Out of curiosity, how perjoratively do you use the term 'scab'? It reads of condemnation to me, which is fine if that's intended. I was just wondering if the difference in our culture (Amerimutt here) caused an incidental tone-shift.

More to the point: I've never seen a union actually benefit anyone I'm close to. The reps have all been awful and the structural incentives were all perverse. I ask, in good faith, why do you seem to imply that unions are an unqualified good? (If this is only a seeming, a bad read on my part, then I apologize; if I'm on the money, I would love to get your perspective)
Okay, I'll cede that red ones specifically carry that meaning. I thought you were claiming all 5 pointed stars as such. I still don't feel that the silhouette of a (white, 5 pointed) star created with red lines is quite the same thing. I could however, to your point, see it being interpreted that way by Fox News, who will claim that damn near anything is communist if they are against it politically.
> This article is more partisan than it is informative.

It’s partisanship (and that of similar attack pieces on Haugen across right-wing media) is informative.

Particularly, its informative of about how the party that has been crying about the need to legislatively constrain the centralized power of internet platforms really just wants the issue to complain about, and desperately wants to avoid the issue, its factual dimensions, and any potential solitions actually being on the legislative agenda.

I agree their incentive structure is at the root of this. But this is an incentive structure designed by one group of conscious actors and then followed by another group. A bunch of people choose this. And given the many years of public critique of Facebook, they can hardly be unaware of what they're choosing.

The truth is that almost anybody could sell crack. Most of us choose not to.
I don’t see how you couldn’t learn both. Terraform is dead simple to learn and cloud formation is the best way to define your infrastructure in code in AWS. Even more wrapped by CDK. I don’t think you would go that far career wise knowing only with Terraform for IaC.

I also don’t understand those organisations that use every single AWS managed solution (RDS, Redis, Elasticsearch, EKS) but then they feel the need to manage their infrastructure state themselves with Terraform instead of choosing the managed solution for this.
Terraform CDK does this, but instead for just AWS it does it for everything.
My experience is in obscure tech, my wife won't relocate, and remote-only is not a great option for me when onboarding.

I haven't seen many jobs that are interesting or even pay the same (most require a pay cut since I would be starting over). I applied to one recently, but I guess I don't have enough real Android experience.
I'm a Pony core team member. I think its quite good in the most general sense, but "is it good for your problem" is entirely different.

I think at worst, you would get something out of learning Pony (although that can take some time, it's one of the harder languages to learn).

Feel free to stop by our Zulip and chat more as folks from the Pony community are rarely on HN, but are on the Zulip all the time.

You might want to consider that the forced pull request has still not been reverted by this person. So an apology but no intention to undo a mistake? Does not sound very genuine in any way.

Also, an apology about a PR isn't this long. This is a wall of text with a few meek words inbetween.
terraform plan has the benefit of showing me whether what I did is at least internally logically consistent before making any attempts to change the state of the world. It doesn't mean things can't go wrong, but it is harder to make silly mistakes that are bound to happen when you try to inject logic into JSON or YAML which are just text.

"HealthCheck": {
"Target": {
"Fn::Join": [

Sure, the equivalent terraform would not win a beauty context either but this is just an abomination. If someone is paying me well enough, I can live with it, especially if it worked perfectly, but it doesn't. Plus, standard CloudFormation crap Amazon will push on you tends to assume a bunch of things that may or may not be true in an account that has existed for a while before a particular feature became available.
Sorry, but tl;dr? The link you posted is deep into some drama I don't know what it's referring to.

I think the addicted people still use it like you are describing (as well as looking at the feed).
Yeah I guess I’m kinda confused. I’m really shocked to see industries like “consumer electronics” at the top, because of how many times I’ve heard of EEs jumping into mundane software roles because the pay is so much higher.
I get your point, but glib and shallow climbers are exactly what you want for a company that only supposedly cares. They're very good at supposedly caring!
Terraform doesn't mean that you want the option to go with other cloud providers, it just mean that you want to treat your infrastructure the same way, regardless if it's is a cloud resource in AWS or something that AWS doesn even offer, such as email, analytics and so on. I don't know if it's still the case but AWS used to not have a rabbitmq offering.
A trillion-dollar coin is 'magical thinking'. It doesn't get past the problems of having exploding debt and no way to fix it. Otherwise known as 'Kicking the can down the road."

