The tweet suggests the views targeted to are not ones related to taxation, government spending, or regulation-- standard fiscally conservative stuff. In its own act of conspicuous omission the tweet implies the censored views are obviously abhorrent ones. A later reply says the quiet part out loud, referring to the views of whiny conservatives as "racist views, misogynistic views, or xenophobic views".

Your comment states-- "I'm afraid I must oppose some ideas in ways other than ignoring them" to "get a doctor for my impoverished mother in law".

I think it's unclear to me precisely what you're saying here, but I can see how it can be read as saying you seek to silence fiscal conservatives who oppose state funded healthcare or other government support.

If your comment had not included an apparent example of a question of public policy that had little to do with racism, misogyny, xenophobia, or similar I suspect the person you're responding to wouldn't have seen any conflict.
Personally I'd suggest they uninstall their top apps by interruption. Aggressively turn off notifications.

> I bet few here have ever spent much time on a bus. Not a short hop on a city bus, an overnight inter-state trip on a greyhound. I have a couple times and each time I would have PAID for a TSA-style check before boarding. It would weed out 99% of crazy/high people who make such journeys so miserable for everyone around them.

The high price of the flight is what weeds those folks out. People don't take an overnight Greyhound because they love sleeping with their neck at a 45 degree angle, or because they love watching the worst parts of New Jersey roll by in pitch darkness.
Why do we still have the beep, beep, beep when trucks back up? We have backup cameras now. Everyone within half a mile is continually alerted that there's a truck backing up or a piece of construction equipment moving.

> With a well-written for loop, you can see all of that at a glance.

Yes, this is ultimately about the push for structured programming, which involves creating a pattern language of loops with "clean" semantics. Grouping the loop advancing statement with the other parts of a general loop construct helps wrt. recognition of known looping patterns.

This reminds me of working at PagerDuty which has two-way integrations with tools like Jira. You can have an incident be created when a Jira is created (inbound) and have a Jira be created when an incident is created (outbound). This exact case had to be checked for and prevented.

I think Jira would go down before PagerDuty.
That is very far from 'the worst' I can imagine in someone. Further, it is hardly 'automatic' - it is a response to a hypothetical situation the author posited, for which multiple people considered that as the most prominent concrete example. If the author did not intend that, he did a poor job of making his argument clear.

This is the pot calling the kettle black and serves to divide more than it does unite. In the past PG was heavy handed on HN, later handing over the reigns to dang et al. That doesn't mean his influence is gone, or that the initial thumb on the scale had no lasting impact.

> Even continuing to pay them their entire salaries while eliminating their jobs would save money in the form of increased airport efficiency.

Like many pro-efficiency/anti-waste rants, yours ended up flying to close to the sun here.

If you eliminate the TSA you also eliminate the entity doing the random screenings. And random screenings do provide some security which is difficult to game.

Hell, random screenings even publicly signal their unpredictability by generating news stories about a famous presidential candidate being pulled out of the line for a random screening.

That's the only bona fide security feature I know about the TSA-- I'm not a security expert, so there may be others.
That's correct, it wasn't the next version of the Ritchie compiler, it was a whole new compiler, the Portable C Compiler. It used yacc to generate the parser, and yacc complained about the ambiguity. They left the old syntax in for quite a while.
Nice to see an economic counterweight to the Deep State, and the inexorable expansion of government that it engenders.

The Deep State is any institutional interest in the state that is distinct from the public that the government represents.

One example would be the Military Industrial Complex.

Another would be those in the government who act on an incentive to maintain and expand regulatory restrictions on voluntary interaction.

Personally, I'm amused by the interpretation that the best way to comply with this law is to avoid all mention of gender and sexuality in classrooms. All children shall be "they"; books mentioning heterosexual romance will be forbidden from reading. It's the only way to avoid conveying some sort of instruction about the concept of gender identity...

It's clearly an advertisement, and not tailored to me in any way whatsoever - a cursory look at my profile should suggest that I'm not interested in any of the above.
Yeah - the joke is people say they move to suburbs to get 'peace and quiet' compared to a loud city, but city life is so much quieter (at least where I live). I'm sure that's not always the case, but I really hated the lawn equipment.

Sure in a city a loud motorcycle may go by, but that's like 10 seconds of noise? Compared to a revving leaf blower for an hour (and usually there are a bunch of them going).

They're even banned in Palo Alto, but it's not enforced.

I’m not a big Rust user, but my understanding is that Cargo.lock contains checksums. So the answer to your question would be no. Downloading a C++ lib and using Cargo are both effectively trust on first use.
> Like most 6E devices, the eero Pro 6E has a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, which is paired with another 1 Gbps port. This is a limitation of the Qualcomm chipset eero are using, which can’t provide 2.5 Gbps connectivity on both ports. This means that either your WAN connection or your LAN connection can break the gigabit barrier, but not both.

