While your grievances are valid, I feel like you're missing the point. Or perhaps you think of programming than he does. It is certainly true that in a situation where all you want to do is get a task done, then what you should really think about is the best tool for completing the task (sometimes its a spreadsheet but programmers will often go for a little python instead). But in the case where your just programming for the sake of programming. Where programming is the ends and the problem you're solving is the means, this is where the nit-picky language comparisons blogs I think start to happen and I think its great.
I think a more interesting question is: why do so many people ask this question? Whether you stand or don’t stand has no bearing on the speed of deplaning. Since everyone stands, you can choose to stand or not stand. You may as well stand since otherwise someone will stand where you would stand and cut ahead of you. And you’ve been sitting for ages. Either way it makes no difference. People who stand are not “slowing everyone down”, they are rational actors. I think the premise of the question assumes that people who stand are somehow acting irrationally, when they are not.

I'm not frustrated, but these threads show up on HN almost weekly now, with armchair quarterbacks who really are not current on the state of open source opining ill informed opinions. They even know we are new owners who immediately killed all the bad stuff, and still blame us. I cared about SourceForge, so I bought it and removed DevShare, and still get the blame. People know that we having nothing to do with the old owners, but recreational online outrage is fun, so they continue to blame us for saving it. Cognitive dissonance is en vogue right now. I guess if someone's lonely Sunday night is made better by shitting on the people who did everything in their power to save SourceForge, then go for it. I just think people's time can be used better.
Do you have a source for that (DeviceAtlas or similar)?
I see Western is about a weak social structure.

You don't just respect your grandparents or your boss or your parents or your culture or your coworker. There's no hierarchy.

Respect is earned, and it's constantly challenged.

For Mexico to be Western it would mean a movie like "Coco" is so utter bullshit it totally disrespects the entire country. This I didn't hear, hence I would not say Mexico is Western.

Without the blind respect of your boss or company, the theory is money reigns supreme and the country gets richer, hence why western countries are richer.

The fact you as a Mexican take offence kinda means to me you're not too western. If you were western you'd give less of a fuck about the place where you came from being mis-classified, it'd be more about who you are as a person. (Unless it's because people are stupid and don't realise what a country you know well is really like, that would be annoying)
React Native vs. Cordova, PhoneGap, Ionic Etc.
One problem that I found with Lineage without GApps (using microG) was that GPS was done for. I couldn't use any map application for navigation, nor book a cab using Uber (their web interface kept denying my payment methods), etc. There were times when I was at a tough spot with friends and family -- trying to book a cab but couldn't. Again, using Uber is sending a tracking signal but it's either that or paying 2x the amount to a local cab.

So google play services is the necessary evil that I have to keep using even after switching to Lineage. I'm back to using them again, but PlayStore and PlayServices are the only two google apps that I have currently. I try getting most of my apps from FDroid -- my filter for "good" apps is mostly how active the repo is, not great but it works.

I've moved my mail over to Fastmail, and looking alternatives to Google Drive (Backblaze B2 is one that I'm thinking of). The problem with all of these non-google alternatives is although they're only slightly inconvenient for me, they're almost impossible for my family to use (B2 for example doesn't have an app).
Great comment!!

One of the problems I have is that I love python, but I was hoping that swift would be like python on steroids. Instead, I can’t make the leap because python lets me iterate so freaking fast. If I could have something like that with the ability to incrementally improve my code and compile to a binary, I’d be happy. I thought awift would be it, but your comment helped me understand why it isn’t working for me.

Full disclosure, I’m not a full time dev, so YMMV.
> don't like is that their CPUs are pin based

To me that's a win. If a CPU pin is bent it's typically fairly easy to straighten it. Fixing a bent pin a socket is a massive pain.

But it's much easier to protect socket pins with the cover. So there are pros and cons either way.
My mother is one of 12 kids. My father grew up on a farm, dirt poor. Your description to some degree fits my childhood. There were some really good things about growing up that way.

But I was not thinking about romanticizing rural poverty. I was thinking about unfairly vilifying modern people whose choices grow out of wildly different circumstances, as if "your children should be doing more chores!" is yet one more metric to feel pressured by because two career couples trying to keep the family housed in a world where you can't afford to have a full-time parent at home really need yet one more reason to feel like failures who just aren't trying hard enough.

> I was not thinking about romanticizing rural poverty

This is why I led with “but yeah”. I am agreeing with you.

> two career couples trying to keep the family housed in a world where you can't afford to have a full-time parent at home really need yet one more reason to feel like failures who just aren't trying hard enough.

