I believe they mean someone with the charisma and depth to give great interviews with many interesting people but specifically in this case, people that code. Much of Joe's audience would tune out after a few minutes of coding discussion. So in this case, an interviewer that can pull in some of the top developers from around the world and be able to carry on interesting conversations with them that would draw in an audience of developers. ckvamme, please correct me if I am wrong.

I would be amazed if we were talking Firefox, but Google pushes Chrome down your throat pretty hard..
Yes people with serious depression etc are offended. I don’t see how that is gatekeeping. We just believe the writing should reflect how this person was not really suffering that much. There are a number of examples given throughout the comments showcasing that.

It would be nice if the blog post was more aware of their situation vs the situation for actually [clinically] depressed people. The word depressed does not have a firm meaning in society. This benefits the blogger in that their feats sound impressive and make depression not seem to be such a big deal.

I don’t see how this is gate keeping.
Did you know you can comment on HN without linking to that subreddit?
Yeah I don't have an anti Microsoft sentiment like the loud posters in these threads and I'm actually interested in chrome alternatives for cross platform browser (chrome battery usage is abysmal) but this shit makes me permanently ignore Edge. Bundling 3rs party commercial extensions in the browser - no thanks.
In the insurance world, sufficient efforts aren’t always sufficient to mitigate this kind of problem. In commercial wildfire risk and in municipal insurance (think police brutality cases), for example, precautionary prescriptions often aren’t enough to keep entities from becoming uninsurable due to things like litigation risk.
i’d recommend you try a model f. despite the model m’s quality, it was actually made as a cheap alternative to the model f. the f is basically an m on steroids. i don’t prefer it to the hhkb for 2 reasons: (1) it’s ridiculously heavy, and i take my keyboard around with me (2) the layout doesn’t suit my workflow very well
Indeed, we even haven’t really owned things that require electric power and depend on external supply. Internet is the new “electricity.”
The points you're making are valid, but the article is about a Guinness World Record. A world record is by definition the best case, and it must have been verified by Guinness.

I don't think anyone expects their Sunday road trip to beat a world record.
Realisation: you could do this with any modern touchpad.

Realisation 2: you could trap scroll events and implement the whole thing in-browser.

Deliver, on-time, consistently. Exceed expectations for quality of execution. See things through end-to-end instead of staying within your silo; anticipate challenges across the entire process and deal with them effectively. Make sure your contributions have impact, and that they are recognized.

If you do all of that, and you still don’t rise in the ranks, leave: it’s them, not you.

On the other hand, if you are okay with not being promoted, then stay. Your employer correctly gauges that promotion is not needed to retain your services. Or they feel that they could live without your continued contributions.

If you are committed to staying, they don’t necessarily need to know that. You could get an outside job offer and see if your current employer counters. How badly do they want to keep you? Or you could switch to another team within the same company which is willing to take you on in a leadership or leadership track role.
The FSF’s principles have always permitted the use of non-free software when it advances the goal of software freedom. GNU was initially built using non-free software.

Given the pejorative yet inaccurate references to “religion.” I can’t help but think some people are deeply disturbed by the very concept of moral principles and and cognitive dissonance is forcing them to hallucinate that the FSF doesn’t actually have principles but is instead a cult. Very odd.
The value judgement is because they target the people that can't afford it by making them think they can.

This kind of scheme works fine if you're good at managing finances. You can plan ahead and set the money for the repayments aside. Though if you are good at it, I wouldn't see why you'd bother.

Unfortunately, the kind of people that need this kind of scheme to buy stuff, are generally really bad at managing their finances. Otherwise they would have had buffer savings and could buy the thing just out of pocket. In the end it brings them only deeper into the debt hole.

The only thing I'd take a loan (mortgage) for is a house, personally. Even my cars I paid all in cash (my most expensive one was a 2200 euro Volvo and it served me well for many years :)

Personally I think ethically it's similar to the tobacco industry. They're exploiting a weakness of some people. Sure, they could resist it but some people are just not capable of doing so.

