Yeah, honestly it just shows how little americans know about the outside world. That there is even a discourse around racism in the US shows that people care enough about the issue. Outside the anglosphere, it is so normalized and institutionalized that it's not even a controversial issue. And when it is, it would be for issues that are way outside of the normal anglo overton window on racism. For example, it's generally accepted in france that you can't go to university if you wear a headscarf. It's not even a debate anymore really.

Same goes for roma people, you won't ever really get any discussion on the racial dynamics or the socioeconomic circumstances that lead to the higher crime rates etc. It does not matter, the only discussion is around how much discrimination is maybe too much. The discrimination itself isnt even an issue.
Rendering them inline might not be ideal but user research has shown that having more than a couple of tabs on mobile leads to problems. They are exacerbated when the tabs wrap on to multiple lines - or heaven forbid, require horizonal scrolling.

From a usability point of view rendering the content online makes sense.

It has the added benefit of working well for people who have disabled JavaScript too.

There was another article posted a month or so back with the other founders perspective. As an outsider, Cassidy seems to be the more reasonable of the two, but I can't know that for sure when viewing the whole situation through a peephole. https://lunduke.substack.com/p/elementary-os-is-imploding?s=...
RFC 9226: Bioctal, Hexadecimal 2.0

When you're deep in a program, it's not uncommon to have a ton of keyboard shortcuts. More than just command-x can cover. More than adding in command-shift-x will cover. Maybe even more than three-modifier commands will cover. And hitting, say, command-alt-shift-d is a heck of a finger twister.

So you start looking for more keys. I use Karabiner to turn capslock into command-alt-shift and fn-anything-but-a-function-key into command-shift. Or you make a keyboard with more keys - look up the "Space Cadet Keyboard" for a classic example. Or you get a couple of foot pedals.

(Foot pedals have other uses, too - transcriptionists have pedals designed to act as transport controls for the playback of the audio they're typing, so they never have to take their hands off the keyboard. I'm told they help speed things up a lot.)

You also don't necessarily have all those keyboard shortcuts memorized. But if you operate on a principle of "anything I need to do twice in ten minutes probably needs a shortcut so I can do it a ton faster next time I gotta do it a lot" it's easy to accumulate them, in any tool.
I read the article, and that was my take away. I just re-read it and stand by my comment.
Lightning scales infinitely.

There are people using Bitcoin as a currency, via lightning, right now. More join all the time. The network expands.

It is a currency, is used as a currency, as sats. It is also a long term store of value as Bitcoin. You can ignore reality as much as your like, but the world has moved on from your 2017 era complaints.
Airbnb | Remote (preferably West Coast), Seattle, WA or San Francisco, CA | Staff/Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | airbnb.com

Airbnb Infrastructure is hiring for several key positions - we're looking for talented engineers across a wide variety of domains to build the platform that supports our mission to create a world where anyone can belong anywhere.

Airbnb is at a pivotal point in its growth and maturity as an engineering organisation. We run some of the largest Kubernetes clusters in the industry, have open sourced some extremely successful data tools (e.g. Superset), and are rapidly adopting newer technologies like Flink and Istio.

We use Terraform, AWS and Chef extensively. My team (Cloud Infra > Compute Infra) mostly uses Golang but it helps to have familiarity with (or a lack of fear of) Java and Ruby, which most of our product teams use.

We are members of the CNCF end user community, and I recently shared my perspective on the Kubernetes ecosystem as part of a panel discussion [1].

I’m specifically helping hire for our Cloud Infra team, looking for engineers with experience with:

+ Kubernetes

+ Istio/other service meshes

+ Golang

+ Disaster recovery

+ Large scale infrastructure (think Borg, or Tupperware)

+ Load balancing and edge/cloud networking

+ CDNs

Note that these positions are for experienced engineers and it helps if you have 5+ years of experience and/or have acted in a similar capacity in prior roles.

Check out all open roles and apply on our site [2]. Note that most of these Cloud roles are not yet listed on our site. If preferable, you can also send me a brief note about why you'd be a good fit, a link to the role you're interested in, and a resume to sunil.shah@airbnb.com.

I have a couple scripts that manipulate a stupidly simple "every line is a todo" format ".ck" file anywhere up from the CWD, combined with logic in my PROMPT_COMMAND to print the top item.
Sorry, by mistake I have replied to the text quoted by you, which claimed a higher precision without specifying the conditions when that is true.

I should have replied one level above.

Regarding voltages, an application that would just add voltages would use numbers in a limited range, which could be well represented by posits.

However no such applications exist. The real applcations multiply and divide different kinds of physical quantities before adding them, and they might mix in computations voltages in kilovolts with currents in picoamperes, capacitances in femtofarads, the Boltzmann constant, the elementary charge, and so on.

