At my day job, I mainly build web apps for enterprise customers, and for maybe 90% of them we use ASP. NET MVC or ASP.NET Core MVC, with a smattering of jQuery and vanilla JavaScript on the client side. This is a tried and tested stack that works well, has a huge ecosystem, and has great development and debugging stories.

There seems to be an awful lot of devs now that only know and use JavaScript, consider server-side technologies to be 'old skool', and prefer to use whichever SPA library is the new hotness - but IMO, most web apps just don't have UIs that are complex enough to warrant using a SPA.

Ok, I am not saying people are applying 200 lb of force for long distances. Rather, if doing so for ~6 inches makes the rest of the process simplified it is a viable option. Especially if you are selecting the strongest groups from ~40,000+ workers.

For a direct comparison you can look at how many people moved litters over long distances. There are a few natural poisons to carry a litter especially if you can group people by height. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litter_(vehicle) People would get swapped in an out for long trips allowing for faster speeds, but up to ~100lb per person via logs was not uncommon.

Exactly! He's absolutely spot on that habits are better than motivation for getting things done, but it's bizarre to have a title claiming there's no such thing as motivation, and then have several sections in the article talking about and defining what motivation is.
Fuck employers. I don't want to be "hungry" for work. I want to think about your problems for a few hours per day, in exchange for some money. I don't want to think about your problems during dinner, during board games with kids, during sex, during my dreams, or during my weekends.

Edit: I used to be hungry for work before I burnt out and lost almost all of my social circle. Never again.
I've watched Indian movies that were controversial in India or some Indian states, and I can see how the western audience or curator could totally not understand what an Indian audience would agree with.

There was one Indian movie from 2004 that was controversial because it featured a lesbian couple. The movie had the typical bollywood love triangle, except the guy was ANGRY that the beautiful woman wanted to see another beautiful woman, along with seeing him. He expressed his anger and was trying to break up this "unholy arrangement" and correct the one woman into loving a man, and exclusively.

I'm more used to men expending all of their energy trying to get into situations with two beautiful women, and then accepting the improbability of two equally attractive and bi-sexual women existing.

So this movie was pure comedy to me, as well as the Indian state's extreme response. Just india things.

It is hard to understand the ideological assumptions of that pervasively conservative but kinda-wannabe-westernized society.
That's relatively recent then, but annoying.

In that case, shouldn't the trick via a UG (Haftungsbeschränkt) still work?
> My software engineering career started after git got popular, but I had to work with ClearCase

Me too

I agree with you, the code I had inherited was built with clearmake and no one had any idea how to move it to a newer build system. It was multi-platform code and you had to compile all the C++ code on an HP-UX machine first. The build would fail the first time and then succeed the second time. Once it was built on HP-UX, it could be built on any other platform

There was a dedicated "build engineer" who was the only one who knew how to fix build issues. Thankfully the project was finished by the time he had left the company :)
I don't think it is about the $8.

Previously, China outsourced social and ecological cost of producing iPhones and other technology. That outsourcing is not covered in the price.

Recent political changes in China such as environmental requirements cut the key profit: the outsourcing.

If the US has the choice to either have a factory in China, or have a factory with roughly the same standards at home, the trade-offs are different: you might want the jobs at home then (given that the wages are competitive, which they currently are not).
Ask yourself the reverse question - if they already have a working, useful service that's human-powered, why are they lying by saying it's done by AI? Answer: because they're trying to get things they're not entitled to - like better funding, better sales, more attention. In other words, they're trying to cheat other people out of their money or time.
Try writing C meant to compile in different compilers, on different processor architectures. Or ANSI SQL meant to run in a variety of RDBMSes. Web GUI is not the only bastion of arbitrary behavior.

I would wager, if your goal is to make as wide-spread, cross-platform GUI as possible, a Web GUI is the easiest way to do that, for both the developer and the users.
In the area I'm most family with, (business applications), many, many systems/applications are basically relatively simple CRUD apps with reporting and dashboard features, and maybe a bit of work flow management.

With the rise of low-code tools/platforms, building such apps is almost trivial. So, the make versus buy decision is not as straightforward as it once might have been, especially for companies who already might have developers on staff.

