Hold on a sec, cut down the all caps. No need to shout. I grew up in a third-world nation and it's far better than the feces ridden shithole that is SF and Oakland, largely the bay area. Needles on walkways, crime through the roof, plastic trash on the road sides, feeling terrified of walking on the street at night, car thefts, the whole 9 yards. It is indistinguishable from a third-world country, I'd argue it is worse.

Sure, GDP is higher, thanks to big corporations and wealthy NIMBYs camping out in their caves, voting for their own demise.

No one wants to live in Bay Area. In fact, most engineers I've talked to want to leave and they have been leaving in droves.
I'm not sure what you're trying to add to the conversation. Companies and network providers implement regional and country blocking all the time. My company doesn't do business with anyone in China, so they block IP addresses associated with China. It's not insinuating racism or profiling of the people, but it's well-known that certain areas of the world have bad actors.

If you're trying to somehow set an example of where it's OK in one context and not OK in another, that's really not a fair comparison.

you mean boycotts by a bunch of petulant power mods. I sincerely doubt that rank and file reddit users really cared that much.

Covid-19 symptoms coming in two waves is something I've heard from a few people, and anecdotally fits my experience - generic symptoms (body aches, fatigue, fever) cleared up, then about a day later my blood oxygen levels dropped sharply with no obvious symptoms (happy hypoxia). I wonder what causes this apparent pattern.

I had a positive PCR test during the first set of symptoms FWIW.

Just in case anyone is concerned by the risk vaccination poses. The European Medical Agency recently reported that

Five people died. The review said they were all either elderly or had other health conditions.
I don't know what part of Canada you live in, but in my province you just get a monthly lump sum to live on. Out of that you have to pay your rent, hydro, gas, food, clothing, and everything else. There is another branch of government that runs subsidized housing, and it can offer you rent-geared-to-income (which encompasses the working poor as well as those on assistance). Sometimes when an assistance recipient is found to be spending on things outside of basic survival and fails to make the regular payments, a "direct pay" gets set up to creditors but that is an exception requiring case review and evidence, not the rule.

I know this because it has been explained to me in detail by my wife, who is a case worker at the county welfare office.

Restaurant Brands International (RBI) | Miami, Toronto, Baar (just outside Zürich), and Remote | full-time, interns | https://careers.rbi.com/global/en/r-technology-landing

RBI is one of the world’s largest quick service restaurant companies with approximately $32 billion in annual system-wide sales and 27,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries and U.S. territories. RBI owns three of the world’s most prominent and iconic quick service restaurant brands: Burger King, Popeyes, and Tim Hortons.

RBI Tech is a collaborative, high-impact team within a multi-billion dollar business. We’re growing fast, thinking faster, and constantly exploring. We create products and technologies to deliver digital consumer experiences that enhance guest interactions with our brands across 27,000 restaurants.

We recognize that guests no longer make food decisions based only on the food itself, but rather the entire experience surrounding the meal--and that experience is becoming increasingly digital. We’re building a React and Node stack to support an ordering platform spanning across the three brands. We’re solving technically interesting problems while building products designed to engage and delight our users.

By collaborating with our brand partners, we are able to seamlessly integrate the physical and digital experience for our guests. We’ve launched campaigns like The Whopper Detour (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDhC6LsAJgM) which helped the Burger King app reach #1 in the app store when it launched and the new Tims Rewards program which has been used by over 20% of Canadians.

> Don't conflate woke identity politics with racism. They are fundamentally different. British people are right to reject your America-centric obsession with finding racism in everything, given the UK's excellent track record.

Again, this is what I mean by British people refusing to engage with my experiences as a brown person living in UK.

Building up a strawman, then assuming I'm part of that strawman, then dismissing it does no one any good.

In Primary school in UK I (and all the non-white) kids were segregated in seating. I was always assigned seating near other brown kids.

When out shopping with my parents, in smaller stores we were "stalked" to make sure we didn't steal anything. This did not happen to our white friends that we asked to keep an eye out for this behavior.

In school plays, the non-white kids were always assigned the side-roles and the "peasant" roles. E.g. I was assigned to be a "chimney cleaner", which involved the makeup people spreading black ink all over myface and essentially making me do blackface.

