First, I appreciate your response. I actual have had similar experiences in terms of doing what I was told and being slapped down by a SVP in a different department due to being an "upstart". So, I fully appreciate where you are coming from and have experience.

That said,

1. Business is cut throat. It's helpful for people in business to be cut throat, it helps them to survive and move up the org structure. They also get budgets and climb the ladder through increasing headcount below them.

2. This SVP didn't have you reporting to them, it sounds like you were putting their role at risk. It appears you didn't coordinate PR campaigns and didn't get approval for every statement (how else were your posts flagged, if you didn't post without prior approval). It could be a lack of policy which created these issues, but IMO I can see why the SVP responded the way they did. You can call it bullying if you'd like, but that's life and the way it works.

3. Even with point 1 and 2, something seems off. No one thought it was weird your posts were being flagged? No one backed you up? This new SVP just moved in and removed you with no comment? Why? People don't act hostile for no reason. Did the SVP just view you as a threat? Seems like something is missing.

Finally, I definitely would have personally handled it by just speaking with you or working through it. I've worked a lot with public relations teams and never would have thought they'd lash out at their public face (seems like a bad policy...).
Yeah, there's really no way I'm going back to a cable tv style ad hellscape. Before subscription streaming services I bought a lot of physical media so I might go back to that or the digital equivalent.
Is that... do you have a reference for that? (Not challenging, just seeking more knowledge.)
It doesn't offer anything to anybody

quotes "[T]he evidence in the standard history of Qwerty versus Dvorak is flawed and incomplete. [..] The most dramatic claims are traceable to Dvorak himself; and the best-documented experiments, as well as recent ergonomic studies, suggest little or no advantage for the Dvorak keyboard.
> Not necessarily. Please see my other top-level comment in this thread.

You missed the glaring modifier UNECESSARY.

> Anarchy has a lot of definitions and sub types. Anarchy as complete lack of structure is always used to attack and denigrate it by its opponents,

You are the one who is taking “hierarchy and domination” to be synonyms for “structure”. Indeed: that anarchy is without structure or order has been a way to denigrate it since basically forever.
Mainstream is mmorpg, it’s inevitable
Besides the cherry-picked colors of green from the top of the screen, the author assumes turning up the screen brightness reduces contrast in the same way that applying a brightness filter in photoshop does. That’s obviously not true - a given colorspace has less dynamic range if you make everything brighter in photoshop, but turning up your screen backlight brightness makes everything brighter by a constant factor, which doesn’t change the dynamic range.
Huh. This isn't... a terrible idea? Hell, if the drivers work fine on Linux/macOS, they might even manage to sell a few of these.

My issue with these new "docking stations" is that they're extremely expensive and don't really do anything. This is a creative (albeit weird) solution to both of those issues. Not sure if I buy into the video conferencing use case though.
Fleet does not use Compose, but it does use Skiko[1], which also provides binding for Skia[2] (the native graphics library also used by Chrome & Flutter).

The main difference between the libraries is that Skija provides Java/JVM bindings for Skia, whereas Skiko provides Kotlin bindings for Kotlin/JVM, Kotlin/JS, and Kotlin/Native targets. Of course Skiko's Kotlin/JVM bindings can be used with other JVM languages, not just with Kotlin.

One of the things commenters on this video seem to be missing is they actually did user testing. In the 80s and 90s, Sun and Apple (and Information Appliance, obviously) funded teams of UI researchers to collect hard data on how humans interact with computers. Seems these days you just have some random product manager saying "meh. this looks cool. let's do it that way."
As shown in the image, the blue at least passes the test for "large text"
Any reason you wouldn't use a seedbox? I'm strongly considering one since streaming service Balkanization started, and price increases are only making it more tempting. All I have to do is cancel one service to justify it, after all.
I think the life support is for legal CYA and the nuclear stuff is because of laws regarding export for such purposes.
The FBI is more or less a legalized criminal organization that is funded by U.S. taxpayers, but is unelected and unaccountable to them. This article is from 2013, but I haven’t seen anything to suggest that this behavior has changed:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/08/04/fbi-in...

The important part to consider:

> The FBI gave its informants permission to break the law at least 5,658 times in a single year, according to newly disclosed documents that show just how often the nation's top law enforcement agency enlists criminals to help it battle crime.

I know this is talking specifically about informants, and you could make a case that that is necessary, but what reason is there to believe that this doesn’t extend to members of the FBI as well?

Here is a more recent article about this:

Good ideas, and ideas that I support 100%, but in practice it seems to be impossible. IIRC we still haven't gotten a full audit of the Pentagon / DOD, and a majority of their operations are probably a bit more public than the NSA's or other secretive-by-design bureaucracy.

