Some people with lives "not that interesting" don't want to give up their privacy. Some of us even understand that there is no such thing as "anonymous statistics".

It's not about a big government spying conspiracy. It's about basic privacy and not giving out data about yourself that you don't want to give out.

There are also enormous trust implications.
I'm glad to hear they are planning to add more features. I've been using Function::Parameters quite a bit lately, and I can say it's made a huge difference in how easy it is to handle parameter sanity checking. I was disappointed to see what 5.20 implemented WRT signatures, but if it's being added to over time, I can deal with that.

Since much of this is back ported Perl 6 concepts, I have a lot of thanks for Perl 6.
Shared focus, accountability, and retrospect. Also, a potential group of friends who won't judge you for doing nothing but sitting on a pillow for a half an hour (or more) every day.

There are pros and cons to everything.
You're missing the point. The point is, for some reason a bunch of people have their expectations of Javascript performance set 10-15 years out of date.
And digging is much more expensive to do initially (think two or three orders of magnitude), though it's often cheaper in the long run due to less maintenance and repairs.
Reminds me of why I instantly agreed with Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations

I've been wondering why you couldn't have elevators built on the principles of being vertical trams. They would be run on tracks rather than cables and several could run in a single shaft in the same direction. Any experts know why this isn't done (I'm sure someone's thought of it already). I suppose synchronizing the movements might be a challenge.

The problems of ordinary elevators are serious for large buildings - without express elevators, an ordinary elevators can take up a large percentage of the floor space of a large building. Even with express elevators, the space used is significant (I recall 25% for the old World Trade Center towers).
I interviewed with FoundationDB and came very close to working there. They were about as smart as you would expect the people behind that kind of technology would be--scalable distributed transactions at speeds many zeroes higher than what was thought possible--and I'm glad to see them succeed, but wondering what's going to happen to their software. Whatever secret sauce made their software I'm not convinced the market can replicate anytime soon.

I also can't help but wonder how much my options would have been worth.
Of course the agile manifesto didn't arise ex-nihilo. But it's a much clearer, more concise statement of what you said.
What really differentiated it was the fact that multi-key transactions allowed for you to reasonably build any number of logical data models on top of it in a linearly scalable way. It was all built to an extremely high degree of polish with an extremely good testing and simulation harness and a high degree of predictability in performance. It was basically Spanner for the rest of us, without atomic clocks (and they also shipped an F1, their SQL layer on top). As others have mentioned, the closest cousin at the moment is probably cockroach, but it relies on wall clocks which will probably lead to problems in certain cases, but gets an easier way to scale writes.

Here's the architecture diagram for FDB, it's pretty fun to read:

Sorry but that comment is just BS.
Straw man, and misapplication of my point.

Are you holding the view that productive society can’t exist without allocation of capital? Cause the 1000s of years of evidence to the contrary disagrees with you.

Value generation doesn’t require capital, or capitalist. Someone doesn’t need to OWN the results of other people’s work. Crazy I know.
Because there are no companies around which can produce mRNA vaccine. The production process is very specific. Opening up the patents wouldn't help. There are cooperations with those production steps which are generic, like botteling of the vaccines. Fortunately, another factory for BioNTech (which are the people who are making the vaccine, Pfizer is just the large partner) opened up in Germany recently and is going to produce a significant amount of doses. But instead of 1 more like 10 of these factories should have been built.
Sencha gets a lot of flak, but IMO it is the most mature, built out framework you can get. You get, out of the box:

1. MVC/MVVM structuring

2. a DOM abstraction, which albeit requiring a lot of learning, works once you grok how to use it (something that can only unfortunately come with experience)

3. Touch driven gestures

4. History and repetitive task management

5. A grid view that's unparalleled in the market.

And that's just for starters. It's downsides include a steep learning curve and a classical inheritance model, but those should hardly be blockers to anyone willing to invest the time it demands.
Alternative : For those who are too much invested and tied into FB ecosystem with IG, Facebook Groups, Fan Page etc --> just limit your use of FB, consider deleting the app or blocking the website so you are limited to check it on only one platform and it will also be a reminder to limit social media.
The point is that if enough people are opting out, it's going to be a lot harder for them to take the time to individually harass people.
The tailscale blogpost about "how NAT traversal works" [0] is a fantastic resource to dive into those those network related challenges.

