As a recommendation from someone who suffered this way too long, your way of thinking is why you only store the bad memories. I often thought “I’m just a negative person” and accepted it, but not until I decided to focus on my mental health did I realize I had to let this go. I’ve been happier each and every day since. It took almost a year or two of “fake it until you make it”, but once you’re on the other side of this coin, you will never look back.

This is why I read the comment section of HN before clicking the link.
It makes sense that Salesforce would want to reduce their office space after laying off ~10% of their workers, but title of the article really should be changed to reflect that the fact that they are not vacating the Salesforce tower.
I am still interested in knowing what you think Carville was talking about, without prompting from me. You might want to read the interview where he said this.

But I'll give an example. Again, I want to point out that I don't use the term "woke", which I consider to be unhelpful. But here's an example of what I would view as the self-defeating behavior of the far left.

Let's take Judge Duncan's talk at Stanford. Now, I probably don't need to convince you to be concerned about the 5th circuit court or Duncan's judicial record. That much, at least, we already agree about. And anyway, there are far better people than me to explain it.

Unfortunately, those better people didn't get a chance to do so. I would say that the behavior from the Stanford Law school students who chose to disrupt the speech was an example of harmful behavior from the radical left that represents a pretty serious setback for moderate liberals. Duncan won this round, and there really was no need to hand him such a victory. Stanford looked bad, DEI admins looked bad, the student protestors looked bad. They provided a right wing judge with an an opportunity to obfuscate, avoid getting questioned and pressed on important points where he's genuinely vulnerable, and they took from the left the opportunity to raise awareness of really serious implications of what I consider to be a radical court. Worst, they gave him the opportunity to paint his opponents the worst possible light. I think they gave the right wing a real gift that day.

So yeah, I think that everyone on the moderate left knows this is becoming a problem.

This is a very useful comment.

I knew Servo was part of Mozilla, but was confused by the article. It said 2013 was in use, but listed multiple major issues with it that I would think would prevent FF from being acceptable by any normal person.

Knowing it was a project and not a part of the current FF engine (as I had assumed) is the context I was missing.

Thank you. I don’t follow FF development closely enough to know this stuff, I just know enough to recognize a few project names.

What problem is granting personhood actually solving here? It's a model with a data set. Some knowledge should simply be forbidden and illegal. Simple as that. Nobody needs to grant personhood to anything to solve this problem.

In all fairness, the human driven ones crash an awful lot too!

Keep in mind that truly reliable and robust AI driving will save 10s of millions of lives and trillions of dollars of avoided economic losses.

Creating AI that can drive a car that virtually never crashes will be the pinnacle of software engineering, and a turning point in our civilization.

The savings in blood and money can’t come soon enough, but otherwise it’s basically a Very Good Thing it’s going to take a little while to get it really working.

We’re not really ready for the implications of software that can reason that well in the real world.
Really? its about cultural appropriation, UNESCO treaties and Switzerland, and the securitisation of investment in documents and stamps with a dash of tax, ponzi more than the effect "Sade" has on any story. I don't think very many prior owners felt it was "cursed" -They just disputed the means of owning it, and who had better claim. Value wise, it certainly went up (until the Ponzi scheme value went bananas)

There's not a perversion in sight, except the financial. He wrote it on a roll like Kerouac. That was new to me (Kerouac had a typewriter. De Sade had a pot of glue. I hope it was glue. Maybe he made do with what was to hand...)

The same curse can be said to vest in almost any literary work which has gone missing in action. It's why "the Hitler Diaries" happened: the value to some of the goods as handled is inestimable. People still say the Mona Lisa returned after theft is a fake and some Mafia lord has the real one in a safe, to gloat over. Perhaps that's why "glass onion" had it?

"Possession" by A.S.Byatt is a fictionalisation of the problem. Beautifully written.

If you were a soi-disant author, man of letters, handy with a whip, and about to be consumed by the wreckage of your prison .. wouldn't you grab that roll of bog-paper you'd been writing on? Apparently not. Maybe he was saner than people think?
> no one, not even high level party members took this bullshit seriously enough

Don't know when you were born (I was in the 1960s). You're wrong. A lot of people, especially Gagarin's generation, took what you call bullshit seriously and believed in it. Hence, were willing to lay down their life for the cause.

That isn’t what the law has determined though. The law has only determined that police can’t be sued or imprisoned for failing to assist. It can be my job to pick up trash, but that doesn’t make it my legal obligation even under threat to my own life.
Do you not see how this is editorializing? They refuse to cover story having to do with the son of the Democratic candidate. And they pretended the story was not real.
The story was mentioned as an example of NPR editorializing. What is your point?
Isn’t CSS, like so many things, limited by backwards compatibility? They can’t clean slate it and call it CSS 4, no one would bother.