My wife has an as yet undiagnosed neurological condition with symptoms that include severe nerve pain, “electric shocks” in her head, and skin pain. She’s seen one of the best neurologist in the state, regularly sees another neurologist, and has bi-monthly appointments with a rheumatologist.

For six years the best thing they could come up with was pumping her with 16 high dose caplets of Gabapentin, 8 doses of Tramadol, and a dose of Symbalta at night. I’ve watched her struggle with that for six years, helpless. And on top of that, none of the symptoms really went away. And if for some reason she ever had to go without Tramadol, you’d think she was detoxing from heroin.

A few months ago she decided to stop taking all of it. She cold turkeyed the Gabapentin and stepped down off the Tramadol. Then she cold turkeyed the Symbalta. It was utter and complete hell.

Now she occasionally takes a Tramadol on her worst nights. But she’s free of the overall effects. Except who knows what the long term effects of that many chemicals did to her.

These were all “approved” treatments. Prescribed by some of the most highly educated and accomplished physicicians in the country. And they very nearly killed her, at best, and at worst made her want to kill herself.

The American pharmaceutical industry and the American “health care” industry are the same industry. They own the medical schools. Which at this point are just cheap sales colleges. Doctors in the United States are licensed drug dealers with absolutely no motivation in treating causes, only in receiving kick backs from their PharmaCo handlers.

And the fight against Kratom may be justified. But from my perspective whenever the FDA or any other government org in the US says something is inherently dangerous I can’t help but feel high levels of distrust.

These are the same organizations that let Monsanto take over the food supply and make decisions based not on science, not even on what they think or can prove is good for the people, but on what increases their boss’s bottom line a fraction of a point.

Actually, do you know that for certain? These were decades long efforts, at least, so some specialized harnesses and paraphernalia probably were invented along the way.
Well...yes and no. For example, page scraping is something I have been pricing recently. The companies I have spoken to cost WAY more than it would cost me to build...because I need one simple solution with limited accuracy...but their company is built around an advanced high accuracy solution. The off the shelf thing is rarely the simplest thing possible, because once they built that they had to keep adding features and engineers and costs :)

I tried that when I got raided and had all my stuff taken. The only thing that happened was the officer that suggested the warrant as his first measure got barred from promotions for a year, maybe, they weren't so clear about specifics.

It's not a subset, it's a superset (or built upon Oauth 2.0 if that's the more accurate way to put it) -- I just read through the OpenID Core spec[0] today since I felt like I didn't know enough about it.

[0]: https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html
As a sample size of 1, and a person who has used a lot of different substances (alcohol, cigarettes, amphetamines, psychedelics, marijuana flowers and extracts), been addicted to quite a few of them, and kicked all of them, Kratom has been by far the hardest drug to stop. After reading online about the potential benefits and mildness of Kratom, I started taking it occasionally, and slowly had to ramp up usage frequency because I would start feeling cold and uneasy when not on it, I pretty soon I had to take it consistently to stay at my baseline level.

I managed to taper off down to a manageable level (about half a coffee spoon every 5 hours), but going beyond that was impossible without feeling the withdrawal effect pretty much full force, I decided it was best to bite the bullet and stop cold turkey.

Extremely cold feeling coming from inside on a very hot day, awful restlessness (which made it impossible to sleep more than 2 or 3 hours a night for the first week, before I had to give up and go on sick leave), the most intense feeling of being devoid of energy both physically and psychologically, and pretty much all the symptoms of a strong cold. The extreme sleepiness and impossibility to fall asleep because of the restlessness is one of the most frustrating combos I've ever experienced, but I'm sure that's all too familiar to opioids users.

If you're trying to kick off an existing opioid addiction (or maybe have some sort of pain where the usual pain meds channel are not available?), this might make it more manageable I'm sure, but all the analogies to coffee or tea as "Just a thing you can take if you wanna calm down a bit" can be extremely dangerous to people that have essentially no need for it, and particularly people with an addictive behavior.
Those are some shallow and some honestly awful reasons to pick on one's choice of headphones and the people who buy them considering it's not your money being spent buying a pair of Beats headphones. It's theirs. They worked for it and earned it. I don't feel inclined to explain my financial decisions to random joes on the internet either.

