Yes. The person in the left seat of an aircraft is unquestionably in charge and responsible for the safety of the crew and passengers. An aircraft is not a commune; there is a chain of command. If you don't like it you can leave.

Let's get the FDA a bigger lab budget and some sharper teeth -- but at the same time, we should not legislate based on hunches. If we do that, it will quickly devolve into every year we get a new brand of government-mandated Asbestos Free Cereal. No thanks.
Well, HS2 is going to destroy the burial site anyway so it makes sense to investigate before that happens.

That can also be a guild.

"Cult" is a term from the study of religion (a particular field's jargon, if you will), and usually conveys intense devotion, a ritual or sacrificial dimension that goes beyond a master craftsman's level of devotion to a craft.

Also, a guild can't entertain fanciful ideas about their craft for too long, if the ideas don't work in practice.

The distinction is kind of like using Cobol to build a good solid system (guild), versus dropping some Lisp to reach enlightenment (cult), or using C to build a solid system (cult).

In which case, I'm voting cult all the way.
Agreed, in it's heyday (before Intel dominated in PC era), AMD was my go-to for performance processors.
Show HN: The parametric FizzBuzz problem is more interesting than the original
I recently ran across an interesting problem.

Every time I see FizzBuzz mentioned somewhere on the internet it is the same again and again and I was thinking:

That's a dumb problem like Russ Cox is saying.

But it gets interesting if it is a parametric FizzBuzz!

And what about unit testing it for all possible combinations of input?

How to achieve 100% coverage?
I think a key point maybe getting missed here is that cults do not
want their members to leave. In Digital Vegan I wrote a short chapter
about cults in tech, or rather the "cults of tech". Facebook is one
(for the users not employees). Emotional blackmail and tricks are used
to keep people from leaving. Here it seems withdrawing membership is a
threat to enforce behaviours, as in many secret/privileged societies,
hence, as I said in a comment above, this is a clique within Google
(of cult members - and probably participants in all sorts of other
unsavoury and disgraceful stuff)

Edit: to distinguish membership of Google from membership of the
"Fellowship" cult)
I mean, they lost the case, they're not going to be able to successfully sue anyone for using the word WebAssembly, which they could have done regardless of whether or not they trademarked it, so that's a moot point. Nevertheless, people seem to have no problems forking Firefox and not literally calling it Firefox. Other open source companies own trademarks, and no one is implicitly suspicious of their motives. In the darkest of timelines when Wasmer owns a trademark over the word WebAssembly just use another word in your brand.

It seems like people are specifically interested in spreading FUD about Wasmer and I can't see the justification for it.

I'm surprised you didn't go all the way and just write

very weird that two characters - $( and $) - were used before { and }

The odds that you can better assess "best person for the job" from a resume and a few hours of interviews vs. several years of working together are also slim to none.

I suspect this because every other application appears to have an identical video player. Maybe they're all sharing code, but more likely the video player is system-available to any application.

Obesity is reducing sperm counts, which is still well in the normal range. Look up adipose cells and estrogen production.

Anxiety and fear are more related to internet usage, which is created intentionally to get engagement numbers. Look up the relationship between cortisol and hormones/sperm counts.

No, it's a huge difference. Manchester United fan is not a protected class in the US, but religion is. Hiring or demoting against someone who's not part of your church is Very Illegal in most situations but firing or demoting someone because you disagree with their football preferences is... perhaps psychotic, but totally legal.
Go comes from a different school of compiler design where the code generation is decent in most cases, but struggles with calculations and more specific patterns. Delphi is a similar compiler. Looking at benchmarks, the performance is only a few times worse than optimized C. That's on par with the most optimized JITed languages like Java, while being overall a much simpler compiler. I feel it is is fair to say 'good enough' in this situation.
Corporations are neither aircraft nor ships at sea. They're subject to boards and other mechanisms to check the power of the chief executive. There are unofficial ways to express dissatisfaction or no-confidence towards that leader, without it being considered outright mutiny.
I was riding Peddar’s Way[1] in England last year.

It was an old Roman road but I was told by someone on the trail it actually dates back to pre-Roman Britain.

That blew my mind. To walk or ride roads so old and yet so unchanged.

How would you explain the presence of landmasses corresponding to the Atlantis myth that can be found in the Azores plateau? Additionally, the legend itself was recovered from Egypt, so whether or not the Greeks had knowledge of the Atlantic would have no bearing on if the Egyptians (or, more importantly, the people who were their progenitors) had this knowledge.
Yea but this one runs on 6 operating systems with the same binary artifact.
In most cases, it’s sufficient to avoid the “people who are a bad fit for the job” rather than needing the “best people for the job”. Deep knowledge acquired via years of working/schooling with them is a much better selector than a half-day of interviewing.
Apple allows other browsers. They don't allow other browser engines.

And I actually don't see how cementing the Chrome engine's dominance on iOS as well as other platforms is good for the web. Because inevitably that is what will happen as just like in the IE days, websites will only work on that browser as it offers the most proprietary features. And why would you develop for multiple browsers when Chrome is available on all platforms and has such dominant market share.

