> the “MAGA policies” were actually working and making Americans lives better

This is not a position that has a lot - if any - of support.

The MAGA policies (tradewars, build the wall and so on) as far as I can see materially degraded the lives of Americans. It was for the most part bluff and bluster and if anything it caused the outflow of people that had illegally immigrated to the United States to halt because those that were in the process of doing so perceived that even if it didn't improve things in the United States it would almost certainly make things worse in the countries that those immigrants were originally from.

The way to stop immigration is to raise the standard of life in the countries that people come from, not to build walls and to enact all kinds of idiotic measures to make it harder for other countries to import their goods. That just works towards the opposite. But Maga and logic never went hand in hand anyway.
I’m struggling to understand the scenario you’re describing. So the alarm goes off because an apartment is on fire. In response to this, everyone else waits until the fire brigade shows up to attempt to exit? I’m pretty sure if people are going to evacuate, they’ll do this in response to the alarm, and not wait and block the stairs. Also I’m pretty sure the fire brigade can tell them to get the out of the way to get up the stairs if necessary. How narrow are these stairs anyway? And why did everyone not evacuate before the fire brigade showed up?

I just find the “apartment on fire, but everyone is blocking the stairs so the fire brigade can’t get to the burning apartment” scenario to be far fetched. Are there documented cases of this? Because there is at least one documented case of people sheltering in place and the building burning around them.
I'll try the slack group, thanks!

I read through the logs and they didn't show anything very helpful. Every time I ran profiling tools on it, it never occurred so I haven't created a ticket yet ... :)
What you are essentially asking is for the 50W port to support 65W, or every single port to support 120W if it needs to be.

The answer isn't technical, but a question of BOM ( Bill of Material ) cost and go to market strategy.
>In 2017, only about 15% of vehicle trips in the US were taken for commuting

This describes commuting as a percentage of total trips, but it would be more useful to find the percentage of total vehicle miles traveled. I imagine that would be higher than 15%.

They are, and it’s horrible.

But they key difference is that you won’t really see anyone downplaying them or outright denying their existence.
even if that is true, it has nothing to do with how China does things. This is literally how the "whataboutism" got it's name, look it up.

This is great, because when I search something, can see a sentence in the search results relevant to my search, then click the link and cannot see the portion of the page relevant to the search, I can go to 12ft.io.

The showing of a special site to the search bot to add noise to search results and waste my time, I happily bypass with a clear conscience.

> though imo it's a deficiency of the language that custom objects don't have a repr which lists their attributes

It makes perfect sense that attributes be implementation details by default, and `@dataclass` is one of the ways to say they're not.

> eq is a property of the domain itself; two objects are only equal if it makes sense in the domain logic for them to be equal, and in many cases that equality is more or less complicated than attribute equality.

dataclass is intended for data holders, for which structural equality is an excellent default,

If you need a more bespoke business objects, then you probably should not use a dataclass.

I feel like the only people with an attitude against Microsoft these days are teenagers trying to look edgy and critical thinking or pretending they are insiders.

I don't work for Microsoft.
As for the tax game, that is something that has not happened. In my view, and in the view of a large section of the party in government, it will not. The government rhetoric to address regional inequality and to address long term issues with health and old age provision that have not been addressed. These are things that could have an affect on whether they get re-elected. That and government office parties during covid lockdown
a kernel panic is sometimes the right thing. "you are doing a bad thing; I quit" is a valid response in extreme circumstances. turning off the page file in Windows in 2021 is an extreme circumstance.

a requirement of the kernel is that there is virtual memory space. the page file is part of what enables that on Windows.

on Win 8.0 (I think) and before, the page file was nowhere nearly as vital, and you could turn it off in certain situations. an educated user could use their knowledge to know when it was ok to turn it off.

new versions of Windows change many things; they are not simple reskins of previous windows versions. the kernel and low level stuff changes a lot, version to version. knowledge that was valid in Windows XP is very likely no longer valid on Windows 10 or 11, and certainly is no longer valid in all situations.

keep your knowledge up to date. even things that appear to change relatively slowly, such as Windows, experience a lot of churn at lower levels. the APIs may not change, but their implementations often do.
I’d do it slowly by tainting certain known addresses, money laundering, tax evasion, terrorism, scams etc. It splits the world into tainted coin and untainted, all regulated exchanges will be unable to accept tainted coin. Then expand what gets tainted to include coin with unknown provenance. Also you can get tainted if you send to a tainted address so you have to be careful who you send it to. Then when the details of who is on both sides of the transaction are known I would tax it. Anyone who doesn’t pay gets tainted.

I would also secretly run tumbling services....

After running a publicly massive campaign against bitcoin et al, I would allow conversion to a fed coin for anyone who can prove the coins were legitimately acquired. The conversion rate would be set favorably to the govt. Anyone who complains gets investigated.

