Let's say I make a Christian dating website. In its sign-up terms it asks one to certify that one is indeed a Christian before joining. According to you, I should not even be allowed to create this website because it discriminates Christians from non-Christians. If I don't discriminate, then the website has no reason to exist as its entire purpose was to bring Christian singles together. Congratulations, you have successfully disenfranchised an entire group of religious people that simply want to meet others like them.

Now change things around and pretend the dating website was for LGBTQ+ people. Do you see how you cannot possibly implement your proposal in a non-discriminatory way? Freedom of association is a thing because humans want to associate with like humans. This has been the case for all of human history. That doesn't automatically ascribe evil intent to anyone--whether a Christian on my hypothetical Christian dating website or an LGBTQ+ person on an LGBTQ+ dating website. Each group simply wants to associate with one another.

The beautiful thing about the United States is that people have fifty states from which to choose. If you favor one type of association move to states that generally believe those things. If you favor another, move to those states. Having the federal government dictate that all states will favor associations only between certain approved groups is a recipe for discord.
you cannot compare the market gains with job raises - the market gains have a risk element that job raises do not.

a 5% risk free return is not bad. I would actually say that if your job did not change over those decades, it might not make sense to get paid more than just matching inflation!

This depends on the platform you're using. On Fedora and RHEL 9, the default runtime is crun. On RHEL 7 and RHEL 8, the default is runc. In any case they can be swapped as needed.

Totally agree with one exception.

"They have all the features" isn't the case for game developers. Steam backend for developers and statistics is still pretty terrible.
I've increasingly become aware that I'm not at all like many here. I don't really care about my salary, as long as it's enough to live on. I don't live to work - I work to live.

I love my job, and give it 110% (and I don't even count in binary when I say that), but at the end of the day, it doesn't define me. It's a means to an end. I believe in the company and what we're building, and as such I'll stay until I retire. I'm not going to jump ship over pay.
My bad -- and thanks for clarifying that. Must be my small sample so far. If I keep playing Wordle long enough, it looks as if I'll get a full dose of despair after all.

Because management believes that only the business or PM (as in project manager) are worth their salts and important.

For some reasons, PM are thought to have a great understanding of both functionals and technicals of a solution, while at best, the only good they are at is navigating the organization and shielding the team.

So in a word, management is most likely useless and PM even more, especially if the management believes that a PM can handle a few projects at a time for cost saving (!).
The assumption is that the actual borders of DNR and LNR will be solved by diplomacy, and Kyiv has hinted that it will try to find a diplomatic solution.
Don’t hate the player (the PR employee). If you want to influence government policy you have to play the game. If you don’t, great, that’s good (I support that), but don’t complain when the President doesn't mention Tesla. Engineers are sometimes too sheltered, we only complain on our forums here after the fact.
I did an idle battery life test. 1% per hour. Turned on, with the screen off, and an active SSH session.

That's better than many x86 laptops in full-on sleep mode. With the OS running.

People underestimate just how good modern power management can get when the vendor cares.
Since this is about immutable "side car" data structures used during unwinding: could this be achieved using a soft ABI transition as opposed to a hard, flag day ABI break?

Basically, going forward the compiler would emit two versions of the unwinding tables by default: the legacy one and the one that allows fixing the thread contention issue. The unwinder is changed to use the efficient version by default with the ability to fall back to locking if it encounters a shared object that only has the old version.

Space conscious users could choose to emit only one version by using a compiler flag, and after a decade or so the compiler is switched to only emit the new version by default (but the unwinder could retain the capability to understand the old format for a few decades longer).

It seems like most of the table contents should even be shareable between versions? The locking seems to be only there to guard against shared object loading/unloading which should only affect the topmost level of the data structure.

Admittedly I have no idea how those tables are actually defined today.

No worries, but just know while you do you, I'm doing me.

It's telling that so little of this conversation is conscious of who does and does not have access to 'a cashless society' and the myriad of ways the poor and working class are abused by it.

Digital Jail? Seriously? Show me the concern when the feds seize the assets of someone they accuse of being a terrorist or a drug kingpin.

