As a father of two daughters, I have to say conscription of young women is a barbaric logical outcome of egalitarian ideology. Perhaps in modern militaries there are less brutal work environments where 'sexism' could still come into play by providing differing roles for men and women - but that would already break the purity of the original conclusion.

Sure, for the sake of argument, if women and men are no different at all they should both be forced to go to the front lines in Ukraine and die for their country. I for one say men and women are different enough that conscription should work differently for them. I guess I'm sexist then!
I think the colored wax buckets were sitting in a tray full of warm water. Maybe even with the small warming burners underneath like how catering folks do it.
This could be a good use of HN's polling system [1]. To answer your question I would not and if required to use it I would make a serious attempt to block or spoof it make it think it's sending data to the right place.

>Your assumption seems to be that people's political preferences fall on a single dimension dictated by the Establishment's Overton Window

There are many dimensions, from healthcare to social security to immigration to wealth redistribution to law and order to "backing the blue" to the military to taxes, and on all of them Bernie is the absolutely diametric opposite of Trump. The idea that if Bernie were the candidate people would switch their vote from Trump to Bernie is simply preposterous, and I am in awe that anyone actually fell for this. On the flip side if Bernie were the candidate it would have been incredibly easy for the right to fear-monger and denigrate.

And regarding the definitions of left and right, clearly this is in the context of the US.

>What's more likely? That many right-wingers simply like Sanders, or that thousands of them got together and decided to, against all of their instincts, fake enthusiasm in public in order to own-the-libs?

You surely realize that "loving the adversary of my most potent adversary" (e.g. the enemy of my enemy is my friend) is like a fundamental human trait, right? That it is seen across society, for the duration of mankind's existence. From geopolitics, to sports, to billionaires and MMA matches. This is a foundational human trait.

The "right" tends to be more engaged and ego-attached to politics, so their machinations in this regard tend to be much, much louder.
Completely agree on jr devs being net-negative! The cost however is far more than the PR itself (onboarding, fixing their environment, helping understand how react hooks work and so on).

With GitStart, we take everything else away entirely (dev envs, preview links, mentorship, trainings etc), with strong processes to make sure PRs are heavily reviewed internally with solid QA before its pushed upstream. I think this drastically reduces cost of working with juniors to the point that its “profitable”

Right now it’s not for everyone, especially for companies where there not enough motivation internally to craft good tickets or having enough backlog thats critical enough to make use of GitStart.

Now everything aside, we actually have seen cases where devs internally grow within, apply to our customers and become full time hires! We dont bind our devs at all to join our customers directly and instead celebrate it when it happens!
> It’s astounding to me that Americans accept this constant death and destruction as part of a transportation system.

Just to be explicit-- do you think the impending growth of self-driving vehicles (as they are currently implemented) over the next decade will a) add to this constant death and destruction or b) subtract from it?
I don’t hate the US. I love living here. I think fewer of its citizens should die in car crashes and that more should be able to achieve their full career potential.

Regarding free college, I think a good system would have high standards for graduation and low penalties for failure. This is the system currently afforded to rich people in the US, who can afford multiple tries at good schools without being saddled with lifelong debt. We should extend this ability to more people. I love Americans, they have enormous potential, but so many of them get shunted off to unsatisfying, low productivity careers because a few bad circumstances or choices push them off the very narrow golden path
> Why won’t you show me the street name?

This is my biggest gripe. I get the annoying ad stuff, it is a free service after all. But why do I have to scroll and pinch zoom for 2min trying to find a streetname? And sometimes it just doesnt show up.

Isn't that the most important part of a map?
Yeah, Google's top three revenue sources are ads, ads, and ads. (Respectively search, network, and YouTube.) Their customers are advertisers. Chrome's job (and Android's) is to make sure they retain control of sufficient surface area to place ads. Chrome user opinion to them is important to their business in about the same way meatpackers care about what cattle think of the design of the feeding stations. As long as they keep coming to eat, it's just mooing.
I don't understand how they extracted the key from the HSM. How is this even possible - the vendor of the HSM should be named!
I'll buck the trend here and agree with you. It's great that this family has a heartwarming story, but ideally circumstances shouldn't be so bad to begin with that we celebrate the rare and extraordinary occasion of escaping those circumstances.
Huh. Interesting. Grease in kingmaker is probably the most powerful early game spell. I would think this translates to Baldurs gate too. Not so much in real world dnd where there will be fewer enemies and more theatre of mind.

Making it flammable sounds very powerful.

This is a thread mode on reddit where answers to a post are hidden by default and scores are masked. I'm not sure how efficient it is at limiting petty internet fights though.
>The trouble is that we are using base 10 literals together with base 2 numbers.

Now that is a really dumb ask. Surely designing computers around the numbers of finger we have for no reason is insane. Again, b=10 DOES NOT FIX FLOATS. It has the exact same problems.

>Personally I think Cantor's phony numbers suck

Personally I think they are the greatest description of the continuum.

>I wish Steve Wolfram would grow some balls and reject the axiom of choice.

