Your rebuttal is simply not true.

Article 3 of the German constitution (Grundgesetz):

"No person shall be favoured or disfavoured because of sex, parentage, race, language, homeland and origin, faith or religious or political opinions. No person shall be disfavoured because of disability."

https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_gg/englisch_gg.h...

Job ads in Germany often state that disabled applicants will be favored because this is explicitly allowed.
What are the legitimate reasons?

The only real question right now is if the judge whose son quite literally works for Microsoft (!!) will decide that laws don't matter, which has been the main issue with antitrust enforcement in the recent past.
Ask HN: Any resource documenting a developer’s publishing journey on App Store?
I’m working on an app and this is my first time seriously going for publishing an app on App Store and Google Play Store. Is there any resource (blog posts etc.) that documents a developer’s publishing process?
Perhaps some day someone will invent a way to get 20 to produce the output of 10 + redundancy...

One theory is: If you have just a little too many developers (redundancy), they become bored and find ways to introduce auxiliary complexities to keep things interesting, thus things explode to 100 developers being needed...
I suspected it wasn’t required for every pilot since most initially licensed pilots will train on airplanes that don’t have retractable landing gears in the first place.

But I guess the technique isn’t much different than if your nose tire blew, which might be included in all training?

Looks like flying with a retractable landing gear is a separate “complex aircraft endorsement” that “has no corresponding check ride or minimum number of flight or ground hours that must be completed.“

(Though that’s what the regs say, the schools that provide it do have those)

This is a rule developers are just finding out now from a game getting rejected. Pretty major deal if multi-million dollar budget games like High On Life should now be banned (even worse if they don't ban it now, making the rules unclear).

I can't talk about the welfare optimising effects but it's a more efficient way to generate a similar outcome to a classic 'bid upwards' English auction - I assume you know the process of that.

Imagine we have four people competing, who each have a max bid of:

Alice: 100,
Bob: 150,
Charlie: 155,
Diana: 180,

In a standard auction bidding would, say, start at 50. When the cost exceeded 100 Alice would drop out, similarly for Bob at 150, and Charlie at 155. So Diana would win and pay 155 (plus maybe one bid-increment, depending on who bid first).

So, if each simply submitted their max bid under the Vikrey auction rules, Diana would win, and pay 155. The whole bidding upwards process can be avoided, which is by some standard more efficient, and everyone pays essentially the same as they would under and English auction.

Preamble: I do not think that large corporations are inherently bad.

This seems to be a good thing. When companies grow large enough to change daily life for a significant portion of people, they grow large enough for monopolistic abuse -- even when they are not strictly a monopoly. Having some oversight into their business practices helps provide some checks and balances to encourage them to play fair. It's not perfect, but this is one way that government tries to provide for the people by preventing capitalism from taking things too far.
Uhm, okay.

They're not concerned with the angle used - any angle that works is acceptable - just that more successful groups are brought down, and they're concerned with the levers used to bring them down (as a matter of cultural control). The idea is to be able to dominate politically through manipulation. For some political machines that's viewed as a critical tool: intentionally segment people into conflict groups (forever subdividing as you go), spur endless conflict and cultural control through the conflict (hate speech controls = end of free speech, and so on).
No, it's entirely the engines — there are a lot of moving pieces of metal that have to safely expand and contract in understood cycles. The brakes and wheels are fine with tight turns (assuming you don't have to use max braking). Southwest operates on a very similar timetable, and in fact flies a few of the more-trafficked Hawaii island hops. The difference is that Hawaiian's 717s _only_ fly island hops all day, every day. Southwest rotates its planes, so any given plane will do at max two island hops before it flies the 6 hours back to mainland and gets plenty of cooling time, e.g., LAX -> Honolulu -> Hilo -> Honolulu -> LAX.
That's fair, but given that it makes the other issues worse I think it's a valid concern to raise.
Lot of schools no longer put emphasis on SAT/ACT scores. So yeah that’s basically what they did.

I looked into it a bit, and it seems that you probably need to be a benefit corporation or L3C to qualify for certification. For example, here's what they say for US/Deleware/Corporation on their legal requirement page [0]:

> Your company can meet the legal requirement for B Corp Certification by electing public benefit corporation status...

I am very much not a lawyer, but they go on to say existing corporations can transition to PBC status with a majority vote. I wonder whether the reverse is true. If so, there's no legal hurdle to pulling the same bait and switch you describe with a benefit corporation.

People have died at theme parks, and just as relevantly at local fairs because people aren't "tightening the damn bolts" and because parks didn't hire engineers. How many elevators skip on maintenance and inspection during Covid.

Only a few states have roadworthiness inspections of vehicles; and Tesla autopilot may have driven into a truck; Or we could talk about texting while driving and drunk driving that endanger others, yet 60%/30% of Americans admit to it regularly, while 30k people die.
Alright, prior SCOTUS had a more democratic balance, and at a minimum ruled more often than now in fairly tenuous ways in favor of progressive ideals. The end result was stuff I liked more than what they rule today, but them having voted in my camp doesn't mean I believe it was the right thing.

I think when the status quo requires on someone's stretched interpretation of a series of things, and this status quo is very important to people, it's on lawmakers to make the rules unambiguous.
Oh, sure, next time I talk about a project, you can make sure to extend it to anybody involved too. You can even extend it to a country or some other random group; it's a proven way to spice the discussion.

