If they did not add value, we would still be using newsgroups.

I wish we were. Newsgroups were great, but they fell apart under commercial pressure; internally from spam, externally from the pretty graphics that were possible in a web browser. I really wish there were a clear successor to NNTP and a simpler, clearer markup standard - the popularity of FB and Wikipedia shows that people value simple, uncluttered interfaces almost to a fault.

> It should have had protocol-level technologies for preserving historic data, for search, for offline use, for authoring and publishing. [...] He was talking about the lack of protocol-level solutions for resilience of the Web.

That's completely at odds with what Kay actually advocates for. His position is strongly aligned with the "mechanism, not policy" philosophy. That is, what he advocates for is less of what you want, not more. This is apparent from that Dr Dobbs interview, his work with VPRI, back to his OOPSLA speech in 1997. To wit:

> HTML on the Internet has gone back to the dark ages, because it presupposes that there should be a browser that should understand its formats. [...] You don't need a browser if you followed what this staff sergeant in the Air Force knew how to do in 1961. Just read it in, it should travel with all the things that it needs, and you don't need anything more complex than something like X Windows.

Kay has always sat on the diametrically opposite site of the table as those favoring the Principle of Least Power—one of the most underappreciated tenets of computing. Tim Berners-Lee called it out in Axioms of Web Architecture:

> At the other end of the scale is the weather information portrayed by the cunning Java applet. While this might allow a very cool user interface, it cannot be analyzed at all. The search engine finding the page will have no idea of what the data is or what it is about. The only way to find out what a Java applet means is to set it running in front of a person.

You can get a better view of what a world that more closely adhered to Kay's vision would look like in Stanislav's (an adherent's) post, "No Formats, No Wars": http://www.loper-os.org/?p=309

You create a centralized bureaucracy by hiring bureaucrats and giving them the final say. The ping-pong policies of the FCC, FLB, and shortly the CFPB result from legislatures insisting on a system where political appointees are the ones who make the final vote on regulatory decisions. This results in a situation like the current FCC, where votes are party-line and regulatory action depends not on the written policies but on who won the most recent election.

Similarly with zoning boards and the YIMBY suits - local zoning policies were made by elected city councils, and the YIMBY suits and state legislation are trying to force cities to pass legislation and then apply those rules without political interference.

GitLab CI is lightweight compared to Jenkins. I recently taught CI/CD using both, on small instances, and the instances running Jenkins would occasionally grind to a halt due to load while the ones running GitLab kept ticking. Same CI/CD load, same instances. Just a different CI app.

You have to try harder with web because it’s rubbish to begin with.
It depends on how you define work.

I think naming things is hard... at least that's my take on it.

I often find that a variable/function/class that is harder to name than to use or implement while programming. I expect the issue would be a little more prevalent in writing. You want something short, not click-baity, memorable and with the right connotation. I could see that taking more effort than writing the post.

When putting an idea in words, the less words you use, the more effort it takes.
I use some Jenkins and some Travis-CI(https://travis-ci.org/) with good luck. Travis seems capable of most things that Jenkins can do, while still being a pleasure to configure and work with.
I've been trying to explain this for years here. People don't care that much about privacy because they can't see it and it's hard for them to conceptualize the scope of what they're giving up. It's a selling point, but not that great of a selling point - certainly not good enough to overcome the network effect.

I forget who pointed it out, but I like the point that to disrupt a big incumbent you need to be not just 10% better, you need to be 50% better. You can get started by doing something that nobody else does which is useful. What FB did better than anyone else was provide a clean interface to social network curation that made it far more useful to the initial population than the alternatives that existed at the time.

Maybe in the sense that we're conditioned to always look for the "next thing".

The absolute worst situation I've gotten into was just the other day, when my team managed to check in two files with the same name, but different capitalization. The server (Bitbucket) is Linux-based, but all the workstations are Mac or PC, so the names collided on everyone's desktops. This prevented anyone from pulling or checking out a different branch, so even after master was fixed, everyone's environment stayed broken until someone figured out the right magic incantation (git rm --cached).

I heard so many times that JVM is much better than CLR, especially in the JIT area (Hotspot?).

If it's true, do the new .NET Core internals, allow .NET Core to beat JVM? If not, are there any additional steps planned to beat JVM at last?

