Well, there's demand for McDonald's today as well, and people happy to supply to meet it! The Python community has dragged this circus for way too long it is now finally being put to an end. But there always will be dinosaurs who won't embrace progress and innovation, of course.
Probably why in-app purchases are so popular (from developers).

Isn't that part of it? Smash particles together at increasingly higher energies, see what happens. I don't think we can pretend to predict everything that will happen.
I think what you are ultimately getting at is: How do you ensure they write code the same way?. That isn’t a real problem and so it isn’t something you need to address. This comes up because insecurity is a very real concern.

Instead provide a business (not code) template to define requirements for integration. This should define what is needed in their documentation, what they output/return, their inputs, automation test requirements, and so forth. That list delicately does not include code style or any more of vanity. Most of this can be automated but you need code reviews to hold people to account and to use as a training opportunity. Be honest and critical during the code reviews. If people find respectful honesty offensive talk to them about it outside the group and if they still can’t get with it transfer them out of your team.
Well put. Imagine if every building in a city were built with a foundation capable of supporting a skyscraper, because what if you eventually need a skyscraper?
> The bottom line is that a niche product is always going to be at risk regardless of the structure of the business that produces it.

Isn't venture capital pretty much incompatible with niche product businesses? So, if it turns out to be a truly niche product, avoiding VC funding means the customers at least have a chance that it will be long-lasting.
Take a look at the various block chaining approaches of dynamic binary translators (DynamoRIO, PIN, etc.). There is a lot of work done in this space.
There's a lot of Lebanese immigrants in Venezuela. Do you think they're all members of Hezbollah?
Nobody wanted 1-way trips to Mars? Shocking.
The moderators are really flagging posts. I guess accusing their bosses of misogyny really gets under their skin.
In general, yes. But there are still some things you can do. The Elm package repository, for example, looks at the type signatures of all of the public functions. If there are no changes from the last version, it bumps the patch version. If functions have been added to the public API, it forces a minor version bump. If functions have been removed from the public API, or any type signatures have changed, it forces a major version change. I believe it lets the user force a major or minor bump for changes that don't appear in the type signature. It's been my experience that that is pretty rare though.
At risk of going well off topic here:

The exact situation that you described happens a lot closer to home than you may think.
I’m a 13-year reddit user. The quality of the site going down is simply a symptom of its popularity.

Think how dumb the average joe is, then realize that 50% of the population is dumber than him.

You can still find intelligent discussion on reddit, you just have to do a lot more work filtering.
I'm a US citizen. Where do I find the form for imposing trade sanctions? Can I file it electronically?
> Such an organism (or set of organisms) would be much easier to study as there is less noise. The biochemistry gets much simpler.

An article [1] was posted to HN a while back that gives me pause at that statement. Sometimes, perceived noise is signal and washing it out gets misleading results. Yes I'm sure this will make some experiments easier... but if it's for medical science... I have concerns.

Same here, I didn't realize that Saudi Arabia was a huge investor. That sickens me.
Yes we probably are. I don't usually walk away lightly from a problem that initially gives me difficulty, but the speed with which I can execute just doesn't seem to satisfy the hiring process. It is frustrating.
I hope Rust comes of age in a few years. Java, Go, and C# are above 50% "native" speed in every benchmark I've run across, but the mantra continues to be "why would I pick something slower?".

Rust is the answer everyone wants, even if they don't really need it.

An aside, C# in .NET core is getting very close to native speed. It's passed Java in many benchmarks, mostly due to type reification and lack of boxed primitives.

Java is trying to catch up, with active research projects for copying C#'s native types, a "Java on Java JIT" (Graal). And most interesting to me, fiber based green threads.

If these projects bear fruit, we may be only a few years away from Java exceeding native code speed in most applications
The rising skyline: Western cityscapes are becoming tall and sleek
I couldn't do a side business while working from Amazon. My employment contract prevented it.

But even if I was allowed, I probably still would have left first. It's hard working full-time, raising kids, and doing a side-business. If the circumstances were drastically different I could have done that, but I didn't need to.

About risk to the family: If I don't manage to pull this off for whatever reason (run out of money, get bored, find it too hard, etc), I'll just go back on the job market. I promised my family that our lifestyle won't change, and if our savings drop below a certain threshold I'll get a job and make sure our expenses are covered. For catastrophic stuff I got abundant insurance (life, disability, health) to protect the family. If we end up spending all our savings, we can consider it an advance from retirement and I’ll make up for it later.
Interesting, thanks for the info
If we’re going to continue to allow these companies to enjoy as much power, money, and influence as entire nations, why wouldn’t we expect them to be moral leaders? From my perspective it would seem they are precisely the kind of people we want pushing for basic human rights.
I checked my last years spend and it was $2.
Thanks for the suggestion I will keep it in mind once I find another job.
I'm probably a luddite but the new reddit ui is downright painful to use.
Yes, similar to the gmail + address.