The intermediate quantities that appear in various computations may have an exponent range at least 2 or 3 times larger than the exponent range present in the input data or output data, so it is frequent to exceed the exponent range provided by single-precision floating-point numbers, i.e. 10^(+/-38).
It would increase operational costs. The satellite lifetime is limited by propellant capacity (especially at the low altitudes where Starlink operates). Mercury thrusters would be significantly less efficient than the krypton thrusters they currently use, due to Mercury's higher atomic mass.

Actually, when I got my math degree I noticed the same two sets of people. The memorizers and the ones who enjoyed solving problems. Software works just like math (where math is doing proofs, often with new things you're not familiar with).
I think it's a combination of factors: it is technical, it is funny, it is well written, it resonates with anyone who had to deal with "quirky" hardware, car or not (a.k.a. "that PC that only boots if you press and hold CapsLock"), plus the fact that the weekend is almost here.
Aside from foot switches, you could mount "knee switches" which are just more foot switches glued to the underside of your desk.

I still want to buy a later model 90s one, throw an LS7 in there, and overhaul the interior. Would be an amazing vehicle.
Yeah just read that. Lunduke is apparently purposefully misgendering and dead naming Danielle Foré in that article, which is important context. But the tweets are still good background.

My main takeaway: always have a pre-nup.
> or people who have to use outdated hardware

I think Linux’s hardware agnosticism is both a blessing and a curse. Yes, you can run it anywhere, but it doesn’t run great anywhere.

I think that could change though. IMHO, Asahi Linux is one of the most interesting things going on in the world of Linux right now. They don’t have to support a lot of different hardware configurations so I think they have a good chance of really getting things dialed in and creating a super polished product.

Since you work on the kernel, maybe you can answer this - does Linux have something similar to timer coalescing? IIRC, that’s one of thing in macOS that helps them with battery life.
Seems like something someone believes out of hope right?

That there is something more than this. That it isn't just over. Something to keep people from giving up.

Edit: hope it didn't come off like I was talking down to people who believe what they believe. It's your life, it's your after life. Stay safe yall.
It is obviously a matter of willpower.

The Republicans have no problem getting their moderate members to toe the line on their more extreme stuff.

"Moderate" Republican party members would make their statements about "this isn't the way things are done' every time Trump did something crazy, but every single one folded and fell in line, every single time.

If it was the priority of the Democratic national party leadership to get real, actual big legislation done that benefited workers over companies and investors, then they would. They do everything they can to block, blacklist, and crush campaigns of progressive primary challengers. They could do that to the "moderate" members who don't want to pass any legislation at all, if passing that legislation was really a priority.

It's just obviously not something they care about, and it's obvious why.

The party is run by obscenely wealthy members and donors, just like the Republicans are.
This should be labeled June 8 2020, since it's otherwise obviously April Fools fodder.

Honestly, I feel like I've missed all April 1st jokes this year.
Oh god now I kinda want this. I am saved by the fact that I can't think of a way to use this that fits into what I do but I want this.
elementary's daily/preview builds are only accessible to GitHub sponsors over a certain amount. I wonder how that worked out, because I like this pseudo-subscription model a lot better, and wish AppCenter could even figure out that I'm a supporter and redistribute some of my $$$ to apps that I often use.

Sorry, should have specified: I'm the original implementor. I'm on the paper with John Gustafson, and presenter/live-demoer of the second half the Stanford video.

There is a paper coming out with details on the yonemoto -2 hidden bit method... I don't know if it's still preprint or embargoed or what but it is recent. I'm really not involved in the project anymore so my knowledge of the existence of this paper is only due to the courtesy of the authors.
The glasses thing is a simile. As for why not an iMac? Presumably because he doesn't want an iMac. He could prefer a laptop, or still need Intel, or want a bigger screen, or some other reason.
The "enlightening background about history between these two and the author" mentioned above:

>Keep in mind that the author [Bryan Lunduke] is not neutral here: Since he's expressed his position against trans people, and by doing that parted ways with Danielle Foré before (who previously identified as Daniel Foré and participated in his youtube videos), and also you can see that [the article] refuses to use the actual name for Danielle; it's not surprising that he wants to reach a conclusion against her.

Edit: Since there seems to be some confusion, this is about the author of the OP post linked in the comment above, not the OP link of this HN thread.
Yes, of course. And yet, having a gap on a resume is also something people make judgments about.

"Software Defects Considered Harmful Unless Fixing Them Enables Charging Customers For An Update"

Fixed that for you.
"neurodiversity" is another case of hyper-pathologization . Everyone has quirks. Moreover, its enabling antisocial behavior. If someone is impolite we call them "on the spectrum" and accept it.

Not everything is a disease. Human behavior is very diverse and there's a broad spectrum of perfectly normal individuals.
I've noticed this on the blog too. The Design System itself has better spacing.

