Oh jeez I’m reminded of ACE and TAO and all that stuff in C++, which in theory was a great idea and should have resulted in easy, efficient servers but always seemed to footgun any projects I saw that used it.

Part of the problem was heavy use of inheritance and templates at a time of peak design pattern mania, part was just the nature of C++ and finally a dash of leaky abstractions because “low level async is hard”.

I guess based on experiences with ACE/TAO in C++, Python twisted and a couple of other frameworks that tried to “bolt on” deep server stuff:

It's funny how some companies just seem to acquire old giants/pioneers as some sort of trophy case to the point where they have the DNA of most of the industry, but frequently little of the talent.

I think of companies like Chrysler who through AMC acquired pretty much all of the extinct mid-century American car companies and now has branched all over the globe. How much of that old history is even tracable.

Also Computer Associates, wherever they are now.
That's obviously not ok either, you can’t advertise the car as being able to do whatever you want to, then not deliver what you advertised because the manual says otherwise.

That’s not a car specific concept, that’s the definition of false advertising.

Since we're talking about incentives, without cheap labor the incentive will be to increase automation until the total cost comes back down. So domestic workers' desire for high-pay/low-skill jobs is just as selfish/artificial as companies' desire for cheap labor. That doesn't mean it's bad, but slamming companies for responding to market forces when it comes to immigration alone is almost cherry-picking. You have to consider the whole picture to make good policy.
None of the responses to your question seem to hit at what I believe the source: racism. Single payer has met resistance from the right because people have this misguided notion that they will have to pay for "other peoples mistakes", which is just dogwhistle.

The ad for Minecraft Earth, reminds me of a cyberpunk novel, Spook Country, by William Gibson.

In the novel, there are layers of augmented reality where people have put their mark on the world with AR Dioramas scattered through-out the world. In the book, AR scenes might depict historical events, art, or information.

I'm not suggesting that they're the same. Instead, I'm offering an example of another thing you could do in your child's education that might seem good at the time but would actually give them a disadvantage.

I get that using a Dvorak keyboard isn't a total barrier to communication but it is non-standard in our society and so possible advantages would be outweighed by the children having to adjust when they encounter the world at large.
Ask HN: How do you escalate poor support from a vendor (personal use)
I have a piece of consumer grade personal use hardware that can be optionally configured by software distributed by the same vendor. I don't want to name and shame but let's just say it's a pointing device.

The configuration software for this device is missing a really basic feature that their previous generations of devices had, and can still be configured via 3rd party software today. I won't be using that software because I don't trust them, don't want to pay them, and both the OS and the device vendor software should have options here but neither do.

In trying to raise this issue to support and simply asking, "can you relay this to dev/PM?" I'm getting the run around. Large copy/paste blocks of "this is how you install the software", or instructions on how to use it for OS I don't use and devices I don't use. Unbelievably frustrating, the responses are clearly not what I was looking for and are clearly ignoring information I have provided. It looks like they're just trying to frustrate me into giving up. If not, then support is just completely useless.

How do I escalate this? Naming and shaming on Twitter/Reddit? Searching for dev/PM/exec contacts on LinkedIn and spamming them? Reporting this to Better Business Bureau? Would Gizmodo have a field day with it?

I used to like the products of this company a lot, but I can't stomach buying from them if this is how they treat their customers. The company run forums are riddled with similar issues with no response. What's the point of running a forum if you don't listen to the people on them?

This is what I don't get about the Stephen Pinker argument that "everything's getting better." To a country experiencing something like a collective mental breakdown, how does the claim that the bad parts are "all in your head" help anything at all?

Mental health is getting worse because the economy is getting worse, simply.
For a few years I worked in the bean processing industry alongside many other citizens, working for a small (relatively speaking) ag business that only hired citizens on principle. These jobs were highly competitive; I only got the job because I had the privilege of the owner being my godfather. These were low skill jobs that other businesses would use illegal labor below minimum wage for. My first job for him was standing next to a conveyor belt and picking the sticks out of the beans. Real boring work, but for my education level at the time the pay was great. I eventually moved on, but I have a lot of friends from highschool still working for that business (now working for my godfather's son, who took over the business after his father retired a while back.)

So what you are saying may be largely true for low-wage ag labor, but it's not 100% true for fair wage low-skill ag labor.
>the aftermath was so painful that they basically refuse to check luggage ever again.

I know this is why people don't check luggage, but knowing the possibility exists makes it possible to plan around. I don't often fly with more than a backpack, but when I do I always check.

Nothing I don't mind losing forever, nothing that can't be temporarily replaced. If bag gets delayed only have the airline deliver somewhere staffed to receive a package (like an office/hotel) and with plenty of time for the delivery to be made, or get it from the baggage office on the way out.

One drink a day is quite a bit of drinking compared to what I consider normal, and the difference between 914/100,000 and 918/100,000 is small.

I'd say the advice that you can drink in light or moderate amounts without any significant risk is still sound. But if you're not inclined to drink for other reasons, you shouldn't start doing so for your health.

"More bugs in Go code are related to message passing than shared memory" and "Go's message passing reduces the number of bugs in code" are not necessarily contradictory statements. It's entirely possible that the code which can be implemented by message passing would have been the most difficult to deal with even if it were done with another concurrency framework, and would have had more bugs in that case.

