The message of "violence is good" also aligns with the robotic use of "mostly peaceful" throughout the media and the strange empathy TV people had for Antifa. Your interpretation is an accurate read of the sympathy the news has for BLM and others.

A person can argue that World War II was mostly peaceful. At any point of geography, it's quite rare that artillery shells are falling or tanks rolling through. Usually it's a quiet garden spot.

The fact is, the BLM protests were mostly peaceful. They were almost entirely peaceful. But that's not how we expect the news to cover any event that includes rioting or looting. We expect the news to lock on to the most sensational parts, however insignificant, and talk endlessly about how terrible this is and how BLM organizers should feel some responsibility for this. That's what the news would've done in any other circumstance. That's what it would have done for BLM in decades past. That's what it would have done if BLM had endorsed Trump. But because of the weird and universal sympathy news producers have for BLM, the protests were covered differently.

>killing several million extra people without any forms of lockdown would have also had very serious economic repercussions

Political, too. Some heads would be bound to roll after that election cycle, in Argentina the ruling party that mishandled the economic and sanitary aspects of the campaign, lost about 30~40% of their electorate and indirectly caused the emergence of a liberal movement in a country that previously was overwhelmingly pro-welfare state.

I think the political consequences would be more of an incentive not to try this, the economic part is just a statistic.

I think the government with their gerrymandering redistricting are the one committing the most obvious of election frauds.

> although the Spanish would have recognized it as a non-Christian practice to be stamped out, surely

As an occult practice, it may have been discouraged at least, but to say "non-Christian" makes it sound like one arbitrary practice extirpating another.

Rather, the Christian view (and certainly the Catholic view) is one opposed to superstition and the occult on the grounds that superstitions are irrational and immoral and thus opposed to the good of those who engage in them[0].

It is one thing for there to exist varying customs that are more-or-less arbitrary w.r.t. the signifier (greetings, for example), but the signified is no longer arbitrary.

Note that this benchmark is dominated by Terser for minification. All tools aside from ESBuild use it.
> You actually don't need hot reload or hot module replacement. esbuild is so fast you can just reload the page and it reloads instantly.

You don’t actually need any of these tools. But HMR is useful not because build time is slow (even if it often is), but because dev/validation iteration is slow too. TDD can improve some of that, but when you’re iterating on something interactive and want to validate the experience of it (or any number of other circumstances where manual validation provides value), having your setup state preserved can mean the difference between split second validation (with fast tooling) and completely breaking flow.

Minorities (especially blacks and American Indians) are ghettoized by the status quo system, in which they do not have equal upward mobility. [0] You play a nice trick talking about immigrants (a small minority of racial and ethnic minorities) and the pretending that covers the bulk of the minority experience, but it does not.

How is this sustainable? Is the shortage of nurses a temporary, short-term issue or are there structural problems in the market? If there is a longer-term problem, how will it affect healthcare costs and the quality of patient care?

While I generally understand the value of travel nurses and the role they have historically played in the market, if I was a healthcare consumer in the US, I'd be pretty disconcerted if I knew that the healthcare systems I relied on were so desperate for nurses that they were offering travel nurses $10,000/week.

Sharing my limited experience. In any way or form I don't imply that my point of view is right. Producing software is complex process that requires constant adjustment and change.

I have successfully run my company (middle level web-shop) and delivered results for more than 16 years.
In my PM practice I never required my engineers to do "extra".
In my view this is not productive approach at all.

Creating the adequate communication channels and production processes with transparency delivers results. Defining clear rules of engagement for the teams in research, prototype and production stages removes the "need" of "extra" work or overtime.

I understand the thesis of the article, but respectfully disagree with the author. Doing extra work for yourself as an investment in being better is definitely a good thing.

But doing this in production will create misalignment and frustration within the team, and the overall net effect will not be higher quality.
When a lot of the reviews use literally the same words or phrases cut-n-paste or templates in, it’s pretty transparently a scam.

While I don't particularly like this sort of anti-cheat, I think we should all be more worried about cloud gaming than anything else. It's been obvious for a while that the big gaming companies have it in mind, and the only reason it isn't as big as it could be, is due to tech limitations FOR NOW.

When (not if) cloud gaming truly takes off, and it will, we'll lose any and all control over our games. So long to modding, so long to messing with .ini files to get settings right, no decompiling games, no games preservation... The Netflix model approach, where we don't own anything, we're 100% reliant on them to provide us with the service, where servers can (and do) get shutdown at any moment after X amount of years of support.

A world where we don't own the games, just subscription services with extra fees for XP boosters.

The ultimate live service game that so many of the big companies love.

PS: Also means no more cheating by the standard methods.
Job posts are the worst places to find jobs IMO. Most are well below average, and a lot of them have something like 200 people applying, only 5% of whom are qualified. So they have over the top descriptions as a filter, but instead it only attracts the people who don't read descriptions.

Whoever is being approached has the advantage in a negotiation, and that negotiation includes job scope.

The best source I've seen is HN's monthly thread. I spent a few hours crafting a nice post and all these amazing people came to interview me, many of whom I'd work with today if I didn't get my current job. You have to stick your neck out and try it at least twice to see results.

The second best is LinkedIn. Top companies in the country all approaching you, so you still hold an advantage. I used to politely reject 2 good interview offers/week. It was nice for my ego, all these startup founders adding you because they wanted to hire you.