This is my favorite part of the culture change which is happening at Microsoft.

We are still working on it. And, it will take time.

Jeff's team, my team, the java team whose forked repo this unintentionally highlighted are working with dozens of other teams every week. Satya says we're all in on open source.

Hold Jeff and Me and all the leaders of Microsoft to that vision. Keep us accountable. And, know this takes time. Let's make technology and humanity healthier and more sustainable in 2022.
Different use cases I suppose. Another 114kb would double our bandwidth costs and drive away customers since they pick our product for being small.

Yeah, welcome is relative (also why I used “allowed” instead). I think you’re likely right.
As a neurotypical, I hear all the time from others (especially coworkers in the field of IT) saying they're "a little autistic", at least to me these people clearly have done some research to conclude they can relate in some dimensions to clinical autism, not a confabulation made in-the-moment as a desperate and failed attempt to relate to someone who has to actually live with ASD. It really does linger in the mind of these people and they want to let others know about this important factoid about their personality as much as any other important point about them and their past. I agree, let them have it, but we should also have a social script when talking with people who live with ASD so we don't have individuals getting upset when the goal might have actually been to be vulnerable and open to sharing about themselves.

Also, it appears all experts in the field believe ASD comes from assortive mating (people with similar genes that affect social function tend to come together). There should be resources for these people who think they're "a little autistic" and have clearly researched the topic to determine if it's safe for them to have children or if adoption is more appropriate. It's an unfortunate state of affairs but the experts are pointing to ASD as preventable, if you think you're almost on the spectrum and married to someone similar to yourself, consider researching the topic of "autism and assortive mating".

The more open we are to talking about being "almost on the autism spectrum" and the more informed we are the better we all are!

Im going to assume this wasn't intenional but it came off as a little negative given the rest of the positivity in this sweet message.

It just got me thinking about underpaid educators and childcare workers who for the most part are off today. Really everyone, we're all in this together right? Keeping this whole crazy machine running for each other.

Regardless this was a nice thing to see bubble up today, merry christmas HN!

They are unlikely to move from this position.
British common law and business friendly environments are utterly irrelevant to Euro clearing, and where the EU lets it happen.

London is no longer in the EU and that's all there is to it. Moving this business to EU locations is only a matter of time and orderly transition.
This cannot be overstated - the uplifting effect of the written word feels much more potent than hearing it from a friend or scouring YouTube videos.

I have found this book (https://tinyurl.com/4k27x6s9) to be a wonderful resource. I know there are many more to recommend, but I would start with the basics.

*EDIT - spelling.
Exactly. The degree to which the Scottish and the Northern Irish situation challenge the integrity of the UK has not been seen since the Good Friday Agreement. Risking the stability of the UK to such a degree was highly irresponsible.

And they actually discourage larger teams than 2 from applying.

So that's probably the rationale behind this number.
I'm really sorry you had to deal with this during the festive period.

I certainly understand how scandalous this looks to crowds like Hacker News.

But this seems a little bit blown out of proportion, as if Microsoft just forked the kernel or something and put their name on the license.
None, because that issue is hotly contested. This issue is not contested; there is no denial from them on this issue. If they are doing something wrong they know that it is wrong. Meanwhile they think this is something they can get away with openly.

I hope this clears up the confusion. There is no selectivity here.
> Dude, why are you so stubborn?

Personal attacks not appreciated here

> Have you ever tried to learn those languages?

Yes? I grew up with both Chinese and English? What gave you the impression I was saying stuff out of nowhere?

> Do you really think that learning 20~30 simple characters is on the same level of difficulty as learning 2000~4000 characters, some of them very complex?

Yes. I'm happy to elaborate as to why I think so but if you're only going to stand on the opposite side and not interested in even trying to understanding my perspective it's a waste of time on my part.

> a set of 2136 which is considered the minimum to function in modern society

For an adult, fine, but (a) "number of characters remembered" not a good way to measure the ability to function, any more than "number of SAT/GRE words memorized" to an English speaker, and (b) to function at an 8-year-old level in society you most definitely don't need 2136 characters.

An 8-year-old in an English speaking country would trip up trying to read The Economist as well.
An illegal referendum is likely to suffer from turnout problems and not likely to give the holders the fillip they wish for. Risky, as I said.
That's a great resource, but not a miracle cure for ignorance or magic pill for knowledge and skill.

If you're actually serious about learning to program, then it's going to take more than a few minutes of your life to learn.

But if you can't stomach investing more than a few minutes in learning to program in JavaScript or any other programming language, then you should really find something else do to with your extremely limited time.

Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years, by Peter Norvig:

https://norvig.com/21-days.html

The last time I posted a link to this important essay, impatient people who weren't very serious about investing any time in learning or reading simply and immediately responded to the title, but didn't bother to actually follow the link or read and respond to any of Peter Norvig's brilliant essay (and probably didn't even know who he was), so here is an excerpt.

