The labels applied to liberals here are ones with positive connotations, and the labels applied to conservatives have negative ones. One could choose other labels that make for a different obvious outcome.

Most political debates are more about straw-person demonization of the other side rather than understanding each others' underlying rationales, issues, or values. Understanding might not always lead to some great compromise, but it would still be helpful if the debate were elevated to the real issues instead of meaningless attack soundbites. Almost everyone in the media on both sides of any debate does understand the real issues, but chooses to pump ratings with soundbite attacks instead, to all of our detriment.

And to put some balance on your critique of conservatism:

Small-c conservatism has a positive purpose in the government of a nation - it's the impulse to not change things; to value stability. Whatever we're doing now, however stupid it may seem on the surface, is what got us this far. There's no guarantee the latest radical new idea which sounds great on its surface won't cause an unforeseen long-term fallout that wrecks society. The world isn't a science lab or a startup: the lives and happiness of millions are at stake with every decision. There's a liberal impulse to fix everything that looks wrong with bold new ideas, and a balancing conservative impulse to avoid making sweeping changes to the machinery of society without a lot of time and care.

The extremes of both impulses, unchecked, are not healthy. A government which is extremely conservative never rights the wrongs of the past or improves the lives of its citizens, or even reacts to obvious changes in the natural world or other competing societies. It's locked in stasis, and thus is doomed to decline. On the other end of things, a great example of the potential horror of government being too liberally-bold with new ideas would be China's Great Leap Forward, which I would humbly summarize as an attempt to swiftly enact radical changes to a society, which sadly and unintentionally caused a famine which killed millions.

I would love Firefox Sync too, but a lot of times it just doesn't send the tab I wanted (I always fallback to checking what is open on my other browser).
> I always thought it just needs a bit more attention, and I'm willing to donate, but I don't trust Mozilla for routing what we give towards Firefox development.

In fact if they cannot avoid answering their answer is that donations are not even allowed to go to the browser. Something about Mozilla being a non-profit and Firefox being a fully owned commercial company.

To which I have to say that this is weird: 1. non-profits are allowed to do maintenance of their buildings and machinery, why not something that keeps generating income 2. even if the above doesn't work because of tax reasons they could just stop bleeding it dry. Firefox alone without Mozilla is very cash positive.

Summary: Donating to Firefox goes to Mozilla, the organization that keeps taking away all the money that Firefox generates.

Update: Firefox VPN and maybe Pocket too goes through Mozilla Corporation I think, but verify this before buying 1000 subscriptions :-)
I do agree with you on the Buzzfeed-level articles. They're entertaining, as most news websites nowadays.

The Guardian is making the case that the most successful = good journalism, great scoops etc. which sounds a bit off to me.

Which parts of the Chinese economy are not subject to a complete hostile takeover from their government, including but not limited to disappearing the companies leaders?

Just because state officials aren't directly managing day to day operations does not mean that company isn't owned by the state, because in China, that company is always owned by the state.

What is this nuance you seem to be referencing but not explaining?
Ask HN: My PC sometimes boots up but sometimes doesn't, what can be the reason?
I have a personal Dell Alienware laptop 2017 model which has started behaving very weirdly. It sometimes just crashes and then doesn't boot up for next 2-7 days. And after that it starts working again as normal and may not even crash for like 1-2 weeks or may crash the next day.
Formatting hasn't helped, reinstalling windows hasn't helped, unistalling drivers hasn't helped so from a technical perspective what can be the reason?

I suspect it could be a hardware issue but am unable to come up with a conclusion.
The Zachtronics game "Exapunks" is amazing. Its plot is a standard cyberpunk story with body modifications and underground networks of outlaws working against corrupt corporations.

Its gameplay is that you write (an extremely simple) assembly bytecode for virtual machines called the "Exa"s, those virtual machines then infiltrate computer systems across the network and perform your program there. The whole thing is visualised as tiny little robotic virus-like creatures, representing the malicious scripts you write, hopping around in an arena representing the network they haunt.

Aside from the amazing and nostalgic story and the obviously educational value of teaching a player the bare basics of assembly programming, there are more subtle educational content being sneaked into the experience. Off the top of my head:

1) The Exa is extremely primitive, it has a single general purpose 4-digit-wide register that can hold decimal numbers from -9999 to 9999 (and occasionally strings), and another one mostly like it but test-and-jump instructions additionally treat it as an implicit second operand, that's it. No stack, no procedures, no nothing. Just 2 registers, and a very simple set of 2 dozen or so instructions. Oh and there's also a limit on the code size, it varies on each level but it's about 100-150 instructions.

2) But the Exa is Turing-complete, because it has a special instruction MAKE that creates a file, files are infinite length comma-seperated list of values, you can only write to it by writing to a special register on the Exa. Juggling values between files and registers is thrilling mental gymnastics.

