I've been using MWM and the same .mwmrc since AIX in 1991. Same palette, same decor, same .Xdefaults.

Interesting that they didn't seem to try to conceal their association much at all. They all said they were from this place firmly associated with this group, even though they probably weren't even 'from' there in the typical sense of the word (grown up and raised there).
Counterpoint: the classic "The mote in God's eye", by Jerry Pournelle and David Niven. It's a great story, but the details aged so badly as to make it super difficult to read. Spaceships that run exactly like 18th century British sailing ships, with all the class differences between grunts and officers, and everybody smokes (on a spaceship!), the woman are ornaments etc etc.
This is true for retro video game consoles and early computers that had ~240p displays or output to TVs. But later PC CRTs were pretty crisp and not really that much different from an LCD at native res.

We don't currently have any concept of public profiles open to the internet as a whole, so (at most) we're talking about visibility to recruiters on our platform.

You can get a shareable link to share on e.g. your personal website if you want to, but you have to manually enable it.
The biggest weakness of C++ (and C) is non-localized behavior of bugs due to undefined behavior. Once you have undefined behavior, you can no longer reason about your program in a logically consistent way. A language like Python or Java has no undefined behavior so for example if you have an integer overflow, you can debug knowing that only data touched by that integer overflow is affected by the bug whereas in C++ your entire program is now potentially meaningless.
To be fair wechat does a bit more than Facebook, like storing transportation cards, credit cards, as well as making payments and ordering food. Not saying that wechat is unamerican, nor do i think the parent comment is saying that. I will say though, the consumer markets are really really different. A lot more Chinese people use cells phones for more things (especially in the cities), in fact i'm pretty sure laptop ownership rates are pretty low compared to smartphones.

But yeah I think he'll probably just turn it into another facebook, or at least it'll start there. Not really groundbreaking, if anything, facebook has become so bloated that the new features might even harming it. Just the other day I had to help my mom find the groups feature hidden in some menu or another on the app.
How long has this been a thing, and (more worryingly) how have I never heard about it until now? Is this common knowledge?
> When a company can loose money on a competiting company just to drive the competing company out of business; I call that a monopoly.

But this may happen even on a highly competitive market, if one company is a large established one (say, controlling 10% of the market), and the other is a small startup. Just make the key differentiating feature which the new competitor is bringing free in your established product for some time. Implement it first, if needed.

I'm not talking about the reactionary - classical liberalism culture war, if that's what you mean. I'm talking about the one described in my comment.
I ended up getting a job through Triplebyte late last year. My current employer reached out to me through the platform, and was interested in interviewing me. I had never heard of my current employer prior to that.

So it helped me in introducing me to companies I wasn't previously familiar with, but other job platforms work in similar manner.

I get the impression that Triplebyte has changed from what it used to be. I never even talked with anyone at Triplebyte. I did well enough on some skill test that I was put on a fast track and quickly approved without any interviews. I also got opportunities to take other tests to rate my skills in particular areas.

It seemed like a decent place for presenting possible candidates to employers with some pre-screening, but it wasn't anything particularly innovative. I imagine that as an employer, it helps filter out a lot of unskilled candidates with pretty resumes and reduces the number of interviews required.
Of course there are, but it seems obvious to me that greater LGBTQ+ acceptance recently has led to people being more open with that side of themselves, rather than it being the result of environmental pollution.

Anyway, the alarm is very selective. I don't see people rapidly reducing their animal product consumption because of dioxin, a potent endocrine disruptor that is bioaccumulating. Atrazine is still used in most US corn production, are all the people concerned about plastic avoiding non-organic corn and corn products?
So, like Tesla and SpaceX.

“(Motivated) bad actors” are a different problem to drive by bot spammers.

While I agree with all the people saying “this’ll block real people at significant rates”, for some things (like personal blog replies or small forums) that can be a perfectly sensible trade off for some sites.

Sure, if you are Netflix, or a government department website that people need to use, it’s a terrible idea.