How would we be able to audit an organization (in a timely manner) that puts up as many roadblocks as possible?

The Fed needs to be audited, too. As well as their staff, starting at the very top.

It seems in the government, secrecy and corruption is the name of the game. That's unacceptable and needs to end. The US taxpayer should demand full transparency of all organizations including intelligence services, and the agencies in question should have no choice but to fully comply except in genuine, individual cases of legitimate national security, which would be assessed by an independent reviewer.
I recently stumbled upon RSD Academy (previously on HN [0]), a free course in electronics, on YouTube [1].

I've really enjoyed the video lectures, and recently learned he has a hand-crafted online textbook and course series to accompany them [2]. The course site looks a bit dated, but the content is excellent. If you're new to electronics I can't recommend his work enough.

Unfortunately, the course creator has lost access all of his Google-associated accounts - including his YouTube account and multiple domains - after Google deactivated his account after it detected "harmful content".

He hasn't been able to reach Google for 4 months. His story is hardly unique, but I'm sharing his story because his course content is probably relevant to many HN readers.

He's already lost at least one of his YouTube channels, but thankfully the RSD Academy channel is still untouched. However he cannot access this channel to upload more videos, respond to comments, or (presumably) access funds from channel members.

For me, what would really help in my typing is to improve my accuracy as my most used key is the backspace key. Beside more practice, any hints?
I wonder- would an observer in the Alpha Centauri system be able to pick up the accelerating laser with a telescope? That would be a pretty powerful and tightly directed beam. If an observer did, they would have a few years advance warning and know the exact trajectory of the probe.
Ah, but the public can't know what they're doing! National security, of course. Just trust them.
This brings back fond memories of a house party we threw in college where we got a bunch of gear and put speakers all throughout the house. So CD 1 might be playing through a speaker in the basement and BR1, CD2 playing in living room and BR1, etc. Made for a really cool effect where different rooms had very different feels, and certain places in the house where you could get the full mix.
Ideally, that would qualify for action from FTC or whatever government agency is responsible for businesses advertising one thing and selling another.

What were you using? Nzb / sonarr / radarr / Plex is quite an amazing setup. Very low maint.
'The authors supposed that the positive general evaluation of women might derive from the association between women and nurturing characteristics. This bias has been cited as an example of benevolent sexism.'

How is that any less "problematic" than inverting the above to say that
' men are uncaring or mean'?

Casting all men as uncaring can't possibly be viewed as a good thing.
> Are you a Grandmaster if you won all your matches starting with a material advantage?

The irony of saying this while advocating a practice that gives material advantage on the basis of race...

I don't think people are irked by affirmative action on the basis of family income. It's policies that privilege someone of one race over another even with equal income, parental education, etc. that people are opposing. We're not giving chess pieces back to people with limited opportunity, we're giving extra pieces based on race.
There are no data pathways for aggregating that data. It just gets used by apps.
Fleet, like the other JetBrains IDEs is indeed running on the JVM.

It also has some components in Rust and a special GUI framework.

There is a great series of blog posts about its architecture and design here with a lot of details:

for comparison, the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor was "estimated ... to be equivalent to the blast yield of 400–500 kilotons of TNT"

And it caused broken windows, other damage, over 1000 injuries.

This would be 10x larger?

To be fair, if that meteor had hit over a big city, it would have caused much more damage. More probable if it had hit over open ocean, it would have done very little.

Thanks for sharing, are people still programming robots in Forth nowadays?
Most of these designs are an inevitability. Every Sci fi universe has some kind of Metaverse experience - all pointing generally in the same direction as they try to answer, "what would people do in a world with no limits?"
There is so much skepticism in the community about this tech. Is it because there is genuinely no compelling use cases or is it because of the current implementation?
You mean, what percentage of users will pay for using a website advertised as "The Free Encyclopedia", written by unpaid volunteers?

Just saying. If the WMF were working flat out on serving the volunteer community it would be a different matter. But it's taken on a life of its own, with Wikipedia as its cash cow.
> But did they win the smartphone war?

Having 70% of the profits in the phone market, with Samsung being a distance second and the rest of the manufacturers scraping by, I would say yes.

> The question behind the question is can a closed ecosystem survive?

You realize that Macs have survived along side Microsoft based PCs for 40 years? For 26 of those years (1984 -2006 and 2020- present) even using a different processor?

> Will the open competitor replace it over time? The closed ecosystem company always has to invest more money because it's not shared between multiple other companies.

