A distributed system will never be as intuitive as MS Word, which is basically the digitized version of stone tables, or papyrus, or whatever thousands of years old thing we are already familiar with.

Or just remain a bit more strict and look at typewriters. Word is a typewriter. People look at typewriters and sort of understand them after pushing one-two buttons. Yes, there are hidden gems and details and a long road from mechanical typewriters to Word and laser printers (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRCNenhcvpw ), but people are a lot more intuitive about these pieces of hardware and software, because they are simply updates on existing tech.

Distributed systems is a new, and hitherto an explicitly unknown concept for many people.

And with minikube you can set up k8s as easily as MS Office. (Or you can use Typhoon https://typhoon.psdn.io .. )

And it's trivial to package up all this into a website, like Office 365 and GKE https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/ .

Or you can run it on your own PC with minikube and Virtualbox/KVM/qemu, and similarly you can install Office locally. But it does not make sense for one and it increasingly makes less for the other too.
Latex works fine but is far from perfect. People use it for lack of better options, but it's not exactly a joy to use (not for me at least). After 35 years, surely we can expect something better. So thanks to those working on that!
Any published app may not invoke telemetry according to their documentation. Only the CLI tools related to build or developer inner loop activities.

Of course it is, that's the whole point? Those guys get the deals, OPs point. So if you measure success by their individual success it's a tautology. However, hoe is it for the rest of society? I would claim it is not so clear. There is quite a bit of "success is when you are successful" in a lot of arguments I see around such topics, where the assumptions directly lead to the outcome followed by a "Q.E.D.".

For example, "Rich people deserve to be rich because they showed the ability to accumulate wealth." - Well, that was easy...

Or another one "good enough" products are good enough because they are bought. Investing any more, e.g. into making a software have less bugs, or an electronic device, or anything, last longer, are useless, or the market would already have provided that outcome. What a nice and easy circular argument. Imagine Gillette produced razors that last ten years, including blades. Very bad for them! Would it be bad for the mankind overall? If you believe in "the market" then yes, it would be bad for mankind. You can take any other product and company, incl. all the "lemon market" stuff. If the market prevents you from voluntarily doing better (because you will be outcompeted) it must be what is good for everyone or the market would not have produced that outcome, Q.E.D.

I think that while the skill is obviously extremely valuable, also to society, what you can get with it is too much. It always leads to optimal outcomes if you already believe it does (because "market", magic word).

Just like in biochemistry a reaction can be enzyme-limited or substrate-limited, i.e. the path is too hard or there is not enough supply, I think the rewards for being well-connected are oversized because we don't have an issue with too few people desiring to be well-connected, but that the path is hard. Paying more does nothing to how hard it is to become well connected, and increasing the desirability of being well-connected doesn't do anything either.

Who's talking about transpiling and mega-frameworks? I'm simply talking about the headache of managing dependencies on a reasonably complex project. The "mega-frameworks", by which I assume you mean products such as Angular, React, Vue, etc., are often not the worst offenders when it comes to external dependencies. Of course, when you start pulling in extensions that story can change, but that can be true of pulling in any other library that provides equivalent functionality (where such exists).
And of course also caused problems there. Check Project Zero advisories (iirc found by jhorn).

>> The loot box mechanism is straightforward: you buy a box for a fixed price, and you receive a random reward. Some rewards are commonplace and low value; others are rare and high value. So far, so gambling: these essential features are found in roulette, slot machines, betting on horses, raffles, and lotteries.

Er. And Magic: the Gathering booster packs.

Does that mean I have a gambling problem then? Because I had hoped that despite my M:tG habit [1], I was not really-really a gambler.

Like all things, there must be a sense of context and proportionality. This issue is specifically about the .NET Core SDK command line tools.

Getting data about which commands are used most, if they're successful or throwing errors, possible typos, unclear command flags, etc, are useful when shipping software frameworks used by 10s of millions to build products that run the entire Fortune 500 and thousands of other businesses.

This is not ubiquitous spyware, and is about as generic as it gets while still remaining useful. Every software company (many of which are featured here on HN) does the same analytical tracking to figure out how their products are being used and it results in better features. What exactly is the danger here, especially with the lack of personal info and an opt-out method?

They even make the data public along with insights into how it helped: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/07/21/what-weve...
https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/ .. easy as Office365.

With GitLab you can deploy to k8s directly. Like Word and let's say SharePoint.

Also, there are a lot of folks doing this commoditization and packaging up k8s in various ways to make it more usable for a wider audience.