All of these smart-ass solutions are leading inexorably to a lack of confidence by the world in the US Dollar. When that happens, you can produce billions of these 'Trillion-Dollar Coins' and it won't make the slightest bit of difference in the 'New Zimbabwe' currency.
Bit disappointed that the Netlify Terraform provider[1] isn't supported any more, because it would solve this exact use case (and more complicated ones!) in a much less cumbersome way. I’d love to be able to point a Netlify redirect at an IP that’s output from another Terraform resource.

Yeah exactly 60 degree water will take your skin off.
I'm convinced the only way you can really convey (non trivial) information is if the people receiving the information actually ask questions. When I'm talking to business people they usually say they get it - but I know they haven't if there are no questions.

Likewise, when someone is explaining something to me I always ask a ton of questions and I'm not afraid to sound stupid. If I don't have a model in my head that allows me to ask relevant questions I know I don't get it.
You have my deep sympathy. That sounds crazy!
Bugs me when someone seemingly hyper intelligent breaks down things of technical nature that involve human psychology but completely miss the point. Value is a human construct. It is different for everyone, and almost always subjective (yes, exchanges help find objective value, but even that can be wrong). The entire crypto/NFT space is being proded from all sides as if they are final products. Diehl lacks the ability to see potential future evolutions, and instead is stuck in "today". Of course it looks scammy, because 99% of what's out there is scammy. However, the remaining 1% has potential to change to world from top to bottom and provide wealth to early adopters. The big challenge now is to sift through to find what is truly valuable long term. Risk/reward.

Taleb suffers from the same issue, which to me is more surprising since his entire legacy is built on uncertainty.
I love privacy.com for this, and I’ll never sign up for a trial or something recurring without using it again.

I signed up for a trial for another service which shall remain unnamed, and of course I couldn’t find anywhere on the site to cancel my trial once I wanted to. No problem, I just disabled the card. They’ve probably tried to bill me a dozen times since.
It was my understanding that PostgreSQL supports table sharding out of the box on a single instance but not the ability to do distribute the processing across multiple instances.
Quitting (if possible) is good advice. I stayed on a job longer than I should have, it was horrible. It was some maintenance work, with weird practices and really old code. People who wrote it were long gone.

I was miserable. I lost what little confidence I had in my coding abilities, because for months, I didn’t write any code, just doing maintenance work.

Some people adapt and they succeed in doing their tasks well, even if they are shit tasks. Most people need some amount of creativity and interest to produce anything useful.

Adapt or quit. I’d vote for quitting, but just find another job first, before quitting
But that's not a problem at all.
It still guarantees that a program compiled for RISC-V will run on this CPU.

Moreover, they have no motivation to introduce too many non standard/proprietary extensions as it would require them to add support for these new instructions in mainstream compilers, while they could - with standard extensions - take advantage of the work already done for standard extensions.

Today, a major difficulty a newcomer to the industry faces is that they have 2 options:

1 - Taking an existing ISA and paying a license fee, but benefiting from the work already done on the compiler side.

or

2 - Building their own new ISA for free, but having to do all the work on the compiler side by themselves from scratch.

With RISC-V this problem does not exist anymore which opens the door to newcomers.
The CEO first came onto my radar as a questionable individual some months ago in a thread where he was spreading FUD about former WASM engineers at Mozilla working at Fastly. Accusing them of being biased against him with very flimsy evidence. [1]

Later in that thread someone surfaced [2] the fact that the CEO had made a sockpuppet account [3] to praise his own projects.

So the OP is not surprising to me. At the same time all of the public communication I've read by the CEO has been polite so I wonder if he is just misunderstood but it's hard to say, it seems like there could also be a lot of bad things happening behind the scenes.

I don't know whether your experience is similar to mine, but I can't visualize faces at all, even of someone I have just been looking at. I have no issues recognizing people or visualizing things other than faces, so neither aphantasia nor prosopagnosia match.
I doubt it’s either of those. I can recognize a person at a distance but ask me to describe if their nose bridge is wider or narrower and I literally wouldn’t be able to tell you unless it’s significantly exaggerated.

Norway is an oil welfare state.

