While you're trying to say google's not that bad, that you see depressed-disengaged and overworked-stressed s literally tautologically the only possibilities for a work experience does not say good things about google to me. It sounds like stockholm syndrome.

Good luck. My uncles kid was always on dating sites etc at a young age. I did everything for them setting up restrictions, ensuring the kid had an account that only could access a few sites. They took away their tablet and phone etc.

The kid still managed to get caught hooking up with older men via Grindr.
Just to add to that, "normal" markdown (I forget which flavor exactly) is currently used for the text blocks within the Stripe API reference documentation.

Excluding skin color and gender is being blind to prejudice, not fighting it.

It's largely a generational thing.

The new generations (Millennial, Z) were taught that "celebrate diversity" is the goal. Which means to highlight all the different races, creeds, colors, etc...

Previous generations (X, Boomers) were taught that being "color blind" was the ideal. Which means to treat every person the same, and disregard their race, creed, colors, etc...

Both groups are using the same language for the goal: To end racism. But the ways they were trained to do so are the exact opposite of each other.
white skinned people should be called beige skinned people. Only albinos could pretend to whitehish-ness and still they are mostly not, because even if their skin maximally reflect light, they are still made of blood.

These old farts couldn't even sign in to Facebook without technical support. Do you think they understand even a glimmer of the technical ramifications of their proposed law? Usually when laws like this fail for technical reasons, they try to compensate the embarrassment by hammering harder with the penalties.
In this case, chronic stress which had such adverse effects it caused a forced medical leave.

You seem to know a lot about this - can you tell me what "forced medical leave" is? It seems to imply that a doctor ordered her to stop working against her will and that she was forced to obey. In what states is that legal? I've googled every iteration of "forced medical leave" I can think of and the only thing I can find is that it is illegal for employers to force you to take medical leave in lieu of complying with reasonable accommodations.

I don't see anything about a doctor being able to order "forced medical leave" so appreciate any help you can provide in helping me understand what that means.
Not really the same. In your article, Israel told them to leave the building so they could bomb Hamas terrorists who were also in the building. Also, that bombing was mentioned in the OP article, though they left out the part where terrorists were in the building and Israel warned the journalist before bombing the building.

What the OP article left out is the Israel government is denying what this article claims. The Israelis are saying it was a Palestinian who shot the journalist. Al Jazeera is literally owned by the Qatar government. Their bias is clear in this article.

> 25% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage

This actually varies greatly by age, as older women have higher rates of miscarriage due to things like amniotic insufficiency, and genetic abnormalities which also cause predispose towards miscarriage

>an induced abortion ("chemical abortion") is identical, medically, to a spontaneous abortion ("miscarriage")

This is not medically correct, and it sounds like a political talking point.

Many spontaneous abortions fail to implant due to genetic abnormalities, and come out like a period. Minimal pain or impact. Similarly, genetic abnormalities can cause spontaneous abortions that happen early pregnancy in the first trimester, causing the fetus not to grow, and then to abort.

There are several different chemicals used for an induced, chemical abortion such as salt, Prostaglandin, Urea, as well as steroids like mifepristone [1], or Misoprostol[2]

Chemical abortions on the other hand can be much more catastrophic, and involve intense enough contractions to cause permanent damage to the uterus and vagina. As you can see from the safety data sheets, these are non-trivial risks associated with these.

As a pregnancy involves signficant hormone changes, a pre-implantation spontaneous abortion without implantation would not change estrogen levels significantly. A fully implanted pregnancy would change estrogen levels as the breasts increase in size and prepare for milk production. Some studies have shown 90% increases in breast cancer rates post-abortion, while others contend no change.

> The commenter had done nothing wrong...

Honestly, I'm not so sure about that, given the commenter. IIRC, in a couple of previous threads they've taken pretty strong positions that they'll do what they want regardless if the law says it's illegal and they're risking jail. Given that, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some suspicious or belligerent behavior on their part that they left out of the story.

they got clojuredart now, which is still kind of a fly-by-night thing but those Roam Research peeps are apparently using it in production

Note that this is just the kernel modules, not the actual graphics driver.

