Because Reddit and Facebook really aren't all that similar.

Facebook is like the "book club" that is really a front for gossiping and drinking. You probably know the people you're talking to personally and it's more a conversation with them (that other people might be able to see).

Reddit is like a community message board. You don't know these people personally, so you get an inbuilt skepticism to what they say. It's mainly about sharing links to somewhere else and you can interact with it without reading anyone's comments.

Social media as an umbrella term really doesn't work because Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, etc all have different ways you interact with them. It would be like saying network TV, the newspaper, the community message board and a guy with a megaphone on the corner are all the same.

Pictures of so many firearms would definitely make me think this guy is eccentric at best and dangerous at worst. Combined with the articles suggesting "taxes are theft" and that latin quote on the instagram I'd not be enthusiastic about sending business their way.

EDIT: I wanted to add that it's also the type of guns in these pics (surrounding a post of only the word "disobey")- these aren't hunting rifles but guns that are more commonly used on people (AR-15, pistols). That doesn't look like someone about to go deer hunting.

Something in defense of the parents: they were there for their kid, both of them. And they both wanted to protect him and make sure he had a good experience. Many kids don’t even have something close to that.

Their attempt might have failed, but not for lack of good intentions and putting in the effort.

I think most parents can relate to the fact that parenting is basically being thrown in front of the wolves, and then making every mistake you can imagine in front of everyone to see. All the while having to meet societies expectations and having to endure its judgement.

It’s not easy, and we should not be harsh on anyone who makes an effort, gives it an honest shot and tries to learn from their mistakes.
> We can see this clearly in another recent example, this time from Finland in 2018. There, the conservative government was preparing to pass a law that would make it easier for employers with 20 or fewer employees to fire workers.

Striking in such a situation is somewhat in the interest of any company larger than 20 employees for sake of competition. In which case it would not be a sympathy strike anymore. (As in, one cannot fully know their motivation)

Loud fans and hot temps are fine for me, in isolation. But knowing those hot temps (and to a degree those loud fans) are slowly killing my laptop, and likely very quickly killing my battery, much faster than you'd imagine, yeh, it suddenly becomes a bigger priority.

For me, I've never found a laptop as good as the older thinkpads at handling temps.

Well then we agree I guess... I'm not impressed. :D
I am a parent, and honestly you just have to read the individual kid. Just like people of any age, kids react to things in their own ways. Some kids will get pissed if you downplay their getting hurt, others will react with horror if you play it up, some will just deal with it by themselves regardless of how you act. The best way to parent isn't to follow some preset rules, but to try to understand your child for who they are. And then be easy on yourself, because whatever you do, many times it'll be not quite right anyway!

What is modern journalism’s obsession with putting “quietly“ in the headline of everything they weren’t explicitly informed of in advance? They seem to use it to imply some kind of deceitfulness, when usually it means they actually just had to do their job and investigate a little bit.
Obviously this is a personal preference, but I prefer Rust for web services. And so I have a question - do you have experience in writing web services with Go and/or Rust? I'm often wondering what do people miss when writing Rust based web services.

Recently I even gave a shot to a todo-backend[1] implementation in Rust[2] and it honestly doesn't look that different from the Go versions.

Granted the todo-backend spec is very very simple. I would prefer to also include stuff like authentication/authorization and maybe even multi tenancy to compare better. But when I'm writing this kind of Rust code I'm often wondering - what makes Rust so unergonomic for other people?

> It's not that they write code faster. It's that they select a path to the solution that is a lot shorter.

I know a developer who likes portraying himself as a kind of 10x.

He does not code faster, better, or smarter. His talent is managing his supervisor's expectations. He massages management to revise goals and shave off requirements, he is able to leverage even the smallest bump on the project management road to remove requirements and justify delays, and in the process he is able to put together a MVP that meets a fraction of the initial requirements and in spite of barely working does meet his manager's acceptance bar.

In the end all that is left is the story where he single-handedly delivered a working product, he moves onward to greener pastures, and an unwitting team is left with the architectural problems, myriads of bugs, missing features, and the blame for stuff failing to work in production.
ML really needs specification tests.

When you reach the top of the App Store you develop a new set of problems. One of those problems is copy cat developers who basically just copy app ideas in the hopes of stealing some of your users. It started with my users reporting about bugs that didn’t make any sense with odd screenshots and non-existent features. I look into it and the fake version of my app with almost an identical app icon, app name and with my name as the author. Apple was basically useless when trying to help me resolve this issue as it was a violation of my trademark. The only thing Apple can do is put you in contact with the email addresses registered to the other developers account. One day, my wife received a threatening phone call. How they got my wife’s number I have no clue. The other person on the phone call said I stole their Minecraft skin app. I told them it wasn’t me and that the same people stole my app, my name and about 30 other apps including theirs. Well these other developers didn’t believe me so they copied my app and tried to steal my users. How do I know this? Well they setup a new LLC to steal my app idea. I wouldn’t have found this out if they had not forgotten to change the name of the business in the privacy policy they copied from their original business name they contacted me at. Their new business that stole my app had some guy who pretended to be a lawyer but when I googled his name and saw his LinkedIn account he also worked at the original company that contacted my wife. That’s the short of it. Basically I caught them red handed, presented all my evidence to Apple and they were handled and pulled down the copy of my app. All the while, the people that stole both of our apps operated unhindered. Apple did nothing with that particular case that I could remember. I wish I was making this all up but it pushed me into some deep suicidal ideation because at the time I was dealing with PTSD from military service and my father passing away. 2017 was rough.
To such a vague question, the only answer can be "less than 1MB at a time". Not terribly useful.
Back in 2000 or so, it seemed a status symbol of how many RSA tokens you had on your keychain. The more you had, the more important systems you had access too.