HN suddenly cares about this because of some generalized hatred of Trudeau, but I can't remember a thread generating thousands of comments about companies trying to force employees to accept pay on fee heavy debit cards.

The way that discussing a Canadian protest about vaccine mandates has come to take over HN feels bizarre, agenda pushy, and like a bunch of crocodile tears.
My son just gets annoyed when he can’t find the “Skip Ad” button on the TV. That he has no experience with cable or broadcast TV is probably going to shock him eventually.
Which is exactly what I'm talking about. Communism = "for sufficient power to influence/accomplish a goal, you must be in the party elite (tens, at most hundreds of persons)". Liberal democracy: "for sufficient power to influence/accomplish a goal, you must start at least reasonably well off" (3 to 4 orders of magnitude more people)

"power" is distributed in democracies; The centralized nature of communism is its weakest spot, and it is by design.

I quit new 4 years ago when the Australian Right Wing extremist government was reelected after a properganda campagine by Rupert Murdoch. I said i wouldnt watch the news until the next election.

Come next election, i will never watch TV/the news, again. There is no need for it. I solicit news from my friends when i feel like i want to consume it (hardly ever). I instead spend time out in my community and neighbourhood doing what i can to improve the direct situation around me for which i have control.

If you spend your evening reviewing all the death and destruction and uncertaintity around the world, you will live a very lonely life.

I can see you are not a fan of Elon Musk but I don't really follow your logic.

His meme about Justin Trudeau clearly indicated he was not a fan of the government of Canada suspending civil liberties and freezing the bank accounts of Canadian citizens who disagree with Trudeau's policies. I don't see any indication that he thinks the Canadian government is bad because they are able to hold him accountable. Am I missing something?

Absolutely not, besides, even assuming that brutalism also include function over form, the site isn't true to materials, as links and fonts are obviously fancied up, and the page structure is absolutely hidden in a sea of white. Moreover, the structure is slaved to the content and not the other way around.

lol who donvoted this? you don't need more than two minutes of image search to utterly demolish the notion that brutalism is function over form.
I have an X1 Carbon Gen 9 with Ubuntu as my daily driver. Everything just works. Sleep, fingerprint etc.

The one thing the ended up keeping me from the Framework laptops was the lack of Home, End, Insert, Delete buttons. Having had a number of Thinkpad machines I have gotten used to using them all the time.

I also quite enjoy that I can put my hands on the keyboard and almost not move them at all while using the little knob for mouse-activities when keyboard shortcuts run out.
On my latest mobile safari I’m getting an error:

Yes this is it isn't it, it is clear how much the motivation matters in the case of Wordle. As it does, in a converse sense, for the games trying to extract as much money as possible from the user.
Nice share. Oriole DB updated the readme 17 days ago to say they'd release in February 2022, so I'll definitely be watching this space. These sounds like some really interesting striking-at-the-heart-of-it changes. I hope we have a long time to see which of these pan out & pay off big.

On a side note, nice interesting brief comments & shares elsewhere on this site. :thumbup:
Lots of talk about compensation here, but the reality is more complex.

The longer you go without moving the more divorced from industry standard practices you are.

Worked at google for 10 years and can’t spin up a docker container to save your life?

Every organisation has their own internal stacks and the longer you spend using them the more productive you get and the less productive you’ll be without them.

So… you know. Just remember the longer you stay, the less able to move you become.

There’s good things about, but also risky things about it.
The micron whitepaper you cited talks about how their higher tier strategy involves keeping enough capacitance around to write out the FTL, because it's DRAM copy is allowed to get out of sync when the write-cache is enabled.

> The hold-up circuitry also preserves enough time and energy to ensure that the FTL addressing table is properly saved to the NAND. This thorough amount of data protection not only ensures data integrity in unexpected power-loss events, but it also enables the system designer to leave the SSD’s write cache enabled, giving a significant advantage in data throughput speeds.
If your service is public facing and therefore subject to DoS attacks, you should design around the error path being fast.

Which really should be possible with exceptions. It's a shame that it isn't.
Hi, the line here is super clear.

If you're selling identical things, then you need to sell them to everyone equally regardless of anything.

