This reminds me (in a good way) of the GPD Win computers.

Obviously smartphones are cool, I have one, I like it, but it annoys me that in some senses they're still not as good as a Windows 98 laptop from 24 years ago. Their version of MS Office isn't as intuitive, there's not the same level of programming language/compiler support, on iOS you're restricted to the App Store, etc.

The GPD Win was the first time I saw a good attempt at a "real" computer that fits in your pocket, and I have one and love it dearly for on-the-train coding, but sadly the pricepoint is a bit high for most people. If I can get something that feels like a real computer for less than $50, I'll be the first in line to buy it.
I know this comes off as sounding like an old man, but you could also just walk around without your ears plugged up and pay attention to your surroundings.
"Libraries in the United States generally use either the Library of Congress Classification System (LC) or the Dewey Decimal Classification System to organize their books. Most academic libraries use LC, and most public libraries and K-12 school libraries use Dewey." [1]

I used this set-up for about a year. It was fine, I even used it on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I found that you'd definitely have to know way more about the principles of the ssh-agent system and smartcards (and GPG's need for a long exclusive lock on the card to cache safely) once in a while to avoid getting stuck, especially since other parts of the operating system or, on Windows, multiple usable implementations of SSH (e.g. one via MSYS, one on win32/native, one in WSL1, or one in WSL2) may be involved. Learning this on Windows was especially "fun."

This kind of knowledge is proximate to my own line of work, but I think it could be frustrating for others that have no such alignment.

These days I use the FIDO support. It is much simpler, but software support is a bit on the bleeding edge. You don't get to amortize a GPG toolchain in for commit signing or anything like that, though.
One could interpret this call to action being targeted as much at individual workers in SV, and its general culture (as in, quit your high-paying VC-backed job, and work on something FOSS/federated).

In either case, I agree appealing to corporations makes no sense; in those rare cases where their bottom lines aren't aligned with future authoritarian states, it's because they want to become quasi-authoritarian fiefs themselves.
Not particularly! There are ethicists who believe all sorts of silly things, if you think "self-defeating" or "undermining" qualifies as "silly." For example, there are plenty of ethicists who think that moral statements are really just preference statements, putting "killing is bad" on the same epistemic level as "I don't like peanuts on my sundaes."

This all works out because it isn't actually contrary to their self-interest: academic philosophy doesn't care whether your position undermines some grounding claim, because there's no universal consensus around that grounding claim to begin with. You'll find plenty of moral philosophers who think that morality is a purely preferential mental phenomenon; they don't mind admitting that because there's still plenty of interesting work to be done if that's the case.
People Don't realize that Quebec is banning unvaccinated people from many stores including big box stores (Walmart etc) [0]. The punitive nature is a side effect of creating this new authoritarianism. If you could have new authoritarianism more effectively without punitive measures, I'm sure that's what we would see.

Ukraine may be right... today. But tomorrow may be very different.

And Ukraine may have their own bias here. They may figure that if there are a bunch of Americans in Ukraine, that may increase Putin's hesitation, or give the US more incentive to intervene. They're an asset that Ukraine may want to keep.

> BT mice have never been subjectively responsive enough for me.

Anecdotally, I've experienced very few issues with the Logitech MX Master (both the original and v3) on my Mac via BT - every once in awhile (often enough to be aware of it, but infrequently enough that it's not something I'd consider a problem) the original would cut out for a few seconds, but other than that it tracked perfectly, and I haven't even had the periodic cutting-out issue with the Master 3 (yet; I've only had it for a little over a month now).

Of course, this is dependent on the BT implementation of both the mouse and PC being used, which is something to take into consideration (I've had way fewer BT connection issues in general with MacBooks than with any Windows laptops).
Good. No one verifies this crap anyway. Even in Israel where it's a digitally signed government issued token, nobody has actually ever verified it (that I've seen). Only at the airport, maybe.
Both are valid points, but you did write that Linux is harder to install and maintain. I disagree on those two points.

If people want to eat at restaurants unvaccinated in NYC they have a variety of options. They can eat outside in the stalls which often have heat and shields against the wind. They can order at home and eat with their friends who want to take that risk.

Going to a concert so you can more likely catch and spread a highly infectious virus and become more sick and hospitalized isn't some constitutional right.

