I remember this Twitter thread and, as someone from the south, I was bemused that the defenders of the US mostly talked about restaurants rather than barbecue. Also how few people made fun of France for how much they love their (catastrophic) version of the taco.
tbh I'm glad, not sure about patching in an extra magic keyword with it's own set of new properties to achieve one specific layout pattern popularized by a jQuery lib in css grid module.

It would have been much cleaner to add "auto-span" utility to grid-column and grid-row that allow to define "overflow snapping" if items are larger than template definitions, with an option for grid-auto-flow to affect packing logic

This draft feels like it's solving a single use case by stacking presets over the grid api instead of exposing tools to achieve that use case
This is true for most employers in the US. Nevertheless, most employers would rather help an employee (especially one whose situation is temporary) to succeed, because hiring and onboarding is way more effort than getting a previously good employee back to where they can perform well again.

But, once a point of no return has definitively been reached, I think it’s best for both sides to not drag out the separation with a checkbox PIP or other theatrics. Pay the employee a reasonable severance and separate quickly. (I’ve seen genuine PIPs succeed and result in long-term continued employment; theatrical, check-the-box for legal/HR PIPs are cruel and wasteful.)
How I avoided management for 25 years
It's very surprising how little we know as to why people don't get kids, since almost every single common idea is wrong to some degree.

* We don't get a baby boom after a war (any country whove been to war)

* not from good housing (japan and Singapore have really good housing)

* not from conservative traditionalist religious society (most of eastern Europe and Russia).

The exception is extreme impoverishment and religious society, both if which are not sustainable.

It's why the baby boom of the 1940s should be studied like no tomorrow, since it's the exception to the rule in almost every country.

For instance in Sweden the biggest reason to not get kids is that people don't feel ready or haven't experienced the world enough.

At this point I just don't know what can be done beyond growing babies in labs and pay huge sums to incentive people to donate sperm/eggs.
Wasn't it also Hillary Clinton's emails that had DKIM and they denied that they wrote any of them? If that were the case it would mean someone has full access to that email system for years and sent all those emails through it.
People outsource their critical thinking all the time, but with computers the failures are more egregious. There is less recourse to correct things, and information propagating through systems can make the error more persistent. Also: people take the verdict from a computer as a given even when reality and computer disagree.

I've used this story a couple of times before on HN, and if it hadn't happened to mother's coworker, I would have thought it a preposterous joke. Mom's colleague was buying something during her lunch break, and had her card rejected. Got the same result in another store, so obviously thought her card had just broken.

Went to her local bank branch to ask what's wrong. The clerk took the card, looked up from her screen and against the evidence in front of eyes declared: "You are dead." Once that kind of flag starts to make its way through our computerised systems, it is very difficult to reverse. It took several weeks to get the error corrected, and in the meanwhile other systems that trusted the bank as a source of truth had picked up the information and started to apply it to their accounts.

Eventually it came to light that a full namesake's estate had had their accounts finally closed, and the clerk doing that had done only a name search when applying the "account terminated, owner deceased" flag to the accounts. Bank never took responsibility for their process failure. They fought for a good time to even have to accept that there had been an error in the first place.

Which incidentally is not entirely unlike the situation in this perversion of justice.
There's already plenty of affirmative action being taken. We have black history month everywhere now, minorities are getting much better representation in the media. Please don't pretend nothing positive is happening and we have to change master to main at all cost or all hope is lost. Also, this is predominantly American problem but it's shoved down our throats here in Europe like our "wealth" was built on the back of slaves.

I'm Polish, can you imagine how ridiculous this is becoming from our perspective?
In Digital Ocean, S3-like space keys can access all your buckets
S3 (and similar storages) have caused plenty of security issues in several occasions (usually because of misconfigured buckets, making all contents available to the public). Given this, it would be expected that companies would pay a bit more attention to the security of these data storage methods.

However, in Digital Ocean, by design, you can't restrict keys to certain buckets. Once you issue a key, it can access all buckets within your project, with all operations (list, read, delete) files.

The issue has been reported and is known for a long time. It's even the top voted "idea" in the company portal.

