Apologies for my ignorance here, but what is the current "market penetration" for reproducible builds? As in, if you combine all sources of FLOSS binaries, what percentage of total binaries follow use this system?

Looking at the site you linked, am I to correct that this is still early days in actual implementation?
This question applies to the west and not to the east.

I remember, when I first moved to the west, I was staying with an European family. The husband-wife duo were so tensed for weeks that their 17 year old son did not have a girlfriend! This was new to me. They finally relaxed when he went with a girl for dinner one day :)

In the east(at least in India) the saying is "Pehele naukri, phir chokri" meaning, "First job/income, then girl". Almost all parents(and also the society) expects that guys/girls first have decent education and foundation to get a job/income. And then they can think of cuckooing.

So, I don't understand where are you getting your signals from when you say "everyone" and who your target audience is.

That's a presumption about ownership of anything under the reign of a government. How is that argument crypto specific at all? Also, that 4.5 billion was mostly confiscatable because of poor key management - not people handing over their keys under duress. Also also, pretending like telling a bank to freeze an account vs threatening you into giving your keys are the same is ridiculous.

Your linked article doesn't seem completely accurate to me.

Sorry for the late reply;

There is a whole section called "Woke as a pejorative term", also an earlier section states: "there is no single agreed-upon definition of woke".

The point is instead of interacting with the thread to find out the contextual meaning, you decided to settle one a definition simplistic enough to conclude "op is for racism/discrimination".

First, formal logical analysis of complex semantics (which that Wikipedia page implies is the case for the word "woke") doesn't work.

Even if it did, "anti-" can refer to any aspect of something; and since there is often no distinction between a-<something> and anti-<something>, this further illustrates why trying to guess the meaning of a word doesn't work.

> If you have an alterative defintion that would refute the conclusion then I'm all ears.

Given by wccrawford in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30349172

Which also calls into question your disingenuity:

> I'm just stuggling to see why being alert to racial prejudice and discrimination is bad thing

wccrawford pretty clearly explained it, but here you are reverting back to ignorance.
"but that they have no special additional capacity to raise prices in response to land taxes."

How so? If all landlords now have a significant new cost, why would they not raise rent to cover it?

This seems to say they cover 80-90% of tax increases through rent increases. And commercial properties should be more competitive.

If it's publish or perish, double checking numbers of a paper will help you do the latter much more than the former.

> My view on this is that, unfortunately, blue team positions are seen as entry positions. In general blue team members have little autonomy. They don't chose the suite of tools, protocols and have little mandate in a company to change a single thing since they're a cost centre.

And companies looking for experienced people somehow expect the pipeline of candidates that often come from such a typical environment to have all kinds of advanced skills already. Which obviously doesn't work, and thus they compete for the same small-ish talent pool (which has skills also applicable in plenty other roles too) instead of building that pool.
I use Obsidian for my own notes that only live on my machine, then they bake there for a while until they get refined enough to turn it into something that others can read in which case it gets published within Confluence.

Personally I'd rather see a knowledge base that is in pure Markdown, perhaps a static site that auto-publishes on push to a specific repo. I just like the idea of being in control of the text, plus it means you can write these docs in the comfort of your editor instead of using a slow web UI. Right now I end up writing it offline and copy / pasting it along with formatting it in Confluence afterwards, it feels like a little wasted effort.

We try to reserve these types of docs to be guides, it's more like blog posts not so much a detailed instruction list on how to use some library or app. This way they don't really get outdated because a library or step changed.

I'm a big fan of never deleting guides and notes though, for the not needed ones I'd still keep them around but maybe move them into an archive section. Really, a static site generator has all of the tools to make a really nice system for this. You could also spend a day to make a little back-end to offer full text search too.

They didn't fall behind all that much, they were just too expensive. The PC platform used to be expensive too, but then became quite a bit cheaper in the 1990s.
> Who will enforce any kinds of laws?

Maybe you and me, and our neighbors, as a community. Why would we concentrate police powers in the hand of a specialized militia answering only to the psychopaths in government? Cops are never here when we need them to protect actual people, but they always show up and mess everything up when things were getting better.

Laws are written in a social context. You can break laws without harming anyone, in which case nobody in your neighborhood may mind (and maybe some people would like to repel that law at the next general assembly). If some people think you are harming others, then there are many ways to try and find an arrangement to the situation and repair any wrongdoing (see also: reparative/transformative justice).

Of course, some extreme cases require use of violence to control a person who's physically endangering others. Why would we make a job out of it, though? Concentrating those powers and responsibilities into a finite set of hands sounds like a fragile system that can be abused.