If Kopi became popular enough that people found it worth doing this - I think it would be relatively easy to come up with many different approaches to prevent / mitigate this sort of thing. Different separators, passcode separators/prefixes, machine-learning based on the from / to pairings, ... all the way up to white-listing (blech). As a paid service whose continued existence depends on the customer's satisfaction - it'd be easy to justify doing any or all of those things.
They can't because Saudi Arabia also owns part of Lyft (2.3%):

Apparently a good number did! Which baffles me... why would you want that? Sounds like a very odd death trap with no resources, economy, services, entrertainnent, ability to travel, etc etc.
Pointing out that your use of language is dismissive is pretty much the opposite of jaded.

I guess it's probably moderately condescending, but it's hard to do that sort of thing well.

Do note that I said "act astonished" and didn't really insist that you must be ignorant.
You probably are, but plenty of non-luddites agree with you.
I don’t agree with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s stances, but I also feel like keeping a list of each state that violates human rights is not in Tim Cook’s or Sundar Pichai’s job description. If we are just being honest with ourselves the list of countries in which you can do business approaches 0 if we call out the violators. Secondly, the last time I checked a company’s mandate is to abide by the laws of the country in which it conducts business and to make a profit for shareholders. I’m all for exceeding this goal, but it should not be incumbent upon a company to follow the geopolitical climate and react.
Are you absolutely certain of that conclusion?

I'll agree with the sentiment that memory safe languages are less prone to security holes because by nature they entirely remove a whole class of issues related to managing memory...

but I can't help but think that it still stands to be the case that finding and patching the remaining holes that aren't related to memory management would still break the economics.

Perhaps the one thing I could imagine that might make a difference is regulations coming into force that mandated pentests / fuzzing for companies producing software doing a certain amount in revenue. It's been my experience that that stuff gets done but it's once in a blue moon. And stuff is always turned up. I'm yet to work anywhere where it is part of a regular process.

Even if it were I'm always blown away by security researchers who spend months and months attacking something and finally crack it then give a presentation about how they did it. There can't even be that many people on Earth with the level of skillset required.

I dunno... the economics of it seem to play out like "let's just deal with the fallout of an incident when it happens because that's cheaper than investing in security"

The asymmetric nature of finding holes vs not creating them combined with the asymmetric nature of the business value of investing in security is just a mildly awful combination.
First reread the comment so you understand it.
"China and USA are not friends" and "IP theft is not theft" both happen to be at least somewhat true.
I... I think that was the joke. :)
Culture exports. Hollywood and the internet spring to mind. The cia apparently funded a lot of modern art to show american cultural supremacy.
Anecdotally, it seems fairly common for people to move between Boston and NYC.
The network still functions when the internet connection goes down. I think you do need an account though.
Reddit, like Usenet, or IRC, is just a collection of individual communities that happen to share an identity system. Expecting the (not-logged-in) Reddit front page to be “intellectual discourse” would be like expecting a random selection of Usenet posts or IRC chat-lines to be “intellectual discourse.”

Try just visiting specific Reddit communities, rather than looking askew at the entire menagerie as if there was value there.

Same goes for YouTube: just subscribe to specific channels based on out-of-band recommendations. Or for Twitter, or Netflix, or anything else. These platforms have good things; even curated collections of good things. But you won’t find them by asking the platform to show you something good.

In short: ignore recommendation systems. They are very good at surfacing content that the average “profitable” user that the business targets, wants to see. They are horrible at surfacing the “best” (e.g. highest positive impact on your life for having consumed it) content.
I wanted one for someone else. Several people, actually.
Looking at the definition from Steve's post:

> For this system to work, you first need to declare a public API. ... Once you identify your public API, you communicate changes to it with specific increments to your version number.