But you could just plug the 2.5 port into a switch connected to a router, no? Surely the eero doesn't have to be your router?

Are you... gatekeeping a mental illness you don't have? :)

I'm a software engineer with ADHD. I've been diagnosed by doctors, psychologists, and even imagery (SPECT scans). I work at a big tech company, and I'm very senior and well paid.

They're totally compatible. It's not easy, but by adulthood most of us have a lot of skills to compensate, and sometimes medication.

I'd liken focus with my ADHD to holding a firehouse - it's actually incredibly powerful, but difficult to control.
Most of the privacy talk from Apple is just PR. Only exception is Safari but there it's used as an excuse to dismiss any new feature that might compete with the walled garden, keeping users forced into ad/tracking/privacy invasive apps.
B1M is really bad, I'd advise people to stop watching their channel, there are better ones out there.

How can it be that they don't mention "Brenner Base Tunnel" anywhere in the description? It must be on purpose. Are they somehow gaming the YouTube algorithm such that it won't be able to categorize it in any specific bucket?

Another nice bonus is that if you're listening to a song at room filling volume during the day, and then later at night you want to quietly watch a video, by then the volume will have decayed to zero so you wont be surprised with a really loud video.
>Suburbs are louder than cities imo because there is always a leaf blower, lawn mower, and weedwacker going at all times during the day within 100 yards of you.

That's hugely hyperbolic.

But in the city there really are constant sirens, car horns, diesel trucks, construction noises, roadway noise etc...

The most comprehensive study done on this (admittedly a long time ago in 1970) shows a clear correlation between population density and noise pollution.

https://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/gtr/gtr_ne25/gtr_ne25_183.pdf

I think the most likely explanation is that you moved from a particularly noisy suburban neighborhood to a particularly quiet urban one.
Driving is more or less safe depending on the conditions - if the TSA was requiring workers to drive in on a Friday or Saturday in icy conditions where they otherwise would not that'd be way more dangerous than a 9am commute. Still relatively safe (although I really don't like the characterisation of driving as actually safe - people usually only look at the fatalities and ignore the injury rate which is dramatically higher).
I used headspace for a bit. I think if the workplace'll pay for it it's definitely worth using, but regular yoga and meditation is less expensive. IMO the hard part isn't how you meditate, it's just making time to do it to begin with
One thing I remember from living in Puerto Rico for a few years was the vans with huge loudspeakers on top that would go around blaring political messages. This was 30 years ago, so maybe it is different now. I’m so thankful that kind of thing doesn’t fly on the mainland.
What are the better ones out there? I love this kind of content but don't know where to find it.

This new check is in preparation for an upcoming feature that lets you preserve state between unmounts. For example, when switching a between routes or changing a top-level tab. The check simulates unmounting and immediately remounting (with state/DOM preserved), which is why effects run twice. It simulates what happens when you switch away to another tab and then back, like a stress-test for this scenario. Since in most cases, switching to another tab and then immediately switching back shouldn’t be observable behavior. You might fire an extra impression log in development, but from the user perspective the behavior should be the same. And if it’s not, you’ll see the same result as if the user actually switched tabs there and back. So it doesn’t just “run the code twice” but it simulates what happens when a tree remounts with existing state. Most components are already resilient to this, but the feature is hard to adopt if this resiliency isn’t being tested. This check helps find the remaining cases where remounting wouldn’t be safe, early.

Hope this clarifies it a bit!

Ask HN: Is joining AWS a bad idea? (MSFT, Oracle options)
I live in Redmond and work at Microsoft. I'm 38 and have a family. I'm an "SRE" with a security clearance working on government cloud stuff. Mostly DevOps type work, but using tools that are pretty awful (running production systems on Windows, no linux or kubernetes etc).

I've been interviewing lately because I really don't enjoy the product and tech I'm working on. My work life balance is pretty good, very short commute and my on-call is just tedious boring shit during the day. I've never been paged outside of work hours in 2 years.

I have two offers (Seattle)

Current total comp at Microsoft is ~250k

AWS: $300k L5 Cloud Engineer - working on internal build/development tools for the government clouds: Manager says 2am pages will happen, and the team works 45-50 hours per week by his estimation.

Oracle: $325k (no benefits, W-2 contract). Sounds like I would be working with linux, kubernetes, java, python and doing DevOps for some data science platform. While I'm contracting, there are some work/life balance gaurdrails beacuse >40 hours means I get paid (same rate $156.25/hr).

In all 3 scenarios, on-call requires trip to secure facility to work on the issue. At MSFT this has been a non-issue for me because the product is only really used in the day.

Most people have said "Stay at Microsoft for life" even if the pay is less.

AWS promises the most career growth (?) and RSU upside, probably at the cost of work/life balance which at my age is precious to me.

