Visually though, it's not comparable. A reply (often long) is visible but requires reading to garner the sentiment. A grayed out comment is immediately recognizable as being "bad" and "disliked," hence why it's more powerful, and why people do it. It also requires much less effort than typing out why you disagree.
So if Linus works on Linux for his own selfish reasons, howcome Linux isn't a one-person effort that nobody else is using? And why did they pick the GPL?

It sounds to me like you're describing bad social behavior but generally altruistic motivations with good social behavior but non-altruistic motivations, and you prefer the former over the latter. Sure, thats fine.
Far Cry 6 review: A familiar return to open-world stupidity
I use RSS to follow media posts rather than people.
IANAL, but this whole section of the Big Sur license is a bit of a mess to read and understand — for example, per section 2B(i), copies of the OS downloaded from the Mac App Store by individuals may only be used for "personal, non-commercial use", and downloaded from the MAS only on computers running older versions of the OS.

In other words, for an individual (vs. a "commercial enterprise or educational institution"), both of the following appear to violate the license:

(1) Downloading Big Sur from the Mac App Store using a machine running Big Sur itself, for any purpose: the virtualization section 2B(iii) expressly excludes the term "download" from the phrase "download, install, use and run", and, while the other section 2B(i) applicable to individuals does permit downloads, it only applies to computers running Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion.

(2) Using Big Sur for any commercial purpose, e.g., working from home as an employee, or non-personal purpose, e.g., producing flyers for a school bake sale.
I'd get a lot more drawing and reading done, probably. I am an artist, and one of my favorite ways to work is to grab my laptop and go out in the park where there's no net.
As someone who spent a very solid chunk of time as hospital patient as an older kid getting to witness a lot of younger kids in the same board, anything social-ish improves things for hospitalized kids. A robot is more like a pet or teddy bear than a tablet, so not that shocking a result unless the tablet was locked to some kind of fancy tamagotchi analog.
Whenever I have to put a signature, which is rare, I tell them I don’t have a signature. Because I don’t, really, not one I’d trust not to be faked. I haven’t used a signature on a debit/credit card for 20 years and it’s never once been challenged. It’s blank.
The only ‘signatures’ I’ve provided have been on a mortgage, a marriage cert, and a passport. Because they insisted. I doubt they match.
Decades since I’ve written a check.
Maybe I’ve provided some scrawl on a bank account application? Little memory and I do a sort of Mr Messy drawing that I’d never be able to copy. I take the same approach with some online passwords since it’s easy enough to reset a Netflix password once than find it in a password app.

I loathe Facebook and am hesitant to take its side on any issue. But if you cannot be bothered to ask your "contacts" for a phone number, email address, Telegram, whatever, I don't see why it is Facebook's responsibility to ensure you have access to these people 24/7.
No...? No rational person could draw that conclusion.

Where exactly are you seeing evidence that the presence of protein A means antibodies to protein B will not be developed?
America prides itself on being the land of personal responsibility - I think the crate challenge stuff is quite dangerous and folks need to stop being idiots. But in the US people will cheer on Darwin Award candidates so that's sort of part of the culture now - doing something that harms other people is still a no-no though.

From what I remember, Chubby was one of those services that was a bit more sensitive to poor client behavior. You could cause problems for other users with poor Chubby behavior, and you could accidentally end up with code that causes a high Chubby load.
I can relate to this, super happy HOTS is working for you! Always love seeing another fan of the game, it feels criminally like a missed opportunity for Blizzard. As a chronic anxiety/depression patient, I sincerely hope this has helped you stay afloat during the trying times life for been for us lately. I'm curious, is the same therapeutic effect present in League/DOTA for you, if by chance you've played those before?
Then don't do it. Use a generic name, like f or l2. Reusing names is possible anyway, so you can name all the onetime-functions the same.
I want to run many old windows [95 - XP] applications and games. If there is a way to have minimal os emulator (at least with all dependencies of that app/game) it would be great to have it as a container for that app.

I tried setting up qemu once by downloading many images. Almost none worked with apps I wanted to run. Also I had a very hard time finding a sane qemu documentation in one place. It's wiki is very messy to go through.

So is there anything to run win 98 to win xp apps in emulator/sandbox/container easily?

IIUC, it's a civil tort.

Says who? Just because the it is characterized as a treaty under international law doesn't mean it won't be implemented as a congressional-executive agreement [0] in US law, just like virtually every other important economic treaty in the last several decades.

