Yes. After observing San Francisco’s acrimonious supervisor redistricting last month (in which politicians and special interests lobbied the nonpartisan commission to move neighborhoods to one district or other to maintain or gain political power), this article has convinced me that the problem is single-winner district elections in the first place. Every map is flawed when only one person represents the district per election. And the solution is proportional representation where multiple people win in each election (although the exact method of proportional representation can be debated).

Is woodsorrel comparable to water hemlock? Kidney stones are better than death, but both are toxic. Sounds like the author was directly harmed by their work environment, so it sounds fair to call it toxic even if it could be worse.

I still maintain that Flutter Web is not production ready. It could have a nice niche, like games. But for real apps, it's just not as good as web. They are still re-implementing things that have existed in the web for ages, and are not going to be able to keep up. It's basically good for an applet style usage IMO. I'll keep trying it out, I think Flutter is pretty great for mobile, even desktop, but every time I use a web app example I find issues and just shake my head at what they did.
Google Ads uses it on mobile which is responsible for literally billions in revenue.

The problem is not that you’re saying “offices are bad”, it’s that you’re conflating “the ability to maintain a healthy-ish mental state after being exposed to an office” with “a delusion that offices are good”.

Lots of bad things exist, being able to function in the face of Bad Things does not require you to deny or ignore that reality.

Poisonous spiders exist, but overcoming arachnophobia (an unusually debilitating reaction to encountering spiders) isn’t a “delusion that spiders are safe”, and won’t make you try to kiss a Black Widow.
This is a big reason on why I loosed interest on rust

Do you have the same impression: Each and every plugin/extension has a commercial pro version that keeps on nagging to buy its extended warrenty ... sorry, no, to subscribe to updates for just 29.99 each, right? So 29.99 for instagram connections, 39.99 for backups pro (i'm making names and prices up, but you know the drill.) and for just 20 dollars more a security/virus check for ... what?!?!

are you f**king kidding me?

Presumably only if they'll have you? People often get ejected from political parties in the UK if they for some reason are being destructive (in someone's opinion.)
What you are stating is incorrect.

Each of the calls you link to sets a boolean here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/57c3953aca49f68ac...

It does not transmit what you copy, search for or when you clicked/resized/closed the window. It simply stores a true/false value saying "feature X was used". In some cases, like with find/replace, it also stores the average length of things you searched for. That is a common way for developers to get an idea if performance characteristics due to the longest common substring problem[1]

You are trying to spread misinformation here to make Microsoft look like a bad guy. There is nothing sinister going on here, it is just ordinary metric collection.

But don't take my word for it. Take for example the "we can see it log every time you resize a console window" statement. In the link it calls SetWindowSizeChanged()[2] which again calls SetUserInteractive()[3] and it just sets a boolean to true.

So there is no "log every time it resize a console window". It simply sets a variable to true, which presumably the Windows Terminal dev team use to see how many users use the console with interactive sessions.

It is not production ready for web and I don't have much hope it ever will be. I love it for mobile, even desktop apps. But I feel they chose the wrong direction at the beginning for web and it's just trying to dig back out of that hole since then.

It would probably help you to understand the essay if you knew that it was written by Richard P. Gabriel, the head of Lucid, the leading competitor to Lisp machines. His company's product was a Lisp system that ran on Unix machines. What he's personally best known for (aside from this essay) is showing that smarter Lisp compilers on commodity hardware like a 68020 or a SPARC could deliver performance that first equaled, then exceeded the performance available from custom silicon; the book he published on this subject was so rigorous that many of the tests in it are still used today for judging the performance of implementations of high-level languages such as LuaJIT and V8.

You seem to think he was advocating Lisp machines, scoffing at his essay based on that misconception. But if there was a single person in history who worked hardest to destroy Lisp machines, it was probably RPG.

"By this point, I was crying harder, and Bob looked like he might start crying at any moment now, too. We were also pretty far from Bandley 4 by now, and it was starting to get dark. The tone of the conversation seemed to shift as we both realized that we should start heading back."

But I guess that was 39 years ago...

On a more serious note: I haven't seen it in a long time but I've definitely seen it on some of the hardware teams. It was when Apple was smaller and we were continually trying to fit two weeks of work into one week. At that pace everyone eventually breaks down and some do it differently than others.

Apple being huge now has its disadvantages but one advantage is I haven't heard of months of project death marching in a long time.
> The threat model they're addressing is the one where users have a small semblance of control over their devices and networks. I've been saying for years that HTTPS everywhere, DoH, eSNI (or it's successor), etc. are part of a long term plan for big tech to have absolute control over what users are allowed and not allowed to do with their own devices.

I had thought so too, and also "secure contexts" (apparently there is supposed to be a way to configure this, but it does not seem to be the case) and HSTS, too. I think that HSTS is very bad. (HTTPS is not bad, but all of these things that are forcing them is a bad idea.)
> It's just the Macbook (and the Macbook Pro and the Macbook Air)

Just that it isn't. The "(new) MacBook" (without any addition) most recently existed 2015-2019, and I personally found it very confusing, as it was thinner than a MacBook Air and with that breaking the previous expectations that were set up by the product line naming.

