If I post to Reddit, I'm giving Reddit permission to display that comment. I haven't read the T's and C's, but my expectation would be that I retain copyright over my own comments.

I could well be wrong (probably, even :), but my point is that giving permission to use my comments on one site shouldn't automatically give carte blanche to anyone and everyone to use them.
By now I've become so accustomed to just copy the bold text from the line above it and paste, that it doesn't break me out anymore. I know I should concentrate and type it out, but in my head it has just become visual noise and a boring exercise.
heck I was putting in exact model numbers today like MS3015S20-27SZ and google was returning me OTHER models such as MS3015S20-27PZ which is the male or female version of a part (PZ vs SZ), or changing the20-27 to a 29-4 which are all completely different parts. This is with verbatim on.

Dude, the countries behind Iron Curtain had so much corruption it was insane. In a place where you have trouble buying meat or fruits the only way to get it is to bribe someone and for that someone to lie and/or steal to get it for you.

My country was behind an iron curtain and one of the motto's of that time was: "If one doesn't embelish from the state it means one's embelishing from their family".
Even with democracy this mentality won't fully go away for generations. Russia continued on that trajectory to a worse state.
Amen！
Well i hope it is. I can't stand commuting or the noisy and distracting office environment. Being close to my family is way more important than being close to coworkers. I'm also way more productive at home, I can wear what i want, I can speak out loud to myself, listen to metal, take a walk, use my clean bathroom and the list goes on. Overall it's healthier and more ecologic. It's just doesn't compare and any argument I've heard/read against 100% remote work just doesn't matter to me. I also don't care about small talk with coworkers or any kind of non-professional bonding, I have friends for that.
Maybe the UX is not great, but surely having to type "httpie/httpie" would have given me a pause.

Regardless, to make mistakes is human. What I don't really like is how the author starts attacking Github and Microsoft, just because they can't afford to fix the author's mistake. A huge red flag for me.
i would imagine that watch-time of a show is not Personally Identifying Information, and thus do not require GDPR consent.
> the author had to _type out_ the name of the repo

I copy/paste the repo name every time I delete a repo on GitHub. Yeah, it’s still a minor impediment, but it’s definitely not “TYPE the account and repo name.”
I'm not sure why that would be a problem given most of these languages and standards are older than the Linux kernel. The thing about mature technology is specifically that it doesn't have breaking changes every couple of months. This is the way it used to be for a fairly long time.

But even if it has broken, I can just download an old linux distro. They effectively form a cohesive snapshot of the state of the toolchain whenever they were assembled. Slackware 3.1 from 1996 might be appropriate.
> No, plagiarism is important in every circle, not just academic circles.

Please show me how it would be important to Patanjali, or even how it will reduce the good the techniques bring, how it will negatively impacted yoga teachers, or something other than FAANG jobs, politicians and academia that simply aren't relevant to this discussion.
I need to run Windows video games (new and vintage), Linux tools for penetration testing and windows and Linux tools for embedded development and reverse engineering none of which have M1 ports.

On top of the software I can't run on M1, I can't stand, from an ergonomic perspective, MacOS's rigid opinionated workflow and Apple's stance on upgradability, repairability and general environmental unfriendliness, plus their pricing on RAM and NAND storage wich have two to four times the markups I can gen get on the free market for the Framework (RAM and Storage are more important to me than screaming M1 performance) but that's besides the point, my main point is that I can't run my software and tools on the M1, so I don't understand why everyone on HN wants to crucify you for using X86 instead of M1.
This still limits your hiring pool to one particular city and one particular country.
It might, and if so you will switch but a very small minority of Linux users ever have the need to compile it themselves and out of that small minority only a small fraction will migrate to alternatives over this.

I see Rust as a replacement for C long term. From this perspective it's absolutely ok to have a transition period (years in fact) where there are multiple toolchains used to build the kernel.
One could also ask for the US to replace their car centric mobility with bikes and trains to save oil. It’s spring right now, they’ve got 6 month until
winter rolls around, time to be used wisely.

Our apartment complex uses a small central gas power plant to produce electricity and use the waste heat for heating/water, supplying about 20 buildings with roughly 500 - 1000 units. Replacing that system is not something that’s planned and executed within a handful of months. I’m not convinced that air heatpumps of the required size even exist - drilling for a ground heat pump in a city will require even more planning.