If you don't have a public API in Prettier, SemVer doesn't actually apply. If you do have a public API, only changes to that API (meaning the types, arities, functions, names, modules etc.) qualify for version number bumps. Everything else (like changing the output format) does not qualify.
They are helping them violate human rights. Therefore, they do have a list. It's just the wrong type of list.
"I've worked "for myself" for almost 20 years"

What were the early years like? How did you get clients, and how long was it until you started making decent money?
The night parrot cometh.
rsync was never ISC licensed afaik. The parent is referring to openrsync's license.
I agree. The previous UI was much better.
My employment contract prevented any kind of outside work so that wasn't an option. Even if I could, it would still have been hard. I'm making this change to improve my lifestyle, and working nights and weekends in addition to a full-time job and raising young 2 kids doesn't sound like an improvement. Maybe if I was desperate I would have, but it wasn't the case.
As someone with a Ryzen 1xxx, X370-based motherboard, and 32GB of ECC RAM the link you give is a bit out of date in that Windows 10 better supports ECC (the same X370 with `wmic memphysical get memoryerrorcorrection` reports 6 now). Much of the rest of the article about a wide selection of memory, finding the motherboard firmware toggles, etc are still valid.

There are also posts at other fora complaining that Hardware Canucks is wrong to suggest that an uncorrectable error should result in an immediate system halt - I leave that argument to those who are interested.
While I think this is a little extreme, I understand fully the sentiment behind it.

It's lamentable considering how simple the site is but there exist currently, no good alternatives! I suppose we can attribute that at least partly to the Network Effect. I've been tired of it since the front-end redesign; I grew weary of the dark patterns, the constant nagging to use their app when on mobile, the fact that my back button took me to the top of the page and (most of all, in fact) the overall quality of the threads, so my usage has decreased dramatically over the last 3 months. I suspect I we are no longer longer Reddit's target audience and they will do very well going forward but it's a shame for me at least, that something I've been using for over a decade is fading into background noise.
> Yes, everyone's got it wrong because in the same breath you tell us the price is going up then not to look at the price.

You're a lot like a climate change denier. Just like there is a difference between weather and climate, there is a difference between short term volatility vs a long term trend.

> Inflation isn’t bad because you’re not supposed to hold cash. You’re supposed to use it to purchase productive assets, like stocks, bonds or real estate which track and exceed inflation. It’s even good for borrowers because debts become cheaper over time. It’s a regular haircut for unproductive capital, the mechanism by which capitalism allocates capital efficiently. Money isn’t supposed to become more valuable by virtue of you just having it. Under your bird bath, of course because it’s not safe anywhere else.

There isn't a "supposed to/not supposed to" argument. Cryptocurrency doesn't have to be something that is supposed to be anything. Inflation gives a currency pressure to be traded, yes, and being able to trade it easily makes it more useful, and hence adds to its popularity.

But it's not the only reason a currency becomes popular, and the other benefits that cryptocurrency have over little green pieces of paper are IMO enough so it can continue to grow.

> Even the hardcore coiners on reddit have started admitting it’s sole value is hiding your wealth offshore out of reach of the long arm of the tax man. Or for the narcos!

It can be easily transferred anywhere in the world almost instantly, and ownership very well hidden. These are great benefits, even if they haven't been completely capitalized on yet.

I'm not sure if Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency is going to end up the leader, but I do believe that this industry is going to continue to grow. The cryptocurrency market has crashed and recovered 6 times in the last 8 or 9 years or so. All of your arguments had exactly the same amount of weight as they did the previous 5 crashes, yet the crypto market recovered and greatly surpassed even the weighty highs of the peak before the last crash. Are you really going to tell me that this time is different?
Yes. The app makes it much more difficult for women to subvert the oppression. Before the app the government used little paper slips to grant travel permission, now the "guardians" get SMS notifications when a woman's passport is scanned.
The German newspaper article names construction and operation of railway stations, and the construction of the infrastructure itself.

My main point is: there seems to be a non-neligible impact, and CO2 calculators don't help me grasp that.
The XOR is still idiomatic because it is smaller than the MOV, because the immediate zero has to be encoded as the same size as the destination register.
I appear to have independently parroted your comment! I do apologise. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who feels that way though!
not sure why you're being downvoted, you're exactly right. if hn got a user base the size of reddit's overnight, you can be sure the quality of discussions would similarly degrade. the same is true for every social network (digital or otherwise) i've ever been a part of.
As I Mexican I am only surprised by how building a wall came to be this hate crime by the USA. The majority of Mexicans support building a wall on our southern border and the distrust of immigrants is highly warranted. I can only see that the US wants one of their own as reasonable. Plus, if the militarization of the US-Mexico border leads to decreased drug and sex trafficking it would be a net positive for Mexico. Popular opinion is that the only problem it would bring would be that a lot of this immigrants would (unlawfully, of course) choose to make Mexico their home. People are shocked that there has been quite a bit of support for immigrants by our government when we have plenty of issues with our own people (lack of jobs, opportunities, very low quality education, famine) to be concerned for the welfare of strangers. Plus the immigrants reputation is earned; South American gangs have become a scourge of our cities outskirts.
Some of the people consuming a name brand product in a market without alternatives will switch over to the knockoff if it comes to market.
I usually hangout on r/programming, r/hardware and a few other communities. Discussion is indeed better.
Since prettier isn't using Semver (I don't think it can either), maybe instead of Semver, you can experiment with alternate schemes which do provide more clarity. Example: an `YYMM.patch` style version, something like "1903.01"
So if its legal to commit genocide in a particular country, you're totally ok with US companies helping to do so?

