> I've found that Eastern European developers generally believe they are the best (even when they aren't).

A few years ago, I worked with a developer from Eastern Europe who told me he believed the developers in the European part of the company were better than those in the US part of the company.

I found this to be a bizarre statement (and not true) and I don't even know why anyone would think in those terms.

I don't know if that fits into what you're talking about, but is it really an Eastern Europe thing to think you're the best? I've seen it a few times, I don't know where it comes from, and I don't want to stereotype based on confirmation bias.
We had lots of convenient user interfaces on the web without JS.

"The most simple things" absolutely do not require it. Simple things can be done in pure HTML. That's what the web has always fundamentally been about.

You should TRY building a site without JS. Just try it! You'll be amazed.

Seeing the world objectively accurately doesn't imply that you should be depressed. Whatever values and emotions you've then applied to that perception after the fact is subjective.

I think people (like me) react because they feel it is dismissive of the harm done to non-POC people.

It is not "problematic because minorities are a subset of men".

It already was problematic for hurting men.
Your statement implies that it would not be a problem if it were just non POC being hurt.

To take a hyperbolic example, If someone shoots up a school, we don't say it is bad because there were children of color in it. It is bad whomever is hurt. It might also hurt POC, and it might especially hurt POC, but it was always bad.
This is quote from wikipedia:

Robin Cook, British Foreign Secretary from 1997 to 2001, has written that al-Qaeda and bin Laden were "a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies", and that "Al-Qaida, literally 'the database', was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians."

So basically US sponsored 9/11. Is there any moral grounds to blame Saudi Arabia?

Tech people talk about the tech they killed, but that isn't related to game developers' incentives - especially considering nearly all the tech they killed was free and they don't have a history of rolling on actual customers.

The actual problem for game developers was that the architecture was home-grown (Vulkan-only), with little tooling, annoying licensure requirements, and not enough profit incentive to dedicate the effort. Companies have no (financial) problem releasing for GOG, which has fewer users than Stadia, because you barely have to take any effort to do so, but porting to Stadia took the effort of porting to Xbox. This both counted as a direct incentive not to port to Stadia, as well as the writing on the wall for how well-managed this product would be.
If there were biases, then the pattern of permeability would be predictable. For instance, encrypted data is not random, but it's not predictable.
Ask HN: Rate your current Project Mngmt tool
Some of the PM tools we used started to be very simple and easy to use, but their UX and features got complicated eventually.

How happy are you with your current PM tool? What are the pain points it's not currently addressing?

We are starting a new project with 30 developers to work on, and we will decide on which PM tool we should use. Your feedback is highly appreciated.

After skimming the original paper[1] there are some things that I expected, but found missing. Further study (as one does here before posting) finds that there is a new term used to describe surprise, one of the basic states that we are very aware of, and very important to learning.

In the section describing Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA), "prediction error in representation space" appears to me, at least, to match up with surprise.

I think most early childhood learning is about avoiding surprise, and thus coalescing and then fine-tuning models of the world.

The one thing I'd add to his model is the feedback we all have in sensing our energy levels, becoming tired, etc. I think even in a completely artificial environment it might be helpful for an intelligence to be able to gage how much effort is required in thinking, and moving, etc.

They all play tricks. Google does flat rate ELAs, so customer retention and recurring spend is something to look for information on. Microsoft does alot of SaaS bundling and uses the EAs to drive revenue. (Buy an azure gift card vs. true up of whatever)

At some point it becomes like a “no true Scotsman” argument. They’re all big, and all use their niche to drive spend. IMO HN commentators comparing GCP to Stadia are missing the boat. Likewise, MS will figure out how to monetize the bazillion O365 users with Azure.

And his public behavior has been equally worrisome. According to dozens of witnesses, Stallman actively sexually harassed women students and faculty at MIT, for 30 or more years. To the point that women have passed down RMS-specific avoidance tactics like he hates plants so faculty should fill their offices with them or “If RMS hits on you, just say ‘I’m a vi user’ even if it’s not true.”

It had allegedly reached the point that he was asked so many times to stop asking out colleagues and students that he decided to create and hand out a business card to non-verbally harass.

Georgia Lyle, who worked at FSF from 2015 to 2018, wrote a long Twitter thread about the exhaustive — and ultimately moot — efforts she and other FSF staff made trying to change Stallman’s toxic behavior and silence his “racist and sexist ‘hacker humor’.”

I don't think I can improve upon that.

There were games preparing to launch on November 1st.

