yeah I was mostly joking, although I couldn't afford one. The last vehicle I bought was a 1993 Ford Explorer - it was worth it because I got to learn how to replace an alternator. Crackheads eventually stole it. Next vehicle will be a pre 1996 mercedes turbodiesel so I don't have to get it smogged in california (poor people problems)

The real leaders in a war of aggression are those who don't show up or fight on the other side. "Leadership" and "excellence" and all that wank is really just that, wank. It's a compensation price for those who got broken as kid and never mustered any resolve worth a crap later on.

> He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

I've seen the "Social Credit System" discussed:

Video describing a similar system (linked to from the wiki page):

Possibly one of the scariest concepts I've seen in a while.
Chargepoint claims that 10 minute charges are coming soon. That's plenty fast enough considering that most charging is done when a car is parked at a destination or a pee break.

There's really no point to exchanging the electrolyte in an EV, even a 45 minute charge while grocery shopping or eating is "one less stop."
> For example, Germany's "incitement of popular hatred" [3] can be used to prevent newspapers from advancing the argument that migrants are disproportionately likely to commit crimes.

Bull. Shit.

Tabloids still run ridiculously xenophobic and bigoted headlines in Germany even if we're not quite at the level as e.g. UK tabloids.

Saying "there's a correlation between the refugee crisis and a rise in crimes" is protected speech in Germany. Saying "those donkey fuckers crossing our borders must be shot on sight and their children too" is hate speech.

We're talking about the kind of statements that get showcased on sites like this: https://perlen-aus-freital.tumblr.com

In the US it's acceptable for politicians calling for undesirables like Snowden or Assange to be murdered. In Germany this kind of rhetoric would land you in jail for inciting violence and instigating criminal behavior.

Also in Germany it's forbidden to bring weapons (including "defensive weapons" like shields or gasmasks) to demonstrations. In the US you have neo-nazis and antifa running into each other with riot gear and bashing each others' heads in with lengths of wood. Not to mention paramilitaries parading in camouflage with military-looking gear and firearms.

Incidentally, German riot police doesn't use military equipment and actual violent protests are usually confined to anarchists using improvised weapons to cause property damage.

> Since there is no truth defense against hate speech accusations

Again, bullshit. If you use Nazi symbology, loudly shout "gas the jews" and do the salute, you know what you're doing. Stop pretending we're talking about scientific discourse here.

This isn't about some economist or sociologist publishing troubling research findings or level-headed reporting on anything of the sort. This is about bigots venting their hatred and tabloids abusing scare tactics to sell more copies.
I use gitlab for one thing, they allow private repos without paying.

My needs are pretty basic though, no CI/CD.

At some point I've even had multiple remotes in a repo, both on gitlab and github.
Everything was back on track very quickly, no data loss. Github has had major service outages recently as well (just google it to refresh your mind). They'll both have a few issues in the future because nobody is perfect. Come on.
> it does not logically follow to say, "I've identified this "gap," therefore this "gap" is bad and it is caused by the big bad mean oppressive bullies, group X.

This is a misrepresentation of the opposing viewpoint. No, the mere existence of a gender gap in an industry is not ipso facto evidence of sexism in that industry. After all, gender ratios in different industries vary widely, some industries have a higher ratio of women and others have a higher ratio of men. There mere existence of an imbalanced gender ratio in an industry, is not, in and of itself, problematic.

With that said, if you look at the tech industry, the constant stream of reports* of sexual harassment and sexist treatment from women that actually work in the industry is a pretty big clue that this industry, maybe, just maybe, has a problem with the way it treats women. And if you consider that female participation in the tech industry grew until the mid 80s where it peaked and has been going downhill ever since, it's difficult to conclude that the gender gap merely comes down to men and women having different interests.

So, no, the gender gap itself is not the problem. But it might be a symptom: if women feel like they are treated poorly in this industry, they are going to leave. Not because of lack of interest, or biological disposition, but because they do not feel welcome and are driven away due to the treatment they receive. And if that is causing the gender ratio in the industry to be lower than it would otherwise be, then that is problematic.

He's not against ZoL. He's just saying that ZFS is a first class citizen on FreeBSD so if ZFS is amongst your concerns for that server, then picking an OS where ZFS if a first class citizen makes some logical sense.