People really need to be more careful with this because it could make the web less private, less secure, less driven by a spec and more beholden to Google's interests at the time.

Spending "a little time writing some programs in C" is not the same as advocating that people write most of their code in C, or that you use it in production.

> slightly different opinions about dbus

Recently i updated my machine and it would fail to boot because NetworkManager-wait-online.service's invocation of `nm-online -s` would fail even when NM was connected, even when `nm-online` actual liveness check would succeed.

I spent hours reading NM code, wading through auto-generated GObject introspections and their XML bullshit to try to figure out why org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.startup was true, what the magic numbers in org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Connection.Active.StateFlags meant, why my desktop wouldn't boot and couldn't even find what could could cause the state to change before I finally gave up and patched nm-wait-online to just invoke the codepath which did an actual liveness check rather than bumble through a bunch of dbus interfaces.

Gotta say I was missing the old KDE3 dcop after that... IPC is still such a PITA on linux.

They were providing you the trays outright before-- was that being left to your own devices? Seems the more natural and primitive state is letting you get your food and if you see fit to obtain a tray to eat it with well no one's stopping you.
“Treat people like volunteers” is such a double-edged concept though. Many of the catastrophic founders I’ve seen treat people like volunteers - in that they think passion will overcome piss-poor retribution and working conditions. It’s easy to think about “treating people like volunteers” when you’ve sorted out how to pay them at least close to market rates. Then yea, seek how to inspire them… But first, you may be better served if you treat them like professionals.
>Not really sure what the big deal is. Did the cult hurt this fellow? Abuse him? Discriminate against him? Mob him? No. The article really just talks about his own disapproval of the cult.

Quoting the article:

TCC is a fast compiler. So fast, that at one time, one could use it to boot Linux from source code! But there's a downside: the code is produces is slow. There's no optimization done. None. So the trade off seems to be: compile fast but slow program, or compile slow but fast program.
I wish this company succeeded with its mission, but it turned into a variant of Hackerrank I feel. I hate leetcode/hackerrank type interviews. On the hiring side of things where the company I work for screens candidates this way; it sucks. I would have loved to see a test of more practical programming experience.

Candidates spend their time on stupid coding questions all day instead of actually coding something useful or that they can learn from. I have a relative doing exactly this. No idea how to build a simple RESTful API, yet spends all his time on Hackerrank posting on linkedIn how he's in the top 'X' percent.

When they get hired and put on a "real world" project they are absolutely lost :(.

I also tried Triplebyte after seeing ads on Reddit. Passed a few tests and nothing really ever came of it other than an email.
I use ⌘⇧4 followed by space to capture a single window quite often, as well. Did not know about the TouchBar shortcut, as I've never owned a Mac with that Bar.
It reorders instructions in ways that are mathematically but not computationally equivalent (as is the nature of FP). This also breaks IEEE compliance.
There's a bunch of UI/UX regressions in Windows 11. Examples off the top of my head:

- After waking my computer from sleep, my last active window is not active any more. In fact, no window is active. I have to hit alt+tab to grab focus of the window again, or click the window (this probably wasn't caught because most people use their mouse for everything)

- There's new animations for the basic native Windows menus, including the Win+X menu I use for sleeping my computer, shutting down, etc. When you navigate to a sub-menu with the arrow keys, you have to wait for the animation of the sub-menu sliding out before you can interact with it. I've had to slow down my muscle memory to sleep my computer because otherwise I'll hit random other menu items cause the child menu didn't slide out fast enough to keep up with my inputs.

- I usually snap windows around with the Win+arrow keys shortcuts, but they added a new snap layout where sometimes when I do Win+up it brings the window to the top half of the screen. But that's also how you maximize a window, so I don't know how it decides which one it will do. In my experience it seems to be related to your key input speed.

- Sometimes I'll crop and resize images in Paint. They redid a bunch of the UI in Windows 11, and now when I use the resize menu, I can't hit enter to confirm the size I input. Again, seemingly this UI was only tested by people who use the mouse for everything.
Shameless question: is there a special trick to specify a filename for my screenshots in macOS? I manually rename after, and it's cumbersome.
That's true, but feels like these are always judgment calls. We can always armchair quarterback their judgment calls, but none of us have the full info. At least GH is sharing this info, which is a good call for trust building IMO.

> There's no fundamental problem making a statement that this expected lifetime is short for new things, even if some fraction of those new things will last a long time, right?

Everything that's new in the pool might be better than everything that's old.

All you can say about the old stuff is that it was better (by some metric(s)) than anything it had to compete with so far.

But you can't say anything about the new stuff. Sure, statistically it is likely that it will some blend of bad, middling and good, but you don't actually know the mix, or which term describes which items, until after the selection process (i.e. time) has taken place.
jamtaba and ninjam are an open source solutions to this problem.

They allow you to buffer everyone's playing, at a user specified interval, then replays the last measure of music to everyone.

It's definitely not the same as live playing, but it's still pretty fun, and actually forces you to get creative on different ways.

Good point. A lot of candidates wont care. Like all the crazy stuff Uber did probably didn’t bother most drivers or riders. And each bad publicity is still publicity.

