> You don't even know that I'm American.

I don't and I've never implied this in any of my comments, although I definitely suspected it - some cultural things really stick out, no offense.

> This is a website for discussing things and having opinions. That's kind of the point.

Yes it is, and this is me challenging you point. Don't take it the wrong way.

> You're the one who assumed the collective pronoun was nationally based.

I certainly did not, definitely not national, but rather cultural.

> I am under no obligation to turn a blind eye to anybody's bad behavior simply because they live in a different country. Nor have I said anywhere that anyone else ought to treat me differently.

Nobody is under any obligation to do anything towards anybody, obviously. I just try do deconstruct you reasoning and understand why does your whole attitude screams that this whole deal is for you (plural) to manage. No other culture does that even when people completely shit over some other countries governments. Is this just purely a linguistic thing then?

> I suspect there would be facts in need of clarifying if they think it's equivalent to Iran, but they're entitled to their opinion.

You have completely missed my point regarding stepping in someones shoes, but unfortunately I don't have much examples of other nations meddling with some western countries internal affairs tangibly enough to be representative.
That is a really good way to learn something, better than my version which is to implement something using it.

I may steal this method.
It works mostly fine. It’s also the application I use basically every minute of the day. ‘Mostly fine’ just doesn’t cut it.

When we’re talking about an IDE I can just bring my own, but for chat it doesn’t work like that.
There are more than enough people who prefer the office or who are neutral to it that allow them to start bringing things back to normal.
Wow, just used this and it's great!

If you're suggesting that DNS was designed with endpoint resolvers, rather than upstream caching resolvers, in mind: no, it's the opposite. The DNS architecture assumes that your browser relies on a caching DNS server somewhere.

DNSSEC is hardly deployed at all and doesn't really enter into this story. It doesn't change anything about what Chrome is trying to do, and, were it actually deployed, would dwarf all other causes of increased root server loads by itself.
there isn't a lot of "litigation fee insurance" that is affordable.
The problem is that even with the codes properly, you can not escape past sins. In particular, illegal waste dumps from the 60s, 70s, who just have been bulldozed over and build upon. They lead to liquidification under stress (large buildings or small earth quakes. And even the best up to code building will not withstand stresses outside of the spec (tilt by 30 degrees + shake).

Its very scary and in particular near old city borders in the 70s its acute.

Some more cynical view. You are only there because your boss doubt that you know how to look at your wrist.

The statement was made in response to your own claim about journalism, not about the super bowl. Individual statements can obviously be objective. Not all topics worthy of journalistic reporting can be: Anything where we can't know with 100% confidence that we have every fact and that all of our sources are perfect and that we know the whole context and motivations and history. Judgements have to be made. This applies to perhaps the majority of topics - even stories that seem small.
It’s being added as a top line feature to a consumer search engine, so expect a lame warning in grey text at best.
It's not odd, it's 50% incompetence 50% feelings of self-importance
It seems like abysmally bad management and also pretty common, to have to bring in an outsider to ask the workers “what obvious stupid things do you see going on here.”
Thank you for the links, I prefer to use Matrix(Element on mobile and gomuks in cli on workstations), I also use weechat for certain networks that don't allow bridging with matrix, I also bridge slack into same weechat.

But this doesn't change the fact that irc is obscure minority now, no matter how many shiny web interfaces we put on top of it, so embracing the actually open platform that has a chance of gaining any traction is a no-brainer.

Ask HN: Comparing first/2nd order logic approaches an apples/oranges attempt??

I work for the government and a lot of the consultants I've come across have been hired by incompetent leadership to try and fix broken processes that said leaders truly can't solve. The government regularly hires consultants to try and fill deficits caused by poor/weak leadership.

We have a consultant right now doing 'process improvement' on one of the easiest processes I can think of, simply because no one wants to handle a difficult conversation with some powerful people who are gumming up the works with their inane power maneuvering.

