The issue is that either your choice of extensions to standard JSON turn out to be useful and used - which causes the value of having a standard to become eroded, or they remain unused - in which case your work to support a bigger/wider format was redundant. Both outcomes are to some degree negative.

All the actual JSON extensions you describe are completely reasonable and reflect failings in JSON as a standard but the solution should be for everyone to agree on a JSON v1.1 standard which fixes the failings rather than have every JSON v1.0 tool support their own particular set of extensions, rigorously defined or not.
I did a 4-month stint as sysadmin in a University which was exclusively Dell in the middle of the great capacitor plague, dozens of machines sent back every week, they stopped asking why and just replaced them. Happy days :-|
From wikipedia, which you linked:

> Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient".[2][3][4] Censorship can be conducted by governments,[5] private institutions and other controlling bodies.

Seems like your source agrees with me (and I find your quibbling over "suppress" vs. "restrict" absurd). People who are trying to confuse the issue are uncomfortable with the fact that they are pro-censorship. Why not just admit it?
I ordered two Dell Enterprise Chromebooks for use in healthcare. It was pretty important that I get the managed enterprise version of this for HIPAA reasons. This was as an evaluation to order 20-30.

The machines I received had the wrong OS on them, they didn't have the enterprise version.

The "support" I received from Dell on this was easily the worst I've had in my career.

Suffice to say, I will not be ordering the 20-30 additional machines, and won't be recommending any Dell products at any company I'm a part of.
I think a lot of people congregate elsewhere because they don't like HN (specifically because HN moderation and norms limit toxicity compared with proggit and Twitter).
> We're "calling it an insurrection" because that is a stated objective of the organizers, to overthrow the elected government of Canada.

I'm liberal, but the far left jumping to call protests an act of "insurrection" makes me want to warn you that this is an extreme characterization that will only further polarize us. We have to stop this nonsense.

It's like when those on the far left call for an end of free speech. The pendulum has swung completely for these folks. It's not a good idea to perpetuate or associate with these leanings.

Protests on both sides, while kept nonviolent, are a good and healthy mechanism to diffuse pent up anger, air grievances, and open new channels of dialogue.
> The US needs to adopt EU-style consumer laws.

I'm sure this will happen around the same time a wealth tax is implemented, universal healthcare is adopted, the US stops invading countries, and we stop subsidizing suburbs. (i.e. never)
I feel like this is missing a relatively straightforward step after the the second version. The first version fails to compile with "couldn't infer template argument"; the second version corrects this at the cost of naming explicit types. The author then goes off in a few directions to avoid naming the types... but he has them right there, why not just use them?

Those are small talk and are taxing on me :-(

Years ago I read the book, "How to Practice" by the Dalai Lama. Like any book, there were a few parts that stuck with me. Paraphrasing, one of them was:

"If you are in the right frame of mind, your worst enemy cannot hurt you. If you are in the wrong frame of mind, your best friend visiting can seem like a horrific chore."
Developing a new app is unreasonable condition that Apple imposes on dating apps
Yeah I found it to be tone deaf when my supposedly progressive software eng colleagues would share videos of lockdown protestors on IG saying F you idiots, as they work their cushy job. A lot of these people were protesting because they want to work, and not be dependent on government handouts.

What consequences were there for her exactly? She got offered a million dollar payoff, turned it down, and is now clearly gearing up to try and be some conservative grifter. The consequences don't seem that bad to me.
From the link you gave:

"What is not accepted as a fully vaccinated traveller

Recovered from COVID-19 with only one dose

If you’ve recovered from COVID-19, you still need at least 2 doses of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine or mix of 2 accepted vaccines."

And Canada does have a vaccine passport, for example, you can't go to WalMart of Costco without vaccination.
I started doing this with covid lockdowns, and it's been wonderful. I've had days-long text chains with people that naturally drop off again for a few months, but got us both caught up. I've had meaningful connections with past colleagues that made us both realize how much friendship was formed at work. I've even had it pivot to zoom and a couple of times turn into not just a friendly catch up but learning about opportunities at someone's new company (I'm actively job searching too).