For somebody who’s sick of deleting spam replies on their personal blog posts? Simple rules with known and acceptable unintended consequences might be a really good idea.
Got a screenie?
Background on me: I am French, I've been living in the Bay Area for the past 14 years, a 2-year old and another on the way, we are recent home owners and grandma lives and helps us every day.

California is expensive. The Bay Area where you'd find high paying jobs is even more expensive. Rent is expensive, home ownership is nearly inaccessible, cost of daycare and healthcare is high, great schools are expensive and taxes are high.

I didn't do the exact math but to give you a ballpark, for us to live well, eat well, save for the future and travel (ski trips or visit family in France), we'd need to earn a combined yearly salary of over $300,000. I think for a household with 2 parents working as SWE it's doable.

That said, based on seniority, your household could probably reach over $200,000 working from Bavaria.

I frequently think about going back but our decision is mostly a factor of the kids growing up around family, in an environment that's empowering them and with great weather. Rain and green pasture sure is pretty but I prefer the sun.
There's a continual onboarding process in iOS, the Tips app, which I think tries to tell you details when it sees you doing the basics of some feature.

Does such message stop being true depending on who said it?
There are laws about advertising healthcare products/drugs/medical devices, and I dont think this browser extension falls under either of those categories. Of course there are plenty other categories that have their own advertisement laws, but i cannot think of any that could reasonably apply here as the closest approximation of "remedy for a medical condition". Just like f.lux or dark mode aren't healthcare products either.
hmm... I thought nepotism generally referred to family members, but the definition includes friends.

I always thought getting jobs through friends was a decent vetted matchmaking process. That said, I've never had a lot of direct power to get friends hired, so I never felt it was nepotism. And the friends were usually from previous jobs.
They also removed dates from many videos so that you can't always tell how relevant or topical a video is, and now when you're free browsing they will typically recommend similar videos from smaller channels to you in the list 3rd from the top.

So far I haven't clicked any of those links but I suppose it's beneficial to get new channels, but at the same time I've already been suggested at least 2 channels that espouse right wing hate rhetoric so either my view history doesn't know my preferences or there's a lot of money to be made from those videos for Youtube and they're trying to wring every penny they can out of me.
Move to Cali, put your kids in a German language immersion school, make and save as much as possible for 3 years, then move back to Germany.
That Pipe Is Still Leaking: Revisiting the RDP Named Pipe Vulnerability
I grew up in Germany and worked there for eight years, now I'm in California for 15 years. Now that I had children, I'm contemplating moving back, possibly to Zurich, which would allow me to maintain a comparable level of income.

The main thing that's holding me back is the support my wife's parents who live close by are giving us. Without them, navigating the daycare landscape is difficult and extremely expensive. So that would be a huge plus for Germany in your case. In terms of career, California has the obvious advantage, although that advantage is not as strong in Sacramento and San Diego as it would be in the SF Bay Area.

So it all depends on what you value and what your gut feeling says. How do you like Amsterdam?

Another thing to consider: If you have two options and both have strong pros so that it's difficult to decide between them, then either choice will be fine.
Okay, I don't think everyone sees that one, but maybe it's only me who doesn't see it and everyone else does.
> but it means that different releases of the same product aren't really different stories, from an HN discussion perspective

Sorry Dang - I would have to point to you that YC companies term their releases as 'launch day' or 'launch week' with YC W/Sxx badge in the title get preferential treatment and are allowed to be discussed multiple times over year - why is that ? I dont want to name names here.
Yeah, that would work, throw it before the Where clause and change 49. Range here doesn't specify a stopping point, but a count of generated values (this makes it not quite the same as Python's range). So you'd want:

Enumerable.Range(0,13).Select(x => 4 * x + 1).Where((e, i) => i % 3 == 0).Skip(2)

And that's equivalent to the original, short of writing a MyRange that combines the first Range and Select. Still an awful lot of work for generating 3 numbers.

Don't catch errors without a reason
Interesting. At first I thought this was a pedantic distinction but now I'm getting it:

Cliques are exclusive and dispassionate - your will keeps you in a clique. Cults are inclusive and coercive, their will keeps you in the cult.

