The stolen election thing is very dumb, but people forget the same argument was made in 2016 with Russia “hacking the election” with no evidence found.

I agree with the idea that someone who was convicted twice of sex crimes in a leadership role is a bad idea and that by including them you may be excluding others.

Although I am curious about your opinion about other senarios. What is the person was found guilty in a US college Title IX court? Or what if it was just an accusation online? These are the questions we should get clear answers to now so when they (inevitably) happen, we know how to act, we don't have a twitter debate war to decide.

If you are looking for in-person, I think it’s a numbers game. I would like to meet more people like this myself, but I have found a few just by meeting friends or friends that are engineers.

Many people die of HIV, it’s a plague on society. If we just killed everyone who has it, it would be gone.

Many of “us” are already dying, and it saves lives in the future.

Right, but if someone buys say a shirt with your stolen card, it isn’t the store that picks up the bill. It’s the credit card company.

Kinda shocked Facebook is past Netflix.

I realize Facebook isn’t very popular right now, but all I see usually is people talking about how bad Facebook is, while the browse their Instagram and talk on messenger.

Not saying you can’t hate the company for what it is, but seems like so many people are calling for the end of Facebook while being it’s most dedicated users.

Not especially experienced with interviewing, but definitely agree with this.

Leetcode sucks, but I’ll take it over how finance jobs are where it’s all about connections and where you interned when you were 19.

Not saying this justifies anything, but at least the reasoning for the high false positive rate is simple.

Facebook gets a lot of bad PR for having lots of misinformation.

It makes sense from a business perspective to overcorrect, because general public is way more angry about potential misinformation than people having their normal posts taken down.

Again, not saying it’s justified, but having 1 major anti-vaccine post get through would be way worse for public image then 100 Christmas greetings being taken down and then corrected.

Not to doubt the will of the Ukrainians, but this seems like a poll that would have heavy time consistency bias.

Everyone is willing to actively resist an invasion until the moment comes to risk your life.

I definitely agree with this, but I think you will find very few people that do.

People in the middle-class want to believe it has more in common with the lower class.

Everyone thinks the person slightly richer then them is the one making money they don't need and lives the luxurious life, and everyone their income and lower are the ones with real struggles.

The middle-class (me included) might not like it, but they aren't the same as someone who struggles to make ends meet.

great share, thank you!

Didn't know about this Handmade Seattle Conference until these recent links, but these OS demos have become my favorite posts on Hacker news.

I'm sure most regular users saw the post, but there was one on SerenityOS that was also very cool.

Love this and I salute you Seattle residents.

This is something everyone can get behind. Literally Democrat or Republican, you would be happier with more parties and more options.

There really shouldn't be anyone on the other side of this issue except the politicians who use the two party system to keep power among the few.

Clean code is specifically a book about how to write code well. This isn't criticizing writing clean code, but specifically what that book recommends programmers do.

I wouldn't say the mission of trying to create "clean" code is a bad one. Certainly there is terrible code to read and maintain, which implies there are good ways to write code.

I don't like that this is beta testing where the volunteers (the pedestrians of NYC) didn't agree to be part of it.

I feel like saying "discussion is bad because it brings mediocre minds" to a discussion is a bit gatekeep-y. That applies to every discussion.

That being said though, I do agree somewhat with the premise that "democracy is great because anyone can vote, but it is terrible because anyone can vote."

It sucks when some field becomes political, because the attitude around it changes from "lets listen to the experts" to "it is my God-given right to have an opinion on it regardless if I understand the issue."

I agree that this is the likely biggest contributor but it also makes me incredibly sad because I don't see anyway that this is fixed.

There is absolutely no way either political party will allow a multi-party system to ever exist.

Just out of curiosity, what are some of Chrome's shady dealings?

I'm not too informed on the subject.

Small OS projects can be done in any language. Java has an OS built from it. Real Linux and systems projects can only be done with very low level languages.

Discord switched from Go to Rust because of slowness issues, I promise if its too slow for an app its too slow for OS.

If Go wants to be a very low level "systems everywhere" then get rid of the GC. Or alternatively stop ranking it above Rust and C++, when its apples to oranges.

I think the main point is that Go (while a very good language for lower level work) is presented as a better alternative to C++ or Rust because its "nicer" but a big reason it is nicer is the lack of memory management.

It's weird to crown Go as better when it is nicer simply by ignoring very low-level work then pretend that the argument of OS development is irrelevant.

A bit of an exaggeration, but its like saying HTML is a better "programming" language than javascript when creating documents, then ignore the fact HTML isn't actually programmable.

Only slightly related, but how many real "call of the void" situations are really that? Most seem to be retrospective observations. For example, a criminal studying criminology because they like crime. Then when they are caught people suggest they were tempted by their studies, switching the causation.

The only situations I can really think of is more of like "stare long enough into the void and it stares back" where people fight an injustice long enough that they start to justify extreme measures to fight it. For example, like assuming all people accused of a crime are likely guilty so suspending privacy or searching people without cause is fine.

Over $600 billion dollar evaluation for a company with only 4 cars.

I’d like to believe there aren’t many engineers that buy into his smoke and mirrors.

Also it just moves the problem one person down the line.

So the new most powerful position is the person that knows who runs the galaxy and talks to her/him. That person can make up things or sway the ruler.

If you have many people, you now just have an oligarchy.

Agreed, I think better explanation is much more simple:

Those that will do anything for power have an advantage over others, ergo people at high level positions are disproportionately those types of people.

I feel this. I feel like a decade ago, video suggestions where based on what you were currently watching and you could find tiny channels and new content easily.

Nowadays the suggestions are basically 1/2 videos I have seen and 1/2 videos that are either big youtubers or I have subscribed to.

No going down the rabbit hole to find new stuff unless you search yourself.

I’ll be your best man

As someone who wants to get into systems programming, this is very inspiring.

They say war between the western nations is over, yet I see it everyday in the comments section when C++ and Rust are brought up.

No matter how much education anyone has, humans are still humans. We all make more decisions based on gut and what we want the truth to be than through logic.

It doesn’t feel good that science journals will consider something unscientific until it becomes mainstream.