At the end of the day, just catching up with people that I used to see and talk to on a daily/weekly cadence has been a significant emotional boon, and I don't see any downsides. Some of the reaching out didn't go anywhere, and that's fine - most were very worth my time.
What to fear? Some lunatic calling an employer and citing Trudeau to say the donor supports homophobe racists. Its happened with other leaked lists.

Another problem is that, if the Canadian government tightens the screws, the donation might be deemed material support for crime. BS, but I wouldn't trust the Canadian judiciary.
Do you have a citation on that claim? For example, it seems like they're on the wrong side by a large factor on things like vaccine mandates:

https://theconversation.com/majority-of-canadians-disagree-w...

It also seems unlikely that, say, the workers at factories who were prevented from working are rich people…
GiveSendGo appears to be a Christian crowdfunding platform. Maybe it's nuanced but I am unable to see a Christian connection to the mask mandates or whatever the truckers are protesting.
I did a ton with Delphi in those years, too. It was a good mix of hobby and bespoke stuff as a freelancer. Must've been around 2000 that I got a pay-the-bills kind of job with a software company. It was 100% Visual Basic. VB was pretty revolutionary, too, but it felt like such a huge step back. Borland did some tremendous stuff.
I agree it's never too late to stop making things worse but global CO2 output is increasing so it's only going to get worse. To make things better would require large scale changes to the economy and consumer habits which is not going to happen. Ask a random stranger on the street what sacrifices they would be willing to make for improving the habitability of the planet for future generations and you'll realize how far we are from doing anything about global warming and its consequences.

At some point food production is going to decrease because of increasingly violent and unpredictable weather patterns and historically that has never been an indicator of good fortune. For examples of what global warming is already doing to large human populations one only has to look at Madagascar and Afghanistan. What's happening in those places is going to become much more common in the coming decades. The major world governments are not prepared to deal with mass migrations and food shortages and given the nature of politics they won't do anything about it until its too late to do anything effective.

Some people think techno-optimism is the answer to these problems but given the scale involved there is no way to fix this with a new app or gadget. It will require major investment and cooperation across public, private, and commercial institutions which will not fit neatly into existing profit driven market dynamics. The entire social stack needs to be reconfigured and tech can't do that, it's fundamentally a social problem. The idea of an exponentially increasing prosperity through exponentially increasing economic growth and consumption was always a swindle, it's amazing it has gotten us this far but it's no longer a viable ideology for what's coming and too many people still believe in the old model and are unwilling to change their consumption habits.
Thing is, for simple to medium complexity streaming stuff the sed -> awk -> perl progression is still entirely valid.

I don't honestly think it's a bad thing on the science side that python's won for -programs- simply because maintainable perl at scale requires focus and discipline that is frankly energy the average scientist would be far better of expending elsewhere, but even if it's only really in commercial settings where large scale perl is still worthwhile it definitely still has its place in pipelines.
How much do you know about the stock market and trading? No offense but I want to know whether I am speaking with someone who has been trading for a few years and has come to this conclusion or someone who read it on a headline somewhere.
Yeah for sure! It’s a great starter program that I did as well. Honestly most programs are decent - treat lifting like programming (constantly leaning) and you’ll do great. The good news is with lifting showing up and working hard can get you really far even with a bad program.
But it is propaganda - thats what the BBC does. I think the HN types would be very interested in government propaganda from an organization that forced UK citizens to fund it or face jail. I mean you can’t just slip in a statement like that and expect silence and a nod of the head. It’s borderline orwellian
They were similar articles written about subcontractors and their moderators in Ireland. This isn't just Africa and just Facebook.

It's all social media.

I guess the only ones that get away with a moderation made by unpaid volunteers at scale is reddit, since it's their entire business model. The real question is, what kind of individual is "moderating" that place...
>The simplest explanation is more likely than the conspiracy that the Canadian government had time to make up fake donations from the US.

Isn't it convenient how all contradicting evidence is dismissed by evidence-free conspiracy theories?

