That might be the right system to make voting on lots of media practical threw terrible input devices but when we are talking about a political system that decides how to use nuclear weapons, the effort is worth it.

I'd be very surprised if this were true.
Because the US loves to meddle in the policy of foreign countries. That's reason enough for powerful people in other countries to try to do the same in the US.
I don’t think that training leaves your system, as much as you sometimes might want it to.
TLDR; America rules the world’s financial system, and much more. So the world has good reason to be interested in American politics.

Unfollow/nute any account that has more than 10k followers. Especially if they are social media famous.
Putin wants to destabilize. He's not trying to shape politics one way or another. He wants chaos and anarchy for his enemies. However, lots of billionnaires wish to influence society toward their "vision".
Cool! I would like to be able to use j and k to navigate up and down when in item selection mode, a la vim (to avoid moving hand to arrow keys).
1% of global energy usage is an insanely high number for something like this. 1% is absolutely not a drop in a bucket.
I wonder if it’s a self fulfilling prophecy to some extent. Like big money follows the tailwinds. Republican enthusiasm is high right now, maybe big democrat money isn’t being spent this cycle because of that. Idk, I have absolutely no data to back this up.

Better for everyone.

People learn. It is easier to learn to change your behavior when the consequences are low. Learning environments are constructed in such a way so that people can make mistakes and learn from them. The way it was described, it sounds like in college, the author would incorporate texts into her own work without citation. A likely consequence for this behavior, in college, is to fail the course.

Reportedly, she manipulated people into letting her get away with it. As a result, it was easier for her to believe that what she was doing was right.

> [...] being willing to do it (whether you're a college "kid" or not) says something striking about your character [...]

Character is somewhat malleable and most morals (like "do not plagiarize") must be taught. I agree with Xunzi's take on human nature here. At birth we are self-centered and have no moral compass. We have the capacity to become good people through education and discipline, although not everyone does.
If you haven't already checked it out, I'd suggest investigating use of `evdi` ("Extensible Virtual Display Interface") for the virtual display aspect of this:

The Rakuten Hand 5G ( https://network.mobile.rakuten.co.jp/product/smartphone/raku... ) sounds like it fits the bill at 138 × 63 × 9.5mm vs iPhone 13 mini's 131.5 × 64.2 × 7.65mm, though it's only available in Japan from Rakuten Mobile.

If you have ever been at school long enough (let alone university) you'd probably know that there's a large percentage (as in, nothing like 0.x %, much higher than that) of teachers or professors who have relationships with some students (that are either hidden or well known but nobody cares).

In universities we are talking about people who are adults - it's up to the school to decide what is acceptable or not, but in my understanding there's a lot of this going on when you have younger professors and students in close contact.
One of the big challenges: convincing people to drink water that was desalinated at a nuclear power plant.
I can't imagine writing in the style that the guilty party utilizes. If I am writing a piece, it's either soulless corporate drivel or something I genuinely care about. My substack is not high-quality, but it's definitely me. I've never copy-pasted something there that wasn't in a block quote.

Just sits wrong that it's possible for people to do that and feel good about it.
We just started planning our transition, as well. This was handled so poorly I can't imagine anyone would ever plan to start a new project on their platform.
No not waterproof, but I didn't try very hard. I would sort of prefer the phone to be easier to open. I used t-7000 glue which seemed really good, the main spot I feel like is not waterproof is where the finger print reader attaches to the back panel, and the camera lense cover.
I wouldn't give players instructions, but make a super simple level for them to understand the most important rule: circles throw lasers that destroy same colored squares. Give them a few more increasingly difficult levels for that rule, then introduce another rule with a simple level. Keep increasing difficulty, show another rule and throw in the actual game.
I have one of these too. I used it for a few months and aside from the battery life, I loved it. I wish the bootloader would’ve been open for custom roms that could’ve taken advantage of it better, but it’s been in a drawer ever since.

I still wish it had a future.
> if a team member was leaving for a similar role at another company, would the manager try to keep them?

This is simplistic. Sometimes managers don't want a high-performing employee on their team just because the employee is a competitive threat to them.
It sounds like you’re talking about output, not input.

