I worked on real program developed this way. It was Android/iOS tablet application with large part done in C++. C++ part was somehow generated from Java prototype and development was than outsourced to India. Those guys probably never seen C++ before, so they assumed program is correct and they used same style to extend the application. US managers were just filling reports with green/yellow/red markers preparing for release and having no clue about real state of the app. I worked for another contractor which was also working on this project (there were about 50 people working on small tablet app). I tried to fix those issues but it was really too much work and some guys just continued to broke the program as they really believed they are doing good job. So I decided to find another job and never work for huge US corporation again.

I don't think your cellular provider would stop you from accessing ipv4 addresses, it just starts the first hop on ipv6, then tunnels it for you to wherever you're trying to reach.

The ultimate goal being decommissioning the tunnel once the rest of the world is ready (few decades obviously)

I do. I expect the Mellanox ConnectX 3s in the Azure machines I develop on will be obsolete by the time my software is deployed. I don't even know what they will be replaced with, let alone have access to such exotica.

I think my choices today are POSIX sockets or DPDK. I hope for a day when I can try out this new fangled RDMA thing :-)

I do accept your point that these things were possible a long time ago but I think it takes time for them to mature enough for mainstream adoption (ie for use in software you might expect to keep working for decades on a variety of hardware). I think Lemire's question of, "Building software on top of that requires some tooling and it is not clear to me how good it is right now", remains open.

I agree with you on the absolute paucity of leadership - but I'd extend that to Labour also.

It sounds like you treated yourself with something like exposure therapy.[1]

But we want the cucumber, and any leftover cucumber will decompose to nothing - it doesn't require any specialised waste processing. The 1kg of CO2 to grow and transport the cucumber is a spent cost, but half a teaspoon of gasoline for every single cucumber is an obscene environmental cost.

The same argument applies to your steak - the environmental cost of the steak is irrelevant, because the steak is the product we want, and again, leftover steak disappears without trace in very short order. The issue is the packaging, which we don't want but hangs around for half a millenia if disposed of irresponsibly.

The goal of this part of the initiative is to deal with that "last mile" problem of irresponsible waste processing, because we can't trust people to dispose of plastics properly. That will inevitably have a knock on effect on the rest of the supply chain, because now companies can't sell products which use single use plastics in that area, so they'll look at alternative ways of packaging their product.

That might result in some products having shorter shelf lives, but those products don't require complex waste management practices - they just move to different levels of the food chain.

The other environmental issues such as the transport cost are an entirely separate concern which aren't impacted by this move at all.

I don't want to spend too much time on this, but your position is itself informed by ideology.

I don't believe you fully grasp what went on in WW2 and are happy to promulgate a hurdurr bad guys narrative, which is fine to be honest but is antithetical to the tradition of "unconditional positive regard" upon which modern psychology is built, and so I believe any "good faith" analysis of this study is impossible for you.

Good summary of dark patterns and consent, on page 7:

> In digital services, design of user interfaces is in many ways even more important than the words used ... Dark patterns are considered ethically problematic, because they mislead users into making choices that are not in their interest, and deprive them of their agency.

> This is particularly problematic given the power imbalances and information asymmetries that already exist between many service providers and their users ... a suspicion that tampering with default settings might remove important functionality, may affect the tendency to leave default settings alone.

> ... information asymmetry in many digital services becomes particularly large because most users cannot accurately ascertain the risks of exposing their privacy. If a user is asked to trade their personal data for a short-term financial benefit, such as a discount, the actual cost of the trade-off is difficult to grasp. In this case, the short-term gain (discount) is tangible and immediate, while the potential loss (privacy) long term.

You're right actually. I recall the textbooks did present the study in a different light to what we were taught in class. Interestingly the discussion in these textbooks never went into much detail, usually just providing a brief overview of it and noting that it was "important".

As a more mature reader I might read between the lines there and wonder.
Well, that's the problem with browsers though: they need to support a slightly broader range of sites than just the currently popular ones; long tail and whatnot.

Now, I am all for actually secure auth, and support in browsers is the necessary first step; for "fixing auth", someone then needs to implement the other side of the equation, too (I do remember when OpenId+HW 2FA was supposed to have fixed this, a few years back).

As for "nothing new" - for the people of HN, perhaps. For the casual user, this is something radically new.
People adapted to GUIs because they were simpler to grok. Text commands are useful and more powerful if you already know them, in a GUI you can actually see all of the buttons you can press.

You talk about establishing a new _online_ identity, but also about changing your legal name. For an online identity, do you intend for it to be easily connected to your (new) legal name?

If you were using a pseudonym not clearly tied to any legal name you have or have had, I am not sure why people would think it odd that the pseudonym arrived all of a sudden.

I have been fairly sloppy in keeping my different pseudonyms separate, (though I personally don't have much reason to work particularly hard to keep them separate) so this might be less informative, but I've never really had an issue with people thinking it odd that a pseudonym of mine appeared suddenly. On the other hand, I haven't published much of note, so that might be part of why.