Is there an epidemic of burglars injuring themselves I’m not aware of?
These people are rarely public, you don't even need to know they exist. They exist behind the figures we see on the TV. Where there is money and a chance of corruption, they definitely exist.
The aircraft was at 36,000 feet in the hold. Perhaps the pilot put the plane in the hold so he could subdue remaining crew and pax or mess with something outside of the cockpit?

At that altitude anyone without oxygen would be passed out or dead (higher than Mt Everest).

In another tragedy, A Greek 737 had a pressurization issue (crew failed to communicate because one was Ukrainian and the other was Greek) and it killed everyone except a flight attendant. The FA could not get the plane off autopilot to descend. The aircraft flew to the last waypoint in the FMS and entered a hold and continued holding until it ran out of fuel and crashed.

Perhaps that was what happened with this hold except it eventually left the hold for some reason and continued until it ran out of fuel and descended into the ocean?
Ask HN: What else do you regularly read besides HN?
Bloatware is a far too benign term for this. The browser should treat financial transactions like the post office treats a letter - never mess with the contents, just move it where it needs to go. This is a major breach of trust. It pisses me off and I don't even use Edge (or Chrome, or Windows) unless I have to, which is rare.

Analog world analogy: Post office inserting advertisements for financing into sealed private letters.

The parent said:

> They were at best suffering situational depression, otherwise called "sadness".

The blogger didn’t say sadness or mild depression much or at all. They said depression from the get go and made the symptoms seem decently severe at first. Tho again. That is not something that can differentiated from a period of sadness.

The OPs schizoaffective disorder does not change anything they wrote.
If CCP is as you described, and Peng Shuai worry about her family, she wouldn't speak in the first place. There was nothing happening for her before she made the post online.
"But this isn't unethical, there are no fees as long as people pay on time."
Your Bitcoin is also subject to theft. Hard theft or soft theft (lack of access). The chance of theft of either is relatively small. Seems like a non concern
This is just piling speculation upon speculation without evidence - and if the person flying the aircraft did not know how to dump fuel, then that would, of course, defeat the original speculation about the purpose of this alleged holding pattern!

Adam Selipsky of AWS has clearly said he will move more into applications. We will hear more in ReInvent shortly. Most SaaS runs on Cloud. Once the SaaS valuations in market reaches more normal levels, FAANGs will swoop in to buy. Core IaaS/PaaS is a commodity.

Why did you feel the need to comment this? Their comment is about the chances you have to lose your phone or break it and it then becomes an issue. You've provided no additional insight towards the problem or the discussion other than to "brag" how nice it is to not carry a key while carrying the risk of not being able to get use your car if your phone stops working.
Having been a very satisfied Pocket user before Firefox bundled it, I was quite happy to see the new integration, which works great.

So, I am having trouble figuring out what are the events/changes that you are characterizing as "shannagains"?
Yeah, that's him.

"Smart" is just a label meaning "You don't really own this, the manufacturer does"
That’s like saying you rent your wallet from the thief.
It’s highly dependant on cities. It’s not happening at all in Quebec for example.

Toronto is probably the poster child of that idea but it is actually going away. The city decided they will plow the sidewalks themselves starting this year. While you were “required” to do it, tons of people wouldn’t do it and enforcement wouldn’t be consistent. This would leave you with dangerous sidewalks where the people who need it the most (disabled, elderly) would be stuck walking in the street because the roads for car would be perfectly plowed.
I think Guix has like 1/3 the total number of packages available, probably less. This may not be a huge deal— when I started using NixOS, Nixpkgs was much smaller than it is now, too, but it still felt worth it for me. As another user pointed out, packaging in Nix and Guix is pretty easy for anything that doesn't have a bespoke or ill-behaved (requiring network access, trying to write to the directories of other packages, etc.) build system. But it can make a big difference for usability if packaging work is cumbersome for you, or something very large or complex that you want is missing. (I think KDE is still missing, for example.)

Nix flakes are kind of a lot of things: a version pinning system, the switch to pure evaluation mode by default (which impacts caching in a good way but makes configuration slightly more annoying), a distribution mechanism for code written in Nixlang, and a collection of Nixlang schemas which enable a richer command line experience (that, e.g., power the new `nix run` command). It's not clear how many of those functions Nix flakes will retain in its final form.

