The exact logical misstep made in this article is at the point where it is somehow assumed that saying a single solution is wrong (in this case by calling it an antipattern) is only done because someone believes a single solution is right (by calling it a pattern).

This is completely fallacious, as there may be many commonly executed good and bad solutions. We would just like to differentiate between which ones nearly always lead to dramatic costs later, and which ones nearly always lead to low costs later.

I started out as a kid with DOS, somehow skipping win 3.11 and then pretty much everything from win 95 to XP. Then I started using Linux in parallel ca. 2003. Before that I only took a couple curious looks.

Started out with kde3, switched to gnome 2, and as those two evolved found myself longing for simpler and snappier solutions. Windows was evolving relatively slowly but even there you'd always lose one or two things every time you upgraded. On Linux this was much more radical. Not just the desktop but also the stuff under the hood.

Today I just prefer the minimal version of most things I use and do daily. i3 does the job for window management. Vim with as little plugins as possible for scripting and coding (as long as it's not Java or c++ with qt). Since eventually my favorite plugin will stop working as it's unmaintained, or the file manager will get an overhaul and look different and have all its keyboard shortcuts changed. The less stuff I depend on the better.
The article I posted does appear to be wrong.

That said, it does not mean that it is normal either.

There appears to be a cluster of temps over 50 recently, but before that you seemingly have to go back to 1956 to get over 50 degrees. I could be wrong again however. If someone has better data, I'd like it if they could link to it.
If this happens frequently enough in sufficiently populated areas, then the resulting population die-off will eventually reduce the energy need and resulting carbon outlet and things may stabilize.

Sucks for the people involved. But globally speaking, it may not be so bad.
For acceleration, the best idea I've seen is using a laser on Earth, a mirror on the ship, and another mirror on Earth. The more bounces, the higher efficiency.

Back when they originally came out, I'm sure you'll recall that the operator was basically looking at a high resolution nude image of the person being scanned. The false positives came when people protested and they changed the display to a pixelated cartoon that shows "suspicious" areas as illuminated squares that need to be patted down by a human.
There is no specific difference between compile-time and run-time (regular) computing when it comes to testing and documenting it.

As for learning something new, perl6 is a new language, this construct isn't in perl5, so they are in for a learning. In Lisp no language modification was required to enable this functionality in the first place, and so you do not have to learn any new language or language construct.

Yes, you have to learn the library that you or somebody else writes to enable this "enter the data in the safest way possible". But that is learning a library, not a new language, or language evolution.

It goes back to object-oriented programming. How badly did they hack up C compilers to implement either C++ or Objective-C? In Lisp the OO system used to this day was implemented as a compile-time library. A library still used today, too.

You don't have to wait for anybody to hack up the compiler, and test it, and document it, when compile-time computing is part of the language in the first place.

ETA: Another thing you can do with compile-time computing, without waiting for somebody to hack up the compiler:

We can probably help. Vary is usually intended to shard the cache based on parts of the request. You can do the same with the cache API - modify the cache key (quite similar to the example for caching the POST request (https://workers.cloudflare.com/docs/reference/workers-concep...), as you modify cache key to match the POST body).
Chrome already banned adblocking on mobile, since many years. Interesting (but good!) that this relatively minor api change now gets even mainstream media to barricades.
I find parts of your post quite offensive, to be honest, but let's have a debate anyway.

The way I see it is that my (and other's) interests are not aligned with yours.

You want a web that evolves quickly, I want a web that is not a constantly moving target.

You want one web engine implementation to rule them all, I want an open web where standards are respected, not constantly changed by a single conflicted (as in conflict of interests) actor, where multiple implementations can thrive and where users can still expect every website to work independently of the user agent they use.

Is this enough for intellectual rigour?
What's "awful" and "damaging" about outing whores?

Let's be clear, when you look at the technical, chromium is a far superior browser. Chromium has far more active devs, far more features (look at caniuse.com) and has almost systematically better performance.

I use firefox for speed reasons and only use chrome when I'm forced to. Chrome opens up 20 small processes firefox used to open one main thread now a dozen.

Not sure what is being measured in the technical tests you mention but in userland firefox has a lot of support for those of us still on windows 7.
I'm not sure I understand the GDPR argument here. Is collecting the facial information from actors and actresses in porn movies illegal? Or was it the access of their social media accounts? Why is the tallying of what is publicly consumable a violation of GDPR?
It's near impossible to objectively measure anything when it comes to programming as projects are neither repeatable nor comparable and test subjects are never blank slates.

I have read quite a few studies, and I always come away thinking that the methods used are inadequate to support any conclusions at all.

But does that mean there is no causal effect of programming language choice? I don't know and I'm not making any claims either way.

I was talking about abstraction in one person's mind vs abstraction shared between a group a people. And what I said could actually be the reason why the choice of programming language has little effect (if that is the case)

It is just anecdotal as opinions in India change every few kilometres.

However, the Indian Government has made its stance clear on Climate Change: https://www.undp.org/content/dam/india/docs/undp_climate_cha...

and: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-natio...