If you intend to use a pseudonym, but one which is clearly connected to your new legal name, perhaps you could introduce the pseudonym without connecting it to your new legal name, and then after a bit, once the amount of recognition and/or time that you think is appropriate has been obtained/has passed, start connecting the pseudonym to your new legal name?
I am not too sure about this. Every "dreamtime" story I have investigated has turned out to be so vague it could be anything or was "discovered" in very recent times.

The way humanity keeps its DNA clear of cancer over the long term is because people with cancer die and healthy people don't. A slow evolutionary dynamic keeping a fast evolutionary dynamic in check. This shouldn't be controversial.

The mechanics of it, is like I said, the population bottleneck. Cancer cells are parasites and the bottleneck leaves them without a host.

A fascinating cancer is "Devil facial tumour disease". It has learned to spread from animal to animal, thus bypassing this purifying mechanism. But as it no longer consists of the animals' own cells it may be argued that it has become its own species and should no longer be considered a cancer. Supporting the speciation argument is the fact that the cancer cells even have a different amount of chromosomes from the animals.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I've never understood why so many people recommend contributing to open-source projects if you are a CS student or beginner. It's a fantastic way to feel inadequate in your ability to write code. If you pick a large open-source project your skills may not be up to scratch to help out in any meaningful way. Even with smaller tasks, a lot of larger projects have enough structure in place to ensure that trusted developers are working on key parts of the project, so it's likely that getting involved will take a lot of effort.

There's definitely an argument for contributing to open source projects, but I'd recommend finding small utilities over big-name projects. These have their own dangers with contributors often abandoning projects, or ignoring issues/pr's, but it's a much easier way to get involved and get some open-source contribution cred on your CV/resume.

As others have said, the best approach would be to create your own project, and should things go well there maybe look into seeing if there are any now-defunct projects you like the look of that would consider handing the reins over to you to maintain.

One last option would be Google's Summer of Code. It's too late to join in for this year, but it may be worth it next year if you're serious about contributing to a big-name project. The acceptance rate isn't great (I applied three times and didn't get in once, but this was years ago), but given your niche interests you might be a perfect candidate for a handful of projects.

I'm going to university next year and I'll have to choose between a Java class, .NET (so C#?) class and C++ class. Background: It's a bioinformatics major (CS minor), but I'm interested in programming in general, data science, etc. (and Python rules there, anyway). I think they'll going to teach us Python anyway + on of those three languages.

Which one of those three would you choose? Also, a bonus question, if you didn't have to choose one from those three, which language would you choose to study?

They can still check the SNI string, since initial encryption is negotiated with the proxy.

They can't subsequently masquerade as the actual SNI host since they don't have a valid cert for it, but by that point they've probably learned enough to terminate the connection and log the attempt. Well unless they have their root cert in your browser...

SNI encryption is useful against ISPs and casual snooping, not state actors.

The problem with "better waste management" is it requires involvement on an individual level, and individuals can't be trusted to do it. Elimination at source removes the responsibility for the consumer and reduces the requirement for complex waste processing. That's a win for everybody.

While I tend to agree (My experience has been that the desire to make money is stronger than the desire to be ageist)...it's still an area that is highly subjective.

I would think bias is more likely to get eliminated the further up the funding ladder you go (i.e. sure this person might not look like me, but the numbers prove he knows what he/she knows what their doing).

However at the angel stage, there's so much room for subjectivity that I can't believe bias doesn't play a role.
I agree that it might have been possible to get this done much earlier, but I don't agree with your premise that "done is better than perfect". Lots of people complain that while C++ packs a lot of features, it's ugly and everything is mismatched, as it seems. I don't necessarily agree completely, but a number of things are just annoying (e.g. how do you overload pre- and postfix ++? operator++() and operator++(int), where the dummy int doesn't do anything. Beautiful.)

I believe that even at the cost of speed of progress, getting this kind of impactful feature right is worth the trouble, especially since therr are already other possibilities for using coroutines in C right now, although they're not nicely fitted into the language.

[EDIT] Will leave the questions up have delved deeper into this myself and the above questions I have are basically answered but I am surprised at the route taken. Seems like everyone should be including the major version in their import path from the very beginning and every subsequence version which seems... ehhhhh.

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

Not a Go dev:

Is the mantra of "the new package must be backwards compatible with the old package.", which is an underlying requirement for vgo to work, actually followed in the Go ecosystem? It seems crazy to me that a package would have to change its name if it wants to introduce a backwards incompatible change.

Has this happened in practice? How does it work? Are people going to suffix packages with "Really major major" version numbers separately from the actual version number?

The criticisms of bundler in the proposal seem to be be a bit wierd when the solution is to force a new paradigm on developers to make vgo's job easier.

Why even use Semantic versioning at that point since a major version can never be incremented.
