I remember running Geoworks on my 8086 panasonic desktop (as souped up an 8086 as their can be, vga card, 40MB hard disk (then doublespaced!). I remember it coming with the Pre-AOL AOL client.

With that said, all the apps I had for it were the ones that came with it, so in a sense it was just a glorified version of micrsoft works + some games. It was cute and in a way gave a longer life to the 8086 machine than it deserved having, but, they missed the microsoft concept of "developers, developers, developers"

Totally agreed. That's one of few ways to send them feedback directly. Other ways would include lawsuits or voting for regulation change.

Given that signal here is roughly proportional to amount of lost market share, complaints in this thread are a fully legit, if indirect way, of getting more people to maybe buy less of their products.

Anther solution is to store secrets in the Terraform state and use a secured state backend (eg: S3+KMS) to share them. It makes key sharing and rotation a bit easier while not promoting copy-and-paste.

You can use the "random" provider to generate secrets, the "tls" provider to generate certs and I also wrote a "secret" provider[1] to hold arbitrary secrets.

The best part is that it doesn't require to maintain a long-running process. For small shops it's a good upgrade over storing credentials in code or using git-crypt.

Traveling alone, risk of surgery too great to take on.

The last and largest/most modern hospital in Rishikesh agreed to do the surgery, provided the US Embassy signed off on it, or a family member was present. The latter wasn't possible, and neither was the former ("we don't authorize surgery for our citizens").
It is still infrastructure that you run, this is a real cost for lots of people. If you're running other people's terraform or whatever it's also a black box of software YOU are on the hook for but that you don't know anything about until you have to (3-5 hours after the service has been down).
Another issue is that many companies (and most governements), have policies prohibiting the acceptance of meals or other gifts in excess of certain amounts, that I would guess are routinely exceeded. Having too detailed a records on expense accounts attached to dealing with those types clients could lead to problems for the clients and the company.
Like I said yesterday "The road block for adoption will be Dart. Why they didn't just choose Typescript or go with native javascript is beyond me. No one uses Dart. It was probably the poorest design decision they could make."

The comment from pzo points out an even worst of an adoption showstopper.
Yes, indeed. There appears to be an overlap in general principles (even in use-case example). From what it appears, KEP sig was "published/released" (not sure what is the right term here) on the GitHub 3 days ago, we did not see this. We will definitely reach out for further discussion.
Well, I think there is something to be said there though. The reason why the Julia stack is nice is because Julia's standard logging tools can be used for logging in ML codes. Even other things like Julia's standard progress monitoring toolbars just work on ML codes. That's quite a surprising result. Tools which build a sub-language for graph building like TensorFlow have to build and document such tooling. So for newcomers to Julia, they will search the package documentation and package codes and find nothing. It is a confusing problem because the functionality exists but no one thought to document its usage for this context since it is just the standard Julia usage!
It's not indicting people (except those directly responsible and those officially accountable); it's indicting an organization. It's what you should do; a corporation responds only to things that impacts its profits; complaining, if it leads to less people giving them money, is a correct way of sending a market signal. That's how capitalism is supposed to work.

Yes, you're right. The climate worldwide is not the kindest recently. BTW, with uncomfortable I didn't mean opinions or ideas, but anything which will embrass you or put you in a hard situation if revealed.

As a corollary, this means living an honest life and telling what you think. Generally violence doesn't born from ideas themselves, but the way these ideas are told. So talking politely and without attacking the other side results in a reasonable discourse in most cases. Disagreement is in the nature of communication, and if can be managed well, it's very beneficial to both parties.

Hmmm I wonder if using a second browser, maybe based on a different renderer, in incognito with a different user-agent set up would be enough or if it would still get enough info. At that point it would still have your outgoing ip address at least is there anything else they could still match to a signed in session? I guess you could also route all traffic in the unsigned in session through a VPN too.
> * There's syntax for providing a value in case of null. (x ?: fallback) in Kotlin, (x || fallback) in Typescript.

Well, uh, unless T can be falsy. 0 || fallback === fallback. A proper ?? operator a la C# would be great, but they've pushed back against it because it doesn't entirely mesh well with nulls in the JS world.

JS is still probably my favorite language to work in despite stuff like this. But that's one footgun that everyone should be aware of.
>That's not really NULL's fault that it causes confusion in SQL. That's just ternary logic

The problem is that its not simply ternary logic. It's a ternary logic that gets mapped onto a boolean algebra, which leads to the usual strange repercussions (particularly, the presence of nulls creates both false positives, and false negatives, silently).

