resume: why go with an OO architecture, when you can use inmutable classes and never again repeat the same properties in your CSS files. In the end, you end up developing faster and you can mantain code easily without having to build the entire UI arquitecture in the CSS. CSS was created to separate style from the content, but also, because back then, HTML wasn't built like we do today with frameworks. Now that we use reactive HTML we can just print inline CSS, but that is a problem, so the functional CSS comes better.

This is certainly a well-known phenomenon, both on here and other similar websites. However, the subject matter is genuinely interesting (there’s a lot to be learned from the design of TempleOS and HolyC) and the linked blog post adds new content to the discussion instead of simply rehashing the argument. She does a great job of avoiding most of the controversy in both of the posts in the series, which can’t always be said for many of the other articles on this topic. The first couple of paragraphs probably weren’t necessary, but they did provide context for people who were unaware.

I find it deeply unfortunate that we can’t have a good discussion on the interesting technical aspects of Terry’s project as opposed to the man himself, especially since the post is about one particular technical feature.

That's a question of asset allocation. A well-diversified portfolio should have assets that produce income even when stock-trading isn't. (i.e. bonds, dividend-producing stocks.)

It's also crucial to understand that it takes time. Stocks are still doing well, were absolutely roaring for the past 10 years. This is a blip in a single investor's timeframe. You need to invest a percentage year in, year out. Through high markets and lows. Keep plowing that percentage in. Every great investor from Buffet to Bogle to Dalio will tell you this is a known formula for success. The 'current time' is irrelevant.

In every timeframe (even times of rising inflation, crashing stocks, etc.) there are assets that are appropriate. That's where education becomes important-- understanding what your levels of risk and comfort should play in allocating your assets.

Don't believe nobody will make money over any extended time period. Some people certainly will. Education can help you do well in many environments (including the current one. Many people are doing very well.)
> They share even their philosophical stance on code freedom

arguable.

BSD and commercial Unices used PCC and PCC derivitives for much of their history; by this token, GCC is the 'other woman', and this is itself ignoring the clear differences in philosophy between MIT/BSD and GPL licening
Yup. Works great for LDAP servers, too!
Many rich people, maybe most, inherited it. Presumably.

you mean being persecuted by over-bearing commercial unices?

I've researched all the major newspapers code. From 1996 to 2019 and all of them grew exponentially in size and complexity. It is how you state it: the arquitectures force developers to do bad code. Unmantainable (most devs change jobs, go and read 9k rules) and websites morph over the years carrying lots of legacy code because it takes too much time to fix everything. That's why functional is superior to everything. The problem: all devs are biased with the OO way. It's hard for them to see the benefits.

That's their problem. Refusing to sell your product is probably not the best long-term business strategy. If they want revenue, the will eventually sell. The government already distorts the market in their favor by granting them an exclusive copyright. Those rights do not include being free from the market forces like supply & demand.

> anyone can record it in full HD with an app on their TV

Why would anybody do that, when its easier to just download a torrent? DRM doesn't stop piracy, because "stopping piracy" has always been the PR-excuse. DRM is an attempt to usurp property rights, with a manufacturer retaining control over your device after the first sale.

Adm. Strauss was talking to science writers.

From the field, writing to colleagues, C.G. Suits (GE's director of research at Washington's Hanford site - quoted in 'Power from the Atom - An Appraisal', Nucleonics, Feb. 1951) told a different story:

"At present, atomic power presents an exceptionally costly and inconvenient means of obtaining energy which can be extracted much more economically from conventional fuels.… This is expensive power, not cheap power as the public has been led to believe."

I also had a great experience with HA Proxy open source support. We had some sort of config problem when we enabled H2 (IIRC, maybe it was going to 1.8 from 1.7). I did a bunch of testing of it, documented what I found and where I found it acting funny, and posted to the haproxy mailing list. A dev replied with something like "Sounds like you have this config option set wrong". Problem solved!

We had bought a ton of Fortinet gear to firewall+load balance for us, but in the end could never quite get it deployed. I got the haproxy set up instead and it's been amazing!

Hong Kong’s Chief Executive is “elected from a restricted pool of candidates supportive of the Central Government by a 1200-member Election Committee“ [1]. The Election Committee is pro-Beijing and not a democratic body.

Hong Kong’s CE is better thought of as the CPC’s emissary to Hong Kong than as a true executive.

I'm sort of mixed on how easy Metal is. Having to support Objective-C and/or Swift as part of the build toolchain is sort of a headache and Metal actually isn't low-level enough for me to support a lot of the optimizations I can do in DX12/Vulkan and especially doesn't come close to console APIs (which you'd think should be possible given that they can specialize for their hardware). My feeling is that for driver APIs, it's ok for the API to be lower level since users (and other developers) generally won't need to deal with that anyways.
Mines along the DMZ are important because it prevents North Korea’s significant land army from crossing into the South. Without it Seoul is at significant risk.

Everyone points to the south’s modern weaponry and US backing as reasons why the DMZ mines are not needed. However the US had a significant tech advantage in the Korean War and almost lost completely (even before China entered the war). They were saved only by a daring beach landing in the Battle of Inchon.
Sure, you're right in that sense, thought I do not agree with the comparison to writing assembly.