>Researchers (Bloom (1985), Bryan & Harter (1899), Hayes (1989), Simmon & Chase (1973)) have shown it takes about ten years to develop expertise in any of a wide variety of areas, including chess playing, music composition, telegraph operation, painting, piano playing, swimming, tennis, and research in neuropsychology and topology. The key is deliberative practice: not just doing it again and again, but challenging yourself with a task that is just beyond your current ability, trying it, analyzing your performance while and after doing it, and correcting any mistakes. Then repeat. And repeat again. There appear to be no real shortcuts: even Mozart, who was a musical prodigy at age 4, took 13 more years before he began to produce world-class music. In another genre, the Beatles seemed to burst onto the scene with a string of #1 hits and an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. But they had been playing small clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg since 1957, and while they had mass appeal early on, their first great critical success, Sgt. Peppers, was released in 1967.

This essay is a classic that's been discussed on HN numerous times:

> makes it very likely that it was an honest mistake.

I don’t have any doubt that it was an honest mistake. They also took accountability for the mistake, shared their steps to prevent it from happening again, and they’re in contact with the original repo author directly.

At this point, anyone digging for excuses to further demonize Microsoft isn’t interested in honest discussion about this issue. This is a textbook mistake followed by rapid resolution (on Christmas Day, no less), with great communication on top.

London blocking Scotland from doing a democratic act would not go over well there. It would harden nationalistic sentiment.

What happens if Scotland insists on going ahead anyway? It would be messy. London's leverage is limited there.

I know. The title is cheesy and melodramatic. But this book was really helpful in shaping some of my worldview.

This book goes vehemently against the "discovery" of "passion", and instead provides some practical insights on how to do work that you will love. Or how to reach there.

Are they deliberately getting their modifications under an pseudo-incompatible* license? This is the only reasonable explanation I can think of.

* IANAL. Although Apache 2.0 and MIT are compatible, using a different license makes it awkward for changes to be merged upstream.
Yeah, sales person! An introductory or formative period will be surely needed, possibly keeping you busy for a few months or even a couple years in order to have that job growing into you… but once you are at ease with the attitude, the techniques and the tricks, you will have a looooot of margin to accommodate any assignment as you like, because any employer will reward you for sales, not billed hours. Salesmen are the most paid people in any industry, and they often carry a leisure life through events (fairs, conferences, meetings) and networking.

Yes, COVID has served as a nice distraction and scapegoat. It couldn't have been timed better from that perspective, but the end result is that the UK now has two major challenges to deal with.
Shout out to a fellow Renegade sysop. I don't believe I asked for anybody's home address, but maybe I've just forgotten. In the town where I lived, most of the BBS people knew each other, plus everyone was in the phone book anyway, so it wouldn't have made a ton of difference.

But I agree that I was so much less concerned about privacy back then. Likely that was out of ignorance, but also because the threat to privacy is different on the internet. In a widely networked world, the .001% of people who are malicious actors still amount to a huge number of malicious actors that didn't exist in a community of a couple hundred people.
I agree with @tinco. If you're doing Ruby development that is not Rails, you probably want to create a gem with Bundler. I'd check out their documentation on the subject which has some good information: https://bundler.io/guides/creating_gem.html. I'd also checkout https://www.learnenough.com/ruby. I haven't walked through the course, but Michael Hartl has been providing Ruby related learning materials for a long time and is a fairly trusted name in the community. I'm sure it's solid.
The “Yzena Copyleft License” states that it's a copyleft license, but it also states that it's not a viral license. According to Wikipedia, a viral license and a copyleft license are the same thing.
What happened here was obviously a mistake. The thread is full of lurid accusations, because those are fun to write and talk about, but it shouldn't take even a minute's thought to see how dumb a heist this would have been.

The thread would have been a lot more fun if we could have spent it talking about what prompted your team to build this thingy, and bounce other people's approaches to the same problem off, and maybe share some war stories about dumb things bots have done on our behalf.

Thanks, regardless, for the information you've provided here. It's interesting.

This is a point echoed by professors I've met as well. The complexity of biological systems is quite hard to understate. There's such an immense amount of detail and almost none of it can be written off an unimportant.
Because trade only really works if there's balance and bilateral rules.

Opening your nation to trade, while the other does not, and does things like subsidize their companies to put yours out of business, is not good.

The US should probably play tit-for-tat and ban an arbitrary Chinese company for every US company banned by China.

That way, China understands at least the repressions.

Of course, that policy might not work, as it would just spiral up into a big 'ban fest', but you get the idea.

Banning games is a funny thing, people like games. People are going to be upset.

When people are playing games, they are not agitating.

When people are bored, they think about things like politics.
