I think the vim philosophy is slightly different. The vim philosophy is if it worked yesterday, it works today. This means, for the most part but not exclusively, not making breaking changes. This means, by proxy, that the defaults were set a long time ago and are unlikely to change. It's a difference in who they consider the most important users, the ones already using it or the new users that might use it in the future.

My office uses IRC for communication. Actual realtime communication. Announcements and any communication that you need to read at any time other than "now" comes over email lists.

As far as the community is concerned in 2017 he bought something called "freenode limited" which doesn't own the network, doesn't own the servers, and had no operational control beyond owning domain names.

This would be like if you found out the local little league basball had been sold. It's a community resource that only exists through the continued donation of time by the members. It's not something that should ever be "owned".

I'm not sure what you are suggesting here. Should the developers that work on specific input methods for fuscia be "reading the room" and instead spend their time switching to work on ad tech, where they can influence it? Google has 10's of thousands of engineers, wedging ad tech discussions into the output of every last one of them seems completely and utterly unrelated to the article.

It was the part where people decided to ignore what was actually being presented, and instead derailed every possible conversation about google into their predetermined track. Not you specifically, but this entire fuschia thread.

What is someone to think when every time their work is presented publicly the comments are all completed unrelated to what was presented? You too would conclude that group is unlikely to present meaningful feedback or thoughts.

(I have never, and will never, work for google).

Minority? I feel like i can't read anything about google on HN without half the converstion being unrelated to the technology and strictly related to ads. The minority are the people that think "wow cool, another new shiny toy to investigate!".

AOC doesn't need to buy it. Simply paying rent in NYC and DC is too much for a bartender with < $30k in family wealth

I am no expert in china, I don't know what exactly it means. But if my country had a "State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense", and the national space adminstration reported to them, i would assume the national defense was military.

I think Hamas is a horrible organization. But if we could eliminate the entirety of the hamas leadership today, in a single moment, another similar organization would spring up because israel is creating the conditions that encourage such an organization to exist.

Israel holds all the cards here, not the palestinians. Not hamas. Israel is the party that must step up and provide a real solution. Israel's solution over the past decade has been to contain the palestinians, lock their borders, and knock over their buildings whenever they get too uppity. This policy will never result in a reduction of terrorists. It will never result in removing the conditions that allow hamas to exist.

Imagine if you are a 20 year old gazan (older than the average gazan) and all you know, your entire life, is israeli control of the strip. The death tolls aren't high enough that everyone has a dead family member, but i wouldn't be surprised if everyone knows someone the IDF killed. This is how america created terrorists in the middle east. This is how Israel is creating terrorists in their own backyard. Foreign politicians enforcing their will, through force, upon a people that don't want it.

Hamas isn't long past, the fact is Hamas is not particularly important. Hamas is a symptom, not the problem. If Israel had the will to fix their structural problems, Hamas would have no reason to exist.

Hamas is throwing unguided missles randomly and Israel is hitting them back by leveling buildings. Hamas is no more than a small child throwing a tantrum with no possibility to actually cause a change. All they can do is scream louder and hope someone else will do something. Again, Hamas is not the problem, they are a symptom of Israel's policy regarding palestinians.

As far as i can tell you are advocating to punish the residents of pallestine because some time ago, when most of the current residents were either children or unborn, someone else did a bad thing.

To me that seems exceptionally unjust.

Perhaps not own in the "i can sell it" way. I think some number of high schoolers that have never had their lockers searched, including myself many years ago, assumed their lockers ensured a level of privacy.

The median age in palestine is (was, 2014) 18 years old. Compare to 30 in israel or 40 in france.

Like it or not the vast majority of palestinians alive today had nothing to do with what hamas did 15 years ago. They were mostly children or not even born yet.

You appear, and i could of course be mistaken, to be blaming the palestinian people for "the failure to establish a functional Palestinian state or government". As if it the fault of a population that's mostly under 30 years old that they haven't been able to establish a government under the existing conditions. I'm not sure anyone else could.

The article makes this very clear. There is no google-israel conspiracy. The limits on satelite resolution were dictated by the US government.

The implication is a 10x employee could work half a day a week at a "normal" (not netflix) job and from the outside it's the same amount of output as a 1x.

I don't know the exact wording, a gracious reading might be (as directed at people writing html)

1. Never use a URL longer than 100 characters

2. Go ahead and use a URL longer than 100 characters

As for the true intent? I've no clue.

Not in tech. We aren't anything special and we start with ~30 days holiday + vacation on day 1, up to 49 after a decade.

This only applies to new items, an antiques consignment store has completely different liability rules.

Because while i don't have numbers, i'd bet a weeks pay that the vast majority of youtube views (especially after exluding viral content) come through the youtube recommendation system and not external hyperlinks.

The concern is usually that (made up numbers) school is budgeted at 100M/yr from the general fund. Then they get a lottery that provides 30M/yr, and 100% goes to the schools. Now the schools have 130M/yr right? But the worry is instead they reduce the funds from the general budget to 70M. The lottery money all went to the schools, but the extra 30M went to the general fund.

Every time I ctrl-v and then gq in intellij i die a little inside. Why won't it just work!

> I don't really understand the love for Android (and sometimes Google) and hate for Apple

The reasons are all over this discussion, just spend some time reading it. My takeaway might be that some people value autonomy and ownership, and feel like Android gives them more of that.

That's not the same URL though. Those URL's all go to en.wikipedia.org. Where did the link to www.wikipedia.org come from?

Interesting, while i haven't built a sphere yet I have factories going on multiple planets and haven't noticed any performance issues. I'm on a a 2700k with a 970GTX. Not suggesting you don't have issues, but perhaps there is a fix?

If you enjoyed Satisfactory you might also want to try out Dyson Sphere Program. It doesn't provide the veritical building but it is a different take on the factorio/satisfactory style of gameplay.

Perhaps i'm a bit odd, but when I'm going to lean on an ORM to do things I expect it to actually do them. I expect that foo.user_id does not exist, because that representation has been transformed into an object. foo.user.id should be the only viable reference to the id. foo.user.id should return the value it already knows, any other property access i would expect will do the equiv of `select * from ...` if the object has not previously been populated.

Now perhaps some ORM's prefer to be thinner, to provide more footguns via a leaky abstraction that mixes implementation details with the object mapping. I don't think those are good implementaations.

No, that is clearly a bug. The ORM already has the value of book.id, that's how it knows how to fetch the right book. Performing extra queries is just poor implementation.

How is it a trust fund for Jimmy Wales?

I was replying in the context of the grand parent:

> Did AlphaFold2 also have the biggest budget? :)

And then the parent

> Actually, no! Or at least, the budget they used (<$100k at retail prices to train the model) is well within the feasible range for other research institutions.

I'm not sure how the cost of replicating the model in the future is relevant in this context. We appear to be discussing the cost of developing this model from scratch, such as what it would have taken an alternate team to create and submit this if DeepMind never got involved.

Is the cost to train really the relevant metric for developing this? It seems like the salary's involved are probably at least 10x whatever they spent on hardware.
