> For the most part, they don't get 'stained-glass windows and such'

Then why did this guy have one to begin with?

> our capacity to remember people is independent of stained-glassed windows.

Then why do we build them for people we do like?

The problem is this: Having someone be simultaneously notable for something good and notable for something bad doesn't cancel out and make them notable for nothing. They did the good thing they did, which we should remember, and they did the bad thing they did, which we should also remember.

But institutions have the incentive to present only the good in their histories. Which is how we forget our mistakes and make them again.

You don't like this guy? Leave the window alone and build whatever the opposite of a window is to condemn his bad acts.
After taking a cursory glance at the sources, It's rather unique in a way that it's GTK based yet looks nothing the average GTK application. I wonder what made them pick GTK instead of QML or even something unique like many DAWs do.

btw congrats to the team, I'm not musically gifted to give an opinion on how usable it is, but the design looks very crisp and more akin to something you see in closed source apps with an army of designers behind them.

> Everyone who leaves the military has a very high opinion of their peers' professionalism, dedication, and so forth.

Are you talking about the US military and do you have some data on that? I see people with no experience of the military imagine a storybook entity (which is a very popular public concept these days), but the US military has significant retention problems, very high rates of suicide and sexual assault (signals of and, for the latter, a cause of a toxic environment), and a lot of morale, discipline, and corruption problems. As a couple of examples of the latter, around a year ago, the head of special operations said that it was their top priority. In ~ the last year, the Navy was having trouble filling higher ranks because so many officers had been kicked out due to corruption scandals (e.g., the 'Fat Leonard' scandal).

The glorification of the military might seem patriotic, but I think it's the opposite: It's a way of not seeing and addressing problems, which weakens defense and leaves the people serving to deal with the problems and suffer the consequences (including the environment, more and longer tours, and possibly their lives). It's like a case of extreme over-confidence in a CEO - a very dangerous flaw.

> Compare that to the Googlers who constantly complain about their employer

People in the military don't gripe?
I don't disagree with b, but I'd suspect there are many, many more people like me in the silent majority.

You just don't hear about it much because it's a boring news story.
It wouldn't. OP doesn't understand.
After the CCP took over China, they turned their attention to Tibet. Tibet didn't stand a chance, and is now well along the ethnic cleansing path. Ask the Dalai Lama what he thinks about what's going on there.

The CCP turned their attention to East Turkistan. There's now over a million Uighurs in concentration camps. Ethnic cleansing is in full swing as they bull doze the past.

People think of these countries as part of China now. That's how all the maps are drawn.

They recently crushed Hong Kong.

There is strong evidence that the CCP is committing attrocities such as organ harvesting from living dissidents. The organ replacement situation is China is amazing for CCP members.

Their next target is Taiwan, and dictator for life Xi has staked his reputation on conquering it.

What do you think they intend to do with hypersonics or quantum supremacy?

They are pouring a lot more money into these things than the west is. What do you think will happen when they can break our strongest encryption with quantum computers? All that invenstment of time by our best and brightest in fintech won't matter at that point.

This is the bottle imp paradox: https://boingboing.net/2019/02/07/the-paradox-of-the-bottle-.... The crash is far enough in the future that people don't worry about buying into USDT because they think they can sell it off before the inevitable crash.

My theory on how this works is as (nearly) everyone shopping on Amazon is logged in they know where you are probably going to ask to ship your order to. And so they show you search result tailored to what is in stock at your nearest Amazon warehouse. That way they don’t have to distribute the same stock to all warehouses.

Try searching Amazon in a privet window, you get very different result and prices (from different sellers) for the same products. I think that’s down to what’s regionally distributed near you.

I posted an Ask HN on employee agreements ~10 months ago (for my previous startup, which was seed-ish stage), but the post got zero traction:

* "Ask HN: What should early startup Employee Agreements require, and not?"
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26016445

If some founder wants to figure out how to do employee agreements better, they could be more equitable, and be more appealing than the scary FAANG document a hiring candidate is comparing it to.
Precisely. So many Tether defenders simply have no idea how exchanges or markets work for that matter.

It's truly scary how much confidence people have in topics they do not understand.
Ok. I stand corrected. Call them attestations.

Nonetheless, they have been done by independent third-parties who are a lot more reputed than whatever has actually managed to look into Tether's data. Even if you take the "attestation" done by Tether at face value, it showed a mix of assets that is absolutely unhealthy.
I think that kind of paper wouldn't make for a very comfortable ass wiping so no - lacking the utility of TP.
I really think this is where pure FP shines.

If you look at the architecture of something like Apache Beam, while you describe your computations in a language like Java or Python, you're really using a DSL for creating an immutable DAG that processes chunks of immutable data, persisiting each chunk (being loose with terms here) for durability, 'modifying' it in the immutable sense and then passing it on to the next edge and so on.