.NET ecosystem is much smaller than Java's (for instance
all the Apache projects) and Linux + .NET Core happened too late to make up for it in my opinion. Hopefully, at least performance can be the point that can turn other people attention back towards C#/.NET.

"Why is it hard for them to use git? "

All I can do is quote what you wrote in a different comment:

I'm impressed by the pervasiveness of the belief that people won't, for the most part, try to do good work simply for the sake of taking pride in their work. It's such a remarkably pessimistic way to regard other people.
That sounds silly. "Pen and paper" worked for many, many years and I guarantee that it can still work. What you're implying is that people couldn't add up the numbers?

bitrise (https://www.bitrise.io) is the best that I've used so far for building iOS apps. Its elite package is also really fast if you can afford it. I've used travis (slow, 45 min build times) and gitlab-ci with a dedicated mac pro runner and bitrise wins hands down for speed and simplicity. Also don't forget fastlane (https://fastlane.tools). Most of my build configuration is in fastlane (for iOS and Android) and bitrise just triggers fastlane via the script step. Good luck!

I fully believe that plenty of these were not tested because of bias/incompetence/whatever.

With that said, I'm not sure if the idea of testing them primarily for database purposes was really on the radar in the 80s-90s. Did these national databases even exist in this sort of form then?

------------------

If the answer to that question is no, then a lot of them weren't tested for understandable reasons. You have a lot of cases that fit one of the following:

- The victim has decided it wasn't a rape/they don't want to pursue the case. As with domestic violence charges, there's a whole lot of these cases where the victim decides they no longer want to pursue it. And while the state can sometimes make a domestic violence case without victim cooperation, it's pretty much impossible to do so for a rape case. No one beats the shit out of themselves, so you can sometimes make a DV case stick without assistance from victim testimony/cooperation. People have sex consensually, so you mostly can't.

- There is a case the victim is cooperating with, but the (accused) rapist is known and is not disputing that the intercourse occurred, just if it was consensual. Testing the "rape kit" just proves intercourse, which is not what the trial is hinging on.

I was thinking of publishing and versioning of a different kind. For example, right now the only way to see how some website looked 10 years ago is to go to webarchive.org. 5% of all links on the web get broken every year. Isn't that something worth solving more systematically? In this respect content-addressable Web is a very interesting idea.

I'm fairly certain that blogs (and newsletters) are way more effective commercially when they dive deep on a topic. That's not a reason to do it that way--especially if it's just a side thing you do as a hobby or for publicity. But if it's something more serious it makes sense to compartmentalize your interests.

Ask HN: What are good places outside US to work as systems/data infra engineer?
I am an Indian immigrant in the SF bay area. I enjoy being a systems engineer. I have typically worked in infrastructure to handle data at scale which involves storage, indexing, distributed systems, handling general concurrency and consistency issues, etc. For some clarity, here are some companies I have or would love to work for: File systems(Pure Storage, Rubrik), Databases(FaunaDB, CockroachDB), Analytics infrastructure(Databricks, Confluent), Infrastructure as a service(AWS, Google, Digital Ocean).

I am here on an H1B. As the immigration situation is growing more untenable gradually, it is becoming apparent that staying in the US may not be a viable option for me in the long term.

There is Bangalore which is a decent choice(is it?). Aside from this, I would like to immigrate to Europe/Australia/North America. Which is a good (in terms of living standards, wages, employer options, etc) immigrant friendly place with interesting tech activity where I can continue the kind of work I am interested in?

Problems which are making me consider this:
- Long green card queue for India born people.
- H4 EAD being repealed.
I really hate this attitude. The same people who don't grok Make also don't grok git or bourne shell or who knows what else. Don't take shortcuts in understanding the fundamental tools of your stack. Your build system is just as important to your project as the code it's building!
The idea of quantum computing arose out of an attempt to make a better quantum mechanical simulator, which would allow for more efficient large molecule energy analysis, directly applicable to molecular biology.

The new computing model was later found to be generally useful and applicable to things like climate modeling too.

The simplistic intuition is that there are a lot of exact algorithms which are exponential, so we use clumsy polynomial approximations instead. A quantum computer makes many categories of exponential algorithms polynomial and therefore computable if a big and fast enough quantum computer can be built.