And the value of not having people who'll willingly "limit someone else's freedoms" by spreading a virus they could be vaccinated against, well, at the end of the day, I'd rather "limit their freedoms" to use your term, then the person who didn't need to catch it anyways and is now sick or hospitalized. That sounds a lot more like "limited freedoms" than "Oh no, I can't see a play".
From what I remember, Google have specific conditions when it come to YouTube which ads is one of those conditions. I recalled Microsoft have a YouTube app didn't shows the ads which violated their term of services. Amazon did similar and that lead to corporate war against Google since Google put their foot down.
I'm reading Why We Sleep and it sounds like your circadian cycle isn't syncing.

Basically our internal clocks are not exactly 24 hours (can differ by even a few hours) so your body relies on some signals like sunlight and a meal in the morning to resync.
You don't see any practical issues with that approach..? Do you know how much personal information is in a medicare claim?
> But to have this level of security requires extra work, and part of that work is regularly testing that the keys still work.

This is a late reply, but thanks for your detailed response. I agree that this requires extra work, and that it is important. But the cost of multiple hardware keys also add up. So I doubt if this is a solution for the masses (of course, I'm not implying that anyone who's concerned about losing an account shouldn't spend some money and time).

If you do see this reply, I'd like to know the other vendors (apart from Yubico) whose keys you use.
Impact on geopolitics? Yes: the administration is saying "We really don't want to have to send the Marines into a fight we want no part of in order to save you, so get out now."

The American troops being sent into the region are there to keep things from spilling into the Northern Baltic NATO countries. Biden has been very clear that the United States will not overtly & militarily act to protect Ukraine's sovereignty, and that's an easy message to maintain so long as we don't have troops in Ukraine picking up stranded Americans.
I don't believe you're correct.

Facebook said something to the effect of not requiring a Facebook login at some future date, and said future date has yet to materialize. Neither did they specify what the alternative login would be, but it wouldn't be surprising if it was just a "Meta" account instead.

The US government wanted Snowden bad, going as far as to forcing the Bolivian President's jet to land because they thought Snowden might have been on it. A few European countries wouldn't let the plane traverse their airspace, presumably because of pressure being put on them by the US. Russia giving Snowden refugee status was a big middle finger to the West and the US in particular. It's just a bonus that every time he tweets he makes the US look bad.
You're right. It works better when I think "hard keyword search" than what I'm used to with DDG and Google. I tried "python super classmethod" and got here: https://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3135/ which perfectly answered my question.
Sudo got so complex that OpenBSD replaced it with their own much simpler "doas." But even doas has grown some additional features since it was first released.
Disagree that it’s ridiculously flawed. It has issues like any system, but it still works well the majority of the time.

> no self-respecting library uses it these days (unless it always has, and hasn't got around to re-organising).

The vast majority of library systems have been around long enough where Dewey was the defacto choice (or LCC). Just checked a few like the British Library, the French National Library, and all the other libraries I’ve looked up now in London, all Dewey.
>> their strategy is no longer tenable

> It was never tenable.

I disagree. And even if it couldn't 100% eradicate the virus, those strategies certainly seemed capable enough to limit it until vaccines could be brought strongly to bear. However, that runs into another area where many people seem to be more interested in sabotaging things in order to be "proven" right.

> Research in January of 2020 indicated that the virus was known to species hop with ease.

> Research also indicated there was ample evidence of animal population reservoirs of virus.

So, for quite some time China (and several other countries), had locally eradicated the virus in the human population. Is there any evidence that those animal reservoirs were a source of reinfection in those places?

> Come from a family of doctors. Ran a team at a viral research lab in a very relevant country. Have done graduate study in virology. Have attended various infection control and pandemic response seminars prior to the pandemic. Have dealt with SARS and MERS in person prior to covid.

And I get the strong impression your views are mostly derived from political beliefs rather than professional ones, dispute the credential dropping and appeals to "science." You're basically disputing every virus control measure proposed, despite the glaring evidence that they worked for quite some time in some areas.

By the way, have you participated in a video where they collect anyone they can manage with a shred of a medical of scientific credential to read some statement about how "masks don't work", "vaccines are dangerous", etc.? I've seen a bunch of those claiming all kinds of things.

> I do not matter and my background does not give my comments merit.

That's definitely true.
I didn't read the whole article, and this is quite a conversation. However, I have to ask: Why oh why is digital voice quality downgraded to telephony quality, when the computer and buds both play crystal musical audio? This happens for me in Windows, and IIRC in Mac as well. What about the audio device being headset vs. speaker changes things at a technical level?

