> Does China gain an advantage, by not using / having access to the same services that the whole rest of the world uses?

Of course. Back 15 years ago, no one was developing any serious systems in China, US companies obviously refused to take any real tech to China from day one, what they offer was just some local sales/support jobs, on top of that, you might see a few app dev jobs which are always kept arm's length distance from the know how. By developing all those Chinese domestic services, local developers got the chance to actually working on some state of the art techs.
Sorry to hear you're brainwashed by Putin's propaganda.

I don’t really see what the problem is.

I saw someone on twitter had their name as d:\avid or something then a few weeks later someone else I followed changed their name to c:\hris or something - it is a bit cheesy but not something to put on hn in some sort of attempt to embarrass someone.

Have they tried reaching out to the poster and asking them to remove it if they are upset by it?
Can't say that the screenshot made me feel at peace. It seems like a sweet spot for non newb usages.
The very use of the word "dysgenic" wrt human populations is a form of virtue signaling that is far from unknown to internet circles such as HN. The comment might have been overzealous about rebutting a perceived narrative, but that statement is a basis for that narrative.

there has been plenty of genuine scepticism from within the scientific community (as there should be). what has happened is that it has become politicized such that the science is suffering for fear of being labeled a heretic. much of the research is published via the intergovernmental panel on climate change; well it's right there in the title. none of this is to say that there aren't also entities pushing propaganda (exxon, etc)
I'm trying to be very specific in not arguing about the merits of the program but in how the change was implemented and what that means. You made promises to these people and now you're breaking them (assuming you're an American, as the government acts on your behalf). You can choose not to make the promises again in the future, but that's totally different. I'm not opining on the merits of the decision but in how it was made, and that's equally important if not more so.

Just to address some misinformation -- again without opining -- I don't think the H-1B program has a $60K minimum wage as you assert. The program requires your employer pay you at least the prevailing wage for your job in the geographical area. This information is maintained by the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration National Prevailing Wage Center (DOLETA NPWC), I kid you not. A prospective employer of an H-1B worker is required to file an LCA (labor conditions application) with the Department of Labor showing that they are paying at least the prevailing wage. The form is here [1].

Frankly if you search [2] you'll see a software developer would need to be paid between $95K and $175K in San Francisco depending on seniority. Sounds about right, tbh.

> Usually, if a non-looping subways hit EOL, there will be a sweep and a rest period.

Generally this is a short rest period, ~ 10-15 minutes max during peak times and 30 minutes max otherwise. Nobody's kicking you off, you can just wait until the train starts back the other way.

It's also generally the least busy part of the line.

There is some nuance here that the author misses. Goto jumps to a location in program text. Other techniques, like (single shot) continuations, jump to program state. The former is dangerous. Not just because you can write spaghetti code, which was the original critique against goto, but because you can make jumps that have no meaning. For example, you can jump to a location that has not been initialised yet. With continuations you can still write complicated control flow, but you can only make jumps that are meaningful.

So I argue the issue is not with goto per se, it is with the lack of better tools provided by the languages in question to express complicated control flow. Like many things in programming languages, better tools are well studied but not available in most mainstream languages, which are stuck in ~1980s paradigm.
The more people involved the greater the chance to get caught.

It's also a bad idea. Semver doesn't distinguish between removing an API that has been deprecated for a decade and Python 2->3. Or, for that matter, between removing one function and removing large parts of the standard library.
Apparently that didn't come into effect until 1998, and wasn't even proposed until 1986: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_on_Blinding_Laser_Wea... The Falklands War was in 1982.

Though maybe general principles would reject any weapon principally designed to maim? That leaves a lot of grey area so understandable that it might need to be spelled out explicitly.
That only really affects the amount you'd need to pay to hire people. It doesn't change how hard it would be to sabotage the infrastructure.
Invention that improves a manufacturing process is not the same as inventing the entire product category, which has existed for literally thousands of years.