You realize that Apple has more money than all of the other “multiple companies” combined? Who has the money to invest in processor research and manufacturing (Apple invest billions in TSMC for its manufacturing capacity).

Apple has been ahead processor wise in mobile for over decade and now is ahead in personal computers.
If the web will go "underground", then i REALLY want to make use of simpler technology to avoid any crap that exists today (like, pinging out to privacy killers, etc.)...immediately i thought of the tactics that the folks use (relatively speaking of course) to broadcast their signals in the Matrix movies!
The discussion is on the socially constructed nature of race. My comments directly address this with specific examples. Your final response is nothing more than "no, you are wrong". Not sure what I was expecting on a public forum, as this topic is sensitive and brings out a lot of deep seated irrationality, gaslighting, and binary thinking in people.
This is really nice, but how do I get back to a suggestion I liked but clicked away from?
I think we overall agree then, it's just that society has become the 'walking on eggshells' part of your comment, in an attempt to not be sociopathic, which is part of the problem I am describing; just in different words.

In my opinion as someone who was constantly bullied in school and have had to deal with people through my life who (in a just world) would have been committed to a psych ward to figure out their issues in why they insist on psychologically harming others... I think we as a society are going too far now with being worried about hurting some random persons feelings over things they technically have no right to be offended over. Which is a tricky thing to discuss, because 'right to be offended' is a hard thing for some people to wrap their heads around when all they ever are is offended at everything.

Which is why I bring up the boy who cried wolf story. I think it suits the situation, since these people are essentially crying wolf at what the rest of society sees as 'nothing'.

Anyways, don't worry about whether or not something is a helpful expansion when discussing these things with me. Sometimes what ends up being the case is we actually agree on many points; but our lexicon differs. That's helpful because others will too, which means now both parties are giving a description that different people will now understand (hopefully) more accurately.
Anybody having memory issues with it? I opened a large react project and it utilized nearly 2GB of RAM. I am on a linux machine.
yeah, was at a startup years ago and fell on the wrong side of the "in crowd". Sucked but eventually found a better job and got out of there.
Apple is not standards-resistant, if that's what you're suggesting. Given their history of supporting standards (and occasionally leading a standard's adoption), that's clearly not the case.

RCS is not a slam dunk. Juniper Research says RCS-capable subscribers represent less than 13% of global mobile subscribers in 2022. (They project that that will double to 40% by 2026, FWIW.)

End-to-encryption is not part of the RCS standard, but is instead a Google-proprietary layer on top of that. I assume that Apple can't seriously consider adopting RCS until that omission is fixed. It would be crazy for Apple to create a Google dependency for something as critical as messaging, especially given Google's long history of failures in this area.
Out of curiosity I googled "percentage of US prison population that's female" and it's ~10%. So is this partly why we have the "women are wonderful" bias (because women are apparently much less likely to commit violent crime)? Or is it that because of this bias fewer women end up in prison?
How does one avoid DMCA notices from the ISPs? Is this where private trackers come into play? How does one who's not immersed in the community obtain access to private trackers?
Indeed. I posit that as we get closer and closer to simulating how the human brain works in the pursuit of artificial intelligence, we're going to start seeing more and more of the same "bugs" that humans have (logical fallacies, susceptibility to illusions, mental illness, etc.)

You think your job sucks now, just wait until you're dealing with the general AI over on the UX team that's trying to get your ass fired because it's fostering a 3 year old grudge over that time you said Chappie was stupid.
> Why is there no regulation to force non-plastic packaging when a viable alternative packing exists?

Because, at least in the non-dictatorial world, regulation comes only as a result of the mass population recognizing a need to clean up the outliers who aren't comforting with the wishes of the masses.

When a population is consuming 110 billion PET bottles per year that represents the masses. They are not going to enact legislation to clean up themselves. There would be no reason to since voluntarily stopping the practice of consuming said bottles would achieve the same effect.
Listen to this radio show on KEXP: https://www.kexp.org/shows/pacific-notions/

It's every Sunday early morning Pacific time but you can listen to recent shows in their streaming archive. The whole show is modern ambient and similar music, it's absolutely fantastic and a great way to hear new artists in the genre.

edit: lol someone already posted it. This should give you an idea of how good this show is if multiple people are suggesting it. I've never heard any other show/podcast/or anything as comprehensive about new ambient music as this one.
But that ignores the years prior where he had enough reputation to be scrutinized less, which lets him publish more, which made him more famous, which got him scrutinized less, allowing him to keep publishing, boosting his reputation, [etc].