Yes. Really looking forwards to such hits as "you can't split the continuum" and "points do not exist", contradicting 100% of human intuition.
Isn't this one of those game theory scenarios? Some labs could profit by not announcing replication, but others could by announcing it as quickly as possible? Thus not all labs will behave the same way, unless they are all colluding which seems unlikely.

I don't see how that is ridiculous. Are you suggesting that if it was Bernie vs Biden from day 1 that Bernie would have won? Bernie never polled well enough for that, so you're suggesting a wildly different counter factual.
I really want to try VFIO and ditch my windows install completely but I'm worried about anti cheats. Nice to hear there are steps you can take...

Philosophically and ethically and technically speaking, telemetry that happens automatically without first obtaining informed consent from the user being surveilled (i.e. so-called "opt-out telemetry") is equivalent to spyware.

Gain over incident laser energy, but not over total input energy. Still two orders of magnitude to go, based on 300MJ inputs. Not gonna happen.

Laser inertial confinement is a commercial dead end. It's only continued as an inertial funding exercise, reusing nuclear weapon simulation facilities long after supercomputers took over the modelling.
Without getting into politically sensitive specifics, I have a friend (offline and on) who for years believed that the attitudes offline were radically different from what they were, based on their experiences online. Then they'd run into the offline reality and become genuinely upset, thinking that they were just surrounded by awful people. In the end they moved to a place they believed would be more accepting, only to find pretty much identical attitudes.

All because they slowly, over years, curated their online experience to the point that they truly believed it reflected some real offline. I'm not a HUGE fan of stand up comedy, but the line, "Twitter isn't a real place" is something people need to fully internalize.
Let's double check your logic against the current VC system:

Sounds like this would be a good system to have a bunch of idealistic developers work on business problems - which are often boring and require painful work such as talking to people.

This doesn't sound like a good system to encourage developers to work on pet tech projects.

You've articulated the main criticism of the status quo. That by its nature de-prioritizes the idealism that produces unicorns. Never mind the effects of that on dreamers who find it difficult to subsist in a stifling world that wasn't designed for them. This is why I feel that this is a dark future at odds with the original spirit of the web. But hey, it makes some people billions of dollars and all it cost us was the life we might have had.
I think an issue people have is they believe they are good at solving problems which they then think they can do minimal research on something and will be able to solve problems in that domain.

I've spent my career building web based software for solving business problems. That doesn't translate at all to solving anything that qualifies as a problem for the world or humanity. I don't intend on changing my career trajectory at this point, I'm fine with solving these types of problems for the money it pays. This doesn't mean I don't care about big/important problems just that my contributions to those will be small in nature based on my personal time/money.
Many things which are "toxic" can be perfectly tolerable or even necessary at certain amounts.

Some things are just truly toxic at any amount and are not good to have any amount in your body.

Your body uses Chlorine atoms in its normal processes all the time. Its essential in the function of your digestive system, the nervous system uses it to transmit electrical impulses, muscles use it to contract and extend, and facilitates the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside cells. Without chlorine, you just wouldn't function: your muscles wouldn't move, your heart wouldn't pump, your brain wouldn't think.

Lead is similar enough to calcium and zinc to displace it when your body makes proteins, but it doesn't "fold" the same. This causes the proteins to be less functional or non-functional, which causes a lot of further problems down the line. Also, because lead sometimes replaces calcium your body will stash it away in your bones which can make it tricky to actually get rid of.
That's definitely what I'm going to do in the future.

Obviously, the real reason why they do this is so that FedEx can get in on that millions-upon-millions of dollars in convention center shipments (as you know, convention centers charge thousands of dollars for literally everything, even wifi or bottles of water.)
I know, and these are real issues.

But sometimes I talk to (born) Canadians - I’m an immigrant here - and they think of these issues as overwhelming, unsolvable crises that fundamentally undermine the viability of Canada as a nation.

And I think this isn’t a good problem-solving mindset, and isn’t the correct perspective either.

Or maybe I totally overinterpret their level of exasperation.

I think VCs generally have a problem with the pool they fish from.

If you're a shady operator, trying to get VC money is basically a no-brainer. If you're a legit operator, then the odds are pretty good that you're going to intentionally avoid trying to get VC money unless your venture is of a specific type.

So I speculate that the pool that VCs are fishing in contains a much higher percentage of sketchy people than the general population.
Does serial polygamy still count as polygamy? Doesn’t scale as well but achieves a similar effect up to a point.
I do think it's slavery too. Especially because as a soldier you have no rights and you have to follow orders barked at you by most likely less intelligent people just because they have a few stripes on their shoulder.

We still had conscription in the Netherlands when I was young but luckily I got a medical disqualification.
You can get one with a plenty good enough action for $150-$200. The important part is to know what you are looking for.

Nice, appreciated the breakdown in the blog post!
Imagine, for example, there's a really interesting scientific paper someone would love to talk about but it's in the field of Climate Science. Everyone knows the comments a blog post on it is going to get. And they're (almost) all going to be the same no matter what the paper is actually about. Every time.