> The claim was basically that it was always very warm, and it is just normal that way, and they don't expect it to become much warmer

I think they might have misunderstood you. They might have thought you are talking about weather and not climate change. Human body may not notice slight changes in temperature but the ecosystem does. For instance, those locals you spoke to may not have personally experienced any change but if you had instead asked them about droughts, drying of wells or yield of crops they would have definitely given you a totally different reply.
Generally, if you are male, no one is going to look on you with much sympathy if you express that you are in pain. Pity and contempt are the more likely outcomes. Stoicism is a tool that helps it to be a little easier to suck it up and drive on and do your job.
Honest question: would you buy a third party native Slack client?

I started an open source Slack client but was struggle to find tractions. Yes the Slack electron client is bad, I hate it with passion but it just works. And most of the users I surveyed think so too. Either they’re not using Slack at all, or they just don’t care if it’s electron/web-based/slow (Stockholm syndrome?).
The problem is that engineers are not always the ones in charge of the entire end result. If you want to do something unethical you can just split it up into harmless individual tasks and give it to a dozen engineers and then put it all together. It’s obfuscation.

Some of the greatest atrocities we will see in tech (and we will see them) in the coming century will be the result of combining things created with good intentions.

Not much we can do I’m afraid except endure.
I also gave an example of an equally silly software patent. Besides, I would not call different sorts of patents "completely unrelated". All of them have trolls, have been granted for silly and trivial things, and the system is completely broken. It´s bizarre enough that there are judges and lawyers who apparently think that "business logic" and "algorithms", as well as "mathematics" and "logic", are different entities that can be distinguished from each other...
It’s also just a nicer experience; let each audience install in the way that feels natural to them. And since binary releases are being built anyway, why make npm users wait on the Rust compiler.

We’re not the first to do this, by the way. This is how ripgrep is integrated into VS: Code, in my understanding.
If you care about null safety, why not just use Scala? I've programmed Scala professionally for a long time and have never ever experienced a null pointer exception.
Probably those people would install more air-conditioners and that would increase energy needs.

Why not? I just said "sufficient populated areas". That does not mean only India. Nothing racist about it. I mean, globally speaking, wiping out New York City and all the people in it would also provide a benefit.
Yes that works with one person-person engagement, not when an entire entire locality covered is threatened by a political party. All this and more has actually happened in the hundreds of elections in India since democracy was established leading to the multitude of checks and balances in the process

> For instance, Safari doesn't allow localstorage while in incognito.

Isn't that good for privacy? Localstorage can store unique IDs and other data about the client's past behavior, it's much more dangerous than cookies.
Why would a grade school not have parent accounts for their PowerSchool system?
Curious to know if anyone would know why a school would not support parent accounts for their PowerSchool system. Could this be driven by either Pearson's pricing structure or GDPR concerns?
Makes sense, thanks for the link it led me to `Esperanto`, it's much more popular than I had expected - I'm really interested in how easy it would be to learn.

Are you one of these hobbyists? If so I'd be intrigued to see any work you have done.
Not sure I'm seeing the 'proof' there. By what mechanism do these two codes prove anything much?

If the 'real' code shows one thing and the 'fake' codes another what assurance do you have that the counting was done with your 'real' code and the voting machine didn't put another one in there?
Have you read Seneca's letters? I can't think of anything more straightforward and applicable.

Live simply, don't value external things, have principles and stand behind them, think in term of "long term happiness" not "short term joys", be nice to your fellow humans, being rich in material things is nice but not sufficient while having virtues, knowledge and a strong community is necessary. It really isn't rocket science, especially compared to other/newer philosophical movements.

It's life, no one is going to hold your hand and lead you to your happy place. Educate yourself, read the masters, follow the ones that seems aligned to your beliefs and move on if you find something better.

While I agree that engineers should negotiate better and keep track of their achievements, that is not one at all.
> Almost everybody seems to consider chromium in the debate as a proprietary software owned by Google.

Yes, because Chromium is owned by Google and uses its own Web services and binaries. See “Ungoogled Chromium”, which was on HN homepage a couple weeks ago: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium#motivation-and...
Or just didn't get voted upon at all.
Scrolling through the posts I haven't seen any non-democracy focussed post. So let me add other options for digital voting that might be important:

Shareholders voting for trust of the board (not sure how to say this in English). These votes are usually influenced by who owns how much stock, so it's less about democracy and more about showing publicly that you have the support of the most influential stake holders.

Instead of an open source maintainer making a biased single-person decision how two branches should be merged or how a merge conflict should be resolved it could be done via voting.

Wether a transaction is accepted or not is voted on my distributed ledger participants, wether they know it or not. The moment you put your block on top of what you perceive as the ledgers top you vote for that previous block to be accepted.

Which picture is funny enough to get onto the front page of 9gag is voted on by the viewers.

Given incomplete data and a very short time till death doctors need to make decisions which procedure to apply to an emergency patient. This could be voted on given how many talents could be connected to a case in an instant digitally.

Which players should be matched together for a new round of Dota could be voted on digitally instead of leaving that completely to a digital choice algorithm.