Everything they do has to work with the old stuff, or be very explicit that you’re changing the rules (like adding “display: flex”).

I suspect there is also a fair amount of “this is what everyone did so try not to break it” in there too, much like HTML.

I’m not sure anyone could make a clean spec under those circumstances.
When I read this, I also though "duh". Yet, consuming articles like this from time to time is useful to remind you of "splendid uselessness" because, as the article suggests, the world around us is orthogonal to this. So your day-to-day is not aligned to this, and the default is to view everything through an economic productivity lens.
You’re hitting on the subtle distinction between “actor” and “star”. One can be both but it’s rare (Daniel Day Lewis, Meryl Streep). Stars are familiar, you know who they are and what to expect. That’s part of what they’re selling, and what makes them bankable. They are simply such charismatic and compelling people that it makes them fun to watch on screen (note: there is zero questioning of morality or talent in this statement, pure observation — Kevin Spacey allegedly committed some real crimes. That doesn’t make LA Confidential any less entrancing on a pure craft level).

Actors are selling dynamism and unexpected choice. Think Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Unparalleled actor, but when he shares the screen with Tom Cruise, most folks’ eyes can’t help but be drawn to Cruise first.

That’s why persona and publicity is such a big part of it — you have to know that Harry Styles (star) is a cool guy off the screen to accept him as one onscreen.

> If the U.K. wants to diverge the its regulatory regime then there must be customs checks where they differ, otherwise smuggling will thrive

Sounds like there are three options (I'm going to talk as if from the UK point of view):

- (1) Same customs laws + No custom checks = My sovereignty is getting violated because I can't change my laws without your permission

- (2) Different customs laws + Customs checks = We both have sovereignty and our regulations are enforced, but violent people who hate the border will attack it and kill people; that seems bad.

- (3) Different customs laws + No border = I make my own laws, and I choose to find violators at weigh stations, when pulling over people for traffic offenses, or by inspectors at the final destination (British equivalent of USDA?) I don't care enough about enforcement to check everyone, so I'm not going to make a physical border checkpoint. If you care so much about checking everyone, you're free to make a checkpoint on your own side. Your people will be the ones who do the dying when the violent border haters attack, but that's your problem. We both know border checkpoints here will cost lives, I don't think it's worth it, you do, I do what I think is right on my side, you do what you think is right on your side. That's what being different countries means, we can make different choices when different policy options involve trade-offs.

Option (3) seems pretty reasonable to me.
I do suspect it's true that there are more web developers (frontend or fullstack) laid off than any other category, but that is likely a result of much higher demand, given that A) web had a decade+ head start on mobile and B) the app store gold rush had already started to taper off years ago, leaving much higher friction and thus lower demand for true native apps (including the resulting strategy shift towards web views/react-native to hedge on development costs).

Overall this means native might be slightly less saturated, but I think it's a real risk for junior developers to conclude that that means it's a better career path than web. Web is still where the greatest demand is. Other specialties like embedded have potential but aren't at the same volume. And of course there's always going to be demand for a smaller number of maintainers of legacy systems (eg. COBOL/mainframe) that provide extremely high ROI but are generally undercompensated due to lack of competition. Ultimately after a multi-decade run up like this, the market will be saturated with people who are just chasing the paycheck but aren't actually suited the job. If you have the natural curiosity and attention to detail needed to succeed as a software engineer, just pick something you're interested in and hunker down while to give the dead weight time to wash out. It happened in 2000, it'll happen again.

I'm not sure why this is a disliked post? Wouldn't mind a clue. I'm referring to the way they usually announce products right before they go up for sale, or announce software changes right before beta.
Do those account for a significant portion of the effect, or are you just cherry picking a couple nice instances? The word modern is doing some heavy lifting as well; shareholder primacy certainly isn't responsible for most of the overall benefit from vaccines.
yeah you can drink and party for a few years but then the filth, the misery, and in many cases the idiocy of this city starts to wear one down.

The pure text editing is just a tiny detail. I exclusively use vim keybindings inside Emacs, as many others do.

Emacs makes extending the editor a breeze. As a new user this just means that you have packages (like VS 'extensions' or IntelliJ 'plugins') for, well, everything. For a more advanced user it means you can automate away many things that are a pain in the ass to repeatedly do in your daily work.

I'd suggest you try Doom Emacs when you have a couple of free hours to get a taste of what a properly configured Emacs can do. And, once you are on it, just press "SPC f p", select 'init.el' and check what popular packages you can activate just by uncommenting a line and doing a 'doom sync'. Then press "SPC f p" and select 'config.el' to check how even "configuration" in Emacs is just elisp code. You are just running a piece of code you can edit and even debug from itself _while_ you are running it (although that'd require a bit more explanation of how it's done) . This should give you a taste of what Emacs is about.
855 points (so far) for the breathless right-wing political disinfo about SF being the murder capital of North America due to the polices of city leaders.

