I briefly entertained the notion that I was fired and my ssh keys revoked. But I still had access to slack and email etc, so I banished that thought.
It's also a delta being put alongside the absolute US population
I'm not the original poster, but I ran into something similar late in Win 7 (Win 8 was in beta at the time). We had some painting software, and we used open-MP to work on each scan-line of a brush in parallel.

It worked fine on Mac. On Windows though, if you let it use as many threads as there were CPUs, it would nearly 100% of the time fail before making it through our test suite. Something in scheduling the work would deadlock. It was more likely to fail if anything was open besides the app. Basically, a brush stoke that should complete in a tenth of a second would stall. If you waited 30-60 minutes (yes minutes), it would recover and continue.

I vaguely recall we used the Intel compiler implementation of OpenMP, not what comes with MSVC, so the fault wasn't necessarily a Microsoft issue, but could still be a kernel issue.

I left that company later that year, and MS rolled out Windows 8. No idea how long that bug stuck around.
No, that argument assumes you can only blame 1 thing at a time.

Even if the bureaucracy is the worst offender, every foreigner buying a house still results in 1 less house for Spaniards.

Sure, fix bureaucracy, but don't pretend foreign purchases have zero effect.
> Nobody was pushing hard on worker protections or labor law enforcement - not cool enough, but affects a big fraction of the population.

I don't think this statement is fair. There has been unionization effort across the country throughout the years.

The difference is that corporate media is often very comfortable boosting ideas such as racial justice, but not class consciousness.

Left strategy appears to be terrible is imo because neither party is left wing. There is simply no place in the current political landscape for a labor party/wing to address the issue for the big fraction of the population you mentioned. The republicans pretends to address it, the (majority) democrats dance around it.
Land is a public good, insofar as "buying" the land still comes with obligations to the state (paying taxes, conforming to building codes and zoning regulation, etc). Just because you "own" it doesn't actually mean you can do as you please.

Given all of that, it is not unreasonable to limit or outright prohibit foreign ownership of land, or ownership of land by companies which are not majority-locally controlled.
He's saying the company could rent the building to the owner of the company.
Importantly, corn syrup is not the same thing as HFCS either. They’re different things (and HFCS is sweeter, too).
If my using the same rhetorical devices as you annoys you, maybe consider how you come across to others? Phrases like "roving bands of thought police" make you sound like a child, and makes it easy to dismiss your opinion out of hand.
fine. "actual" owner, "ultimate beneficial owner", etc.
> Picture going into a restaurant, and before the hostess seats you she says "I'd like to remind you that I love black people".

I’ve gone into a restaurant and had the hostess tell me they don’t serve gay people.

So I think it can be very contextually relevant for the hostess to say they’re an ally.
> When I hear someone complain about the whitespace thing, it sends a message to me that they do not format their code well and just go willy-nilly on their indentation.

That's quite the assumption.
Yelling about the "woke" left, is basically like yelling about the "ayran" right. Nobody disagrees that these things are bad, it's just that they're irrelevant.
Idk if the article says this (paywall), but: Home ownership is basically subsidized in the US. So to take full advantage of that, someone may want to buy the most expensive house they can afford in the place they want to live. If it has extra bedrooms, so be it.
The difficulty in staffing was because over the course of the war the army expanded from under 200k soldiers to over 8 million, and the navy expanded from under 400k to over 3.4 million.

That's almost 11 million people, which was around 12% of the civilian workforce, diverted to the military.
There are degrees of good and bad in all of it.

Harvey Weinstein preyed on people. Louis CK consensually engaged in his kink with people who later said they didn't mean to consent but were embarrassed because they wanted to curry his favor. Aziz Ansari went on a bad date, and she gossiped to someone who wanted to write a hit piece.

PG says wokeness peaked with George Floyd. Surely there was priggish stupidity that came from Black Lives Matter (like banning "blacklist" as if it had racial connotations), but what happened to George Floyd was legitimately fucked up.

I'm looking forward to a day when these ideas can be openly discussed. It's not that everything done in the name of woke was bad, it's that wokeness is a dogma that silences discussion. People whisper in cafeterias "hey, can I tell you what I really think," but nobody wants to say "the emperor has no clothes" when your wellbeing depends on it. In the last decade in tech, part of your job was paying lip service to inclusivity. If you date in SF or NY, you'll notice a bonkers number of people still signal a trendy virtue in their profiles, usually BLM/ACAB or Free Palestine/watermelon.

