Usually this kind of refactor is something done as the very first task following the last release in a minor series and as the first step in a major new release. Going from version 7.4.32 to 8.0.0? Refactor that source tree, reformat all the code, and start over on the build toolchain! Best of all, make sure some junior dev does the actual checkin for the reformat.

In all seriousness, I think this is the only way. Yeah you may have forever to deal with it cross patching but let's face it, for big lumbering code bases, perfect backwards compatibility in the source tree is usually the smallest of issues, and the benefit of using standard tools far outweighs the cost of occasionally reinterpreting back-patches (if they are even possible.)

Wait. You don’t just walk across the border, you have to file an application and have it approved to live in Canada? Is this how a progressive nation should behave?
It's certainly false.
Ask HN: What are some unsolved tooling problems in the cloud space?
I'm a sysadmin and hobby programmer (that used to do it professionally 8 years ago) who wants to reinvent himself and get a job as devops/SRE. I'd like to start something that might be useful for AWS/GCP community and to showcase my dev skills on github but my limited exposure in real life with these platforms makes it hard to think of such cases. For example automatically scaling IOPS for Dynamo was solved by dynamic-dynamodb and it was quite successful before AWS implemented it themselves. Do you have any pain points or "nice to have" things to share? Thank you!

Yeah, that's what bothers me. They get hundreds of millions of dollars a year and they still manage to act like a cash-starved corporation.

1) "Can't afford" the development time to allow me to customize keyboard shortcuts. They deprecated the old functionality and replaced with a limited "oh, extensions can do that, but they only take effect after the page has loaded." Super Metroid had that in 1992 for the SNES.

2) No unsigned extensions because of a phantom "security risk". Not even if you enable it in an obscure part of the config. Geez, if I can't modify my own open-source software, what's the point? You might as well shrink-wrap Firefox and make me get it from Microsoft at Best Buy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taGARf8K5J8

3) Mr. Robot marketing integration, where the marketing was so important that they got to override reasonable concerns about "gee, do you really think we should force an add-on for a security update that has a cryptic message in its description?"
What if those holding the property are among those who move their $1T out of Britain? The London market in particular was always under huge pressure from foreign investors.
Was going to say exactly this. Disapproving massively of the current political climate in the United States and worrying about what it says about our future is not going to make me want to run away. This is my home, I want to make it better. We just took a little misstep, that's all.

If you bought bitcoin in 2015 and hodled you would have 2000% profit now. Don't even go there.If you give dollars IRL to a scammer you don't get it back. There are so many false and useless claims with these narratives. Just make an opinion on your own or if you want to only listen to "important" people listen to the people that invested in Facebook and built all the Silicon Valley (Winklevoss, Draper, Andressen Horowitz, Wozniak, Jack dorsey, YC etc etc etc). Their opinion matters.
% of people who will actually leave the US?

I'd wager near 0.
A truly incredible statistic:

“40% of women younger than 30 would like to leave the U.S.”

That says a lot about the extent to which Trump has alienated young women.
Here I come again to lament the lack of interest in the reactor I've designed. I've become very pessimistic about even trying to work on it.

Think about that for a minute... imagine that my design works, but our society is so jaded by con artists and corrupted by insiders theiving and politics that it never gets a chance.

I feel like I'm starting to identify with bond style supervillains. I could fund the research alone, and keep the fruits of my labor to myself. I'm sure I could also weaponize it.
Your bamboo cutting board is likely made in a manner similar to bamboo flooring as outlined in the article - a lot of treatments to make it stable and usable.

I see that people are assuming that the ones who want to leave do so because they feel the government is insufficiently liberal. The truth is, I have met some people who wish they could leave to go somewhere more conservative. I think that everyone would want to leave the US if somewhere out there was a utopia that exactly implemented their political and social views. The main thing that tamps down that desire is the fact that such places rarely exist.

I am developing an open-source DAW with Qt (https://ossia.io), to solve the problem you mentioned I used AppImage with great success - of course you have to ship all your libs, but that's what you have to do on macOS and Windows too anyways.
With regards to Fuchsia it's not really much new in OS design: a microkernel with the same old issues of each 'component' being a server and the complexity it entails.