The SQL language goes out of its way to pretend its not ternary, though in fact it is. You have to actively keep in mind when writing SQL that the database is trying to trick you. This is not a good thing, and it's hard to blame the programmer when they get tricked.
Oh I'm sure they didn't ignore is, just that you're constrained to platforms that allow a side-channel mechanism to expose a11y and handle focus+navigation.

I haven't looked deeply at the HTML5 APIs but if you wanted to say port Flutter to HTML5 Canvas you may run into problems where you can't expose rich enough a11y primitives on something that was just meant to be a bitmap.
This isn't really a blog post about a specific language feature so your question doesn't make too much sense to me, which may be why it hasn't gotten any answers. In general, being able to map specific primitives to their derivatives is not sufficient for AD, although I'm sure AD is possible in C#, it's just considerably more involved than that.

Ask HN: ISO Women in Tech
Hello fellow women in tech! I've been struggling lately with the lack of representation in our field - are you a woman in tech? Can you share your experiences, wisdom, struggles and solutions to being "rare" in this field? Why do you think there are very few women in tech and what can we do to encourage more young women to enter STEM fields?
I've done a bunch of WPF in my time, but I struggle to see what I'd use it for now. For line-of-business type apps I'd do it on the web, and for anything that had to be desktop I'd need to be really, really sure that it didn't need to be cross platform.

But nobody's talking about "getting rid of nil" wholesale. They're talking about getting rid of null/nil reference exceptions via the mechanisms of non-nullability (having the option to define some variables as non-nullable) and null guards (a compiler which forces a null check before any operation which requires a non-null value). This way you still have null, but with compile-time guarantees that you'll never get null when you didn't expect it.
One of them mentioned their actual IQ. I have more or less used that as a benchmark. Guy was plenty well educated and competent, it was only really when he was trying to learn something that he seemed anyway out of the norm.

Anyway, I think people vastly over estimate IQ’s of people they work with. Look at the number of 17 year olds in the US compare that with the top schools minus smart people not going to top schools. Now consider each school gets a fraction of that and Stanford students really don’t have that high of a median IQ. Extreme outliers pull the average up, but the bottom 50% at standard are just not that impressive.

Cultures can absolutely change and evolve, in response to changes in leadership, new sources of revenue, or growth. Apple 1984 vs 1994 vs 2004 vs 2014 is a good example, particularly in the late 80s and 90s when it changed quite radically. Yet Steve Jobs' design-focused culture and marketing prowess (along with some negative aspects) re-emerged when he came back, and even as the company's growth exploded.

Google's cultural shift is not just a byproduct of growth, it's a byproduct of the founders and early leadership stepping back and professional technology executives and MBAs taking over. Compare that to Apple, which followed a similar journey but boomeranged back under Steve Jobs Act II. Cook, himself an MBA, is more in the Jobs mold when it comes to corporate ethics; I think his stance on privacy and other issues is admirable. And it's one of the largest tech companies in the world.
HTTP is not natively created for decentralized mirroring/replication (e.g. torrents) or third-party annotating.
Same in the desktop world - Qt emulates the widgets, but can theme them, then QML is another story. Also WPF (from what I've heard) uses (skia?) to paint own widgets. IMGUI is another example.

Then using the native wrappers, like wxWidgets is often cumbersome to create customized control, and if you do you end up with some platform specific version (not end of the world, but pretty much why not use the OS toolkit directly). Also any wrapper soon or later suffers from "leaky abstraction" - where you hide things behind interfaces, but can't hide different performance characteristics, and getting the current line in a log dialog might just kill you, because underneath it might be scanning all '\n', '\r' until your cursor position.
Have you looked at Monoprice's stuff? They sell displays using the same panels as some of the nice name brand stuff, and I'd personally be surprised if they packaged the same BS into their house brand displays.
His real persona comes through pretty frequently though, which is why people like him, imo. When he does longer gaming videos, or more serious videos, you can see what he is really like to some degree. Most of his viewers should be very aware that the PewDiePie persona isn't who he actually is in real life, which is a departure from other YouTubers who always have their "TV personality" on while they are recording. Even in his less serious videos, every once in a while he will break from his PewDiePie persona and have a bit of more serious commentary, which makes him seem very genuine, while still being entertaining. The viewers know he is having fun and joking around in his videos, rather than trying to act like he is something he's not.

I'm 100% as interested in Market Access as I am with IP theft.
