> I feel like the last year of 'quarantine' for most of the Western world has made people more comfortable with authoritarian governments and actions.

Half of the US is up in arms about it, for better or worse. I think you'd have a hard time imposing anything on the US.

The other half doesn't think immunizations are authoritarian, just science.

Maybe 1% of the loud and attention grabbing people on either side of the isle wants to impose things on the other just for the sake of imposing them.

So not exactly.
That's why it makes sense to own classical music rather than rely on a streaming service that will change, come and go (like in this case). In my case I listen to a lot of opera, I have one or two reference recordings for each opera, and I exclude the recitative which aren't really music or interesting when you just listen.
Hope FreeBSD kernel update their SMB code to a v2, almost.
You don't need to ruminate on things like this but there is a lot of value in keeping a light dev journal of sorts about what you have done and the results.

Makes it way easier in interviews or ever just in a normal performance review where you can refer back to things.
I’ve found Ray Dalio to have some of the most interesting takes on this subject. [1] [2] [3] He’s the (retired) founder of the world’s largest hedge fund and he tries to examine these topics through economic and historical lenses, which seems like as good an approach as any.

He also explains a lot of macroeconomic material in a way that isn’t very jargon heavy (which can sometimes be hard to find, at least for the schools of thought popular among people who do it professionally).

The ivory tower, academic egghead activists were elected by their own kind (ivory tower, egghead activists) via social media and mass media. Like most things related to minorities, it doesn’t matter what the actual minorities want (they’re brainwashed and have “internalized” their status or whatever) but rather what the majority can get using the minority group as a tool. In this case, it’s budgetary control via so-called police reform/defunding.
It's interesting but not insightful. Anyway, I would find more conducive to stop talking nonsense about collapses and focus on the many technologies that are being developed.

We got a million times better at creating vaccines. AIDS vaccine is on the way. Clean technologies are growing exponentially and a future of clean-air cities is approaching fast. Working from home thru video conferences, I saw that in sci-fi when I was a kid, is a day to day reality.

We should be building a better future instead of focusing on extremist views of the world. It was fun to read, it would make no sense to give it too much weight.

This is a sign that the interview questions aren't there to actually assess technical ability, but are geared towards excluding anyone who hasn't travelled in the right circles. The employer isn't looking for someone skilled, they are looking for someone who is pre-filtered to think a certain way and know certain things.

We ALSO shouldn't ignore that behind the black murder rate is a pre-defund-the-police failure of the police, as a whole, to prioritize crimes against black victims in the same way they do against white victims.

"Get rid of police" can be a naive reaction to the newly-enabled broader exposure of police racism (violently racist cops are no new surprise to minorities!) at the same time as "actually, the police are good" can be a naive counter-reaction.

(And there are some very good ideas in the details of the general "defund" proposals - sending non-lethally-armed responders to handle non-violent interactions or traffic stops, say, is a good way to avoid needless escalation into someone's death, while in no way requiring us to get rid of cops that would investigate shootings.)
It depends on what kind of data is important for you.

In my Linux file systems (and also in my FreeBSD file systems), extended attributes are very important for me.

The older NFS versions (v2, v3 and early v4, before Linux 5.9) do not support extended attributes, so I was always forced to use Samba shares, which for me worked OK, including with the sharing between Linux and FreeBSD.
You should write for Grey's Anatomy. That sounds like one of their ridiculous plot lines.
I think the insider knowledge doesn't really help that much. In the play, he never shows up. So even with the knowledge of where the name comes from, a valid interpretation would be that people waiting for Godot to be ready are wasting their time and should go do something else.

I would bet money there is going to be a huge surge in single player games. Kids will play video games and companies want to make money.
I hear what you are saying, I think the part that is stuck in my craw is how it doesn't appear to be consistent with any other beliefs. Seatbelt and consumption laws are probably the most obvious comparisons, of due to how politicized the issues is we can add abortion. Invoking bodily autonomy for one issue, but ignoring it or actively suppressing it for other issues makes it seem like the real fundamental belief has nothing to do with bodily autonomy.
> This is without prejudice to the possibility for member states to lift the temporary restriction on non-essential travel to the EU for fully vaccinated travellers.

I already have a trip planned to a Shengen country, planned months in advance. Everything is already paid for. I am also vaccinated fully (with certificate). Am I going to be allowed on my vacation next week?
>Cattle production in the US is something like 20% greater than Brazil, the next highest producer according to the first source[1] I found, producing literally 1/5 of the world's total beef.

That's not really surprising when US has 2.26x the arable land of brazil. If you normalize for that, brazil is actually 84% more intensive than the US. The European union is even more intensive.

I briefly hit a period right around when I bought a home that the recommended ads on instagram were really really good. I bought a bed and a sofa from instagram recommendations, and looked at a whole bunch of other things that I didn't end up buying.

Nowadays it's back to being garbage, but I have to imagine every now and then these algorithms hit a gold mine like they did with me.
Do you have sources supporting your statements? They may sound common sense to you, but there is considerable ongoing scientific inquiry into people’s attitudes today, their sense of responsibility, and their sense of agency. Maybe you’re right, but I would go to the effort of reviewing the research and giving links before making assertions.