It really amounts to claiming to have invented the entire field of metalworking, when all that's invented is the casting process, whereas everyone was using forging techniques before then.

> For point 2, even in legitimate cases where someone has keeled over, you get death stares.

And with good reason, because that is not a legitimate case. It is displayed on signs on many routes that the emergency services can best help/reach you on the platforms. Pulling the emergency brakes in the tunnel is actually counter productive if someone keels over.
My comment from yesterday applies here as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19978973

Specifically, I found the "distrustful of everyone to the point of paranoia"-part is really pervasive. I'm not trying to upset anyone here, but it's one of those things that's hard to notice unless you have a different perspective (e.g. you're a foreigners, have lived abroad, etc.)

A lot of the British seem pretty okay with it shrug
Regarding 5, emergency brakes in London won't stop the train in the tunnel. They just send a signal to the driver to wait at the next station and inform staff at that station and/or emergency services.

Pulling the emergency brake therefore isn't necessarily a bad idea. If someone has fallen ill on the train (esp. common in summer), it's the best way to ensure that help will be available as soon as possible.

As you said, evacuating trains in the tunnel is dangerous so it's only done if trains physically can't move to the station (e.g. another train blocks the tracks). And even then, evacuation is only done after electricity has been switched off via the end of the train.
US emissions have declined about 15% in absolute terms since the early 2000s. That’s a billion tons less per year. Unfortunately China added about 10 billion tons a year in the same period so it didn’t help very much.
BioRender: Tool to help scientists create and share scientific figures
I've had this happen to me on a highway near Alkmaar (A9), very annoying and super dangerous, in a car just as much as in a plane. The scariest bit is that is pretty much the exact path the planes take to land at Schiphol airport and I figured maybe the person that did that was bored with trying to hit aircraft and then pointed at the highway instead.
I've always heard never to use the emergency brakes for a medical emergency because then you'd just stop the train in the middle of a tunnel and greatly delay responses.
The battery is replaceable, not sure that it's a big concern. I'd kill to see open documented bindings for wireless interaction, as well as the ability to write custom synth engines, but really doesn't appear to be the direction for them.

I wrote it in the other comments, but emergency brakes on London tubes are not brakes, they just alert the driver. It therefore is a legitimate way to inform the driver of any unusual activity that warrants a longer stop at the next station.

This is extremely common at major bars in most states in the US, especially if you're anywhere near a college. It's there to detect fakes. I'd imagine fake IDs are a much larger problem in the US, however, given that the drinking age is 21.

That said, at least years ago, the ID scanners would operate on data stored on the card and not make any network connection to a database. So then more expensive fake IDs began to exist that could scan fine. Then, I think some bars started getting more expensive ID scanners which actually do talk to some database.

> Adder AA; A=AA.Add(B,C)

Did anyone actually ever do that or is this just a huge red herring?

Also, the above looks more like a data flow language where adders are necessarily components in the wiring diagram (try building a CPU without adders!).

Add can be a virtual method on B (so B.add(C)), but then you really want Dylan-esque multidispatch on both B and C. But those kind of debates fell out of style with the 90s.
I can see how the original CVE patch removed using the current working directory for loading plugins, but it seems like less of a security issue to simply look up one directory relative to the current binary install, assuming the binary is stored in ./bin after being built and plugins would be stored in ./shared ... Now, it might be inconsiderate to look up a folder when one could be preconfigured based on a common root or home folder, but it doesn’t necessarily seem as bad to trust the parent folder of a binary as trusting the current working directory’s contents?

Almost every one of your posts here is to refute climate change.

Someone could be forgiven for thinking you have an interest in fossil fuels.

Edit: I see from your CV that you have a history of working with the fossil fuel industry - specifically, Exxon in Calgary in the early 80’s. I think it’s safe to disregard anything you have to say on the topic.