How well would it work if all of those unit just pulled another extra 5kw continuously from the grid for heating, not to speak of warm water? I’m not even convinced that the grid itself could sustain that - it’s never been planned for that kind of usage.
this is plainly wrong or exaggerated. I have never had a single doctor tell me to use homeopathy or something similarly silly, and I've been to quite a few doctors. Also, it's not 'most germans' who even consider homeopathy as valid, it's a portion.
In what sense is Rust 1.0 not already an LTS release ?

If you wrote some Rust 1.0 code back in 2015, put it away in a drawer (maybe on a USB stick) but now get it out today it will still build with current Rust tooling -- except for some very narrow cases where you might have done something inherently unsound and subsequently the compiler was corrected to fix that so it's an error.

Rust's language shifted slightly in those years. However the Editions system - even though it hadn't yet been invented in 2015 - allows for that. Your 2015 code lacks any Edition metadata, so, the modern tools understand that as Rust 2015 edition, and will compile accordingly, while still interoperating correctly with modern Rust.

Suppose your 2015 code named a variable await. That's a keyword in modern Rust. But it isn't a keyword in Rust 2015 edition, so your code compiles just fine. This would not work in C of course, which is why its newer keywords are ugly stuff like _Bool but in Rust it's fine.
> With every conventional defeat faced by the Russian military and with the massive loss of credibility this causes, at what point does Russia decide that it's time to take the gloves off?

I believe any use of nuclear weapons would end Russia as a state, tactical or otherwise. They know this, why is why they resort to their conventional (although brutal) warfare methods.

They have been threatening nuclear weapons since the start of the war for various reasons, and thats because nuclear weapons _only_ work as a threat.
Again, not in my reading. In the random data thought experiment, everybody (experts and unskilled alike) suffer from the burden of not having the skill to estimate their performance. The author is even surprised that the DK effect in the random data is bigger than observed in the DK experiment ("In fact, as Figure 9 shows, our effect is even bigger than the original") - but that's because in reality, people do have some ability to estimate their own skill. So the claim that the lack of skill is related to the lack of ability to self-evaluate does make sense, or at least, isn't contradicted by the experiment.
Downloading C++ dependencies during the build process is equally unacceptable for many situations. Existing C++ build systems and package managers can be configured to do that and those build systems and package managers would be inappropriate for supporting a kernel that values stability and long term support.
Modern Psychology is having a lot of these sorts of results over the last decade, none of their methods are holding up under proper scrutiny. They are struggling to reproduce findings but more critically even the reproduced ones are turning out to be statistical and mathematical errors like shown here. Some of the findings have also done severe harm to patients over the decades as well, I can't help but think we need a lot of caution when it comes to psychology results given its harmful uses (such as the abuse of ill patients) and its lack of truthful results.
It's possible to vendor all deps and have them embedded in the kernel source package.
It does explain why smart TVs would be easy to buy and dumb TVs difficult to buy.

For example, I do not care if a TV is smart or dumb. All I care is how quickly it turns on because I am connecting it to an Apple TV anyway. Even as a person who would rather have a dumb TV than a smart TV, my actions continue to support smart TV manufacturers because I am not willing to spend the time and effort required to seek out dumb TVs, since I have already found an acceptable solution.
It reminds of the common advice you often read (also in HN): Go on follow your passion but secure it with a job which provides for you (and your family).

In the case of a musician one such way (besides teaching) is playing in "cover bands" ("playing everything": Top40, Classics etc.) which paid astonishingly well on a gig to gig basis (from weddings to little local fests) once you are a bit established and known (even locally).

I was very young (17) when I started to do that (as a drummer) mostly because I "needed" some money for "better" equipment ;)
At first I hated it but after a while I appreciated the actual discipline it required and it taught me practical musical communication skills through my time playing with a lot of different musicians. So, that it in a unexpected way did not only helped me out financially but also in becoming a more well-rounded musician (i.e. "paradoxically" recognizing my own style/preferences/tastes/musicality in a more nuanced way in all that noise of hypes, genres and sub-genres ...).

So, yeah the best case scenario is doing what one loves and getting paid for it but it isn't black and white either, I definitely at some point could have "sold my soul to the devil" to make more money (professionalize it) but I was actually quite satisfied with just not being constantly broke :D
Once I met my basic needs (after establishing what they actually are: e.g. not more and better equipment) everything beyond I tried to consider a luxury, a bonus which worked out well for me (still enjoying doing music and the community that this brought with it) in that turbulent time of youth/early adulthood.