Some people probably _did_ sign up for the armed forces in the middle of the Iraq war. Not that I agree with them, but they probably saw themselves as patriots. Sometimes people just have different morals, try speaking to people who work in the MIC and you’ll notice that they all think they’re doing good.
Seems risky if you’re playing a game that generates too much heat... don’t want to burn your chicken.
Group texts became the preferred social media platform a few years ago, which is why Facebook bought WhatsApp.
Normally the identity of contributors is not really checked when you want to contribute to an open source project. A valid email address and a name is sufficient to contribute to the Linux kernel.

All changes to The Linux kernel are getting publicly reviewed, so the hard thing is passing this technical review if you want to introduce a backdoor.
If people know you, based on previous contributions, the review could be less hard, so it could make sense to build up a reputation before. In the Linux kernel not the company builds up the reputation, but the individual engineer who contributes. If this is a Huawei hardware it could be easier for an engineer with a Huawei mail address to get changes integrated, because people assume he known the driver and hardware well and people trust claims like, "this can not happen because the closed source firmware takes care of this".

If the Chinese intelligence agency wants to integrate a backdoor into mainline Linux it would be easier to just build up some own fake identities and use them. It probably would be easier to just analyze the Linux kernel and use bugs introduced by other people.

The NSA also contributed to the Linux kernel, look for contributes from a nsa.gov mail address.
deleted mine many years ago, only thing I feel like im missing out on is marketplace. had a much easier time selling random stuff there vs all other alternatives, but good riddance
Bleh. It looks pretty useless without threading.

EDIT: By threading, I mean conversation threading; this isn't a misplaced comment about the performance of La Brea.
I don't think it's completely reasonable to ban it. Although, I would agree that it's completely reasonable to restrict nearly anything.

Although, I do like your comment about scale. If you have a system that's 99% successful, then if you apply it to everyone in the US then you're failing 3 million people. That's a problem.

Of course, your system might be mechanical OR it might just be a group of people each one just "doing their job." From a result oriented point of view, you might end up with a mechanical system that oppresses less people than a people system.

I don't feel good about either one, but I also don't feel good about causing wide scale misery because at least it's people screwing over other people instead of a machine screwing over people.

[Of course it's worth noting that I don't trust the technology at all. It's just that I also don't trust the human solution that it claims it can replace.]
Is it simple though? Copy & paste into a WYSIWYG editor is pretty error prone, and he's already talking about creating several shell scripts to keep things in sync. Seems a bit like re-inventing the wheel, no?
It's interesting to look at this in the context of ballooning tuition costs. Could it be that part of the problem is that university staff positions attract a high proportion of unmotivated time-servers? How is this possible at the same time that instructional staff are being squeezed so hard?
With PhoneGap having been discontinued, you'll need to find a replacement when it's time to update your app. Cordova still works great, so you won't have to make a lot of changes.

Have a look at VoltBuilder as a replacement for PhoneGap. It does the same job (or more) and it's up to date.

Disclosure - I'm on the VoltBuilder team (and a fellow Canuck). I'm happy to answer questions.
so in your opinion, we should have no right to privacy?
A start would be to ignore a lot of things said about tech on HN. It is a solid source of pain, suffering and time wasting (I like it, but that's another story).

Forget about all this modern tech stuff no-one is asking for. You can work for companies / clients who need stuff automated; they don't care about k8s, jamstack, react, docker, service mesh, etc etc. You can hack shit together with php + mysql, put in on a vps and you'll be treated like a sorcerer.

Find small companies (I know a bunch in the EU, which is a good region anyway as you have a safety net if you lose your job and many places have 36 hour or less weeks) that are not IT companies but factories or something non-software with a small team that are working on internal software for the last 10 years. You will get tasks to fix/add on stuff, no-one will be in a hurry (factory runs fine without it, it just makes things better or gears up for a tax rule change or whatever).

I would be careful to not get depressed by this kind of work (I nearly did), but it's not hard to find (not here anyway) if you are at least a bit social and can write code so you can get through the interview. These companies don't give you whiteboard interviews or actually any more than just a friendly chat.
The commodification of software isn't just an issue for Apple developers. It applies to all content, because there's so much competition for limited attention and the tools to produce content are so widely accessible. Many ebooks get released for free and $2.99 seems to be the upper limit for self-published authors. Established software and literary brands can ask more. But among those trying to get recognition, the price pressure is considerable. And good luck getting people to pay for your music.
I tried Cinder and OF years ago, and then I tried to use Extempore[1] because I prefer Lisps for dynamic programming. I am now trying NAP[2], which was opensourced a few months ago, and Nannou[3] a Rust creative library.

