> Many people at my employer are primarily green or blue.

They are not. They are like everyone, impatient and loving, violent and helpful, worried and self-assured. The article is very clear that what seems to matter is CONTEXT and we all can understand it.

I'll explain patiently to my kid something I'd literally tear a new one for a senior colleague.

So no your colleagues don't have personality colors, but the organization molds from them certain behaviors that are either helpful to navigate it or to tolerate it. I worked in both startups and giga bank, I can tell you I'm not the same person in both styles of companies...
You're being downvoted for no reason I can tell, other than the fact that NewsBuster is a source popular with right-wing audiences. There are people on HN who basically will downvote anything they perceive as being supportive of their political enemies, with no regard to the content of the message. Message to those downvoting this:

If your position on free speech changes depending on who is doing the moderating, you don't have a position on free speech.
Snopes has never really been credible beyond their original domain of looking into urban legends and chain mail forwarded by your aunt and uncle.

They are also guilty of massive plagiarism, and heavy revision of articles without any notice. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/13/business/media/snopes-pla...

But the other fact checkers aren't much better. The Washington Post (in particular Kessler himself) are some of the worst in my opinion.
>Putting a device into homes that is voice activated, unlocked and usable by anybody capable of speech carries with it some duty of care not to, you know, tell kids to play with mains power.

I agree. That's why we should have mandatory faceID on smartphones/tablets/computers/books, so we can positively identify the user's age before allowing access to it. If you fail the age test, your access will be restricted to kid-friendly websites with curated content.
Right, I understand that, but this just gets back to my question of "what qualifies as an incompatible version?". Clearly 1.1.X and 1.2.0 are compatible in the sense that they still expose the same ABI for 32-bit time_t, and thus programs compiled against 1.1.X will still work with 1.2.0. But as the musl devs identified time_t is commonly used in lots of other places besides libc, so in practice this change requires recompiling all code against 1.2.0 to ensure it is using the right size of time_t, else you might have have programs attempt to communicate with each-other using different sizes.

My question is then is this an "incompatible" release or not? From the version number alone I would have assumed 1.2.0 doesn't require a full recompile of everything, but the commenter I responded to suggested it is 'incompatible' and I don't understand why that is the case with feature releases. Do you need to recompile the world for every musl update and ensure everything is compiled against exactly the same version? Or just the feature version has to match?

Do fact-checks work? That is, if they fact-check an article claiming that Bush did 9/11, are there significant amounts of people who say "oh, I thought he did. But I guess not, thanks, fact checkers"?

The things that get fact checked tend to be more tribal, so most people either believe it or not, and tend to understand the fact-checkers as mostly biased against them if they don't agree with the result. Fact-checking is pretty useless in that situation, and people will start considering it as a biased tool ("they only fact-check what my side is saying and start splitting hairs, but they never fact-check what the other side is saying"). I don't think you can solve a tribal conflict by trying to present selected facts.
Physics doesn’t make this impossible, but it’s _enormously_ expensive to get payload to L2.
EDIT: hello fellow hunter2

I’m not a right winger, conservative, or whatever. I’m more “leftist” than the average person, so I’m assuming I’m more “leftist” than the average fact checker. That doesn’t mean I’m absent of biases towards things that are not true.

The fact checkers are not using the scientific method or any sort of standard based one evidence to make their determinations. They’re using politically aligned news sources and their own opinions.

I’ve not yet seen any news by CNN or MSNBC or any other “reputable” news source be fact checked even though I know they regularly mislead and lie (maybe they have been and I’ve missed it - would love to see that). I’ve seen obvious bullshit by conservative media outlets be fact checked. And I’ve seen cases like this article where actual facts are superseded by political opinion.

I’m not advocating for avoiding a truth bias, but that’s not what’s present. We can act all high and mighty and pretend like the left is guided by science, but it isn’t. We’re guided by what our side says is true and don’t question it and don’t look at the science. When someone actually looks at the science and negates what our side says, we fact-check it and say it’s misinformation.