There's no singular feature that attempts all that in Guix as far as I know, and I don't know the general technical story for evaluation caching with Guix. But Guix does have an integrated, first-party form of package pinning. Where Nix flakes replaces the old 'channel' system, Guix has a richer notion of channels which support pinning in normal Guix expressions.

(In Nix, channels are an output that have a certain structure and get managed in a certain way via fhe nix-channel command to manage them— they're like another type of Nix profile. In Guix, channels are defined by the user directly in Scheme code, just like the rest of their configuratiom, which is more similar to how Nix flake inputs are defined than to Nix channels.)

I've never used Guix channels in anger, so I can't tell you how nice that notion of version pinning is to use.

I love the framing "key versus technology" in the article. Aren't (electronic) keys technology, too?
You write nation state but link to an article about a Russian. Outside of the United States[1], ‘nation state’ is not synonymous with ‘country’ (for example Russia and Iran, two commonly mentioned adversaries, are multiethnic states rather than nation states).

If you don’t want to write ‘country’ because it isn’t fancy enough, you can say ‘state level actor’ or ‘government actor’.

I realise this is a stupid nitpick but this is a hill I am willing to die on.

[1] lots of people in the national security sphere in the US like to use the term ‘nation state’ but they also use lots of stupid terms that don’t seem so much into everyday language. I do notice some media outlets or government sources outside of the US using alternative terms like the ones suggested above.
> If you update your CPU microcode to something that can't be checked, you're already sacrificing security.

You are already running CPU microcode that can't be checked when you are running Guix on x86. That ship sailed when you decided to use x86.
I am interested in quant finance and look at R-bloggers and search for new papers at SSRN and arXiv . For general news the Wall Street Journal.
This is a really interesting point. Arguably the entity in the best position to “purchase” the insurance (and indemnify users) are the software companies rather than the licensees of the software.
I don't know about you, I am Chinese, and I have experience in other developing countries as well. If you prefer developed country where things are already in place, good for you, there are countries still need to catch up and don't need you spreading misunderstandings and misinformations.
A few years back, I refactored a memory/time-intensive task of an application to leverage AWS lambdas. Once the code got into production, it ended up working out fine and we were able to side-step OOM issues that were plaguing the prior incarnation. Takeaways:

* being able to scale on a per-request basis and understand your burst usage of resources is pretty useful

* the top-level comment regarding CAPEX vs OPEX was spot on. Our higher-ups always had their eyes on the AWS bill and not having to pay for instances (either spot or elastic) appeased them.

* at the time at least with Java-based lambdas, the local tooling was really clunky and slow with that nasty startup. You might have better success with node or python in that area.

* otherwise, like any other tech, there's gonna be tradeoffs. Something good to keep in your toolbox, but like most things they're no silver bullet.
They are. You can't use many features of Windows any more without Edge opening - default browser or not.
I mean the person in the video has MS and is presumably never going to get back the function she has lost in her left side. She was unable to go downstairs unassisted before this device. She's not training for strength, she just needs to be able to access her whole house.

From this and your other comments, it sounds like you are really struggling. I hope things get better for you.
I am surprised more governments do not require more open source systems. But that should just be the beginning: To maintain autonomy, they need to organize multilateral efforts to audit them for back doors. They also need to look beyond current generation systems. Even with a lot of auditing and security testing, it is questionable whether current generation systems can be secured.
Man, I see in Hacker Rank the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential. And I see it squandered. Goddamn it, an entire generation writing docs, fixing bugs, typing code. Slaves in digital collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war's a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on internet to believe that one day we'd all be crypto millionaires and famous scientists and popular video bloggers. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Welcome to the club, pal.

P.S.
> I sometimes wonder if my mental condition or my medication has had an effect on this: I'm bipolar schizoaffective and borderline.

I wonder why you wonder. Read the side effects of your medications: depression, sleep problems, aggression, agitation, fatigue. If you had this since childhood, that was one of the reasons you dropped out of university. The people you talk about don't have to deal with this shit, most people don't.

Look at this. How many people there are really famous and what's the proportion to the famous people without it? 0.000001%? And I bet most of them were just born in the right family and in the right country.
I had a roommate who was exceedingly stylish in an alternative sort of way. He once won a prohibition-era costume contest just dressed like he always does. He later suffered a smattering of strokes, during his recovery we got him a cane.

