This is backwards. Rich did not advocate for changes that break promises.

The point in the talk is that "strengthening a promise" should not be a breaking change. Changing return type from "T or NULL" to always returning T. The case where you previously couldn't guarantee a result, but now you can.

The other case "relaxing a requirement" also should not be a problem. The case where you previously had to give me a value, but now I don't need it and can do my calculation without it.
This sounds like Marxism. Every social phenomena can be explained by Marxism (ergo, it is not scientific).

A proper scientific theory is disprovable.
>> [...]told to go back to my home country by kids and adults alike,
> mostly because we don't see similar things pushed on overweight men ('manboobs')

Because moobs are just balls of fat. Actual breasts contain glandular tissue which moves differently and has more heft.

While men with ordinary moobs don't need bras, men with gynecomastia (actual breast tissue growth) really should be wearing them. I'm more interested in destigmatizing the notion of gynecomastic men wearing bras than I am in discouraging women from having support.

Also, here's something I can actually give insight into specifically because I'm transgender. Before I transitioned, I was obese (and I still am), and I had noticeable moobs. I never felt like I needed a bra back then, as there was no pain or discomfort from moving around. After being on HRT for a while, I developed significant breasts, and now it's extremely uncomfortable and a fair amount painful for me to go without support. Moobs are not boobs.
"Only need one" is a slight exaggeration; you might want a full cup for every day wear, but need a demi for certain necklines and a strapless for certain dresses. That's 3 bras already just for styles that don't involve people seeing your bra (at which point a nude-colored bra doesn't cut it anymore).
NULL isn't the uninhabited type, that's the bottom type. NULL is a value that inhabits every type.
This is true. A quick example would ZIP Folders in Windows - it uses third-party code Microsoft licensed (who knows if the company is still around today since it dates back to the early 2000s).

This year does not end surprising me. I have quite positive experience with development in WPF, but I noticed except the SourceTree I can't find any application which looks nice. Do you know any neat-looking application which uses WPF?
Apple too used to place the control key in the correct location. It was quite unfortunate when Sun and Apple gave up the good fight.
Having to manage all those accounts, installing all that launcher software, and running always on "agents" is anti-consumer.

I've found historically with software that the better something works, the more likely it is to get screwed up. Netflix has made browsing a chore, Amazon Video introduced ads, Spotify is getting clunky as they "optimize" the UI, Gmail taking time to load in 2018 when it didn't in 2015, Android requiring root to install an app to prevent album art from replacing your lock-screen background and apps from making obnoxious color choices on notifications.

Ah well, maybe I'm just getting old and people want less robust, clunky software! /rant
> There is a mass delusion that SF/SV and NYC residents seem to have that it is impossible to match their lifestyles without paying astronomical numbers for housing and its just absurd.

It's not a delusion. Sure, if you find the culture, entertainment, and other lifestyle features of Denver, Austin, San Diego, or Atlanta an acceptable substitute for NYC or SF Bay Area lifestyle, you can get that substitute a bit cheaper. Not everyone does (if they did, Bay Area and NYC prices would drop and those other places would climb.)
Their refund policy is good but it's worth nothing they only give those refunds because they were taken to court in Australia, where a judge said their previous refund policy was designed to give no refunds and used to deny an estimated 21,000 refunds just within Australia. They changed their policy and escaped punishment everywhere else.

Consider a thing: commercial always say "start with us is quick", and they do their best for that. Unfortunately they omit an important fact: start it's quick, if you already came from commercial environment witch is the most common case right now, but all the rest is a pain.

Because it's a bullshit equivalence. Whatever the issues are with the U.S., you have to be a lunatic to somehow see those issues as making the U.S. somehow morally equivalent to a country like the UAE.

And I'm sure somebody will jump in here about how the U.S. has started all these wars and the UAE has not, but that's also a bullshit comparison because the UAE is not the world's superpower. The proper comparison, in that regard, is between the U.S. and previous world super powers, a comparison that comes out heavily in favor of the moral standing of the U.S.

At GitLab we're really excited about the vision of Crossplane. Multi-cloud seems to be the future [0]. This is the missing technology to make that convenient. Our first step is to work with Bassam to become the first complex application deployed in this way. We already have a popular helm chart. But that doesn't set you up with things like object storage and a cloud managed databases (PostgreSQL and Redis).

After we make that work we will integrate Crossplane in Auto DevOps [1] so you achieve application portability for the apps you make in GitLab.

The most interesting thing to me is that Crossplane works outside Kubernetes since k8s is another service it will provision. Bassam his plan is to make crossplane + Kube-api more tightly integrated, maybe even a crossplaned at somepoint.