Those should never have been approved, if the thing was shutting down. In those cases, it's normal to stop making approvals for new games, for anything expected to finish within six months of your termination date. You don't necessarily need to make an announcement yet, but you shouldn't have anyone expecting a launch when the service is dead or dying.

My whole career has been built around what you say you’re good at and I love it. I see debugging and optimising as puzzles. I started in test automation and performance engineering and went through sre and now platform engineering

Very cool! For years I've wanted to fork LiveScript and integrate it with the TS checker somehow (and remove `on/off/yes/no`, good call), sort of an F# to TypeScript's C#
Bootstrapping identity without an existing identifier to base it on is a difficult problem.

On one hand, it is a barrier to entry. On the other hand, without some barrier, you can be subjected to spam.

One option to deal with it is Web of Trust, with users who have been vouched by the operator being able to vouch other users, and so on.

So, if I forgot my "password" (private key), I can log in with a new key, and say, "my name is Joe, please verify me", and confirm it via out-of-band with another human.

If you have access to at least one device with a valid key, you can vouch the new key with an existing one.

And if any improper vouching is detected, you can trim the vouch tree at the problem node with all downward nodes also becoming disallowed.

This is basically the (PGP-based) account system I've built in sHiTMyseLf.
What would happen is those engineers would rightly be concerned that their leadership had lost their marbles, and would quickly find new jobs elsewhere. These kinds of “fun” thought experiments don’t pan out in the real world.

I vaguely remember Solaris had a way to prioritise focused X Window application (IA) while keeping it within time-sharing (TS) scheduling class.

Kernel thread for interactive applications in focused window would then have higher priority than background applications improving responsiveness. I am not sure what manipulated the priority, but I assume Xsun (X Window server) did it.

> If Russia dropped a tactical nuke, the U.S. would have to retaliate with one as well to make it clear that we are willing to.

No, it wouldn’t. A substantial NATO conventional response would be more sensible.
So it goes. RMS represents his time: a great observation of the vital importance of software in the interplay of freedom and authority. I’m of the mind that nothing should be respected beyond its meaning, and so if RMS is no longer a great conveyor of the mission then it’s best to respect him for what he provided in his time and move on. But if he still has a role — which is the debate here — let him play it. It’s not so hard. We can operate without him without disrespecting him.
Even if they don't use Azure AD as their primary SSO you can often federate indirectly via Azure. For many large corporations, an auth against Azure redirects to Microsoft, then to whatever enterprise SAML2 service they're running, then back to Microsoft to pick up an OIDC token or SAML transformation, then back to your app. Instead of supporting however many SAML 2 providers with custom claim mappings you get Azure's reasonably straightforward token. You can also pick up Azure group membership (which many companies maintain or sync from on-prem AD) which is nice for mapping application roles.

I think tacticals will work surprisingly well, just the opposite of using tanks without air support.

The world maybe horrified at seeing a couple nukes blowing in the middle of a field, but tactics could end using very effectively a bomb that can clean a couple of square km. in one sweep. The low-yield thing just add an icing to the cake; you can swifly move ahead your own army almost just after the nuke has went off, without waiting for a deadly fallout ends in a couple of days.

And think about this: the enemy has no nukes and there's no way to stop the nukes. The battlefield has not seen this kind of radical strategic advantage since the invention of the tank.
I tried installation on Windows 10 via Rancher-Desktop using "other platform" docs but ran into issues with dependencies on sh/bash. Are there any windows specific instructions?
In that mode you can make it much more strict, such that it loads no js at all by default, and/or loads only first party scripts by default.

I think out of the box with the default blacklist mode very few things are broken, but the trade-off there is that you're running way more code. I do imagine the default list would block this specific nonsense from tiktok, although I haven't verified that assumption.

I block all scripts initially with ubo and slowly allow what I need to make a site function (or just close tab on sites I deem unworthy of the effort). This is certainly more than you could expect from a normal user.
> a haploid genome (gamete) cannot fully represent the genome of a diploid human

Correct; my broader point was that when most people refer to a "human genome" it is ambiguous whether they mean diploid or haploid unless specified. Metrics like "3 billion base pairs" etc. actually describe the haploid human genome.

> If you're looking for genetic disorders, these will often be the result of recessive traits, right? So having only half of the chromosome sets is not indicative.

Often, but not always; there are myriad autosomal dominant disorders, as well as sex-linked disorders which require only a single mutant allele on X

Here I think both with STR and SNP profiling you are equally at risk (i.e., saliva is not more risky)

You having fun/ being able to develop fast isn't your customer's problem/ the problem's of people actually using the things you build. Windows Vista devs with 8GB of DDR2 when real world customers had 512mb of DDR learned this lesson hard.