If the wisdom of the classics stopped being applicable to modern times then they would die out and stop being read. So, only the observations remain that are most stable, general, and enduring over time.
On iOS, opening up saved passwords just uses firefox's password manager. On the desktop, I just open up firefox's password page. It's always running anyway.

In the context of this article -- it's mostly just talking about Python-specific ASTs.

Reading this article might be confusing to someone who's trying to learn what an AST is. ASTs are not unique to Python, they're just a common data structure used in compiler design.

ASTs are used by compilers like this:

1) A compiler will take source code and process it into little pieces called tokens (e.g., a number, an equals sign, a variable type, etc) with a little program called a "lexer".

2) Then, those tokens are processed by a "parser" -- which is a little program that inputs the tokens from the lexer, as well as a description of a programming language (e.g. a Chomsky context-free grammar in Backus Naur Form) and outputs an AST.

3) Then finally, the AST nodes are walked and machine code is generated.

This article hooks into the AST inside the Python "compiler" between steps 2 and 3 to do some analysis on the AST instead of converting it to something that can be executed (e.g. machine code or some other IR). Which, is a very useful thing, but probably not a good introduction to compilers.

If you're new to compilers, I suggest staying away from the Python "ast" module until you're comfortable with general compiler design. Maybe start with playing around with something like PLY instead -- create a simple little language yourself and write a compiler for it:

As a 35+ year software engineer with a very strong networking background I cannot understand why anyone would put anything in the cloud. The likelihood of me getting hacked is pretty rare. I'm just not that important. Now put me on a server with dumb/non-tech savy rich important bankers, politicians and celebrities on a publicly accessible network and I am a target. So stupid. What's even dumber is that people pay for this service!

If I do the math right, that’s like $5k/month or more. I doubt many recreational users consume that much. Not for long anyway.
> It's downright silly to pay new employees more than experienced employees for similar jobs. If you can't afford to raise wages for the experienced staff you'll soon have a bunch of inexperienced staff that costs you more.

I agree, but the reality is that raising salaries across the board would kill the company immediately, while having ONLY inexperienced staff might happen, and even if it did, it only might kill the company.

Another factor is that a lot of the staff just won't move, even if they know they are being paid less.
> Digital assets aided in stopping a predatory crime this year.

I saw you make that claim but that's too vague to evaluate whereas what Nagle described has been well covered for many years and even the Bitcoin salespeople rarely argue that it's commonplace. Even with the extra two paragraphs you added later there's no way to know what this meant, what fraction of the total Bitcoin usage it accounted for, etc.

> These comments never mention the continual reigning supremacy of the US dollar for crime, ever, and never provide any evidence that bitcoin has a higher crime usage ratio than the dollar with less prosecutability.

This is incorrect, and the need for the counterfactual narrative is telling: this comes up frequently and it's usually mentioned in the context of the larger economy. Nobody says that the U.S. dollar isn't used by criminals but it's trivially easy to show enormous amounts of real, non-criminal economic activity — nobody thinks, say, drug cartels are tiny but there's no serious argument that they're anywhere near a majority of the legal economy. If you want to address this claim, try highlighting examples of real economic activity using Bitcoin — real businesses which are not selling Bitcoin. If USD (or just Visa/Mastercard, Paypal, etc.) activity suddenly halted, a ton of people would be unable to engage in their daily business — can you provide any examples of similar Bitcoin dependencies?

> Younger technologists have considerably less opportunity than we did, not more, and the frontier is much smaller. Ruthless negativism doesn't serve them.

I agree that the landscape isn't as good as it used to be but I don't think it's helpful to steer people into false hopes, either. Bitcoin has an inherent conflict of interest built-in since all of the people who've poured money into it for the last decade will have to write that off if they can't find buyers. That lack of utility is the real problem and calling it FUD won't solve it.
Theoretically you could maintain a state of being prepared for war without running around the world cracking skulls and making everyone hate and distrust you.
How are you not double counting your time?