Don't forget that PayPal's original idea was a Palm Pilot app that replaced all those pesky hardware tokens.
VSS is great indeed. Very useful to eg. P2V a machine live, even saving the P2V image on the same drive.

But VSS, like LVM or other snapshoting FS, requires dedicated FS support. You don't have VSS on FAT32. Here, blktrace works at block device level, so does not rely on any FS support.
That's correct. I switched from iOS to Android, which means it still affects me as a now-Android user.

The difference with blockchains is (depending on how it is set up) that illegal content can't be removed, as it is needed to validate the blockchain (it might be OK in this case).

While I don't think it's yet come up in court, if I was on a jury where someone's defense for keeping and distributing illegal material was "we need it so we can verify our blockchain", I wouldn't accept that argument.
If you've degoogled your life and don't depend on many apps, it can be a good option. I couldn't stick with Ubuntu Touch though because it has no integration with Nextcloud.

I switched to /e/, which works seamlessly with their Nextcloud back end, or in my case, my own self-hosted instance.

> Are pictures of guns offensive outside of the US?

I'm not sure about offensive, but as a UK citizen I mostly associate guns with crime and violence. I don't know anyone who publicly owns a gun. For the most part police don't have guns here. Typically the only time I see a gun is when I go to the airport (airport security police do have guns).

I'm aware of how cultural norms are different in the US, and as such the owners being into guns certainly wouldn't stop me interacting with a business. But it might well make me question their political/moral judgements.
It should be stated clearly and unequivocally that Xiaomi phones cannot be trusted. They have been known to track your usage of their devices and send it back to their servers, including what you see in incognito tabs of their bundled browser. To see your local files or downloads on your phone you need to accept a ToS and a Privacy Policy, because of course they're sending that information back to the mothership too. Do not fall for Xiaomi's low prices - you are paying with your data instead.

For me its not about attention span, people come to see what others (with similar mindsets) think about something. Especially if I'm just casually browsing stuff and avoiding work. When there is an article that I am genuinely interested in, I'll read it entirely.

There was some blog post article about The Framework laptop yesterday. I never heard of this laptop. I honestly thought web framework for some reason. Anyhow I clicked into the post, scanned and realized it was an actual company. Opened a tab to go see what they had and then returned to the comments to see what others thought. I have no idea what the linked article's opinion was about it.

I can scan through hundreds of comments on HN and get a better idea about some topic/product much faster than just one person's thoughts.

There's so much more state than just the encryption keys - e.g. Without a central source of state, you need to sync mutations to the state - actions like sends and deletes need to be communicated across devices. Suddenly you're in the field of distributed systems, which is a complex field.

Except the platform is JavaScript, and TypeScript is basically Web IDL aware compiler on steroids, no need to use anything that adds even more layers.
I’m curious whether things like this ever lead to the state declaring: “we’ve had enough of you, your company and product must be dissolved (not sold) and be no more”. Or whether they’ve ever used genuinely massive fines to deliberately achieve almost this effect. I imagine the number of employees that would be displaced would make this a hard sell politically quite apart from the matter of whether they can actually do it.
> Test features, not units (the time spent vs time saved is meh).

Might I add that testing for security should be a priority. Some agile shops move so fast because they aren’t worried about small bugs. All security issues are bugs and often they are ones that aren’t along normal feature usage.

I like (well, maybe the wrong word) the one video that was made for the leadership only, and has an image of a couple of guys walking down a street near a nuclear test site. The narrator says something like: “These people think they are safe because they’re far enough from the test site. They will soon learn the error of their ways.” They’re then promptly bowled over when the blast front hits (or ripped to shreds, the video doesn’t say).

I keep wondering if it was deliberate or just a “happy little accident”.

I have used a few js engines in the past (nashorn, rhino, otto) and all had problems with missing edge cases in the APIs or really weird quirks in the interop with the host environment.

rhino for example has extensive gaps:

I really wish websites would stop using single-letter hotkeys. I regularly accidentally mute people on Twitter because the mute hotkey is in the position where my fingers naturally rest when using a trackpoint for scrolling.

You are of course encouraged to start reading the news if you have a voracious appetite for learning. In short though, they take everything they can from you and sell it to everyone willing to buy. This gives them an incentive to have you "engage" with content, of which some is actively harmful (but ostensibly encouraged because Facebook wants the effects that such content has).

Did your agile consultant go over outcome over output?

It basically drives home that doing work for the sake of work isn't useful. It's only useful if it's something that produces a desired outcome where that outcome is usually a service or features that customers actually want, but it also bleeds into doing technical things that indirectly let you meet customer requirements faster like having good test coverage, a good release process, etc..

That's extrapolating from the future distancing from nature and sterilization and abstraction imposed over life.

It's also possible that people in the future will get their meat if and when they find it, and fight like crazy to secure it, under more dystopian conditions. If they're not lucky, there will always be ground worms and bugs, seaweeds, and Soylent Green.

Or the population has stabilized quite lower, after climate change impact, famines, wars, water conflicts, etc., and the rest can grow and eat their meat in a more sustainable way...
