Agreed that squeezing too hard will probably backfire. I don’t agree that encouraging or facilitating the crossing is a win-win.

It’s likely that the landowners bought the plots strategically to get de facto “ownership” of the public land. Why buy all of the land when you can buy the moat around it?
I still cannot wrap my head around the idea of making a boycott illegal. If it's not accompanied by speech, what is the difference between someone who actively avoids a product or one who simply would not have purchased it in the first place? How can that possibly be enforced? If I sign that form and then happen to not buy any of the products I'm not supposed to boycott, have I violated the contract?
Can anyone see the reasoning behind number 21 in the list?: D1lakiss
A decade or so ago there was an idea that "patterns" (Gang of Four) needed to exist because the underlying language (Java, etc) was limited in it's power or expressiveness.

Go is opinionated, and much of that has hurt the language -- with the go loop semantics coming to mind. Instead of realizing their mistake early and fixing it back in 2009ish, they doubled down on it. Here in 2022, they finally opened it back up for discussion.

I wonder if someone will come up with a Grammarly-like tool which you can feed with sample writings to help you increase/lower the similarity score of a new text you are writing.
> This is most evident in the Vision Statement which discusses diversity, equity, expansive notions of excellence, wellness, an ethic of care, plural identities, climate justice, environmental justice, and racial justice, and then states that "We hold ourselves and each other accountable to ensure these values drive all decision-making in research, pedagogical innovations, resource allocation, and the development of policies and practices."

Heaven forfend that “excellence” and “wellness” and various sorts of justice should be primary drivers of various sorts of decisionmaking.

Weird I did the interview for my current interview in December and got the offer first week of January
I've tried it. It worked as designed* though with a surprisingly amount of lag (it took an hour or so for all my followers to move over).

*As designed, it only automatically moves people who follow you, not the people who you follow, your bookmarks, posts, etc.

There are also import/export functions for the list of people who you follow, and your bookmarks, and some other things I think that I didn't export. Those also worked, but it un-sorted my bookmarks (which are otherwise sorted by date added). Additionally (by design) this sends a new notification to everyone that you follow, that you followed them, and it requires people who have it set so they must approve followers to re-approve you as a follower.

This wasn't a problem for me, but it also (unsurprisingly) doesn't move followers who are on an instance which has been de-federated from by your original instance.
my second highest hit (ie, third in the list) is gwern at 0.45 who i'm fairly sure is not me.
No alt, and the highest match is 0.36

And that accounts last several comments were flagged as dead.

A revelation for me was doing a Racket course and seeing the style with the ending parens all on one line. Made so much more sense than matching up with the opening paren by indentation.

One of the first lisps I used let you use a super-closing ] instead of umpteen ))).

That sort of made sense to me too.
The SmallInteger limitation is probably because as an optimisation they stored them as immediate values rather than generic objects, and Squeak shares this limitation (the newer Spur format extends this to one or more additional types depending on image bitness).

Related to references and the above, Eliot Miranda's blog may be informative as it provides both details and sometimes code for many of the changes that have happened in the Squeak (and now OpenSmalltalk) VM, e.g. http://www.mirandabanda.org/cogblog/2013/09/13/lazy-become-a...
This is true but sort of different. Most of them are hiring out of next year's budgets with start dates in May/June. The last time we had a pull-back in tech, a lot of those offers ended up getting rescinded, so if you're in that boat, don't start spending the money until you actually start...
The parent comment which I replied to said, verbatim:

>> Last week Twitter was supposed to break in a couple of days
> I did not see anyone make any such statements. Who are you referring to?

So I answered that poster. I provided the parent comment with some avenues for witnessing a small sampling of the lies and fear-mongering about Twitter. For example, if you spend some time at my last link, a Twitter search page, you'll find one possible search query that results in statements of the kind the parent comment asked for. For example:

> Staying on twitter until it breaks, but make no mistake— it will break (World Cup tweets alone…).

> If no big news story breaks this weekend I suspect Twitter will crash on Monday, sometime after 8am when England scores their 1st World Cup goal. I read that Twitter staff would have watch parties for WC traffic & pray for no goals so there'd be no cascading server failures.

> Twitter will break next week. The World Cup is the #1 driver of social media posts - by ALOT - and would stress a system at full functionality. Twitter is going down faster than Neymar.

> I don’t wanna stir fear but a site like Twitter having a skeleton crew running it means that 100% shit will break. Oh and the Qatar World Cup is coming soon, Twitter may not be able to cope with that (if Steve broke Twitter then the World Cup for sure will)

> Predictions are that the World Cup traffic will likely “break” Twitter.

