A lot of these are all or nothing arguments. Yes, the US didn't withdraw completely, fighting in Iraq didn't stop completely, but that isn't meaningful. There were substantial reductions, and policy dictates more.

Also, statistics and drawing dividing lines on Oval Office changes isn't as meaningful as it appears. First, policy takes months or years to develop, and then it's implemented, and then we see the consequences for years or decades after; no president affects policy much on their first day. Second, it needs to be evaluated in context: Obama withdrew combat forces substantially from Iraq, which IIRC was a campaign promise, and then ISIL grew and became a threat and Obama had to deal with them, sending forces back but in a limited fashion - leaving almost all ground combat to the Iraqi and Kurdish militaries. Trump IIRC sent more forces to finish off ISIL and then pulled almost everyone out (causing the resignation in protest of the Secretary of Defense and of the top diplomat for the region). There's a clear message that the US wants to withdraw, which tells Middle East states that the US won't be as much of a force and tells Russia and China that there is room for them to move in.

> people do not perceive America as anything approaching weak with their military

We are talking about America's overall geopolitical power, which depends on far more than the military - 99% of the world isn't fighting a war. The point isn't that the military lacks firepower, but geopolical power is perceived to be lacking - especially the political will and unity to use that power. For example, Russia and China use the Afgan pullout extensively in propaganda, telling people in places like Taiwan that the US wouldn't defend them. The support for Ukraine has changed that substantially, however.
>But many teachers get into teaching not because of a mastery of their subject matter or even teaching but because they want to be paid babysitters, more or less.

You're missing the forest for the trees. We're graduating kids who are functionally illiterate. That isn't a teacher problem. That isn't a school problem.
I've spend a few minutes on your page, yet I couldn't answer the following questions:

* Do you already have a working editor I could test or is this merely an announcement?

* Is this an open source project or a proprietary product? Does it cost money? If yes how much?
But how do I start the new job? I still have my old job, and I'm afraid to quit until the background is done, is this wrong? Should I just go for it?

I get how people without a job can start, but how do I start? Feels risky to resign from current.

Who does? Seriously the terrible things that a small group of people do to one another is very hard to deal with. In my communities (anarchist adjacent?) we have had exactly this problem. We do better now, but we are all older and have excluded the bad people. (Where did they go? What are they doing now?)

The "hackers" have a reputation for being a white boy's club war whooping and "big penis" strutting. Yes. Try reporting a bug in emacs (Or Audacity.). Get screamed at that you are such a fool as to have reported a bug you installed on your system with out downloading compiling and installing source.

What pricks. Love their work, their software, they are probably noce to animals, but what pricks.

It is not like that everywhere. The community around Rust has gone in totally the opposite direction.

Things change and (hopefully) get better. I hope the "Eternal September" is finally coming to an end and we will start working together with love and respect rather than "strutting our stuff" at the expense of others.

Here, I find, is a good example of that.
Stuffing mail ballots makes zero sense if you're actually trying to tilt elections in your favor. It requires too much effort and conspiracy to get past the procedure you describe. Your crime-ing efforts are better off throwing away your opponents' mail ballots.

>With anything over a few ms latency remote debugging is impossible (or at least extremely annoying). Step over? Wait a few seconds to a minute until the debugger issues one call to get each variable in scope and all the other goodies.

Feel like this is similar to how Dropbox started. In that, the reasons given for why it wouldn't work were based on how previous solutions sucked. So yeah, if your debugger takes a minute to work then it'd suck. But what if it didn't?
Sadly this will probably never happen. Tarn is no slouch as a coder, but he's an old school C programmer working on a massive, legacy, single-threaded C++ codebase. Introducing useful and stable multithreading to similar codebases has taken teams of programmers years to achieve.

You'd have to watch the full video in order for us to discuss it properly, you seem to be missing key details. However it is only available paid on demand (2000 mules dot com), not on a free streaming service.

The location analysis is explained throughout the film, but it's mainly after the intro and before going into the state security camera footage / general discussions.

The main point I was making it the location path and frequency of dropbox points is how they filtered people out. They only took people that went from one dropbox location to another dropbox location, at least 10 times. Then they analyzed how many times those devices went on those routes and how many devices met that criteria in total.

A test suite would be designed to call every routine in a project a limited number of times. This means the JIT compiler will be compiling each routine, for it to be run a few times then thrown away.

Realistic loads might have the same routines run more intensely and might see more benefit from the JIT compiler.

