> If this in true then why do so few projects use a mailing list nowadays instead of something like github.

Lot's of projects use mailing lists. Lot's of projects use web-based git hosting services. Lot's of projects mix.

Why do people just use GitHub? Because it requires zero configuration and it's convenient when you're developing something yourself.

The Linux Kernel is by far the worlds largest open source project. Consider that it might have different needs.

>> Every machine can do plaintext email.

> Every machine can do web browsing too.

You're missing the point.
A web interface is more complex than plaintext emails.
To integrate into your shell environment is a lot more complicated.

> More people have used a web browser on their computer than a dedicated email client (as opposed to a web app like gmail).

I don't understand your point.

>> As opposed to login into to a bespoke web interface

> You have to log in to email too.

The emphasis was on bespoke web interface, not logging in.

>>mainly primarily designed to be friendly to novice users.

>What's wrong with that?

Fast and flexible are sacrificed. Ie. it's more convenient for the people who don't use the system all the time (people filing bug-reports) vs. the people who actually use it all the time (maintainers)

> yes I have set up a mailing list for a project I made and no one e ended up using it except for me

a tad different use-case to the development of the linux kernel it seems

> Meanwhile I had much more success with getting people to join and discuss the project via Discord

Whatever works for your project bro.
I would definitely sign up for a neighborhood homeschooling group
Could very well be that the cause wasn't Covid but a deferred procedure. In that case Covid would probably be a secondary cause.

I still think this needs further analysis. Perhaps the countermeasures were also part of the problem.
I mean the solution is straightforward: do what you want, just do it to (at least) minimum code.

Hire someone if you’re not interested in taking the time to learn what minimum code is. It’s not particularly complex and is generally intuitive, but every line is written in blood.

If you are interested, just start with each component. Building a powered workshop is not fundamentally different from building a house, and that’s not recommended for a first project.

Tackle one subsystem at a time. Replace some flooring, some siding, add a receptacle, etc.

Each one will let you learn best practices and minimum code for each part, and put you on the right path.

> However, it's hard to learn without spending time committing content to memory, which reading a book does well due to the apparent large amount of filler content. Perhaps re-reading a summary multiple times can have a similar effect.

Or, even better, you can read the book and prepare a summary just like the OP. Reading - the book, the summary, or both - is mostly a passive activity.

The Demise of Scientific American
A lack of correlation definitely does not mean causation, and they never found any relevant evidence of CoV-2 transmission in the wet market. They also never found cases of Covid prior to November 2019, which would mean this virus somehow became an extremely good for for human transmission within weeks of making the jump.
It extracts the metadata, but not the body, yes. Retrieved websites are generally frowned upon in my field (medicine, virology), and that's why I never really needed this. We're pandoc-ing our internal MD files to PDF and attach them to the relevant HTML pages, which makes this somewhat a crutch but circumvents the "9 out of ten reviewers hate websites" problem.
What is the relevance of this whataboutism? Some other industries have bad or worse interview practices as well. That doesn't make this process good. What is the point you're trying to make?

Its immature to think we can do better because others have it worse? Rubbish.
Not an anti-vaxxer, but comments like this are even better antivaxx fodder :)

I understand where you are coming from, but the ultimate goal is to stop COVID, not get everyone a jab in the arm. If the jabs (legitimately) stop working we should stop the jabs. Compliance with COVID rules isn't a goal unto itself.

Vacccinating mice is a fun idea to think about, but you'd have to develop vaccines for squirrels, raccoons, and pigeons shortly after the mouse one. Also think about all the unintended consequences (your food vaccine getting into waterways, for example). So yeah, this is the kind of idea that makes antivaxxers look sane.
It's crazy how these people position themselves like they're a legitimate business. They even have a support chat service - incredible!
Yes, and I've been asking this question for some time after seeing the Danish data. The vaccinated are overrepresented by a large amount. Something close to 90% of Omicron infections are in the vaccinated while they are about 75% of the population. About 8.5% are in unvaccinated.

I don't believe this can be due to different behaviour or restrictions on unvaxxed because society is open if you have a negative test.

Very interesting. It's almost as if this experiment is having unforseen consequences XD
Oh, ok sorry. Better to say that for reasons known only to Twitter, some people may need to be logged in to see this.
Ask HN: What’s the origin of the phrase “Don’t feed the trolls?”
It’s one of the best things that’s ever come out of the internet. But where was it first stated and how did it propagate through communities to become common wisdom?