In civil engineering circles, it is well understood that there are many measures that can reduce "natural" speeds, like "The number of street parking bays is being halved and ... Cycle lanes have increased and streets are being redesigned to make districts more pedestrian friendly," from the linked article.

I'm not sure how you got the wrong idea that this is "[c]hanging a bunch of signs," especially since HN guidelines suggest I assume you read the linked article.
Other people I know have. Quite a few have leveraged their contributions to the D language into a much higher paying job than they had before.
Perhaps because we've all seen firsthand the reckless social irresponsibility of a massive segment of the population.

Faced with this, it's not surprising to me that many people would see a more authoritarian government to be preferable to a laissez faire approach that requires the vast majority of individuals to make reasonably good choices for the collective and understand the wider implications of their behavior.

It would be ironic if the right wing shrieking for 'freedom' ends up backlashing on all of us because they've simultaneously demonstrated that we're not mature enough to handle that level of freedom.

Please tell me what shared cultural heritage a white boy from a trailer park in eastern Kentucky has with a white boy growing up in Park Slope, Brooklyn, or Cambridge, Mass?

They don't speak the same dialect, they have ancestors which came from completely different cultures in Europe, they don't vote the same, and one of them's death is ignored by the media if he overdoses on Oxycontin.

The GPL was always meant to ensure that the user had the freedom to change and use their software any way they like; v3 just clarified that you can't give users the code but then prevent them from actually running modified versions. By your logic, devs are "limited" by GPLv2 because they can't possibly bear having to expose their own proprietary code.
I wonder if this will encourage a renaissance in China of LAN play, more P2P protocols for online gaming, and informal game servers run by people you know (rather than the game publisher).

But there is an appreciable difference between "if you can hear them, they've already found you", and "if you can hear them, they might never find you because you can see them looking from farther away than they can see, and they might just be outright searching the wrong area".

All my arguments went to the latter kind of problem, not the former. Your 40 seconds number seems to be based on the speed of signal propagation, not the range at which things can be detected.

Even in the event where they do find you, the arguments I gave would suggest that it would take vastly longer than the speed of signal propogation to do so, because they would have to move closer to you. Giving you substantially more notice than 40 seconds.
I've done two technical interviews this summer. The first one was shakey, the second went really well, but ultimately both places moved on with another candidate. It's definitely a skill and learning to not get so nervous about them helps a ton. I went from grad school physics to my first data science job and I'm trying to further transition into ML engineer type roles. My biggest insecurity is not knowing the comp sci 101 basics, since my programming was self taught along the way (learning what I had to learn for my thesis research simulations and then whatever else I learned in my first 2.5 years as a data scientist). I long for the day that I have enough experience under my belt that I'm a ML unicorn and companies view me as highly desirable, but I probably got many more years of grinding til I reach that point.
Covid: Delta variant patients twice as likely to need hospital care
Similarly I recently switched the other way. I recommend Lightroom over Capture One. The subscription is a slight downside, but Capture One is similarly expensive if you want to keep up with the latest version, I know you don't have to, but if you do it is expensive.

Moreover Capture One is missing some features which Lightroom has: The ability to filter collections based on their name. A shortcut for 'increase/decrease rating'. Filter photos for 'x stars and higher'. Show all images in a folder, including those in subalbums/subfolders. Being able to mark photos with a 'Reject' flag/rating (and easily hiding, not removing, those).
The license already has preconditions. That's part of the problem.

To determine whether there is a violation (copyright or anything), it first requires to determine whether the conditions are respected, which first requires to determine what are the conditions, which first requires to interpret the entire contract to determine the obligations and conditions and everything on both parties.

In software terms, you've got a deadlock, can't consider copyright without considering the contract. (This plays really poorly in practice with these being different claims going to different courts).
Diamonds do have significant markup depending on where it is purchased but they do still have some value. As long as the buyer can verify the certificate and the diamond is of significant quality, size, clarity, etc. it still retains value. A gemstone buyer may offer less than a private buyer (just like with cars) because they are in the business of selling the diamond later for a profit. Obviously, there is artificial inflation from the manufacturers but everyone else still has to play in the inflated market.

As for gold jewelry, this can swing both ways. An intricate piece with some sort of history attached may fetch a higher price from a buyer that is interested in that versus a scrap buyer that will just melt it down.

Similar analogies can be found with cars. A factory stock 1996 VW Golf will only be worth slightly higher than scrap value. Meanwhile, a 1996 VW Golf Harlequin will be worth $8-9k, its the same car but with a different factory paintjob. Effectively no difference in manufacturing costs since it was just made from different stock-painted panels but worth way more to a buyer simply due to the history and rarity. The cars both still have the same scrap value, a junkyard would buy both of them for the same price.
There is no “alt-right”; they’re just the far right. “Alt-right” was just cool new branding for the same ethnonationalist crap that’s always been around.
My Facebook ads are well targeted: I've bought tickets to a book signing for my daughter's favorite author, and awesome map, a couch (!!), and a great pair of underwear off fb ads. I'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting.