Living in San Francisco, we know many couples who need to keep both parents working and would love to take much more time off work to raise their kids if they could afford it, but also many couples who have plenty of extra cash and still keep both parents working and offload child-rearing to nannies or daycare or grandparents, sometimes it seems because the parents just have no idea how to interact with children or would rather stay at the office. (Maybe that’s unfair; just my anecdotal impression.)

It is definitely a great luxury that I can stay home with my kid while my wife works full time. But taking care of a kid is also pretty time consuming and emotionally demanding.

We have 40 years of legacy code in C but essentially all of it fails catastrophically at random. If we ever want a platform that actually works we have to start from zero undefined behavior.
You can take advantage of that. I have bought one great apartment and one great house because nobody else wanted to bid on it, as it was ugly inside. A lick of paint or new wallpaper was all that was needed. Admitily, the house has taken a few years to get up to scratch, but in the meantime it doubled in value, according to external estimates.
If Chinas leadership was smart they would push for open source commodity ics.

Opensource always wins and they could do a run around the US where old technologies like x86 die and all the experience built around then becomes irrelevant.
I am not sure what you mean. RMS himself expressed many times that the copyright term should be shortened.

Remember, the copyright was created in order to promote creativity. If the term was short enough, then lots of useful software could be created based on the source code that is in public domain which was previously monetized by being closed source. This additional software would be an economic win for everybody.
Ask HN: Your experience with Netgear 7000P wireless router?
Wirecutter recommends Netgear (R7000P-100NAS) Nighthawk AC2300 for most people. It has everything I want: dual-band, load-balancing band steering, beamforming, good performance (maybe not?), 802.11ac, etc., but most important, an easy setup.

https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wi-fi-router/

However there are tons of Amazon reviews stating the router stopped working early and connection drops frequently. Now, I know reviews can be fake. What is your experience with it or do you have any recommendation for a similar easy to set up router?
On the other Hand, you wouldn’t need a UI abstraction layer on embedded, because those things don’t have standard controls and code is often platform specific, not portable.

Ryzen chips scale in performance more than Intel when you overclock the RAM. Some part of the chip cache is more tightly coupled to the RAM latency, and my rampant speculation is that Intel doesn’t really care about memory bandwidth as much on the desktop anyways.

One of the example ethereum contracts on the ethereum website is a Kickstarter implementation.

Things given for free are always a success story.

Had AT&T been allowed to charge for UNIX since the beginning and not 10 years later after being split by the government and C would have been a footnote on the history of systems programming languages.

It's possible but harder IMO -- on the web the force drawing you together must be pretty strong, since there are a billion others there too, so why make the effort?

You mentioned the exceptions - both of which didn't happen 5 years ago. Is it crazy to believe that we may have Tarnsap-like storage from Apple in a few years.

Side note: I don't think Apple will ever encrypt iCloud iPhone backups because that would make it difficult to use them (how would you restore an iPhone backup to a new device if your old one was incinerated? Your private key would be gone)
I agree, I have no idea how to pronounce the words unfortunately, but lots of it resembles bavarian, or even allemanic dialect.

E.g. "s’błimła (‘flower’)" - "s'Blüamle" (allemanic)

Obviously this comparison would benefit from using a phonetic scripture.

$50 per year for what is arguably one of the most important services/tools you use? That's not very expensive to me.
Idk I think US has bigger problems than whether it's semiconductor tech gets stolen. Social media and the news media have created such a dysfunctional environment that I am finding it increasingly hard to believe constructive debate/solutions on anything are possible until the underlying environment producing the dysfunction is cleaned up. If not we are just going to get more and more leaders from both sides propped up purely for skills to pander.
Agreed times a million. I'm still blown away by how there is not a common npm-like C/C++ package manager. I know there are a few that are trying to make it happen, but still... Its really the widespread adoption that makes these things valuable.
I'm drinking Kool Aid? OK. I'm mostly arguing about the use of Static Analysis and other typical means of verifying programs, and the ineffectiveness of those verification methods on neural networks. People use that as an argument against the safety of NNs.

Set of all computer programs has two subsets.

S = { s | Static Analysis can be performed on s }

N = { n | n makes use of a neural network } with N ⊄ S

Let n ∈ N and s ∈ S. There are a certain set of programming tasks

T = { t | t can be solved with n but not s }

Thus any claim that using n to solve t is "unsafe" because you cannot perform Static Analysis on it is absolute BS, because programs s ∈ S can't even solve the damn problem!
I'd say it's a bad local situation (no bike lanes to speak off, narrow crowded sidewalks) and bad attitude.