And the evidence from the leak is fully testable and falsifiable! You could literally just email people who donated and ask them.
Can I edit it?
Here is the full quote from the SEC statement (in case you missed it when you read the statement):

> The order also finds that BlockFi made a false and misleading statement for more than two years on its website concerning the level of risk in its loan portfolio and lending activity.

> Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, BlockFi agreed to a cease-and-desist order prohibiting it from violating the registration and antifraud provisions of the Securities Act and the registration provisions of the Investment Company Act. BlockFi also agreed to cease offering or selling BIAs in the United States.
Their USB C docks are _always_ delivered to users with a piece of clear film tape wrapped tightly around the USB plug.

The tape is added by our IT department, because otherwise they'll have to replace the dock after two weeks because the plug just dismantles. Great build quality...

Hire remote employees that write well (and how to do it)
You're ignoring what I wrote entirely. We're not calling it an insurrection because it's a protest. We're calling it an insurrection because it's a protest with the express stated goal of overthrowing the democratically elected government.
The protest is super unpopular among certain politicians, certain state sponsored media, and certain supporters of those politicians and media. However, there are a very large number who support ending all lockdowns and mandates immediately - as evidenced by their ability to raise money, repeatedly, as well as by the physical presence of so many supporters across the globe.

That said, I agree this is most likely the work of an individual. For all its usefulness in raising money, GSG has probably never been subjected to a real-world pentest by a highly motivated attacker. Not to mention the legions of attackers one would expect from such a polarising subject. This was unfortunate but entirely predictable.
I don't think whataboutism is productive. Nor did I "cheer on" anything: It sucks when people are exploited by incompetent actors.

We've repeatedly watched as "the mainstream restricts us so we'll do our own thing" sites are built with absolutely rudimentary security faults. They're rushed, have a very eager and non-discretionary userbase that is chomping at the bit. They usually have compromised motivations.

And then they fall. It has become sadly predictable.
You could just look it up on wikipedia.

The october crisis is one of the most important events in modern canadian political history.
Adding video support is rather easy, it is just something I never felt the need to do given my preference for audio - which I can listen to while working on the farm etc. - over video. I can have a look at adding it if there is enough demand.
This is anything but generic ideological flamewar here, dang. I'm clearly slamming both "tribes" for their tribalism here.

More importantly, I'm someone deeply involved with the kinds of people that would have been able to perform this kind of hack and would do so for political reasons. I am directly calling their behavior awful.

I'm explicitly condemning the doxxing of ordinary people for their political activity and frankly am shocked that you would even suggest that to be against the rules or even controversial.
I was so excited for this, then I realized it uses C (which I'm not familiar with).
Ah yes, I use that trick for easily posting from a webapp.

Title indeed isn't parsed anymore or could be because of a %20 or smthg. I hadn't checked the cause actually.
The definition of an insurrection is "a violent uprising against an authority or government." Where is the violence? I'm seeing people dancing and enjoying themselves. So much joy. It's like a big festival. People are helping each other and coming together. I see families and food banks being filled, trash cleaned up. Please post videos of all the violence. Btw, you can see an endless feed of the types of events I've described on Youtube. The only violent act I saw was a confirmed antifa member running over civilians.
No, but if a bunch of people flying Peurto Rican flags swarm the Texas legislature it's probably reasonable to assume that there is a degree of support from people in Puerto Rico/outside of texas.
I like this idea. The core concept of recording yourself talking about a particular theme for a set period of time probably does have some therapeutic value.

Talking, like writing, can help you crystallise your thoughts and see things in a different way compared to how our inner (unspoken) dialogue can tend to frame things.

I agree that you don't necessarily need someone listening to get some of the benefits of this kind of talking therapy!

In a similar vein I've recently rediscovered the power of written journalling. And in particular, journalling on paper as opposed to on a device. In my experience the act of journalling, can be incredibly therapeutic too.

I think getting negative thoughts down on paper (or on "tape") dissolves some of the power they hold over you - in a similar way to how some meditation techniques teach you to "label" thoughts and feelings as they emerge. Labelling them is supposed to help you see them for what they are - ephemeral, impermanent, and not part of your identity.

