If anyone remembers Daniel Lyons' numerous anti-Linux articles on Forbes [0] from back when Linux was seriously threatened by the SCO lawsuit... I'm still a bit salty about that. The articles were mean-spirited, sarcastic and overblown, well written (if one ignores the numerous factual inaccuracies and ad hominem attacks), and featured attention-getting titles like "Linux's Hit Men" [1]. The sad part is they were quite believable for anyone with no knowledge of the situation. If you followed any of the relevant tech news, not so much.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Lyons

> Lyons was a senior editor at Forbes magazine, covering enterprise computing and consumer electronics. He was also the author of the Forbes cover article, "Attack of the Blogs", where he wrote that blogs "are the prized platform of an online lynch mob spouting liberty but spewing lies, libel and invective," claiming that Groklaw was primarily created "to bash software maker SCO Group in its Linux patent lawsuit against IBM, producing laughably biased, pro-IBM coverage."[11]

> Between 2003 and 2007 Lyons covered the SCO cases against IBM and against Linux. He published articles such as "What SCO Wants, SCO Gets," where he stated that "like many religious folk, the Linux-loving crunchies in the open-source movement are a) convinced of their own righteousness, and b) sure the whole world, including judges, will agree. They should wake up."[12][13][14]

The idea is this would survive a search and potential jail term.
They did? Which fraction of bash users (for example) contributed anything upstream? I am betting significatly less than 1%.

I am not sure why people suddenly get outraged about cloud. Most webhosting providers in the last 20 years had business criticaly dependent on Linux kernel and Apache. Almost none of them contibuted anything to those projects. And people were not complaining.
> Here’s an example: Last year, AWS dramatically reduced data egress charges, under pressure from CloudFlare, Oracle, and of course their customers.

This is an argument for how bad lock-in is though!

AWS was fucking everyone on egress price and nobody could do anything about it. It was not dropped until a serious alternative to the moat came in.

That’s not an example of some innovation or anything like that. It’s exactly like the Microsoft and oracle examples where the cloud is just extracting as much as the market will bear.
So has Netflix, Disney+, Intuit, Capital One not reached that scale?

We say that disease wiped out the natives in the US, but as soon as you get into Mexico there are native populations integrated into every part of society in every city across Mexico with their cultures alive and well. I lived in Mexico City for a while and everything from the food to the art/crafts, clothing is heavily influenced by the native cultures.

> Use a build system or CSS in JS library to hash your class names and keep them private.

Please don't. Human-readable and rarely changing class names are one of the few things keeping customization on the Web still possible.

Just add an application name class selector to the beginning of each style block (perhaps as part of your build so you can do it for dependencies too) and put those classes on your body. For bonus points, put those classes as deep in the tree as reasonable and you have yourself scoped styles - all with zero JS and compiler fuckery.

I've used this method to mix Bootstrap versions on one page as well as two completely different CSS frameworks. Obviously not something you want to do, but you might need to once in a while.
Maybe? Fact is you shouldn’t be getting screwed in the first place.

If you are in a position to find out you are getting screwed, it’s not suddenly your fault if it continues. The root cause is still that the company did it in the first place.
The Case for Building, Supporting and Investing in Open Source Businesses
I take Concerta (methylphenidate). It helps a little. The hardest thing is getting a job interview when your resume says "Company X June 1st - August 31st" over and over.

I started using "organizational systems" when I was very young. Lists, diaries, planners etc. I would put sticky notes on my bedroom door in elementary school to remind myself of things. My personality is quite shy and reserved so in school ADHD never caused problems. The stereotype is a loud child racing around the classroom causing havoc, not someone quietly getting lost in the ocean of their thoughts.

The inconsistency is one of the parts that gets to me. Yesterday I was able to study and work on side-projects pretty much all day. At the end of a day like that you start thinking "Maybe things are gonna be ok. Maybe I'm gonna get an ok job and make things work." Then the next day comes. Today I haven't been able to do anything, even though there's essentially no difference between the today and yesterday. How can you make a plan if you have no idea how much you will be able to follow through on your intentions?

> If you are in the Bay Area, you are at a distinct disadvantage. The male-female-ratio

This is just true in the entire USA under age 35. If you're a man - you have a distinct disadvantage. More men (107:100) are born than women. This evens out around age 40 because men killed themselves at a much higher rate than women have. (Think about that - women kill themselves too but 7% of men have to off themselves to just even it out if all the women lived)
It seems to me that majority of users don't want to deal with a native application - specially one that:

1. They would have to install, maintain, backup and configure themselves
2. Has a reasonable web application, that, as a major perk, they don't have to install, maintain, backup and configure themselves

Due to the lack of demand for such a product, I am not surprised the existing products arn't polished/well maintained.
GP's point was that the flash drive, which is not the hard disk, is mapped to a filepath under /, which is the hard disk. The pathing seems to imply that the flash drive is inside the hard disk, whereas on Windows they have distinct roots. GP suggests that / should instead refer to an imaginary place under which both the flash drive and hard disk reside.
awesome stuff. will use it in a project soon.
>Women, on the other hand, haven't been given the same advertising on the American dream that men have

There is a documentary, "Born Rich" [0]. It's interviews with the children of very rich people, done by one of their peers. I noticed that in the film there is stark difference between the girls and the boys: the girls were all well adjusted, enjoying their wealth, happy, satisfied, seemingly well-aware of their good fortune; but for ALL the boys wealth meant having a full-blown existential crisis.