Simple majorities in both houses is a lot easier than 2/3 in the Senate.

Very close. Actually companies such as https://postgres.ai/ use ZFS storage to provide git-like features on top of Postgres: Using copy-on-write on the underlying ZFS, you can "fork" a new branch of your DB with all the data, instantly. Then both branches can live their lives independently.

But I don't think ZFS has the equivalent of git merge though.
Not to mention that the property taxes in TX are not charged on the price but on the assessed value. It's same in CA, I imagine, but the assessed value in CA is >= price, while in TX the price is not disclosed to the government and the assessment lags the market price by quite a lot.
True, he’s mind-bogglingly amazing. Also still probably not a helpful example to developing a sane working group or good office dynamics. He’s a unicorns unicorn.

Wouldnt the interest on the loan be greater than the taxable event?

Even with interest rates low, the prime rate is 3.25 [0]. So isn’t it worse to pay 3% interest per year than a 15-25% capital gain once? I assume Musk thinks he’ll live more than 10 years.

Yes, your landlord can rent out for a loss when the house is gaining double digit percentages per year, assuming they’re well capitalized[0]. But let’s be honest, how long can houses gain 10% per year? And how often do you really think landlords rent at a loss in such hot real estate markets?

Under less insane circumstances, a land lord who is charging less for rent than the house costs to own is going broke. As a general rule most land lords rent to make a profit, and therefore won’t charge rent below the cost of ownership.

0 - A poorly capitalized land lord will still go broke in this circumstance, since they’ll eventually fail to pay their mortgage without refinancing.
I think the screenshots disappear (instead of just going into a single column mode) on very small screens, so people looking at xmonad.org from a mobile phone may not see them. Hm, we might want to fix that, perhaps.
Then the solution is to raise the penalty for other diseases similarly severe as HIV, not lower the penalty for HIV.

Though I agree with the other comments that the risk of transmission should be taken into account (since medication, if taken, has lowered it considerably since the HIV-felony laws were passed), that's not what the law did.
That's a social issue, not a Facebook one. Interoperability is an insane ask that has absolutely no precedent, and I say that as one of the biggest FOSS enthusiasts this side of the Mississippi. There's simply no way that the United States government could force a private company's hand like that, and even if they did the fallout from that would be insane. Where do we stop with interoperability? Do all browsers need to share the same history storage format? Do all cloud storage providers need to use the same app? Do all of us need to use the same operating system, communication protocols and news outlets?

No, because we're different people. Some people are drawn to Facebook's firehose feed, and there's not really anything you can do to stop them in a free world. It's a disgusting, albeit perfectly legal exchange of goods and services. Microsoft and Apple fought long and hard to make sure consumer protection laws like that never saw the light of day.
I don't understand why this content is allowed. Without a subscription it's literally just an ad for a subscription. And I'm not going to buy a subscription for the three articles I read every month.
Disclaimer: I feel strongly about this. However, if you have a strong other opinion, then I applaud you and I'd be curious to read it. Rationally, I don't think this term matters a lot as there are better terms to describe programmers, but emotionally it's tied too much to a friend of mine and that's what makes me feel so strongly about it.

> The problem with that definition is that it tags the coveted 10x label onto the problematic cases mentioned in the article: that guy who is able to hack together POC code that he demos and passes off as the solution, but requires a whole team to fix and to rewrite and to rearchitect to get it to actually work and be production-ready and be maintainable.

As I said in another comment. I've met one 10x programmer. So I consider him to be the archetype 10x programmer since he's the only visible proof I have. We're good friends, we mostly talk about life. I sometimes see him code. Let me assure you, he is the last guy that would hack together POC code. I know this, because I'd be one of the first to do that and he gives me a lot of flack for that when I show it to him xD

I should have left out the "or" in my definition. He knows how to architect, he knows how to code, he micro-optimizes every nano, is capable of understanding how underlying ISAs are doing their thing. He knows how to reason well. At companies where he'd enter as a junior, he was immediately recognized for having better technical skills than people 10+ years their senior (note: not his social skills, those are simply normal).

They exist. And it's easy to see why 10x programmers exist. Take a bell curve of ability and you find many 10x'ers on many scales of ability.

Or would you argue that people like Einstein was not a 10x physicist, or that Euler wasn't a 10x mathematician? And there are many more that I wouldn't even know of.

10x programmer is very related to the idea of a genius, in my opinion. It's simply a subset of it.

