Engineer: someone with a strong intuition for how to design a great user experience, but who is also comfortable with writing code to implement their design. You might be a front-end engineer with an untapped passion for UX, or maybe a UX specialist taking their first steps into development. We're pretty open-minded on the details but you do need to be able to improve on our current UI and workflow!

Our frontend tech stack is JS, Vue 2, Firebase RTDB, and custom libraries, so we don't really care what technology you're already familiar with since you'll need to pick up new stuff anyway. The one hard requirement is that you must have excellent written communication skills. After an initial chat or two we vet promising candidates via a short (paid) contract where we work together on a new feature and get it launched.

Anyway, I'm the founder -- ping me at piotr@reviewable.io if you think this might be a good fit!
A politician you can theoretically "vote out of office" can be more insidious than big business ever could. Regarding a politician, only collective action can remedy the situation. At least, with business, you get immediate remedy by going elsewhere. And maybe eventual long term remedy if enough people do likewise. Of course, even big business can become too big as to stifle competition.

Doing data storage can sound about as exciting as telling people you make refrigerators for a living. It's actually very similar, because a fridge keeps your food safe, ready, and available, and our data storage does the same thing for your data. But we get to tool around with the basics of a computer system (system threads, network stuff, filesystem stuff) and get REALLY into the details. We're looking at how we can start not only thinking about the 'Fridge' in the loop, but the entire 'Kitchen' that people care about. People use our product on a daily basis, and everything we do gets shipped into our customer's hands. So there's a big chance to make a positive impact here.

That's my pitch for you on why you should apply.

> Imagine the US and EU giving up on Israel

That could happen regardless of what Israel does. I mean if the U.S or EU decides that Israel is a colonial entity like Apartheid SA, that's not going to be because some Israeli cyber startup selling a tool. The hard left doesn't really care what Israel does now, the very idea of Israel of Israel existing is a cross between colonialism and white privilege to them.
But in the mean time Israel gain actual strategic relations with countries like Saudi Arabia that mean a lot.

Amazon Loses Security-Check Pay Suit at Pennsylvania High Court
Well, as evidenced by this thread, candidates are frustrated by the interviewing process at Google, in particular by poor/generic/boring questions that test a narrow/irrelevant topic. So, yes, I took pride in selecting questions that aren't like this in order to find what the candidate is good at, not what they don't know.

And rest assured that I always made it very clear to the candidate that abandoning a question they are stuck on is best to maximize their chance of doing well in the interview. If I have a 45-min time slot to spend on a candidate, I don't want to waste 30 min on a single coding challenge that they do poorly on and have barely 15 min to cover other topics. If I get a sense they won't do well after 10 min, I stop it, move on, and that leaves us 35 min to do other coding challenges. I have more chances of finding what the candidate is good at in 35 min than in 15 min.