How does Go's message passing compare to an implementation in C/C++ using shared memory? What about using a modern async/await framework, like in Javascript or C#? What about using Software Transactional Memory? None of these questions are answered.

> What does 'wanting a conspiracy' mean?

It means that people become so obsessed with "critical thinking" that they will never be satisfied. Every group telling them to let it go becomes just another brick in the wall of conspiracies surrounding them. Every shred of evidence just invites more questions about who faked it and why.

It's interesting to speculate on the motives, although somewhat mood. Some people probably enjoy just the thrill of thinking about these. Quite possibly, we have some circuits that engage in such speculation, and they do serve some purpose: After all, sometimes they really are coming for you. Maybe the ability to associate only with others that share your fantasies today is the real problem, because the trait itself evolved in times where it was kept in check by your immediate peers, whose rolling eyes would at some point get you to shut up.

This is rather detrimental for society because we no longer have any trusted sources of truth all sides of an argument agree on. Was the economy improving during Obama? "No, all those statistics are fake!" Is the economy continuing to improve? "No, the new guy is now faking the statistics!"

JFK, Area 51, Club 54,... these things have now thankfully passed the threshold of relevancy. But the problem is larger than ever before.

This assumes the servers for S3 etc are dedicated to the task.

I’m not sure that follows. Unpatched, most of these Intel CVEs are almost like unpatched local privilege escalation vulnerabilities. Once you’ve compromised a low privilege process you can sniff your way to more and more powerful credentials on the machine, host, and in the network.

Unless higher abstraction cloud service providers are dumb enough to just run everything as root, in which case this doesn’t change anything, they probably can’t (competently) get away with not patching these. Defence in depth matters.

In the article, the section "Cheap kombucha on the shelves, BMWs in the parking lots" says:

For Aldi, part of its success lies in appealing not only to low or mid-income shoppers, but to wealthier ones as well. Aldi’s core shopper tends to make more money and have a slightly higher education level than the overall grocery shopper, according to Bain. On a recent trip to an Aldi in Hackensack, New Jersey, luxury vehicles, including a $50,000 Jaguar and an $80,000 Tesla Model X, dotted the small parking lot alongside Toyotas, Fords and Hondas. Walmart’s Foran has marveled that when he visited an Aldi in Australia, BMWs and Mercedes were in the parking lot there, too.

I think they're just generally liked across right across a whole spectrum of incomes.
A big problem is that healthcare isn't often truly debated rationally.

When the ACA was going through Congress, there were accusations of "death camps" flying around that the new healthcare system was going to round up and exterminate old people. These rumors were sometimes pushed by congressional candidates and high-level party officials.

Fast-forward to today, and you see opponents of the ACA claiming that they're trying to protect preexisting conditions coverage too, when they're absolutely not.

Our political system rewards lies and disinformation, and when a significant portion of the population believes these lies without any skepticism, then we're no longer debting rationally.

> This sort of ignores the hardest part of shipping binaries; linked libraries.

Time has shown that dynamic linking all the things is a terrible idea on many fronts anyway. Why do you think there's all this Docker around and compiling statically is on an upward trend?

The solution is simple: DLLs for base platform stuff that provides interfaces to the OS and common stuff, statically compile everything else. Then the OS just ships a "virtual arch" version of the platform DLLs in addition to native on every arch.

The reason the Linux Community don't want this sort of thing is that, frankly, they just hate stability. I mean, the Kernel is stable (driver ABI excepted), but basically nothing outside of that is.

Nowhere does the myth of progress have more fervent believers."

A couple of things seem obvious. Given the relative safety of the society the crime occurred within, the police were caught with their pants down, and were completely unprepared to deal with a major crime carried out according to a premeditated plan.

After that, everything else is a natural mess.

But, given version of the story as presented here Christer Pettersson seems like an idiot, just useful enough to have done it. Nonetheless, the crime was assuredly well planned, and used the absolute minimum violence at the right moment that permitted escape, so whoever did it planned to get away with it, planned it to kill, and planned the least amount of dramatic flair possible. Seems professional to me. Doesn't seem like the kind of thing to be done by a sloppy drunk with nothing to gain from it.

Someone had something to gain, but we don't know what that was. Without the clear motive, an obvious goal, the thing that made it worth the effort, it's hard to see why anyone wanted him dead.

Unfortunately, that's what makes the drunk such a good suspect, and such a lackluster reality. It feels like there should be more to it.

Ask HN: What are career paths for software developers?
I am a software developer, and am thinking how I can best prepare myself for the future in my career and life. I'm currently a software developer II, and obviously see the move into a senior software developer > lead > architect.

The more I'm working in this field, the more I enjoy the programming, specifically building products that people find useful and noteworthy. The things I less enjoy are the politics and project-planning.

Becoming a senior software developer means more politics and project-planning, or maybe not? Perhaps its dependent of the company I work for?

I was thinking about going to get a masters degree, but if my job becomes moreso focused on resources and planning (as a senior software developer), I'll like my job less. What are possible options as a software developer for career options?