Edit: What a lot of people don't recognize: a handful of the musicians I met, later went on to become "successful". Well, in hindsight they struck me as highly obsessive and obviously for everyone around them fighting with some serious inner demons (addiction, depression, childhood traumas ...). For them to finally "made it" can only worsen their situation. Imagine having achieved what you wanted all along, being financially independent, you now literally have no (outside) reason anymore to be unhappy this can just only further estrange you from your environment. I think we are all familiar with the excesses of fame.
"To be not successful" is way easier to handle for some highly vulnerable artists (doing great music) because they at least have a better chance to stay "grounded". I mean those driven personalities by exploring boundaries become really fluid, that's what also attracts a lot of audience, unfortunately: We marvel at the sight of the end result: "pearl" (which got produced by an extraordinarly amount of stress).

My god you really need to take yourself way less seriously. Is this what happens when you've lived your life in first-world middle class comfort? You think you're a martyr for... being slightly impolite to people?
Your examples are based on personal choices, that is not what the cast system is.
The argument is a good one, but I think it is missing the nuance of the status of a soldier, who, for a variety of reasons, is not an average citizen ( note, how many restrictions are listed with qualifier 'while in uniform'[1]).

You can say what you want. Just don't make it look like the army is saying this.

It may sound like a contradiction, but it is not. You voluntarily join the army. You join that specific group and accept their 'rules'. It is harder to argue ( not impossible since there are naturalized citizens, who clearly opt in to become citizens ) that citizens by right of birth voluntarily opt into that set of rules. That is the where constitution comes in.

What I am saying is that army argument is flawed.

edit: changed typical to average

I worked hybrid before the pandemic.

It was the best of both worlds. 3/5 days at the office was great.

It gave the benefit of socialising and collaboration, with the flexibility of being at home for visiting home contractors, bulk deliveries, or somewhere where you could take a deep dive into something with no interruptions.
Thanks for including dsq! Its focus is always going to be flexibility and UX over performance since it's just a thin wrapper over the internals of a GUI data integration tool [0]. For example many other tools operate on only one or two file types and have optimized for querying on those types.

Some like octosql and spyql IIRC have implemented their own sql parsing layer and engine. So if full sql support is necessary you may not be able to use them.

In contrast dsq supports excel, avro, parquet, json, csv/tsv, nginx logs, apache logs, json newline, concatenated json, etc. And this list keeps growing. Dsq stores data in sqlite under the hood so you have access to the full sqlite dialect. Textql and q also do it this way.

That said, despite performance not being the major I goal I think it will get better over time. There's already an OSS contributor who happens to be thinking about perf.

If you're interested in getting started with OSS contributions btw I keep a page of good first projects [0]. If you know Go you're in a good place to contribute. I've already had a number of people take me up on this and merged a number of PRs by first-time OSS contributors.

There are people who despise it, because it diverges enough from a lisp to not be called a lisp and hate when they say Clojure is a lisp
Twitter is not a public square, in the sense of being public property, and therefore I agree that the government has no right to decide how it moderates its platform. But it acts as a public square, in the sense that you need to publish there to meaningfully interact with a significant fraction of the population.

And for that reason, as private citizens, we should use market means, like the one Musk is resorting to, to push for it to respect Free Speech, so that diverse viewpoints have the space to be expressed. If major platforms, that act as public squares, play the role of picking and choosing what content can be published, and if they all coalesce around the same values in deciding what content to permit, then inevitably, the public discourse will be severely constrained, and biased in favor of the dominant narrative. This is dangerous to society because it eliminates the rigorous and unbounded discourse needed to solve the complex problems society faces.
For a tech periodical, this seems to be a stretch for content.

Thirty seconds poking around the interwebs led me to this Samsung 65” 4K “digital signage” for $1125:

https://www.samsung.com/us/business/displays/4k-uhd/qb-serie...

43, 50, 55, 75, and 85 also available.

I assume that these are as good as or better than most people have in their homes (esp. with Vizio), but probably not as good as what home theater enthusiasts might want.

Am I missing something?

I was picturing the engineers who must have done like a 1000 iterations of this stuff before they were able to come up with a crystal clear image on the film.

What an adventure it must be to make these things and one day finally having the joy to see the whole world use your inventions like this.

