Each time I post a link to Hacker News that becomes popular it ends up being at least a $100 in bandwidth bills from Google Cloud, and I've got a simple tiny unbloated website. This poor guy is going to go bankrupt. The Internet dark age is like Ma Bell all over again when we'd get those $500 long distance bills for dialing into BBSs.
Edge is the biggest threat to Chrome and Firefox is still great. uBlock Origin does not even work as well in Chrome as it does in FF which will always create demand for alt browsers. I can't deal with with Chrome but if everything else goes away, Edge is fine. Ms is doing exactly what Google did with webkit, what can you do?
-Werror can be hang up development at times, which is why we don't use it with Ardour. Sometimes, it can take a while to understand why some obscure message from the compiler is actually relevant and actionable, and that's not always the main focus while working on features or fixing a specific bug.

However, we do have a policy of expecting that all compiler errors (except those in in-tree 3rd party libs) should be fixed. We take a very negative view of any commits that create new compiler warnings. Essentially, we prefer to have a development culture that treats warnings as errors rather than have the compiler enforce warnings as errors.

When building Ardour, we this as a minimum:

'-Wall', '-Wpointer-arith', '-Wcast-qual', '-Wcast-align', '-Wno-unused-parameter'

but prefer to use this:

'-Wall', '-Wpointer-arith', '-Wcast-qual', '-Wcast-align', '-Wno-unused-parameter', '-Wcast-align', '-Wextra', '-Wwrite-strings', '-Wunsafe-loop-optimizations', '-Wlogical-op', '-Wnon-virtual-dtor', '-Woverloaded-virtual', '-fstrict-overflow'

You can generally trace it back to someone they know on Facebook or Tucker Carlson. Dems would serve themselves better by not trying to point fingers on where to aim the ban cannon. This is only going to cause more mistrust.

Actually visit the areas with hesitancy, then come back and see if you say the same. I know some 100 people that are hesitant. Not a one of them are on FB, nor listen to anything FOX puts out. It's gov mistrust fueling it. Not Tucker Carlson. That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard lately.
There’s another construction analogy- the tendency to use the tool at hand vs “the right tool in the truck”. You use what you know and are familiar with without stopping to consider the alternatives (which you may not even know about - at least a tool in a truck is visible but when’s the last time you ran ls /bin).

(Milwaukee sells “demolition screwdrivers” designed to be used as prybars and chisels because that’s what people do with them:

The wasm implementation here was still running under a JavaScript test harness, so I suspect it's the JS-WASM boundary interactions that are causing the slowdown. WASM itself (if it doesn't need to interact with JavaScript) usually runs with a much smaller performance penalty.

What do you mean was removed in about:config? The page is still available in Firefox 90/91. Just curious!

They even added a new page recently about:third-party though only available on Windows: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/90.0/releasenotes/

You can view all the “about“ pages on about:about, e.g., about:performance, about:processes, about:networking, about:profiles, about:protections, about:crashes, about:support.

Have you tried refreshing Firefox using about:support or giving the Troubleshoot Mode a go? It sounds like there may be either something wrong with your profile or some incompatibility somewhere. Hope that helps!

Google, yes. But Microsoft? I haven't noticed, and I'm on Office 365 all day (my client uses that) while running Firefox / Linux.

Microsoft does keep asking me to use Edge on my Windows gaming machine, although it's the only browser I have installed...

But I guess the point is... where is Mozilla going to ask people to use Firefox?

Foundational Eco-fiction: George R. Stewart's Perfect 'Storm'
Offer people enough money and they will move. Offer even more and they will train specifically to do the job.

Jobs that require lots of training can have short term global shortages of skilled workers. But, that quickly self corrects as long as salaries increase.
It is strange that the top known factors for this are not even mentioned in this or other similar news stories. First, closing of schools caused large numbers of women to leave the workforce in order to care for children. Until schools are fully open and day care is available those women will probably not be going back to work. Second, all markets are cultivated things. Employers in the most troubled sectors have recently spent roughly a year and a half telling desperate workers they have nothing for them. Now that there are openings it should be no surprise that workers have moved on and have little interest in transitioning back.

All of this stuff about workers disappearing and people reconsidering their lives is pretty much a sideshow of projected narrative that is detached from what is really going on.
Only the holy experts can divulge the realm of gods that is benchmarking and reveal to us the results. How—to do we beseech them o wise one?

Aside from using small variable names and odd whitespace, it isn't particularly obfuscated.
> OP's statement leads straight to "they're out to get me," which is absolutely not helpful, and it's absolutely an indicator of a difficult hire.

