Devil's advocate: Isn't this kind of behavior how we ended up with what became the POSIX command-line utilities? A bunch of people re-implementing and extending each other's stuff without changing the name?

I know that the word has changed a bit since then and that it's a bit different to appropriate a soul-less corporation's command names vs an individual volunteer.. It just happened to strike me as odd at the moment I came across this thread that we're so up-in-arms about this when we're all happily using utilities that were produced by the very same process every day.
If you only consider only white and black people to be foreigners. I'd say that there are a lot of Chinese and various other Asian ethnicities mixed in there that are hard to tell.
Both are changes that will break existing code. SemVer clearly signals this. Why bother with how long something has been deprecated?

This is nonsense. But the general idea of countries “sabotaging” each other is nothing new. Are you familiar with the Afghanistan-Russian story related to narco-terrorism? Russian being the party accusing the afghanis of funnelling heroine into their country and breaking its people.. and who controls the gold poppies in Afghanistan? none other than the good ol US of A
Yet what I see around is men being against having kids. While women do somewhat support the idea.

It's definitely not a one-sided issue.

But yes, infrastructure is definitely a massive issue. I wonder what would happen if resources that Western europe countries pour into migration would be put for fixing birth rate. Push propaganda on all fronts, put shit ton of money into infrastructure, install new cultural norms...

Yes, I avoided the “semantic” question as it seems very slippery, it could easily devolve to “Rust is turing complete so it is just the same as any other language”.

Out of interest, do you have any examples that you would consider semantically different, while still being appropriate for day-to-day programming?

You’ve taken that in a different direction than I meant. I’d absolutely agree surviving family members are victims too (albeit I’d call them victims’ families for clarity), but none of this will stop say a well motivated prosecutor from arguing that these contracts were signed under duress, bad faith, or include some kind of “unfair term” (which would invalidate a contract in the UK at least)

Additionally, the Autobahn is next to the airport, and planespotters also occupy the dirt just beside that.

And since the main approach is from the east, you have kilometers of fields with small dirt paths in that direction where you can watch airplanes very low and directly overhead.
How can a random truck stop in Kentucky detect that radiation, but apparently goods passed through Chinese ports (and in fact the supply chain) without setting off anything anywhere?

Shady people do wear hoodies. Sometimes non-shady people do, too. But imagine you're a convenience store clerk, are you going to be more suspicious of the person with a hoodie or a person without, all else being equal?

Sometimes people wear hoodies just because they feel self-conscious or don't want to feel exposed or vulnerable. No coincidence that it's mostly teenagers and young people who wear hoodies. That's understandable. But it's also fair for people to be suspicious of people not willing to expose themselves to public scrutiny.

There's a correlation between diverse societies and smiling. Why? Because smiling is a compensatory signal in environments prone to heightened suspicion or stress. Hoodies disrupt this and other social signaling mechanisms. Humans evolved extremely expressive facial signaling mechanisms, afterall, many of which are subconscious.
I've been living there for a while now and as much as there good things about London, being clean is absolutly not one of those... Unless you stay in the really wealthy areas. Where I live the really few public trash are never emptied, their content being scattered by foxes every night and people tends to discard their take away boxes on the pavements and roads where it stays for quite a while.

The stones being dirty is another issue. A lot of white stone will get darken by car pollution really quickly and cleaning those is a never ending process until fossil fuel is completely banned. The speed at which the the stone will get dirty as the the price of cleaning it wihtout damaging it differs a lot depending on the type of stone. I know that around the Loire valley, cleaning tuffeau is a huge pain.
Surely OpenSTEP does this?
Good point, I should have clarified, I meant "doesn't end in 's'".
Corporations don't really care about clean and green outside of PR and legal requirements. If solar that generates real power all day without fuel is more profitable than an expensive diesel generator that sits there depreciating unused just waiting for the grid connection to crap out, they pick solar.

And if it isn't but you want them to use it anyway, that's easy too -- put a carbon tax on that coal fired grid power so that the solar is cheaper and they're back to doing what you want them to.

But don't expect them to choose to lose money while their competitors burn coal, undercut them and put them out of business because you decided that them doing that should be perfectly legal.