From what I can tell, it seems to come from an Oscar Wilde quote. But I’m curious about where and how it was first applied to online discourse?
If Trump was a "mainstream" politician, then identifying him by name for a crisis which started under his watch wouldn't send everyone into a flurry. Bush, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama - they are all referred to by name for things which happened under their administrations, and which they said during them. As is Biden. That's normal.
I like it, this will certainly help speed up kernel builds on slow computing platforms such as the raspberry pi which can take hours if you can't cross compile.

i.e. the users of my search engine are not helping me well enough for me to do my job.

> NL queries return poor results if the content creator didn't create it with searchers in mind.

i.e. the content creators from 30 years ago where not clairvoyant enough to consider the robot crawling needs I have, in order to do my job.

> Most of these sites also often have a very poor UX.

i.e. the content creators I am indexing just have plain text which is not helping me well enough, for me to do my job.

I wonder if there is ever an instance wherein google employees are able to look within and realize there is work to be done rather than blame external constraints. Specially when other search engines are still able to satisfy exotic/technical/archive queries, despite these external constraints.

Google had a mission to organize the world's information and make it accessible. It seems Alphabet has rewritten it to "organize the world's information"... "for popular stuff, especially when there's commercial intent".
Oh wow. That’s goatse spectrum too.

It isn't "telling them what to do"; it's basic professionalism.

If someone has cleared their day to come into your office and talk to you -- you should respect their time. Don't make them guess at the goalposts, don't use implicit or hidden metrics. If they ask you what the expected latency is for an API response, or whether they should worry about hostile string injection attacks -- just tell them.

As you would in a normal, respectful, professional setting.
This honestly just sounds like you dislike modern society and have serious misgivings about what mental illness does to people. Your list of behaviors illustrates this:

- Sleep small amounts of absurd hours
A small amount of research will let you know this isn't necessarily a sign of depression, even if you witness it in others. Many folks sleep entirely too much instead. Not only that, but this is easily something other life things do: Having an infant, for example, or working long hours at a stressful job or having a health issue. Heck, if you only see them once a month, a woman's hormone cycle could do this.

- Eat junk foods
Sometimes, but that's because depression robs folks of energy and motivation. Junk food is better than nothing at all. But more to the point, it is really common for normal folks to eat junk food. Just have a busy schedule or live in the Midwest.

- Spend all their time on video games, YouTube, TV shows, social media
This isn't a sign of depression because it is normal in society. Signs point to such folks spending the time differently.

- No exercise
So, basically normal. Exercise isn't a cure-all, and not everyone can afford things like safe areas outdoors nor proper shoes.

- Take substances such as caffeine or other recreational drugs
Coffee sells really well, as does tea. I'm awfully sure that this isn't a sign of depression. I'll add that loads of folks take recreational drugs - most popularly, pot/hash and alcohol - that aren't mentally ill.

It doesn't matter if it isn't easy for you: Depression makes those things more difficult. No one said it was easy.
I've read that the spike protein changed in this variant.

I thought that would be unlikely since it was a key feature of this virus.

So I guess it makes sense that current vaccines are much less efficient if the spike changed.
With Southern France and maybe Paris being the exceptions, the eating habits of the average Frenchman are closer to those of the English and the American than to those of the Southern European.

Said that, obesity is largely a problem of the Anglo-sphere, it has many causes, including a severe lack of food culture (eg adults who think it’s proper to eat candy bars or to eat at McDonald’s). It is not inevitable that the horrid American food habits will become the norm everywhere, the US is not the teleos history is moving towards.

Can we also talk about the dumpster fire that is YouTube?

I look up anything news related and the entire first few pages are Foxx/Murdoch and whatever other batsh*t content I don't want to see.

I cannot block channels from my search results and I have hardly any control of the content I see. I can't organise subscriptions by folder, I am inundated by "YouTube shorts".

Worst of all, I have a legacy YouTube account with a failed "gaia migration" that I cannot delete because the migration somehow failed and I can't access the content. I have tried contacting their support staff and they told me they couldn't help. It's been 6 years and they haven't been able to do anything about it.