Mainstream media, at least in tech, have betted that digital payments will be disruptive because of the pandemic given how unsanitary cash payments are. I mean, it makes sense for people to use digital wallets instead of cash but as restrictions are now easing, we see that cash is still king in physical transactions (at least in regions where credit card usage is not common).
The electric grid is vulnerabe to widespread and long-lasting outages, and has a history of multiple such events. Texas in the current year (weather and capacity induced), Puerto Rico ongoing following Hurricane Maria in 2017, "rolling blackouts" (induced through manipulation of the energy markets) in 2000, numerous regional blackouts through transmission and distribution failures dating to the 1960s.

Major concerns are SCADA attacks against control systems themselves, or physical attacks against regional substations which could cripple distribution for weeks or months.
It does not seem like she did it as a Board member, she did it because she felt like she was still an Active Maintainer of that project. It seems like the project feels like even if she is still a Maintainer she still was wrong to merge without discussion.
For sure. Standard lines of BS don't work well on me because they're optimized for other people. But I firmly believe that for every person, there's a line of bullshit they're vulnerable to. And the people most vulnerable are the ones most sure they're too sharp to be BSed.
"And you would obsessively watch who looks at your page ..."

I used a relatively small-scale website with all this functionality before Facebook or the term "social network" existed. However regarding seeing who visits a profile, I do not remember Facebook ever allowed the user to see who was viewing their profile. Today, one can create a "page" (cf. profile) and Facebook lets one pay to promote a page. Facebook gives some very basic metrics on whether the page is getting visits, with less detail than a basic web server log. It might be interesting if Facebook allowed users to see who was accessing their profile because from what I have profiles are routinely being accessed by accounts that the user is not aware of. Facebook might seem "dead" to some folks as they do not see much activity, however there may be regular activity that they cannot see. Their data is being used by Facebook and their profile data is being accessed. Connections are being made. (As in connecting the user to other people, locations, institutions, etc.)
My First YouTube Tutorial is Out Now (React Support Chat)
I do not believe Apple will make a distinction based on corporate structure - if you support creating an account, you need to support deleting it. If you can't support deleting it, you can't support creating it in-app.

That said, I would argue that there is no Ethereum "account" - it's just a crypto key. In that sense, use on Ethereum is similar to someone using an email address to sign up for mailing lists and to post on forums.

The counter-argument is that your wallet app likely provides the interfaces to do that functionality, which makes the Ethereum blockchains a proper system under consideration.
So I build a freemium Chat development toolkit which has gotten lots of traction, but hiring YouTubers is expensive.

So I'm starting to make my own tutorials. Please tell me what you think!
correct. In my experience a focus on UB (often actually said U.B.) tends to come from the C++ community, although a lot of it trickles down to the C community as well. I can recommend watching a few talks from C++ conferences. I especially enjoyed ones by Matt Godbolt, and Miro Knejp.
The guidelines apply to creation of accounts within the app, not just anywhere online.
This comment describes me perfectly.

I would not say people are stupid. We should never assume we know why someone did something and then take action based on that assumption.

When someone cuts you off in traffic, for example, they probably did not see you or are late for an important event or their wife is in the emergency room having a baby. It probably was not personal or malicious.
None of it: we're talking about C here, and every point in the article applies to the C standard as it existed when Linus posted his message to comp.os.minux so long ago.
Yes, which is why I think deriving intentions from actions is useful in a lot of cases.
There are lots of pushes to move the fund into carbon-neutral or negative investments, which would likely grow as the fossil fuel economy swan song starts.

However, I find it a bit disingenuous to chide Norway which is doing far better than much larger countries like the UK, US or Germany in transitioning to renewables.

I am not worried for Norway (though when the North Atlantic jetbtream shifts they will likely suffer) - I'm far more worried for the poor and marginalized peoples - they will suffer far more.

It's no surprise that thought leaders are worried about climate change impacts. Some will perversely benefit (politicians who are anti-immigration will gain populartiy because climate migrations are clearly defined by US defense dept as a likely result from climate change). Others may benefit by providing mitigating solutions to climate change itself that alter economies.
Not as a counterpoint, but you'd be mad not to stick "yet" at the end of that.
I agree that sometimes some people deserve to be insulted; particularly for their own good (for instance they were carelessly doing something risky and need to be reminded to take themselves off autopilot and pay attention to what they're doing.)

But I think collateral damage may be unavoidable no matter which word you use for this. Wiktionary tells me that the word 'stupid' comes from the Latin stupidus (“struck senseless, amazed”) So, stupid didn't originate as a medical diagnosis and is ostensibly a 'safe' way to question somebody's intelligence. But I don't think it actually is; when you call somebody 'stupid' you're still framing a lack of intelligence as an undesirable trait. If somebody who earnestly does lack intelligence overhears this, they might be reminded of their own limitation and feel ashamed or inadequate because of it.