Right, that's outrageous.

But young people presumably enter the clergy driven by a deep commitment to faith. Yet something along the way seems to convince them that God isn't real at all. I wonder what that is.

Excellent point. Please note that the Egyptians referred to the objects in the solar system as egg shaped. This sybolism survives in the memphis-misraim masonic rites, but they are considered clandestine and independent from mainstream masonry, reader beware.
Eliminating the same boring foo bar baz coding test is a great concept.

Being able to skip an hour or two out of a full interview across many companies is a great concept.

Having a 3rd party verified that allows you to be quickly matched with potential employers is a great concept.

Execution may be difficult, or impossible even. But that’s not an issue, when said company insists on shooting itself in the foot constantly.
it's just the backplane of your backpack.
This is a silly argument, you're asking for a literal translation of a pythonic problem without allowing the idioms from the other languages.

If you were actually trying to solve the problem in dotnet, you'd almost certainly structure it as the Queryable result and then at the very end after composing run ToList, or ToArray or consume in something else that will enumerate it.

We can also shorten it further to:

Enumerable.Range(1, 50)
.Where(e => e % 12 == 1)
.Skip(2)
.ToList()

Now even including the ToList it's now just four basic steps:

Range, Filter, Skip, Enumerate.

Those are the very basics, all one line if wanted. It doesn't get much more basic than that, and I'd still argue it's easier for someone new to programming to see what's going on in the C# than the python example.

edit: realised the maths simplifies it even further.
The Metaphysics of Retirement
Eh. Bad choice of words I guess. The implication is that the BSA and LDS were tight. Apparently to the point that 1 in every 5 scout was also a Mormon. Which is weird when Mormons account for only about 2 percent of the population at large.
This is indeed our goal– we're most of the way there with SQL 92 and plan to continue to expand our query support over time!
> Closing hundreds of polling locations absolutely affects voting outcomes and number of voters. That isn’t a big lie. It is a provable fact.

It doesn't meaningfully affect turnout in the same way Voter ID doesn't affect turnout: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/2/21/18230009/v.... Both parties are lying about the impacts of voting rules on turnout.

> You clearly don’t understand how total national vote total has nothing to do with whether or not Gerrymandering causes one party to have more seats than they otherwise ought to have.

You're mixing up completely different things. The Congressional popular vote represents the total number of people that voted for each party in House elections. It's an absolute number of votes, irrespective of number of seats. Republicans have won this absolute count more often than not since 1990. For example, in 2016, Republicans won 63,182,073 votes (49.1%) and Democrats won 61,765,832 votes. Also, you can cross check it against the generic Congressional ballot, which is based on polling and isn’t affected by gerrymandering: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls. Republicans are ahead right now. That’s not a “minority party.”

> Here’s a hint: A Representative from California res presents far more people than the one from North Dakota.

It's actually the opposite, though it's a rounding error. California has 53 representatives and 39 million people, or 736,000 people per rep. North Dakota has 1 representative and 760,000 people.

These sites are peddlers of election falsehoods, just like Breitbart or Newsmax.

The irony of all this is that progressive election lies are used to disenfranchise minorities within the Democratic Party. Disproportionately white progressives invoke the notion that Democrats have overwhelming popular support but elections are close because of dirty tricks, to boost their own power within the party. That happens at the expense of disproportionately conservative and moderate democrats, who are disproportionately minorities.

Political parties aren’t one big happy family. The truth is that there’s trade offs between the interests of different factions and we should be honest about those. If Obama hadn’t run to the right on social issues in 2008, we wouldn’t have Obamacare today (which cut the number of uninsured Black people by half). That’s the reality of the trade offs between different factions of the party.
Yes, there have been times that I have called linux command line utilities from python to process something rather do it in python.
Sure, I'm with you, but that doesn't change the fact that enough prospective employers ask you to rate your skills with X, Y, and Z on a scale of 1 to 10.

Like honestly I might think I'm a 3 at X, but if some test that thousands of other people took tells me I'm in the 90th percentile of X users, that information is still useful to me.
It's possible to recognize that mechanism and not mind being affected by it. There is nothing wrong with experiencing joy based on 'just' cosmetic changes. Indeed it's a direct effect of what's called 'novelty-seeking' behavior, a character trait associated with lots of positive things for the person and society, and only a few drug habits and untimely deaths in non-FAA-approved aircraft.

Many of the possibly meaningless desktop changes are also meaningless in the sense that they won't affect any workflow, and are therefore benign.
Nope. It's a flat circle.
It seems like increasingly every instance of inclement weather gets blamed on anthropogenic climate change, with the implicit existential guilt that that carries; like how since the beginning of time mankind has blamed inclement weather on anger from the gods for their sins, in accordance with their extinction myths.

Hopefully one day we can move past the effete guilt trips and symbolic political gestures and rhetoric to a more genuine desire to live in an adaptive balance with nature because of all the positive mental, physical, and environmental benefits that such a lifestyle brings, while at the same time recognizing that climate change and catastrophe have been and always will be the norm.

Humans have always been much better at adapting to changing conditions than they have been at controlling the weather.