Placing all the blame on the naming of the MacBooks is probably overblown, but I feel like the individual lines of MacBooks have had a expectation/consistency problem for 10+ years now and throwing in the "new MacBook" into the mix for some time didn't help it.

1) A felon can in fact legally manufacture certain firearms, such as working replica black powder rifles and pistols. These are not covered under federal law.

2) I stand by my belief that felons ought to be able to protect themselves with firearms of any type.

3) My belief that felons have 2nd amendment rights is not probable cause of having drugs.

4) There's no nexus by which officers inventing an alert or falsifying evidence is justified by my exercising of my first amendment right regarding belief in second amendment right of felons.

>Here you are claiming that you would continue to trade cryptocurrency from prison, in a hypothetical world were it was illegal: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29922956

Again not probable cause of possessing drugs.

Your whole argument is a red herring. None of this is probable cause for possessing drugs.

>Why? I never claimed that at all.

So how is this even relevent? None of this first amendment protected activity and opinions provide any legitimacy to falsely accusing someone of having drugs up their ass.

I have only flown a plane once. Took off and landed it without a problem with an instructor next to me. He said I was really good and complemented me a lot because he thought I was a natural during the simulator class and the real Cessna flight. I just thanked him. Do you want to know my secret?

>Immigration is what is propping this country's economy up.

That's debatable.

>It is a tremendous gift, not a punishment- unless you are alluding to some wierd racial monoculture thing.

Immigration is not free. There are social costs which are being dismissed with shallow accusations of bigotry as an alternative to engagement (as you are implicitly doing with your monoculture reference). All peoples are entitled to preserve their cultures, that a particular nation happens to have a predominantly white population does not erase this entitlement.

Cultures clash. Immigrants vote and potentially originate from countries with incompatible cultures, many of whom have no interest in assimilating, yet their votes influence the laws that natives are obligated to follow. If democracy is meant to represent the will of the people, then it is unfair to dilute representation with immigration from nations with totally different value systems. Case in point is the ubiquitous middle eastern treatment of women; how much influence do you want such beliefs to have over your laws and cultural norms? Not even getting to the statistically proven increase in sexual assaults that native women have to suffer on behalf of immigrants in certain European countries. Consider it the paradox of tolerance.

> This is so 1984

1984 has never been about this.

It's about the weaknesses of men, that would gladly change a reduction of the chocolate ration into an increase, because it's their job to lie and alter the past, believing they are doing god's work.

Also, in 1984 surveillance is secret, not publicly stated in a formal document visible by everybody.

Better examples of 1984 in action: the DDR, the NSA.
IIRC you can transpile Dart to JavaScript, so technically you can deploy it as serverless functions.
I just had an interview with MS, they seem to have a far better approach these days.

I was surprised that they approached me because the team works primarily in C# and Go, and I've been doing JVM languages mainly, and only a small amount of Go, but the interviewer emphasised that they want people who can learn and enjoy learning.

They then asked me to choose a language I know well and describe a strength and weakness of it.

It was a really good interview experience tbh.
The fact that it's not black and white is the problem.

The tiny fraction of people who comment on HN say that. It is folly to believe this place represents public opinion.
Space partially, the US House of Reps is already pretty packed so to add enough to get to >2 members per district you'd have to add a lot. You also get into potential issues diluting power that much, with so many members things like committee memberships become the only people with real power on an individual level.

Private Discord channels are probably not as private as you think
I get the impression that a lot of police forces are "offense" minded, and they are pushing for these kinds of measures. So they want way to break into systems and intercept communications.

On the other hand civilians are more "defense" minded, because they're not allowed to attack in the first place. So their preferred M.O. is to protect systems and encrypt communications.

A lot of governments apparently don't have as large/as influentual defense minded departments or units, else we wouldn't keep seeing this topic coming back.
Eh, I think credit for that goes to dang and the community. Flamewars definitely start up now and then but moderation stamps many out.
I don't really want to get involved in this argument, but I think this is a situation where there's just a little bit of missing historical background that might help you two understand one another. What the upstream commenter is referring to is the fact that the land that was historically eastern Poland isn't part of Russia now -- it's part of Ukraine and Belarus. Sure, the USSR (of which Russia is the successor state) is what performed that land transfer, but the land was not transferred to what is now Russia.
To give MS credit, they are _much_ more friendly to open source than I ever believed they could be. I think the popularity of Linux and Mac for web/cloud development (which is almost entirely based around open source code) more or less forced their hand.

Soil is incredibly ‘underrated’, this is a great article. It:

+ filters contaminants in the groundwater

+ stores water for later use

+ hosts the nutrients for plant growth and therefore human life

+ dampens the effect of massive rainfall events by being porous and soaking up surface runoff

We are doing so many bad things to our soil.