IIRC these sources were already released under a permissive license along with their driver distribution. This just seems to be them putting those sources on GitHub and being more open to contributions.
Yes, thank you. What’s odd is I thought I typed that but autocorrect changed it and that’s a bit concerning since it changed it to a pretty not cool term.
> It's a decent terminal emulator, but could use several enhancements and the community could help.

It's the only modern terminal that passes the VT torture test. It supports double width and double height characters (great for terminal error messages).

It doesn't support overline (which is awesome for status lines at the bottom of the screen) and requires font support for line drawing and block graphics (Unicode 13 introduced 2x3 blocks and the next one will introduce 2x4s).

Grilling may not be the best word there, but if you say you worked with language X, I think it makes sense to give you some questions about it to gauge how good you are with it. Some people stuff the resume by mentioning every language that they did for a toy project once in college, and then we don't want them to be put in charge of the project which requires deep knowledge of the same language. Better to find it out in advance. That doesn't necessary means that candidate will fail and not be hired - just maybe not for the project that requires the knowledge they don't have.
There is no trade secret in it and users who use it can often also help improving it.

One thing I forgot to mention: Reflame requires fast writes globally only for a small subset of use cases. For everything else, it only needs fast reads globally, and for those I've been really liking FaunaDB.

It's not SQL, but it offers strongly consistent global writes that allows me to reason about the data as if it lived in a regular strongly-consistent non-replicated DB. This has been incredibly powerful since I don't have to worry at all about reading stale data like I would with an eventually consistently read-replicated DB.

It comes at the cost of write latency of ~200ms, which is still perfectly serviceable for everything I'm using it for.
Honestly, I preferred the days when developer conferences were for DEVELOPERS and not consumers. Announce APIs, DevTools, demo new stuff developers can use. Back when I/O was "Google Developer Day" and used to be mostly Web-tech, I found it way more interesting, more of a hackers conference. The modern conferences are more about commerce, even on the developer side, and not simply about the Joy of Cool Stuff and Cool Hacks.

These days Apple and Google use developer conferences as pseudo-consumer product soft launches.

IMHO, consumer end user launches should do done at consumer conferences.

Still, compared to Apple, Google's keynotes still contain more stuff of interest to developers like PaLM, LaMDA models, and a change to play with them. Apple's WWDC keynotes are usually so dumbed down, their graphs don't even have numbers of axis labels.
That's exciting stuff! Congrats!

> I just wish Google had built Flutter on a low level core that isn't tied to Dart, so it would be usable from other languages.

Any chance that someone will build a transpiler from e.g. Go or even Rust to Dart? Or is Dart too exotic to be used like that in a practical way?

That later part was because Burroughs himself bought a ranch near Hollywood in his later years which he named "Tarzana". This was later developed into a neighborhood which is named Tarzana to this day.
> Yes, although: while the Starship project is incredibly impressive, it can’t really be said to have delivered until it’s actually reached orbit.

True, but it isn't as if SpaceX doesn't have a track record for hiring some pretty ambitious targets with their progression of Falcon 1 →Falcon 9 →Falcon Heavy. Admittedly, Starship's planned use of the new Raptor engines seems risky, but the DOD did fund a prototype-and-test contract that presumably concluded successfully a few years ago. While the results of those tests aren't public, there have been no leaks to the contrary, at any rate, and no changes in the planned use of Raptor have been announced (and SpaceX hasn't generally been at all shy about announcing changes to their plans).

I think it's a pretty safe bet right now that Starship will launch and that they will get it working reliably, and that they will have to blow up a few along the way to make those things happen.
Why not? It's not something that gives Windows a competitive edge and it's very unlikely it could be ported to another platform.