From the viewpoint of the endocrine system and how the body reacts the different type of stresses you put on it, this makes perfect sense. A stressor in the form of a heavy weight is going to induce a different hormonal response than a stressor in the form of a long run. A hormonal response won't localize to just the muscle groups involved, but affect everything, so even your tongue gets some degree of adaptation to the stressor. Bodies are awesome.

I have the same outlook. There are bad points in every generation, but groups of people don't get arbitrarily worse because they were born together at a certain point in time. Every generation faces a new challenge, and every generation attempts to overcome it, usually with unique results. Previous generations have no concept of the challenges their kids and grandkids face.

I'm a millenial, and my partner's parents, stereotypically, are always going off about how lazy, whiny, and unmotivated my generation is. From where I stand it's the complete opposite. I could explain why but, at the risk of starting a debate about millenials, I'll just say that my generation has been working on solutions to problems our parents either didn't have to deal with, or weren't aware of. And that's just the way "generations" work.

This is where .NET Core gets confusing. They're just able to run on the .NET Core runtime (versus the "full" .NET Framework). WPF uses DirectX heavily, so it's not like Microsoft just ported DirectX to non-Windows platforms.
"The highlight of .NET Core 3 is support for Windows desktop applications, specifically Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Framework (WPF), and UWP XAML. You will be able to run new and existing Windows desktop applications on .NET Core and enjoy all the benefits that .NET Core has to offer."

WPF, Windows Forms, and UWP are listed under the Windows-Only Desktop Packs section in the diagram.

Don't get me wrong, Go does nil a lot better than some other languages (being able to call methods on a nil is sometimes a good thing depending on how your methods handle it -- most methods don't handle it well at all). The fact that even most map operations (access and deletion) also "just work" is really useful.

But I think you're over-selling the zero values feature of Go. It is very rare to see third-party libraries that have zero values which do anything but cause a NPE when you try to use them -- mainly because they embed pointers and then you have the same implicit NULL-ness that causes NPEs everywhere. It is great that the core language managed to get zero values right in most cases, but it's far from being as wide-spread as you might hope.

Also (nil interface != nil pointer that fulfills interface) is a very common mistake I see in Go code, and while it's not necessarily related to the existence of a nil value it is still related to the general concept of nil in Go.

[And on the TypeScript comment -- you don't really need monads for Option<> or Maybe types. You just need algebraic types -- and TypeScript has those. Haskell does use Monads for Maybe, but that's because Haskell has many other type-theory things that make it necessary to support using Maybe as a monad.]

$350 is a super niche price for a bra.
You can still purchase a standalone license, even for v7. Sure they want you to rent access to your data, but that's not the only path. I also recently taught KeePassXC to read the 1P on-disk vault format, so you can continue to use 1P even in Linux, and even if AgileBits goes under.

I grew up in a statistically diverse school district, but in practice, it was socially segregated, in that most kids hung out with their own demographic almost exclusively. People can be just as racist or bigoted in a diverse environment, the only requirement for developing these prejudices is people seeing themselves as exclusive members of a demographic clique which can happen in Tennessee or New York City just as easily.

Prices also spike like crazy if you have a non-traditional cup size.

I'm a 44C. Most stores don't carry that. On extremely rare occasion, if I check every single bra that's at my local Walmart, I might find one, and that's only after checking every week for a month.

The last time a bra broke, I decided enough was enough, ditched mainstream stores, and went to Torrid. I was able to buy a few bras in my size, and they've lasted longer than the crap I used to buy from Walmart, but they weren't cheap. I don't remember exactly how much they cost, but it was painful. You pay for rarity.

Things are a bit more complicated than that, I guess that's specifically why Microsoft is open sourcing "the desktop pack", because it is not multi-platform.
Right, but words have accepted definitions. And she fits the definition of a princess.
Yes - and if Microsoft announces they're open sourcing, or that information leaks, the owners of the IP will be able to name their price. Each will be trying to hold out to be that last essential component to get the highest price for the new rights.
I think that ignores how much worse heroin is than alcohol on every metric under typical usage and in the aggregate. We have prohibition all over the place. We prohit murder. We prohibit drunk driving even though we allow drinking. There is no obvious dividing line between what drugs should be illegal, regulated, or how much regulation (of which prohibition the maximal subset). Unless you don't think it should be illegal to give heroin to a baby, for example, then we are already talking about degrees of regulation. Talk of prohibition is useless. Do you want a Nordic model of highly regulated, decriminalized? Because that is a whole different ballgame.

I really don't care about the policy that much, either, I just wanted to strongly push back on people minimizing the dangers of heroin. It is a lethal, life destroying drug and it's one of only a few I would strongly advice people to never even try once, regardless of legality. If I can convince a single HN commenter to avoid it, then I'm happy.
Sure - but most computers are used by people who are the sole user, so local user to user security as a concept isn't useful.

Most code isn't part of the remote attack surface.

