I came across Vorticism first when reading on Italian Futurist artists and their relationship to the rise of fascism. It's kind of this short-lived art movement parallel to that Italian movement which didn't last very long because all of the artists got shipped off to the front lines. Kind of an ironic fate for these people considering they were advocating what we might refer to as proto-accelerationist these days in terms of advocating for taking the processes of industrialization and violence to extremes.

Interestingly, this art style ended up having a sort of wartime use [1] where one of the proponents of the art movement ended up getting a job painting "dazzle camouflage" on the sides of ships in WWI/WWII.

Inaction of what? They're saying they're not the opinion police.

Look at the list in the beginning of the article that has clear criminal violations, human rights violations, the like. They comply with take-downs in that domain, as they should and are legally required.

Yet they go on to mention that the vast majority of the complaints they get has nothing to do with those, rather they are take-down requests for things the reporter considered "offensive".

There's no right to not be offended. Further, the bar for "harm" is so low that it's on the ground. You can't let Twitter rage mobs on either side of politics decide on who gets to use internet infrastructure.

This stance to preserve the freedom of expression, opinion and even the right to insult is not apolitical. It's classic progressive liberalism, one of the pillars of our society.

This sounds like what I wanted to do once I realized how insanely easy remote work was. I do my wife's code for her dev job and it honestly works out to like 2 hours a week for me. She spends maybe 10 hours in meetings, so it totally makes sense to put 3 or 4 front people in positions to handle the meetings and just funnel the work back to me. Sounds like they are doing a bait and switch strategy though. You should just give them a coding test and see if they actually have a senior dev behind these guys. If so, quit pestering the front person who takes your order and be happy with the finished product.

This goes back to OPs point about devaluing the concept of respect.

I'm generally polite to stangers I meet. Not because I respect them (how could I? I don't know them), but because it's morally good to behave decently.

By conflating respect with basic manners/decency, you really devalue what it means to deserve respect and to be respected.
Rule of law and due process are the best way of doing things, and are not exclusively American concepts.

> github has had more than fifty outages this year alone

I'm a heavy user of github every day and maybe 1 or 2 of these caused me any disruption whatsoever. Most of the time I think they created productivity boosts as people just focused on what they were working on instead of reacting to Github notifications about issues or PRs or failing tests or whatever.

> a rocky history of recourselessly banning users from countries that are sanctioned by the United States

This is likely a feature for companies, projects, and organizations who have (or want) to adhere to the same strict regulations.
It's not "strictly" more because you reduce the attack surface of your leaf certs through expiration, etc.

Ah, it is constructions related. I didn't even think about that at all, I assumed construction was pretty much casualty-free at this point.

Good point, thanks for bringing it up. I was legitimately confused how windmills manage to result in operational deaths, with the construction never even entering my mind.
That sounds weird to me. Old game consoles with analog video output didn't generate perfect NTSC or PAL timings (for example, the Megadrive would actually run at 59.92274 Hz in NTSC, and 49.701459 Hz in PAL), but it didn't matter as the CRT TVs had some wiggle room and would synchronize to the video signal. There was no such thing as input and output running at different rates and desynchronizing.
> The truth is that there are things that you can't fix through iteration. Things like having an incorrect data model.

Yes! I spent a year iterating on my prototype for my startup for precisely this reason. The data model kept changing and that had repercussions through every other part of the prototype. Often leading to reworking entire components.

The data model is that the core of everything for my prototype, so it was more than worth the time spent.
Will Life360 ever add an option for consent to share like google's trusted contacts did? E.g. I'd like it if someone could ask for my location and give me 5 minutes to respond, and give me the chance to deny that request (sharing if I don't respond for safety reasons). Feels more respectful compared to the current state of Life360 where you can always see everyone's locations at all times.
A source or explanation of how you came to this conclusion would be nice
Coding whatever first ugly solution you come across is horrible; taking days deciding whether to use pattern A or pattern B for something that probably will change in a few months is horrible too.

Find the balance between thinking of a better way, and the time it takes to coding it.