See also: past HN threads about the positive outcomes of not involving police for mental episodes, accounts/studies of indigenous systems of justice (such as in Chiapas), and academic research on the abolition of prisons (Angela Davis, Gwenola Ricordeau).

> how can anyone that has heard of any amount of history take seriously the idea that a country like the US can just abolish its military without it being in catastrophic danger?

The US is the catastrophic danger to many countries (Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, etc). By dismantling the US military industrial complex, we'd be doing a lot to promote peace and stability across the entire globe. The USA is still by far the largest military in the world and has helped countless coup d'État and assassinations. If only those, the war files released by Wikileaks and the recent debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan should be good examples of the military producing the exact opposite of its stated goals.

> If the abstraction of money didn't exist, what would happen exactly?

It depends on a wide variety of social/cultural factors. There's not a one-size-fits-all way of life, and each community may adopt different approaches to property and commercial exchanges. But in my opinion and experience taking away the abstraction allows us to focus on actual concrete problems.

For example, think about housing: by reasoning in terms of money, you reach the conclusion that we need more investment in new housing. By thinking without money, you can notice empty dwellings outnumber homeless people > 10-to-1, so the question becomes: if we have enough housing for everyone, why would we let people be homeless?
Oh this is very true. There are actually a few django and Ruby on Rails jobs open in my area (region midt) on a fairly regular basis. There are a lot of node jobs as well as most things have moved to have some sort of TypeScript front end.

I’m not sure those really count as “new and hipster”, however, I mean the person I was replying to was lamenting “react” being old. ;)

You mean in the 1980s? Linux wasn’t used before this wasn’t a concern for sysadmins and DBAs. This concern has been raised for years - back in the PowerPC era the numbers were lower but you had the same arguments about whether Apple had made the right trade-offs, or Linux or Solaris, etc.

Given the extreme rarity of filesystem corruption being a problem these days, one might conclude that the engineers who made the assumption that batteries covered laptop users and anyone who cares about this will be using clustering / UPS were correct.

There are thousands, if not millions, of developers, now using serverless to build real-life customer-facing applications. As in the whole new tech, it gets adopted for non mission critical apps first between 2016-2018. Starting with 2019, more and more companies adopted the technology and the Cloud providers, especially AWS, invested heavily to improve the integrations and remove the roadblockers. See how Lego has moved the whole e-commerce app into serverless. https://medium.com/lego-engineering/accelerating-with-server...

I also strongly believe that severless is an overloaded term and everyone understands something different from it. Some people consider this only as a FaaS but I think that it's any cloud service, that can auto-scale to infinity, scales to zero, pay-per-use and managed. I frankly believe Serverless should be regarded as a paradigm rather than a technology advancement. here's a very nice blog about it: https://ben11kehoe.medium.com/serverless-is-a-state-of-mind-...

This is classic "optimization of x destroys the rest of the alphabet." I wish more businesses employed some sort of systems thinking and realized that rules are coordination mechanisms that carry the capacity to destroy value. They're absolutely great when they create predictability and coordination at minimal cost, but they can destroy your company if all they do is impede activities that generate the value your business actually earns profit from.

Whether or not you go insane when exposed to emotional stress has nothing to do with your character or personality. It’s biochemical. I hate the way that this article says “it’s impossible to predict who will go insane and who won’t” and it’s universally accepted when it’s not true and is based on untrue and harmful fuzzy thinking. It’s like saying “it’s impossible for man to fly” which may have been true in a practical sense a thousand years ago but it was never actually true. If more people had appreciated that, maybe we would have been flying much earlier.

The reason he says it’s impossible is because he thinks it’s based on subtle aspects of personality traits which are ephemeral and impossible to grasp.

Of course you can predict who will go insane. There are specific biochemical pathways that are responsible. In the future when we have mastered them we will probably find that there are certain obvious traits that correlate strongly to the disposition. It is often the case that the simple truth was hiding right in front of us.
Ironically, "we're not a family" may end up being nearly identical to "we're a family".

People distrust "we're a family" because it's an illusion, not because of the potential for an actual sort of "family" or friendship. But they may also come to distrust "we're not a family" once it becomes as cliche and they realize that every company they work for that makes such a claim will inevitably devolve into making the employee-employer relationship out to be more than it actually is or should be.

I disbelieve most corporate values because companies are run by humans, and humans are pretty bad at self evaluation. Well, that and I've had enough experience to tell me that explicitly stated corporate values usually mean very little in practice. Only you can unveil a company's values, though that's no easy task beyond some basic red/green flags.
Got a couple of my dad's old employment performance reviews yesterday from his time overwintering in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It's a standard list of 21 questions applied to each person, each question scoring from 1 to 5, so not dissimilar to the sort of performance review many of us will be familiar with. Some of the questions could even conceivably appear in an IT performance review, e.g. "2. His work is well planned and organised" and "7. He utilises his technical knowledge". However, given the nature of both working and living with people in close confinement and in adverse conditions, there are definitely a few questions you wouldn't see for the typical office job (although arguably we should:-), e.g.