And maybe they do sound great to that wearer. You don't know. What sounds good enough for them might not be great sound to you. That's perfectly fine. Maybe they did buy them for how they look. Why make that your business? Why do you even care that that's why someone bought the headphones? I go back to my earlier position: it's not your money being spent. It's theirs. Taking people to task for subjective things like this seems like a very strange thing to lord over people for IMO.
Pretty. I could see various renders used as a logo for each respective browser.
Layman question: what is better in Sonos comparing it to good bluetooth speakers? Are there excellent bluetooth speakers?

I wanted to buy a Sonos but I am very confused if this will seamlessly work with the usual applications. I don't want to start firing a lot of neurons (e.g. reverse engineering) just to play audio an hour before going to bed.

Is DotDot intended to replace the ZigBee application layer? (commands and attributes) If so is it also lightweight? By the way I don't get why they call it "open" when you have to be part of the alliance before you can access the specifications.
I've used the same approach on some web apps, but combining ASP.NET MVC Core with Vue. I think it's quite common for web apps to have only parts that have a complex UI (even if it's the main part), so this pattern makes a lot of sense for some teams.
Instead of embedding code inside org-mode it should be the opposite: embed org-mode inside comment sections. However this is not easily possible because of ‘*’ gobbling up beyond the comment section. (At least for c)

I bike around SF with my kids in a Cargo bike all the time. The bike is freeing in the city, and the kids love it.

As they’ve gotten bigger and older, I had to put a motor on it for the hills. I hate that bikes are controversial in the City, as they are such a great way of increasing mobility around town. eBikes, are also amazing for this aspect of mobility.

With all the new scooters and rental bikes though, it’s stressing our already limited bike lane capacity, pointing toward what’s been set aside as far too shortsighted.

>whatever the German equivalent to FinCEN[1] is could just pull anyone's financial records up anytime.

In Germany it is not so easy. Even though the requirement for the state to get info about somebody's bank account is lowered, they still need some justification.

>I would have thought the reason for the raid was to collect physical evidence

For that reason alone the police wouldn't have to seize this 3d printed model of a nuclear bomb. Police stated, that „they might be planning a bomb attack“. This raid was also a display of power, to intimidate.

>why it's a problem that your account data would be in the hands of the police?

All people who donated are now on a list in some police department, maybe called „Connected to left extremism“. As donating is not a crime (both Zwiebelfreunde and RiseUp are registered organizations in their countries), this will not lead to prosecution alone.

But just because it wasn't illegal does not mean the police won't investigate if they feel like it.

And whenever they want to target you (even if the reason is unrelated), they can look up their lists and tell the judge: „Well, person X donated to this suspicous looking site, makes him suspicious, right?“ This might play a role in court or for new justifications (f.e. the police wants to raid your home, too).

Appreciate the reply.
No need for perfect :^)
On the topic of why the kids are attacking the robot, it seems worth noting that kids feel encouraged to fight robots from the shows and games they watch. Robot looking robots are the preferred punching bags of the times. I bet there would be less violence if they covered it with fur (like the furby which they reference as a robot that garnered empathy).

As always with great (/s) solutions proposed on HN, it's neither simple, nor are there any great incentives for providers or is there consumer demand. The average protonmail user doesn't care and/or know why using a credit card could be a problem.
The writing has been on the wall for at least a decade. I remember hearing about how programmers would be more like plumbers all the way back in 2008. Sure enough, that really has come true for a lot of developers.

But I agree that this is good. The job is just changing. For example, maybe you wrote a custom DAL back in 2010. Now what you likely have is a mess that you have to pay several people a senior salary for because they are the only ones who understand how it works. Meanwhile a general purpose plug and play solution like entity framework is ubiquitously understood among .net developers. So now we don't need those "senior" DAL guys simply because they understand the mess they helped create a decade ago (also, about the last time they read any books).

I see it as more a levels of software development thing. low-level > medium-level > high-level > plumbing.
They obviously wanted data from Riseup, about some email address. Which I gather has no presence in Germany. So they went after Zwiebelfreunde.

That seems ridiculous. I mean, there's no way that Zwiebelfreunde would have any data about Riseup's email accounts. Even Riseup claims to retain nothing.