If I could work on an operating system it would be something like http://www.barrelfish.org/ but with a few big changes.
One does not just "learn" C++.
They said the problem wasn't fragmentation of distros, but the versions of graphic drivers, and it's not like Windows machines are all on the same version of the same driver.
Ultimately this indicates that people aren’t satisfied with the returns on taxation. I’m all for supporting a government that supports the people. From my perspective we don’t have this and haven’t had it for some time. Other developed nations have better infrastructure, better social support system, near free higher education, free at point of contact healthcare systems. What we get in the U.S. is the most advanced warfare system ever.

EDIT: I’m not complaining about the level of military spending or healthcare spending. I’m pointing out that from my perspective our return on taxation is a great military and a crappy healthcare system. Hence I’m not happy about the returns on taxation.
MAybe, but the vast majority that wishes to stay would be higher on the previous cycles (bush/obama). This is all very naive speculation of course.
There is no way people answer truthfully on these surveys, since the numbers don't come anywhere close to actual emigration; it seems more of a vote of dissent against the government.
That number seems extremely suspect. If that were really true, it would bubble about culturally in all kinds of ways.

There are a lot of variables that go into that kind of decision making. Regardless, in some of these segments, the values double from previous administrations, which is wild.
IIRC it's pretty common to walk across the border and then present yourself to immigration and ask for asylum. Assuming that is your only probable immigration method, since otherwise it's reputedly quite difficult to gain approval.

Also, Canada handles the whole process a bit more humanely than the United States does.
And it will use 1TB of ram to run.
I was reminded of this quote from The Big Short at the weekend:

”I have a feeling, in a few years people are going to be doing what they always do when the economy tanks. They will be blaming immigrants and poor people”. (Mark Baum).

Many people feel that austerity policies post the 2008 crash distilled feelings which led to Brexit.

If Brexit leads to another crunch, one scenario is a lot more right-wing politics, not less.

This is obviously not necessarily true, but the possibility made me very sad - and makes one wonder whether Brexit will trigger a spiraling political and economic crisis in the UK, not resolve one.
I just want to note that if this was in fact a case of a transient tic then "positive discipline" could be counterproductive. Obsessive finger/hand licking is a known example of transient tic disorder.

If we define positive discipline as addressing the behavior and trying to compliment them stopping it, or "encouragingly" and "nicely" enforcing some kind of positive or negative punishment, then it's just kind of making the child more self-conscious and stressing them out for something they can't control. This prolongs the tic.

It's really what it sounds like to me here. It's quite common and nothing to worry about, at least for the first few months. Although in some cases it can lead to more serious long term issues and require intervention, in most cases it's temporary and goes away all on its own. The best thing in most cases is to ignore it. Calling attention to it just stresses out the child and makes it worse.[1]

At the end of a deployment, I had such severe shoulder pain that I could barely carry a weapon. Of course, the corpsman "couldn't find anything wrong". That shoulder pain is still with me. I've been to a number of doctors and therapists, but haven't found anything conclusive.
My opinion of Julian Assange has varied over the years, depending on who the victim of his latest exposure was. I think this means that on balance he's fairly neutral.

However this item is a statement of fact, no?

>> It is false and defamatory to suggest that Julian Assange has ever "breached his bail", "jumped bail", absconded, fled an arrest warrant, or that he has ever been charged with such at any time.

I like America. I find its people, at least offline, to be warm and generous. I love the outdoors and the massive breadth of natural beauty in this country.

However, it is very painful to me that part of my income gets funneled into the pockets of mass murderers. If I were to choose to leave this country it would have to be to some place that at the very least, spends less of my income on endless war. It's a real shame there is basically no peace movement anymore.
IMO bamboo can't be a bigger thing than wood simply because:

- bamboo cultivation came from not-much-developed countries, so not much good for us and not much easy to develop for them;

- bamboo duration, even with not so cheap treatments, is far less than the wood;

- bamboo fire resistance is very low, even with not so cheap treatments;

There is a trend in the western for bamboo simply because we consume more wood than natural regeneration and we need cheaper alternatives but this trend is really limited to consumer stuff, not structural/real architecture one as many do in some Asian and south-American countries...
It started out well but some of the things on there were a little petty. Surprised I didn't see a statement mentioning it was false and defamatory to claim that Assange has a small penis.
I guess that depends if you're a member of a desperate group of poor, or someone browsing Hacker News on a Monday morning.
Unrelated to the reason that was listed in the article, but I've spoken to numerous people over the last couple of years who've expressed they would like to leave due to the US's culture.