Are there standards to represent, for example, Ctrl+Alt+* (I.e. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+8) ? Additionally with cursor keys, Insert, Delete, Backspace, F1 - F12, etc.

I’ve searched several times for such standards before but never had any luck…
Manager reads this and fires everyone on their team who are not "keepers".

Ok Reid, now where are those "dream team" replacements for them that you promised?

Reid?
Grubhub once accepted and completed an order for me, for a restaurant that was closed. They kept closing my support ticket too and I was never able to resolve the issue.

I explained my issue, sent a pic of the restaurant with chains on the doors, and they closed the issue as solved and wouldn't let me reopen the ticket.

This does not surprise me in the least.
Completely unrelated plagiarism story:

Right now is the end of the school year for many schools in the USA. That makes it a time for final exams for many students. This week a student I know prepared for the Literature final by reading through the SparkNotes for the book they had read earlier. Then the student took some SparkNotes practice tests on the book. Then the student showed up to take the actual final exam.

The final exam was verbatim the SparksNotes practice test--uncredited.
I completely stopped getting their update emails when I deleted all of my running apps. This is the second one I've seen on HN that I haven't received (though I received the others).

Is the impact limited to specific customer accounts, or are they just not updating me anymore?
You obviously didn't read my post then, given that one of the points is "this would definitely be just as bad were this right revoked, too"
I'm pretty sure Yankee comes from the British trying to insult Americans by calling them wankers. It didn't work out too well :-)
What if the soon to be fired-employee is just currently not able to give 100%? Maybe something in his personal life triggered a depression, maybe a death of a close friend, or he just became a dad and needs to invest a lot of energy in his child? Things happen...and life is not predictable.

This philosophy strikes me as cruel. Not everything is your fault, sometimes life is just hard and work, especially for anonymous giga-corp, is not all there is.
Does Grubhub offer a way for a restaurant to limit the number of orders that it can take per hour? That seems like it would solve at least part of the problem
This has been litigated multiple times on HN before.

At this point it’s just flamebait.
"Victim" of plagiarism should include the misled readers who are denied the context of the original work and the source, possibly to read further later.
Correct and complete systems are large and complex, sure, but they are almost always comprised of small and simple parts. Unix in the 90s was around 300k LOC, hardly a small and simple system, but if we're to believe the author, it must have been made of small and simple parts.
High churn rate in any dressing leads to stress. Stress often counterproductive for creativity. The expected result of the policy is a mediocre work with a lot of unproductive politicking self-selecting corresponding survivors.

Second that. Mainline support is great, there was a small huccup with the ethernet driver but it is fixed iirc.
OK, this is nuts. How are they doing smooth scrolling? I want that on tmux bad.

I'm suddenly really excited for what can be done on TUIs. Like I was some 40 years ago.

Edit: and you can write CSS instead of curses? That's seriously cool.
One thing that I have really come to like with Heroku is the pipeline. fly.io doesn't have one (I don't think?) and render isn't the same; it rebuilds for different stages and there's no concept of 'promoting' the same slug.
Where’s the AI startup for providing an NCO cadre?

I’m not sure if there’s a term yet. I like to call the general vibe (colors, unnecessary font variations, “I’m gods gift to humanity and all you people and your years of hard work are idiotic and beneath me, even though I have yet to do anything life changing” attitude): programmer wishing they were postmodern artist.
I use listOf(), setOf() and mapOf(). Longer than literals, right, but not by much.

And for exploratory .filter{} and .map{} are much better than Python's awkward map(lambda x: ...) and filter(lambda x: ...).

Worse is when you spend a bunch of time rewording an email to upper management or an important stakeholder making sure they don't get the wrong idea or misinterpret your words, re-read it several times, hit send, then check your sent items and notice words missing :')
That doesn't really mean anything. Lots of large companies with hundreds of billions in their bank account lay people off by choice rather than compulsion when the environment ensures that they won't get too much negative press for it. Same thing happened in 2008 with Microsoft, Google and many others.
Run a tmux session, then you can scroll back as many lines as it preserves (configurable).
How about a conditional breakpoint? Though this doesn’t solve the “issue” of rerunning through the whole list.