I don't have a deep understanding enough to have a strong opinion on this but don't the roles seem reversed? It's my understanding that Asian people are underrepresented at Harvard due to affirmative action. The photos I've seen for this story feature Asian people protesting the decision. Is this a case of people coming together against their own interests to protest a decision they think is unfair? It feels too political for me to get a sense of what is right here.
In the long run, since colleges are still free to consider race though writings, isn't this what you would want to see in a healing society? We understand that the pendulum should swing in the direction of helping the underserved and once that footing is there, the goal is always to be agnostic of race. This seems like a baby step to see if the affirmative action worked. Is there something that has happened since the 60s that indicates this should last forever or that the program was reaching it's goals?

The runtime it ran on was ~8 engineers, including all drivers, board bring ups, custom file system, everything.

Small teams can do amazing things, but they rely on good leadership and on every member on the team being able to pull their own weight. We had 1 person design+code the entire file system, and as you mention, that put the bus factor at 1.

I'm sort of a Can Haz All The Tables sort of guy, and I'm largely processing via awk (and a few other shell tools). So pasting that here would get a bit tedious...

It's also been interesting to look at how HN has, and hasn't, changed over the years. Your categorical analysis would be an interesting filter to look at over time, especially regarding accusations that HN is drifting in various directions.

The other bit that stands out to me is how constrained a set the front page is (30 slots per day, 10,950 per year, 10,980 in a leap year), as well as how thin submission titles are for gleaning meaning and context (I'm ... somewhat frustrated by this). Though there is clearly signal that gets through.

I don't have time-of-day granularity, but can look at day-of-week (and have) and month-of-year (not yet) looking for seasonality. DoW has been interesting (usually peaks Tue/Wed, starts trailing off on Fri, Sat & Sun are low points, based on votes/comments, but give higher odds of a given submission landing).

You might want to look at Whaly's work as well (I'd edited it into my larger top-level comment above: <https://whaly.io/posts/hacker-news-2021-retrospective>).
Asians do have a general leg up in terms of family income (which correlates to education success), so if we were discriminating based on income, then we could come up with something fair that gives poorer people (which can act as a proxy for disadvantaged minorities) more opportunity, but at the expense of rich people since we don't have unlimited resources. The problem being that now you are denied getting into Harvard because your mom and dad are too rich...and I don't think many people would think that is fair either.

Biggest issue with MAUI imo is the lack of a Linux desktop option, wether a wrapper over GTK, QT or whatever. There's been some effort, but MS is pretty much willfully ignoring it. Not that Linux desktop is huge, but it's approaching half of where OSX is and given the early adopter focus is for Developer, it's IMO a massive miss.

Cross-platform desktop apps, should at least cover Windows, OSX and Linux (appImage/Flatpak) as a baseline. Avalonia works well enough, but MAUI just muddied the waters. With the massive efforts towards web-ui in general, it's really not surprising that many devs/shops are just shrinkwrapping with Electron. Even if there are far lighter options for embedded browser usage of the system's browser engine. In the end, the state of desktop apps sucks all around.
I have D code I wrote back in 2008 that still works fine today.

That said, there are often small breakages scattered around and it can be annoying. If it is your own code, you spend the 5-10 minutes to update it (with some exceptions, the last couple months have been particularly bad, most aren't like that though). But if it is someone else's code and you have to wait for them to update it then push a new version tag, and cascade through the dependency list, that can suck.

of course dependencies suck so you get what you pay for lol

Sort of. For std::unordered_map there are two types of memory allocation, there's a table, of pointers, and then there are nodes, which themselves have a pointer to a next node if any, forming a "chain".

The table is indeed grown exponentially as you describe. If you tell std::unordered_map that you expect 10000 entries using reserve, it will calculate how big it would expect to grow a table for 10000 entries and make it that size immediately.

The nodes however are created when you insert data. Even though you called reserve, it is an allocation each time you insert to make space for the new node.

If you used a Swiss table (e.g. from Abseil) the reserve behaves more as a person might expect, it will allocate a data structure big enough to insert at least 10 000 entries successfully, and no further allocations are needed unless you keep going.
We had a huge project with about 20 devs that went on for a year and a half. We brought in a bunch of consultants. The leads basically spent all day herding cats, and all night coding. We all agreed we probably could have done it in half the time with just the 5 leads.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I didn't mean to imply that languages with formal verification are inherently worse than those without it. To the contrary, if a language would have formal verification in addition to all the features and an ecosystem of a modern language, I would gladly use it.

Purely anecdotal, but I used to drink insane amounts of aspartame in the form of Crystal Lite. I don't know what that's made of now, but decades ago it was made with aspartame, and I'd guzzle gallons upon gallons of that stuff because it could be mixed with tap water and was therefore cheaper than buying drinks in cans. Maybe in the long term it will cause my butt to fall off in my 60s, IDK, but if aspartame causes cancer, then it must be incredibly weak given the unglodly amounts I was consuming on a daily basis.

Today, I'd still avoid aspartame, but also sucralose, because it's unnecessary and may even cause insulin to be artificially raised in response to the sweetness. And I also just don't drink nearly as much as I used to now that I'm metabolically healthy.