You're comparing k8s to Word instead of Windows kernel. Or maybe instead of .NET.
FYI: For those of you who enjoy articles like these, https://stratechery.com/ might be worth your while ;)
Basically agree that simple things should be simple and complex things possible - and that’s from my experience not yet met with standard k8s.

And having no „end users“ (app developers) on a conference about tools that should serve exactly these is an interesting observation to investigate further.

Having to install one mire tool to get ready for production apps installed with helm in one command is not asked too much, though.

Then, slighty unrelated, but it comes to my mind:

i wonder if this happy path thing works with influx, where the author is working.

Can i have a simple single command and install everything i need to look at logs from my app and db server, see most important performance stats and http/ip access logs, geaphical as well as with notifications if certain, easily to be entered ( and in case of cou, io, ram and diskspace reasonable defaults like 80% or so) thresholds are met?

Can i do that with only the free open source tools as the author expects it from the k8s ecosystem?
Or do i get it when buying influx‘s professional service?

So maybe it’s the job of, and an opportunity for, commercial companies to develop and sell such simplifying tools.
At some place, developers time to develop all these things must be paid for - if millions of developers just use the perfectly polished open source tools - and a high percentage doesn’t even help in development with big reports, not to think of patches, what are the developers going to live from while doing the polishing/ simplifying?
Also in MTG there's a lot of people who will happily play unrestricted games for fun. Unless you're after playing at tournaments you can ignore editions and new releases. (Or just pick what's interesting to you in them)

With digital goods, the distributor can stack the odds against you to make you spend more money. They know what you want and they can make sure you don't get it.

And then you possibly don't realize how much you've spent, because unlike real cards, digital ones don't pile up.

It's definitely different.
They solve different (and even complementary) use cases. Web Components allow you to easily share things like date pickers without having to wait for those things to standardise and be implemented in browsers, whereas React gives you a clean and easy to follow application architecture where your view is simply the output of a function that takes application state as input.
This should link to the entire github issue, not a single person's recent comment in a 2 year old thread. Also the title should be changed to clarify "telemetry".

Yes I have. Last time I did it via a dialogue that would pop-up asking the user to submit the information along with a text area that contained all the information being sent.

It's possible to get the information you want and respect your users.

Yeah, but the question is: is gambling ramping up at the same rate as games with lootboxes?

Also, gambling is usually restricted, either by location or by age. Are games with lootboxes 18+?
I don't know if they bribe each other, but there's definitely a lot of people shilling garbage libraries because they have income streams dependent on it. Certain people here have alerts set up for certain topics so they can come in and astroturf. You'll be able to spot them if you keep a look out for it.

They specifically target noob questions/discussions, post links to their blogs that talk about certain dependencies. The articles themselves have very little substance, they're full of buzzwords and spend all their words making ambiguous claims, for example they'll say that the dependency makes your code "scale", but won't give any examples from a large code-base, especially not any comparing to the alt case (without the dependency). They make claims about performance, but don't elaborate, don't show benchmarks (or the'll show benchmarks that don't apply to 99% of projects, kind of like how immutableJS is obviously not faster unless you're working with big data structures, which you almost never are in your standard CRUD app where everything is paginated server side).

This shit is everywhere, and there's a lot of people with a vested interest in making sure these tools propagate as much as possible.

Most of the world's population lives in third and second world countries. You're absolutely right that the centralized fiat gateways are the obvious, censurable bottlenecks of crypto-currency, and there's no good way around that, but crypto-currency itself is still an attractive way for many people, to move their money out of very restrictive regimes. The centralized exchange problem is mainly a problem of creating a black/grey market economy, with crypto-currency as it's main unit of value transfer, which of course is a whole other can of worms.

But I agree that, right now, they are not the worst offender, at least with Overwatch (I haven't played Hearstone and I haven't played enough of HotS to reach the lootboxes).
FORTRAN is only faster than C because it doesn't allow aliasing. Use the `restrict` keyword in C and you should get FORTRAN-like performance.
Why is it impossible? We do that all the time in countries that are not USA. Sometimes it is even successful. This all depends on how budget is allocated.

The main drawback is currently that people do not vote directly on budget allocation and representatives have vested interests more often than not. (Except perhaps in Switzerland.) We could change it, but transitioning such a system would be hard and there's always excuses of "strategy" involved.

As to art itself..
Governments also sponsor some forms of art. (Sometimes this gets corrupted or politicised.)

How do you suppose you can have a censorship resistant currency if all a bad state actor has to do is punish anyone who mines a transaction they don't like.