Having never worked on any hardware I can only imagine how much fun (and test of patience!) it must be to use/bend the laws of physics to make such things.
That makes sense, but then why is it considered bad for drugs to raise your heart rate?
Seriously, it is dumb to look for a "dumb TV", search for a "monitor" and you'll find what you need. I've got 9 large monitors from 25" to 50" - 6 on my computers and the other 3 on old computers, but displaying whatever - YouTube music playlists and Reddit EarthPorn. As a monitor, I've never paid much over $500 for one, as (stupid) people think they are no good; consumer electronics stores have such idiots as managers they'll have a 55" monitor on the floor for 6 weeks and mark it down to $400.
>Remote also greatly enhances the talent pool available for employers. It reduces cost too.

Neither of these things are good for an employee.

A world where none of your coworkers have any shared background with you or where you can lose an interview at a local company to someone 700 miles away sounds like hell.
Gallium is great! I learned to code on a Chromebook. Originally I ran Linux in a tab using Chrouton, then I switched to gallium when I became aware of it. It just worked for me, and I still have that device for my kids to bang on.
I tried this but quickly hit a limit on the number of subs you can block. It is fairly low, maybe a couple hundred. There are a lot more big, low quality subs than that.
I work at such a startup. We all live in different countries and different timezones. Everybody has a high level of autonomy and decision-making working on his own stuff. Most of product communication happens in comments on Jira and technical — in PR comments on Github, both of which are completely async. There's also Slack for some realtime interaction, but it's okay not to be online. At average, I'd say that I have one or two video calls a week, and I don't feel that I need more.

It's one of the most productive environments I had in my entire 15 year career.

Again, I think Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. I'm mainly addressing the parent's comments that they've never seen crime in Japan and sometimes the meme in Japan that there's no crime at all.
What about both?
Yes! I've been remote for many years, more than anyone else I know. I learned how to work long before videoconference was even an option, and I never turn my camera on. Some people have never seen my face live. But they know who I am. Because when I come in the room, good questions start getting asked, brains turn on, decisions are made, roles and accountability are set up.

If you're there to do the work, the other people who are there to do the work appreciate the hell out of you. (And most of them don't turn their camera on either.)
When I worked on Mt Erebus we used to play pulseox bingo: see who could match their O2 saturation to their pulse at the lowest or highest value.
>The fact that the DK effect emerges with _completely random data_ is not surprising at all - in this case the intuitive null hypothesis would be that people are good at estimating their skill, therefore there would be strong a correlation between their performance and self-evaluation of said performance. If the data weren't related, then this hypothesis isn't likely, which is exactly what DK means.

DK effect is not that low skill people are overconfident and high skill people are underconfident. It is specifically that low skill people are more overconfident than high skill people are underconfident. i.e. if someone's estimated skill is true_skill+bias+noise, then bias_lowskill > -bias_highskill.

This is very clear in the original DK paper, they specifically focus on the supposed metacognitive deficiencies of low-skill people.

The article argues that the graphs supposedly demonstrating this fact, can also be generated from a model that does not have this difference, i.e. where bias_lowskill == bias_highskill.

EDIT: My characterization of the article is not correct, see here[1] for a visualization of the point I'm trying to make.

[1] http://emilkirkegaard.dk/understanding_statistics/?app=Dunni...
“Zapier, a great distributed company, famously has quarterly offsites for its teams where everyone meets in person to replicate this effect. However, I highly suspect that most big companies won’t make any such effort to do this. Even if they do, once budgets get stressed, it seems likely this will be the first “perk” to go: its benefits are hard to quantify and it certainly seems frivolous to the short-sighted.”

This seems to contradict the argument for offices. Companies save money by having fewer offices, so their budgets should be improved. Also, if companies do not see the value of employees periodically meeting each other then why do management largely prefer face time in offices?

“Getting out of the house and into a setting with other human beings builds a heck of a lot more socialization”

Much of this article focuses on the workplace fulfilling out of work needs or out of work meetings fulfilling at work relationships. Why do people want and expect so much from their jobs? Why is that the place to fulfill ones social needs? Pursue hobbies and interests outside of work and meet people not tethered to your employer. These relationships are stronger and transcend work ties. Avoiding terrible commutes provides some of the time to pursue such ventures too.

It's amazing that reddit survived its redesign, I wish they would rollback. I'm also curious about how many users still use the old design.

If they remove the old design, I would obviously not use reddit anymore, and I don't know if there are viable frontends that would allow me to login.

In Europe/Sweden I have been purchasing dumb screens from Swedx.se [1]. Both dumb TVs and a video wall. They are clearly imported from China and not a big vendor, but I’d expect these type of companies selling digital signage to be available everywhere.