I find the Nannou library to be very intuitive to use akin to when I first found Processing[4] in the early 2000's.

I am not a Rust programmer by any means, but the site and examples are very helpful.

C was the third language I learned starting in the 80s. Assembly and Basic in 1978, so I try to be language-agnostic and go with what works for me, but for creative coding, you need to find what allows your personal expression to flow.

Thanks, this was interesting.

Side note I wondered, why Anchor FM? I have nothing against them, never heard of them, but the interface is scant, and there appears to be no other textual information or external links along side the audio. Maybe there aren't any?
Sure, every little helps.

That's not set in stone; reportedly pg said downvoting for disagreement was fine, but I don't have the quote handy nor a source.
I'm planning on continued massive USD inflation.
Who exactly bestows these rights upon people?

Governments? Türkiye outlaws free speech through arbitary terror laws (see: HDP politicians imprisoned, members of Grupo Yorum who died of hunger protests for not being allowed to sing). Turkiye also has libel laws which basically outlaw free speech. tayipp has successfully sued many thousands of people for speaking afainst him.

Religion? Turks are mostly muslim. Blasphemy, apostacy, mocking the prophet or drawing pictures or him are all punishable by death in Islam.

The concept of universal or inalienable rights is noble and righteous in theory, but imaginary in practice.

Turks have allowed Tayipp to stomp all over the constitution (illegally acting as prime minister when he was president, rewriting the constitution under a state of emergency, violating libel laws by regularly insulting kurds, chp, hdp, christians, jews and zoroastrians, violating the secularity laws and arresting hundreds of thousands of people under allged ties to fetö), and Turks keep allowing it.

Even Atatürk banned turbanli women from working in government.

Turks have willingly rejected western-style free speech for a relatively improved economy and a sense of national pride.
Evolution strategy is included. The "Covariance matrix adaptation" is for making this algorithm work for continuous search spaces. But gradient-free-optimizers has discrete search space.
I understand his/your point, but you can beat them in an election and then take better care of them than their own party has.

There are conservative people who voted for Obama twice, which almost certainly was because of the broad economic recovery under his presidency.

People are a lot less ideological than everyone thinks. If they're worried about money or health, many will vote for whomever gives them the most hope.
Motortrend are saying this (They had access to it back in September).

It's going to drastically reduce production costs.

https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-electric-pi...
It's worse than that: some of the months are latin-numbered, but due to renumbering the numbers are wrong.

September = sept = 7 = month 9

Octobeber = oct (as in octal) = 8 = month 10

November = nov = 9 = month 11

December = dec (as in decimal) = 10 = month 12
He literally made an equivocation then said he wasn't trying to make an equivocation. I don't know how that's not immediately obvious.
How do you justify having much dirtier and far more carbon emissions than people who have appropriately sized vehicles? Granted, you could use it a few times for the bed, but why not just rent a truck and save the environment the other 95% of trips?
Whats really troubling here is in the future, the police could get a warrant to track a vehicle, take the tracker off themselves, then go back to the courts claiming there is probable cause the suspect stole the tracker and get the warrant to search for their tracker in the suspects home and parents home...of course searching for whatever it is they really wanted but had no right to search for.
Right. I've heard _of_ her in passing, but wasn't that interested in what I heard; that was my point. It seems her work is targeted at a different demographic, so fine. Most of her work appears to be "feminist literature", which is not how I prefer to spend my free time. Not necessarily bad, just not that high on my reading list. Anyway, my point was that there are plenty of people who aren't as familiar with this particular author. I don't subscribe to streaming services; that did not influence my opinion.
For those thinking of going to Petra, do yourself a favour and make sure you have at least a day to explore, the whole site is huge. We were there for two days and there was probably more we could have seen.

However if you are not in moderate shape then you might struggle with some of the stuff out to the edge, unless you fancy taking a donkey up the hills.
The use of weird slurs obscures the point you are making.
I been using ST4 with LSP Package ( Community Package ), It is enough in my use case... to forever remove VSCode.

I am looking at removing IntelliJ soon. I cant remember the last time I used CLion/IntelliJ... only times is using it for debugging hard issues... Maybe if I get better at LLDB/GDB I would never need clion.
I could see these 2 bots re tweeting eachother
Patches are not commutative in general though, so surely Pijul must have some history/ordering mechanism?
Def not illegal in the US. But it would be a weird thing to do, as it would not be great for morale. Can’t think of many reasons to lower someone’s pay. Maybe if entire company takes a 10% cut during a crisis or something.
They can’t even make it remember my screen configuration on reboot...