- "10. He is well liked by his associates"

- "12. He is stable and well adjusted"

- "13. In restricted living and working conditions, he is not a source of friction"

- "19. He has no distasteful personal characteristics"

- "20. I would select him to live and work with under adverse field conditions"

Why would anyone want solid pine? Furniture has been made of veneered wood for a very long time. It has been popular since the late 17th century, long before IKEA.

IKEA do have some solid pine (furu). Here is one https://www.ikea.com/no/no/p/rast-kommode-med-3-skuffer-furu...

It didn't take long to find it in their catalogue.

Anyway, IKEA is not the only company selling furniture.

You are correct that most solid woods are expensive (not pine usually though) but that is at least in part simply due to high demand for such furniture and the lack of supply of the raw materials.

Agree with the basic premise that the main political division is not between “right” and “left” but “educated people” (ie progressive college-educated) vs “uneducated people” (the working classes.)

Disagree that it’s clear who is right. We will have to wait 20-30 years to see. (Personally I think the working classes are wiser than the progressive elites, but that’s just one opinion..)
> We can also look from that side, that USSR was unreliable ally(also to Third Reich, which USSR was preparing to invade, while it hoped that it was busy invading Britain)

This has been thoroughly debunked by most mainstream historians.

The view that the USSR had infiltrated the US and was commandeering its war effort during WW2 is so fringe I'm not touching it with a ten feet pole.

Although I'm European (Dutch), I'm inclined to agree more with the Indian saying than that European family. Of course if one of my sons were to get a girlfriend, I'd welcome her, but in general it's a good idea to get your own life together before committing to a relationship. Average age of marriage here is 30, which I think is a fine age for it.

(Of course there's a difference between sex, relationship and marriage, and I'm aware I'm somewhat conflating them in this discussion.)
Same here. The only time I’ve bought a book is when the price is less than $14.95.

The author seems disingenuous to propose that the retail price in audible is anything that anyone expects. I assume he’s not stupid and is aware of this so not bringing up this point is misleading.

It’s like if someone wrote a blog post enraged that BMG Record Club wasn’t paying them out a percent of retail prices without pointing out that BMG’s whole model was 10 CDs for a penny and then 2 for the price of one (or whatever the ridiculous price scheme was).
Oh yeah, I see what you mean. Absolutely agree on that.

As a Haskell beginner I have no idea what this error message means.

What is `it`? Perhaps it is the argument for ghciInteractivePrint? That is what the error says. But what is ghciInteractivePrint that wasn't in the original code? I'm guessing an alias for print.

The error seems to be

No instance for (Num [Integer])

Which doesn't say anything about +

So I'm still in the dark about this error message!
I absolutely love the HN Algolia search. I am amazed by its sheer speed, and that it does exactly what you'd expect, lets you sort by popularity and filter by time, and does no neural-network-deep-learning-garbage query rewriting.

I'm thankful for its existence, and I hope they get plenty of clients due to this HN demo of their power.

I hope they can afford to keep it alive forever. I use it instead of the " reddit" suffix in Google, usually HN has what I'm interested in, and in any case has much higher signal-to-noise ratio.

I don't understand what you think this paragraph adds to the conversation. It obviously is complicated, since this is what I've been arguing against for dozens of comments now: the rest of the world outside the US doesn't agree with this explanation.
A company always consists of individuals that have to make trade-offs, so to the extent it has a cohesive culture at all, it will have values that are expressed in those trade-offs. But values (or anti-values) that a company publicly espouses do not need to coincide with its actual values: a value statement of being inclusive does not prevent a culture of bullying, and a value statement of putting the customer first does not prevent the actual value being to screw the customer whenever profitable.

"Descriptive" vs "aspirational" values, if you will.
The most concrete counterexample I can think of is the Windows XP leak -- as source code was leaked Microsoft seemed to be really annoyed because security flaws were kept all the way up to Windows 10 (in the name of backwards compatibility).
You save a large amount of time and energy by having one point of contact for multiple disparate services/skills.

In other words such a person delivers a higher amount of value, above the individual tasks done, by saving you time on coordination and hiring.

I'm wondering if your offers are reflecting this value that a multi-skilled person would provide you? Or do you expect to get the benefit of their extra skills for free while they don't benefit from their own skillset, which they must have spent a lot of time learning?