75 points (so far) for the fact that the suspect is a tech exec who knew the victim.

0 points for any article observing that the victim moved from SF to Miami to escape violent crime, when Miami's murder rate is 180% of SF.
It currently only outputs .mp4 and .gif files. You could probably use these as game assets, but I don't think it would be optimal.

The rendering code utilizes an MVC framework. If you need the animation output in a .obj format or something, it's as simple as creating a new View that supports it. Feel free to request this in a Github issue if you want me to prioritize it.
The Chinese company Xiaomi[1] is a major contributor to on of my favorite open source projects. The Ukraine government just labeled them an 'international sponsor of war.' I'm a contributor and maintainer of this project. (Throwaway account for obvious reasons.)

What does it mean when you love a software project but some of its key participants are aiding international violence? The engineers contributing to the project just have regular jobs just like me. It's not their fault. It's the company that is causing the problem.

But the situation is unsettling.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this matter if you have any.

I'd have some empathy for doctors. They are doing what they are paid to do, which is extend life and improve its quality according to a given set of metrics.

Like most engineers, when there is a potential positive outcome that isn't captured in the metrics they are incentivized to improve, they shrug and turn their focus elsewhere. It doesn't mean they're happy about it, it's just not their job.

Agreed, but from a distance it sounds like farm machinery might be something that keeps interest and involvement, as it's so critical to operations.

I'm somewhat influenced by the descriptions of various farming organisations in Seeing Like A State which I recently read. There is a lot of active cooperation, experimentation, knowledge sharing etc. around crop varieties.
> The medical community is a joke as a whole. They even brush off side effects because they have never heard about them before. They are as unscientific as you can go.

I've had lackluster medical care before, but this is an extreme position. A lot of health professionals are dealing with life and death decisions on an hourly basis. I can understand how under those circumstances you'd be biased towards conservative and practical methods. Do what you know works; you don't want someone to lose their life, or have some horrible complication, because you think it'd be cool to try something different.

Windows NT was designed as a multi-user system in which everything [0] lived in one of a small handful of global namespaces. They built an unbelievably complex ACL and “privilege” system for it. And they allowed remote systems to connect over various Ethernet protocols and interact directly with those global namespaces. And they did the latter with cryptosystems that were obviously terrible even at the time. Of course it didn’t work.

Linux is modeled after Unix, and I don’t think security was a serious initial goal. Heck, Unix has setuid, of which nothing good can be said. Most of Linux’s security advantages were due to:

1. The lack of the aforementioned global namespaces in such an egregious way. The main global namespaces is the filesystem, and that one stares you in the face. The object manager hierarchy in Windows was basically invisible until Sysinternals figured out how to enumerate it and stuck a UI on it.

2. A lack of all the Microsoft RPC crap. Your files and processes on Linux were not all visible from outside. You only had an SMB server if you chose to run one.

3. A much less complex syscall interface. Seccomp on Linux is fairly straightforward. Windows had to come up with a complex “integrity level” scheme. (Windows is full of nasty complex things like restricted jobs that seem unlikely to be used correctly by anyone.)

But at least Windows has a sensible process model and does not have privilege increases when CreateProcess is called.

Security systems that actually work are simple.

At least they had a SAK, which everyone seems to have given up on these days.

I think composition is often the tool that’s needed when trying to hit two birds with one stone, but not reached for as often as it should be.

Although conditional statements are totally useful and essential, I find their overuse tends to look like the logic is especially departed from the data structures it operates on. On the other hand, composition tends to accomplish the opposite — it reads with clearer intent and reveals more about what’s similar or dissimilar in various parts of your data.

It’s totally possible to compose poorly too, of course. Plenty of ways to write awful code :)

I would go even further. Only create the abstraction when you have no other choice. If copying the code isn't causing you pain don't touch it, it's working code. In the rare case you need to update more than one copy you can grep a little bit for a while.

Taking a bunch of duplicated but "flat" code and creating an abstraction around it gets easier the more copies of the code you have because you have a more complete picture of what the right abstraction actually is.

Code is like clay, once it DRYs it stops being malleable.

Nope it was definitely a lie. Corporate journalist along with their connections in our intelligence institutions colluded to tarnish and bury the story before an election before it had a chance to be assessed properly. I understand not believing the story to begin with and even believing that there was no incriminating content within the laptop (other than Hunter’s dysfunctional life), but there was definitely a campaign to bury the story so that it would not affect Joe Biden’s chances of being elected. The campaign was to call it Russian disinformation. Do you at least admit this much?