Posting this here in hopes to bring awareness of this issue.
This is contrary to the principle of presumed innocence. This is presumed guilt. The burden should always be on the prosecution to prove guilt, and if that requires the prosecution to prove the correctness of hardware, models, software, or data, then that is what should be required. And if the prosecution cannot prove the legitimacy of evidence, then than evidence should be disallowed.

The standard does not have to be beyond all doubt. The standard is fine at beyond reasonable doubt. If the prosecution can replicate consistent evidence for and against the defendant using the same computer systems with simulated data, then that is probably enough to clear reasonable doubt.

But the burden of proof should absolutely always be on the party wishing to use "evidence" to take someone else's property, freedom, or life.

Assuming it's right is assuming guilt. That is the wrong principle.

Who wants to buy a middle class game, when you have more daily deals on high quality games then you can ever finish in your free time?

It seems to ignore that the distribution channels, the long term availability, the international access, dont have an influence on how to release and monetize a game. The few examples shown are some of the extremely few, very lucky projects that probably made money.

Same here! Solid wood furniture, despite being more expensive and considerably heavier, is just so much nicer. You can cut into them to modify them, you can sand them down and refinish them, and they don't turn to scrap as soon as someone dings it or god forbid you tighten a screw too hard..

An extra component to the whole thing is fire safety. Compared to proper wood furniture these fiber- and cardboard pieces are much more flammable. It's to the point where fire departments are considering new guidelines for leaving burning buildings because the time to raging fire has been shortened so much by modern furniture and fabrics.
We have "one or two" in Greek as well. It is commonly understood to mean any small number, like "a couple", but can be much larger if the thing typically comes in large numbers. If you say "I want one or two chillies", you would expect to get five or ten, not one or two.
That's not a serious problem nowadays. Problems of monopolistic control is like a drop in a lake of water compared to the problems that our lawmakers cause by ridiculously high taxes and bureaucracy. If we're trying to fight monopolies today, we're fighting completely the wrong problems.

Competition doesn't succeed because of taxes. Tearing down Amazon or Google due to reasons of monopoly (and therefore little competition) is like tearing down a newly built building because there was a bad paint job on one of the walls! It doesn't make sense. If there are no other buildings standing, it's because lawmakers don't create an environment where others can succeed (because of taxes and bureaucracy).

We look at Amazon (for example), and say hey, they're really successful, and they're sort of alone, they must have cheated by using monopolistic control measurements, and then we search to find out how. But all alone we miss the real problems: it's the taxes and bureaucracy that don't let others succeed.
Does anyone have a clue why Booking is not paying since many months? Their revenues are growing, and claim to have technical issues with processing the payments. But to me it sounds strange that a critical technical issue with payments needs many months to fix. Any insights?
30-hour is qn "epic" game? If a game provides lese than 100 hours of fun then it should be called junk imho. Aim for that "middle" if you want, but i wont buy your game.

A developer that cranks out a dozen little games will inevitably rely on trickery and deceptive marketing in order to convince consumers thier games are worth anything. Most of the games i play are from a developer dedicated to the continued improvement of a single title across many years. Factorio, subnautica, prison architect ... such games take focus. Entire careers can be dedictated to improving a single game (minecraft). The modern indi market demands long term commitment, not fly-by-night studios attempting is get in and out in months Among Trees burned many bridges with indi gamers willing to buy into games early.

Or you can develop mobile games powered by addiction and microtransactions. I guess that is a "market" too.

Enable -Werror for the reproducible builds, leave it off for the rest. That should solve most of it.

The biggest and rather frustrating issue left is that warnings are heavily tool depended, not just in that new tools will produce new warnings, but in that different tools will produce incompatible warning. The workaround that makes the warning go away in one tool, will create a warning in the other. You can end up with a lengthy back&forth before you find something that makes all the tools happy and you frequently run into situation were you are really just pleasing the tools, not fixing any actual issues.

>how the X company could have been the next Apple/IBM/Microsoft if it weren't for evil/corrupt/incompetent politicians //

Surely it's the other way around, companies only get this big and powerful by abusing their power, and probably politicians helping them (if only to boost a private share portfolio) instead of adding for the people?