Then I'd say recruiters. They're an excellent filter. The success rate is much lower (nobody wants to pay the recruiter fee) but still better than job posts. Some have specializations - lifelong jobs, juniors, veterans, mobile, remote, etc. Yes, there are dodgy ones; don't deal with them. You have to explore a bit to find good recruiters, but the payoff is still much better than parsing job sites.
I don't doubt any of that but what I don't understand is where these guys are getting all their accounts from. I feel as though if I were making a hack for a game, I'd get numerous accounts banned in the process (which means needing to buy more and more copies of the game).

A youngster getting into reverse engineering surely does not have deep enough pockets to spend several hundreds of dollars on buying the game over and over.
I agree with you 100% and think it's ridiculous that we crucify people over the past when brains are clearly capable of changing over time.

That said, I do think it's fine for companies to put a 12 month hiring ban in place for current Facebook employees. Such a move would speak to your organization's principles and hopefully make Facebook employees think about what their tenure at the company is doing to the world.

ESBuild is very unopinionated and mostly just does the right thing. Some config is available for mundane stuff. The rest it defers to plugins, rather than config. That’s where you have N+1 problems however.

I think time will prove that Gaben made the correct decision by focusing Valve’s efforts on AI anti-cheat rather than following this kernel anti-cheat trend. It might be the only hope for a viable anti-cheat in the future if hardware based cheating becomes more commonplace.

Besides that, Riot is already losing the cat and mouse game with cheating in Valorant despite their kernel anti-cheat. There are publicly available cheats which have been undetected for months. Hardware ID spoofers are commonplace as well so cheaters are able to make new accounts and go back to cheating if and when they get banned. Even if kernel anti-cheats worked perfectly, they still wouldn’t be able to detect newer hardware based cheats which run entirely on a second PC leaving nothing for a kernel level anti-cheat to detect.
> Rather, the Christian view (and certainly the Catholic view) is one opposed to superstition and the occult on the grounds that superstitions are irrational and immoral and thus opposed to the good of those who engage in them.

As a Catholic, even I recognize that essentially the entirety of Catholic practice is superstition from the perspective of anyone who doesn't either take Catholicism as a priori true on authority or (arguably equivalently) have a personal divine experience justifying Catholicism experientially.

If one is not Catholic to start with, it as easy to dismiss Catholic practice on the same argument as presented above against superstition as it is for Catholics to do so for non-Catholic superstitions.

I think the observation is great but the implication of causality is the wrong way around..

People who get enjoyment from their programming job will like to Do Extra as they probably also get enjoyment from new tech, extending themselves, etc etc.

People who don't get enjoyment from their programming job won't get enjoyment from Doing Extra, so they won't naturally do it.

Telling one of the latter to Do Extra probably won't turn them into someone who gets enjoyment from a programming job.
Grow on Twitter Together
Hi everyone! Twitter is a great way to build a supportive community and acquire potential users. In the past couple of months, I have been trying to grow on Twitter as part of my startup/indie hacking journey.

One thing I notice is that I had better results when I consistently show up on Twitter, tweeting or making comments under people's tweets. When I first started on Twitter it was difficult. It was hard to find tweets to respond to. To be honest, it is still hard nowadays. Sometimes I get too lazy looking for things to comment on.

As a way to solve that and help those of us that want to grow on Twitter, I am starting a free daily newsletter. I will send you three tweets to respond to. I'm already doing this for my cofounder via email and she's been enjoying it so far. so I thought I open up this project to everyone who wants to grow on Twitter. It is probably more helpful if you are on a small personal account, trying to grow your followers.

The tweets will be entrepreneurship/start-up orientated at the beginning. If there are many folks interested, I will send out surveys to get ideas from you about additional topics of interest.

if you are interested, you can sign up here:

That’s because in a lot of cases they are no longer liberal despite using that word to describe themselves. What many are nowadays is damned scary intolerant authoritarian leftists hell bent on destroying the liberal values that a lot of us have been fighting for decades to achieve.
My experience learning programming languages (starting in grade school):

1980. BASIC (AppleSoft an TRS-80, but later DEC, Waterloo and QBASIC added to the mix)

1982. 6502 Assembler

1982. Pascal (this became my primary high-level programming language in 1986–1992)

1984. C

1985. Rexx (still the best scripting language I've worked with)

1985. FORTRAN

1986. TeX (programming in a macro-expansion language is it's own bizarro world)

1987. PostScript (the joys of coding in a stack-based Forth derivative)

1988. Modula-2

1988. Metafont (Another Knuth macro-expansion language, but one with fewer quirks than TeX)

1994. C++ (it didn't really click until STL came on the scene, there were some awful C++ books published in the 90s)

1995. Perl

1997. Java

1999. PHP

1999. JavaScript

2007. Ruby (I had a diversion from 2002–2006 where I tried to leave programming behind for mathematics)

2009. Groovy

2009. Erlang

2009. Scala

2011. Objective C

2016. Swift

2018. Kotlin

2018. Clojure

2021. Rust

I'm by no means an expert in all of these languages (I can really only claim current competency in the JVM languages these days, although my Rust is getting better and JavaScript is not so much a language anymore as it is a foundation for other languages built on top of it through the various libraries), but I do think that BASIC and Pascal still great languages for beginning programmers, although it's hard to go from, say, UCSD Pascal to dealing with OOP or FP which are the dominant paradigms of development these days.

It's also somewhat interesting to see that my picking up new languages tended to come in clumps, with things piling on fairly quickly after my return to programming work in 2006.
I don't see how you could have possibly come to that conclusion. At all. Superstition and the occult have always been condemned by the Church as irrational and immoral[0]. This sounds like one of those vague anti-Christian sentiments from the Enlightenment that somehow remains fashionable to this day.

In spirit, modern science is closer to the occult in the sense that mastery over nature is a major motivation for its pursuit.