I suppose that Zwiebelfreunde might have handled contributions to Riseup from someone using the targeted email address. So there might be a money trail. But that's pretty iffy.
There are suppliers that you can give the pcb file and BOM and they will make and assemble small runs (10 or so) for cheap. It's open hardware too, so you can just head over to the hardware repo and do that if you don't want to support them.

Or actual importance.

It's always a combination of what salary you can command (function of your soft skills) and how much money you can make the person paying you (function of market dynamics).
Maybe for that particular problem, it still doesn't do anything for many others. For instance, what if I want to install an application on a different disk? In grand UNIX tradition, the scheme you outlined still spreads an application's files all over the tree.

I suppose you'll call that a packaging problem too, and I agree: you should package applications as relocatable directories that contain all their non-OS-provided dependencies.
"new tangled gadgets"

Is that a typo or is it a new(to me) adjective? Curiously apropos, regardless.
In my experience consulting for basically every kind of company that ever makes software, most front-end development follows the former pattern, not the latter.

I agree preemptively that you aren't going to get a job on the front-end team at Square without an intimate knowledge of how modern HTML layout works. But that's not the problem we're trying to solve with posts like these; rather, it's "where do I start". Here's where to start.
That's true of many addictive things though. Problem is, the stuff is unregulated and coming from all sorts of sources most of which probably have zero quality control and then it's readily avialable to buy for anyone with access to the internet and a credit cad.

Sure, people can also go on a DNM and with bitcoin they bought with a credit card order as much cocaine or heroin to their door as they want but most people see cocaine and heroin as bad and would never do that.

However, when you have people on podcasts and YouTube going on and on about how great kratom is, how kratom makes their anxiety better, how kratom helped their friend's cousin's room mate's girlfriend get off heroin, then people are like "oh shit, I'm gonna order this panacea" and you have people that likely would never have tried some random opioid ordering the substance and consuming it.

People will try something if it becomes part of a (their) culture or when someone they put trust in talks well of it (podcast host, YouTuber they follow). Look at when people discovered hacking productivity with Modafinil, you had domestic and foreign websites popping up like crazy selling real modafinil, fake modafinil, super harsh on the liver pro-drug versions of modafinil, to anyone that had a credit card all because a few tech journalists reported on how some in silicon valley were using it to hack their productivity.

Look at 'k2' and similar synthetic cannabinoids that popped up several years ago. People were all 'hey man, it's legal and like weed!' and within months it was for sale in every headshop and even many independently owned gas stations. And whoops, once you had a bunch of people trying it turns out it wasn't exactly like weed and people were having basically bad trips and even seizures from mild to moderate comsumption and then state after state quickly started making it illegal.

Then 'bath salts'.

Go back 20ish years and kids were fucking around with freon and dying because it quickly entered certain cultures as a free way to get high at home.

We live in a world where ideas are highly contagious. While kratom does seem to have benefit in some cases when used correctly and does have a traditional use, it just shouldn't be something that John Q Public can hop on the clearnet and order for self-medicating.
Some colleagues of mine talk about the prevalence of companies doing this man behind the curtain thing all the time while claiming that there solution is AI/cognitive. When we come across examples of this happening we just refer to that Seinfeld Moviefone episode and say 'Why don't you just tell me [foo]' - or whatever the "AI" is trying to solve.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSQ6q_rGpI8

It never fails to get a good laugh.

Anyway, I think that human interaction for the training aspects of AI to prepare data, label examples, test models, etc. is really hard to automate entirely and should be considered part of the development process. The execution side of an application component that is marketed as AI/cognitive however is not true AI unless it is totally free of human interaction.
I'm using your evidence to prove my point as that is a source you seem to believe.

That's not true, in my experience.

Mercurial has exactly the same features - and maybe something more - than git, with a UX which is at least more consistent.

The main problem I see with mercurial is that its team stays too quiet: everything is so smooth that probably nobody feels the need of doing much fuzz about it.

The HN community has a high technical level, but during my career, out there in the world, I have seen a lot of different folks: people that constitute the bulk of the workforce often do not have a strong mastery of the tools they are required to use. Sometimes they just endure them. For these people, using an easier tool (and mercurial is a good candidate in my experience) could probably help them to really improve their skills and become more productive team members.