Of course, no consultant is ever going to point out that the problem is leadership to the people who hired them.
Yes!! I would so like to have a fontconfig option to just disable ligatures altogether, but afaik, one would have to enumerate ALL fonts that one would like to disable them for in the config file - and that's not feasible. So I mostly live with it, and shake my fist in helpless anger whenever somethings f_cks up my otherwise beautifully monospaced flow with this most damned misfeature of digital typesetting.
Will be interesting to see, were the responsibility dominos stop.
If you want to call out a silly building code at least stay relevant and list one which is structural. Otherwise this outlet discussion is meaningless in the context of structural design.
it was a huge hit to the gut. the kids were sitting at home for like a year+. crappy zoom non-classes where everyone falls asleep. at my local high school even the newly built sports field was shut down and fenced off for the whole year. why??? sure, the pandemic, whatever, but it was brutal for the little people.
I asked around and it seems like you're right about it not being a resource issue (network or computational). The issue is that the bridge is unstable and having tens of thousands of matrix.org users join/parting every now and then disrupts the IRC channels.
It's substantially true, at least in part. Source: I worked at one of them for a few years.

In my preferred niche I was surrounded by a mixed bag of peers senior and junior. In turn I wrote proposals, sold work, and was staffed on projects outside my niche I wasn't experienced or qualified in, but if you squinted hard enough you could say I had transferable skills toward.

For the most part my projects were successful, in the sense of we didn't get fired overall and the customer paid for the work. The biggest ways to screw up were the easily caught stuff like missing deadlines, exceeding the expenses policy or padding hours, which was harder to catch but some folks were brazen and/or cunning about it.

"Yes we're an expert in that" was a phrase that wasn't ever taught but I heard often. Saying yes to anything buys you time to find the solution either by skilling up or connecting to someone with actual knowledge across the very large and well-connected employee base, or fake it if you can't. Saying no ends the opportunity.

Some of the work was mutually convenient, hey can you take care of this one weird project for me, cheaper and easier to go with a fudged service from an existing and recognizable supplier than to wade into an unfamiliar niche, go through the trouble of onboarding the supplier, and not know whether you're getting good service or not. Go with the big 4 and you'll likely get a solid C or if you're lucky a B grade service. Just the act of getting a new consultant onboarded as a supplier can take months or years at large companies. The big 4 are on the supplier lists everywhere already.

Tbh a lot of this contract and relationships stuff is valuable, you're much less likely to get a complete service delivery or billing nightmare out of one of these large firms. You can call them up in the middle of the night and they'll sell you anything. It's a little like Alibaba or Amazon but for business services.

Probably the weirdest part was finding the land and expand playbooks, in some of which they'd find and dine a "type b" personality and prop up their career in exchange for a steady stream of contracts. Basically quid pro quo, but none of it made explicit or overtly conditional, more an open handed game theory type of thing.

I took this mentality with me to a boutique shop. It works pretty well.
Voltrons 12 open source projects to watch in 2023
I use both slack and teams. Slack chat features are vastly superior, they work really well, we devs use only slack, but I prefer Teams for video conferences, it's not that slack doesn't work, but I found teams screen sharing or recording to be better.
Also Teams is simpler for non dev people.
How would that work. This is a kickstarter project
Microsoft just absolutely suck at things.

I was using Bing Maps earlier and it had shops in the wrong location. Like it would give you directions to the wrong location. The correct one would be another 30-40 minute walk from the destination it said.

It also showed a cafe near me which caught my interest. I zoomed in further and thought "I've never seen that there". Clicking on it brought me to a different location in the map... a place in Italy!
> It will make more ideas have to stand on their own merits

This is a reasonable position to take, but I'm afraid it's somewhat at odds with the current reality on the ground.

The problem being stated here isn't that "absent the ability to provide image/video/audio evidence and trust it as untampered, we will be left adrift in a sea of confusion", it's that we aren't ready to compensate for the problems that lack of trust creates yet.

For the vast majority of people in our society, nothing has changed since 15 years ago. They still trust that everything they see on the news (at least, the news source of their choice) is real. (This despite the fact that it's been terrifyingly easy for decades to create a narrative with no actual alteration of the source footage—just clever editing. See, eg, "The Illusion of Truth", from the 4th season of Babylon 5, aired in 1997, for a great illustration of this effect. Not to mention a great example of how science fiction draws attention to real social issues of the time, but can't easily predict what technologies we'll have available—or they just would've made deepfakes of John and Delenn there instead.)