3) Exas can fork, this is the primary mechanism that gets around code size limitations. Forking works just like OS processes, a new copy of the Exa with the same code is created and the child jumps to a label while the parent falls through the code. I learned and internalised all of this before I knew what 'Process' in the OS sense even means, that's how beautiful this game is. There are even a mechanism for communication between Exas (i.e. IPC), complete with rules about what happens if an Exa writes to the network register and nobody reads it or vice versa.

4) Sometimes you manipulate external devices (neurones, ATM machines, satellite dishes, Etc...) by writing to special registers, just like you manipulate files by writing to a special register, this is yet another sneaky educational bit: the Everything-is-a-file of Linux and Unix OSes, the interface for hardware mimics the interface for files and networks.

Also checkout other Zachtronics games like kohctpyktop, TIS-100, and shenzenIO. Every one of them has something awesome to teach you, but it's Exapunks that burned itself deep inside my brain and heart.
Can you let me drag/add a slack message to a page with the message summary and link to the message just like I see when I reference a message somewhere in slack? I desperately want to be able to accumulate a stack of messages I need to follow up on or respond to, but without that auto-populating context thumbnail it's too hard to know which opaque link is which.
How did you craft your messaging each time you had to raise the price?
I think that this is fundamentally untrue. Middle between truth and lie is a lie.

When you are trying to find truth purely by searching middle of what people say, you are enabling bad actors and punishing honest people.
This is a rather skewed and incorrect view of history. In America and elsewhere companies do not dictate policy. They can help edge it in a direction they want, but the large swings of policy are out of their control. More so you're generalizing America to the entire west and excluding other Asian countries like Japan.
I realize I'm just one person, but the dealbreaker for me is still the very minimal WebAuthn support. No soft tokens, and therefore no TouchID/Hello support.

The difference in friction between "Getting my Yubikey out of my bag" and "Pressing the TouchID button" is enough to keep me on Chrome.
Fair. My main experience with CGI was bash, Perl, and Python so I tend to think of compiled languages in a completely different context.
> I think that says more about your particular mental model of programming than about programming in general.

Well, I originally started programming only using dynamic types.

Then I moved to typed languages, and I could avoid whole categories of errors. I don't see it as dogma, I think typed languages are just qualitatively better at creating software. I also think this is starting to become industry experience, as efforts like Typescript, and the incremental additions to PHP's type-system show.
There are codecs which support this. I don't know if it's used anywhere because it certainly only makes sense for terrestrial broadcasting.
Well, 'make you agree' is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?

Not intentionally, but they did sell something with a feature, only to remove that feature later.

The issue isn’t that they got sued and have to remove that feature from future speakers. The issue is that they removed the feature from devices they already sold.
That's how you're supposed to do it. The Precision Time Protocol was fully standardized before Sonos was founded specifically intended for synchronization of media streams across different systems (among other use cases). There were other similar schemes before that. This is why RTP even has a separate timestamp field when it could simply be computed from the sequence and media codec metadata.

You didn't see it much in the consumer space at the time, but the professional music production studio space had to address these concepts back in the 90s.
I agree that PHP hate is pretty boring. Nothing beats being able to FTP a few files to deploy a simple dynamic webpage. I still use it for that. But when it comes to building large web apps, I moved on years ago. While I have seen there have been a ton of improvements with some really nice frameworks, there is nothing so crazy innovating about any of it that would make me care to switch back.

If programmers were held to standards routinely upheld by systems engineer, software would not be such crap.

There would also be less of it, which would be another boon.
Incidentally I'm onboarding someone new to git and Github. I must say, Github is now exceedingly difficult to set up. Vocalizing every step of the process, hopefully not in a hand-wavy way, it strikes me how hard this must be for unguided noobs.

To some degree, this must be crushing the value of the service.

If ever there was a crying need for setup wizards, configuration audit helpers, and clear error messages, this would be it.

On one hand I can clearly see how git-like history and version control could help in so many areas beyond tech. On the other hand, I can see that's never gonna happen with the barriers to entry we see today.

The Github team should talk to the Rust team about error messages and helpful diagnostics.

I really like this. I use DEVONthink currently for most of my notes. However, I really like the "daily" note nature of this. I have a couple of questions that would make this very useful and maybe change my current process.

First, can I tag parts of a daily note? My use-case would be tagging sections of a daily note related to a customer. In a given day, I may have 5 meetings with different customers. If I could tag each section with the customer name, it would help me in searching/reviewing those notes at a later time?

Second, can I add a Surface to the daily note? My desire is to be able to draw with the Apple Pencil on the iOS app on my daily note, just like if I added a Surface to the Page Tree.

Thanks and great job getting something fairly polished out the door.

Edited for spelling
I'll take it with grace, but I feel like "cake eater" should at least include EP and/or Minnetonka. Edina, as a whole, has become much more diverse and varied in income in recent years. Granted there are some hold out areas of affluent-bubbles, but as a whole, Edina isn't an outlier anymore.

Yes I used Hangouts and Google Fi for this exact reason. It was perfect. If they would have just rolled this out globally to all Android users I believe Google would have won the messaging battle with Apple.