Are there any books one can read about this distinction? Seems like you could arrive at some pretty interesting conclusions if you talk this out.
What's the point of antibody testing these days, since everyone who's been vaccinated will test positive, and basically everyone's been forced to get the vaccine by now?
Exactly. Suppose a piece of software remains around for another year with probability p, and for the sake of this example, that p is constant.

Then if the software has been around for one year, the expected value of p is 50%. But if the software has been around for ten years, the expected value of p jumps to 0.5^(1/10) ≈ 93.3%.

In this way, if a piece of software has been around for longer, then it has a greater chance of sticking around. In fact, the expected number of years it has left is indeed equal to the number of years it has already been around, as stated in the article.

In practice this mechanism is more complicated, as all software is influenced by a changing environment, but this same idea is still at the core.

Your comment reminds me of the excellent series "Connections" by James Burke. The opening episode in the series asks that exact question.

From what I can see, those allegations were from the 90s, but still nothing seems to have been substantiated. I'm not saying I condone this cult, but I don't see how it was having any effect on his work. It didn't become a problem until he himself complained to another manager.

I mean: if you're going to get worked up about cults, why the fuck are we all watching Top Gun? Shouldn't we be protesting or something? Scientology is a lot worse than this lot.
> We are further challenged by app store rules designed to keep out Gecko, our independent browser engine that powers Firefox, Tor and other browsers.

Ironically, getting rid of Apple’s browser restrictions will likely result in website developers writing their sites just for Chrome.

With Chrome now available on every platform, it will be cheaper and easier to only support that one browser.
It can complete many multiplications in that time, especially if you factor in parallelism. An 8-core machine using AVX-512 could do a few thousand 32-bit multiplications in that time. Your GPU can do tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands depending on the model.
Because there isn’t really a good way to package liquids besides plastic. Glass would work but it’s bulky and brittle. Paper and aluminum work but they cost the inside with plastic anyways. This might be the extremely rare thing where it makes sense for consumers to do at our level.

Silvervine is Japanese, so that's already listed; you probably tried either Tartarian honeysuckle or valerian. Immunity to all of them is pretty unusual, but it's also worth noting that responses can be variable, and each one should be tested a few times spread out. (It seems like stress or uncertainty can help shut down responses. Cats are very cagey about showing inner state.)
For reference, the term "Culture War" has been in use since the 1920's in the US.

A modern religious ethnographer would distinguish between NRMs (new religious movements) and the minority thereof that are actually criminal, coercive, etc., as the term "cult" has come to imply. That said, NRMs aren't always free of toxicity. Pyramid schemes and actual cults often target them, exploiting a high-trust network of people considered to be gullible.

The typical corporate "cult"--I don't think Google is any more or less toxic than any other company at this point, and the true cult is capitalism itself, not a specific company--is somewhere between NRMs and actual cults in terms of virulence. Companies have displaced communities in modern life and yet they frequently un-person people for economic or petty political reasons. That said, executives usually prefer to keep their child sex abuse and their economic exploitation in different buildings--and, if Epstein is any indicator, on different landmasses--so, there's that, at least.

The blog post you are writing comments about is literally about working to get the law changed.

Courts apply the existing law. The existing law puts very few constraints on big companies using their power. That is exactly why Mozilla is urging Congress to change the law.
But there's been an unnatural rise in instances of alleged gender dysphoria. I have no idea about any of the facts surrounding this issue, just wanted to point out that some X simply existing prior to a point in time when something else Y was introduced to the environment does not mean that Y cannot have any effect on the rate of instance of X.

Edit: I don't mean unnatural in a bad way. I mean it like something has caused the previous rate to change in a noticeable way that warrants studying. s/unnatural/noticeable
I'm not sure what "recent license changes" you are referring to?

The Timescale License was introduced in late 2018, although we never _relicensed_ any of our Apache 2 code, we only created a space for _new_ capabilities to be developed under these terms.

There were a few changes to the license in Sept 2020, but those only liberalized a few clauses (including from feedback we received from the Hacker News community, including the "right to repair" and "right to improve"). At the time, we also moved any remaining "enterprise" features from an Enterprise/Paid license into the TSL/Community/Free license.

https://www.timescale.com/blog/building-open-source-business...