> The World Cup is gonna kill Twitter

> The World Cup will break Twitter, probs

And from the first link I posted, a news article:

> the 2022 FIFA World Cup over the weekend. It has historically been one of Twitter's busiest events, when Tweet surges heavily stress its systems. "It does look like he's going to blow up Twitter," said Robert Graham.
> "I can't see how the lights won't go out at any moment."

Again: *etc.* There's plenty more out there.

---

> Your comment says people said it should break by now. That isn’t the case.

Wrong. My comment does provide evidence of people saying it should break (have broken) by now; it gave the parent commenter the exact information they requested: people saying it should break "by now"--days prior to the world cup.

Also, I said nothing about what "most people" are saying. Although, now I would expect you to provide evidence for your assertion. I'd like to see evidence that "most people" are saying it "may" break in the "near future."

I expect goalposts to continue to move, so your comment is not surprising.

> Why do you have loyalty to someone who doesn’t care about you — Elon.

Whoa. That one came out of nowhere. I'd like to know what you imagined I wrote in my first post that signified I'm "loyal" to Twitter's new owner.
In the environments I've been in, it feels like all of these things would set off everybody's BS detectors extremely quickly
Yo.

Ask me anything.

Edit : I'm actually serious. I don't do most of the things in the article, or at least definitely not with the intent and detail - but I've been moved over time from being a pretty good and certainly respected hands on techie, to a middle to upper manager with massive imposter syndrome, and certainly feel I contribute less for more credit. Client loves me. My boss loves me. My team loves me. But I myself definitely struggle to always understand my value and I definitely spend many hours each week fine tuning PowerPoint slides, reporting, over communicating, team building, teaching people to communicate differently, etc - which again, seems to make everybody happy and impressed. Maybe my hidden talent is communicating between techies and business? Possibly there's real value in my role - but DEFINITELY not according to any hacker news colleagues - nearly everything I do is venomously dismissed by th HN zeitgeist (I'm neither surprised nor resentful - I spent 20 years saying same things, until I have become them:) . So - AMA :)

Boycotting is not cancel culture, IMO. It's one thing to vote with your wallet, or vocally protest against a company. It's another thing entirely to go after someone personally and attempt to ruin their life for something they've done to offend you. I suspect that's the problem most people are thinking of when they use the term 'cancel culture.' Like Justine Sacco. Totally horrid leveraging of the power of the Internet to destroy an individual.

In 2017 I had taken two years off and went back into the job market after very solid employment history. Only one major company would interview me, and I passed. I got ghosted by regular companies I was "too good for" previously. Before taking time off I was a premium candidate. So yeah it can be hard, you do need some sort of explanation, even in a good market.
I was actually just looking at near hits for gwern and found what's almost definitely a defunct alt for him.

>Importantly, this should also be seen as precedence for private piracy and that people with thousands of movies on their harddrives naturally aren't liable for the sum of their retail price.

I don't think that holds. They installed all this software automatically, when you download movies you have to manually action each one. I mean, unless people are downloading movie packs from torrent sites these days or whatever?
Hmm, I just tried it again and both the first and last page of search results were all shipped and sold by Amazon. My search term was "geiger counter" and results were from amazon.com.
And they will continue to struggle. Getting a work permit and visa for a laid-off US citizen, or (worse) a laid off H1-B worker, presents some huge barriers.

Scrivener is amazing on macOS.

I tried doing the cross-platform writing story with the new versions on Windows and mobile apps, but it just has too many issues of syncing and random formatting bugs across the OS.

I absolutely love the mac experience though and it has helped me author two books in less than two years. I've tried markdown generators and traditional word, but Scrivener just feels right.
Thanks for the reminder! Could've lost a bunch of photos :) Also, it's interesting how little effort Heroku put into helping you upgrade. There's no one-click options, and instead it's a forest of choices and menus to jump through.

By the way, one hack to not upgrading your app? Move your DBs to a single shared instance on Amazon, and then point Heroku apps to that one instance. Meanwhile, in Heroku just remove the Postgres addon. As long as it doesn't see a free instance, it doesn't complain.
It’s the US, you’re going to have to drive to it anyway because it’s 500 miles away.
You opt into making your writing publicly available when making posts on this site. I’m not sure what Ycombinator’s user agreement* says about this, but it is pretty obvious that they haven’t done anything to prevent it (and it isn’t clear what they could do).

* and I mean they author of the tool is here making posts, so I guess they have agreed to the TOS, but clearly someone who hasn’t agreed to it could also make this tool and scrape out publicly available posts without agreeing to anything.

I wasn't aware of this issue, and as framed by the ACLU it's pretty alarming.