Why would you need a special database to implement this feature? Usually its just modelled by having 2 date fields and querying as appropriate.
> rampant use of the technology as a means to subvert evidence) but the opposite: that people will counter justified allegations of evidence as being deepfakes.

That's not the opposite, that is subverting evidence.

Also, please stop using ordinary names as slurs.
No. Ganpati is a system that provides user & group information (not ACLs themselves), but it's only sort of related to Zanzibar.
Yes I agree unwanted opinions are the worst only wanted opinions should be allowed.
I"ve used the number, they'll bail you out of anything.
It's not. And while there's opportunity to make a big construction more efficient by handling permitting/approval in a bundle (combined with some of the necessary developments in traffic/transportation, housing), that doesn't mean cutting corners and just crippling the state/city budget.

Except you are out of luck when Apple decides to stop updates.

Not using transferable has HUGE performance hits, it can take even seconds to transfer larger buffers.
My guess is that this ban is not an isolated incident. Google are notoriously bad at admitting that something is not behaving as intended.
The fact that you chose to comment on a "negative comment" simply by stating that it is "boring" and "pessimistic" is pretty funny.
But what the hell does Foxconn get out of it? The deal was for tax breaks which only pays off if you have taxes to pay on profits or real estate and they don't have either. They didn't come close to meeting the employment goals for the deal to kick in either. So, they puff up some local Republicans which reflects a bit on the president. Then they embarrass themselves and everyone who promoted the deal and end up in the exact same financial position as before. This just feels like a big screw up more than a conspiracy.
There is difference between equipment like electronics or some shit (taking stuff that going to be destroyed)

Hire me. I have no morals.
I want to develop games for this. How hard would it be for someone with no circuitry experience to build?
I am not into stocks at all, but I believe this is why it isn't that attractive to invest in BP:

Assuming you had 100k to invest and bought when it was at its low which is about 30 per share-

That would net you 3333 shares - Then, if the stock instantly went back up to 60 and you sold after a year, you would have 200k, which you would have to pay 15% long term capital gains (federal) and 9.3% for California ) - This means your total take home under the most ideal of situations would be about 75k , not even doubling your money.

Now, if it dipped into the single digits, that is another story. That is where you can invest 100k and turn it into millions.
I'm buying into Scott Adam's declaration (which I would like to claim I came up with on my own before I was exposed to, but cannot clearly remember...) that they'll bounce back.

Exxon did rather well, even while being fined a year's worth of its profits.
Uh, no. But the concept of investing doesn't really work. The actual investment, if any, in that case is the one penny purchase, which actually would make the returns higher still. You know, if you want to look at it that way, which no one does. A more practical way to look at it is in terms of "amount risked", which is infinite.

I suppose from an accounting point of view, the "amount invested" is actually x number of BP securities, just as you normally invest x number of Federal Reserve securities. It's just one kind of paper or another on one side of the balance sheet or the other.
Part of me feels like there are few countries in the world that have the same ingredients for entrepreneurialism that American has, China isn't one of them, at least not yet. </hand wavy argument>
1989: Exxon Valdez is the largest oil spill in US history to that point

2010: Exxon is the largest US company by market capitalization

now should I buy BP stock or not? Hmmmm...
I'm really tempted to buy call options, because of the effective leverage.
The worry about affiliate-link posts, I think, is insincerity: that someone might be flogging a product because it pays them a nice kickback, not because they actually think it's good, or better than an alternative product that doesn't have an affiliate program.
you would have trouble finding someone who spends more time manicuring their public image. check the recent edits on the wikipedia article about him if you don't believe me.
This is good advice. Also, if the OP interested in seeing the system calls that the different programs do, they should look up the strace command.
If you're going to do bike riding why not use a real bike outside? I hate sitting on stationary bikes and will give up quickly. If you go a planned route on a real bike that requires much less (or zero) willpower to finish it. And it's much more fun too.
I find it surprising and sad that this comment has the most points on HN. The poster may not have cheated in school, but he/she clearly has a bad case of sour grapes.

You're not helping him/her by upvoting their post, though if you are a cheater, it definitely pays to do so -- you want as many people as possible to be pissed off in the face of "rampant" cheating. Pissed off people do poorly in life, as a general rule.

In fact, given a choice between cheating and being pissed off, most people would be better off cheating.

Didn't your parents ever tell you that life is not fair?
