They can sue all they want. But they'll lose.

A petition by 3000 employees (or, to be honest, 30) is enough to claim that it was in the company's interest to forgo this revenue to improve their standing among potential hires. Remember that tech companies live and die by the quality of their workforce.

Moreover, the idea that companies always have to act according to strict profit motivations is a myth. Just look at the billions corporations spend each year on charitable causes.

Yes, you could claim that these donations are done for PR purposes. But that would render your argument meaningless, because I can reframe any such altruistic actions in terms of PR. I have also personally witnessed many decisions that cost money but served some greater good and were never publicised.
The reason we aren't going to war with Russia is because Russian leaders know that it is impossible to win a war against the current US military.

The reason it's impossible to win a war against the current US military is because the US has spent an obscene amount of money building it for decades.

If the US military were not capable of defending Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics would be under Russian rule today.
Please don't take HN threads further into generic ideological tangents. They're all more or less the same, which means they contain no new information, which means we don't learn from them, which means they're not interesting in HN's sense of "gratifying intellectual curiosity" (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), which means they're roundly off topic here.

What makes HN topics and discussions interesting are the diffs from other topics and discussions. Therefore the generic is what we're most trying to avoid.

Most people gate-camp to try to get actual kills, not empty capsules from people just trying to get from point A to point B. And there's plenty of counterplay for insta-warping bubble immunity (i.e. smart bombs). Gate camps are still very common.

Improved deployments, repeatable builds, easier monitoring, makes it platform-agnostic, easier networking, resource limits. There are many reasons.

And, as other people have pointed out, a docker container isn't a VM. It's a chroot process with a bunch of tooling around provisioning, networking, security, etc around it.

One of the big wins of docker is that it allows you to ship file-systems around and run them as if they were binaries.

Isnt that actually in the same vein as what Tidal did/is doing? They even had exclusives, and I dont really think, its working out for them. Worth remembering, that most artist dont make real money on streaming, they make money playing live, merch etc.

He's right though, on a modern linux desktop you can typically make through a GUI.

But sure, there are edge cases where you might need to use the terminal or edit a configuration file.

As an analogy, in Windows I've occasionally had to make configuration changes through regedit.

That doesn't mean it's normal to have to make changes in the registry on Windows, it can usually be done through the gui
It took 2 years for a country that values personal freedoms and international free trade/security to decide that the Axis powers winning the war would be bad for both.

Also, the US formally joined the war in 1941, but were providing material support to the Allies and otherwise prepping before then.
> Seems that that mainly is in the creditors' interest, not the public's.

It's in the public's interest to have a functioning credit system. We can use some information to determine creditworthiness, or we can give everyone the same terms.

Under blind terms, not only can none of us afford loans and interest rates feel predatory, you risk a moral hazard where fraud cannibalizes the entire system.

I shouldn't have to argue this though, it's evident from the underlying facts of the case. The Spanish government itself decided there was a public interest in this information, that's why they demanded it was published in the first place.

> You're being willfully obtuse here. If you know exactly what the European Court ordered, you also know its rationale...

The insult seems unnecessary and counterproductive. I don't expect you'll believe me, but for the record, I'm actually making a good faith argument here because I find their rationale incredibly tortured. They conclude that something can be lawfully published, but not lawfully repeated. "Publish" implies the possibility of publicity though, they have the same root! It genuinely seems to me they were trying to have their cake and eat it too.
I'd argue that fundamental human rights means rights that exist inherently regardless of whether the UN or any given country recognizes them.

My feeling is that people have a right to self defense, which would require them to have access to some effective weapon. In theory that could be a club or blade rather than a firearm; however, currently firearms are the only (somewhat) socially acceptable weapon to carry in the united states.

No, George Orwell was a professional name for a real person; there's no fictional character.

There are fictional characters that are listed as authors of actual books (Richard Castle comes to mind) but a mere pen name is not a fictional person.
The US was always on the allied side, through funding and supplies. The whole reason the Lusitania was sunk was because the US was sending arms to support the Allied war effort, even if it wasn't officially declared. Even if it wasn't until Pearl Harbor that the US joined the war officially, there is little doubt what side Roosevelt and much of the American people wanted to win.
That's absolutely terrifying. Seems to me like a systemic problem if the pilots didn't felt like they couldn't report their symptoms/or felt forced to work even though such a serious event happened the previous day.
Transparency would help.

If they told you what was being blocked and why and also gave the recipient the option to override the block, then I think the slippery slope problem is minimized.
This video shows about the status quo for current level of automation of car manufacturing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TubOzvqOCmI

As you can see starting at 12:00 or so, humans are everywhere for wire harness installation and final assembly. Tesla wishes to make wire harnesses drastically simpler for Model Y and wishes to automate final assembly as well. Many industry experts think that automating to that degree is a fool's errand.

A lot of the pain Tesla is experiencing in ramping up is by trying to automate things the industry normally doesn't. If they can get through this initial period and make this higher level of automation actually work smoothly, they'll have a significant edge. If.