Right up to the very end, this man was able to publish like a celebrity because no on questioned it because he was famous. So let's not bake that into the process: scrutinize all papers equally. Experts don't get a free pass, if they have new claims to make, those claims are just as "I don't believe you yet" as anyone else's.
He liked the FBI fine when they were investigating his opponent.

SSHing to another machine isn’t a solution, you’re just using a different machine.

The way to solve it and still continue to use iOS is to implement your VPN at the network layer. e.g. use one of those wifi routers with a VPN client built in.
It will be the size of a compact disc though. I'm not sure it will encounter enough atmosphere to absorb that much kinetic energy before it hits the ground. Meteors enter the atmosphere at 37 miles per second; this will be going a thousand times as fast. It will probably look like an instantaneous vertical spike of incredible brightness followed by a fairly large impact explosion. I imagine that at .2c the atoms of atmosphere would be essentially stationary, so the trail through the atmosphere would be a cylinder of total vacume surrounded by a rapidly expanding shell of exotic high energy particles. The air would be ionized and conduct a lot of electric current too, so this would be followed by a humongous lightning bolt. All that momentum is focused in a single direction, straight down- so I imagine the probe would penetrate pretty deep into the planet's crust, straight through to the mantle, maybe, which might cause a volcanic eruption. Would be quite a sight to see, I imagine. Like god's railgun.
As always, "anarchy" means "the parts of government I actually like".
I think the really great thing about this hack, is this platform is governed by a DAO. Apparently, the person who pulled this heist ended up with enough governance tokens that they could propose something to do the DAO along the lines of "I'll send you a bit of money back if you say you won't call the cops" and was able to vote for it themselves with 32million votes. https://dao-beta.mango.markets/dao/MNGO/proposal/3WZ5DpZXDvN...

From the same comment thread:

> I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is YES. #Android communicates with #Google services outside an active VPN connection, even with the options "Always-on" and "Block Connections without VPN."

Not saying that makes it right, but perhaps the discussion should be not be focused on Apple specifically.

Both are good reasons to avoid such toxic people. VC's especially.
That's what I'm debating right now, will the CEO change things or not, in two occasions in the past months he reaffirms that he will, and that what's holding me, it's temporary soon it will be clear whether he will do it or not.

And I agree there are other robotic companies, but the team (beside these two) is great, and I contributed a lot in its growth in the past 2.5 years -I'm now the oldest employee-, so trying my best to give it a chance, maybe at least until the holiday, I don’t want to regret it in the future that I rushed without giving a second chance.
> I don't care about such rules.

Yes, that is clear.

> Personally I have no problem using:

Loop is fine for simple examples like this. But I am currently maintaining a code base that has LOOPs with dozens and dozens -- sometimes a few hundred -- clauses. A single LOOP can extend over multiple pages. It's a nightmare.

Note that LOOP can fail even for simple examples. Suppose I have a list of lists of numbers and I want to collect all the prime numbers. With WITH-COLLECTOR I can do this:

(with-collector collect
(dolist (l1 l)
(dolist (n l1)
(if (primep n) (collect n)))))

But with LOOP I can't because there is no way for an inner loop to collect into a collector bound in an outer loop. I have to collect the individual sub-lists and then append them, or something like that, which is both inelegant and inefficient.

And if I have a tree of items which I want to walk over and collect all of the once satisfying a predicate, LOOP just doesn't handle that at all. But by separating collection from iteration it becomes trivial:

(with-collector collect
(do-tree (item tree)
(if (predicate item) (collect item))))

Neither WITH-COLLECTOR and DO-TREE are part of CL, of course, but writing them is an elementary exercise (and both are part of ergolib if you really don't want to be bothered).
There's a reasonable argument that you'd need to exclude women from dynastic monarchies, and women who fought through a male-candidate-dominated democratic process for their prominence. The selection process weeds out the archetypical woman (or neurotypical, or stereotypically feminine in thought, or whatever you want to call it. The Iron Lady was not your Mum).

Hilary Clinton is another example. Wellesley to warmonger? Something happened there, and my suspicion is that it has to do with "competing" in a male-dominated arena.
Came here to suggest this. I find the Dev.to community to be generally beginner-friendly, helpful, constructive, and kind.
Thank you for responding, I definitely will.
I don't think the fact that the CEO of a company made a claim is sufficient justification for putting that claim in the title of a news article, especially without a "CEO claims" qualification of some kind.
Ugh, I hope they don't make it difficult to use third party password managers. I'm pretty happy with vault warden.
Google did an ad campaign recently that’s basically that line of thinking (plus trying to encourage them to adopt RCS): https://www.android.com/get-the-message/