"Toxic masculinity" harms both men and women. It's most often pointed out in the way expected, common male behaviors harm women, such as cat-calling and ignoring women in meetings (among any others).

But the things you talk about are also examples of toxic masculinity. It's anything that's forced on men specifically solely for being male, whether it benefits them or not. Often, even the things that might be advantages (like "men are big and strong and like to fight") will harm some if not all men.

Not all masculinity is toxic, but there are many different ways to be a man. The toxicity comes in enforcing one specific stereotypical, outdated kind of masculinity.
Thanks for that! zsv looks amazing. Yeah, it's definitely going to whip GoAWK, what with SIMD parsing and careful memory handling. I've done a couple of basic things for GoAWK's CSV performance, but haven't profiled or looked at allocation bottlenecks (absolute performance definitely wasn't my first focus).

Yeah, sorry about huge.csv -- I found it online somewhere originally by searching for something like "large csv example", but can't for the life of me find it now. It's a monster 1.5GB file with 286 columns including quoted fields (whereas worldcitiespop only has a few columns and it doesn't look like it has quoted fields). I can upload to a file transfer service and send a link to you if you want ... though I should really update my benchmarks to use an easily-downloadable file instead.
I have a few apps out there and you can’t tell them apart from native. They are insanely snappy. Flutter is the bomb.
In the end it may just be about (corrupted) power. Those who are in power can use the data they gather through surveillance to stay in power, even without "disappearing". It's sufficient to be able to identify whistleblowers and have that be known in order for fewer people to blow the whistle.

At least one country that I heard of (Kazachstan) requires everyone to install a cert issued by the gouvernement that enables them to do this kind of MITM spying on users. That could be the argument against allowing user-installed certs.

And since you are asking on HN .. what kind of hacking/ development do you want to do?

Saying “we don’t want to” is technically a reason, sure, but it doesn’t mean I understand the why. Why is that a problem?

(Depending on that why, I have an idea or two for a workaround, but you can’t suggest solutions until you understand the actual issue. I have my own laundry list of issues with Cargo that I have to work around; it’s painful and I have a lot of empathy for that.)
I sure was. I fail to see how your question answers either of the two questions I was asking however.

Wouldn't be the first time. The old 2D "nv" driver was part of X11, and maintained by Nvidia employees.

The catch, besides it being 2D only, was the "source code" was actually somewhat obfuscated.

A good definition of power is from Hannah Arendt, it's "the ability to coordinate voluntary collective action". If you can do this you have power because you can't coerce everyone at once all the time.
Of course not. Both parties use it at all levels of government. Getting rid of it only helps non-politicians, ergo politicians will never support it (unless they are losing).

- Integration testing - This exists and is very commonly used: https://docs.flutter.dev/cookbook/testing/integration/introd...

- Location - This 100% should be a core offering, its crazy that its not for mobile application.

- iOS dark mode - Flutter supports Dark Mode - https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/ThemeMode.html

- iOS keyboard dismiss decoration - Not sure on this.

- iOS keyboard scroll-to-dismiss mode - This is trivial to setup, just listen on scroll and hide keyboard. You could even create a generic handler that can be reused everywhere for this.

- iOS NavigationLink widget - Not familiar with this construct but easy to build yourself.

- iOS checkbox widget - Totally agree but also easy to build directly.

- Android camera that doesn't randomly crash (unfixed for 3 years) - We've got a couple application that use camera and never had this issue.

- Android date-time picker - This has been in for a long time: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/showDatePicker.html

- Usable documentation for Navigator 2.0 - I think the updated docs on navigation have addressed this issue largely.

- Debugger visibility into Dart async tasks - You can 100% debug async tasks.

- Stop HTTP requests on timeout - This exists in Flutter https://stackoverflow.com/a/51489701

- Testing on physical devices for apps that use flavors - We do this regularly across 5 different flavors on both iOS and Android.

- UI inspection tools that don't randomly stop working - Never had this happen.