If people worry that they can't keep a job or be invited to a social gathering or find a mate if they question the dogma, you'll end up with a bunch of people performing for the dogma, because they need access to those essentials.
That person would be wrong because there is objective, verifiable evidence to the contrary. There is none for the ubiquity and material impact of racism in 2025, sorry. So its more like him claiming Lyme disease or trench foot isn’t a societal problem - is he allowed to make that claim without personal experience?
Ha so that's why my git pull were so slow. I should have checked HN faster.
You labeled me deviant and extremist, I replied with why I held my position. I think I deserve at least a reply after you made such a grose comment.
Some humans prefer rotten apples.
damn, why couldnt it happen during east coast business hours?
> Engineers are in a better position to understand what the customer wants and needs. Salespeople are there to sell their product, and fundamentally don't need to understand what the customer wants, or needs.

There's no reason to believe an engineer would understand the customer needs more than a salesperson. I know a lot of engineers who would do literally anything to avoid dealing with a real customer. At the companies I've worked for, engineers don't even talk to customers if there isn't a specific, technical issue they need to be there for. Meanwhile, salespeople actually talk to customers, probably more than anyone except support.
Literal rent seeking behavior from foreign investors.
"Not a problem on the scale that the woke believe it to be, but a genuine one."

Thank you rich white man for letting us know racism isn't that big a problem. We did it!
Schramm's Model of Communication
I hope my brain stows your comment safely away until the next opportunity.
I haven’t owned Sonos gear in a long time, but certainly back in the day they had just amazing products. That SUB where it was so perfectly balanced? They did a demo (that you could easily reproduce at home) where you could have it driving “call the cops” noise disturbance bass without upsetting a nickel set lengthwise on top, just a great unit and not the only one. Awesome stuff.

But while superior products at a price point can capture a bunch of share, after that they grow at the rate of the market. Those markets have “matured”.

For whatever reason we don’t as a society let “tech” markets mature. We demand growth long after everyone is satisfied.

This is where ideas like “growth” and ideas like “useful” diverge: raise your hand if you like Facebook or Google in 2025 more than 10-15 years ago.

Sonos (and I’m aware of the structure) “grew” right out of a sustainably profitable business with happy customers.
Business failures, not business failure, as in failure to upgrade systems as you mentioned, not wholesale business bankruptcy. The point is that there is no causal relationship between stock buybacks and not reinvesting into systems, as many companies who don't buy back stocks also don't necessarily reinvest and may still cause employee stress. That is specifically my point, that people talk about unrelated things that don't relate to the main point. Correlation does not equal causation.

Paul Graham is a billionaire frantically trying to fingerpoint and blame other people when his ilk have had an outsized influence on politics and business for years and we're no better off.
The package Jeremy Howard uses for Claudette, nbdev, actually does address the notebook pain points of version control, testing, integration, and deployment: https://nbdev.fast.ai/ (Debugging is already a strong point of developing within a notebook.) But it's admittedly used mostly for solo projects or small teams and may not be ready for large orgs.
But it demands both. The ability to develop in a parallel, decentralized way, and the ability to integrate things at a central point, an authoritative source and a blessed official destination.

It's similar to how databases allow to begin parallel, concurrent, even contradictory transactions, and also guarantee serialized, consistent database state, and rejection of invalid updates, at commit time. Both aspects are utterly important.
I am self hosted and I get scanned (and probably nastier) from AWS, but also all the other clouds: gogol, misscrosoft (a lot), and lesser known clouds.

It is a pain since to block those compromised systems, I have to block whole ip ranges from those clouds, which host legit
stuff.

Those have been reported for months... and nobody does enough or even anything in those clouds to handle that. How convenient...
I think AI blurs it more than ever, as it becomes easier to use. A chat makes any rando a superhero in the right context, if others don’t know it.

Eg a 90 year old in a care home. You learn the ins and outs of any service, you’re the local expert. You don’t even need Excel, just a phone. Very many people who have never heard of deep learning have built chatbots for small retail shops. Drag in a few FAQ docs to the context store and click “go”.
I don't relate to this at all. I don't understand how you refactor, in either python or C or anything else, without fixing indentation after you move code around. Yes, in C you don't have to fix the indentation in order to get it to compile and run, but that doesn't mean you don't have to fix the indentation! You can't just leave it inconsistent, that's insanity.
Status pages are rarely honest. The company will lie to salvage their SLA. "Degraded performance" or "some customers are experiencing an elevated error rate" should be interpreted as "service unavailable / outage"
"When your market was determined by geography, you had to be neutral. But publishing online enabled — in fact probably forced — newspapers to switch to serving markets defined by ideology instead of geography" is interesting! I'd never thought of that being the cause of news polarization, but as a story it makes sense.
> The problem is the fundamental disconnect between what's good for users and what's good for the company

The fundamental problem with 95% of companies, and 99% of publicly listed companies.
What's the issue with CGI ?
In theory, the market should push owners to rent when prices stabilize. Eventually. In the meantime, it's possible that some foreign investors don't care too much about the opportunity cost.