Or - once you’ve found what element in your list is causing the issue- extract it and feed it to your function with your debugger on.

Admittedly I have often had a more challenging time fixing FP code than if I had used a for loop. This might be because I am not as familiar/comfortable with FP than procedural flow.

There has to be a for loop eventually. But crawling through a for loop within a procedure can also be painful if there are many different case scenarios. You could counter that good code wouldn’t suffer such a problem, but if the code was good it might not have been broken!
I think it's specific to apps with Review Apps or Heroku CI (specifically the Config Vars). If you didn't have those, based on this email, you may not be impacted.
I bet you could build the whole thing in a weekend, huh?
I had always thought a necessary step along the way to natural speech synthesis would be adding markup to the text. But I guess the use case being chased is reading factual information, where you don't use sarcasm or other emotional color. Trying to convert text to emotive speech requires markup IMO. Even the best actors will read their lines the wrong way and need correction by the director.
From the email:

> We value transparency and wanted to notify you of an issue affecting your account.

My guess is they sent it to users with pipelines that have env vars. It's funny since this sentence demonstrates they don't value transparency by not telling the other users more information about the hack.

They updated Heroku Status but surprisingly failed to mention anything about CI or pipelines.
Very true. This is what makes games like Red Dead Redemption II so amazing.

In the end making a game is like any other complex engineering project. The hard part isn't conceiving of something awesome worth doing, concepting a world, the dreaming part. The hard part is wrapping your collective head around the magnitude of work required, managing and putting limits on that, and successfully dividing up and doling out the work so that it's done in close to the promised time frame.

There is a famous saying I'm forgetting, something about anyone can work on something forever, successful teams ship product.
Good luck enforcing that
Long running instances of Linux are very stable and require little to no maintenance, depending on how things are set up.
I did not mean to pick on you, but I have heard this "women not being able to have their own bank account" trope many times.

You have to qualify it with married.

A single woman could open a bank account without anyone's permission! A married women was considered a part of a partnership with her husband.
You seem to care about their political alignment as well, otherwise you wouldn't have attempted to discredit the RCP's reporting for having a bias against a foreign progressive billionaire.
Probably a combination of acquired taste, and non-conformism. I took classical lessons as a kid, and played in the school jazz band. I think among some musicians, we get sick of the same old stuff, and thirst for "hotter" music. This tendency was what propelled jazz forward, so if you progress through jazz along a more or less historical path (as a player or a listener), you will kind of experience the same thing.

In high school, being interested in anything but top 40 made you a freak. Oddly enough the kids who were accepting of a shy nerd who liked jazz and classical, were the punk rockers. That's whom I hung out with.

For some musicians, "hotter" can also mean older, such as baroque or early music specialists.
doesn't that only work with distribution systems that can target individual accounts? since that legislation does not allow pushing a backdoor to all users instead of the one being targeted?

hence f-droid would not be able to comply with such an order since it doesn't even have a concept of user acounts. same goes for most linux distributions
It worked because it was necessary. And occasionally still is.

But we have workable alternatives now. We have bigger teams with version control servers, static analysis, and safer languages.

We can make it general enough to be attract 1000 developers, then those 1000 developers can all decide to go for correctness in all cases with high feature richness.

"Software" barely existed at the time of UNIX. UNIX philosophy basically says "Don't write software, assemble it onsite as needed just for one task".

UNIX was amazing, and provided a great base to eventually evolve Linux and co, but it no longer seems to be the only way to do things.
> I've taught a lot of people programming, and frequently work with novices. Functional concepts are nearly universally a sticking point for learners. For loops haven't caused any more trouble than the other basic concepts in my experience. It's an order of magnitude more difficult for learners.

The problem is that is teaches people the "wrong" * way to use R. I agree for loops are easier to understand, but when nearly the entire R universe operates on vectors, you end up with students who will do R the hard way their entire career.

If you surveyed most R users (verses R programmers) I would say the majority would be unaware that the base type is a vector.

