I was kinda excited when I first saw autoconf. In the "good old days" porting software that academics wanted on the local Unix box was a genuine exercise. When you see all the differences that the "configure" command comes up with it gives a little twinge of nostalgia for when even things like the version of libc available wasn't in the expected place. Trying to get stuff running on an Apollo or a DEC 3100 or a Pyramid was fascinating and frustrating at the same time.

Exactly. Transphobia often leads to trauma after getting ostracized by one's peers. I've never seen evidence of "wokeness" being nearly as nasty. You don't get bullied or singled out for not being trans.
I think the spectral signature of wokeness is that affluent white people whose knowledge of racial discrimination is at most anecdotal and second hand started treating racism as The Problem whose solution must get almost absolute priority, even at a cost of traditional civil liberties or putting other things (healthcare?) on the backburner.

It looks like a weird neurotic guilt attack that is probably counterproductive to any future common prosperity. Pushing "Latinx" on Hispanics and discriminatory quotas on Asian students is almost guaranteed to generate some weird backlash. Import of the same ideas to Europe whose racial dynamics is absolutely different (black people from Africa sail here on their own and "we"* mostly want to stop this movement, so pretty much the opposite of American slave history) is almost guaranteed to wake up some old demons.

* Of course there is not a uniform opinion on this among 400 million people, but the last five years have been spent tightening borders, not opening them, and even some lefty parties like Danish Social Democrats joined in.
If you want to go deep down the rabbit hole here, break your brain, probably ruin your career and seriously damage your ability to interact with woke culture ever again, you can listen to an interview with the author of the book, "The Transgender Industrial Complex" in which the author alleges with copious documentation that the transgender movement is complete astroturf.

He did deep research to discover where the transgender movement came from and the enormous amounts private foundations spent on astroturfing thousands of organizations, academic researchers that cite each other and cultural influencers to jumpstart the movement:

I think it's fascinating to think that our entire culture could just be made up by a bunch of mischievous billionaires fucking with us. It's like we're just cattle in the matrix being programmed from above. It almost makes the real world seem magical.

Hm, I think most users have been quite granular when it comes to what location they are searching for and they are looking for different places from where they are situated so not sure if GeoLocation would work..

But cache & pre-loading is a good idea, will look into that!
Apple does not spy on your device. They only get information about the data you agree to sending it to them by using their cloud services. It's nothing remotely close to the surveillance we are talking about here.
inodes are actual objects in the kernel. Their inode number is supposed to be such that (device, inode, generation) uniquely identifies it, but the kernel itself doesn't really care about this (as long as your filesystem is not using the inode cache, which does use the inode number as a key). The way tmpfs works is that it uses the dirent cache as it's actual data structure (forcing the refcount of all cache entries >1 means they can't be evicted); those just directly contain pointers to inode objects. File data is stored in the page cache.

While this is technically true I think one should be careful to insinuate that this is an underlying cause. I don't think most people would say the same about homosexuality for example. It's just a more elaborate way of saying "it's a phase".
I would say mindfulness is perhaps the biggest empathy amplifier, but it is reading that has the biggest empathy growth impact for me.

Reading feeds my empathy by helping me to build and maintain a broad perspective; practising mindfulness helps me to apply it.

Many say that even reading pulp fiction can help to build empathy, so you probably need not read philosophers and economists if that's deterring to you; I can't personally testify to that though because fiction doesn't really hold my interest.
> That has basically already happened on Windows and Mac and for good reason, so it's actually long overdue to happen on Linux. Apps simply cannot be expected to work with an endlessly growing matrix of user customizations.

It's genuinely sad to see that changing fonts is now considered a hack and unsupported behavior on Linux. I'm not into extreme customization or anything of that sort. I don't have any user themes installed besides Adwaita or any icon themes besides Breeze and Adwaita on my Linux desktop running the Sway window manager. But one of the things that I really like is not being forced to use ugly fonts like DejaVu or Segoe. It really is sad to know that soon, some apps on my system will not use the fonts I want them to.

You've asked me not to be cynical but these issues are what drive me to cynicism. I'm not a particular fan of using Linux but I still use it because I'm more uncomfortable with Windows and Mac. But if there's no difference between how they work and how my Linux desktop works, what's even the point? You can't expect users to maintain hard forks or patch and compile stuff.

Thanks for your time though.
> There are quite a few basic, long-promised, high-demand features they need to spend time on first, before introducing an additional half-baked feature.

I'm sure those are all features "noone needs" just like "noone needs" (quiting OP of this thread) a good tool to debug WiFi deadzones when deploying prosumer equipment like UniFi APs.

This piece is certainly not an example of "neutral objectivity".

Of course Apple can read data you have uploaded to iCloud.