Feel free to disagree. It's good to see other perspectives.
As someone with ADHD, the background noise of real life is really distracting to me. I need noise cancellation headphones which play no sound to really deeply focus.
Actually when I said that in comparison Rust is boring, I was only half joking. C++ is way more fun in the sense that it feels like a patchwork with surprising interactions that can get even C++ masters. C++ dev sounds like a fun job ^^
There's no getting away from politics if you live in somewhat of a swing state. My feed is full of AIPAC, conservative think-tank, and posts by the local guy who just doesn't want his property taxes on his $3 million dollar estate to go up $200/year. All of them paid for. All of them have no way of "unfollowing".

There is nothing in my follows or "likes" that would indicate that this is anything I'd be interested in. It's just as bad as the broadcast TV ads that they "disrupted:" indiscriminate, obtrusive and unwanted.
>"boycott of shipped goods"

And all those poor sailors suddenly retire and live happily ever after, NOT. Buying local is not a solution to sailors and not a solution to buyers either as so many things are simply not being made locally.

What is needed is a control. If company does things like this then countries can start issuing huge fines should any ship of said company visit the their ports. That'll teach them proper.
Bought one of these just few weeks ago. iMac G4 is peak Apple design, doesn't get much better than this.
It comes from a book whose name I can't remember. Maybe "Don't make me think." It's about UI design.

Most recent discussion of the Great Bitter Lake Association (googling seems to indicate it'd been posted on HN before - but the Ever Given's grounding made it relevant again)
I'm sorry but is this a template response? This kind of situation is a bureaucratic mess spanning an awful lot of jurisdictions. What "your representative" can possibly do to help abandoned crewmen on a ship in a forgotten port in whatever place in the world when the ships operator is a chain of shell companies to the point that's virtually impossible to pinpoint a single entity to blame. It has to be a better way.
I guess the connection is just that Rust is an up-and-coming language, so developing with it is going to get gradually easier and cheaper as the surrounding ecosystem grows to a larger scale.

Sounds good, a tax race to the bottom hurts many more counries than it helps, it's a negative sum game.

What's the previous % been so far in major western counries, anyone got a link?
I think you're in need of some further reading.

1) UN resolutions don't have any enforcement weight, which is why they're so popular with politicians who run on the statement "nothing will fundamentally change."

2) Taxes should be paid by whoever retains earnings, and in that case corporate taxes make a lot of sense. And yes, buying back your own shares to drive share values higher for current shareholders is "retaining earnings" and should be taxed at not just capital gains, but individual income levels since individual income is what such activity creates.
Then it's an armchair wannabe federal agent?

Yes pgeorgi does look and quack like that.

How can this C&D have any legal basis? This person is providing an extension that is just a piece of software for a browser. The user can choose to 'violate the terms of service' or not. But browser automation isn't something Facebook has the standing to block, I would think.

Also how do they feel about Social Book Post Manager (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/social-book-post-m...), an extension that lets people delete their Facebook history selectively (like all your video views), in bulk? This seems like a basic feature any trustworthy social media platform or technology company in general should provide. But since Facebook doesn't, someone made an extension that helps users out. Unfortunately this extension is out of date and doesn't work in 2021 because it doesn't have '2021' as an option in their date filter, and because Facebook's continual UI changes to the activity log seem to be designed to break this extension, since they certainly provide no benefits to users.

Can some hacker here who has the skills please make a tool to help lay persons clear their posts/comments/likes/etc. one by one for Facebook, Instagram, and the rest?
That's how you get orbits.

I actually did an mATX retrofit on an old PowerMac G5 tower I picked up on Craigslist for $20. Took some Dremel work, an adapter motherboard tray, a front panel conversion kit, some Noctua NF-A9 fans, uh, an SFX-L power supply and a few sliced fingers - but I'm very happy with how it turned out!

The airflow really can't be beat, it's a gorgeous case, and it's remarkably quiet.

Some exchanges have been known to blacklist addresses, because they might have to follow certain AML/ATF orders. That's also why they don't accept completely anonymous cryptocurrencies like Monero at all.

Legitimate merchants and users in bitcoin ecosystem should push back against overreaching censorship, and treat bitcoins as fungible commodity. Merchants and users shouldn't start censoring transactions themselves. If there's a problem at an exchange, it should be boycotted and forced out of business.