Not at all. If you've been out of work for a year and seeing your savings (if you have any) dwindle and vent on what is an internet comment sections, doesn't indicate how you are in person at all.

> If I'm interviewing someone and the person is demonstrating a victim narrative, that is a huge red flag.

You are ignoring the present situation entirely. Governments have put everyone's life on hold for well over a year now (we are in month 17). Statements from authorities have been contradictory, non-sensical, they have lied in some cases and some have broken their own lockdown rules (e.g. in the UK Matt Hancock which was in charge of public health IIRC was exposed as having an affair during COVID, which BTW was illegal under the lockdown rules).

So many people can see it for what it is. One rule for them and one rule for the plebs.

> Similarly, the inability to see shades of gray (e.g. "using MySQL is always utterly stupid, you should never use it in favor of Postgres") which OP demonstrates with their COVID statements, makes a person virtually non-employable in my book

You are reading far too much into comments around COVID due to your personal bias (which btw is obvious here). Because you disagree on a particular issue doesn't not indicate someone's thinking in a different field of expertise. e.g. there are many great scientists that believe very deeply in Religion. Which as a non-believer I would think would be at odds with one another.

I have personally found it very difficult to find a job during COVID as well. I am almost 40 now and it worries me that I might experience the same in the future.
A lot of what C provides is not supposed to be used by application code. The string interface is the bare minimum one should use, but any reasonable application should create its own higher level interface. The problem of the C community is that they never managed to create a reasonable string library, or if one was created it is seldom used. Future standards should introduce a higher level string library to fix this problem.

Nobody's suggesting military members have an option for vax, but are you denying the network effects this can have? In the US veterans make up some 7% of the population. Expand that from their network effects and we get closer to the 40% or so that are hesitant. Clearly not all military members and veterans are hesitant so this is nothing more than an estimate than anything. But it still holds, you see your friend get the shot then have a bad reaction and ultimately leaves deployment because of it then it stays with you. You see it 2 times, and you're ready to swear off most vaccines.
Yeah, because we all know that people tend to behave the same online when commenting anonymously and during a phone interview. If that's what you think, I think it's you who should spend some time polishing those interviewing skills.

I don't think it is. These are both logging devices that you look at after the "incident". Sure there are differences, the CI job is likely easier and cheaper to reproduce to get more data, but at the end of the day you want to be able to figure out what happened by looking at the logs.

The author is a little sloppy with his defense, which is frustrating. He ends up mixing race and class factors together for some of the counter arguments, which muddies the waters.

The SAT is class biased. The college board only offers fee waivers to folks who qualify for food stamps, and otherwise charges $55 / test. The data [1] shows strong improvements for people who take the test multiple times and weak improvements for test prep.

People take the test different numbers of times, and so the administration of the test is non-standard enough to generate these biased outcomes. If folks actually wanted to de-bias the test, we’d focus on standardizing the administration of it. Make it free for students (charge colleges instead) and make everyone take it exactly twice or something.

I would like to see something in the middle. Instead of defaulting to no javascript, default to "javascript lite". But make "javascript lite" full-featured enough that it makes building websites _easier_. I know a lot of people have tried this already, so clearly it's a hard problem, but I think there's a market for it. There's a reason why wordpress, geocities, myspace, medium, and even AMP all exist. Limiting a content creator's options can make things simpler, and people want simple.

Imagine a technology where I can test my page on one browser and be confident it looks right everywhere, not because the browser has market dominance, but because all the hard work of targeting the lowest common denominator has already been done for me. When was the last time you thought "hmm I better check and make sure this markdown document renders correctly in safari"? I think this is where the world is heading, and it's why so many sites are supporting markdown syntax. But there are so many markdown flavors and engines that we've just pushed the problem to a different level of the tech stack. But I think the concept is sound, even if the technology is still evolving toward that ideal.
They either broke rules or followed them, as they saw convenient. There's no need for democrat influence; the vast majority of government employees are democrats. The collective behavior is both emergent and dogmatic.

You think it's only possible to break rules in one direction at a time? Then I wouldn't expect you to get it. Maybe politics isn't for you.

>It is tiresome to discuss with Americans

Then don't. What's out of context?

Oh. Well if a left wing funded propaganda site can spin that "ban" doesn't really mean "ban" bc some people got exemptions; and even if it was a "ban" then it wasn't a good one; and even if it was a good one, it wasn't very effective... I guess that covers all possible angles.

> It is an option, the web has just evolved past no-javascript sites.

