> The worst developer hell I've ever been through was fighting through figuring out poorly documented SOAP APIs.

Except for undocumented "REST" APIs with totally arbitrary encodings of parameters into URL path steps and query parms, and needless excessive network roundtrips. Frameworks such as JAX-RS, Spring, and Swagger/Open API even invite you to use "subresources" as out-of-band agreed URL schemes ("lousy coupling"), totally missing the entire point of REST: that you dynamically learn interactions on "resources" via hyperlink URLs as a means for loose coupling.
Well the problem with revolutionary (take this adjective literally) ideas is that most other won’t understand their essential differences and bend them back into familiar perspectives.

In the case of REST, it has been mistreated as SOA-WS for JSON or an RPC for SPAs... hardly anyone bothers with res links.

I would add that hardly anyone bothers with rdf json, while hurriedly reinventing the XML Schema horror movie ;)
Really? You're betting on the one language out of all the one's mentioned that you can't actually use yet?

I think it's just a misunderstanding. You're talking about a situation where your grandmother owns the place and he/she is talking about a situation where your grandmother rents the place.
Dark-skinned office-working New Yorker here. Neglected blood tests for years. Took a significant other to realise that, every winter, I’d start eating tinned sardines by the caseload. Once I began supplementing, on doctor’s orders after a blood test, the cravings stopped. Guess what’s super-rich in Vitamin D?
Your language is, I think, the least humble I've read on HN. I don't think I've ever heard or read an atheist say they can prove there's no 'creator' (whatever that's supposed to mean exactly). Mainly that there's no reason to believe that there is one. No evidence whatsoever. Would it similarly be 'pure arrogance' to assert that Russell's teapot doesn't exist?

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time." - Bertrand Russell, 1952.[0]

Meanwhile, "Atheists and religious skeptics can be executed in at least fourteen nations: Afghanistan, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen."[1] And in Indonesia, people who discuss atheism publicly are being jailed. "Secular and atheist bloggers have been killed in Bangladesh, atheists have been threatened by government officials in Malaysia and jailed in Egypt."[2]

Isn't that the biggest failure of Apple? I think the original Anker Powerline cable were good, but not great. The Powerline II was perfect. And it was only a small changes in material and design, it doesn't even break. ( The Powerline has slightly longer "tail" at the end of the plug so it doesn't take as much strain )

If Apple Engineers are not using its own Apple products than there is something very wrong.
I joined Meetup.com, and now I have a growing number of friends every week.

It helps to have an interest that other people can join you in. You could start a tech group, a language group, a movie group. Find a place to have a discussion, a small conference, or give a presentation.

The fact is, social media isn't going to satisfy your craving with feeling connected. The digital world isn't a substitute for face-to-face conversation, so it's sad to see people resort to text-messaging the person in front of them. However, you CAN look for events for where to connect to people. That said, Meetup.com is a huge blessing.
Every country in your system would have to use their own currency again because if banknotes are the same and (example) the German Euro is stronger than the French one (that would mean everything on Germany is cheaper than in France), the French would hoard all the Euro banknotes they can get their hands on and buy stuff in Germany. Traveling to Germany is not for everybody but there would be companies doing mass transfers of money and goods for the rest of the population. By the way, this is why the Eurozone authorities try to make every country align on debt, growth, etc, which is pretty hopeless given so many governments with different pools of voters and agendas. Like having the USA with a powerless president (who knows who's the EU president), camera and senate and governors trying to agree on everything with basically no cross country political party.

It also looks a little like those countries with their own national currency but also everyone accepting USD. Tourists can carry dollars, lose a little by unfavorable rates at every payment, maybe end up with change in the local currency to use in the next shop. I remember that on vacation in Uzbekistan.

OTOH, I've worked with EBICS and other ISO 20012 stuff, and while very intense and XML-heavy, it felt like adequate and robust in a way that JSON and schemaless simply doesn't for the task at hand (talking about representing very complex inter-banking businesses on stocks/derivatives with multi-leg deals, foreign exchanges and currencies, IBANs, ISINs, sub-second trading dates, etc.). Even used SOAP/MTOM in 2017, and it worked well enough.
> Many of those are ruled out as modern successors (in my mind, at least), when they continue to make “the billion dollar mistake” (to use its inventor’s own words[1]) of null references.

Well, you're in luck then! You don't even need a 'modern' successor, C++ (even the ancient versions) disallow null references.
The Windows guys are using VS Professional, I'm mostly using VS Community, though I've dabbled with Rider a bit. If I was starting out with zero VS experience I'd probably go for Rider, but I'm so used to VS I use that, even though Community isn't as good as Professional.

> Strictly speaking, the only license that doesn't have the copyright holder retaining any rights is the lack of one (i.e. releasing to public domain).

This is a bit nit-picking, but releasing without a license is pretty much the opposite of releasing to the public domain.

If you release without anything, the raw unmodified copyright laws apply, which are rather strict and give the recipient basically no rights - certainly no right to redistribution.

You have to make some kind of explicit statement if you want to release something into the public domain. That's why things like CC0 exist.

Perhaps not useful, but accurate. There was no way I could afford to stay in London when I lived there. I know several other people who left or are in the process of leaving for exactly that purpose. London is a playground for the rich and a struggle for everyone else.

Away from anecdotes, "social cleansing" is a byword for the fact that people are being priced out of London.

Both are worth every penny.

They showcase delightfully a way of understanding and writing software, a kind of down-to-Earth simplicity aesthetics that is usually ditched in favor of sophistication.

I believe we're mostly past the point of favoring such philosophy (the Go programming language being maybe the most recent attempt, only partially successful at it), as it has fallen short of what the world demands from software, but it remains a very valuable influence.
Well, first, the study looked at cancers and heart disease. The conclusion is:

“The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt.”