The Big Thing that the banking system does is it lends people money and charges interest. The other services it provides are important but minor compared to that central goal.

Now, the US has an overt policy of controlling what interest rate is charged.

So the banking system is a free market in the sense that theoretically participants could choose to leave if they wanted to. However, there is also a very overt layer of government decision making and control. The government putting a finger on the scale in a very fundamental way.

Exactly how that compares to China is difficult to judge - whatever it is, I argue it isn't very capitalistic. Capitalists are supposed to go broke when they lose money and given how low interest rates are they are more likely to refinance themselves with a new loan. The damage that has been doing to wealth creation since the GFC in around '08 is profound.

It is hard to say how much worse China's approach is. It isn't as clear cut as China's Government vs 10,000s of Capitalists - in which case I'd favour capitalism by the numbers. The US government is hamstringing the ability of its own economy to organise around profitable ventures. Instead it is encouraging Ubers and Lyfts.

For people interested in this topic I can recommend "Hafu" (currently on Amazon streaming). From the blurb:

"The film follows the lives of five "hafus"-the Japanese term for people who are half-Japanese-as they explore what it means to be multiracial and multicultural in a nation that once proudly proclaimed itself as the mono-ethnic nation. For some of these hafus Japan is the only home they know, for some living in Japan is an entirely new experience, and others are caught somewhere between two worlds."
These are not bad things if you’re writing system code.
Thanks! Good suggestion. A few alternative “scenarios” with some presets could be nice.

You can configure that on windows using tpfancontrol. Should be similar on Linux. Tweak the fan curve to whatever the hell you want.

An alias to the replacement is not the same as silently replacing the package. Yes, the user who care will notice - it's a tool for sysadmins, and the ones worth their salt are already familiar with precisely this provision in package managers, and it's included for precisely this reason. There's always politics involved in replacing a tool, but they didn't steal his namespace - they made the decision to package their own alternative, and yes, that editorial decision does lie with the distribution.

To quote a comment from a dstat collaborator from the above linked thread-

> That said I don't fault you for make a new tool that does all the new fancy things you mentioned above, I do think it's a little sketchy to make a new tool called dstat without at least asking here first. I know that when I hit Fedora 29 and did a yum install dstat and I get a bunch of pcp stuff I was pretty confused.

The way they have things aliased right now, if you type in `yum install dstat` you will get this new program (including all of its baggage).
Nice suggestion! I’m reading Zubrin’s Case for Mars at the moment, the different possibilities for chemical processes are really extensive. Will look into adding fuel cells.
How do you arrive at the conclusion that looking at `./plugins/` is bad, but `../shared/dstat` is more acceptable? At first blush, the attack vector would seem to be exactly the same. Adding the extra layer of indirection does not seem, to my eyes, to add any significant extra layers of security. Both seem essentially untrustable from the perspective of the binary. Can you help me understand what I've missed in your explanation?

I can also see where someone might not want to endlessly re-debate an old security decision.

Thank you for the insight about landings. I am not a pilot but rather just think myself a knowledgeable enthusiast... Just enough to talk mumbo-jumbo.

I had never considered that aspect of increasing angle of attack on bringing the rear wheel down. Considering that and the fact that there is no rotation on takeoff, what is the appeal of a taildragger? I've even seen 152's converted to taildragger. Why would one do that? Do taildraggers have any advantage that I cannot fathom?

The most sensible way I’ve used TF was to create an api for others to consume, containing models of terraform modules.

Users can pick and chose what modules, how many and set some params which are then validated.

The components are then rendered as json, fully declarative, no counts, no fancy TF hacks.

Data sources and a couple of home grown providers take care of whatever needs to be dynamic.

This way a lot of foot-guns are removed for consumers, and it simplifies the whole thing.
At the expense of writing some code... worth it though, in a more enterprisey setting.

You don't see a difference between removing a rarely-used module that has been deprecated for a decade, giving developers 10 years to replace it on the one hand and overhauling the entire language, breaking not just some but most code, on the other hand?

I'm sure Python 2.7 broke compatibility, but you don't see people refusing to upgrade from 2.6 ten years after its release.