Every cloud service can read the data you upload to it.

How do you think Google and Microsoft are scanning everything in your account?

What Apple cannot do is see the results of a scan that was not conducted on it's servers, since those results are encrypted with a key Apple doesn't have until the threshold of 30 images matching known kiddie porn is reached.
> It is not necessary though, simply because grammatical gender is not social gender. There are a thousand ways to conceal the gender of someone in Spanish - refer to "la persona" (always feminine, no matter if you're referring to a man), plurify (the plural will take the masculine for mixed groups), so goes on. Or even, you know, use the default grammatical masculine, like the RAE recommends? Granted the RAE is a bunch of pedants but they're spot on in this case.

I'm wondering, is it the case in Spanish as well that interrogative, negative, and indefinite personal pronouns are grammatically masculine? In those cases you have no other choice in Slavic languages, for example.
You should check out Linear. Our team momentum and velocity has been great ever since moving to this tool.

It doesn't provide the granular control or extensibility like Jira, but do try to read about their manifesto and how things should work.

What's interesting is your wireframe actually looks a lot like Basecamp, with Sprint options. At one point we were using Basecamp as well, and find Basecamp don't cater to more complicated ticketing and workflow.
“That happiness equals reality divided by expectations.”

I really like this way to put it. Lots of people, who talk about how our happiness is driven by our expectations, are politically on the right and emphasizing the idea of personal responsibility. But putting the reality into the numerator, we can also recognize that there might be systemic problems with the "reality" itself, for example social inequality or lack of inclusivity.

> I don’t know anything about this company (which people seem to not like)

Huh? Ubiquiti is one of the more popular companies for networking equiment mostly due to their pretty good WiFi equipment which gives good performance/range for relatively affordable prices.

Please don't build sentiment on loud HN hecklers - for every good product you'll see a bunch of complainers coming out of the woodwork on this site. It's pretty much a rule now that all top-level comments must be heckling on whatever horrendous crime a company did to some person.
the compiler can literally see that the `list` variable is only used to generate the `sum` variable and that the `sum` is never used.

Since the `sum` is never accessed by anyone it can be optimized away and now since the only accesser of `list` is gone it too can be optimized away.

Thus both loops most certainly CAN and SHOULD be removed from the final compiled code. Only reason Python can't do it is because it is not compiled, so it has to actually run through the code at runtime and see what happens.

This is basic static analysis and any other compiler for any other language would do this. This is literally why we have keywords like `volatile` in compiled languages.

I don't understand your first argument at all. Why wouldn't the compiler know what the standard `range()` function does? The second one only makes sense since we aren't type hinting, however that too could be reversed by analyzing the code.

If we can't trust the functions in standard library then what is the benefit of compiling the code?
Preempting downvotes, because you know your comment is not acceptable to the majority, feels like a very cynical device designed to limit that behaviour.

> Anecdotally, in the startup where I worked there was one summer in 2017 when 3 white women (a significant percent of the women in the office at the time) all suddenly came out as non-binary and asked to be called they/them. If that's not some kind of freaky bandwagon thing going on then I don't know what is.

Have you considered that they may have been talking about it privately, and decided to come out at the same time to reduce the risk of being singled out for it? I don't see how the timing implies a "bandwagon". It seems obvious that doing that together is less scary than alone.
My main concern is the faking of official statements by public figures where having those signed addresses the issue of deep fakes. Of course there has to be infrastructure in place for this and people must know that you can verify them.

If we get to a point in society where unsigned images, or images signed from a questionable source are looked at skeptically, then that alone is a step in the right direction. I don't know the final solution and I don't claim to know it, but cryptography seems like a step in the right direction.

> What we have in Wokeism is a pseudo-politics, in that, it make no material demands.

That’s because “Wokeism” doesn’t exist. Being “woke”, was never a descriptor of a politics but of the state of being aware of and engaged in social and political issues affecting a disadvantaged (originally, specifically Black American) community. It’s now morphed into a label assigned by outside group to anyone whose politics the speakers disagrees with for being too focussed, or focussed in the wrong way, on identity issues. So, yes, there is no coherent material program of Wokeism, because Wokeism isn’t a thing.

Now, within the broad mass that any user of the term labels “Wokeism”, there are many groups that have within them extensive, coherent lists of material demands,
Wow, man... Did you ever notice how "In a Gadda Da Vida" sounds a lot like "In The Garden of Eden"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulDC1w1ydLI&ab_channel=ErinS...

If I withhold the truth I will go straight to hell where I will eat not but burning hot coals and drink not but burning hot cola. Where fiery demons will punch me in the back. Where my soul will be chopped into confetti and strewn upon a parade of murderers and single mothers. Where my tongue will be torn out by ravenous birds.