Although this is a beautiful, diverse, and free country (compared to the rest of the world), everything in the US revolves around work and money.
> What we get in the U.S. is the most advanced warfare system ever.

You get this in Canada as well, they just don’t pay for it - US taxpayers do.
This argument is not genuine. US has a legal immigration requiring much the same process as Canada. If you end up crossing into Canada outside of a port of entry, you can request asylum from the Canadian border patrol just like you can in the US.
The scammer is able to forge the signaling and routing. It's not that they have numbers for your prefix, they're just able to connect to SS7, know that they're calling 555-111-2222, and forge the signaling information for say 555-111-3333 hoping that you're more likely to pick up the phone, and you have no way to call them back as they'll not be associated with that number once the call is done.

> That doesn't affect 2FA

You can use the same techniques to say "I am 555-111-2222, route all sms for that number to me".

> that won't show up as "me" on my friends' phone screens when they call

They absolutely can do that.

It's not that they bought numbers in each of the prefixes, it's that they're forging the signaling information for another number in your prefix dynamically, based on your number.
Thank you! Let me know if you have eny ideas that I might be missing :)
> would lead to negative equity for a significant number of voters in the south east and especially the south west

This argument requires some hard numbers to make.

A significant number of owners bought their homes a long time ago and won't be affected.

A significant number of owners live in areas where prices were not affected by EU investment.

A significant number of NEW prospective owners will have access to lower prices in currently extremely crowded markets.

So, less alarmism, more facts and numbers please.
This seems like a sensational title. The basic gist of the article is that while the US in inline with the rest of the world, there is a significant uptick in younger women who say they would like to leave since Trump.
I don't seek money, have a job, or got married, or other social markers of success, to be happy.

I did it to thrive in society; it increases my and my family's chances of survival.

I'd be happier by myself, with enough money to live with, and without a job. Happiness is not the most important thing in my life.

It's not about being happy, happy comes and happy goes; it's about doing something meaningful with your life, because it's the only thing that is going to work long term.

That sounds weird. Where are they going to move to? There are only a few select places in the world with freedom of speech, which seems like a very necessary value to be a conservative in the current times.

I haven't worked there so I don't want to go into detail as it would all be hearsay. I based this on some research I had done before considering a role there. I mainly read online, posts by former employees, and glassdoor reviews.
AFAIK you can't call dlopen from a static binary, and if it's a DAW you have to support dlopen in order to open the VST plug-ins
> From the outside, there's no way to know if you're going to end up in the "good" part of the company or not.

I think this is a serious problem in all sorts of fields, and I've never heard of a good answer. Sometimes Glassdoor is enough to get impressions like "healthy devops team, unhealthy frontend and sales teams", but with companies where the same job title appears on many teams it's even harder to sort out. I suspect you're right that it's a significant reason for word-of-mouth job searches; they're a candidate's best form of diligence.

It definitely cuts both ways, too - no matter what the prevailing culture a large company is likely to have teams out of sync with it. Places like Uber and Riot Games that make the news for bad culture have teams who aren't exposed to that stuff, and on the other side we've all heard stories of localized tyranny and incompetence within otherwise-great companies.
Yeah but the reasons for being the case haven't really changed. English speaking country, stable and predictable legal framework, cosmopolitan city. Nothing to do with GDP. All the noise I hear (or read in newspapers) tend to go along banks moving as little staff and activity as they can get away with and staff being reluctant to move. And Paris being mentioned as a prefered location because of its proximity to London (eurostar).

I could rephrase that sentence to answer your first question:

> It's not logically consistent to remain stagnant while self-satisfied if you have goals beyond that.

I used "should" not to express an obligation to someone else, but to yourself.

As to what's wrong with people who don't find any reason to improve: In their frame of reference, there's nothing wrong with them. That's why I said:

> improve ourselves to become closer to the ideals we want to represent.