You have to go beyond this kind of limited view. A new OS which has momentum anywhere is an opportunity to weaken the chains of monopoly everywhere.

You totally miss the point. The problem is never about China's "endless cheap junk". It is about the rising economic / technology / military power of this authoritarian state, which is a threat to the whole world.
Can you point to any law or regulation in, say, the USA that requires this, regardless of whether it is enforced or not?
The UI is often a good way to quick get things done. Terraform requires a bit more investment, but has a huge payoff in the long run.

Personally, I think staging/production is the greatest advantage. I can experiment and break things on staging, then when I apply the plan to production I can be confident I’m getting the same infrastructure.

Infrastructure-as-code brings many programming amenities. You can write comments. You can easily see what a resource depends on and you can grep the repository to see what depends on it. You can version control it, which gives you a record of who changed what and possibly why. You can do code reviews.

It does take more time then clicking through a UI, but I can’t imagine operating all but the smallest infrastructure without Terraform or similar.

I can't speak for the commenter, but it could be a simple yet rigorous heuristic of seeing a particular buzzword used in certain conversations, reading the context statement that the buzzword is employed under, and matching that statement to a particular ideological narrative that is often prevalent in discussion circles such as HN.
Even assuming that genetics have absolutely no role in success (a bit unlikely I think), culture is a real thing. Plenty of people will admit they had a huge advantage because their family discussed finance at the dinner table when they grew up, or growing up the child of a business owner.

It's hard to imagine there being no negative side effects to the successful portion of the population shrinking at a faster rate.

Of course the world can currently sell its tech to China. And it does.
Unless you literally don't believe the raw numbers coming from sensors all over the world there is no room for doubting that the climate is changing.

There can, and has been, plenty of discussion as to the reasons, but for at least thirty years now the consensus has been that human activity is responsible for the vast majority of the effects we've seen.

Sure. The original security bug was lines 31-32, but the new patch referring to the parent directory is a variation of line 30, untouched here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=210509&action=diff

CWD is far worse a risk, because it changes every time the command is run. By comparison it could be assumed that a secure install of the software is in a trusted location, and this just gets the parent root of that location. Of course, it’s better if it’s documented, but I see no difference between this and $JAVA_HOME’s approach of ./bin, ./share, etc. It could be argued this is better—no environment variables can override the default. If you install the app to /tmp/bin that’s your own fault...
Why do you think that the concode was unsafe? It had a single crash in over 25-years of operation, and that crash was due to runway FOD. That makes it probably the single safest passenger aircraft ever brought to service. In fact, it is probably one of the single safest forms of transportation ever.

The concord was involved in single accident resulting in death or injury, which was not due to a fault of its own.
Oei, call me dany coz I cant count.
um, "climate changing" is uncontroversial. the question that science is trying to answer, is "why". one hypothesis being fossil fuel emissions. you will note even the IPCC does't claim to have a definitive answer. yet a bunch of programmers and entrepreneurs on HN have no doubts.

Japan is an extroardinarily unique place. Even Australia, NZ, the UK and America have not just lot in common when you compare them to Japan, but a surprisingly lot. Japan really does have its own culture and identity.

The Japanese have always wanted to protect their culture, identity, and economy, going back to where n Perry shot off a cannon to get them to open up the West's plans.

As a foreigner who loves Japan, I think there is a stretch between letting particularly interested individuals enjoy to the country--which is already possible--and opening itself up economic migration--which is what Western countries now experience.

Look at Singapore. It's such a god damn hell compared to Japan even though on paper they should be doing better.

There is really no other place like Japan on earth, it will be sad to see it homogenize with the rest of it.

Of course there's a difference, but it's irrelevant here, because no matter how long breaking changes have been announced, they break existing code. I prefer a versioning scheme that signals this.
The software isn't finished if the runtime it runs on has been EOL'd.

dstat, up until earlier this year (a couple weeks before that announcement), did not support Python 3 - and the author may have just merged RedHat's changes anyways. RedHat's "fork" supported Python3 for months at that point.

Yes, it was a useful tool, and what RedHat did was shitty but I can understand the motivation for not wanting to keep a Python2 install around just for one tool.