It's probably less than you think. Humans - just by virtue of existence - produce a huge amount of CO2, both through the air they breathe, the meat they eat, the automobiles they get to work in, the heavy machinery used to build those roads & buildings, the manufactured goods they consume, etc. And the CO2 cost of a developer isn't just that one developer's emissions; it's also those of all the support staff needed, from managers/admins/HR at work to the food service workers that serve them meals out to the doctors/lawyers/therapists and other service providers they visit to the parents that raised them.

It's almost certain one developer generates more CO2 than any reasonable number of servers that run their code. Anything that reduces manpower costs is a net positive for emissions. Besides, when the equation changes (say, when the software enters maintenance mode but the servers stay up), they'll be a strong economic incentive to spend the developer time to rewrite it more efficiently.
None, I'm using google.
That sounds like an awful environment.

Someone I know was "walked out" from the UK Ministry of Defence. He wasn't allowed to touch anything after being informed, but he was taken to his desk and asked what was his -- pictures of his children and so on.

(British employment law requires employers to give a notice period, but the employee doesn't have to be at work. This person would have then had three-six months "gardening leave" on full pay.)

You need a tool like this to monitor run-time browser errors. When browsers support a language that catches 100% of errors at compile time then you won't need tools like this.

But I see what you're saying. Except for the declarative style popularized by React and also implemented in Mithril, Preact and Inferno, and except for the rise in popularity of TypeScript, and except for a lot of attention paid lately to immutable data structures, and except for jslint being created in 2002 and lots of similar tools since then, and except for the wide variety of JavaScript-based unit test frameworks, it really seems like the JavaScript community has no clue that there are ways to prevent the errors you describe and no inclination to prevent them.
FWIW, Java on the desktop is alive and well, including games and IDEs. For example, Spine is best in class 2D animator.

If we already have nukes, why would we need anything else?

Nukes prevent any war from happening between any powerful nation.

The only use for the other types of weapons is to participate in some other civil war in another country that we shouldn't be in.

So no, I don't care if we "fall behind" because we still have nukes and those are enough to protect us in the conflicts that matter.

As for "avoid this". Really? this is part of Javascript, developers should understand it instead of "avoiding" it.

> It is rarely required and most anything can be achieved with very basic JS objects and functions which are simpler to work with, easier to reason about and easier to write tests for.

This is straight out false. It's no harder to "reason about" or "to write tests for". I get the impression that a tiny group of people are trying to push these ideas desperately for whatever reason, but it makes no sense, you're not the custodians of the language.
The Aviation Herald is recognized as accepted industry service for safety relevant occurrences. This is the closest you get to first-hand, factual and objective journalism. It does not intend to bring any argument forward (like opinion-making "journalism"), but instead inform people, primary aviators themselves. Thats also the reason for the technical wording.

Machinists handbook from the 60's era. I value it for the pre computer ways of thinking. Lots of gold in that one.

MOS 6502 series data book.

Moto 6809 Programmers Reference.

I actually had someone take me to the local Motorola office to get the 6809 book. Docs were free for the asking, and a kid asking was quite the event. Aspects of that conversation were important to my life.

I still have occasion to do paid work, and enjoy fun projects with both chips, and or variants seen today. These are few and far between, but very enjoyable. Mostly perspective and nostalgia in these. It's my roots.

I had the "pleasure" of attending an OOP course at uni taught by Stéphane Ducasse. I didn't learn much OOP but i learned that pharo is an utter piece of garbage.

The IDE randomly crashes, corrupts images (all your work is in the persistent image) and randomly ignores clicks making it insanely frustrating to use. Git integration is "WIP" which means it sometimes silently deletes files or you just don't get it to work at all. Branches are not implemented, glhf resolving conflicts on a team project. Oh, and it saves your passwords in plain text.

Error messages will keep opening until you kill the "IDE" and undo will sometimes delete half your code with no way back (maybe that's why you're supposed to keep methods small?). It's a bit ironic that Mr. Ducasse calls himself an "expert on software quality".

Here's our final project, the weekly reports document our "learning" experience: https://gitlab.fit.cvut.cz/taibrmar/sokoban-using-bloc

Most students had similar feelings and the response to the course was overwhelmingly negative.
I wouldn't. The end-game of having governments with the hyper-selective power to kill a particular individual is not pretty. This is the sort of thing that we want to keep expensive as long as possible, not cheaper and easier.
I watched the first season a while ago, and was shocked how badly some small businesses are run, and somehow they stay in business for years. And then the owners often fight to keep them in the crappy state for no good reason.
Any guide that said that was wrong. In-game skills help, but actual ability and knowledge matters a lot more. There were guides like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de1hwoFYA_k where people used brand new trial accounts to go get good kills.

But yes, they've made it a lot easier to just hop in without the need to train for anything.
A fun little tidbit for you all.

As far as FAA is concerned, this death will not count as related to that fume situation. For something to be an "accident", it must meet a few criteria, one of them is causing a death or serious injury. A fatal injury related to an accident is defined in 8020.11C as

> Fatal Injury - any injury which results
> in death within 30-days of the accident.