This only seems to happen for Bluetooth. Using a RF gaming headset or a wired connection causes no issue.

Yes, politics is downstream from culture.

Policy in a representative government tends to come from established interests.
Of course, restricting people's movement across imaginary borders is very silly indeed. The point I was making is, I see plenty of frothing about vaccine passports, but not one single one of those people having conniptions about them is able to articulate what they would enable a government to do that they can't do already with your normal passport, driving license, tax ID etc.
Hyperscript already has an established meaning in this space, as a pure JS-based syntax alternative to JSX.

See https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript and all its descendants, like Mithril, HyperApp or Sinuous.

Could you please think of another name ?
I don't think it's just about whether it's hard to do, your syntax example looks short enough and one can memorize these two patterns relatively quickly.

However, both patterns are another special case how identifiers are resolved in the expression. Aren't `.env` and `.data` both valid variable and column names? So what happens if I have a column named `.data`?

Another example, which is the reason why we chose the `:column` style to refer to columns in `DataFramesMeta.jl` and `DataFrameMacros.jl`:

What happens if you have the expression `mutate(df, b = log(a))`. Both `log` and `a` are symbols, but `log` is not treated as a column. Maybe that's because it's used in a function-like fashion? Maybe because R looks at the value of `log` and `a` in their scope and sees that `log` is a function an `a` isn't?

In Julia DataFrames, it's totally valid to have a column that stores different functions. With the dplyr like syntax rules it would not be possible to express a function call with a function stored in a column, if the pattern really is that function syntax means a symbol is not looked up in the dataframe anymore.

In Julia DataFrameMacros.jl for example, if you had a column named `:func` you could do `@transform(df, :b = :func(:a))` and it would be clear that `:func` resolves to a column.

This particular example might seem like a niche problem, but it's just one of these tradeoffs that you have to make when overloading syntax with a different meaning. I personally like it if there's a small rule set which is then consistently applied. I'd argue that's not always the case with dplyr.
I seem to remember hearing a rumor that WSL was originally intended to be a WSA, but that failed internally for some reason so they cleaned it up just enough to run console applications and shipped it as WSL1?

We're probably not going to see eye to eye on this. Honestly it sounds like you've been on the receiving end of this, and I can imagine that being a very frustrating experience so I do sympathise if that is the case. But really the world you're painting is one where you have to walk on eggshells in every conversation because a mob is waiting to pounce if you used the word "retard" as a verb or called someone "Miss" instead of "Ms" or something like that. Perhaps that might happen in the most overly-earnest, try-hard, super-woke group where everyone uses custom, ever-changing neopronouns and you're expected to remember and use every one of them. But I think those sort of people are busy enough with their own internal squabbles to be going out bothering HNers.
I was wondering with WSL already: why is it not called “Android Subsystem for Windows” but the other way around. Is there a historical reason for it to be called that way?
I would argue that a lie involves deliberate deception, not just untruth. Fiction, then, is not a lie, as by definition it is something imagined or invented, and therefore not created to deceive.

Hey Alex. Thanks for all you've done for the software engineering community. Would suggest legal action against this.
“In great empires the people who live in the capital, and in the provinces remote from the scene of action, feel, many of them, scarce any inconveniency from the war; but enjoy, at their ease, the amusement of reading in the newspapers the exploits of their own fleets and armies. To them this amusement compensates the small difference between the taxes which they pay on account of the war, and those which they had been accustomed to pay in time of peace. They are commonly dissatisfied with the return of peace, which puts an end to their amusement, and to a thousand visionary hopes of conquest and national glory from a longer continuance of the war.”

I don't have any research to back this up, but it's possible that framing it as being more focused on less interesting work rather than "productive" helps clarify what might cause it. When we are well rested, our brains are functioning at a higher level, which includes spending energy making micro decisions about how important things are, what the priority is, what work is related to what you are currently looking at, and so on. When over tired, our bodies exert less energy on non critical processes, which might mean not overanalyzing or being distracted away from a task you'd rather not have to do.

So getting certain work done is easier when tired, but productivity would arguably include doing the "right" thing, mapping the right information together, and so on, which you'd want to be better rested for.

Curious to hear if you agree on the productivity vs focus clarification, or if you feel like you're truly more productive in the sense that you do some of your best work (greatest ideas, executed efficiently, with minimal errors) when tired?