In a single standalone system, many argue that a purely immutable conceptual approach has pros and cons. In the Big Data world, I've never heard anyone argue for an imperative approach. Immutability is necessary, and as soon as you need immutability you want all the other goodies that facilitate it in a clean way like monads, lenses, and the like.
They stop giving you updates, you unlock the bootloader, flash LineageOS and use the device safely and in an up to date fashion for another couple of years.
I'm a bit sad that there are no AAA FLOSS games

AAA games are typically the result of a small army of artists, working overlong hours for a year or three. Go read the credits of one all the way through sometime, and compare to the credits of a summer tentpole action/effects film.

Do you have any proposals for ways to get this many people to work for that long for free? Or for a way to fund them and release the full source for the executables and the assets for free?
Many parts of the US still do not have reliable internet or anything other than degraded phone lines that barely service 56k with cell service that gives 1 bar part of the time, which is a huge barrier to paperless service. Also they still need a way to send government documents, jury and court summons, ect. My own internet is wireless microwave transceiver which only works because I live on a hill, the people around me in the bowls and swamps barely have workable cell service even outside their house. And that is all on top of the fact that internet and devices to connect to the internet cost a significant amount of money to maintain, and paying private companies should not be a requirement to live your life on your own property.
Wow. 180% from me.

HS: I’d have at least put in a bit of effort to get decent grades. My test scores (ACT, SAT) were much better than my grades implied. I had way too much “fun”.

College: a decent small liberal arts program would have been much better than a huge state school. This isn’t to say the education itself would have been better, but for me it would have been a much better atmosphere to succeed in.
Is there a good sub or discussion board for the design and implementation of complex backend app architectures that need to operate at scale? By complex I mean something beyond just CRUD. I'm thinking of consensus systems, transactional systems, queuing systems, distributed locking, sharding techniques — but also just practical engineering stuff, like which off-the-shelf tools to pick for certain problems.
For example, recently I ran into something where an app needs to send a certain volume of telemetry data to BigQuery, but buffering the outgoing data in memory isn't possible, because BQ ingest is slow enough that the processes would OOM; but also, because it must be possible to kill the app without losing the data. Turns out even Google Pub/Sub can't handle the volume. Writing to Postgres would work, but now we're talking about writing a whole little app with a schema just for some short-lived linear data. Must be a solved problem? But the best solution I found was to send the data to RedPanda and then have a simple little consumer ingest it into BQ asynchronously. When I had this question, I realized I had nobody to bounce ideas back and forth with. Stack Overflow doesn't have the right people (in my experience), and "Ask HN" doesn't get any replies because people don't seem to watch that space for new threads.
Another problem I ran into the other day, which I still don't have a solution to, is spinning up end-to-end integration tests on Kubernetes. There must be some orchestration tool that can let us reuse all our existing Kustomize manifests for our apps so that I can say "this test requires apps A, B, C, please boot them and their required databases in a new empty namespace, then wait for them to get ready, then run the tests and then tear down everything, and then report all the results somewhere l, and also plug this into the GitHub PR status checks and log outcomes to Slack". Again, I don't know where to go for this. I tried the CNCF Slack community, but it was all tumbleweeds. I asked on "Ask HN" and got a reply from a CircleCI person that misunderstood my question. Surely this is a common problem? We use ArgoCD for deploys, but it doesn't have a solution to this problem, and Argo Workflows (which we currently use for e2e, but we are unhappy with it) curiously has no synergy with Argo app definitions.
There's a certain type of "success trap" where one's first success is so significant that they don't ever need to figure out how to work with other people (or at least people who are peers and not underlings), and I think that's where the "carney" element comes from, where you're sort of drunk on your own hubris (regardless of actual merit)

We've seen boot times in the 60s and 70s of ms but have put absolutely no work into optimizing that. We could drive that down substantially for payloads like virtual network functions.

I should point out that boot time is highly dependent on two things: infrastructure of choice and application payload. For instance, your typical rails or JVM payload might take longer to init then actual boot time. Similarly booting on Azure can be different than booting under firecracker on your own hardware.
Publicly funded Twitter would not exists. Why would any government facilitates more free speech? If it exists, it will be censored to oblivion.
Interesting. Based on your experience, would you say it's a consequence of filling the ranks with draftees?

Despite the rose-colored (gold-colored) glasses in some comments, I'm sure every military, and every other large organization, has the same things. We are dealing with millions of human beings. I've never worked with even 10 that were all so highly motivated.
It is military innovation more than anything. If they didn’t have guns and other weapons I don’t think they would have had such an easy time subjugating india.
I think we should be able to compartmentalise and recognise it is possible to admire someone for one thing while condemning them for another.

