Cereal is awful. When I ate cereal, I could eat a heaping bowl at 7 am and be murderously hungry by 10.

I need some protein and fat in the morning; a couple eggs, a few slices or bacon or ham. Even toast with peanut butter is okay. Then I'm set up for the day and can usually skip lunch if I don't get to it.
It seems like 90% of this can be achieved for free using a language with duck typing and named parameters. But of course we know codes written in those languages are often not robust and inmaintanable. What is missing? Is it the static typing? Or that all of these goals are implemented mindfully? Maybe the key is in how you document the principles.
UK's Sophos isn't exactly struggling. Always one of the better ones back when individual anti virus mattered. Their Network Protection - UTM still seems well thought of. I think it's even free for home use.

Completely unlike the vastly over priced marketing junk of McAfee and Symantec that got pre-installed on just about every Windows machine. First thing to do with a friends machine? Get them to install something else instead and see the performance gain!

Oh, and Spybot Search and Destroy (German) was first choice for getting rid of the crap Norton and McAffee happily let in for about half a decade or more, and just about only choice for a while.
What you are asking for does not seem unreasonable, quite the opposite. What exactly are they afraid of?
I suspect the majority of people who claim to disdain SOLID principles are in fact using them every day without realizing it.

Seems pretty disturbing that so many engineers are piling on to recommend abandoning adherence to some really basic (and easy to understand and apply) ideas about design. Glad I don't work with you! :-P
To be fair, while the channel rights enforcement is done "client side," the real work is likely done by an M-Card in your set-top box. This is a secure environment that contains hardware to support decrypting MPEG streams on the fly. The M-Card is able to decrypt key bundles that are sent out-of-band and in-band in the video streams.

The bar to get channels you're not subscribed to is quite a bit higher because of this mechanism, alas.
Yeah, but last I checked, I think half a year ago, they were (still?) getting their results piped from Microsoft's Bing search engine.

I'd find it more important to develop the search engine technology than to, well... just rebrand another US search engine, essentially...

What will they sue YT for? The creators aren't employed by YT and therefore YT doesn't owe them a cent. Copyright law doesn't forbid over-blocking or demonetization and the new EU Copyright directive explicitly forbids under-blocking. The only thing those creators can do is leave YT and let it die from a lack of content. They don't have any legal or financial teeth at all.

A few plants are parasitic on other organisms, and have given up photosynthesis. An example is the Bird's-Nest Orchid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neottia_nidus-avis) which is parasitic on a woodland fungus.

But these examples are unusual; the vast majority of plants get their energy the normal way, through photosynthesis using cholorophyll.

I failed out of college multiple times. My life was bad and unstable and I had panic attack and depression. I also have difficulty visualizing future rewards. I have one of these “weak” psychologies.

I met my wife, who helped “smooth out” my moods, and went from someone who couldn’t hold down a job at Walmart to a software engineer making many multiples of what I did just five years ago.

Even with the stability it mostly allowed me to take adderall without horrible behavioral side effects like compulsive gambling.

You’re right though, for me I was basically forgotten and nobody cared at that point. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom sleeping on my moms couch that things got better. I feel like I was pulled up out of a hell I didn’t know I could escape from.
> Cow's milk is full of growth hormones

This is true in the US, but not everywhere.
> That the EU should stand up and be an actual 3rd party

That would require allignment of international politics across every EU state. If that is ever going to happen, we are very far, perhaphs hundreds of years, from that.
Yeah this sucks. the egoless approach is to suck it up and do the changes, but also to raise with the team the difference between feedback for implementing the feature & expressing opinions. One thing I liked about Review Board (!) was making comments as 'Issue' (to make it clear this had to be fixed before merging) vs. not (making it just opinion/non-critical feedback). Though in a team of pedants you would find every comment being marked as an issue
> If code knows which updates to make, it essentially embeds a particular form of the diff algorithm.

Having an alternative means of identifying where to make targeted updates on data changes (i.e., via static analysis during a compilation step) is not the same thing as embedding "a particular form of the diff algorithm" (which would be a runtime operation). Svelte does not produce anything comparable to a diff algorithm.

> That inevitably leads to more code to write as besides the initial construction of DOM one has to track changes.

With Svelte, there is actually less code to write, as the compiler handles generation of the change tracking code. And even the generated code is minimal and generally leads to much smaller bundles, as no runtime gets shipped with the code. This leads to faster startup times, which is often the real performance bottleneck for SPAs.

> And such manual tracking is not necessary optimal as the diff algorithm has a global picture and can target the globally optimally set of mutations, while manual in-component tracking optimizes for a particular component.

Can you offer an example where a "globally optimal set of mutations" would be different from the set of mutations Svelte would make on a given change?
It’s a tough calculation to forego a presumably high chance of having a comfortable life and providing a good base for your kids by working a regular job, versus shooting for the moon and possibly losing that comfortable lifestyle.

what if all Chinese companies create an appstore? Might have to do it. These things, and I'm not passing judgment on them, are simply pushing the Chinese to be self-sufficient on everything. Stroke of the Trump pen and X chip for your hardware is denied.
You say saturated fat and cholesterol like they are a bad thing. No, I do enjoy producing my own natural hormones. You may want to revisit the science of both. Much of the negative press has been funded by the sugar (grain) industry.
This is a bit content light, and there's no MITM of any content. Anything valuable will be secured with a secret client key. All this will do is show encrypted data flowing as well as some signalling in the clear.
> The EU is hardly in a position to actually address any security concerns.