Edit: I'm not mocking you: I just SWORE TO GOD that I was telling the truth! How much more sincerity and evidence do you want from me? A Wikipedia citation? ;)

>When the inebriated Ingle then played the song for Bushy, who wrote down the lyrics for him, he was slurring his words so badly that what was supposed to be "in the Garden of Eden" was interpreted by Bushy as "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida".[11][12]

And the HNer replied "How dare you mock my anti mystical view of the world?!!" and proceeded to slap the downvote button so hard that their mouse exploded into a poof of dark smoke!

Once the smoke cleared, the HNer realized their screen was also black. They hastily smacked their computer's power button, quickly realizing it had also died. A sickly black billowy puff of smoke then emanated from their once neon-lit PC case. They thought of that dumb joke from grade school about being punched so hard that their grandma felt it. Had they really done that to their PC by hitting their mouse so hard? "Impossible!" they thought, "Coincidences are ALWAYS just improbable events!"

All of a sudden the PC speaker inside the case started rattling. Then a voice echoed from it: "You kicked the Llama's ass!"

The HNer fell down on their knees. They couldn't believe that a Winamp loving entity ruled the universe. Was life a musical thing? "Things will never be the same." they muttered angrily as they downvoted yet another post by /u/carljung via their iPhone 47 Pro Max Plus Platinum Collector's Edition.
I had high hopes for Kiwi Browser but, unfortunately its text-reflow feature has been broken since forever. Yandex Browser is the only one available on Android that ticks both those 'must have' boxes for me: full support for extensions and a functional text-reflow feature --without which a huge swathe of the web is unreadable for me, due to microscopic text sizes.

I know other browsers have their own built-in ad-blockers, but I prefer to use uBlock Origin across all my devices so, when I setup a new one, I can just import my existing rules & settings, built up and tweaked over many years, rather than start from scratch.
Perhaps they need to be reminded of what happened when RSA/NSA backdoored Dual EC. Eventually a foreign power discovered it and used it for their own intentions.

Thanks for the assumption, despite me reading the linked article (I preferred the Guardian's take on the issue, from the same day[0]).

I did not watch the video on which it's based, of course, as time is finite.

GP (and to an extent, Prof Pollard) are asserting these things based on a number of assumptions -- pessimism (perhaps justified) about the callous thoughtlessness of many ersatz citizens, the current set of vaccines are all we shall have available into the future, delivery mechanisms will continue to require injections (slow, difficult, discourages some non-trivial subset of the population), and will continue to not be available to younger children.

If all those were true, then perhaps.

Happily, not all those are true.

Anyway, I was railing against the claim that 'literally everyone is going to get COVID' as an unavoidable future. I shall continue to rail.

I do find my job fulfilling.

Similarly to you I've also worked at the same place for many years now, been doing very similar things for the same customers, etc. Similar to you I've been tempted by greener pastures some place else.

However unlike you I definitely have had an impact, I know this because people have told me so, not just managers but actual users and support personnel for my product.

Like the 2 other comments above from 41209 and aprdm this is what makes my job more satisfying.

I also try to "market" my developments. By trying to document them, by sitting down with managers, with users, with new hires, and explaining them, by opening them as APIs and allowing other people to script them.

That said it's very frustrating at times since many people are stuck in their ways and some are still using the old and slow tools that were developed before I came, and I still have to support those.

How India Surveils Its Citizens
Applications where the growing list of Intel and AMD security holes are unacceptable. Secure virtualization for example.

POWER9 has a slightly lower performance that amd64 (don't know about POWER10), but that is the main value proposition.

It would be interesting though to see what would happen if security researchers got the same cheap access to these platforms as to amd64.
"That anger dollar, that's a big dollar"
DNS over HTTPS. It is a new(ish) way to do lookups that deals with the insecurity of most DNS setups (where packets are often neither signed nor encrypted) by hitting a resolver over https. Often the application will hard code the resolvers it intends on using, which leads people to believe it is adtech as it allows apps to bypass blocking by PiHole and the like. It, like most tech, can be used or abused.
Number 3 reminds me of how online messages are shared on Fromsoft games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Players leave messages with "fill in the blanks" type form and a limited set of words to choose.

It works really well and there are some genuine gems scattered throughout the games.
It's dangerous to dismiss transgenderism to be the result of psychological mishaps caused by environmental mishaps.

You're effectively presenting a transgender person as a second class person, or a mistake.

You're also aligning the ability to grow a beard with being a 1st class citizen.
A better question is how did common decency and empathy for the experience of other people get reduced to the label of "wokeness"?

Productive for whom? Children should not be seen as just workers for future, like they already have tasks ready for them to perform, to fix things their ancestors screwed up.