They make automatic semi trucks these days, so depending on your POV, that's either closer or futher from the platonic ideal for transmission layout.
> To everyone else, labelling a phone number 'text' makes much less sense than labelling a telephone number a number.

In some jurisdictions there’s a strong culture of having phone numbers represented as text - so they’re easier to remember. Especially popular for toll free numbers.

I presume that this culture has lead to the popularity of overlaying the alphabet over numeric keypads, for banking machines and payment terminals. As a result, I remember some of my associated pass codes as words, not as numbers.

So there are some real world scenarios where a human thinks a word, while the data item is a number.
You think in rich states (like california) with liberal, democratic legislation and liberal governors that the political parties are the ones keeping schools from being effective?
I choose not to use the term “gypped” in technical contexts even though I live in the US.

I wouldn’t use “genocide” to describe a technical concept even though it’s been over a century since the US has taken part in one.

Why not error on the side of decency?

> The idea of the republican working class party has always been more of a clever rhetorical strategy than a reality.

I tend to agree, but then again I really don't grok the Trump thing, and I can't claim that I saw it coming or sticking around as long as it has. At this point I would not be terribly shocked to see a bit of role reversal between the two major parties.
I have recently moved the ctrl key away from the "caps lock" position on my Ergodox and onto the thumb cluster, it's already improving the strain in my pinky. I took the initial move since the corner position is about the worst kind of stretch for a lot of key combinations, but with the amount that I use the ctrl key there's no doubt in my mind I should be using my strongest digit.

Show HN: We instituted a Harberger Tax for leaderboard spots
Possibly with numbers. Can you properly visualize a tennis ball next to a baseball and tell which is larger? I was never much of an athlete (in the sports ball sense, at least) and have insufficient experience with either to tell you definitively which is larger (I looked it up, my guess was baseball and that turned out to be correct). The fact is that a small but still standard sized baseball is only 5mm larger than a large but still standard sized tennis ball. That is near enough that my memory (I played baseball last as a kid) could not distinguish between the size of the two objects.

But now I know the fact, a standard baseball is larger than a standard tennis ball (now, don't ask me in a few weeks what the actual sizes are, I will probably forget, though I will probably remember that the baseball is larger).

Another way is just having knowledge of relative sizes and the ability to perform rudimentary logic. A tennis ball feels about the same in my hand as a door knob (in terms of size and ability to wrap my hand around it, bigger than most but not by too much). A keyhole fits into a doorknob. I'd have to be really drunk to not realize the logical implication of that: A tennis ball won't fit into a keyhole (assuming both are standard sized and we're not talking about a comedian's prop key and keyhole).
No, the exact opposite for me: Code that works on first run is almost always actually bug free; if I find one bug in a piece of code, then I almost always fine more eventually.
> Just because you could shoehorn reality into a physical model, does not make it equally valid.

Hey, physicists do it all the time. Having mathematical representations of how things work in the real world often turn out to give you complex devices that you wouldn't get by intuition alone. Thanks to doing it, we have Special Relativity and Schrodinger equations, that bring you advantages as GPS and insanely-high-speed networks.

There's nothing wrong with modelling interrupts and mutable state as static mathematical entities a.k.a. functions; and if you think it is, you don't know enough about functional programming - in fact, doing it allows for advanced tactics like automatic verification and very high scale generation of electronic devices.

Those less degrees of indirection may make it simple to build some kinds of programs; but they also introduce complexity in modelling the possible states of the system when you allow for arbitrary, unchecked side effects. So no, that representation is not inherently better - only most suited for some tasks than others; but the converse is also true for functional models of computation. If you think it is always better, it's because you're not taking all possible scenarios and utilities into account.

(Besides, as I already said elsewhere, "computers are mutable state" is not incompatible with functional representation; as mutable state can be represented with it). It seems that you're confusing mutable, wich is a property of computational devices, with 'imperative' which is a style of writing source code and defining relations between statements in your written program.

> Literally the exact opposite of functional, IO registers are the epitome of global mutable state.

Yup, you definitively don't know what functional programming is if you think you can't have global mutable state in it. In fact, every top-level Haskell program is defined as a global mutable IO monad...
The issue is that most native date input pickers use a calendar, which is not always useful for some situations. If I'm planning a vacation, picking start and end dates, sure that could be handy. But if I'm entering something like my birthday, how does the calendar help me? It doesn't really help me to know that I was born on a Tuesday. There is one specific correct answer that I know by heart, I'd rather input it directly than page back in time a few decades and find the right square to click on.
Sure, but it should be perfectly possible to improve it to the level of the front-facing camera on the iPad Pro, which has an "ultra-wide" camera for "center stage" as well.
Not the OP but we did similar and this front end gateway/"backend for front end" would do the roles checks, yes. Back end services could do course grained checks if needed.