Should someone feel they have to self-censor just to avoid this?
I think the author here is prioritizing simplicity of deployments above all else, because he realizes time is money. The amount of time to build something VS paying to use an off the shelf item is an important decision to make, and I think the author made good decisions across the board

The author does come across more as a business/operations person first, developer second. Most developers would not consider tools like ahrefs or intercom or even realize that marketing is generally more difficult/important than the develpment work itself

Relatively speaking even at all these costs I would consider this to be frugal. If your a skilled developer you would easily be worth at least $100/hr

Taking off the shelf solutions with easy scalability of services for adding additional people operationally is important

Up/down vote systems, especially ones that punish the poster quickly by rendering their post unreadable, create a hivemind of people who agree. HN posters LOVE to point out the fact it's "not like Reddit" when, in fact, it is. If you say something factual but disagreeable with the current zeitgeist of HN (usually mid-to-far-left social policy) you will be met with downvotes. Even a small amount begins to add up until eventually your account is auto-dead (shadowbanned). This is especially bad because each downvote is not required to have a retort. Since the downvoter is not subject to the same rules it can happen freely and without consequence. New accounts are most susceptible to this. It's often better to post extremely agreeable, astroturfed, opinions just to collect enough internet points to protect you from driveby downvoting later.

The result is a hivemind no different than Reddit. People here are just as afraid to post their opinions on language/framework/policy as they are on Reddit. None of these rules matter because the assailant (downvoter) can do what they do best without consequence. At least in a meatspace debate/talk/whatever the disagreeing party must reveal themselves to make a case.
I don't know, I think there are some exceptions to this. It's very difficult to play dumb when a friend confides in you about their concerns getting an IUD in certain political landscapes. During the height of covid, more than one asian friend asked me to be around them in public due to the rise of anti-asian sentiment in my country, and it would've been wildly inappropriate for me to play dumb then. Most recently more than one non-feminine woman friend have asked me for the same due to anti-transgender rhetoric (I've had one confide in me a harrowing experience getting harassed by someone assuming she was transgender... she's just skinny with a short haircut).

Sure. GrapheneOS is the Android system with a huge amount of removed bullshit baked in, which provide all the meaningful privacy changes needed for a better mobile phone.

The point is to abandon Google in every way that is reasonably possible. I obviously don't see much of a difference with Apple, nor Microsoft. What options remain that are reasonable in the effort applied and remain plausible in a competitive world? My answer was GrapheneOS. Yours is?
Ah. In that case, not really the "space" I'm referring to. Was really asking if there's any other non-self-hosted competitors to these services out there?
I assumed it meant no cost at the point of consumption. Because it’s a government agency I assumed it’s funded by tax money.

Probably reduce deaths if the deployed systems are sufficiently capable. This may be offset somewhat by an increase in miles travelled as driving becomes easier.

JPEG is 30 years old so we need something more modern (better compression, less visual artifacts, web optimized, etc...). There already was a plan to change it with JPEG 2000, but it failed, obviously, as we still use jpegs.

Now several formats are competing, most notably AVIF (which is basically just single AV1 video compressed frame) and JPEG XL. JPEG XL might be slightly better in some cases (as AVIF is based on a video codec) and most importantly it's backwards compatible with JPEG. So this means we can re-encode 30 years of JPEGs to JPEG XL without image degradation. Having a wide support would help immensely to make the format standard as otherwise everybody will just continue to use JPEGs. Google is somewhat against this as they already have support for AV1 and thus don't need to maintain a separate codec for JPEG XL.
There are so many things collecting telemetry, nobody has the capacity to understand the data-points and business use case of every piece of software they interact with. There are two practical options:

The term depends on use.

Physical property is either borrowed, owned, sold, and so on.

If your spouse takes your car to work without your knowledge it's borrowed.
If they take it and sell it without consent it's theft.

Same applies to data. But data is electrons and as such it can't be moved, it is "copied". So technically speaking you are right, but practically you are not. If you steal NBC's prerelease movie then that's theft. As is copying it without constent. Once you pay for it you can copy it from their servers to your device. But you can't copy it to someone else's machine.

It is on our roadmap to properly integrate DCO on the platform, as its a hard blocker for all repos under the linux foundation. We already add each devs that touches the PR internally as co-author now

The problem lies in the definition that “committer most NOT be an organization” which would require us to do a full review of our legal contract with devs so that this condition is upheld properly
> Recently on Mastodon I complained about some gross terminology that I’d just noticed in the dig man page. A few dudes in the replies asked me to prove that the original author intended it to be offensive (which of course is besides [sic] the point) or tried to explain to me why it actually wasn’t a problem.

> So I blocked a few people and wrote a quick post:

Of course I understand no responsibility to 'prove' anything and can guess the comments weren't written well - but I think there may be a genuine misunderstanding and miscommunication here, or maybe it's even a BrE/AmE thing, because 'to grope' around for something (often blindly in the dark or similar) isn't at all sexual, typically not even an animate thing you'd be groping for (e.g. a light switch) - and I'm fairly certain that that usage isn't by analogy to sexual assault.

Or am I just repeating what's 'besides the point'? I don't think it is, words can have multiple meanings, be used in foul ways, but still be usable fairly and legitimately. 'I coloured in a picture' isn't 'gross'? My 'garden hoe' is fine?