If you're a public servant or god forbid a doctor or pharmacist then its you're sworn duty to serve the greatest good. If you don't want to dispense birth control or perform emergency abortions, then you picked the wrong profession.

I would argue however, that if you're an artist, an actual artist than you should probably be able to turn down a commission for any reason. It still makes you an asshole though. And to be clear, I'm talking about the case where you are asked create something entirely new, not "eh, I'll take cake #37."

The thing cuts both ways--I have a side business doing CNC/engraving/3d printing, really just a hobby... and I live in a conservative area. Lots of people want me to design something like a "Lets go Brandon" leather patch-- or horse tack (which I hand paint) with MAGA slogans on it.

I don't want to be associated with stuff like that. I think its well within my rights to turn work like that down.

I've turned down t-shirt orders that were beyond vulgar.
O'rly? It's late for me, so I'm being lazy and just point you to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art%2C_Truth_and_Politics instead of rambling endlessly about why you are WRONNQ!
Isn't half the problem in the U.S. at least, we don't have a legal differentiation between political commentary and "news" as in reporting the facts as they are?
I quit news a few months ago, but I felt guilty about it for a while. The feeling was that it was only through my exorbitant privilege that I was able to do that, but in all honestly... do people less privilege than myself derive any value from watching/consuming the news too? Does it help improve their situation? I'd say that in most cases the answer is "no".

What I've found is that the news I really need to know about reaches me anyway.
Thank you!! I have no experience in deep learning yet, but I can see it being useful for this system and would like to learn about it!
completely agree.

as if cash can't be seized.

"For most of history, we have thought about deprivation of liberty in quite literal terms. Short of execution, which Canada hasn’t done in 60 years, locking someone up has been the ultimate state sanction."

To open with such a statement is, frankly, ridiculous coming from anyone in Canada in this day and age. No mention of the genocidal tendencies towards the indigenous populations? No? Jail is clearly the worst thing that can happen to anyone.
This seems like something that depends a lot on (a) your happiness at your current job and (b) your current compensation. I'm a month shy of four years at my current employer, I like the job in general, and I am being paid well above what seems to be market rate for technical writers, even in Silicon Valley. Yes, I've tested that theory; I've talked to a few pretty big companies with good compensation packages and it turns out that the highest amount they're looking to pay would still be a drop for me. So I don't have a lot of motivation to be looking for work elsewhere right now.

I don't doubt that engineers can hop from job to job making tremendous increases these days, although that wasn't my experience when I was a web developer in the late 2000s and early 2010s. I generally did get an increase, but it was not like "woo my salary doubles every time a recruiter sneezes on it," which is kind of the vibe HN has given off for the last five years or so. I'm not convinced that's a sustainable model for the industry long-term, though.
It's an effort to distance themselves from those left/right labels that are so thoroughly debased as to afford little meaning[1].

>Police have not confirmed any link between their investigation into this incident and the ongoing convoy protest.

I invariably see some version of this post every single time somebody posts about the attempted arson.

Are you of the opinion that in order for something to be true that it has to be publicly confirmed by police? Do you consider the statement that you posted to be positive proof that the arsonists are _definitely not_ involved with the silly trucker tantrum?
Sorry to hear that. Although it still sounds better than the kivy situation.
The problem is best practices change over time.
The majority does get its way. That's the natural order of things, not an esoteric idea.

Allowing everyone else to participate and weigh the totality of needs and wants is what makes democracy different.
I agree with most points and I myself read and watch very little news, except for the most important ones. But I want also to highlight the still relevance of news and more importantly the conversations surround it.

For me as an on-the-side investor, relevant news can mean gain or loss. Conflicts like the Ukraine-Russian one can affect the price of oil and gas significantly, not just in the short term. We’ve also seen how much global logistics was affected by the event of Evergreen blocking the Sue canal. There are countless examples like that.

The second important aspect of news for me is the sentiment and conversation surround it. I want to understand what other people are thinking, what do they feel and how they are trying to explain and substantiate their thinking/believe. It’s not always intellectually enriching but sometimes it can be even enlightening, especially when it proved I was wrong or mistaken. Completely unaware of current news would not allow me to converse with people like that.