People have mentioned better luck buying Samsung-branded ECC UDIMMs. I heard, but couldn't verify, some of their modules are even on the latest QVLs.
If you need a little bit more determinism the beaglebone has a PRU (programmable realtime unit), a separate processor that can pass data back and forth to the main RAM.

Here's an article from 2016 (3 years back!) where Krugman predicted a global recession.

"The economic fallout of a Donald Trump presidency will probably be severe and widespread enough to plunge the world into recession, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman warned..."

Glancing over 3 year's worth of employment, GDP and stock data, it seems safe to say Krugman is sometimes simply wrong. Very, very wrong.

https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/krugman-trump-global-...
A lot of assumptions here. Do they know that is the explicit purpose of the app? Has it been reported? Again I don’t agree with their policies, but who’s job is it to keep track? I would think the press. However since the business mandate seems to be peddling outrage it’s easy for things to get lost in the Twittersphere.
I think I read that Tencent only put in $100M of the $300M. Which means they only bought 3% of the company. That wouldn't warrant a board seat.
This is very good advice. One of my most upvoted Hacker News comments was saying that creating an account and whitelisting the subreddits you want to read is a tremendous improvement on reddit.

Funny thing to me is that it is really hard to isolate yourself in this way on Twitter. I've spent a lot of time trying to do this but politics always seems to leak through. One thing that has helped is by turning off retweets for as many people as I can.
So... because China violates the rights of Chinese citizens, the US deserves to violate the rights of Chinese citizens?

It goes both ways. I'm sure we'd all prefer if everyone would just stop violating human rights, but that isn't happening. It's not fair to ignore the US's human rights violations just because of China's, and it's not fair to ignore China's human rights violations just because of the US's. Both governments are hypocritical.
Dead on. Caveat emptor.
Those things are great snippets of cultural discourse, though. The similarities in the things won't might find in a random sampling of Usenet, or IRC, or Reddit will undoubtedly be interesting to academics in the future.
I don't use eero+ (their managed firewall service) and run my eeros in bridge mode behind an ISP router/firewall…so with those caveats: my wifi has stayed up even when the uplink to the ISP is down. I have not tried managing the wifi when this has happened so it's possible that the app doesn't work.
To me, it would be very odd if no one wants that since human vary. Someone out there must be crazy enough to just abandon their life on earth to have a chance to set the first stone of civilization in mars (or on the other extreme, no longer wants to live on earth).
But then they'll take it on their ego, thus defeating the purpose
I'll assume you're referring to your comment that was flagged to death and accept your apology.
I’m no denier, I have facts. The declining hash rate, the declining price, the exchanges going under, the 85% of dApps that don’t have a single daily transaction on average, the miners shutting down, going out of business, steam, Microsoft, Expedia all stopping supporting crypto. And the price too. It takes some serious head in the sandmanship not to notice.

I will tell you this time is different in the same way you tell yourself on the way up each time it’ll be different and this time it won’t crash. What’s different this time is there are no new bag holders. They all lost their shirts last time around. The price relies on new bag holders because 1800 new BTC are generated by miners and then sold to pay the electricity bills. That’s $2.4 billion dollars per year in sales pressure. The more the price goes up the more the sales pressure goes up. $20K per bitcoin requires $13B in new bag holder money per year. $100K means $65B in new bag holder money per year.

You sidestepped all the issues I pointed out: usability, intentionally built to prevent stopping scams, fraud, illegal activity. How it can’t serve the needs of the public. Nothing. Just more religious/MLM/ponzi sales pitch of hope, pray, moon soon. You even said so where you mentioned it’s a good thing your idle useless capital is increasing in value for NO REASON.
China now owns the front page of the internet.
I had to disagree and commit sometimes or commit to a compromise that I didn't like. I didn't mean anything nefarious. Just the usual stuff that happens when doing something with a group of people and many stakeholders.

I plan to avoid this by being in charge :) ... If in the future I hire employees or get a partner, some of this might still happen obviously. But I still expect it to be significantly less than at a corporate job.
Apple has, with the iPhone, ignored region-locked devices.