I think some kind of vacancy tax is the only good way to fix this if it's a real problem.
As a bit of anecdata, I used an LLM to refactor a core part of one of my site projects about 6 months or so ago.

I don't really remember how it works, probably because I didn't have to think hard about the design, I just sort of iterated it in conversation which probably meant it didn't stick.

While the iteration part was mostly positive, I don't know that it was worth it in the end to be left with something that I can understand but feels a bit foreign at the same time.
Linux development is also centralized. Instead of Github they use an email list that has patches sent to it. If that goes down, your change isn't going into Linux today.
That’s a sign of not enough granularity.

Some folks use it for code and love it, some use it for code and hate it. Writing code is so broad though- are we coding device drivers? Prototyping greenfield CRUD apps? Fixing hairy bugs in 50year old codebases?

All of those are very different activities where folks have different needs, but discussions rarely include this context.

If you can find the right dividing line where on one side people are greedy/love the tech, and on the other they’re fearful/doubting… you’re ahead of the pack - and a bit more ready to invest.
Great work! Honestly it helps so much just explaining these metrics for folks.

Early on RAG was an art, now when things are stabilized a bit, it’s more of a science - and vendors should at a minimum have some benchmarks.
I forgot about that, I wonder if they were broken too.
I read a tweet around 2014 that was very short and simple and stayed with me for a while and now seems prescient. It was something like "man, anti-SJW is getting worse than SJW" (using sjw as the precursor for woke). Makes me think that reactions are sometimes stronger than the actions they go against and can often be swinging too far the other way.
it'd be great if they set up their CLI tools such that

if there's an error/timeout, they'll do a check of their status page so you don't get the standard 'error' but rather a 'dont worry, youre not doing anything wrong. its borked, our bad' message.
Or non-EU resident investing in an EU real estate fund?
If you’re in oversupply, as the parent comment suggested, then is the effect of additional buyers meaningful?
That's a lot of overhead. Do you know how they are calculating the possible risk of these events? It feels like there are a million rabbit holes like this you could go down when modern infrastructure is so cloud connected.

Is the risk of your git repos higher than a chip shortage causing you to lose access to the infrastructure you need? So many factors to consider. A chip shortage doesn't seem that unlikely with geopolitics.

The list of scenarios you mitigate for seem like they could very easily be an arbitrary list of the of scenarios a single person came up with.
Kind of like how iPods didn't support direct copying of songs as files, whereas the cheapest hardware audio players could do it.

Actually, it's exactly like that. It's a path out of the walled garden.
I'm not saying it has zero effect. I'm saying it's a misdirected effort that would cause them more harm than good. Spain isn't exactly in the fittest economic position. It needs to attract foreigners to cultivate its growth - hence their Beckham law and other benefits for foreigners. You can deter people from coming and see the country stagnate/go down, or you can actually match the demand and foreign dynamism, and use that as an opportunity for the whole place to grow and modernize.
Looks like a white hat audit from Snyk testing. Got flagged because oastify.com is a default Burp Collaborator server.

They should be running a private npm repo for tests (not difficult to override locally) and also their own collaborator server.
I don't follow. In this case would sampling 50/50 always give better/unbiased results on the experiment?
Yep.

I've a longterm "internet friend" and Cyprus resident/native who has been grumbling about this for two decades now, his principal complaint is the sheer number of Russians back dooring their way into becoming an EU company via Cyprus and screwing up the cost of living, housing, etc for the locals who suffer from the pressure of rich transients who do little for the community.

A common enough templte compliant the world over, but it has grounds.

He'll also admit it's not just the Russians but many others also.
To quote mark fisher “…It is driven by a priest’s desire to excommunicate and condemn, an academic-pedant’s desire to be the first to be seen to spot a mistake, and a hipster’s desire to be one of the in-crowd.”
I think your understanding is wrong although my experience with the term PC started in the early/mid 1980s and I don't know much about its use before that. What you're describing is more like "don't ask - don't tell" and "parental advisory" labels.