Personally I've found codebases that could be simplified enormously just by using a different library, which I found just by searching a few minutes before touching it. You and future developers will probably be grateful.
Ahh thank you! You cherry-picked my favorite parts about Payload. So much went into having a proper custom block-based field type. That in specific is something that every single project I build has always needed and this is only the start. We have a lot of ideas that are going to take our blocks field to the next level.
To be clear, I think many developers are comfortable enough with the small handful of commands most regularly use. For the more advanced case of maintaining a fork of a high-velocity codebase like WebKit, it's likely you'll need a deeper understanding of remotes and how to manage complex rebases, especially in the presence of lots of conflicts. And possibly some fancier tools like git-subtree. In particular in WebKit my recollection was it was common to patch something locally and eventually take it upstream, but after upstream's requested modifications the patch would eventually come back around and conflict with itself.
SSO and MDM are minimal competency areas for anyone professionally managing IT.

Without SSO, you have no idea who has access to services. People come and go, contractors do their thing and take off, etc. You need to know they’re gone. On top of it, it’s so trivial to just use Google Workspace as an SSO it’s ridiculous not to use it.

MDM becomes a thing when you’re a little bigger. Anything with customer data should be managed imo.

Some time ago (~6 months) my company was looking to hire a programmer.

We don't have a established process for this as it was some years since we hired a coder, but then we are in the industry (hiring) so published a couple of adverts here and there and we got the thing rolling.

Most of the applicants were seriously under qualified, and my colleagues had to go through a lot of rubbish in the form of CVs in order to find suitable candidates.

But a few of them were good enough to at least make it to the interview step, and off the invitations went.

One of'em candidates - Let's call him "Rajeed" - promptly accepted the meeting, and due to the small amount of people that made it that far - let me remind you, first interview - my colleagues were slightly excited, but at the same time also weary as our experience with coders from India is far from stellar.

You can imagine my colleagues surprise when they opened the Zoom session and Rajeed was nowhere to be found. Instead, there were two person of whom we knew nothing about - apparently they were running some sort of coding shop - and when my colleagues asked for Rajeed they just said "Oh, it's OK, it's OK. You can talk to us."

For obvious reasons the meeting didn't last long.

We ended up hiring a coder from Poland that, even thought he was decent, was miles ahead of the rest of the candidates.
I'm going to assume this is an earnest question.

I enjoy constructive discussion on HN, but the downvoted/dead/flagged posts I see all seem to be short, unsubstantive comments that repeat familiar tropes and beg others to proceed with similarly trite responses. It would seem to fall short of this guideline:

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

And of course people also downvote to disagree. The winds blow certain ways here.
One of the core tenets of OO is encapsulation. ECS rightly treats encapsulation as a bad thing, because data (i.e. entities) should not be encapsulated in the components and systems which operate on them.
I suspect that the concrete will crack if it is just molded to the frame itself. Concrete cracks easily without support.
> V-CHIP and ratings information in broadcasts are required by law.

Ratings and V-chip use aren't enforced by law however. Ratings are intended to help parents decide what to allow their kids to watch, not to make the choice for adults or require adults to prove they are over a certain age to access content. V-chips give parents a tool to help block some things when and if they decide to, but most people never use it.

> Comcast and HBO refuse to sell their services to minors

ISPs don't sell their services to minors either. Adults sign up for services and it's their job to decide what their own children see on those services.

> Brick and mortar stores open to children do not display pornography

They do in the US. Any child can walk into Barnes & Noble and see porn on the shelves for sale, or open a book and read graphic descriptions of any number of sexual and violent acts. At the Barnes & Noble near me, porn is kept closer to the children's books than bibles are. Actually, any kid can walk into the store and open a bible and read descriptions of sexual and violent acts.

Libraries also do not police what content children can access within their walls.

> Providing this material to them is a crime.

Not at all, as shown above.

> Some places in the US did have laws regarding ESRB ratings on video games until SCOTUS recently overturned them. etc.

Another example of an overbroad and dangerous California law designed to "protect the children" and it's a damn good thing it was struck down by the courts. The government has no business policing what media I can see as an adult or in policing what media I can show to my own children.
As someone who receives lots of questions as a core part of my job, often concurrently via multi async comms channels, my biggest challenge is controlling cognitive load so I can be efficient and effective. Having a spot of politeness in the interaction, as the parent suggests, helps me meter the flow of information in my direction. I much prefer it. Horses for courses I guess.
This is a parallel to the "scope/schedule/budget" triangle in project management, or the "good/cheap/available" one in staffing.
> You do realize that at some point you will actually need to go to the company your are interviewing with in person and to provide a lot more personal information than just a blurry mugshot from a Zoom call in order to be able to be employed and collect a salary?