If someone has no ideal they want to represent, then nothing I said applies to them.

I personally disagree with what you said here though:

> A person isn't inferior if they aren't trying to make more money, run faster, play the piano better or whatever, and they are just happy the way they are.

People live in the context of society, and the world they are creating. There's no unbinding oneself from the consequences of one's actions, the same way every act of consumption creates a footprint and cost to the world that we share with others. I think settling on one's own happiness is a low bar to clear, and failing to strive to leave our legacy better for others is a short-sightedness that leads to crises, best represented by the global warming.

Of course, people are being left to decide what they think they should be doing for their lives, but I hope we can agree that there exists a view in which they would be reasonably condemned.
Why do they have to do the work?

If someone releases a game and I play it, maybe I get a Linux-only bug where the audio sometimes becomes static-y until I reset (real world example). If I file a bug for that, they probably won't fix it and I probably will (and did) continue playing. I lose nothing, they lose the time to triage a bug.

If I can't launch the game and I file a ticket, it's probably because I either want to exchange my money for a working game - which on my own might not be enough incentive for them, and that's OK - or because I have to do it because of asinine refunds policies.

The developer is framing bug reports as a burden, when really they're neutral or a benefit - the bug that exists because of the lack of platform-specific work is the burden. That's understandable, there are a lot of platforms and not a lot of paying players.

If bug reports are not a benefit, perhaps software will stop trying to send usage data back home? I doubt it.
It is a meaningful coda to the history of the British empire that they now choose willingly to descend into underdevelopment and poverty.
>These results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,000 adults per year, aged 15 and older, conducted in the U.S.

They only asked 1,000 adults via phone calls? Pretty small survey but I’m not a statistician.

Edit: Downvoters. Please comment. Was the survey larger? Is 1,000 a large enough sample size to make conclusions about the whole US? This is HN please engage.
Of course you can apply but does a random person living in the US has enough grounds to receive an asylum in Canada?
I would say it is dissatisfaction with the government's contract with the citizenry, combined with recent evidence suggesting that a good chunk, say half, of the population has no interest in progressing. So people who can leave for somewhere that more closely aligns with their values are doing just that.

I have family here and I love the United States, I'm staying, and I hope we can make some more progress, but I totally understand why some people don't want to wait that long.
> I started working at 15, when I took a job as a pizza cook. Over the next seven years, I moved up the ranks, to a driver, shift manager, and then as part of the “new store opening team.”

Driver is up the ranks from cook? I don't know why, but I always assumed that it was the other way around.
I agree it's quite high, but knowing the "baseline", whatever that is would help give some context. They give the Bush & Obama numbers for other categories, but I didn't see it for this one. But based on what's there, I don't think it'd be far off to say that, at any given time, about 1 in 4 women under 30 wants to leave the US. Some of those reasons may have nothing to do with politics. Still, the sharp increase for the current president is notable.
Oh, someone start to understand that... Many in the industrial sectors have understood it well only in the sixties...........
For many people it was about regaining control of borders and reducing immigration. Personally I'm willing to trade off being a little poorer in exchange for being a sovereign nation once again, although the current direction of travel makes it look like we will be getting Brino i.e. Brexit in name only, about which by the way I'm staggered at how blithely people are willing to discard democracy when the result doesn't go their way.
The complexity of the world arises from simplicity. All complex things in the universe in the end are just atoms.

Is it better to build a complex programming language that handles real world complexity?

Or is it better to build a simple programming language where complexity is an emergent property than in turn use that to handle real world complexity.

One issue of building a complex programming language is that if you build the language to handle one type of complexity, it becomes hard mutate or shift that programming language to handle a different type of complexity. This is essentially the issue with whats happening with the newer versions of C++.

Content arbitrage has been a thing inside China for a few years, particularly due to the Great Fire Wall blocking a great deal of websites. Quite a few accounts exist on Wechat and Weibo that aggregate memes and viral videos from Youtube and Twitter.

A few prominent Chinese video creators have made their way to launch official Youtube channels. Chinese-language Youtube has been experiencing a boom since 2015 due to increasing numbers of international students living abroad, proliferation of VPNs, and users in HK/TW.