That doesn't really solve for all the ways you can rig an election. For example in '2000 Mules' they propose that democratically aligned charities like homeless shelters and elder care homes would gather ballots from their vulnerable populations, fill them out for their preferred candidates, and then have mules distribute those ballots to publicly accessible ballot boxes 3 to 5 at a time.

They have some interesting footage of those boxes, and a lot of the footage is apparently conspicuously missing. However nothing concrete, so take this as a thought experiment.

How do you prove they didn't do that from the raw ballot counts and voter roles in a way that I don't have to take someone else's word for it?
Great question!

I will try to answer this one without too much implementation details.

First of all, cache items can be evicted and are not durable, which is just a fact. But that doesn't mean we can't track progress (in terms of "time" or "logical time"/"order" in distributed system terms). The social graph is sharded (not surprisingly). We can keep progress of each cache host per shard, which is just a map kept in memory, which doesn't get evicted.

I hope this answers your question.

And still this never happened in any other democratic country doing paper ballots. Simple reason: If there are more votes in the ballot box then registered voters (ideally this means everyone above voting and eligible to vote) you know someone tempered the ballot box. And having more than one (where I live I'm always puzzled how they find the hundreds of people to monitor the dozens of polling places since we have at least four people per polling station) person monitoring the handing out of ballots. having dozens polling stations, with a limited number of voters, means any ballot stuffing has close to no impact on results, doesn't scale and easy to catch. same goes for properly set up mail in ballots and voting, I know for a fact that all that works without any signatures and other things, a central registry of residents goes a looong way in solving this.
You know perfectly well that until Geiger counters or scintillation counters are regularly included in smartphones, people will simply not be carrying them. So, no, it's not easily detectable for the vast portion of the human population.

> Except its no where near as smooth or universal as in Windows. In Linux, you have to worry about KDE programs vs GNOME programs having different clipboards, for example.

I am no sure where you get this idea. The clipboard is an X11 shared resource and any program taking control of it removes what any other had on it before.

> Its also why compatible suites of programs (ie: Adobe) can be so useful when those custom formats come into play. Adobe can copy/paste layers from Photoshop and send them over to other programs. If the photoshop layer isn't understood, it seems to become a Bitmap, which works when I'm on a VBulletin forum over in Firefox land.

The same exists on X11, programs can define custom metadata and define a hierarchy of different metadata and associated data on the clipboard and any application can decide for itself which formats it understands and which it does not.

I've personally built software that puts images on clipboards, and falls back with uris to that image if direct images not be supported by whatever reads it.
I'm actually quite surprised that it takes over 30 seconds to go through only 300000 items and generate some text with them. Unless the story is from ancient times, that is.

Honestly it's the same with everything online nowadays. I have an HN account associated with my name, but I'm incredibly sparing with what I post from it. 99% of my HN comments are from an anonymous account. If someone googles my name and finds my HN account they'll see a comment once every month or two where I share things I know about my languages of choice; they definitely won't find my thoughts on social justice, tech culture, etc. It makes me as bland and safe as possible to prospective employers (though I do publicize some of my interests/hobbies from my "doxxed" accounts at least)
What people mean when they say that is that someone's opinion on evidence-based policies shouldn't be intertwined with their allegiance to a particular party. The entire point of politics is determining policy, and policy has an effect on the outcomes the doctors that wrote the article want to improve.
That's a good point, and I think there are many civilizations that have used gold only for its aesthetic value. The Incan empire had ornaments, statues, etc., in pure gold, yet they didn't use it as currency. One of the emperors gifted the Spanish conquistadors a big room full of gold, as a token of friendship. It all went downhill from there.

that's not the TL;DR of the piece at all. One important point the article talks about is the expansion of Medicaid to at risk individuals predominantly in blue states, and it seems intuitive that this is politically causative rather than just class correlation.

>In fact, Silver parsed the data to discover the average Trump voter makes $72,000 per year — a middle-class income solidly above the typical American.

>As compared with most Americans, Trump’s voters are better off. The median household income of a Trump voter so far in the primaries is about $72,000, based on estimates derived from exit polls and Census Bureau data.

>That’s lower than the $91,000 median for Kasich voters. But it’s well above the national median household income of about $56,000. It’s also higher than the median income for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supporters, which is around $61,000 for both.
What better source is there?
What do you think is the ratio between projects that need precise timing and projects that publish some sensor data every 60 seconds?