+ We’re leaching all the nutrients out of it without replacement

+ we compact the hell out of it, reducing permeability and the benefits I mentioned above

+ we cover it in concrete, meaning groundwater recharge is decreased and more rainfall becomes surface runoff, resulting in flooding

+ we let it erode due to this higher surface runoff

The erosion rate is higher than the rate at which it is replaced as well. We have a few meters of topsoil at any given point on earth, minus oceans and deserts and now urban centres. We absolutely are not treating this vital part of our life correctly.

It’s easy to write it off as nothing. I did the same until I was forced to learn about soil in so many different contexts as a civil engineer. Luckily curriculum nowadays teaches more sustainable practices in soil hydrology and the design of urban drainage networks. The old ways still linger though, which just treat it as an infinitely available engineering material.
This right here should tell you why you shouldn't use Flutter for Web. The Web is pretty great for accessibility out of the box until us devs mess it up, we shouldn't use a technology that needs to completely build it from scratch to get it to work.
The Luna and UST Crash Explained in 5 Charts
Assuming that the 1% extreme minority wants to turn it into a dictatorship, you'd be guaranteeing that sooner or later the democracy would fail.
Thanks for clarifying. I don't have experience with boxing myself, but yes I was mostly talking about competition (i.e. fight to knock-out) and it makes sense that training is more about the skills you mention.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. I think a problem is that within certain bubbles, the extreme viewpoints are genuinely really ubiquotous but if you have certain other cultural preferences it can be hard to escape those other bubbles.

I find just being around a certain group of people, namely young left urban college educated people who are counnterculture, the norms for that group are unbelievably far left. Like the nuances of Maosism vs Lenninism is a more common discussion than the budget of congress amongst this group (percieved to be a right wing issue). It's unbelievably extreme. And yet I never interact with the other side, let's say Mid west evangelicals, and rarely interact with the unengaged center even though those other two groups are combined an order of magnitude bigger.

But based on non political preferences I spend a lot of my time around woke communists and end up having a strong distaste for them even though they are a small minority in the bigger picture.

I think this same group has a very outsized influence in a large number of spheres. So I don't think it's unreasonable to worry about them even if they are a minority.
Ah yes, love to remember that time the EU tried to break encryption to make people wear masks.

> There is a strong desire for "democracy" over "republic" (not a combination of the two), meaning 51% of your average voters can do whatever they want to the remaining 49%.

This is the dumbest argument for first past the post, how is this better than "35% of your average voters can do whatever they want to the remaining 65%"? No matter how you count the votes you will have a winner, and that winner can abuse the loser. 51% winning just means you get the fewest number of losers, and any other protections you can get with first past the post can also be gotten in a popularity vote system. The only thing you now miss is that some votes become worth much more than other votes, instead you just have 1 person 1 vote, which I thought was the standard of modern democracy.
I’m not concerned about the delay between updates, it’s the correctness of the DOM and the canvas and managing interactions between the two. I might be misunderstanding the problem (or lack thereof) because I haven’t dealt with accessibility and canvas.

When it comes down to it, I have no idea how you’d indicate something is selected in the canvas and have a screen reader correctly read out the current selection from the DOM. Would DOM events communicate to the canvas how to modify state, functions to call, etc?

How would you manage focus between the canvas element and the rest of the DOM? Apologies if I’m not making sense; maybe there’s a well known pattern people use for things like this.

My understanding of accessibility relies heavily on the DOM behaving as a single document, and the idea of a sort of meta-document within it which coordinates pieces of the documents seems very complex and hard to get right.
There are certainly academics who collect and study spoken language corpora, not just written - it’s very much a matter of what gets collected and catalogued though. The fact that early citations here are from Usenet speaks to the availability and search ability of that corpus much more than to its role in the origination of written speech. Transcripts of IRC and MUDs and aim chats are not collected and indexed, so they don’t get referenced.

Similarly with spoken corpora it tends to be things like interviews with old people created to preserve dialect recordings, or material from local radio news - rather than random conversations among young people.

I guess by virtue of ‘tape in the studio just kept rolling’ there might be rather more recorded examples of band members chatting away over the years than of other similar aged groups.
That makes sense. Personally I have not heard a single person talk about stress as a SWE, but maybe I'm just not the type of person that people talk to about that. I have worked late a few times but that was for a short time and I consider that normal. In the end each PA and even each team can be as different as working as a different company, so even if this is not my experience I can't dispute this.

The problem with this is that Republicans in power today equate things like evolution with Democrat ideals.

I'm no specialist in the topic, but AFAIK you're insured for monetary funds held in a brokerage account.

Stocks themselves don't need insurance from the brokerage, as they're in custody somewhere else. Depends on the country, I presume.

What I meant is there's no insurance against the company you own going bankrupt. If you buy Tesla and it goes south, nobody will rescue your funds.

I am someplace that has open primaries and nothing like you are concerned about transpires. The reason is that if you participate in one primary you lose the ability to participate in the other. In some sense the threat of each side doing it keeps people from doing it.

Also you can't really in keep people from registering for a given party, so enforcing a non open primary isn't feasible in practice.