To be honest I do agree with him. I find FreeBSD to be close enough to Linux that any backend engineer or operator worth their salt should be able to swap between the two platforms. Nearly all the same tools that are available on Linux are available on FreeBSD, plus a few tools of it's own. I'm not advocating FreeBSD everywhere though - Linux has it's strengths too which would make it a better platform in other domains. But sometimes it feels like people turn to ZoL without even considering FreeBSD - which is a real pity as FreeBSD + ZFS is a dream to administrate. It's a lot easier than people expect and by not even entertaining the idea of FreeBSD I think they're missing an opportunity.

This is all ideal world scenario stuff though. I do appreciate there are often other factors that complicate the decision making. Sometimes even political rather than technological factors.
> If I post threats on HN, your data would be included. Are you okay with that?

There's a false equivalence in your example. HN is not a website created to commit acts of treason. Consider a more apt example (but more extreme): there is a website created by ISIS. Many people visit it. A few post threats against America or its president. Is it unethical to pull data about every visitor? The whole website's purpose is terrorism. I'd want the FBI to get every IP address and ascertain the risk that each visitor poses. I'd feel safe that way.

What you're saying applies to sites like Google, Facebook, HN, Twitter etc.
That's why you should make your CI / CD code-based, so you can recreate it from scratch within minutes. At worst you'd lose your previous build states.
I once had to really compile one of my UWP apps to get it working on a locked down Surface Hub (otherwise, I just ever ran them in the debugger).

I love coffee ... when I'm addicted to caffeine. I found when I get off of caffeine my love of coffee disappears.

I've been on/off caffeine numerous times. Mostly because I have a big backpack trip where obtaining caffeine is a pain. It takes exactly a week for me with days 3-6 being miserable. I feel I am not fully "there" almost as if I'm an observer in my own body.

There are two advantages I see in being off caffeine. First you are not dependent on a drug. Second, if you do need the drug for a rare occasion (maybe driving late into the night etc.) it is there for you. Being off caffeine then drinking a cup of coffee gives you a huge jolt.

I got back on caffeine recently to see if it would help me lose weight. It did not. Now I'm fat and addicted.
That's pretty unsettling. I wonder if I'm going to find myself in a similar situation regarding social networking as I found myself in regarding credit cards a number of years ago. For the longest time I didn't have any credit cards since the idea of debt really scared me but I realized I was only hurting myself by not building a credit history. I signed up for a number of cards over the years and put small recurring charges on them that I always pay off in full. Similarly, I don't really participate in much social media, HN is the exception, and I have no FB account, but I wonder if at some point my lack of public facing social media will negatively impact other areas of my life like borrowing, employment, or housing.

Maybe someone enterprising can start a service that automatically posts a bunch of innocuous stuff to a FB profile so I don't have to bother wasting my time with it.

Its a pay per view for the broadcasters in the form of subscriptions. While I don't support this kind of activity I can see the damages done to a business if they are robbed of their audience. Broadcasters pay to have the show on their channel, why should they not be bothered when they are about to lose potential numbers because people have already seen the show before they air it? Viewers count is very important in this business.
The website in question was not facebook, or twitter or reddit. It's a website that specifically attacks the president. Not exactly "public discourse". Go near a police officer with a friend and talk generally about the best way to bomb the white house. See what happens.

Honestly, well written recursive descent parsers are often far easier to understand than parser generator stuff.

There's a reason nearly every production parser is hand rolled, and its not simply for performance reasons.
'austenallred is a cool individual, and this seems like it could be a particularly good take on the code school model, but I always wonder if programs like this help on the margin. That is, do they help people succeed (i.e. get a job in software) who otherwise wouldn't, or do they just accelerate the success of those who would, one way or another, eventually succeeded regardless of their participation in the program? I think the latter might be likely simply just because for good programs (like this one) demand far outstrips supply, so they can be extremely picky about who they accept and only accept individuals who are destined to succeed.

Not that accelerating the success of those destined to succeed is in any way a bad thing (it is, undoubtedly, a good thing, and can certainly make for a good business), but my interest is much more in helping those succeed who otherwise wouldn't. That seems like a much harder challenge and one that can have more interesting ramifications for things like social mobility and income inequality.

On funtoo/gentoo/arch basically any distro where the installation is manual zfs is exceptionally simple to set up. This stage took me about 30 seconds to figure out having never used zfs.

On any rolling release you could easily be using the same setup for the next decade or more simply duplicating an existing setup to a new machine periodically.

A small amount of work up front seems like a good trade for never having to do so again.