Everyone is saying don't take the Oracle contract, but the work sounds most interesting to me, and it seems pretty chill from the people I have talked to. It also is highest pay, by a small amount (after insuring my family), for the first 2 years.

Everyone on "BLIND" says AWS is absolute hell, unless you luck out on team/manager.

Advice from the non-blind crowd?

Thanks!
This is hilarious, I completely forgot about this episode.
I reccomend, as a first book, "Automate the boring stuff with Python". It may be rustic or dirty, but it gets the job done for anyone with some enthusiasm and a problem to solve. If you want to be a tidier or more pythonic programmer, or want to learn OOP, you can get that going on later.
It’s been almost ten years since the same people first starting claiming that Evergrande was insolvent. The government is just able to prop things up for amazing amount of time, but $1 million dollar 2 bedroom apartments in third tier or worse cities aren’t sustainable.
Nope, total bullshit. Two things have made the skies safer since 9/11:

- reinforced cockpit doors
- passengers now actively resist hijackers

Everything else is security theater.
Blame the employer (or yourself for not switching) if it’s really that unbearable, it’s not the React team’s fault
The quoted comment is saying that the Ada support runtime is so high level that it sometimes ends up being unsuitable for real-time programming. This is exactly the kind of concern that would be hard to improve even in recent versions of Ada, whereas it is naturally addressed by Rust.

Some quick googling: a flight from LA to Chicago costs about 150$ one-way. A greyhound bust ticket for the same trip is 130$, plus paying for meals on a much longer journey.
But is this getting ready for that? Until China can produce its own fab equipment (taking Taiwan intact won’t help here), they will simply have fancy designs that they can’t produce. It doesn’t make sense unless they are betting on continued business relationship with the west.

> This is called the Genetic Fallacy, it is completely irrelevant who said anything as long as that thing is true and/or useful. Nobody owns words.

Is it irrelevant, though? I mean, there's a reason you haven't edited your post to say "Kevin Strom, a noted white nationalist[1], is credited with". (Or even just "Kevin Strom is credited with", with no reference to his politics at all.)

Notably, you're employing a fallacy as well -- "Tacitus or Voltaire" functions as an appeal to authority here. These famous people said this, it must have merit. A resistance to correctly attributing the quote suggests that the mantle of authority is the point.

(I don't care about debate fallacies, really. I just like to bring up when people complaining about them are employing their own. Petty, I know.)

Here's the GPT-3 continuation when prompted with the first full paragraph:

And now that it has come full circle—when I'm finally able to find a job at an agency and find myself not only at work but at home. It seems crazy that I don't have to figure out how to fix my broken life. There are so many things I need to learn. When I go to work every day, that's when I remember a lot more about how I came to see TechCrunch the other day (or whatever—depending on the topic). Some of the best people in tech know when to talk to people about their favorite business. I have been lucky (and grateful) to have such incredible people around me. I love every minute one of them has, and love to bring

Much less coherent, to me, but you'll get different results every time you try I suppose!
Just chiming in to say I agree with this take. My work communication is 95%+ Slack, including shared channels with external vendors. Family and friends are all in private group chats on Telegram, Messenger, and Discord.

At $DAYJOB we sponsored a hire from another country recently, and their new landlord wanted an email address instead of adding them on WeChat/WhatsApp. It was a culture shock. They created their first email account in 2020 at age ~30.

Email has been EEE'd by the big players - e.g. Gmail conversations and labels don't work properly in plain IMAP (extend) and they block messages from independent mail servers (extinguish).

Email is obviously still popular, but I think it's fair to say most people do not use it. Email is for receipts. I think its demise is closer now than at any point in the past.
The US preference for cars cuts DEEP, it’s at a cellular level.

To share an anecdote, I went to order a sandwich at a fast food restaurant from the counter. After ordering I waited in the restaurant, watching the kitchen staff serve several cars in the drive through. After 10 minutes I just got frustrated, went back to the counter and asked for a refund. I got it and left.

Later I talked to friends about the experience. Apparently restaurants collect metrics for drive through wait times, but not for orders at the counter. So of course managers have a preference to serve drive through customers. The restaurant I went to made no attempt to hide that preference.

I feel like you need a car in the US to be treated normally.
It's a big question, I guess: "why write anything?" I don't know! Certainly, neither pleasure nor persuasion could be the objective behind a piece like this. What are the other reasons? Venting? I'm interested in what you think.
Spammers wouldn’t store anything, they’d adaptively generate a message upon each load.
Laws in general in California aren't enforced much these days, but that seems to be true across North America.
I like it. It would make it much easier to control incoming messages… such as retrieving only the most recent of ads from a retail company.

The only other solution I have thought of is to charge for email. Say a few cents per message would go from sender to receiver. That would definitely reduce spam.