He thought the cane was such a cool accessory that we had to have a sort of intervention: Dude, you're in your 20's, don't give up on walking without a cane just because you think your cane makes you look distinguished.

So yeah, it's a real thing, but I think it's more of something to be aware of while you're using the product rather than a critique of the product: It's a crutch, crutches come with disclaimers.
Some cyber insurers are already doing this. I know at least one that scans the company network when quoting and will decline applicants who have open RDP detected on their network for example.

Let's say that I'm more actively exploring options than ever before to:

- Make it possible for my younger teammates to have options (https://twitter.com/jugurthahadjar/status/145841354768011264...) and potentially get another passport that gives them options.

- Make it possible for them to have a sizeable equity to apologize for the opportunity cost they have incurred by staying.

- Make it possible for my whole family to have options.

Let's also say that practically everyone I know has left: I am in a local exile. Let's also say that I am way too familiar with how precincts work and have too many lawyers in my contacts for anyone not involved in criminal activities to have, and let's also say that I am extremely careful about what I say online. Let's also say that I'm pushing my friend whose wife is pregnant to make sure his wife gives birth elsewhere so his daughter gets a passport that offers mobility. Let's also say that my first advice to students who ask me for advice is to Get the Fuck Out, and let's also say that I'm constantly reminding my team to save money, and let's also say that I'm having conversations with my siblings to answer the question: what are we still doing here? (we're the only ones who have stayed. Practically all my family has left decades ago). My mother's refusal to live elsewhere was the main reason we stayed. She passed away in July.

Would you say that I have answered your question?

Weird to see the library I work on show up in HN —- Mir Ion is a pretty complicated library (and admittedly our documentation needs work — I’m working on that!), but I’m very proud of our work.

Some fun things about Mir Ion:

- We can fully deserialize Ion at compile-time (via D’s CTFE functionality)

- We’re one of the fastest JSON parsing libraries (and one of the most memory efficient too — we actually store all JSON data in memory as Ion data, which is vastly more efficient)

- We’re nearly 100% compliant to all of the upstream test cases (our main issue is that we’re often too lax on spec, and allow files that are invalid through)

- The entire library is (nearly) all `@nogc`, thanks to the Mir standard library

If anyone has any questions on Mir Ion, feel free to shoot me a line at harrison (at) 0xcc.pw

An asteroid will be our only hope then.
It’s really important for Tesla drivers to consider the keycard as a key that you must carry at all times, and the app as a (blissful) convenience that mostly works. I’ve had my phone die while running errands, not realizing I wouldn’t be able to unlock the car to charge my phone. I just keep the keycard in my wallet, definitely will keep doing that with the added potential for server outage.

In the dead phone scenario, one thing I didn’t realize was that I could borrow a phone, call my wife, have her remote unlock and also start the car so I can get on my merry way while my phone gets sufficient charge to boot back up.
I’ve been generally happy with my switch to Edge, but am not a huge fan of this. However, I think you may be overestimating how much a non-technical person would dislike a feature like this. If anything, many would likely be happy to have layaway at their fingertips for all of their purchases.
They seem to do this every couple of years. Frankly it seems they have nothing else to do or worry about, so good for them perhaps?
I understand and agree with your explaination.

I agree that article addresses a real problem that should be exposed and dealt with.

However, the NYT does not appear to.

The title of article is "Americans’ Appetite for Leather in Luxury SUVs Worsens Amazon Deforestation"

It implies the problem isn't that you're ignorant of where the leather comes from. Rather, it's your appitite that's the problem. You hunger for the leather and you don't care about the consequences of harvesting it.

What's more, it's not just the glutonous consumers of Luxury SUVs in general. It's specifically Americans. Americans are the problem.

NYT decided to up it's viewership by using a clickbate title that panders to an audience that likes reading about how gready, irresponsible and contemptable Americans are.

I think the NYT editors are a hateful bunch. They profit by instulting on the very country and infrastructure that supports it.

How about the NYT publishes this article:

"The New York Times' Misleading Titles and Appetite for Viewers Unfairly Worsens America's Worldwide Image"