Amazon, Microsoft, Apple - please make a competition service to YouTube focused on the viewer's experience.
I knew a Western guy who ran tours inside NK. He gave tourists the government-sanctioned version, but he told me because they trusted him he had way more freedom than most Westerners and had traveled solo extensively through the country.
Please, let's not try doing Marek's disease in humans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek%27s_disease

"The evolution of Marek's disease due to vaccination has had a profound effect on the poultry industry. All chickens across the globe are now vaccinated against Marek's disease (birds hatched in private flocks for laying or exhibition are rarely vaccinated). Highly virulent strains have been selected to the point that any chicken that is unvaccinated will die if infected.[14] Other leaky vaccines are commonly used in agriculture. One vaccine in particular is the vaccine for avian influenza. Leaky vaccine use for avian influenza can select for virulent strains.[15]"

I wasn't talking about domain-specific search engines. I was trying to say that if we had multiple competing search engines, with different ranking algorithms, then gaming the algorithm would be less effective.
Honest question: what social security hole are we talking about here? What kind of fraud? The gross majority of the social charges of a large company depend on employee wages. Having worked for a few CAC40 companies, knowing the makeup of their workforce, and looking at their public financial data, the numbers seem square.

On the other hand, every day I see small businesses with significant undeclared revenue and obvious money laundering schemes going on. France makes it very easy to anonymously report all sorts of crimes, from domestic violence and child neglect to terrorism, but only a selected few can report to TRACFIN.

Personally I can't wait for France to adopt a fiscal data module like the Belgian HoReCa black-box [0], and given the overreaching arms of the French fisc I'm surprised it hasn't already.

The irony Herr is that its likely been so long that we won't find enough evidence to determine cause with high confidence.

The fact that a lab leak was even possible but it took over a year to get any researchers into the lab is a serious issue for data collection, not to mention the fact that the CCP got to pick those researchers and didn't share any lab records.

Its important that we learn from how this played out, but seems very unrealistic to think we could pinpoint the initial transmission event now.
> It's pretty obvious to interviewers if you've solved a problem before, and we appreciate the honesty.

> dishonesty is never a good fit.

If you rejected every such “dishonest candidate”, the paid services offering candidates practice questions would have gone out of business long ago.

Given the popularity of such services, have your considered the possibility that you overestimate your ability to spot candidates who have solved the problem previously?
From my experience, when you want to have 12 factor apps and just build your Frontend/backend once, and don’t want to leak absolute urls in the Frontend code, you are better of with relative URL’s anyways, i.e. /api for your api, and let a reverse proxy do the proper mapping to your services.

Then of course you don’t need CORS

> I know he’s likely to do a lot of damage to, for instance, Roe in the next year

It's difficult to predict which way a Supreme Court Justice will rule on "hot button" issues. However with John Roberts, you can see that he has been voting with the liberal wing of the Court more frequently as the newer Justices take the court more to the right.

If anything, it seems he is generally _not_ in favor of upsetting long standing precedents here. One might predict his vote will be to actually preserve the status quo on these "hot button" issues in the coming time.
There is no hierarchy in the varna system. The varna system as mentioned in the Zoroastrian Avesta has a lot of similarities with Vedic scriptures..neither mentions hierarchies.

Also..all Hindu gods are non-Brahmins..Rama was Kshatriya and Lakshmana’s mother Sumitra was a Shudra. Krishna was from a family of land owning cowherds. Many southern dynasties had Shudra kings esp in the south. Vishwamitra was a Kshatriya who became a Brahmin and parasurama was a Brahmin who became a warrior/Kshatriya. Valmiki who also wrote Ramayana that is read as a holy text in india today was a Hunter and a butcher.

The word ‘caste’ is from the Portuguese word ‘casta’ and a later invention.

I like that all this is discussed openly these days. Maybe people can be educated from the original texts and scriptures. Time to fix the colonial and invaders’ mischiefs.
We don't think enough about sustainability, about history. The Amiga uniquely exists as history by itself and lives on as a platform that eschews multi-gigabyte, multi-gigahertz requirements, yet can do amazingly modern things.

The hardware is wonderfully documented and easy to repair. My Amiga has been running for a quarter of a century now.

It depends on your definition of accessible. This is the tool kernel devs use, and that patch is intended for them. It's mostly a matter of getting used to it.