We haven't changed anything since, nor have we ever moved any Apache-2 code into the TSL.

Safari on mobile has lagged behind standards for a long time, because doing so wouldn't strengthen their app business.

E.g. webrtc. Safari still lags behind many things.

When you call people to be careful, you are missing the conflict apple has internally. Between the two, i choose chrome any day of the week because that's what allowed web to progress this fast
That's fair (RE: setting/sessions). The method I proposed relies on consistency everywhere else (defining that to something), and assumes Sway if not :P

It looks like this (on Fedora) is generally dealt with by the 'sway-systemd' package.

That provides a drop-in config (/etc/sway/config.d/10-systemd-session.conf) that runs a script and prepares the environment for you (including this variable)

$ dnf whatprovides /etc/sway/config.d/10-systemd-session.conf
[...]
sway-systemd-0.2.2-1.fc36.noarch : Systemd integration for Sway session
Repo : @System
Matched from:
Filename : /etc/sway/config.d/10-systemd-session.conf

It's rather similar to the openSUSE approach you shared, but seemingly a little more robust:
https://github.com/alebastr/sway-systemd/blob/main/src/sessi...

As long as you do this in your Sway config, it should be fine:

include /etc/sway/config.d/*

I forgot about that adventure until now -- with something like this, you don't need either 'manual declaration' approach really

I initially missed it moving to Sway because I literally copied my i3 config and only changed it slightly
Famously France, the topic of the article!

Unions are powerful and perennially on strike: unsustainable retirement benefits (the topic of the last major strike), income, etc. The income of an unskilled transportation worker is similar to, or even better than, that of a scientist (see CNRS salaries online); the benefits are significant too.
Sure. I'm not suggesting the term originated a decade ago, but when people say "the culture war" colloquially today they are typically referring to the ongoing debate over topics like racism, sexism, wealth inequality, and "cancel culture" that has been ongoing on twitter, in the media, and in companies etc.
> the actual article in the link claims he gained a speedup by pulling things out of pandas, which is written in C, and using normal Python list operations.

Well, he claims he did three things:

(1) avoid repeating a shared step every time the aggregate function was called,

(2) unspecified algorithmic optimizations.

(3) use Python lists instead of pandas dataframes.

(1) is a win that doesn't have anything to do with pandas vs python list ops, (2) is just skipped over any detail but appears to be the meat of the change. Visually, it looks like most of the things the pandas code tries to do just aren't done in the revised code (it's hard to tell because some is hidden behind a function whose purpose and implementation are not provided). It's not at all clear that the move out of pandas was necessary or particularly relevant.
I’m the CEO of Triplebyte. I just looked into this, and we are not automatically making anyone's profile public without their consent. OP, it looks like you had set your profile to be visible some time ago (I can provide details via email but won’t here for privacy purposes), and just hadn’t gotten a message until now. The support response you received was incorrect; you weren’t affected by any recent changes to the site.

Since there wasn’t anything broken on our end, there shouldn’t be anyone else impacted by this. But as part of making sure that OP wasn’t visible by mistake, I had my team double-checked to make sure our previous fix from last year was properly retroactive. It was.

More generally, I don't think that tricking anyone is a viable way for us to run a business. We’re trying to create a marketplace that can open opportunities for engineers who wouldn’t otherwise have them, and we need the trust of engineers in order to do that.
That isn't really what these regulations would do though; if that is the goal then an inspection program would achieve them more effectively and with better outcomes.

All pre-start paperwork does is filter out people who are diligent at paperwork, because they have to do a lot more to get to the starting line.
You've obviously been burned by null pointers (probably not just once). And you think they are a problem, and you're right. And you think they are a mistake, and you could be right about that, too.

But they're not the only problem. Writing async network servers can be a problem, too. Go helps a lot with that problem. If for your situation it helps more with that than it hurts with nulls, then it can be a rational choice.

And, don't assume that go must be a bad choice for all programmers, in all situations. It's not.