Ode to Kotlin – Why to Use Kotlin Over Java
It's much simpler and much faster to make a chunk of code completely isolated in user space by masking the addresses it reads/writes to. For example, masking with 0xFFFF is the same as doing modulo 16. Add another bit to the mask and you're doing modulo 32, and so on. That's why I think the block must be not only contiguous, but also aligned. I may be wrong about the alignment now that I think about it. But the contiguous part is clear.
Possibly. I wouldn't drink tap water where I live because its not nice (but other people do...) I do drink a lot of non-sparkling water though, even in Restaurants and I'm in Europe. Not all places will even give you tap water, sometimes you have to buy bottled water (which I often do anyway if I don't think the tap water tastes nice..)
With regard to persistence, I don't think you can argue that the scale of what can now practically be stored hasn't changed significantly.

Given that a larger amount of information can now be stored easily, the economics of what is stored is different, and one would expect this would lead to the storage of more information over time. If you can store in a single HD what would have previously taken a large room, for a tiny fraction of the cost, the bar for storing the information vs. discarding it is much much lower.

I also think it's not only storage, but searching of large datasets that's another reason that information changing over time. Again, if finding information in a large blob of data is easier and as discussed above, is much cheaper, then this will also lead to people storing information for later retrieval. As you say, the fact that all this storage is not networked together means that this information is now easily retrievable from anywhere, only intensifying the impact.

This effect is at the root of homesickness, I think. In my experience you're never really homesick when you're happy - homesickness only happens when you're sad for some reason and you can't separate it from the place/situation you're in. That reason is only sometimes a direct result of that situation, but your instinctive response is to think "this would be better if I were at home" regardless.

Getting over homesickness seems to be about being able to accept the bad thoughts as you would do at home and move on, rather than "feeling bad about feeling bad" in the form of wishing you could just go home.

I'm fortunate enough to have never experienced it, but I imagine serious grieving is like this too.

DLL Hot Reloading in Theory and Practice
I grow regular food plants (chiles), and it's not that simple. You have germination, irrigation, fertilization, repotting, pest control, weeding, etc. If you just carelessly throw some seeds on the ground then they probably won't germinate or they'll get eaten by animals and you'll get nothing. If you forget to water them they'll die. You have to check them every day if you want them to grow reliably.

Making wine is as easy as buying a carton of grape juice, adding some dried yeast, and covering the top with some aluminum foil. It won't be good wine, but it will be recognizably wine. People living under prohibition would be happy with it. If you try growing chiles with that level of effort you'll get nothing edible.
Oooof. Doesn't bode well for the future of the game :-/

The net effect was that we had to work with every player as if they had no previous exposure to the game. Every rule, every strategy, and every technique had to be explained from scratch.

Yeah! And kids can't even throw a baseball any more. That used to be the one "basic" sports skill every kid had: even if you didn't play baseball you could throw a ball because we played "wall ball" and other games.

But, even though it's sad, I'm fine with it. Things change. Really, as long as kids are playing sports... I think that's fine. Baseball (as much as I love the game) is arguably one of the worst sports for kids because you spend 90% of your time waiting for your turn at bat, or waiting for the ball to be hit to you.

I still think baseball has the best simple pleasures of any sport, though. Hitting a baseball and catching a baseball. Still my two favorite things in sports.

The other thing killing the sport is time. We see lacrosse teams arrive at the field next to us, play a game, and go home just in the time that we are stretching out, throwing, doing batting practice and infield warmups before a game. The lax kids (and parents) are home firing up the BBQ before the first pitch has been thrown.

Yeah. People are busier these days. I think we're way too busy these days, but regardless of what I think, the reality is that kids and parents need sports that fit into this new reality better.
> A. Is the language stable/mature enough for production use?

The language is stable now in terms of features, there will be no more significant changes in the language in the forseeable future. However, the document on the website is a bit outdated, I will update it in the coming days.

As for the implementation, I cannot say for sure, but I believe it is sufficient stable now. My colleagues and I have been using Dao to develop commercial product prototype in the past half year, the only tricky problems we experienced had something to do with the wrapping of a game engine. All (no many actually) other problems are quite trivial. After solving the problems related to the wrapping, the product prototype has been working quite smoothly.

However, our use may not have covered all the features of Dao, so there could be some parts less stable than the parts we have been using. But since we are actually using Dao in real products, we are obviously obliged to make it as stable as possible:)

> B. Do the concurrent features allow shared memory parallelism?

Yes.
It was more a kind of heads up, because I think pure coding is too low level as parsing tool and most still think the alternative to manually parsing is only bison/yacc.