This is oblique support for your claim: the classic American dream for women results in being taken care of by a wealthy man in a nice house, maybe with kids, where even house duties become negligible if he's really rich. But men and boys are supposed to work, first at learning then finding something you like then getting good at it. Your work defines you in a very profound way - a profundity that is reflected in our last names. If you're a rich boy, it's like you've been denied an identity. (I recall one of the young men who, to save his sanity, disavowed his inheritance to take a job as an oil field worker. And he seemed the best adjusted of the boys.).

Ask HN: What's the quickest way to create back end server for games
I'd be interested in a backend service that does auth, store inventory of purchased in-game assets, etc. Something simple that's easy and fast to standup.
The politics side of this scares me too. And I don't really have an answer.

Ideas for how we can push for more equality, inclusivity, opportunity, without causing this far-right reaction?

Maybe it's unavoidable since we're often talking about structural change to benefit one group, and the other side feel (wrongly) that for others to have more they have to have less. All lives matter is an example.

The same thing is happening with trans and queer rights (which also tags along with gender roles like this article talks about).

A scary % of people feel under attack or at least a group of politicians is generating/amplifying this for their gain.

I'm about to be a bit facetious but scarily not really, a lot of people truly think that a mob of commies is trying to recruit their kids to be gay/trans and that 'men/boys' (part of the issue here is their understanding of gender) will invade their bathrooms and take over their sports.

This backlash is actually producing legislation to further political agendas and harm kids.

This weeks "Don't say gay" bill in Florida is shocking to me.

Would ban LGBTQ topics in schools. And likely force counselors to out kids to their parents, lest they be sued - the TX trick that is going to be abused on all social issues from now on.

It's like one step forward culturally, two steps back legally.
Damn, I came here to say gay guys probably know a lot of the female words. As a bi guy I knew most of the female ones, but I'm very into my fashion and read a lot of female fashion mags and watch things like Project Runway!
Crypto has been around since 2009. It's been 13 years of bullshit. Because Andreessen is behind the web3 scam a lot of people are in... FOR THE MONEY.

May report if Tesla is not responsive or the lag happens again. As I said, this version has been recalled. The car did not reverse on its own, but it is still unsafe to have indicators fail.
I thought it was just an issue with the Bluetooth standard and having degraded audio always happened when the mic was on. It's an extremely frustrating experience when trying to use the in flight movie apps because they will detect there's a microphone and open it up.

I assume this is just so I can hear inflight announcements, even though my headphones support pass through audio modes if I really was worried and I didn't specifically buy expensive noise cancelling headphones where one of the main use cases is successfully blocking out jet engine noise.
You have the power? Break the law, you get more jail time than women. Get a divorce, women automatically get the children and half of your assets and you pay alimony. They cry rape and you are instantly guilty. But you are right, women aren't the problem. You are.

How has that worked for the past 30 years?
It's interesting that the RISC-V version of the Micro-Kernel is significantly smaller than the ARM and X86 versions. And that the RISC-V 32/64 versions share a much higher percentage of common code compared with ARM/X86. I guess it is testament to how clean the RISC-V architecture is.

> "How does promotion and career growth work? If hired, what steps would I need to take to get my next promotion? What holds people back in those situations?"

This one's mathematically interesting. Orgs are generally shaped in a way that literally most people can't "get a next promotion" after a certain point.

Something like "what do I need to do to ensure a good review and good compensation adjustments" would at least work better hold up better in managerial roles where "the next promotion" is possibly the job held by the person interviewing you. :)

> As far as I can tell you’re simply wrong, but I’m happy to see evidence to the contrary.

I posted three links to the contrary in my first comment showing that not only does the CCP think as the US does on this issue, but they implement largely the same policy to try to fix it, with affirmative action implemented before the corresponding US policy.

> That, to me, is more a function of just how large the initial gap was than it is a suggestion that intellectual equality at the population level can be achieved.

That large gap was not genetic but environmental, as the closing of the gap demonstrates.

> Blacks have never surpassed intellectually either white or Asian populations, nor are they close to doing so anywhere

I just told you that they closed the gap entirely in the charter schools Angrist studied. Educating blacks better than whites would be racist.