All in all, I hope you're right—and I think that ultimately, we will develop a more robust ability, as a society, to make up our minds based on principles and values rather than on who says what...but I'm afraid that we will have some very rough times in the near-to-medium term before we can get there. Because we're not ready yet.
Not sure what you think is "propaganda" about concerns about Russian aggression in Ukraine or about China's evils.

Even Afghanistan wasn't a matter of propaganda so much as other flaws/isaues, such as overreactivity and hubris.
N=1, i was talking to my father over Meta’s messenger about my plans for the future. I mentioned doing research in $Country, a visit to the grocery store later and the ads in my messenger app were for a research degree in $country.

We were even speaking in a mixture of english and $language, and it still figured stuff out.

Unfortunately i cant get my friends and family to adopt a more privacy friendly platform.
Perhaps the issue is that whatever you're good at, you'll be shown along side the best of the best. Your friend's joke is funny when you hear it at a party. But is it as funny on Twitter, where it's shown alongside jokes from professional comedians?
I've been programming with Clojure since 2010 and using it in production almost as long and I hardly ever care about the internal types so I'm really curious as to how you went down that "rabbit hole"? What sort of problems were you solving that necessitated delving into the implementation details behind the abstractions?

I've only needed to dig into that occasionally for a handful of specific situations (for example, in next.jdbc, where I create a hash map like abstraction over the (mutable) ResultSet object from Java -- to paper over some nasty interop issues).
> I'm delighted to see that biohackers are stirring things up. Let's hope this inspires the industry to rethink their approach to drug development.

I joined a biohacker Discord a while ago out of curiousity.

One of the channels was dedicated to getting a Chinese company to synthesize a pipeline pharmaceutical that was being researched in mice by some company. The people in the channel didn't want to wait for the human trials to experiment on themselves.

Long story short, they got a synthesis and paid thousands to confirm its purity. Several people took it and experienced some extremely concerning, potentially life threatening side effects. I noped out of the Discord because I didn't want to be associated with that group in any way after watching how they operated.

Genetic engineering is a whole new level of potential problems.

I have yet to have a major complaint about Teams. It works, I have my meeting and I close it. I don't know what some of you want in a video conferencing app.
Every firm is a tech firm if they have developers, it's just a question of if their tech generates revenue or is just a cost. Either way they need to pay developer rates, and have a developer seniority structure.
Oh man I can't wait to argue with my zettelkasten.
Ever hear the advice, "Beware the old man in a young man's game"?

Every couple of years a new upstart claims some fundamental flaw and illustrates how they would fix it. The industry has a lot of upheaval with new leaders emerging from the pack constantly.

But after almost fifty years, SQL is still there. Folks have ORM'd it countless times. Tried to apply it to their popular (and unpopular) language. Implemented new database styles with novel access methods.

And SQL is still just as strong if not stronger than ever. So either everyone just goes along with the old man out of habit despite the prospect of tremendous personal gain and advancement…

…or there's something important (or many things) the young upstarts just aren't recognizing about that old man—to their peril.
The pandemic (isolation etc) might have formative/lasting effects though, similar to trauma? Perhaps especially for kids/youth who were a certain age/stage of growing up at the time?

Ed: apparently the study uses data from 2021
Teams has been fine enough for me. Video connects instantly, audio drop outs are rare and the "mute incoming video" setting is a god send (when your cat is kissing you its butthole is pointing at me).

I only use Teams on an iPhone or company-issued Windows laptop, and almost exclusively for calls within my organization. Maybe some of the issues crop up on Linux and/or reaching outside of your LAN/VPN?

TLDR: Google Analytics is installed to track visits, but all of the form data is kept in the client, because the calculations are all done on the front-end.
For people who would complain about this, it's become more "anyone who's views don't align with mine", not just socialism.
I like playing with these distinctions.

It'd be interesting to flip some of these around & apply them to craftsfolk modes. We probably wouldn't want to try to re-interpret executive mode through these lenses, but I definitely felt like the split among mundane/mystical/meta also applied to engineering styles around me. Whether we are focusing on just-works simple design (mundane), building bigger scope/vision attempts (mystical) or trying to understand the balance/trends/whatever (meta).
The only thing were that does not hold, ironically, is startups, were the boss is involved with the product and suddenly all the gamed metrics, are suspended and things get done properly. Goto love those no longer important deadlines.
It's not every day, it's 3 days per week. However, I have done that before and it gets old very quickly.
Skype for business? Teams is way better than that.