Any intelligence-impugning insult can have collateral damage, whether or not that word was originally a medical diagnosis. I think the solution to this dilemma is to be aware of who might overhear you. I avoid any intelligence-impugning insult when I'm in a room with people who are actually intellectually disabled. But if nobody like that is in the room to overhear it, then I think any of the common intelligence-impugning insults are fair game if the circumstances justify it.

my guess would be to just delete all local data, instruct the user to destroy all private keys, and consider the data delete it. I think in this situation, best effort to "delete" the data is all you can do. IN this case, if all keys are deleted, the data effectively becomes meaningless bits.
Oh my god, no they aren’t. Taxes are a tool for society to function. They can be used to discourage things, sure, but they are not a punishment in most cases. Do you consider paying for your meal at a restaurant a punishment? Give me a break.
As the head of engineering at the time that we made the decision, that had nothing to do with it, but I suppose it can't hurt.

That said, I don't think we ever got any business as a result of folks having heard of Wallaroo from any of the promotion we tried to do around technical decisions.

We did however attract interest from investors who would notice when our technical content did well on HN. It certainly didn't hurt during fundraising.

Our decision to go with Pony for the original product we were building (high performance, finance focused, stream processing) was in a large part driven by time to market. We didn't have runway to build our own high-performance runtime for the product and using Pony got us that runtime.

You can hear me talking more about the decision process here:

https://corecursive.com/055-unproven-with-sean-allen/

There was more to it than that, but the "we get a runtime that can meet our needs" was a huge, huge part of why we picked Pony. I have often told people that we didn't so much pick a language as we picked the runtime and the language came along with it. That's not really true, but it's not really wrong either.
Well, if you do "meditation" (or "do nothing") in a way that results in shutting down all thoughts except the depressive ones, then it's going to make things worse.

In that case, you might be (temporarily) better off adding some very powerful and addictive thoughts or feelings to cover up the depressive ones; I think this might be in fact one of the main uses of social media and videogames.
> When investigators contacted him anew in 1992, he suddenly died of heart failure before they could interview him.

What are you implying? If anything.
I haven't personally experienced what you describe, and I hope I don't! One thing that I have read is that you have be really careful about not making too large a pilot hole.
I'll have to check but at least half of those are for production.
> “I think if we get back to < 10 new cases per 100,000 population and < 100 deaths per day we will be in ‘good shape.’

Hmmm ... Given that known serious cases that require hospitalization plus fatal cases among the fully vaccinated are now at 9.9/100K and still rising[1], this seems hard to attain.

The self-interest of "experts" who'd otherwise not be contacted by WaPo in maintaining the public's appreciation of their crucial expertise should not be ignored.

I do not live in the US so credit card is not very common here but digital payments still failed to gain traction. Apple Pay and Google Pay are also not frequently used here even when paying for online transactions.
The whole peer pressure to join a union thing is a huge turn-off to the whole idea of unions, at least for me. Convince, don’t pressure.
I am in a generally cash-heavy location (Germany), but contactless cards (the usual German debit card also supports contactless by now) pretty much have covered the pandemic. The usual holdouts are small food places, but I've used those a lot less. And I guess during the pandemic people used delivery or pick-up-scheduling apps a lot for those, with payments online.
It's actually the same guy! The fox news video started auto-playing and they introduced their first guest as "Casebreakers head Tom Colbert, who IDed hijacker DB Cooper". So, yeah, I think based on that alone this is likely fake news.
Wow -- thank you kindly for the thorough answer. It looks like you have the reporting down to a science (given how effective that comment was and how quickly you turned it around! :).

I've seen a lot of professions where in depth reporting still requires humans in the loop, and I think that will always be the case.

There's a small hope I have that one day writing will be a bit more like programming -- as in selecting a 'class' for a structure of a section / paragraph / thesis you want to communicate, which then provides typed functions for potential inputs -> outputs, freeing up human brain cycles for more interesting ideas.
That is the fault of compilers, not the language. That thing should rise at maximum a warning. A compiler should not change the semantic of the code, even if the code relies on undefined/unspecified behavior. I don't get how someone thought that it is a good idea to silently remove apparently unreachable code.