But sure, this is just woke politics and you know everything about our lives.
For example some Lisps allow us to save the state of the heap to disk easily, incl. the runtime, to make an executable. This is then no special feature, saving is done in a second and starting the executable is also extremely fast. There is no extra tooling needed. That way one does not need to restore the state by loading a bunch of files. The default JVM does not support that. Code is by default compiled to native code -> no JIT needed.

The JVM also does not support optimization of tail function calls into jumps. Thus the language either has to implement it in a slower way, provide limited hacks around it or omit that feature. Various Lisps provide full TCO as an optimization feature in the compiler.

The JVM is also not optimized to represent Lisp data. For example the numerics of Common Lisp are relatively powerful and thoughtful designed with bignums/fixnums, ratios, complex numbers, etc.. The JVM has its own idea of numeric types and its operations.

Common Lisp has CLOS as a very dynamic object system with an optional meta-object system. That maps also not directly to JVM classes/objects (no full multiple inheritance, no multi-methods, no method combinations, ...).
One can implement that on top of the JVM, but it will always be slightly slower than a native Lisp implementation.

Looking at compiled code / backtraces / ... on the JVM will always look slightly alien to a Lisp programmer - some Lisp implementations have simpler stack traces, tailored for Lisp.

The positive side of the JVM is the better integration into the IT landscape, modern garbage collectors, a mature runtime with lots of users and the direct integration into Java/... software on the JVM.

If we look at Common Lisp, there is a full implementation of Common Lisp on the JVM called ABCL. That's a great achieve, but native implementations like SBCL are much faster and thus more widely used amongst CL users.

SBCL comes with the added bonus of an excellent native code compiler written in Lisp itself. I would recommend the SBCL compiler also for beginners, because it gives a lot of warnings and other information at compile-time.

Your description sounds similar to my case, although I never had any anxiety about my health. And I did have short, sharp flashes of extreme anger. But the ultimate question is up to you: Do you think you have a problem? Is it affecting your life?

I first tried psychological counseling. I also have no idea what to say to them, but that's why they are there. Tell them what you wrote here and they can ask questions to go deeper.

In my case, the counseling helped briefly; I was better for a few days after each session. But at that point I was more comfortable going to my primary doctor and asking about medication, which has helped greatly.

To my knowledge, there aren't any kind of blood tests for psychological issues.

Oh, and be very, very cautious of recommended treatments from randos on the internet. The medical folks don't really understand the machine they're working on, and they're frequently wrong, but they do know a hell of a lot more than someone who just googled 'ivermectin'.

I'm not really a bezos or amazon hater, but fact is that amazon uses an anticompetitive business model in almost every endeavor they engage in and this needs to be stopped.

I generally like amazon. They've made so many of our lives so much easier. But when they ban sellers from having lower prices on their own sites, wield regulatory agencies against competitors frivolously and things like this, it is unacceptable and this behavior needs to be strongly disincentivized.

Also, this anticompetitive stuff is counterproductive, there's a reason they've only ever sent their owner to space while spacex has sent astronauts and is working on their second gen vehicle already.
Despite "renting" my IP address from Linode for over 10 years, occasionally the IP block I'm in ends up on Google's bad side. When I'm using my VPN server, I have to _constantly_ enter captchas to do any search, and often times it's just completely blocked. I'd say it's hostile because they don't just do a captcha and mark you as a a human for the next 24 hours, it can happen with every search. MFA isn't an accurate characterization of what they're doing.
VIVA Finance | Atlanta, GA | Full-Time | Full-Stack Engineer | https://viva-finance.com

VIVA Finance is a FinTech Startup focused on building a more inclusive financial system. We offer fair and affordable personal loans to working Americans using an alternative underwriting model that is based on employment--instead of credit history. Our rates are as much as 35 times lower than traditional lenders, which has fueled extremely high customer satisfaction and explosive growth (800% year over year for Q2). We just closed on a $6.2 million Series A funding round to invest in our team, technology, and marketing to expand our footprint across the country. If you are interested in working for a high-growth startup with a strong commitment to positive social impact, we would love to talk to you!