Also there would be no software bugs if bugs only existed in the past... ie bugs come with updates, not just fixed by updates.

There are trade offs, and Linux developers decided to make it what was easiest for them and remove the ability for the user to choose.

Before my household had internet I was nose deep in a book 24/7, never leaving my room, and I had no friends at all.

Post-internet I at least had friends, sure some were in the Netherlands, or Germany, or Australia, or Brazil, or Japan but they were people. Actual people that existed outside of the fantasy novels I would read. People that as an adult, I was able to travel to and visit. I have a job in web development, something that wouldn't even exist without the internet.

I owe essentially 100% of my "successful adult life" to the internet existing. Without it I'd likely be working a minimum wage job at a local fast food chain without a single friend to speak of. Merely existing and reading books.

I blame helicopter parents like my mother far more than I blame access to the internet.

What about the giant scare of strangers that flared up in the 90s? Every stranger is a potential murderer/rapist and you shouldn't speak to them. Children not being allowed to travel outside alone, the rise of "helicopter parenting". Even if you allow your child to go outside it's increasingly unlikely they'll meet another child because other parents don't let their children go outside. When I was younger I remember always seeing parks full of unsupervised kids playing. Most parks I see now are empty. Or maybe a parent watching their kid(s) play on the equipment.
I downvoted it because it was off-topic. When we're talking about the US justice system - which we do fairly regularly - then it's a useful comment. Here it's just a red herring.

And I downvoted you for not understanding that distractions hijack the conversation. A conversation about everything is too unfocused to be a useful conversation about anything. The topic here is Dubai; you're fine with it being hijacked into a conversation about the US justice system. I'm not OK with that. Let us talk about Dubai here; we'll talk about the US justice system plenty of other places.
Visual Studio is written in WPF.
One point any beginner's guide should mention is that the basic Emacs navigation and kill-ring keys are also used in common utilities. The info command is derived from emacs, but they're also used in Bash and less, and support is fairly common in text editors and IDEs. As a beginner, you'll get used to them much faster if you use them in more places than just your editor.

And Mac users should know that Mac OS X has had basic support for Emacs style editing in native controls, inheriting it from NextStep.
Even Rust doesn't have the strictness in your comment. It's perfectly fine by the compiler to make use of `x.unwrap()`: if x is None (or Err, in the case of Result), you'll just get a panic at runtime. The features you note are superior to C's offering, but purely optional.
Ah, I can see you weren't around during the days of IE6, when the web stagnated and suffered under Microsoft's stranglehold and ineptitude.

Keep in mind that, for quite a few years, developers welcomed the oncoming Microsoft browser monopoly; IE3/IE4/IE5 were generally better and faster than their Netscape counterparts and Opera was so niche as to be irrelevant. Then Netscape (the for-profit enterprise) folded and there was no viable competition to IE for a while, and the broken mess known as IE6 became a serious problem for years since it had something like 98% market share.

Trusting any company, even Google, to be the de facto sole steward of the web is insane. They are a for-profit company. That may not make them intrinsically evil, but they sure as hell aren't intrinsically good.
Oops. Thanks for pointing it out!
I'm also much closer in age to high school students than I am to senior citizens. I wouldn't say I fit in particularly well with either group, though.
To me, constantly complaining about sites/companies doing this stuff or wanting laws to make them stop... It just feels silly and pointless.

In the long term, companies will gather and use what data they have access to. Companies will tailor their UI, product, etc. in order to keep that data flowing. A ruleset based on permission and consent is not practical, unless the goal is "better paperwork."

The solution (imho) has to come from browser software or w3c. The browser should control permissions, in broadly the same way mobile OSs/appstore control permissions and login state.

ATM Google de-anonymizes you. This should just be impossible, unless the browser tells it who you are.

Thanks for the reply; the problem I've had is mostly with things on your GitHub and images you maintain. For example, I asked about the Postgres image and whether it was maintained ages ago and was told that you're not sure if you'll maintain it or not. This is fair, and I don't expect updates the next day, but it's still on Postgres 9.6 and doesn't mention if you plan on ever updating it again. If not, that's fine, but please mark it as such so we know if we should rely on that image or not (we're building our own right now, which is fine, but we'd rather know).

Also, lots of little things on GitHub like the examples of using Prometheus and others have PRs (some of them by me) which have never had any comments, no acknowledgement that they've been seen, but also no indication that the project isn't maintained or is just an example and that we shouldn't submit PRs.

All that being said, in general thanks for a great product.
Yes. The intention has always been to put CNAB and related tooling into a foundation that offers vendor-neutral IP ownership. That could be CNCF, OCI, or something else.
There is, of course, always the Java approach: open source everything you can, on the assumption that that is 99% of what's needed, and allow others to fill in the gaps.