Also, the power of compounding interest over time. Take time off and eat away at your savings for a year when you are 25, and that probably adds 5 years to your retirement age. Better make that year really worth it!
This is precisely what's happened in our company. The project management head was not a servant leader and actively avoided doing real work while telling others what to do and promising to do things that never happened. Sadly, this person is still with our company at the time of this writing, but thankfully not anymore in a role where they can derail work.

What really struck a nerve in me was that I had to catch all the work this person wasn't doing, and I only realized it after I got burned out from all the extra work.

The bigger issue then is that you can't solve this because often, the person does a good job of hiding the bigger issue by deflecting to smaller, more pressing ones.

If it was a requirement from a private contractor that would probably be fine (and could be an exercise of the First Amendment by itself). But with government contracts it looks like the amendment should be applied here.
If you took out mortgage when interest rates were really low, it’s possible to have your own place and spend about that much per month if you live frugally (well at least until you need to remortgage in few years and rates might be much higher). If you are renting though I also finding it difficult to believe. I was spending around 1600 pounds per month and I was living very modest live, spending little and trying to save as much of my income as I could.
Yup. There’s also a heavy emphasis on relevant experience. I’ve found that only a subset of staff+ engineering roles are open to me because of this, whereas it was all open when I was in a junior role.
And yet, the US and capitalism are both still around, and their continued existence ensures we don't get people in comments sections claiming that we don't know how capitalism works as a system because _real_ capitalism still hasn't been tried.
> If you need to practice leetcode like things for interviews, aren’t you also doing free ‘work’? Only in that case it’s more proof-of-work than something actually useful.

This might be true, but at least the skills are easy to show off on a resume and will help you with other interviews. Open-source contributions might vary drastically in nature and might be harder to leverage as experience/proof of skill

One way would be to run such tool before posting and then based on the results, tweak the post and repeat until the similarities are not statistically significant. Or instead of tweaking, start posting under a new throwaway account. But this won't save you when some new way to analyze style appears in the future. Moreover there are other types of meta data which can be taken into account to narrow down the search space a bit such as timestamps. And obviously more you write, harder it is to control these things.
Pretty sure it wasn't to impress anyone, but to save keystrokes. In both cases the stock ticker is shorter than the company name, and everyone instantly knows what you're talking about.

I could understand the US government not allowing certain companies to boycott foreign governments, as you start getting companies affecting foreign policy, which isn't a great position to be in. To me, this should be limited to limits the federal government can place on business conducted specifically for the federal government, and shouldn't extend to individuals working for that company. For example, they should be able to specify that a national security company has to be willing to purchase parts from a specific foreign country for the business it does with the federal government. I feel like anything other than that should be protected speech.

Curious about how civil liability works if someone is injured on your land while partaking of their freedom to roam privileges?

In the US, a lot of the desire to keep people off private lands is liability driven (which is not mentioned in the article) e.g. someone decides to wander onto your land where you are building a house in the country, falls in a ditch at the construction site and sues you for their injuries while trespassing on your land…
I'm not sure how to tell you this but if your CCTV cameras can get to the internet you've done so many things so completely wrong that you just ought to stop doing whatever it is you're doing.

Though the argument is more fair in relation to their DVR/VMS products, but it's difficult to see a reason to use those as better alternatives running on your own hardware exist.

As a gov't installation your worries are different of course. I'd worry about, say, a specialized firmware finding its way to me, which can be commanded to disrupt surveillance in response to QR codes or other visual or auditory signals.
Funny, when discussing many situations such as poverty, career opportunities, or physical health issues, negative experiences leading to a pessimistic outlook is usually accepted, and met with acknowledgement of inequalities or systemic issues. Suggesting otherwise is sometimes even taboo.

But attempt to share the same kind of experience-informed outlook on friendship and sociality, and the same empathy is rare. This outlook seems to deeply bother people who presumably have had positive experiences.

The means of reconciling this bothersome viewpoint seems to be either insistence on a supposed “friendship meritocracy” (just do these things and have a happy attitude and you’ll find friends!) or by skipping straight to vitriol. The response is fascinating in its own right, really.
Damn. If you find anything related to it, I’ll happily Venmo you $20. (High roller, I know.)

The magic of making Lua so fast is seriously underrated. I’m fascinated why Lua in particular seems to be so amenable to speedups vs, say, Python bytecode or even Elisp bytecode.

Pseudonymity isn’t anonymity. The problem of course is if you first had a non-anonymous account (e.g with your real name) and then for some reason switched to a pseudonym you thought wasn’t linked to your real identity.

The bottom line I guess is: if you did that, your choice is basically to never post at all or to create an account where you practice some kind of opsec to try to disconnect it from your previous account (e.g run it through a service that rewrites the text).
Yep, I can imagine that.