I think you can easily do 90% of iot projects with this. Which means you have more time for the 10% of projects that are actually hard.

No but they seem to be progressing at great speed, atleast that is my impression from the reading the dwarfortress main blog for years.
It seems pretty clear to me that in the video games industry (and pretty much any 'art' industry for that matter) great results are driven by singular, great people. Todd Howard was the mind behind TES and Fallout 3/4. Hidetaka Miyazaki was the mind behind Souls / Elden Ring. Shigeru Miyamoto was the mind behind Mario. And it's because these people really care about the product they are making. They have PASSION.

When it comes to a game like 76, which was clearly mandated by some greedy executives who don't play games, the lack of passion permeates the whole game. From what the article describes it seems like nobody wanted to work on this thing - not the QA, not the devs, not the managers. The end result is no surprise. Nobody cared.

If I was a games exec, I would do everything to empower the great minds that produce great games to pursue the projects they are passionate about. Unfortunately there are a lot of very successful companies out there that do the exact opposite of that, but the tide seems to be turning.

EDIT: I want to clarify that part and parcel with being a talented passionate game director is the ability to build a great team and keep the team motivated. Obviously passion isn't the only ingredient to make a great game. As with any other massive undertaking, teams of humans are what get the job done. I simply observe that these singular figures have the two-part gift of understanding what makes a great game, and also being able to attract others who can help execute that vision.
Eliminating gifted programs is insane. It makes way more sense to concentrate education resources on the children who will benefit the most.

Maybe more effort needs to go towards identifying these children earlier. A bright child is obvious, regardless of race.

Is your argument here that cache invalidation may no longer be hard because you can implement systems like Polaris which continually test your cache implementation to try and catch invalidation problems so you can then go and fix them?

EDIT: Already answered in this reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31671794
It's actually not. It's not clear from the way the article is written, but he's talking about two different things, both of which various reform bodies have proposed eliminating. The first is "gifted and talented education" programs, which involve additional coursework and activities on top of normal schooling. I'm not going to claim I remember super well what we did at this point, but I do remember learning how to make donuts from scratch, holding mock trials, learning computer-aided design at a time the regular school system didn't even have computers yet, and taking the SAT in 6th grade. All of these happened either after school or in the summer.

The other thing is related to tracking. That is where Algebra comes in. Not all students will take it at the same time. Instead, students are segregated into separate tracks, one of which will start with Algebra in middle school and eventually end up taking Calculus by the end of high school. The other won't get to Algebra until high school and will never take Calculus at all.

These are separate phenomena, but the author here is drawing an analogy between the reasons given for eliminating both GATE programs and educational tracking systems (as in, both are seen as being racially biased).
There's a second dead comment with some objectionable language. And the comment on this thread that makes unsubstantiated claims about the implication of this case. And my concern about this posting isn't that we should or shouldn't be interested in this case of fraud, but rather that it's a local news story that is completely off-topic for HN. It's not academic, or technical, or related to entrepreneurship or any of the other topics of interest. It is suspicious that a 1 hour old account posts something that would normally get zero traction on this site suddenly shoots to the top. And the timing this close to the first public hearings on the Jan 6 committee is ever more suspicious.
> Why can't we just admit it and quit trying to make people who are unique the same?

Because this sentiment is exactly opposed to a dominant philosophical framework built upon the axiom that, because all people are exactly identical, any difference in outcome is necessarily the result of hidden power structures.

The replacement of “equality” with “equity” is a dead giveaway that you’re dealing with Marxism. Equality before the law and equality of opportunity are American principles, but they are fading as equality of outcome is held up as the only acceptable standard.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, an outspoken Soviet dissident, famously wrote: “Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

Much greater energy and intelligence is required to advocate for equal opportunity as compared to equal outcomes, and much greater worldly experience is required to value equal opportunity as compared to equal outcomes. It will always be easy for politicians to set people against each other and dilute the common good by pushing Marxism. It is the path of least effort and greatest personal return for low quality leaders.

> isn't the typical bug related to cache invalidation that a service forgets to contact the cache server for invalidation?

That's not the case based on our experience at FB. At-least-once delivery is a solved problem basically.

But you are absolutely right that if there's an issue in the invalidation delivery, it's possible that polaris won't receive the event as well. Polaris actually supports a separate event stream (all the way from client initiated writes) to cover this case.

Arguing this point is all downstream from the fact software complexity has turned our general purpose machines away from general purpose use.