The commemoration was for mathematical contributions, not humanitarian efforts.
I started to try to make an argument for pipe autodetection, but I just can't. It seems like a useful feature but is actually a trap. Shell scripts that are going to rely on json output should always explicitly specify that they want json output, and giving them the ability to shortcut that by autodetecting a pipe will only make it easy to ignore that - And then break when some other format comes into vogue. Human readable output should generally be the default, unless the programs are explicitly designed as only part of a pipeline.

Having multiple outputs is a great feature, though. I'm especially fond of tooling in Kubernetes that allows you to nicely pipe things in and out in multiple formats.

So the plan is to cause bureaucratic headaches and forced treatment options for people who openly and sanely admit they don't like being here, leaving only the messy and less effective methods easily available?

This is one of those, "in theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there are" situations.

Nobody owes society anything. In fact, the reverse is true: society owes things to those brought into this world without being asked: clean water, safety, clean environment, reasonable standards of living. I just don't see how it could cross anyone's mind to try to prevent people from ending their life, since they didn't ask to be here in the first place, to support a society that has clearly failed that individual.

If a society is good and just and receives conscious support from people, that's acceptable. But I don't see how it could possibly justify interfering with a right of self determination w.r.t. ending the ride early.

I guess I just don't get it. It seems cruel and Kafkaesque.
Customers are misled by the common wording that is used in the current digital marketplaces. The wording needs to reflect the fact that we are just getting a revocable nontransferable license to a digital product or service, and that in no shape or form the customer owns such digital assets.

Instead of "Buy" perhaps it should be "Purchase license" or "Acquire license".
Instead of "Purchases", it should say "Licensed products/services".

Ironically, whilst arguing that only crazy woke leftists could possibly see postwar enthusiasm for the race science of literal Nazis as a reason not to venerate a [very clever] eugenicist, the same "pushback against dangerous consensus" publication carries other columns twisting Popper's paradox of tolerance into a case for the Civil Service to purge anyone sufficiently left wing to criticise the government. Cancelling stained glass tributes to flawed geniuses is a tragedy, cancelling those who complain about the government they work for a necessity

Long lived public keys work well for PGP, the trouble with that is the manual handling of keys and huge learning curve. With automated identities handled by the email client and countersigned by the provider, you can easily establish a key rotation schedule. Maybe not as effective as Signal but it stops all MITM attacks that don't compromise the providers, a high bar. Of course, the actual symmetric encryption key is unique for each message.

DANE was ditched not because of technical problems or political pushback, but simply due to lack of adoption. Massive network effects and existing investment in the broken CA model, sites don't care about interacting with two sets of PKI if customers will only reach them on one, therefore they don't publish DANE records, therefore the support is removed from major browsers after a few years essentially to reduce dead code and 1024 bit RSA keys. If you know otherwise please enlighten. So it's the same problem everywhere, lack of interoperability chains us to outdated protocols, a problem of course shared by my proposal too.
Doesn't change that the airtags are apparantly a helpful part of the theives' toolkit. Being able to track your target to a quiet place, with little/no effort, is huge.

IANAL, cannot comment on the legality, but as far as I’m concerned the comment about the department being too dependent on you is the most salient point of your entire post. There’s a whole universe of lawsuits and actions that can be filed and are not filed because companies calculate that they’ll extract a better return from a “live and let live” approach.

There’s probably an ocean of open source that is in a work product gray area, and the companies just don’t care enough to do anything (think “I saw Alex working on a 2D physics game library after successfully deploying our latest healthcare platform feature. It will be of no use to us, and Alex is a good dev, let’s let it slide.”)

A lot of copyright infringement goes un-acted on because it just doesn’t matter to the rights holders. But if they’re in a jurisdiction where they can enforce their work product agreement and then management changes, a new greedier manager might decide to claim Alex’s 2D physics engine on the almost-zero chance it becomes useful to them in the future. Probably not the smartest move, possibly a totally legal move. (But what do I know, IANAL)

> principles of crypto finance

There isn't really such a think.

There are many crypto currencies with different goals and approaches to handling market dynamics. And there are some where doing such a think is fully against there principles and would brake their marked dynamics. But not necessary for other reasons. But this also means you need to look at the specific crypto system in question to decide why it might or might not work.

I don't know much about Tether specifically, but lets say you have a new arbitrary crypto currency you try to make price stable, but like many crypto currencies it end up having deflationary tendencies (more demand, money getting "locked" in, etc.). In which case minting new coins would not only be sustainable but likely necessary.

i work for an open source (AGPL) company, that uses one of my open source (MIT) projects as a core dependency. before i joined, i made sure that any code i write for my library continues to be MIT-licensed, no matter when and where i am writing it. additional code i write for the company also often starts out as a demo/PoC in my MIT repo, but is then adapted and extended into our AGPL codebase.

this, however, is likely a different arrangement than what you're describing as a loophole.