HR these days can be done online -- sign the forms and post a picture of your identification to website that HR controls. 100% remote is a thing these days.
I agree you can learn many lessons about what not to do. The broader point I'm making here is that there's a billion things not to do and a few things you should do. The successful startups will also make mistakes, iterate, and teach you the things not to do but teach you how to figure out what you should be doing. The unsuccessful ones just stubbornly plod forward and you, the employee, just know you guys screwed it up, but have no idea how to find success.

TL;DR YMMV, but it's much more valuable to learn a selection of "winning moves" you can apply than it is to learn a bunch of "losing moves" not to apply.

Given that the EU and US are both seeing around 100,000 new cases daily, no, I don't think the world has moved on.

In the US and Canada (can't speak to other countries), we've collectively agreed to pretend that COVID has just disappeared and return to normalcy because we're tired of dealing with it, but in spite of pretending it's gone away people are still getting sick and dying from this disease every day.

May have billed a specific time span, but also had commits during that span. Dunno how they proved the github account belonged to the contractor though unless they just admitted to it or used the company email to register.
Neither Find My Phone or Life 360 doesn't tell you when someone is in the bathroom vs upstairs. It just gives you information like "at school" or "at a friend's house". Not sure what you are arguing here.

I can't tell if you're missing the point or trolling, but just in case: There's only a limited number of people in the call centre. By overwhelming the queue, you prevent others reaching the service.
Fundamentally, UI is nested. The framework has to reflect this and make UI components composable in a bested way or you’ll drive developers crazy.

What I do wonder about is being able to use a data oriented system that does reflect this neat ability. E.g. if the data in an ECS system is viewed as a simplified relational database, what would happen if we replaced it with a simplified graph database?

As a reporter, Krebs failed to promptly disclose or retract when the source turned out to be the leak. That means my understanding of events was left incomplete for longer than it should have been.

So he wronged Ubiquity, which I don't particularily care for. He also wronged his readers, which I am party to. This late retraction is underwhelming and doesn't give me trust. As he seems to only have retracted after being forced to by Ubiquity, now what do I make of his stories where his targets don't have a legal team in his jurisdiction?
It's much easier to get married, so you'll have the weekly task of going to the store by foot and bring back bagfuls of groceries, and possibly two packs of bottled water... then return there because you forgot two bags of cat's litter:)

More seriously, ages ago I wondered about a way to generate power by making sort of a (very compact) exoskeleton-like contraption for each limb articulation, so walking or using arms would activate some generators. Mechanical construction would be quite a challenge, however if built in a very compact wearable way it could become a thing: sensors for body parameters could self power, the phone in a pocket equipped with a inductive charger would charge while running, etc.
I mostly print topo maps of wilderness areas I'll be backpacking in.

Well I lived in Romania in the 1980s so I feel compelled to respond to this.

Romanian leadership took a lot of loans from the West and spend the money on large industrial projects with Western technology which was either obsolete or becoming obsolete (Dacia-Renault, Olcit-Cytroen, CANDU for the nuclear energy, Rombac-British Aircracft, etc...)

This was a huge bet that did not work - but it was all done by Romanian Leadership. The West did not ask Romania to borrow, Romania asked to borrow. When the bills came due at the end of 1970s Romania asked to roll over their debt. Unfortunately for Romania at the same time US FED (Volcker) was raising the interest rates sharply to combat inflation. So rolling over the debt was very expensive. This was not economic sanctions aimed at Romania - this happened to every borrower that had USD debts (including regular people in the US).

Romania choose to pay the debts and the only way to get USD was to sell resources - because the industrial products were obsolete and nobody in the West wanted to buy. So Romania sold food and whatever oil they still had and whatever steel they still had. For the Romanian people that meant food shortages, heat shortages, electricity shortages...

This was done by Romanian leadership. It was not economic sanctions from the West.