Why?
China currently doesn't have a "credit score" like most of the rest of the world. They also don't have a national police database so this is their attempt to do both at once. If you look at the information these two things seem to make roughly 90% off your score.

Everything else is basically an experiment. Each district is doing it differently to find out what works the best and that will then be merged into what the country does. (The scientific process ... using data to inform policy)

I visited Guangzhou in 2018 and was expecting it to be crazy since it has "the worst levels of noise pollution in the world" https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/mar/08/where-world-n... but it was almost crazy how quiet the city was. After the report come out they went around the whole city putting in traffic lights and fixing up all the intersections. There is still traffic but it is now more organised than any Chinese city I have been to. I ask the locals about it and they love the cameras, the order and the reduction in noise pollution. They freely admit that without the cameras most of the other Chinese people would just not obey the road rules so they are glad that the cameras are there.

I image "social credit" will be similar. Lots of people here just don't pay bills because there is no credit history and there are no debt collectors (well not like in the west anyway). If you owe money to the wrong people then it is better to just disappear but for most companies, they have no power and they cannot do anything.
Considering the privacy implications of technology. I think there is good reason for every nation to be paranoid.

Planty of articles on HN are all about that.
> It's great that you know the law. They know it, too.

They don't. Or, if they do, they're actively violating the law by refusing to tell you what agency they were from. It's definitely an effective tactic to make enforcement of the law hard to impossible, but they are not working within the bounds of the law.

From: https://www.creditkarma.com/advice/i/debt-collection-rights/

> You have the right to ask for the debt collector’s name.

> As noted above, debt collectors are also required to furnish the name of their company or agency.

They cannot (legally) refuse to provide you the name of the collections agency.

If they do so, I'm not even sure how you would be able to make a payment. If this were to happen, I might try to imply (without explicitly stating) that I wanted to make a payment, and then ask who I need to contact to figure out how to write a check. I'd then use whatever address/contact information they gave me to start researching them.
> You can find hundred of studies to support your arguments, no matter what they are.

I think that simply incorrect, assuming 'studies' != Youtube videos. I know because I've been involved in internet arguments where I've gone looking for studies and found my own argument is incorrect/poorly supported.

The Continuous Delivery Maturity Model (2013)
Well, it's not hypocritical unless the US administration claims some sort of moral superiority as a result. No one as far as I know is seriously saying that the US is better than China for not having a Huawei (that we know about), but that the US and presumably its allies have an interest in avoiding this technology purely for their own self-interest.
The UK used to (?) be a haven for Ltd creation because of low costs, low bureaucracy and quick reactions. It's what lead to Germany's laws regarding UGs (Unternehmergesellschaft, literally entrepreneur company), much more comparable to the Ltd regarding easier access, much lower startup costs than the typical GmbH.

It will be interesting to see where these numbers move post-brexit.
You might just be an introvert of some sort, sounds eerily familiar from the description

Extroverts gain more energy from being around other people and in social situations.

Introverts (like me) can handle social situations perfectly well, but need some time to recharge afterwards. Preferably completely alone without human contact.

If I spend a day coding and just talk to my coworkers occasionally, during lunch and coffee breaks etc. - I'm just fine when I get back home.

If it's a day full of meetings with customers, I'm completely drained and pretty much useless to my family for the rest of the night (at least socially)

Good for you. Hamming worked long hours, neglected his wife and now there's a function named after him in every scientific library running billions of times a day.

Nobody should be forced to work long hours but if they want to, and it works for them - go for it I say.
There have also been discussion about the same thing happening in music and science. That is, the people who produce the best work also produce the most work, and a lot of that work is bad. But some of it is very, very good.
GP's point of view: A poor person can have a small safety net that separates him from absolute poverty and homelessness. If they start their own business, fail, and end up without enough money to pay for the rent, the consequences could be terrible. They also have a finite time to save enough for a descent retirement. Spending several years on a startup with a high fail rate can dramatically reduce the quality of their old days.
Neat, but I strongly recommend a "related" section in your list of pointers. One of the best ways to communicate what you've made is to relate it to things people already know. E.g. is this thing like Protobuffs or like Markdown? Is it like a Merkle Tree or like Moment? Another valuable thing this does is give people looking for an alternative technology a way to find your thing.
Having implemented a few devices, honestly, the spec couldn't be more straight forward. It's really a case of hardware engineers being terrible at user experience. Just because a device is expensive doesn't mean the company has put all necessary effort into the BT stack. Look at how many "simple" things Apple, Google, and Facebook screw up on a daily basis.
Driverless cars working together can speed up traffic by 35 percent
There’s a big difference between poor and zero, and a poor person betting on a startup can hit zero really quick.

