I definitely recommend Go. Not only for the language itself, but for the lesson about simplicity it provides. Sometimes developers using others languages uses and abuses of features to be productif, smart, ... causing more damage than benefict. It's not the way to do things in Go.

Go is multiplatform, and you can easily cross-compile for other OS or other CPU architecture. It produces a single binary then it's easy to deploy. It could be useful.

Go is really easy to learn, in a single day you will have a good understanding of the language itself. It's really something interesting to learn and practice a bit, without needing weeks of work. Even if it doesn't suit you, you had not loss many time.
That's why it's super important to have a good infrastructure for deconstructing and safely emptying AC units and refrigerations. Older models use the nasty stuff that broke down the ozone layer, glad that has been banned at least.
You're not arguing that the line should be drawn somewhere else. You're arguing that there is no line.

So let's take it all the way. What makes the life of a lab mouse more valuable than the life of a single cell of yeast?

I think answers about awareness and capability just rationalize the fact that intuitively some life forms are more sympathetic to us than others. We will draw the line at some level of sympathy, but only as far as practicality allows us.

A human life is more valuable than the life of a lab mouse because a human is more sympathetic than a mouse and it is impractical to value lab mice highly. That's the only answer.
Thundercats or He Man made extensive use of slow pans, and still inner monologues and still face offs etc. And transformers was even worse.

The only thing that sticks out in HB cartoons is every character does the moonwalk everywhere. But they actually added to detail so you had a frame of reference to tell they were doing that.
In 1988 a Commodore 64 was still a thing. It ran Microsoft Basic. And .Net was slowly being built. Bill Gates has some wild ideas.
The complexity is modular, tactile, solution-oriented, and opt-in.

The iPhone would be unusable if it came installed with every possible app. Making apps opt-in gives users the power to decide which features they do/don't want. And apps are sold as limited tools for specific tasks, not as a rat's nest of do-everything features - like many desktop apps.

Apple could have split apps into different hardware categories, so instead of apps that used the camera you had Camera Apps as a separate category to Microphone apps. But that would have been exactly the wrong approach.

The Apple approach makes user benefits obvious and keeps the technology subservient to them, which is as it should be.

Although having said that, it's hard to imagine today's Apple making that choice and getting it right in the same ways.
Where to Put Input Validation
Wouldn't just compressed air (the same stuff we breathe) be good enough?

Actually, in places where compressed air is used frequently, why not use a compressor? Much more renewable. I can imagine regular compressed air causes static electricity or something though so maybe a system that negates that (and filters the air)?
> It all comes down to the level of self awarenes and emotional development demonstrated by species.

Why does it come down to self awareness and emotional development? Because of suffering? Nothing about this is obvious, but I believe (given lack of evidence to the contrary and given that mice and human brains are similar enough) that mice suffer as much as humans. This is my belief -- not an argument intended to convince others.

> saying that their lives are worth as much as human lives is ridiculous and insulting to all humans.

Anything unconventional is ridiculous. But how is it insulting to humans? Are we supposed to be at the top somehow? This is a religious argument you seem to be making.

This is a touchy topic, and I don't think productive discussion will obtain here, so I will not make any further comments in this thread.

I'm Japanese, and while I don't exactly suggest doing away with it completely, I don't think it has a place in the vast majority of information processing going on in society today.

These Gengō updates force a massive, MASSIVE number of date entry forms (both paper and digital) -- from banks to government offices to driver's licenses to middle school soccer club application forms to just literally ANYTHING else imaginable -- to update to new versions including the new era name, resulting in so much wasted resources and taxpayer money every time it happens. Sure, standardizing all forms to the Gregorian calendar will also cause a mess, but at least that would only happen once. (A lot of those forms have already voluntarily switched to the Gregorian calendar, but a huge number still continue to use the Gengō notation, especially government-related forms.)

The Gengō era system even left us our own version of the Y2K problem: Back when legacy mainframe systems were being built, there were systems that recorded the year internally using the Showa era count (Showa 1 = 1926), and was kept that way even after the Showa era ended in 1989 and Heisei rolled around. Such systems will reach year Showa 100 on 2025, where unfixed systems could act weird much like with Y2K.

Also to note is that conservatives in power were very strongly opposed to publicizing the new era name ahead of its implementation (citing "tradition"), completely ignoring the reality of modern-day IT infrastructure requiring time to implement code updates and test their systems against all imaginable edge cases. As a compromise, they ended up giving one month advance notice (The new era goes in effect May 1), but this is way too little time.

So I'm fine with the Gengō counting system being used in casual conversation or formal imperial rituals and such, but those are about the only things I'm fine with.

