What an idiotic comment. Not liking and making rape jokes = "lacking social awareness"?

The fact that somebody would act different if they grew up in a different environment isn't an argument for anything. If I grew up in Jim Crow era America, my likelihood of being a segregationist is increased which proves nothing about the virtue of that belief.

Also, "baby burning jokes" are exclusively funny to 14 year olds and the perpetually adolescent mind. They're not considered the height of comedy in any mainstream circle.

Is requiring life insurance something that is common for buying a house? As someone who just bought a house I was never asked if I have life insurance.
You fail to see this because they don't :)

They say that the history of making such jokes makes the accusations more weight, which is a reasonable thing to say. We are not putting someone behind the bars for making a joke.
> There are way too many 15 minute videos along the lines of "How to do X in Y" which should be 30 seconds long.

This is why I stopped using YouTube a few years ago and heavily prefer text+image tutorials to videos nowadays. YouTube is pushing longer videos, because they show you more ads in the middle of them and creators are also rewarded with more money for longer videos + they can insert their "sponsor messages" a.k.a. even more ads.
If what the author discovered is true - i.e. he didn't do any mistake, the results should hold true for any modern ARM core, not just for M1.
Gas infrastructure is few underground barrels. That’s no brainer. My house had this 20 years ago for diesel heating. Many houses still have this with up to 8000 liters diesel in basement. I have basement with weird height just for storing diesel tanks. Now they are gone, basement is useless. For electricity you need miles of thick copper cabling. And as a bonus grid needs to be managed to avoid blackouts and other issues.

I feel like this has just been a casino built with entertainment and memes from the last 10 years. No one wants the old school casino experience of smoke-filled rooms, classic table games, and shows any more. We just want to buy random tokens with questionable value, see a Shiba Inu dog show, and walk past a bunch of TV walls with Twitch streamers talking about how they got rich with some new coin on the way to buy legal weed.

The whole movement is really good at making you feel dumb for following safe and conservative career advice like "do something practical, save your money, and retire eventually (maybe)". Why sit through yet another technical interview when you could just buy the right stock/cryptocoin?

True, I own those, but when switched off it's not ANC. Like OP, I'm interested in seeing if something can match ANC, like in the AirPods Pro, but without a battery at all.
The idea of my tool is not really to help in some specific way of processing logs, but rather to make it easier to fiddle with grep and other Linux CLI filtering tools, by shortening the feedback loop vs. normal shell REPL. I'm not sure if that sounds in any way clear; also, it might sound strange that shell REPL is IMO too slow, or that it is in any way important, but I found it enough so that I invented a way to speed it up, and it seemed to hit a nerve of quite many people, seeing from the reception the tool got. I can try to explain more if you are interested and/or don't really understand what I might be even talking about. I tried to explain it in the readme, but for many reasons I have no slightest freaking idea to what extent it might sound understandable to you - not the least due to the fact, that for fully-sighted people one important way I tried to convey the idea is through an animated gif of a terminal window showing how the tool is used. As someone said, with really innovative ideas, it's often necessary to push them down people's throats to make them understand those; this gif is part of that effort, and fortunately seems quite effective, but even it is not enough for some people, and I'm by default assuming that it's for obvious reasons completely inaccessible to you. I was pondering just now whether trying to copy this animation to asciinema could make it in any way more accessible to you, but as of now I have high doubts if that would work at all (including that I have no idea whether the asciinema site is at all accessible to you, as well as that I'm highly suspicious the terminal ANSI sequences generated by a library I'm using are "tiniest diffs", so although the result might look indistinguishable to fully-sighted people, a screen reader might [or might not???] take them at face value and read them as a mess of random jumps and single-character changes on the screen). That said, I'm more than 100% happy if you managed to understand what the tool is doing, and just don't think it could be useful to you, whether as is or with some accessibility improvement attempts. Or if you don't understand but don't feel like wanting to dive deeper either.

Fun fact: CIWS are not actually that great for shooting at pirate skiffs, since 1. They typically require radar lock before being able to fire in the first place and a fiberglass dinghy has a really low radar cross section and also typically not enough doppler since it doesn't go at anti-ship missile speeds. 2. The manual override for this behavior has "rather poor" UX to say the least, since it is not really a core feature of the system. The whole point of a CIWS is that it's only used in the last few seconds of an engagement at speeds at which humans cannot react. 3. The ammunition used is typically subcaliber armor piercing discarding sabot type rounds. They are optimized at taking down an anti ship missile if they hit by destroying the guidance section of the missile or (if you get a lucky hit) detonating the warhead. They will just go through a pirate skiff and come out the other end. The skiff is lighter than water so it won't sink.

What you want is a 76mm gun or a RWCS like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitrole, preferably firing airburst and/or flechette rounds. They have a much better probability to hit and disable the target than a CIWS.