I don’t mean to be glib, but nothing is perfect. What some of the other posters are alluring to is that the ability to organize deals and market a product is an essential skill in running a business. If product A is technically superior, but there is not sufficient business talent to sustain a business on it, then the quality is moot.

What you’re describing here, sales people lying about capabilities and then failing to deliver, is something that maybe happens in complex business to business transactions, where the product is a set of services and products that defy “apples to apples” comparison.

Again, the sales and marketing are integral to the product. I don’t believe companies will survive if they practice outright fraud on their customers. This is not an easy problem. For the example, simpleminded approaches like forcing government to accept the lowest cost bid on complicated products has tremendous downside.

FWIW, managing people, organizations, setting up deals, marketing...these are “hard” skills. What makes them hard is that the parameters of the “problem space” are almost infinitely complex, the work product is ambiguous, and often the involves the focused cooperation of people, who are notoriously unpredictable.

Managed systems comprises of “soft components” is a very hard challenge.
There seems to be a common belief that the 'modern' era is somehow different to the past. I'm open to the idea, but in the most part it seems based on so little data that it can be discounted.

Maybe Wolfe has got some evidence, but I tend to be skeptical of those kinds of arguments. My default assumption is that people are exhibiting a historical or narrative bias.

The late 20th century didn't produce Sun Tzu or Machiavelli, for example, so it seems like counter-examples are available. Would love to see data.

I tried giving Emacs a shot again recently because I now use windows at work and it's easier to get Emacs working on windows with all the features rather than trying to get vim/neovim with myriad of different outside plugins.

But I won't be switching simply because indentation in html/css/js files is off and apparently Emacs is bad at handling stuff like jsx and web stuff in general. Shame.
How do you think that GDPR is the optimal way to achieve... Well, what exactly are you saying is the goal? You are only alluding, thus letting everyone complete your argument with whatever they may find most credible.

IMO, it's that a) people in EU care more about privacy and b) the political influence of the data processors in question isn't as strong as in the USA.

b) (with swapped roles) is the reason why the diesel emissions cheating and the FIFA bribery cases were investigated in the USA. They were open secrets, but nobody did anything about them in their countries of origin because of regulatory capture.

This sort of thing is going to keep happening, and not just because game publishers are greedy bastards.

These days, it's very, very difficult to make a profit on a AAA game at only $60 a pop, but if anyone tries to raise that price the fans will cry bloody murder. So publishers are desperately trying to find ways to make up the difference. Cosmetic sales, DLC packs, loot boxes, anything. Making loot boxes illegal doesn't fix the problem; it just pushes it somewhere else.

It is right there in the "Escaping continuations" section. Escaping early means you can use it to write simple things like "drop" and "take", and lazy evaluation. I believe, though I do not know for sure, that this is how lazy evaluation is implemented in lisps, including Clojure.

Also it allows you to write a threading implementation like coroutines in another section below.

Generally it does this: you have a process, say that does A, B, C, D and E. You let it run and save it at, say "C". The continuation is the rest of the process, "D" and "E". So now you go and do something else, say a process from J to U. Somewhere in there, you can whip out your continuation and it does "D" and "E". You are simply bookmarking something to do later because you gotta go do something else.

In coroutines, you run one, stop and save the continuation and switch to another, run, stop, save and switch, and so on and so on, and then jump back and resume the original etc.

Just because someone gambles doesn't automatically mean they have a "gambling problem". But I certainly don't see why M:tG booster packs wouldn't be considered gambling, as well.

Not all needs, and even the same need can be either strength or weakness. For example - just being afraid of "dull" is kind of weakness where is curiosity and drive for exploration is more like a strength. The same for the community - needing it in order just to not feel lonely (basically to satisfy your own need) looks to be a weakness where is wanting/building community/team to achieve some goal looks more like a strength to me.
Yes, this. And the BTB is always slower than a direct call.

The first call always takes a big hit, only then it will be cached and subsequent calls are about the same speed is direct calls, with 1-2 cycs overhead. The address rarely changes, so it will always be in the first level BTB. But still.
Paddle’s aggressive sales team really pissed me off. They tried to get me to switch from Fastspring, and just wouldn’t stop emailing me.

The biggest thing they had going for them was that they’re a EU company, but with Brexit that no longer applies either (if Brexit ever actually happens...).

Maybe at some point I’ll reconsider, but 1% of revenue is not going to be enough reason to switch.
But that's a lot less than what Blizzard is making on lootboxes (4 billion, just on lootboxes). And MtG is the biggest of its type, whereas the lootbox industry is much bigger. So I think the difference of scale is important before a legislation is considered.