So if your political system works (applies morality to business, favours the demos over corporate power) you're not going to get these sorts of mega-corporations. Not sure if IBM fit that category, but Apple and Microsoft seem to.

I treat all relationships the same. Every new person naturally finds its place in my life. Some become friends, some become business partners, and some become significant others. Dating apps force you to slot people before you've even met them and I don't like it.

Roughly speaking:

- Work in public. I have met a lot of people through the work I do (see my profile). All sorts of good relationships have come out of that. Being open, friendly and generous with my time has helped a lot.

- Be genuine. Join communities as a sincere participant. Don't join a community to hit on its members. Everyone hates that.

- Be open. I have taken to inviting interesting internet strangers to meet, and had a lot of success with it. If I enjoy people, I actively reach out to them. Most people are friendly, just a little busy.
I only ever listen to audio on my phone through my headphones (no exaggregation, 100% of time during last 5 years). I guess in case of an emergency I won't have time to connect them before the call. I also don't use facetime. So for me the GP remark is certainly true.

And how can we forget the war that MS waged against Linux for many years, and the copyright lawsuits brought by SCO, partly financed by MS?
So ... stop for a moment and think about where we could be in terms of software and operating systems if some actors (all from the same country) didn't keep trying to kill the competition with unfair tactics in order to continue selling one of the worst operating systems ever created and the main vehicle for all the viruses, malware and ransomware.

> “Your hatespew of China is designed to deflect from actual reflection of the crimes of your own state, which are vast and not ignorable”

I’m a citizen of Finland. I’m certainly very interested to hear about those vast crimes perpetuated from this nowhere corner of Europe.

If I defend the American system in this context, it’s only because to me it objectively appears fundamentally better than the Chinese one.

I lived in New York for some years and enjoyed it. In contrast, I would never consider moving my family to Shanghai while the CCP rules the country. I wouldn’t feel safe there.
You are describing the exact same experience people who arent programmers have with software. It usually working and being almost always problems with the user.

It also leads to the same horrible misjudgements as in the article mentioned above. If you dont know what to look for you will come to erroneous convictions by ruling out the error cases you do know.
> Why?

Because that's what people do. One of the big reasons that build open source software is to have fun and work together with other hobbyists, some of each don't even write software professionally at all. If you want to have fun with open source you really want to keep things simple and keep the entry barrier low. Otherwise, it'll just feel like an unpaid job.
No one is saying we shouldn't look into shady nonsense from banks.

However banks aren't directly responsible for encouraging you to consume diabetes can. heart attack crisps or cancer sticks

Hence why we push more for regulation against these industries thar are directly responsible while leaving financial watch dogs to look into banks for now.
I really don't, but this is my belief as someone who has extensive experience with cigarette culture and has thought about it. You are free to disregard my opinion based on this fact, but I will still contend that if someone only smoked 1-4 cigarettes a day, then there's a reasonable likelihood (though less than 100%) that they wouldn't have any serious resultant health issues.

(edit - and it's my belief that emphysema/COPD is the most serious risk of chronic smoking, where basically the lungs just wear out.)
I can't do that. I can somewhat remember what a die is supposed to look like, but I have no image of it whatsoever. It's a very abstract memory, like say I "imagine"it with a 6 on top. Then I know logically there are 2 times 3 dots, but I can't even get an image of that, even trying to think of it makes me lose all other parts of the die.
I'm like you. It's called aphantasia. But to this day, I still wonder if we are really different from most people or it's just that most people are more lenient in using words like "seeing", "mind's eye", etc. in a highly metaphorical sense.

There seems to be no external measurable manifestation or consequence (contrary to what some people might think, I can answer questions about hypothetical spatial rotations, etc. just fine. I don't visualize and rotate the object, but I sort of imagine the "concept" of the object and can rotate such "concept". It's just that the process for me doesn't involve "seeing" anything). So it's hard to know to what extent the difference is real.
This sort of thing is already stocked by the UN (and various charities) and ready to transport out at a moment's notice.