It could be a way to lead humans and AI into a cooperative work environment. Having a few differently trained AIs and experts voting on which path to take with the business for instance.
Safari being faster on iOS might be more indicative of your iDevice's performance rather than Safari's (the A-series chips are quite fast). Without being able to run both browsers on the same hardware you can't really make an apples to apples comparison.
A simple, two-option system that allows for private vote verification:

Vote: 0 for Gore, 1 for Bush
Provide, in the polling booth: a random salt of either 0 or 1
Publish: vote XOR salt

Now, if you want to lie about what vote you cast, you also lie about the random salt. But you can always check for yourself.

Now, the issue becomes obvious - if someone can falsify votes, why can't they falsify salts as well? Less obviously, this is true of any verification system - abstractly, you can always count the vote one way, and "verify" it the other way. So what you have to do is have completely different possession chains for the vote roll and the salt roll. Make it so that at no point does any one person have access to all three of 1) the voter id, 2) the vote cast, and 3) the salt. This means that nobody has the required information, or access, to undetectably falsify a vote.

Extending this to handle more than two options, and making it easy enough to comprehend that the average voter won't get caught out if they try to lie, is left as an exercise for the reader. But it's possible.
This article reads to me like Boeing and the FAA have gotten their stories straight with each other and in naming names have settled upon someone who is no longer associated with either in an effort to take the heat off of both.
For me it's faster on mobile mostly since I can just install ublock origin so most pages load and execute much less crap.
Quite unfair comment if you consider that probably those affected are the ones emitting far less CO2 per capita, so it would be a non-existent feedback loop.
After the story I installed Firefox. I got it configured, and was happy to see that it's as good as Chrome. For now I'll keep using Chrome, but the moment the adblockers stop working, I'll be on Firefox.
You are thinking that GDPR is something logical and consistent, which is a mistake. In reality it's a cudgel that can be employed at whim.

As the antitrust investigation of Google progresses, they must find a fine line : get as much control as possible of the web while leaving enough margin for competition to avoid an antitrust ruling. That move to limit adblockers might be strategically required from Google at this point, and the fact that they might lose market share an expected result. They've already reached 70% market share, limiting adblockers will allow them to extract more value from their current users and also avoid becoming too obviously hegemonic.
I suppose a corollary of that is that Profiles are a poor substitute for Containers. And Containers largely match what I actually want to do, which is to have a shared history while being able to split out certain login (or cache) contexts, without needing a separate window.
What is the risk? Someone is going to watch me jerk off?

Serious question.
I'd rather use (and build for) any WebKit browser over Firefox, so I'm hoping Microsoft Edge does not implement the "Chrome extension manifest v3" and that they release Edge for Linux ASAP.

Aside from my feelings about the technical qualities of their products - Mozilla is clearly not more trustworthy than Google or Microsoft either since they put non-removable ads and tracking extensions directly into Firefox and lock developers out of their extension store for purely political reasons.
If nobody has access to all three pieces of information, including the voter, how can they verify their own vote?
>So the short answer is no, I can't name that company. Got a feeling it was something involving printing, or imaging.

Shame, I was hoping to avoid them. I do know where quite a few people I have worked with have worked previously, purely because this kind of thing can come up in discussion and my memory sometimes functions.

>I'm not even on the facebook.

Congratulations. I've managed to never be on it either.
Evidence of a nocebo response following a nationwide antidepressant drug switch
I work remotely. I'm a long distance trucker. I'm almost never at my home terminal. Very rarely at headquarters. Most of my work assignment, reporting and monitoring is done by the in-cab comms terminal, with occasional phone calls. I use a company card for fueling, and I'm reimbursed for some other expenses.

Remote work isn't necessarily computer work, and it isn't necessarily in your home.

People are mobile. What would actually happen would be the biggest refugee crisis the world has ever seen.

Imagine tens of millions of climate refugees at the border of many different countries, and the choice is to let them in and take care of them or let them die right there. It's not a good situation to be in.

Realistically speaking, with that many people, good luck keeping them out.
Good, they need to be. The scummiest of all organizations that somehow thinks they hold the moral high ground.

I believe Canada is building a case as well as I had to give some inputs along with few other startup founders.

Google bots banned and deleted with a suspension lasting the lifetime of the founders and anyone related to them because their bots decided that our apps were "infringing copyrights". Google's response to our appeal is to deploy our app "somewhere else" but there is no other marketplace!

People serve less time for murdering and Google kicking out developers for their entire life just because of their bots is absolutely disgusting behaviour.

I'm not sure that you disagree with parent. Parent is saying that these online relationships are not replacements for "real" relationships. I don't think you're advocating replacing "real" relationships with online relationships. If you were, then online relationships would be better for you, or more important to you, then that of your partner and son. You seem to say that it's still important for you to be "real" with your partner and son, and so I think you still identify with the need for "real" relationships. You just don't need it at the same volume/quantity as more extroverted people. Otherwise, the implication is that you would prefer online relationships over that with your partner and son, and you see your partner and son as simply obligations to which you do not wish to abdicate responsibility, presumably due to societal norms or something else.

Or is that in fact what you are saying? I suppose there are alternative explanations I haven't thought of either.