TLDR; Overall, they showed that neither fish oil nor vitamin D actually lowered the incidence of heart disease or cancer. However aspect of heard disease that benefits is heart attack. Taking fish oil lowered the risk of heart attack by about 28 percent.

It is important to remember though D3 has other proven benefits.

Most Omega-3 comes from fish already, though there is a point in preferring the fish to the supplements, it's not as if it was something completely synthetic (like other supplements)

Yeah I came here to say this. I'm sure people do take vitamin D to stave off heart disease and cancer but that was never my intention.

I live in scandinavia so every autumn I start taking one vitamin D pill a day to keep my spirits up during the long darkness.

I believe it helps and I have no illusions of preventing any diseases with it, except winter depression.

When you get to big enough scale, you need cross shard transactions. Google reached it with Spanner.

If I look at Dropbox, i am sure features related to sharing folders between people/organizations cross-shards. You can't avoid them if you want to offer a fully featured product.

After a quick skim of 2PC in Edgestore (sorry, no time), it is unclear if there is a single transaction coordinator (TC) or not. I assume it is a single TC - that you can scale it to 10m trans/sec is impressive. The really hard part is have multiple TCs and to design protocols to coordinate their recovery after failure. Here is a good example in the open-source NDB (MySQL Cluster) system - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gAYQPrWCTEhgxP8dQ8XLwMrwZPc...

I disagree that most apps are CRUD. To the contrary, most apps starting out as naive CRUD have complex implicit constraints related to eg. in what state you can modify resources in a particular way.

Even for CRUD apps with simple master/detail data relationships it doesn't make sense to tie your domain design to network requests.

Do they? I inhabit a very different bubble then as I've only heard complaints amongst my friends and workmates lately. Even formerly enthusiastic ones.

It reminds me of the 80s ghetto blasters fad. Size was the thing. As they got ever bigger they got far worse as there was so much resonant empty plastic and they distorted and rattled madly with volume anywhere over 2. Size and LEDs counted above all. Sound? LOL look at these LEDs man.

Most recent changes, from all manufacturers, have been deliberately consumer hostile. There's not much left to actually innovate with. Consumers don't want to keep swapping ecosystems - as that means hassle and re-buying a bunch of apps. Often they'd prefer not to even switch manufacturers if they've ended up using a cloud app for photos or something. So they just buy the next iThing from whoever even if it is too big, or is anti case because of edge to edge screens, or has a fake notch.

Talk about Emperor's new clothes.

So what can I choose that's against this trend? Oh. Nothing. Yet I need a phone, and probably an app or two for work. Best buy something or risk job loss. Even if I detest all the offerings as too big for any pocket I possess.

In your eyes it's a vote for thinner or bigger because a sale was made. No that's not how it works. It's not a simple commodity with only one feature to make, break, and validate the sale. To vote by not purchasing I'd have to cease having a mobile.

Scaling the Monolith
The most famous implementation of the social housing "towers in the park" model - the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago - has been torn down. One of the many problems with the project was (in my opinion) that the tower:park proportions were way off, giving the complex an inhuman scale. I blame the influence of Le Corbusier, who does not seem to have ever met a human aesthetic instinct he did not try to subvert.

The mid-rise courtyard+playground styles I see in central and northern Europe today, on the other hand, are pretty much ideal for family life. Just enough density to support a walkable daily life with lots of serendipitous social encounters, eyes on the street, a view on the kids playing with enough proximity to intervene if something goes wrong, and the opportunity for first-floor private garden space and aesthetic personalization throughout.
Not necessarily. One basis for rates and taxes can be the proportion of an individual's unimproved land value. Typically apartment dwellers end up paying far less rates and taxes under such a scheme. (ignoring any question of economics such as rent-demand elasticity and whether landlords can just pass the full cost of any tax increase onto tennants).

I also know that my comparative insurance is less because I live off the ground floor in an apartment block with restricted/limited access and hard concrete construction.

Any desire to tax non-dense/dense properties at similar or different rates is a particular policy choice, and on a cost ratio basis the denser living choice often ends up being cheaper because resources can be pooled and shared.
Attributing civilian deaths from Afghan and Iraq civil wars to the US War on Terror is very controversial.
I think a big thing but underrated thing is iteration. Giving things time to "simmer", looking at things with fresh eyes often, i.e. having multiple shorter sessions instead of few long ones, and simply playing around with and comparing various ways how things could look, can get you quite a long way.

Otherwise, you end up with "coder colors".

It's likely that they've been using it for a long while - probably explains the first of the Astute navigation accidents. The fact that it happened in the sound of Skye was always odd. I'd imagine that the announcement is because the Russians and Chinese have been messing about with signals round RN assets (for example Lizzy) which have then been serenely and obviously ignoring the fandangling. At some point the we know you know we know thing stops being worth the bother, and I guess that the EU's messing about over Galileo meant that the sovereign deterrent would have looked implausible.

I'm guessing that this was about priority 3 on the nuclear sub quantum tech wish list. Priority 1 must always be stealth and sensing (avoiding merchant vessels could be a good thing), priority 2 must be comms as in how do you distribute orders when you have decommissioned your ultra long wave network?

The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation."

Incidentally, questions like this that ask for opinion are not welcome on SO and the SE sites, although it's hard not to notice that most of the best, most useful questions ask for opinion (e.g. best books on a certain topic) and are rapidly closed for not being appropriate. e.g.

Why? They used to be quite stable. Hadn't US decided to invade them, no civil war would've happened.

Remember when William Ditto actually made wetware computing using live neuron cells (yep living cells), but he saw the potential of such computer and stopped research. Instead he focused in chaos computing, and founded Chaologix, where he made analog circuit that can transform to different logic gates very fast. But recently they are acquired by ARM.