At zero, you cannot pay rent and are likely to get evicted. Once evicted you are potentially NFA, which means you can’t get a bank card posted to you if you have problems with your card. How can you pay for food? Where can you use the bathroom? What about the electricity bill before you got evicted? The electricity bill that was late and now unpaid that’s ruining your credit score? Now you have bad credit and will find it harder getting a flat.

The above sentences where not chronologically cohesive because there’s so much working against the poor and those at zero, and I’m on mobile, I couldn’t take an hour to type it all out.

How on earth do you expect a poor person to do a startup, when they can barely feed themselves and keep a roof over their head?
And that’s why the military and intelligence agencies get funding. But what good does it do to get the general public scared and worked up about these issues?
I find your last point to be the thing that sticks out to me the most. I feel like the whole charisma to grease the wheels allows you to guide a company easier as a SME/senior technical when vision and leadership are failing. When I go down the complex argument route I can only convince some people but lose others from the differences in expertise and audience (or the people who somehow feel they can say any complete technical idea in 10 words or less and reject reading). When I am in the room you are just better enabled to deal when you start losing some of the people on the fringe.

In fact it feels like most times I try the complex argument route I end up in a charisma meeting anyway so who knows.

> In high school, smart students can often get away with not studying. In university, your attitude and mindset towards failure and learning becomes much more important.

In high school I rarely opened the textbook and did fine. I ended up on academic probation my first semester in college because I had no idea how to study (or even that I had to study). While it was a rough first year, it was definitely needed.
Surely we can do without the SOLID principles this time, right? right?
The implementation is somewhat disconcerting, but I’m not sure the underlying policy isn’t a good idea. Culture matters. When I go to Tokyo and see people walking a couple of blocks to cross the street (there isn’t necessarily a cross walk on every block), or carrying their litter with them, versus what I see in say New York, I’m astounded. Similarly for the fact that nobody has ever asked me for a bribe in the US, versus what you might see in Bangladesh. These virtuous behaviors are a better way to live and make life better for everyone. China seems to realize that and be trying to change culture in a systematic way. It should probably be done more by carrot than stick, but there is a a kernel of a good idea in there.

(I should note that Western countries had their own large-scale nearly universal social indoctrination and social credit systems—organized religion. Indoctrinating virtuous behaviors is a social function that needs to happen, the question is how do you do it. Note also that Chinese cities exist at a scale where the informal mechanisms for social credit break down. If you litter on my street, people will see you and they will notice. We regularly talk about neighbors who display antisocial behaviors. In New York? Outside maybe your condo board there are no such mechanisms.)
Many, if not most OSS packages which are released by academics or universities.
I can easily think of a few games which I would like to play but don’t have hardware for.

Also, lots of people prefer digital copies of games. Just look at the digital sales vs physical sales for Nintendo games which are generally available for both. I presume this is the case for other systems as well.
>the implied suggestion that the EU is somehow better off because there is less competition for EU-headquartered (but not necessarily EU-owned) firms is pretty absurd

Distantly that has been part of the argument that somehow that allows for the EU to legislate the internet as it has .... but considering the legislation I'm not sure it has proven to be a positive.
Thanks for saying this, it's especially strange to see so much people disparage SOLID as if they have outgrown the concept because it was invented some years ago.

Realistically, the best bet for Europe is to play the part of the USA in the lead-up to WW1. By remaining unaligned with either the axis or the allies until the war was essentially decided, they came out of the conflict as the sole winners.

Unfortunately, I expect that the EU will stick with the US, and get dragged into whatever that entails. I hope that the world has changed enough that total war between incumbent and upstart great powers isn't possible - but I don't really see any clear reasons why it shouldn't happen.

What I hope is that China is aware of the parallels between their situation and the situation of pre-WW1 Germany, or pre-WW2 Japan, and goes a different route. If they simply wait, focus on soft power, and ignore all provocations, they'll no doubt end up taking the USA's place.

1) claiming dominion to the entire world, implied by over 800 military bases in over 70 countries, implied by a "central command" pertaining to the middle-east and central asia

2) political grandstanding using the supposedly neutral mechanism of courts (grand jury trials...) to push political agendas and punish leaking in leiu of the actual malfeasance leaked about

3) unilateral sanctions that require 3rd party nations to comply with the USA's wishes over who it does and doesn't do business with. Said Huawei executive awaiting extradition from Canada to the USA is facing 30 years for trading with the Iranians against the US wishes.

4) claims of exemption from internationalism, the International Criminal Court, and general specialness with regards to following the rules-based structures many of which the US was initially instrumental in forming.

5) Establishing an international order of overtly authoritarian leaders while paying lip service to democracy. See Egypt (Mubarak and now his former general, Sisi) and Kissingers work with Pinochet and Allende for classic examples.

The US is arguably one of the most authoritarian nations on earth, trading in the pure hypocrisy of outright lying and denial when confronted with the reality of it's empire.

It's not a bloodless empire nor even very stable, by former imperial standards. It's certainly an empire, and thus authoritarian by definition. See "etymology" of the word "authority"