Nevertheless, I also see that most media today are trying to polarize people more than ever with the results that people are increasingly driven by belief and ideology instead of facts and logics. I afraid the classic news and reporting is an endangered species and reading news today will likely endanger your (not just mental) health.
Not sure what you mean, but yes I'm serious.

I rarely if ever carry cash. Nearly every transaction I make is via credit card. The only time I'll usually have cash is when traveling overseas (for emergencies, in the foreign currency, not USD). I find cash terribly inconvenient and annoying to use.

Meanwhile my wife loves using cash. I don't understand it. It's not for any privacy or idealogical reason - she says she just likes the old fashioned feel of handling physical money. She doesn't understand my dislike of using cash. As I said, we've agreed to disagree.

Every now and then when we're out together we'll encounter the rare merchant that doesn't accept credit card. Then she'll spot me with her cash. Otherwise we'll typically use our joint credit card. When she is out by herself she's much more likely to use the cash she always carries.

Sharing a Wordle result is the first application of coloured emojis that has been useful to me. Laughing or crying faces and hearts are nice, but don't really offer much over text emoticons like :-), <3 and such. But this method of sharing was not possible before coloured boxes were available as characters.
> Even on iOS 15.4 it only works for unlocking, and not for payment. ( Which seems like there are two level of security with Face ID, but I haven't seen any decent explanation yet)

I thought this was sucky also, but then realized payment could be done with my Apple Watch without unlocking as long as the watch was unlocked (and is somewhat secure because the watch auto locks when it comes off your wrist). This is really convenient, and now I’m using my watch for most of my payments.

> May be a wearable like Apple Watch is the solution to all of these. But I dislike Apple watch. Digital Crown should be in the middle, and I still prefer my watch in circle. And I just dont like charging my watch every other day.

Ah, so you already know the trick then, but can’t take advantage of it. Holding out will get worse as things like AutoKey become more pervasive (unlock your car or house by bringing your watch up to the lock, no unlock or explicit activation needed). Also, you can use your watch to unlock your phone (I guess, my security policy at work doesn’t let me try it).
You're on! $25 USD by TransferWise. There will be no further Russian military incursions into Ukraine proper by March 31st, except perhaps some shuffling around of the Donetsk/Luhansk border.

Note I'm not expecting Putin to stop playing chess, he will never stop with his political power moves, he might blockade Odessa, but there will be no bloodshed. Mark my words. I look forward to peace in Ukraine, for the first time in 8 years.

>Some of these people in Ukraine are hardcore neo-Nazis, and we are giving them weapons

And still, there is Trump in the US who won the race and mass shooting from nazis. Why does the US get any weapons?

It's strange rhetoric because there are many nazis in the US with regular hate crimes in media, but it will be hard to find any hate crimes in Ukraine.
Politically, nazi apologists in the US government got much more support than in Ukraine. From the last news after parliament election

>The main mouthpiece of the nationalists, Yarosh scored 0.7% of the vote in the presidential elections. In Russia, Sobchak (one of the opposition leaders) scored about the same. The number of seats in the parliament is 1 (one) for the nationalists from the "Samopomich" party, while the pro-Russian "OB" has 6. There is no right sector (nationalist supporters) at all in the new gathering.

Even with Putin's message that there are "no country like Ukraine, no Ukrainian language and culture, no Ukrainians as people at all," all that things that black people also can see in the US, there are LESS nationalist supporters than Russian supporters (a country, who started proxy war for 8 years already) in Ukraine.

Yeah, it seems like nazi to me.
Aside from the git trademark issue, which is easily resolvable, this project is interesting from a professional point of view because the concepts of SBOMs and the requirement to deliver them as part of NIST standards is becoming more important.

It's likely that these standards will start to "trickle down" from US Federal Government to other levels of US government and across general contract negotiations for software deliveries.

Has anyone started delivering SBOMs as part of their delivery? We've had to deliver reproducible build infrastructure and source as part of contractual escrow conditions, but there's a big difference between "reproducible" and actually byte-for-byte equality to a released SBOM.