> How do you think they were able to access your private SSH key by simply having your laptop join their wifi?

I don't know. I assume it's possible, I thought you could get hacked over open wifi? Anyway, but how would it be done do you think?

If it's only MITM then perhaps SSH keys were not compromised. But I didn't take that chance. I just changed everything.
nice :D - huge fan of the show
There seems to be a certain subset of the HN population that thinks they can get away with attributing an indefensible statement to others who didn't make it, and try to challenge them on it, but those folks shouldn't be treated seriously, just like Don Quixote shouldn't be treated seriously in his fight against windmills.
That's silly. 15 years ago, China celebrated finally being able to domestically make a ball point pen. Why?

Because the steel ball needs to be a perfect sphere, and no one in China could produce such finely honed materials prior to then.

Computer chips were impossible 100 years ago, for many of the same reasons, and the chips we make today, impossible to manufacture 20 years ago.

If something has value, and would this ever have value!!, trillions will be spent, over 20 years, making it cheap to do.

And those improvements in manufacturing capabilities will spread through all otger industries, the entire ecosystem improving itself over and over.

Because that's how it's worked, always. Put another way, if required, we'll do a solve.

Because that's what we humans do.
> There's no right to make infinite money off the Internet.

I like this a lot. Google is massively profitable. The only argument in favor of continue to extract every cent they can off the market, is that we have a fiction of perpetual, constant growth. It should be 100% okay for a company to say “we’re super profitable, we’re going to tone it down now and focus on making our services better”.
Well I mean, it's not like anyone told me they were hacking stuff. I'm probably just over reacting, or misreading it. Strictly speaking I think it's prudent to keep an open mind until it's definitively proven with evidence, but my current take is what I've said here.

This was at the point in time where I was developing BrowserBox and doing demos but had not released the code publicly.

Of course the output would be better, but it's not even remotely required to have such training data.

Spending hundreds of thousands training an AI model to generate CSAM sounds like a terrible way to smuggle it across the world. You could feasibly add hidden activation keywords to enable CSAM generation mode without the public noticing, but you could also just put an encrypted file in a model exported as .pickle and it would take years before anyone notices.
And a "handful" is always five ... or more if you are going for the more american "what can be carried in the hand" definition.

Few and many also depend on context. "So few people voted last election" could mean 20,000,000 people, whereas "Many supreme court justices believe..." could refer to only four people.

And the phone will report you to the police if the algorithm marks any local photos as ones reported by the police using a "neural hash", which has a non-zero amount of hash collisions.

The rapid growth of the software industry is both the reason for the unsalvageable mess and for companies being able to spend obscene amounts of money to somehow keep shit together. At least that's how I feel about it.
There aren't meaningful gaps in software quality here, most of the "American" services and sites are half built by European workers anyway. There aren't competitors for a bunch of reasons, but the far more restrictive EU laws around speech are a big one. Europeans don't actually like or support those laws which is why they then flock to platforms that aren't so beholden to them.
> Sigh. Yes, but here on Planet Earth, a lot of legacy code was (irresponsibly) written under the assumption that the contemporary compilers wouldn't change their behavior in the future.

Why aren't they using the old version of the compiler? Keep your unoptimized, ill-formed code if you want, while everyone else can benefit from the newest features. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Either you want to use the new stuff and you'll have to adapt your code, or you don't want the new stuff and you can keep using your code as is.
> also, how do you think hackers are trained?

I don't know, but I thought they started as "script kiddies" at about age 12 before growing into full size hackers.

Which requires that tech be available widely enough that 12 year old kids can get unsupervised access to it.
Because cameras don't exist, right?

Unless you're crafting some revolutionary problem for each candidate, changing details won't matter much.
When it’s easy to fire, it’s also easy to hire.

The amount of agonizing we do before extending a permanent contract in the Netherlands is somewhat higher than in the US. It’s way higher still in Germany. It would be even higher in France, if we ever did that.

Employment protections do favor those who pass the hurdle to become employed; they also act as a hurdle that needs to be overcome to get to the place where they’re helpful.
> I feel like right-to-left requires you to think to the end of a line before you start typing anything at all