It will not even count as a "serious injury"

> Serious Injury - any injury which: (1)
> requires hospitalization for more than 48
> hours, commencing within 7-days from the
> date an injury was received; (2) results
> in a fracture of any bone (except simple
> fractures of fingers, toes, or nose); (3)
> causes severe hemorrhages, or nerve,
> muscle, or tendon damage; (4) involves
> any internal organ; or (5) involves
> second- or third-degree burns, or any
> burns affecting more than 5-percent of
> the body surface.

>I'd vote for Belgium.

I always laugh when people suggest these meek tiny European states should be in charge of running the world and how much more civilized they are. The reality is that these countries aren't meek by choice and we already know from history what a country like Belgium would do if given a tiny sliver of power.

I prefer to view the internet as amplifier. Per se, it's not good or bad. It just amplifies whatever it has on its inputs. The inputs of early internet were nerdy, but we mistook this nerdy utopia of internet as good force for axiom. Now internet amplifies whatever humans are and boy its ugly.

I rely mostly on hypertext for referencing, mostly through Dash for macOS and man pages. Books that I still occasionally reference:

- Speech and Language Processing, Jurafsky & Martin

- K&R

- Sedgewick & Wayne, but more for teaching than anything else.

In a previous life:

- The C++ Standard Library, Nicolai Josuttis,

- C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4, Jasmin Blanchette and Mark Summerfield

- The C++ Programming Language, Bjarne Stroustrup

- Effective Java, Joshua Bloch

- Scott Meyers' Effective C++ books.
There are actions taken to prevent mass shootings. Background checks, mandatory waiting periods, gun free zones, banning certain guns.

Stop acting like there are no laws about guns, as that's ridiculous. Funny how in Parkland and it seems even with the YouTube office the police were aware of threats these people posed and did nothing. Seems like there should be more scrutiny put on the police, instead of a push to rely on them to defend the public; something they aren't even legally obligated to do.
If they didn't scan and detect child porn, there would be articles about how they're letting people get away with sharing child porn on Messenger. It seems there's no way for Facebook to win here, given that people want both complete privacy and also no illicit activity on the platform.

As an Indian, I hope it is the USA. At the end of the day, it has to be a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural democracy or I fear for what the world will become. And I say that even while agreeing that many military actions the US has taken in the past have been terrible.

Note : I do not agree with the petition, but the question was too tempting.
No, it is because of the nukes.

Nukes prevent any war from happening between any powerful nation.

If we spent 1 tenth the amount on our military, we'd still have the power to blow up the entire world X times over.

I just think that if you have the ability to destroy the entire world, then that's a powerful enough military and you don't need anything more for defense.
But that's the metric everyone uses to gauge a language.

Look at all the complaining about Lisp and Rust syntax which boils down to "ugh, this is unfamiliar."

But to answer your question, I think they are both within a pebble toss distance of each other. But still much harder than other languages due to `this`. `class` just unifies some patterns people were doing like inheritance.
To add to this, the "transparent aluminum" is really aluminum oxynitride crystals.

Something like 2% of the US power consumption goes to data centers.

But think about this... how much CO2 would you spend getting developers to work every day so they can reduce CO2 somewhere else? I suspect the biggest users of DC power, in terms of code, are already written in languages like C++.

I have two book recommendations that seem like exactly what you're looking for. Both are written by me, so I'm totally biased.

The NO BULLSHIT guide to MATH & PHYSICS is a 3-in-1 combo book that includes a high school math review, mechanics, and calculus. Preview: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSguide_v5_previ...

The NO BULLSHIT guide to LINEAR ALGEBRA covers all the standard LA material, and also discusses lots of interesting applications (graphs, graphics, crypto, quantum computing).
Preview: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSguide2LA_previ...

I put a lot of effort into making them with an "easy ramp up" so anyone with basic math background can pick up. If you don't remember you high school math in details, you can still handle. You can buy print versions on amazons or ebook on gumroad. See website for links: https://minireference.com/
There's certainly enough opportunity to work for a more peaceful world instead - scenarios where two large military powers clash should probably better be avoided anyway, so it's probably even a more productive use of one's time than optimizing for yet another variant of mutually assured destruction.
The problem is that we have designed ourselves into an architectural cul-de-sac when it comes to processors. We have fifty-plus years of evolution on programming methodologies built on top of von Neumann architectures. Moore's Law has given us decades of exponential gain without significant challenge to that architecture, and now that Moore's Law is reaping diminishing returns in terms of compute performance we are in the situation where we'd have to go backward forty years on our programming model in order to take advantage of a superior (given today's technology) architecture. For example, FPGAs can in many cases outperform von Neumann machines by orders of magnitude in terms of compute performance and (more importantly) performance per watt. However, the programming model and ecosystem for FPGAs is worse than primitive. Something you could write in a couple hundred lines of C code could take months to get up and running on an FPGA. We need a way to transition from von Neumann computing to alternative architectures without starting over on computer science. Or, perhaps recent trends in neural networks will eliminate the need for that?