You're just restating my question above in a way that has the side effect of annoying me.
Multiculturalism feels more like monoculture where people have different visual features. But "multi" part ends at that.

The true multiculturalism would be to embrace different cultures to stay different. Rather than mix to become a single homogeneous global culture. The easiest way to that would be ensuring self-governance for each culture. Which is easiest by ensuring each culture has it's own state. To have it's own state, it'd be easiest for each culture to live separately geographically.
You only have to put the static content in the public repo which is no different, visibility-wise, than it is going to be anyway. So who cares?

When you get more experienced most of these things make me laugh or cry (depending on the siuation); it does not matter what companies like FB, Google do; people on HN or Reddit will take it and do it to the extreme: we now ‘need to’ use React for everything; if it does not fit, just beat it with a hammer until it does. Kubernetes and microservices must be used for every tiny little part if the app even if it causes a lot more overhead in performance/memory use (computers are cheap and fast!) or debugging. Abstract almost everything! (Java + OOP, Javascript and the npm mess) to Abstract almost nothing! (Go w/o generics), Make everything reusable (left-pad), Rewrite everything in JS!, Rust!, Go! etc etc. Everyone is running after eachother and doing it more extreme and the end result is just as shit as if you would not have done that at all and just thought about it bit before opening some IDE and codegenerate you million lines of boilerplate with the instable and slow framework-du-jour. As an older coder I sigh when a codebase is taken out of the ‘mothballs’ even 6-12 months after creation and people cannot get it running because everything they used is outdated because the framework and library authors move fast and break everything all the time. And ofcourse it is in an outdated language / framework(Ruby on Rails is soooo pase) so noone knows anything , it uses the 358 most popular DSLs (350 unmaintained since january) at the time so unless you drank the same coolaid it is a nightmare spelonking adventure.

At least Dijkstra had sound mathematical reasoning for his arguments and wrote about them eloquently (and with good humor I may add); most of what is peddled in the hipster coding circles is a smooth talk by a gifted social media frontman that has no solid basis in anything besides that the person is popular. I do not even understand how people dare to put their name on complete messes like npm or one line npm packages unless it is a joke. I assume things like leftpad are in fact a joke; if they are not I would have to cry myself to sleep every night. So I just lie and say it is funny.

Only when someone codes something without any of that and it gets popular or makes a lot of money, people come with ‘it was best for this occassion’. The best example I can think off being anything Arther Whitney (k/kbd+) does; his softare makes a ton of money, it is faster, smaller and, in my opinion, easier to debug and uses less resources than most things I have ever seen passing here (including what people call embedded; no people, something with a gig of memory is not emdedded) and yet it pukes over almost all rules and styleguides that everyone loves so much. Not to mention: he does something a lot of programmers are jealous off (including me); he makes money with a programming language and is always used here as a counter example when people shout that programming languages that are not opensource and/or are commercial (even very costly) do not work.

I wanted to write one sentence; it became slightly more, but I guess most of it is on topic.
Because the USA is failing to act on climate change (and join Paris), neither should the rest of the world? Then we can certainly abandon hope right now.

> Modules in the standard library are generally favored and seen as the de-facto solution for a problem. A majority of users only pick 3rd party modules to replace a stdlib module, when they have a compelling reason, e.g. lxml instead of xml. The removal of an unmaintained stdlib module increases the chances of a community contributed module to become widely used.

Developers don't have a compelling reason to use 3rd party modules instead of the standard library. Therefore they don't. You consider that a problem and want to encourage them to use 3rd party modules more.

In short, you want developers to use 3rd party libraries because there is no compelling reason to do so?

> A lean and mean standard library benefits platforms with limited resources like devices with just a few hundred kilobyte of storage (e.g. BBC Micro:bit). Python on mobile platforms like BeeWare or WebAssembly (e.g. pyodide) also benefit from reduced download size.

That's a silly reason. Just make a separate distribution with a stripped down standard library.