I've since switched from Android to iOS, but Fi+Hangouts was amazing at the time. Too bad Google seemingly abandoned both projects.

I've always been a bit confused by this deployment model.

gunicorn bills itself as "Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork worker model."

uvicorn's one-liner "Uvicorn is a lightning-fast ASGI server implementation, using uvloop and httptools."

So it seems redundant at first to be running both, but what the gunicorn+uvicorn-worker-process pattern really does is throw away the "WSGI HTTP Server" part of gunicorn and just use the "pre-fork worker" process management part, with the underlying processes actually being ASGI.

If you run in a different kind of process-management environment like k8s, does running gunicorn+uvicorn give you anything else?

Which again goes to my point. People who care about Intel taking a stand against China should actually buy shares from the existing investors and make them.

If no one wants to do that then what is all these kvetch about "capitalism" and "greed" corrupting companies and our values when it is the people who do not care. Certainly not enough to pay up for the shares.
Or justify nothing.

> Downside is sometimes people doesn't understand what you meant.

But the explicit purpose is to conceal what you actually mean to avoid criticism. So, you need to be more specific about “people”: one downside is that the intended audience sometimes doesn't understand what you mean (another is that the audience you are trying to bypass sometimes does.)

PG is referring to the long-recognized practice of political dog-whistles here.
Wow, didn't know it did this. I'm doing my own audio processing before it gets to the browser, so this is actively harmful. This bit:

The "infinite browsing" still happened in physical stores though, of course, not quite to the same scale and it's a different sort of experience because you had to leave your house.

I more-or-less agree with the point in the article. Knowing you have less access to something can help make you more conscious about your decision.
Clover is a pretty well-used name. When searching for “Clover” on Google:

https://www.clover.com/

https://www.cloverfoodlab.com/

https://www.clover.co/

https://www.cloverhealth.com/

When I hear “Clover”, I think payment processing and health care. Apparently it’s also a dating app and a food service.

In a crowded namespace you might want to consider using a descriptive term like “Clover Notes” in your branding so people can find you better and mentally separate you from the other Clover companies out there.

Also, when I hear “Surface”, I think of the Microsoft laptop. They position “Surface” as a tool for creativity, productivity, efficiency, etc., much like you do. Are you sure you’re in the clear to use that term?

“Use Surface as a whiteboard for better brainstorming, enhanced memory, intuitive organization, and workflows you simply can’t do elsewhere”, seems like a statement that would easily apply to the Surface laptop.
It's a funny kind of inversion that the extreme discipline, rules and instant punishments of military conscription is described as 'absolute freedom'.

ALL people value fairness and harm avoidance. They just define 'what' or 'to what level' is fair or harmful, differently than you.

It shows the bubble one lives in to think otherwise.

It's very telling that you apply more favorable labels to one group and labels associated with negative outcomes to another.

Assuaging peoples concerns about the present by promising a better future is ok in the short term, but I tend to see it as a long-term pattern of some managers. Stringing people along for a nonexistent promotion, letting on-call remain bad because next quarter we will have enough time to fix it (we won’t), that sort of thing. I say “abusive” but maybe “manipulative” is better.
Make a list of what you want in a job rather than what you don't, then you can narrow down the search.

Now is a great time to find a job and I wouldn't limit your options to just "Tech" companies as there are plenty of other sectors that need technical people and offer a more balanced work environment due to the fact they are not solely "Tech" companies.

You can literally throw a dart at a list of sectors and find a tech job currently advertised.

If I had to make a choice from the plethora of jobs out there, I would look for something in the natural resource sector like large cap mining companies, these places still offer careers that lives can be planned around and the burn out rates are much lower.

*Edit*

Also you might not want to say your last statement to potential employers, I get your point about being OK for earning less in exchange for lower pressure but it comes across like you value your work less than that of others and an employer doesn't know any different!

Far better to make the argument that the work you do is so good that you expect a more accommodating work environment.
Not that this validates the claim, but this was a pretty influential post by the author of Flask circa 2016:

I was reading about early Islam (Reza Aslan's 'no god but god'). It's not a rule that has aged well, but according to him the reasoning was that basically in pre-islamic arabia if you didn't have family support (e.g. widow, orphan), you'd have no livelihood, would end up borrowing money and then fall into slavery. In the absence of financial markets, bankruptcy laws, social safety net, free markets for labour/entrepreneurship, forbidding usury potentially made sense.

As an economist, I still think consumer lending (excluding consumer lending that is actually funding investment like mortgages and vehicle financing) in 2022 is pretty questionable and only economically logical in a minority of cases, and that it would make sense to restrict/regulate some of it more heavily.

How much longer will it be accessible for Intel and Microsoft though? CCP does not think twice about pulling the rug on local tech giants [0]. Why would it hesitate for Intel and Microsoft? It seems like only a matter of time.

As far as chips in particular, CCP is pushing hard to make chips locally [1]. So again, just a matter of time before Intel gets replaced in China.

Is the Intel leadership being incredibly short-sighted besides of course being devoid of ethical common sense?