Regardless of how you spend your hour, it still costs them $45/hr for you. If $7.50 of that is paying for idle time, that's still part of the $45, it doesn't get added again. If they could save those 10 minutes, that would just make you more productive and allow them to reach $45/hr easier.
Things you have to use email for:

* applying for jobs

* getting covid tests/vaccines

* buying virtually anything online

* interacting with the government online (I needed to provide an email address to update my driver's license and vehicle registration)

* opening a bank account

* renting an apartment

These are important things, so we might as well have some guaranteed way to access these services. Especially because you need an email to interact with a lot of government services.
You're misunderstanding the SSPL: if you're delivering an email service (not a database service) then you can do whatever you want

If the army and navy did get along (and famously they certainly did not) wouldn’t the same problem that necessitated war have occurred? Assuming Japan still invades China and gets hooked on waging war there they still face a supply problem when the Americans stop selling supplies to Japan. Are you thinking Japan does not get sucked into a protracted conflict with China in a world where the navy and army get along?
The 6-year-old in the story was presumably led to believe that Santa can visit every house in the world in one night. Logically, normal human limitations (like a finite capacity to eat cookies) do not apply to Santa.
Additionally the apprenticeship way was open to 'lower' educational tiers. Nowadays you often need a good high school education for jobs that some years back were clearly open to pupils with a so called 'Realschulabschluss'.

I would also add that we have the highly theoretical universities and the Universities of Applied Sciences. Later ones are more practically oriented.

Having studied at a "regular" university and watched people study at an Applied Sciences University, I believe that the later is better grounded in reality.
Truth that never changes is not beneficial for planning. I recommend you find a more useful, relative truth.

Don't get me wrong, it's important you know the real truth, but that isn't often the one you gain much from promoting.

Promoting actual truth can be rather damming at times.

The argument would be along the lines of "It will stifle debate and silence voices on topics outside the orthodox view. A simple glance through the history of science shows many ideas now regarded as fact were initially heretical and outside the mainstream. Open discussion of controversial ideas is healthy."

which is obviously reasonable. However it needs to be balanced against the other problem we face - widespread dissemination of inflammatory misinformation, in many cases by nation states deliberately sowing dissent.

> There is a fairly big difference, you are decrypting a local file using a master password NOT stored on the internet.

That's the same thing that LastPass does AFAIK. According to their site:
"Your data is encrypted and decrypted at the device level. Data stored in your vault is kept secret, even from LastPass. Your master password, and the keys used to encrypt and decrypt data, are never sent to LastPass’ servers, and are never accessible by LastPass."

So they pull down the encrypted vault to the local machine before decrypting it, it's never on the wire in an unencrypted form, nor keys leave your local machine.... which is essentially exactly the same thing that you do with 1Password + Dropbox for sync, just in one service. (At least that's my understanding, I might be interpreting the LastPass statements wrong, in which case please do correct me.)

I don't care what CDC reps cited in a single presser.

I understand that other people wearing a mask is a hardship on some people (including the hard of hearing). While I sympathize, and certainly will make an effort to speak slower/louder/crisper, I'm not going to remove my mask in a public space so you can understand me. I wonder if the hearing aid business has been doing gangbusters since the pandemic started.
By how much? Logically, the fair amount to raise rates would be the amount that compensated for their increased risk of doing it again. There you are, doing a risk analysis.

(If you had them directly pay for the damage they caused, that wouldn't be insurance, that would be a middle man for restitution.)
Man, the number of people here arguing that parents should not let their children use Alexa, or that Amazon bears no responsibility for it presenting factually incorrect answers to questions really makes me worried about the future of our industry…

Have the people commenting used a voice assistant? There’s a very clear difference to even (or, given the weirdly unintuitive opinions here, maybe especially) a casual user between returning search results and using information gathered from them to directly answer a question.