For many sites it is not an option. If you disable JavaScript then it does not render at all. I've also run across web sites that do not work at all if cookies are blocked.

IMHO this kind of design is just retarded. If you want certain functionality dependent on those features being active, I can understand that. But them being disabled should not prevent the web server from sending me HTML and CSS so something renders on my screen.
"One learns by doing." -First line of a Geometry book that I have long since forgotten.

We can't blame the standard library for numerous infelicities in the language itself, and we likely shouldn't blame it for library designs that obviously fall out of those infelicities.

Example #1 the array type looks useful, but oh, it's actually just coerced into a much less useful pointer

You can have a C function signature that says it takes arrays of sixteen integers. But it doesn't! The compiler cheerfully ignores this and uses the function for any pointer to integers. Sixteen integers, or Zero, or Sixty, the same function executes.

If you've used enough C you might just assume that's how it has to be. Nope. A Rust function declared for arrays of sixteen integers takes... arrays of exactly sixteen integers like you asked for. Not any other size.

Example #2 implicit narrowing conversions everywhere

This blew up in Linux recently, but C is OK with the idea of just assigning 64-bit values to 32-bit integers for example. The value doesn't fit in the narrower variable, but no problem just throw away the extra bits and it'll go in...
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
Well, the claim that consciousness cannot be an emergent phenomenon strikes me as a much more extraordinary claim, and thus the burden of evidence is clearly on those. I suspect this warped perception is to religious and esoteric upbringing.
This is where things get complicated.

What’s the difference between dislike and disagree with? Ginsberg and Scalia were Supreme Court justice’s know for this. Disagreeing with something, even fundamental, doesn’t mean people need to dislike each other.

Imagine, for a moment, this idea was placed on religious belief. Should people working for someone with a different religious affiliation assume their boss dislikes them?

I appreciate this is a hot topic. I just don’t like where we are going as people when we treat disagree as if it’s dislike and act on that.

You are right in being skeptical.

First, behavioural responses vary from person to person and from culture to culture (Americans will smile in most social situations, Russians don't smile unless there is a laughter coming in).

Second, we are far from associating an internal subjective experience (joy) to an external objective behaviour (smile). It's actually one of the greatest challenges in psychology today. Also, how do you gauge my level of happiness compared to yours?

Third, the whole article is superficial and they don't hide it: first they measure who smiles more ... then they jump to the conclusion - all bronze winners perform the same cognition. Pure speculation.

Even if smiles would denote an emotional episode (joy) it would have to be right in the moment of the emotional episode - and it would be a micro expression (under one second).

What are your requirements for the widget employees? Are you willing to train or educate? How effective has your advertisement for the job/wage been?

On a microlevel, a worker shortage is a reflection of lack of wage and too strict requirements. You can't find a worker because your potential workers are happily doing a different jobs. You've not incentivized them enough to come work for you. You might say "But we are offering $15/hour!" and that's fine, but that's what a lot of other companies are now offering. You make balk at the idea of going up further as being "too much" but that just underscores the problem.

Now if it truly is a labor shortage, SOMEONE is going to be left with not enough workers. That'll always be the person that wants "15 years of experience! We pay $30k/year!".

Just do the extreme. Do you think you'd struggle to find someone if the offering was "$200k/year!"? Hell no, you'd have people moving to live in your widget city for that job.

> unlike before the pandemic, some candidates might refuse a job

I don't understand this one, wouldn't a pandemic (entire industries had to cut back on costs) cause more people to be looking for work and thus tip the supply and demand balance towards people being less picky?

Realistically, you can even hire people to manufacture additional workers, if you have the financial and time resources required.

Getting cold emails from random HN'ers is so rare that I don't list an email because of that.

Besides, we can solve problems on HN itself and keep things out of email.

> I don't believe one dam word the government or the media says anymore. Not one word. Not about the cough.

If you really mean this, if you really think the pandemic is all a big conspiracy created by your government... makes me genuinely curious how you come across in interviews.

I don't think you're wrong about the labor shortage thing. Similar story here: quite a bit of trouble finding a job as a 25 year old tech person while you hear left and right that nobody can seem to find any employees anymore. But that one statistic is skewed, or perhaps that companies and employees aren't properly being matched, doesn't mean "the cough" (and what many people that contracted the virus describe as the worst week in their life) is all a big hoax.
It’s funny, I hear a ton about worker productivity and similar worker centric views of production, labor, and wages. But, as any Walmart, warehouse, or even pizza shop worker will tell you - their ability to negotiate wages, change production practices, or make any difference in the workplace amounts to a suggestion box and a 25 cent raise.