Github's user interface was scary at first for me, much more than a plain-text mail. So was GitLab.

Some people I know have complained to me that I send plain-text mails and that nobody wants to read a wall of text. I think that's probably a user issue, and it can in turn help filter low-effort comments.

If talking about a11y, plaintext mail ought to be one of the most accessible formats: high-contrast, can be processed by multiple tools including screen readers. ASCII art trough screenreaders is probably an exception.

Now, about your specific question: there's patchwork[1], though I don't think that instance covers the general LKML.

I think that is a big jump to make. There are no restrictions on the unvaxxed. We just have to get tested if we want to take part in society (go to bars, concerts, etc)

The Danish covid passport does not discriminate between vaccination and a negative test. Both give access to everything

Ironically, this means that lots of vaxxed people don't get tested anymore.
> which is in direct conflict with criterion (2) and which explains why employer-side ghosting is so widespread, along with other abusive practices like piling on lengthy take-homes, etc.

I don't think concerns about resource expenditure actually explain ghosting. I think that happens despite what the company would prefer, because the people involved find it unpleasant to notify candidates of a rejection.

Lengthy take-homes are easier to explain by reference to resource concerns.

Minimizing false positives is not a fundamental goal of interviewing -- accuracy is a goal in all settings, while minimizing false positives isn't. But minimizing resource expenditures is; you're right about that.
Its only irrelevant if that information wouldn't help avoid a future pandemic.

If it was a lab accident that's extremely important to know as we could easily mitigate (or eliminate) that risk. If it was zoological, there may be changes that could make that less likely. If it was a third cause that no one is even thinking about, that's even more important because it somehow was missed by everyone looking for the most likely cause.
I think it probably developed the other way around, same as the version information almost every DNS server uses.

The anti malware releases probably started out with definition version 1, 2, 3, and so on, until someone complained that version 37363 doesn't mean much. Some smart guy probably realised that as long as the numbers increased, they could put anything in there, so the 1201010000 version was born, incremented a day at a time.

As MXToolbox states:

> The serial number is an unsigned 32 bit value assigned to your SOA record must be between 1 and 4294967295. […] It has become common to set your serial number with a date format to make it easier to to manage. This format uses 10 digits to represent the date and then a two digit sequence number with the format of YYYYmmddss.

Do any SOA query against hosted DNS and you'll probably see exactly this pattern appear.

The fact they used a long go store the version also suggested that someone may not have realised that longs are the same size as its, depending on your platform and compiler. The effective distinction between the two in Microsoft's compiler ended in the 32 bit era, so using a long to store anything might be seen as a red flag.

Based on the fix linked, the current antimalware release seems to be based on December 33rd, 2021. That will buy them enough time to write a patch that just uses long longs for these timestamps, or if their customers don't like installing updates they might just go back to incrementing the number by one at some point.
It depends heavily on the page. I can personally provide an example of the "Men's rights movement" page. I used to be heavily involved in the movement with regards to parental custody. At least a decade ago, ideological moderators began applying extremely high standards for the page. Whole sections were removed and re-written. Their argument was that "these are the rules," and while technically true, the rules are diverse and opaque. They can be applied in many ways, depending on one's ideological alignment. I encourage you to take a look at the above page, and then contrast it with "Feminism." You'll notice a distinct difference to the breadth of content, the standard for citation, and especially the tone. For example, in the second paragraph on the "Men's rights movement" introduction, moderators have added an entire paragraph of criticism. You'll see no comparable criticism on the "Feminism" page in the introduction. More recently they added a "Not to be confused with the pro-feminist Men's liberation movement" at the very tippy top of the page to try to move traffic towards a feminist friendly page. No such suggestion appears on the "Feminism" page.

I could provide endless commentary on this example, but suffice it to say, it is very difficult to look at this comparison and rationally argue no moderation bias exists. Now consider that this is just one tiny corner of the site. This is happening to millions of pages. Larry Sanger, Wikipedia co-founder, has been very vocal about its political bias. I, for one, believe him.

I would say the world is full of people who are passionate about getting paid, which makes best course of action to be not doing a thing while convincing others you do, which IMO is harmful.
Unfortunately goal of interviews these days is to know what you don’t know, instead of what you know