VIVA’s Engineering team is looking to hire Full-Stack Software Engineers to help us as we continue to scale. Our website is written with Vue and Tailwind, hosted on AWS with S3 and CloudFront CDN. Our backend is written in NodeJs running on AWS Lambda and orchestrated by the Serverless Framework. We are looking for someone who is interested in working at all layers of the tech stack, be that configuring CSS on the website, adding DevOps functionality to our CICD pipeline, or updating the decision logic for our underwriting model.

If interested in applying or hearing more about the job, reach out to CEO, Jack Markwalter with a resume via email: jack@viva-finance.com

>and usually read-only access to a public repo for which you don’t have write permission is done with HTTPS.

I don't know if this is the case. I always clone with `github.com:owner/repo` remotes, because it's shorter and saves me the effort of doing things differently based on whether it's my repo or not.
Likewise. I'm running Pop!_OS on mine. When I pre-ordered, I figured there was a 50/50 chance the thing would even ship. But it shipped exactly when they said it would, and it's fantastic. I'm very impressed with Framework so far.

If the government was spending millions of dollars on ad campaigns to try to get people to use their faucet less, but they were not dealing with wasteful farmers, you may have an argument. But to say that people _shouldn't_ conserve resources just because they aren't the largest consumer of the given resource is ridiculous. Me being conscientious of how much water I waste from my faucet doesn't slow progress in dealing with the larger water wasters. There is no reason not to do it.

This only applies if you can only fix one factor at a time. That is never the case in real world, complex, societal issues. Society is not a computer science puzzle.
I disdain the owners of both but Bezos (fairly) seems to get a bit more ire here. The Verge’s piece elaborated that SpaceX hasn’t decided between two configurations and want approval for both even though they will only choose one, so everyone else has to plan around two different configurations.

I’m not sure if that’s standard procedure but it does seem a bit unfair to add double work for everyone else.
"Having a moment" is a common enough phrase and means something between "doing well right now" and "making a comeback". More importantly though:

Please don't pick the most irritating detail and then copy it into the thread to complain about it. This leads to significantly lower-quality discussion, especially when the detail is off topic. HN threads are sensitive to initial conditions, so this is particularly important when there aren't many comments yet.

One thing we're working on learning together is how to respond to the interesting parts of an article or situation and leave superficial provocations alone. Not easy, but important for curious conversation.

Please note this site guideline—the examples are different but the principle is the same: "Please don't complain about website formatting, back-button breakage, and similar annoyances. They're too common to be interesting. Exception: when the author is present. Then friendly feedback might be helpful."

I think you're underestimating the intransigence of various American political constituencies. None of those jurisdictions you mentioned would even be the largest American state, much less as large as the whole nation. In America, because of federal powers, states representing a minority of citizens can stop the federal government from doing things that seem easy and reasonable. They can also stop other states from doing those things. So, for example, if California decided to have a universal mandatory identification program, a federal department of justice that had been installed by a minority of voters from other states could sue, in federal court, to stop it. Same goes for, God forbid, address registries, that are common and unremarkable feature of almost every European jurisdiction. We don't have them here, and we will probably never have them, at least not without a revolution or constitutional reform.

If you want to know why Latvia has national ID cards and America doesn't, just imagine if there was a venue where Montenegro could sue Latvia to stop it from having them. That's the American system!

> It is not legal (and should not be legal) for people to force privately owned companies to publish speech that those companies don't want to publish.

I understand that. But that wasn't the point. Historically laptop and desktop PC CPUs have been different because of the different requirement - laptop's prioritise efficiency whereas desktop pc users prioritise performance. Apple instead has used the same CPU on their tablet, laptop and Desktop PC.

(And note that even Intel / AMD processors do the kind of power scaling that you described without any specialised low power cores - all cores are designed to run at varying speed. Thus, when a small task is executing, the core executing it runs it at the minimum acceptable speed and saves power. But the same core can run at full speed on demand. That's a more acceptable tradeoff for me for Desktop PCs, especially considering that ARM CPUs already are very efficient.)

When a bank loans 10,000 dollars, the amount is credited to a checking account. It does not have to come from somewhere else. What use would a loan be if you kept it in your checking?

Don't take my word for it, take it from the Bank of England's Quarterly Bulletin [0] "Banks create create additional broad money whenever they create a loan... it runs contrary to the view sometimes put forward that banks can only lend out deposits that they already have. In fact, Loans create deposits, not the other way around."