As a bystander to this discussion, though, I should add that I held the same convictions as GP, feeling that it was somehow obvious that you were wrong. When I applied some serious scrutiny to this thought, though, it became a lot less obvious. I say "I" applied scrutiny, but it was basically this book, which I would therefore recommend to anyone reading along: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29380.Animal_Liberation

It might not convince you completely of this point, but it will force you to seriously consider your arguments, and is therefore in my opinion a great intellectual exercise.
Ask HN: Twitter is now blocking cybersec tweets?
Today was disclosed a vulnerability on the Intel CPUs that anyone on HN can visit: https://gadgets.ndtv.com/laptops/news/intel-visa-sa-00086-exploit-researchers-computer-data-access-2014854

However, when trying to share the link to that page on twitter: that action is blocked. Cannot share the direct link.

I can share any other link. I can even use bit.ly to generate a link and post the new link. However, Twitter is specifically blocking a link from being shared.

This action was recorded on video. Where I try to post the link a few times, and then finally type something else that immediately gets accepted: https://media.giphy.com/media/kiB8T8qeTHCVdUM2oZ/giphy.gif

On twitter I have +9000 followers, a good part related to cybersec.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar censor on their tweets?

Thanks.

Serious question. What's wrong with simply having a static directory from which you send html files to the client? I do that all the time with my servers and the load times and the complexity of the project never seems to get out of hand. When the app needs to be highly interactive, I perform simple fetch requests and DOM updates from JS. Am I missing something here?

Ah - you don't think it's a little off that a tiny, obscure and exclusive group of 70-100 year olds, dressed up in costumes from a bygone era, gets to decide what goes into your official dictionary? Especially when they talk in such pompous way:

I find the sound of the French language absolutely beautiful, including the when you use English words, and I am an admirer of your country's culture.

I once made my own ketchup. After nearly 2 hours of work the result tasted pretty much like a really cheap and not very good commercial ketchup. Before you add sugar and vinegar, it tastes like a delicious Indian tomato sauce, though.

The approach seems fanciful - especially if applied to organisations with more diverse roles - for example would they really pay a janitor the same as a top level developer? The cynic in me feels the fact they don't have a broad spectrum of roles (20 total employees); the organisation is engineered to not be disparate in terms of expertise. More cynicism: most "lowly" roles would be outsourced to service companies and conveniently sidestepped.

It would be good if you could do stuff like give it an itinerary - I am going fishing this weekend with my awful in-laws - and it could give you sort of a list of things you might end up being charged with to look out for.
I would like to see a requirement for tax-exempt charities (maybe even any organization, tax-exempt or not, that acts like a charity, collecting donations to help with healthcare/shelters/residences/infrastructure/education) to report pass-through granular summaries of material expenses and labor for lowest-level contractors, per project. Each project should state clearly its scope, budget, expected outcome, and final outcome once available.

As far as I can see, not even more honorable NGOs like the Gates Foundation do this. I see their annual report, and I see their financial statements, but neither really gets at what I'm looking for.

As generic examples, "Haiti earthquake recovery" and "malaria program" are not valid project scopes. They're vague umbrella categories that could have tons of unnecessary overhead with many levels of "contractors".
I'd just add that you get what you pay for. There's no bubble gum hacks keeping your ISPs networking gear forwarding packets when their air con fails and the inlet temperature hits 50C. Or when it goes the other way (to a lesser degree).That's the higher spec they are engineered to meet.

German does not have such an institution - I am German and that's just a fact.

Spanish might have such an institution, but it evidently does not work - Mexican Spanish != Spanish Spanish != .... Note that I did not say it does not exist, I said there is no "powerful centralized" instance deciding this. I stand to this judgement, also for Spanish.

The extent of the actual influence wielded by the academie francaise seems to me pretty unique.
I use a 39" 4K monitor and absolutely love it for both dev work and TV. Being a monitor and not just a 'TV with DisplayPort input' means it sleeps/wakes correctly, and I haven't watched free-to-air TV in over a decade, so I don't miss the lack of a tuner.

A reality being "more complicated" doesn't mean it doesn't have simple constituent parts (kinda like FFT).

Our reality is still created by a contribution of several factors, some of which have greater weight, it's not some intangible mass of confusion with no alternative but "business as usual" as the "non-populists" present it.

It might not have been Chinese themselves, for example, but it was the outsourcing and migration of industries that left many people without a job (and no real prospect for "re-education" and a new career, at most a crappy lower deal).

Google recently filtered some emails into spam for us. Those emails were sent by Google Docs, in response to us adding comments to our own private doc. This was all within the same organization.

I've also repeatedly seen them suddenly spam filter individual messages in long threads of conversation. Like they weren't taking into account that a message was part of a two way conversation at all, even though they have In-Reply-To and Reference headers linking them to those non spam filtered conversations.

They also randomly spam filter transactional emails that we send from our servers that are from our own domain, to the same domain as hosted by GMail, that is fully validated by SPF, DKIM and DMARC. That should never happen. We clearly trust our own domain, so if mail from that domain is authenticated, let the bloody email through 100% of the time!

It's like they spent all their time working on how to blacklist email, and zero time working on when to whitelist it.

The most important part of a spam filter is the whitelisting.
That's like: "We had a taste of a world after segregation, the LA riots. Was that better?".