Also, if you're using Bitcoin with Lightning Network only, it's not possible to become associated with blacklisted addresses.
thank you for teaching me something I didn't know.

no thank you for being a teeny bit snarky about it, as if everybody obviously should already know this.

oh, and a small correction, it's not the "treaty under international law" aspect that's bothersome, it's the skirting of the treaty provisions of the US Constitution that raises eyebrows.
That seems pretty bad. They used the threat of a lawsuit to govern his use of a completely unrelated platform owned by a different firm. I'm sure the courts just love this shit, but that would only show how fundamentally unjust the courts are.

Is there something wrong with the linked extension? Is its existence contingent on FB lawyers not identifying the developer?
True. As the recent Pandora Papers showed, there are a lot of innovative people who are forced to move their meager billions from country to country in order to avoid state oppression. /s
That demand sort of tells me FB is "reaching" too much and may not have much teeth.

In the recent 2020 ruling for VAN BUREN v. UNITED STATES, Supreme Court states that:

> "An individual “exceeds authorized access” when he accesses a com- puter with authorization but then obtains information located in par- ticular areas of the computer—such as files, folders, or databases— that are off-limits to him."

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/19-783_k53l.pdf

To me this means that as long as OP's extension is only doing stuff which their authorized cookie/token etc is authorized to do, they should be fine. Also it's not the OP who's doing these actions, it's the end user who's using the extension to achieve authorized activity. So I don't see how OP's extension is in the wrong.

Only valid claim FB might have is about using trademarked data and any data collection maybe. But the end user using the extension to perform authorized actions (even if automated) should be okay imo.

Btw, link to FB's letter for those curious:

> network effects

If you're building a new social network today, it makes sense to tap into an existing social graph so you can bootstrap your network with an existing ecosystem. Michelle Lim made a great case for this in her post here:

https://www.michellelim.org/writing/into-the-fediverse/

These protocols exist today. This is a W3C recommendation as of 2018-01-23:

https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/REC-activitypub-20180123/
> And your own social network will fail because of network effects

Speak for yourself. Not everything needs to be 'planet scale', I run a few social networks and they do just fine.

And I agree with Facebook in this case, if you have someone come into your house with the sole intent of burning it down, of course you're going to kick them out. It's no different than dealing with trolls or other bad actors.
No. Like I said, I've been debating with myself over whether or not to write it up. But if I do write it up I'll post it on my blog.
This is one example.

Norvig has written a ton of kick ass programs in his career that are concise, efficient, and correct, in much less time than most programmers would require.

Furthermore, even picking your own problems can be a way to achieve > 10x productivity, as identifying useful problems to solve is also a crucial skill.

I attended a talk given by Norvig, where he frankly admitted Google picked markets to enter where they could get good quality data to train their machine learning models on (this was many years ago). Maybe lesser developers wouldn't have that insight.
Two counter-points:

First, the point of a study is to be generalizeable - that is, to apply to as many people as possible, usually other than oneself. If a particular technique applies to you, that's great! However, most people aren't you. Starting with a known general principle/technique (most people can't multitask) will, on average, put you in a better position than randomly picking someone's anecdotal evidence.

Second, there are many documented cases where self-assessment of one's own traits or capabilities is inaccurate. Performance while cognitively impaired (alcohol & sleep deprivation), assessment of skill as a novice (Dunning-Kruger), and the ability to multitask are all well-known cases of it, with many more lesser known (e.g. whether one is a "visual" or "verbal" learner[1]) - so, you should be wary about having too much self-confidence in your own capabilities, especially for something as poorly-understood as software engineering.

I really like the thiserror crate for cutting down boilerplate and you can add annotations to automatically implement From. However, if you want to handle errors with more granularity, e.g. IO errors as noted elsewhere in the discussion, then you'll need to implement From yourself.

And as others noted, .map_err(...) is slightly better than .or(...) for wrapping errors.

On the way between Hamburg and Berlin, there's an area that looks like a deserted warzone. It's where all the young people came from that moved to big cities for the better job opportunities. The people that remain are elderly / unemployed, so naturally those villages will decay. The east had quite some areas that relied on local industry and/or farming for people's income. During the unification, most industry was auctioned off to westerners, so the east took a pretty big hit, both in terms of losing company tax revenue and in terms of losing high-skilled labor.
The existing AT&T is just a zombie formed from 5 of the original 8 fragments of the old AT&T. I can’t help but wonder how many former coworkers at AT&T in 1981 where reunited in 2014 without ever having left the fragments.