Source: Used to be a weapons engineering officer for the Royal Netherlands Navy. A ship I was on caught some pirates off the coast of Somalia once and (after the pirates were taken into custody) we tried to sink their vessel with the CIWS, leading to the lessons in the post above. It turns out it is really tough to sink something lighter than water by punching holes into it and the expected "the CIWS will saw the dinghy in half" effect was much less than we hoped.

>So... you're countering one strawman with another?

A strawman is when you misrepresent another person's argument. What I've done is present a hypothetical situation, apply the GP's prescribed view to it, and asked if it's fair. It is basically a kind of "proof by contradiction" where you assume the opposite of what you want to prove, apply it to a situation and show a contradiction, and so it must be false. I think it's a pretty strong, argument, actually.
> What definition are you using?

Literally to mean “in a literal sense; exactly” not the novel accepted usage to include meaning “figuratively, not literally”.
I agree. I do not use squash, I prefer to have a feature branch and live it alone after a merge.

Anyway some workmate use Squash when accepting pull request on GitLab/GitHub as a general workflow suggested by such tools and in context where trunk based development is not feasible.
Ask HN: How has your startup culture deteriorated?
Hey HN!

I'm prototyping a culture growth platform for startups that's employee-centric.

If you've worked at/founded a startup, what elements of culture have been lost as the company grew? What do you think could have been done, had there been more foresight?

Thanks!

Damn, that was a hard, painful read. Incredibly well written too. Thank you for sharing.
> You can't just assume...

That is the point. They are all able to hide behind a cloud of doubt and lack of clarity. That's the spin.

What's not addressed is the possibility aggregate - or worse, exponential - effect of each individual "Not us our data says becoming something far more (read: worse). So A, B and C do their data. But reality is not a silo. Those things combine. Who is addressing that? Just because that's extremely difficult doesn't mean it doesn't exist, doesn't matter.

Keep in mind, as I understand it. A company can put a new chemical in a product without approval. It's only after the fact if it's proven unsafe will it be taken off the market (and perhaps only in select countries).

Conclusion: Yes, it easy to say "It's only X amount of B." But it's not only B we're being exposed to. It's a whole bleepin' 1,000 letter alphabet of unknowns. No one should be comfortable with that. Yet we are.

In public school in France, what i learned:

Triple integrals are a bit too hard for 11th grade, but they are usefull to calculate the speed of a sailing boat. If you admit only one sail form exist however, you can make a simple algorithm for your pupils to apply different lenght/height and calculate the ultimate ratios. Thank you Mr Mason.

Microwaves are dangerous, but the powder inside fluocompacte (don't have the translation :/) bulbs does not react dangerously, and that can be used to who how low-consumption light can change our consumption (it was before LED bulbs became a thing, overall i have a lot of useless knowledge from this, but the method stayed with me).

You don't need to learn italian to translate a fencing treaty from 17th century bologna, but translating historical text is hard. At least you can use some positions and attacks in your saber competition, it's not good but surprising enough to get some points. But well, my history teacher introduced most of us to HEMA

There is multiple francophone theater festival a year, some of them not in France, and surprisingly not many French school attend (We were mostly the only one each of the 3 time). Tulsea is a fine city, Agadir is better and Liege is interesting too (budget cut in my last year i guess, we did not take the plane).

My brother was in a private school however. And i can tell you the difference: in public school the floor is low, sometime very low compared to private school. But the ceiling can be much, much higher when your school have a bit of money (like if it's also a public trade school).

I've also been part of "les petit debrouillards" and i've taught some chemistry and engineering (sometime even electricity!) to kids, at different levels. I've been invited to public school, to homeschooling association, but never to private school. It might be anecdotal, but our group was very well known and liked, we had a lot more invitations than we could respond to/attend to, and never once we were called to a private school. It's not a dig, but in my mind, it is exactly why i couldn't have done everything i've done if i went to the same private school my brother went. I would probably have a lot more money than i do now (not that i really care, i'm still in the top 10% income), but with a lot less skills and experiences.
Don't try to change other people. It never works. Let him be and accept the inconvenience as a gift.
> since private property is also only legally a thing

This is a particularly interesting thing to point out in this context - property ownership is a meme itself.

> Things have value because we need them (inelastic part of the supply-demand curve), things have a price because we want them (elastic part of the supply-demand curve).

Incidentally while it's an interesting distinction, I don't agree with your comment on need/value want/price. I value lots of things I don't need. Humans are creatures that value things, things that are valued are valuable.

> Only if you don't understand probabilities and risk management.

Yeah, you're probably right on that. I could maybe try to claim that probabilities and risk management are memes themselves...
I think this is a lot more common than we realize. I've noticed some men as they age seem to prefer DIY solutions over pre-bought solutions. I think it might be a mix of enjoyment, or self-satisfaction from coming up with a new solution, or remnants of an old habit they developed out of necessity when younger.