You could imagine an alternate world where FB has total information about my online activity, and the ads are extremely useful because they know what I want before I do.
There is also the value of the skills being learned. Learning about extended memory may have been of value to some people in the day, but it had negligible value a decade later. It may have launched a few careers, but it did not have lasting value. Learning how to create batch files had more value since those skills were transferable to similar domains (e.g. Unix administration and software development).

That being said, people rarely discuss technical skills as a benefit of gaming. Things like resource management are more often brought up. Maybe there's some benefit to games in that respect, but I suspect most people learn about resource management within the context of games and very little of that is transferable to the real world.

This isn't to say I'm opposed to using games for education. I have certainly taught concepts in mathematics using Minecraft. Yet it does take a higher level of awareness of what you are trying to learn (or teach) than going through the mechanics of playing.
They are also pressure fitted onto the axles. They are not bolted or otherwise fixed. The only thing which keeps them on the train is friction and the rail itself.

I was on a commuter train which derailed because it LOST a wheel. I don't understand why they aren't at least locked in mechanically. That wheel went rolling at 80MPH and blasted straight through trees near the tracks.
Any reason why you'd rather not specify these two. I don't think that's enough information to personally identify you.
That link seems to be behind a paywall for me, although the article is available at the link below:

It seems to me like the monetisation of news is totally broken at the moment. I don't want to sign up to a £120/yr subscription just to read a single article, however would pay for unfettered and ad-free access to all newspapers. Apple News might go some way towards this, but not enough providers seem to be signed up yet.

It seems like music or films pre-Spotify and pre-Netflix, and I hope someone manages to create a startup in this space that can finally give the newspapers of another revenue model that works (and convince them to swap to it). Apple News goes somewhere towards this, but it still seems like there is a gap that could be closed.
Not necessarily. The number of COVID infection cases related to new variants among the vaccinated population is increasing. That's why I'm back to wearing a mask again.

If everyone had been vaccinated as soon as the vaccine was available to them, and were using good mask and hand-washing hygiene, it might not have come to this.
I was about to reply with something opposing your thought and then realized other countries don't have an age limit and they don't have a billion underage kids dying of alcohol. If anything that probably happens more in the states where there is an age limit.

Yeaahhh, as interesting (and mildly funny) as it is, this a very online taxonomy.

Don't really care much for it.
But Cottage-core is in the aesthetic section, not the pessimist section. I also know quite a few people with this general perspective and I don't think any of them would use that label. (To reference another comment; this seems like a Very Online label)

Ultimately this perspective doesn't neatly fit into any of the pidgeonholes the author has created. This is a problem with trying to categorize large numbers of humans into sequential, unrelated categories.
Can confirm. I had two jobs in the past which could be considered embedded development, and got both of them after casual (but technical) chats. The first one converted to employment after a 6 month trial period as a contractor. No whiteboard hazing, no leetcode, no take-home "challenges". And the average age at both shops definitely skewed older.

I also got the impression that there weren't a huge torrent of engineers with assembly and JTAG debugging experience banging down their doors, which probably helps.
Ask HN: Does your company have a software architecture team? What do they do?
Hi! I’ve been reading HN for a while now, but this is the first time I’ve ever posted.

I have been doing some limited research recently, spurred on mostly out of curiosity, about how different companies approach software architecture teams and their philosophies behind them. Such as, the decision whether to have a team or not, how big the team is, what the team’s roles and responsibilities are within a company, etc.

From what I’ve found and from my own personal experience it seems that there is a strong correlation between software architects and software architecture teams and the way a company has organized their systems. This seems to support Conway’s Law[1].

In companies where the product or service was monolithic there was either one or relatively few software architects who mostly retained the broad strokes of the system in memory and act as a deciding factor in what and how features will be structured, engineered, etc. In these situations a software architect has more direct control over the software being built. It also doesn’t seem to scale as well.

In companies where the product is distributed, or divided into different domains or micro services, there is either no software architecture team or—like the company I’m at now—an architecture team that has a less well defined role. For instance, at the company I’m and and whose architecture team I’m a member of we have historically taken responsibility for defining how those services interface and communicate with one another and the other “interstitial” spaces between those services. Each team that owns one or more services is better versed in their service architectures than any one of us on the software architecture team could ever be.

The role and responsibilities of the software architecture team that I’m on today have never felt particularly well defined. I’m OK with ambiguity, but I’ve begun wondering recently how other organizations approach this space.

Does you company have a software architecture team? If so I’d love to learn more about how you operate. If you don’t have a software architecture team, I am equally—and maybe even more so—interested in why?

We made the interview process very simple and traditional in our current organisation. 30 minute chat, judge whether the person can do the job or is a good fit, if yes then offer a year contract with 1-3 months of evaluation period. Changing a job is risky also from the candidate's perspective so if the person is pretending, the lies will catch up. Most of the scenario it has worked pretty well.

Sometimes, people who you think are not capable to do the job, often outperform expectations too. It is all about taking a risk on a person and giving them respect and a chance. We could have done leetcode, or pair programming session. It takes more energy and effort to do it from both sides and probability of finding a good candidate is more or less the same.