I mean its not great but I feel like on Windows at least (idk about Mac or Linux) it's just distinctly average.

The only thing about teams that drove me crazy in the years of having to suffer it its search function and how the mobile app puts the logout action into settings (I lost my mind once trying to find it).
This is the laziest heuristic I've seen in a long time.
I can go to the grocery store or library or cafe right now and read the current issue of the nyt and put it back without paying a dime, on the other hand. If someone found an interesting story they'd want to share with me, they could cut it out and give it to me or photocopy it. Its interesting how digital content is often much more locked down than physical alternatives.
Clojure fans seem quite taken to hyperbole. If the language is such a "joy", "ultra-productive" etc I would have expected after such a long period of existence some major open source project to be showing off what the language attributes allow you to do.

Happy to stand corrected if there is such a slam-dunk showcase that I've missed, I am actually interested to dig into clojure, if nothing else as a way to deepen my understanding of functional programming.
Does anyone have any pointers as to how I can train ChatGPT on my personal corpus and create my own personal assistant?
If I had the ability to use the internet and never had links to content that refuses to be presented with out ads or paywalls, then I would gladly do so. Unfortunately that isn't an option, so I use ad block. I am convinced that 95%+ of the content we view on the internet today would still exist if there was no way to monetize it. But because it's monetized, we have the same news story, same recipe, same how-to guide, etc all repeated a million times over. It creates a ton of garbage and fluff and noise that brings no value to the planet to be duplicated so many times.
If anything, tech companies went out of their way to include him, in the sense that they had existing policies around the content he and his supporters generate that they modified to include them.

When he was violating Twitter's TOS as the US President, Twitter responded by making a "newsworthiness" carve-out to their TOS to keep him on the platform and switching off the auto-flagging on his accounts. And we know Twitter refrained from implementing algorithms to crack down on hate speech because they would flag GOP party members' tweets (https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-algorithm-crackdown-...).

Relative to the way they treat Joe Random Member of the Public, they already go out of their way to support Trump. Were he treated like a regular user, he'd be flagged as a troll and tossed off most platforms.

Just to be clear, it's 3 days, not every day.
I feel alone sometimes as seemingly the one person adding "I bet you didn't know it is because blogs sometimes have regular readers and regular readers drive ad revenue more reliably than SEO or concerns about copyright". I think it fits the facts better, by far, but it's really interesting to see how many HN commenters under-estimate the readership of cooking blogs because they only ever interact with recipes as utilitarian data at the end of a specific web search and aren't often themselves the sorts of people who are the regular audience of recipe blogs so they discount that such audiences exist. (I had my cooking show phase and have friends and loved ones that hooked on the stories of some of the bigger name recipe blogs and I love letting them tell me about the sorts of things they are reading. It's amazing the blinders that the general HN commenter sometimes wears without realizing it.)
Agreed, the vast majority of shareholders have little or no visibility into a company. And management and shareholder incentives aren't aligned in timescale: while shareholders be in it for the long term, management can be in it for the short term, collecting bonuses on their quarterly performance and leaving when their short-termism comes back to bite the company.

Another problem is that shareholders aren't a cohesive group. If the holders of the top 51% of shares vote as a block, they make 100% of the shareholder decisions but reap only 51% of the results. This greatly decreases the cost of doing things like buying a controlling interest in a competitor and running it into the ground, because you can get the holders of 49% of the shares to subsidize your cost. Shareholder behavior in this situation seems irrational if you look only at their behavior within the company, but it's rational in the larger context of their holdings.
It's a shame they didn't delve into why the rates were set as they are, it'd be nice if the International Trade Commission had to document a justification for their rates, but the article does mention that women's underwear is sold at higher volumes than men's, and are likely more expensive to start with too. The idea that we've been increasing taxes on items which are both more expensive and sell more often doesn't really surprise me.

Sales volume may also help account for why more high quality clothes made from expensive materials that are purchased less often get lower rates than frequently purchased low quality clothing intended for the working class (the majority of purchasers).