The difference is there even when interacting with humans - it’s the difference between “I read an article about that once, let me find it so you can read it too” and “The answer to your question is X”.
Doctors are essentially useless after graduating medical school and only reach professional proficiency after running the gauntlet of years of intense hands-on medical residency training (where there are more mistakes made than is generally polite to admit). Ask a doctor about this, literally any doctor.
I know many heavy and moderate recreational ketamine users and 90g is completely absurd.the really heavy users I know go through a gram per day max. During parties or festivals it can be more. Not to say that there isn't a big difference to therapeutic use.
I am not in love with Moldbug or other ideologues who would like to throw us into the sausage machine of history -- mostly, I think, because they're bored and impatient for something cool to happen. All I want from my government is to let me live my life and prevent especially horrible things from happening. For this value system, constitutional liberal democracy is the safest bet. Things will get better as humans themselves slowly improve.
Why don't they ever seem to link it?

but no link. I assume the author at least read the abstract, so it seems it would be essentially effortless to add for the obviously minority of readers that care.
Senators are old but many of their staffers are young, underpaid, and, through their job, well-connected to industry. Perfect recipe for a revolving door.
Maybe they should stop calling themselves fact checkers and use a label like "our thoughts on this issue" like most people do when giving their opinion. Elevating their opinion to the level of fact is arrogant and antisocial. Don't understand why anyone would defend this other than perhaps a belief that the "fact" checkers will always be inclined to "fact" check in favor of their ideological bias. History shows monsters rarely obey their creators once they get powerful enough to break free of the creator's control.
Aren’t they windmills? I’m not familiar with this being derogatory. It’s all I can think to call them.
I appreciate the discourse but I think we’re going in circles. On a slightly related point, you should check out CPG grey’s video “rules for rulers”. That video helped me understand why our tax codes are so complicated in the states.

My (unprofessional) opinion is that the messy tax structure is there by design, and not the result of incompetence or oversight.

I think there are plenty of far more “BS” jobs out there than book keepers. Companies wouldn’t be able to function without them.

CDC does admit things like that, and changes its advice all the time based on evolving facts. Every day, practically.

Which is why they have 100x more credibility than some uncredentialed anti-masker with an axe to grind.
I think this ignores the fact that the "tribes" are dynamic. People join, leave, sub-groups form etc. Nobody was born believing in Pizzagate. People with more moderate views can become radicalized and leaving misinformation unchallenged must at least sometimes contribute to this.
>If they revised last week's figure from 73% to 22% (!!!!!!! Seriously WTF?!?!?) I think we have to assume the CDC's method is crap and should be ignored going forward.
Fact checking as it is currently practiced is counter-productive: unknowable things are called "facts", and "pinocchios" are given even if you're factually correct just because (being charitable myself here) the checker things you're not being charitable enough to their political faction.

No, I have been WFH since March of 2019 and it hasn't changed anything. My wife and I have even purchased a house in that time and we only looked at homes within about a 35 minute drive of my office in the event I get recalled to working in the office.
This is what we have at the University of Waterloo, my alma mater, in Canada. Two semesters of study, then alternating study-work-study-work etc until you graduate. It takes five years instead of four and you graduate with industry contacts, virtually no debt, and a couple years of experience. Plus the time you did spend in class or at the lab was coloured in from your work experience and your teammates could be leagues ahead of you at one specific speciality that they focussed on during their last semester. The program is so successful that some departments like Engineering mandate it. There is no non-coop engineering degree from Waterloo.
Why? Related to them, sure, but not descended directly from that 'set of people' versus a different branch from common ancestors, i.e. their cousins.
OK so this is an anti-religion thing? Because mindfulness and meditation, while linked with religion, does not require the religious aspect to function. I mean hell, Buddhism doesn't have a God, nor (depending on the sect) any supernatural elements.

You can be skeptical all you want, but rejecting practices purely because they started out with religious explanations is just as irrational as accepting them because of those same reasons. Many medicines are based on natural substances that were initially based on traditional and herbal remedies and I'm sure they were originally given religious explanations - religion was basically the stopgap explanation for anything we didn't understand back in ancient history.

And for what it's worth, I'm a radical materialist.