EDIT: Also - client side native software and web dev are insanely different. Web/ serverside people seem to disregard this. Constantly.

> And tbh if enough people go off grid I expect the state to enact a "grid tax" that every homeowner has to pay, regardless of if they're connected, because otherwise electricity costs for on grid users would skyrocket as fixed costs are spread between fewer users.

Electricity in CA is already 3x the rate of rural Wyoming or Arkansas or what have you. Why exactly are their fixed costs so high, and why is it the responsibility of individuals capable of generating power more efficiently to subsidize that ineptitude?
Mac OS absolutely freezes too. It happened to me just a few days ago and I had to hard reboot.
Canada made no special deal with “the devil” and the article you showed in no way demonstrates that.

All those secret polices offices in canada were visited by journalists and nobody was there. If China is sending spy, it’s definitely not under the agreement or through a special deal with the Canadian government.

You are imagining a lot of things.
You might also consider appsmith. We found it had a few more options.

These are core services. Google is trusted for their core services. Everything else faces an uphill battle for coming from Google.

This covers the Epstein comment drama, but what about the actual sexual harassment allegations?
Yes, google plans projects, spins them up spending millions or billions in dev costs over multiple years, then executes the final phase of the plan and kills them. All so their hypothetical attorneys can make a hypothetical point in a hypothetical court case.

Really???
That might be okay, say you enable all for 10 - 20 seconds, such that all traces are sampled, logs logged, etc, and then it ramps down.
I read through the linked email thread discussing the need for a C++ AST in emacs, and I have to say I was stunned by the arrogance, rudeness, and completely ignorance of RMS. When faced with clear, specific evidence that he was out of his depth and confused, he doubled down and literally said he would no longer discuss the issue because the other parties were "trying to pressure him instead of convince him". This is IMO embarrassing and unprofessional behavior for an adult. Most engineering managers or architects in most jobs would be reprimanded or fired for behaving that way. I would never consider interacting with GNU in a professional capacity after reading those emails, so I agree with the conclusion that RMS should step down.

> How do you get rid of nuclear weapons entirely?

One step at a time. Start by reducing numbers radically. There's no reason for countries like the US, Russia, and China to have such large arsenals.
Issue with RPC was that network calls were masked like they were ordinary calls. But they're not ordinary calls, they might take a long time to respond, they might fail because of network issues, you could send request and then fail to receive response. Those kinds of situations are not common with ordinary calls, so it creates some kind of impedance mismatch.

For example it's not possible to call JS function, it'll work and they it'll fail to return a result for some reason. Worst thing that could happen is stack overflow but it won't let you call this function.

I think that RPC is fine as long as it's clearly separated and those who read and write code do not mask it behind ordinary innocent looking calls. It's OK to call personApi.getFullName(person.fistName, person.lastName). It's not OK to call person.getFullName().

How have you found it starting as a co-founder and now having to report to others?

For me personally, I don't think I'd have grown as graciously as you seem to have articulated that you have. I'd like to ha e retained a strong semblance of direction and control in the company as a co-founder.

OTOH I already have the Android version on my phone and that has always worked just fine.

Bloomberg used to be better. This is basically a non-story. The 'secret plan' was to use the nefarious mechanism of... Buying access that was for sale. All the allusions to shadyhandedness are just there to justify the existence of a story about Palantir because the author knew a story about a controversial company would propagate better even if it was devoid of anything meaningful to say.

The opening paragraph sets you up for some revelation in the shape of crab usually being imitation crab. Instead it's just that Americans say lox when they mean smoked salmon and don't like the thing that 'lox' means in other countries. I don't think this is particularly revelatory - there's a dozen of these, like peperoncinis.
It's probably provincially regulated
Not really. In Java you can do all kinds of things with immutable wrappers, but the language doesn't help you and it doesn't come for free for your own types.

In C++ you can write a class with some methods that mutate, and some const methods that can't mutate anything, and you can pass around const references through which mutation is guaranteed to be impossible. This all comes for free.
There has been talk of an EU version of Palantir for a while now. Anyone know what the latest news is? Technically it doesnt look like there is anything too complex about what Foundary does.
Right there with you buddy. I spent so much time on the dopamine trip of watching people do cool things a good chunk of my life passed by getting nothing done myself.

I bought it, heavily discounted, after having sold my ps4 and wanting something to play very infrequently. The service was spotty despite having gigabit fiber and mesh wifi in my house. As an infrequent gamer, I'm likely the worst possible customer archetype for google.
This doesn't rebut any of those allegations, and in fact adds new ones, like the time Stallman threatened to commit suicide if a woman refused to date him.