So I think the author is on to something with the self therapy idea.
It sounds like you're saying the "ends justify the means".

Perhaps its not embarrassment that makes people want privacy, but fear of retribution. Consider someone living during the McCarthy era in the US. Speaking up could be career ending, and in the long run, if things had progressed to a more authoritarian regime, life threatening.

As one of the earlier posters said, I think many people see a slide into authoritarianism on both sides of the political spectrum. And it strikes me, that not being able to have secrets or privacy supports authoritarianism more than furthering democracy.
HelpScout is a super competent team inbox solution, but yes - it's simply not designed for supporting an entire company.

Similar experience. CBVs didn't exist when I started using Django, but I switched over to using them almost exclusively when they were introduced.

Reading Luke's articles brought me back to FBVs, now I avoid CBVs whenever I can and feel happier for it.

The CCBV site from the original post seems nice and handy though.
Everyone knows protests are only legitimate if they have significant corporate sponsorship and the full-throated support of prominent politicians and celebrities in the entertainment industry.
> Unless regulators shut them down or expose them quite clearly as mlm/ frauds I suspect this isn’t going to stop.

It seems, based on this action that the SEC just went through with, that things like BlockFi are not "clearly MLM / fraud" as you say, as otherwise they would indeed try to get them shutdown, not just slap a tiny fine on them.
Did they offer an unregulated security where there is a chance to lose principle to unsophisticated retail investor which is well known to be illegal? The answer to that is yes.
> the unvaccinated would have immunity from just the one variant and not all of them uniformly

And "the vaccinated" have immunity from just one protein, from one variant, which is even lower.

If anything recovered people have better immunity, not worse.

The best strategy right now is to get vaccinated, and also get Omicron - then you have the best of both worlds, without the risk. But someone who took the risk, and recovered, is perfectly safe.
Considering that you live in Austin how do you know the exact nature of the protests? Have you visited? Or is this what you read/saw in media?

It's also interesting how you contrast this to the BLM protests. I'm not sure how long a BLM protest would have been allowed to block a major traffic artery worth the 100s of million $ per day?
If other first world countries don't have this problem, what do they do? Let's just copy the ones who do it best.

I really am of two minds. My natural inclination until I was married was to stay in and hack computer music most of the time, work out when it seemed like a good time, go to coffee with people at work, and maybe go to a party once a week. But my favorite experiences are usually conversations. Mountains, oceans, etc. are nice too but really the most fun I have is in conversation. And yet I have to force myself to pursue it.
I think this is for higher level contact - not personal friendships. Networking for professional development - more along those lines.

Something I need to get back into. Interacting, at least casually, on a routine basis with a wide amount of people has lead to every job I have ever held - they came to me based on my reputation or past interactions. It's definitely the best way to get a new (and better) job rather than blindly fishing for them.

That's the real power of systems like this. Not to develop personal friendships, but to remain relevant in the eyes of a large number of people so that if they have a future opportunity you will be top of mind for how they can get it addressed.

I think it's why he stresses making the contacts personal and with meaning/value specific to that person. These aren't soulless automated computer generated emails, but a system to prompt him to write relevant and sincere contact messages.

Is it a lot of work? Sure. But building up a network of people who see you as contributing value is priceless.

Every time I see some mention of HN as "the orange site" I desperately want to talk about how you can change the top color.

Edit: My top color: 9A87AB

It pairs well with the background and text and is easy on my wonky eyes.

That article is misleading, because it's comparing hazard rates of people who have had COVID before and were unvaccinated versus people who didn't have COVID before and were vaccinated. Best case scenario are people who are vaccinated and had COVID. Worst off are people are not vaccinated and hadn't had COVID.

I've seen this claim elsewhere and it's frustrating because people just read the headline and regurgitate this nonsense. So much for "doing your own research".
Interesting. I rarely think anyones a liar. I almost always think people are misinformed, unintentionally making poor assumptions, or just deluding themselves with extremely weak evidence that fits their mental model.