* I know there is no wrong way to do anything, but I have seen plenty of times for loops simply applying an already vectorized function to each element of the vector.
> ITS is also available as open source (https://github.com/PDP-10/its)

Sometimes I wonder, if you wanted to create an operating system like ITS for more modern platforms, what it would look like?

ITS is written in PDP-10 assembly, what if someone wrote a compiler which read in PDP-10 assembly language and spit out C code? Could that be a first step to porting it?

It is surely a lot more complicated than that. It contains self-modifying code, which would obviously break that translation strategy. A lot of hardware-specific code would have to be rewritten. 6 character filenames without nested directories might have been acceptable in the 1970s, but few could endure it today. A multi-user system with a near-total absence of security was acceptable back then, obviously not in today's very different world.

ITS does have some interesting features contemporary systems don't:

A process can submit commands to be run by the shell that spawned it – actually MS-DOS COMMAND.COM also had that feature (INT 2E), but I haven't seen anything else with it. A Unix shell could implement this by creating a Unix domain socket, and passing its path to subprocesses via an environment variable–but I've never seen that done.

Another was that a program being debugged could call an API to run commands in its own debugger – I've never seen that in any other debugger, although I suppose you could write a GDB plugin to implement it (have a magic do-nothing function, then a GDB Python script sets a breakpoint on that function, and interprets its argument as commands for GDB.) Actually, in ITS these two features were the exact same feature, since the debugger was used as the command shell.

Another was that a program had named subprocesses (by default the subprocess name was the same as the executable name, but it didn't have to be.) Compare that to most Unix shells, where it is easy to forget what you are running as background jobs 1, 2 or 3.
Part of that is because they want to make the program fun. Microsoft Teams is what you get when you focus on utilitarianism. The program is stale and depressing, it mostly works fine but sparks no joy. While every time I use discord I feel a little better. Opening it up and seeing some confetti burst for an update makes me feel good. Even if it is silly. But when I want to get something done, its very easy to understand. If I want to create a new group, the big plus button is right on the side bar, If I want to stream my game to friends, it shows the game next to the voice chat while its running and I just press the big button. The flows are so seamless and it all just works.
Yeah fair enough, there's more competition now. Still, pre-Uber things were just dire. The BC government was extremely openly corrupt and gave the taxi industry a headstart and tens of millions of dollars to make the Kater app, and it was still completely unusable (and now shut down). Before we got Lyft/Uber you were stuck either using extremely unreliable Yellow Cab dispatch, or using the shady probably-illegal Mandarin-only app that I forget the name of.
You mean like Org-mode?
I might replace the fingerprint sensor if it's not too expensive because that's the part I'm having the most issues with...
There is no real connection between the two but Gopher always makes me think of OS/2 since it was the platform I used Gopher on. There was a free PM Gopher client available which was written by an IBM employee on their own time.

How much salt are we talking? A large portion of the country coats all paved surfaces with it during and after every snow/freezing rain. Shut down the salt mines if need be.
Your niche use of cryptocurrency isn't a valid counterpoint to the reality that cryptocurrency, in its general use, is for gambling and money laundering.

We used Rippling and are never looking back.

I can onboard an employee or contractor with SaaS accounts allocated, etc. in 5 minutes. Furthermore payroll and healthcare have been a breeze. We were able to get great, cheap healthcare when it was just 2 of us, which, by and large, breaks the narrative that healthcare is (nearly) impossible for small business.

My cofounder and I are constantly praising how seamless Rippling is vs manual.

Where they can improve is just adding more SaaS account integrations that don’t require Enterprise plans. About half of our SaaS providers would require us to upgrade to “Enterprise” to support the automated flow that Rippling does which is sometimes 5 to 10x more expensive per employee. Rippling would crush that if they can partner with a bunch of their SaaS integrations to provide a workaround for that.

I’d never consider working at an “HR” company, but Rippling is the exception.
This is exactly how the opening reads to the book No Rules Rules. Erin Meyer, a business professor, has that exact analysis of what "should" happen in an environment like one Netflix describes. But she interviewed dozens of Netflix employees for the book and found that the theory you state doesn't hold. The book is about figuring out why that is the case.