Typically, PC is associated with attempts to de-marginalize groups that are historically disadvantaged due to structural discrimination. To me the canonical PC is always spelling "women" as "womyn", to avoid using a term that contains the word "man", as a way to push back against perceived patriarchal naming/language systems.
I think this is a fair assumption to make if you haven't been in some of the places where this has been most contentious -- in particular, I think left-wing activist circles, or segments of industry where the workplace has switched from being "apolitical" -- I know that term is contested, but I don't have a better one to use -- to shifting to an overtly social-justice-oriented space.

I've spent the last decade in these environments. My own upbringing and general disposition is left-wing, but the last few years have been stressful and much less productive.

Somebody downthread mentioned how "latinx" was just a small minority of advocates, but we had painful discussions about it, including objections from latino staff, and ended up using it.

Our (obligatory) sexual harassment training switched from a standard legal footing to one that was preceded by a long explanation of the oppressive nature of Europeans.

Group chats moved towards political conversations, and even minor questioning of the (quite sudden) norm shift led to ostracization, with two people, not including me, ultimately leaving the company because they felt uncomfortable with the social pressure.

One senior executive was pushed out because they made a joke about having pronouns in video profiles. We pursued a diverse hiring policy that ended up with patently unsuitable, but diverse, employees including an alcoholic, and someone who had a mental health breakdown in a meeting. Staff would increasingly reach for untouchably political accusations when maneuvering against other individuals at the workplace, accusing them of racism, intolerance, and harassment when there was little evidence that this was going on (none of this was from white males, but between other less privileged groups).

I move in other circles too, academic and professional, and there have been similar dynamics. Not only do I know people who have been "cancelled" (ie lost jobs or opportunities because of public statements that, while politically mainstream, went against local norms), but I also know people who did the cancelling, get cancelled in turn. None of this was about anything demonstrably and objectively offensive; sometimes it was about defending arguably offensive behaviour; sometimes it was just an uncharitable reading of an innocuous comment, taken out of context.

What I would say is that there has been a shifting and narrowing of politically acceptable statements, and a pressure to conform with the consensus in certain kinds of tech work and other high-status societal environments, which I think would make people of Paul Graham's age uncomfortable; he would definitely have seen the "worst" of it. I think part of its spread has been due to it looking, without closer examination, like what you have described. But as someone who was raised by socialists who got there largely by their empathy for others, the degree of cruelty and arbitrary punishment through social sanction has been unusually vicious and hard to bear.

I still feel I can't talk about this except with a few very close friends. This is a throwaway account.
> "Warning

Do not put this on the Internet if you do not know what you are doing.

At a small enough scale, gut feelings can be totally reasonable; taste is important and I'd rather follow an opinionated leader with good taste than someone who sits on their hands waiting for "the data". Anyway, your investors want you to move quickly because they're A/B testing you for surviveability against everything else in their portfolio.

The worst is surely when management make the investments in rigor but then still ignores the guidance and goes with their gut feelings that were available all along.
It's impossible to have a respectful conversation with someone who thinks you're inherently responsible for society's ills and/or deserves to be ostracized for failing to maintain constant awareness of their jargon du jour.

The people who claim this is a tiny fraction of the left (it's not the majority, but exactly how tiny it is is not entirely clear) are largely the same people who claim anyone who has a shred of agreement with any far right platform is a Nazi, so I don't have much sympathy for them being painted with a broad brush.
I don't quite get how Americans love sugar so much. I mean, I I could smell the cloy miles away from a pastry shop, especially those in a supermarket like Safeway. The highest praise to an American pastry shop is usually "their stuff is not that sweet". I usually cut the suggested sugar by 2/3 from a US recipe and still make very sweet cakes. Oh, and last time I checked, every god damn ketchup contains 22(!) sugars. Why?
It’s not really clear what they mean.
Should be fixed now? It seems that links inside iframes are generally not welcomed ("read.gov will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it."). Interesting bug. Thanks!
Even worse, it the no information about what the hell the product really is, and when I manually navigate to the main site it says "Coming soon."

However, the terms of service link suggest that this is a severely-incomplete rebranding of another product called Mongo, and I can see why they'd need to rename it.
And the ultimate problem that you don't need a solution for, until you _need_ it. Which often leads to "yeah we have backups" but without regular testing, can you trust them?

So would you say it's fair game to blame "migrants" for crimes? After all, you can't steal something if you're not in a country, so letting someone into a country strictly increases the crime rate. Even if migrants commit crimes at a lower rate than the local population, unless it's exactly zero, it'll still increase the crime rate.

edit: downvoters, I'm not actually endorsing blaming migrants. It's only used as an example.