I live in a rural area myself and it's not unusual to see a pick up truck with DIY elements on them such as a wood bed rack, or wood bed cap. Usually this is a dead give away of an older gentlemen driving it. My parents own a pick up truck that had an older gentleman as a previous owner and it has a DIY wooden center console in it as it did not come with one from the factory. Ford sells a center console as an option for some of them but I guess he preferred to build his own.

I fear this will be me in 40 years.

According to Google Translate:

> Booking has never encountered espionage before. The company isn't really looking for it either. As long as it doesn't cause any hindrance, it won't cost you any money. The unspoken consensus among specialists within the company is: we suspect that intelligence services are watching, but as long as we don't see them, we don't worry.

And often those same kids don't have time to dedicate to their studies, having to work after school to help support their family.

Teaching at the rural school I grew up in really changed my perspective. I was very abnormal when growing up there, and all my friends were too (I can only think of one good friend who's parents were divorced, and her mom and remarried when she was fairly young), and I was super insulated from the realities of things there. Coming back as a teacher made me see how much worse it is, and it's a clear difference between the kids; even those kids whose parents want them to do well struggle if the parents can't be at home.
It's worse than that. Whitespace is a hellish invention in the world of computers: there are multiple characters that may or may not render as whitespace with no way to distinguish them by just looking at the output.

Yet to the machine (script, shell, program, ...) it matters a lot, since u0020≠u0009≠u00A0≠u2000≠u2001, etc. whereas the aforementioned codepoints render like this: " "
(and yes, that's indeed the five codepoint in that order - at least I typed them that way).

(Ab)Using whitespace like that can lead to all sorts of funny business, not just when dealing with shell scripts and variable expansion.

Gelertner and Jaganathan's Programming Linguistics is very well written and most interesting.

What Is Simulation Theory?J Are We Living in a Simulation?
A slight variation of that balloon question (it asked what happens to the balloon when the car starts moving) was on a Ph 1 homework at Caltech in 1977. I don't know if I'd call it a trick question, but there were large contingents supporting both "it moves toward the back" and "it moves toward the front", and a few going with "it stays where it is".

Back in those days there was an annual organized bus trip to Disneyland for Caltech students, and that homework set happened to come out right before that. The Disneyland trips always had a large number of first year students, and Ph 1 is a required course for all first year students, so something like 80% of the people in my bus on that trip had opinions on that problem. Several bought balloons when it was time to return to the buses.

It must have been a strange sight to the bus driver to see the entire busload of students get on the bus and then just sit in silence staring at balloons while waiting for the bus to start moving.
So he took the coward's way out, knowing that his abuse was about to catch up with him. Pathetic really.

>>Having candidates talk through the solution to a non-trivial programming problem is a critical tool for me. I need to find developers that can not only code, but work as a part of a team

So at work, every time your programmers are assigned a JIRA ticket they speak in loud voices every line of code they are writing/deleting/editing???

Sounds like a horrible way of managing a team.

>>I can't afford to hire developers that can't effectively communicate complex ideas to other developers - something they're often required to do on-the-fly.

This goes beyond I imagined. Once the JIRA is assigned they literally scream at each other what they are thinking?

I have had situations where people complain about noisy clicky keyboards, let alone people loudly repeating their ideas on other peoples faces.

How does all this work for your team?
That really is a thing of the US. I am born '76 and throughout Europe we ever had FM radio, AM is and was on no ones radar except medium wave hunters. The only addition was FM stereo where I remember a local radio station which didn't broadcast stereo until the mid 80ies.

What's the legal risk?
I would agree if I didn’t have this happen to me personally. It happens far more often than you could imagine, and the judicial system setup around it makes an automatic assumption the male is the aggressor.

In my case I was stabbed by her and still charged as if I was the aggressor. The state of California refused to drop the charges even with this evidence and I couldn’t afford a lawyer to fight it. I plead to a misdemeanor and now I cannot own a firearm for the rest of my life.

I don’t even like talking about it since the stigma around it is so large and I know people think I’m a liar because why would a woman lie about that?
Yeah, this is a recurring theme for immigrants in these countries (esp here in Sweden where the immigration agency has been backstopped since the big 2015 refugee influx).

You can get a temporary "coordination ID" that healthcare,etc can use to register your journals but Bank's doesn't always let you create accounts without personal ID numbers (and specifically no BankID's so you're locked out of all the modern digital niceties and sometimes requirements).

The EU has begun a process of creating intercommunication systems* to allow for digital logins when being in other EU countries, no idea if these systems will ever allow for non-EU identifications (that would help enormously for those countries that has gotten far along).