> The early Asian-American populations were treated no better than African slaves, yet 150 years later the outcomes couldn’t be more different

The descendants of those early Asian-American immigrants are still largely poor (and poorly educated). Similarly refugee Asian immigrants test poorly, with poor Hmong performing worse than poor blacks on standardized tests. More recent Asian immigrants got here through visas for highly educated workers, and their children are unsurprisingly also highly educated after their parents drill into them that the only reason they're here is due to education.

The Jews in Europe, though suffering immense oppression, benefited educationally from a Christian ban on modern finance (any interest was considered sinful usury), which the scholars of the Talmud deemed acceptable as long as the loan was to non-Jews. This, together with the emphasis on studying the Talmud throughout history meant that European Jews always valued education, both as a means of making money and for religious observance. American blacks were prevented from learning to read during slavery, and in the Jim Crow era, they were prevented from getting jobs that could use an education, so a culture of education would have been detrimental to develop. Now that they can benefit from education, we observe a steady closing of the education gap.

Have you heard of a little “reputable” company called Zoom that surreptitiously put a web server on Macs so even when you did remove the app it redownloaded it? You can’t trust developers to do the right thing. I install all kind of random crap on my iPhone since I know they can’t do too much damage. I’m very careful what I install on my computer.
I walked up around a local area recently. Most days I go for a walk, just to be outside, for silence, to keep a baseline level of fitness. I probably walk an average of 2-3km every day, sometimes no walk, sometimes a 16km walk. It's something that keeps me at least a little bit connected to life.

On one of those walks recently I went across a bridge to a lake. There is a stream or river under the bridge, depends on your definition, its was about 30 foot wide but under one foot deep. It's a beautiful area, on the border of city and country.

And it was quiet, peaceful, no people around. There was only 2 problems:

a) while the water was shallow enough to not break my fall, the drop from the bridge was not high enough, and I would likely just break a bunch of bones and survive anyway

b) I don't want to die.

I am bitter, and I think I have a right to be bitter, even though I know it's not healthy or a smart thing to feel.

This. The existence of Jesus says nothing about his divinity or the validity of Christianity. We have more evidence for the existence of Muhammad. Does that make Islam the 'correct' religion? We have even more evidence for the existence of Joseph Smith. Does that make Mormonism the 'correct' religion? We have video recordings of L. Ron Hubbard, along with many people still alive who have met him. Does that make Scientology the 'correct' religion?

"think cultural legacy is more deeply intertwined with morals than people appreciate."

The cultural legacy of modern Europe is that of Renaissance, which is a partial rejection of many religious morals and practices we would find abhorrent today. Like burning heretics, astronomers and philosophers at the stake, witch hunts, etc.

When a woman or other media-favored-identity (which can include gender, race, religion, different-abledness, or an intersection of several, changing day-to-day and year-to-year, and media source to media source) achieves great things, their status as a woman or favored-minority is highlighted alongside their achievements (I would say this is not a bad thing as maybe people sharing that identity will believe in themselves a bit more and be inspired to do great things).

But when a man achieves success, their manness is certainly not highlighted. If the man is also a member of a media-favored-identity, then that will be highlighted. When was the last time you saw a headline: ‘First Man to [do thing]’? Instead, it would be ‘First Person to [do thing]’, or if someone else had already done that cool thing then it wouldn’t be a headline (unless it was like ‘first man to give birth to octuplets’, I can see that making the front page of the NYTimes).

Also, as a society we celebrate woman-dominated professions such as teachers and nurses (very deserved imo, except for my 6th grade teacher), but, at least in the ‘liberal’ mainstream, there is no similar celebration of male-dominated professions (except when a media-favored-identity finds success at that profession and the media is like ‘breaking news! single-mother black woman Polly-Ann drives steel like a man’ [too much?]). Is it any surprise that those who identify as men are more likely to also identify with the political and intellectual movements that still glorify the man-identity (I would say the liberal mainstream also forgets about rural folks, with the same effect)? Example: many Republican-leaning outlets will celebrate those who work in our military, regardless of the soldier’s identity (well, maybe not regardless, but at least so long as they are a meat-and-potatoes sort of man).

Maybe the answer is that we all ought to think of ourselves as people above all else. Maybe an achievement should be celebrated and highlighted equally no matter what sort of person you are, because it is no surprise that one sort of person is just as capable as a Man sort of person. I do not know the answer, but I would also say this: Did man-people have tens or hundreds or thousands of years of society saying that only man-people are capable of great achievements? Should we spend some time saying loud and clear that ‘yo, we got it wrong. not-man-people are also capable of great achievements’? But should we also hope towards a time where person-achievements are celebrated regardless of identity? Do we still have work to do before we get there? I would say yes.

Looking forward, the media says automation will eat our jobs, from truck drivers (self-driving cars) to soldiers (self-shooting-missile-drones) to programmers (self-programming-program).

If you listen close you can hear the clanging.

The steam drill is a’coming for ya.