The joke is that a scooter comes with a Bluetooth speaker, playing EDM music at full volume.. and that joke is somewhat based on the situation here.

There were a number of really bad accidents as well, those scooters can be really heavy. Run over a kid or an old woman, bonus points for driving off afterwards, and the bad rep is hard to avoid.

I like the tech, the climate here would be quite ideal for these things. Unfortunately there's no good place to ride them so far..

> and to believe that other cultures are simply going to happily go along with that logic in the long run seems foolish

This framing is problematic. It's not other "cultures" that are resistive to the idea of liberalism and democratic ideals, it's the despots that lead and control those governments that are resistant. How many non Western cultures have thrived under democracies with individual liberties? Japan, a country with a culture that cares little about individualism is one of the most prosperous nations ever.

Are you one of the three people in the world who can write C++ code without security holes? If not, I'd say it's worth it. That was half joking. :)

The half serious answer I can give is: Do you have a job offer you want to take or at least a solid plan how you can use it professionally?
There are so many C++ jobs, that you can most likely find another one that meets all your other requirements (location, salary, domain, etc.), should you decide to leave your current one. I don't think that is the case for Rust yet (But I'm rooting for it! :)

The second point is also my answer for OP.
You're responding to a technocratic argument about how to allocate taxes equitably with a moralistic argument that taxes are good. From a meta-debate perspective this is both infuriating and tragically common. Details matter. Incentives matter. "Taxes are actually good" isn't a reason to stop caring about which taxation schemes produce the best outcomes or are more fair.

"Punishment" carries some unnecessary connotation. How about "disincentive." People respond to incentives; good policy exploits this by taxing the things society wants less of. Failing that, it levies taxes that don't depend much on behavior, to avoid undesired distortions.

The argument is not that corporations have some kind of right to their income that's being unfairly abridged. It's that taxing corporations is sloppy: the true cost of the tax falls on consumers, workers, and owners in not-very-deliberate proportions. If you want to put the burden on "the richest," great, so do I. But let's tax those actual people.
My ancestors a few generations back who lived in the American west (or a generation or two before that were rural peasants in western Europe), and my rural Mexican peasant friends today live pretty similarly. You could take many stories of white Americans’ own great-great-grandparents who migrated to the US from Europe, change all the names and places (but few of the other details), and the story would be entirely plausibly that of an undocumented Mexican or Central American migrant today. This is one of the reasons that anti-immigrant hysteria is so ironically and tragically hypocritical.

I think it would be fair to call frontier America “non-Western” in the sense of the word used by this discussion. Maybe “non-industrialized” would be a better word.

jordigh: if you grew up in a middle class Spanish-speaking family in a city in Mexico, you are most certainly “Western” in the sense used here.
There is no problem with Swift, it is just another language following the good principles of safe systems languages from 60 and 70's, going on outside AT&T walls.

Fines are accounted as overhead.

Watching network traffic is limited to circumstantial evidence, and not even that without a circumstantially isolated environment. Those are a couple of scenarios where these accusations can be made.
> I believe almost no Fab manufacturing happens in the US anymore.

That's incorrect. The US has four or five dozen fabs. It's one of the largest fab manufacturers globally, along with Taiwan, China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea. The US is likely to grow its domestic fab manufacturing over the next decade, thanks to the new lower corporate income tax rate and tighter restrictions on IP exportation (those two things lured Broadcom home).

> how long will it take to reverse engineer?

That's where China faces a problem: that only works if you have no plans to integrate further into the global economy.

For the most part, the EU, North America, South America, Australia/NZ, Japan, South Korea, etc. isn't going to buy your stolen semiconductor tech.

If you're going to steal semi tech and use it as your own, at best you can only sell it domestically.

I don’t think the article is saying there is anything magic about culture, just about doing chores around and with your toddlers (I have toddlers). It doesn’t take much money to park your kid in front of a TV or a cheap tablet. If anything, parents with more resources have more options.

Consider this: for 90% of the population, that is also true of any FOSS solution. I'm tired of the "you don't have access to the source code" argument. I don't inspect the microcode that runs on my CPU - why should I trust Intel and not Apple? And for a greater portion of the population, that source code may as well be mud.

Brian, you are reading it wrong.

That was an observation.

And specifically you are reading the term “no x other than y” wrong.

It actually means x is an attribute of y, or a group, and y is of importance. As in “no player other than LeBron”

It was used in this context in a way similar to “We should send humans to Mars for no rational reason other than to prove that it is technically possible”.