The phrase "shifting away" from CSS is what I was addressing my initial comment towards, and I don't believe that using a paradigm on top of CSS would constitute a shift away from CSS... you're still using plenty of CSS rules whether you use styled-components, modules, SCSS, etc.
What is your first language?
CSS definitely can get in the way with far-distance effects in MVw apps. It tends to not being particularly representative of how you think about and modify the app during development, nor during maintenance. Though you still need media queries since you can't use these and eg :visited etc as inline styles. The reasoning behind this asymetry isn't entirely clear to me; it seems to be a syntactic accident.

Actually, I think CSS sucks at most things. Now CSS grid and flexbox are sold as solutions for long-standing layout deficiencies - and they undoubtly are a progress over grid frameworks using floats. But the real question is what is gained by pretending we're editing a hierarchical document (using HTML envisioned for casual academic publishing like it's 1999) when we layer a layout engine on top of it complicated enough to abstract that 1999s HTML into a grid and constraint-based layout? Why not just write markup representing that conceptual layout in the first place? We now have an enormous syntax proliferation of a markup language with an additional, redundant, and idiosyncratic item-value syntax (CSS) but still can't specify layout constraints in their more natural form as systems of inequalities.

> with a significantly less complicated code base

This is probably not true (because clang is in C++ it can't be less complicated than anything), and gcc is complicated in some parts because it uses much better algorithms (the LLVM register allocator is not as good as LRA). LLVM also has some very ugly DSLs like the .td files.

But GCC's codebase does have lots of added complexity from the extremely weird GNU coding style where they want you to pretend you're writing Lisp and all commits have to update a changelog file. Plus terrible GNU software like autotools and recursive make.
I haven't tracked the cellphone network status continuously, but here in Buenos Aires, I had a VoIP call from 8:30 to 9:00 which worked fine. Until it didn't, at about 9:00, but that's par for the course with fucking Movistar. I was using cellphone data because the power was out in the house. I didn't realize it was out in the entire country.

Here in Argentina, municipal water is totally reliable (I've never heard of a water service loss due to a power outage), but the pressure in the pipes is so low that every individual house has a pump to raise the water into a rooftop tank. These pumps are invariably electric and powered from either the grid or, on the frequent occasions that doesn't work, a generator. Municipal water typically has service losses a few times a year, but not due to blackouts.

Gas stoves are far more common in Argentina than electric stoves, although my apartment has an electric stove, which has a short which electrifies the stainless-steel surface of the stove when it's turned on. Most people in and near the capital run their gas stoves and on-demand hot-water heaters from public-utility natural gas, supplied by local monopolies (state-owned in some cases). Propane cylinders are common in less-populated areas and in houses where the gas piping has been disconnected from the public utility, usually due to billing disputes or safety concerns.

Over the last few years, the utilities have been sandbagging gas reconnections after disconnections due to safety concerns, often allowing them to leave unprofitable customers disconnected for years at a time once someone has called in a gas leak, while they wait for the government price controls (which have fallen far behind our absurd levels of inflation) to be loosened, making those customers' business profitable again. This has been a significant reason for new installations of electrical cooking and hot-water-heating appliances. A court recently ruled against this practice, and so gas reconnections have been sped up lately.

Uruguay has much less use of natural gas, for regulatory reasons: gas appliances can only be installed indoors if the room in which they are installed has a window to the outside that cannot be closed, thus removing the risk of explosions in the case of a gas leak. Consequently in Uruguay gas stoves are almost unheard of, and nearly all cooking is electric. Many hot-water heaters in Uruguay are still the gas-powered tankless type that is nearly universal in Argentina, though. They're just installed outdoors.

(Actually, I'm not sure if the above information about Uruguay applies outside of Montevideo.)

I hope this information is interesting to you!
> How about the software in the micro controllers in my car? Should I be allowed to modify that code too (if I mess up people could die)?

You're allowed to modify any other part of the car. Why should software be different?

> How about the software in my satellite internet radio transceiver (one rogue transceiver could take down the entire beam/jam the satellite)?

There can be some flexibility for the part of the code actually doing the transceiving.

Everything on top should be replaceable.

And radio is really a special case, because it's a shared commons that requires a lot of expertise and where one bad transmitter can cause problems for miles or more.

Ask HN: Desktop or Laptop with eGPU
I currently have a MacBook Pro, but I'm also thinking to get a Windows machine. My options are to either build a desktop or buy a laptop and a eGPU (probably Razer Core X). The benefit of the desktop is upgradability and performace; however it is not portable. If I get a laptop (probbably a ThinkPad) and an eGPU (with Radeon VII), i can also use the eGPU with my MacBook Pro. What would you reccomend?
Or break even if you have nothing to hide. If you put me under enough physiological stress, I'd probably say anything you want me to say to get me out of it. Different people probably have different tolerance, which is probably what they are actually testing.
If one aspires to this sort of leadership, then the hope is that person values freedom over both of those things.

Please allow me to add more details.

I have spent 9 years in the US. When I first came here, I was fed up with CCP's bs and thought the US and its system is the best. But now I have come to the conclusion that it is just as evil as the CCP, but in different ways. I think so because I have witnessed first hand about how insulting the Chinese is still acceptable [0] even in the PC culture (ppl still ask me if I eat dogs), how biased the mainstream media are, and how the democratic system here is full of flaws. More and more mainlanders are sharing my view, for better or for worse.

Also, it's not just "lose control to foreign organization". Based on the above reasons, we believe that the West is hostile towards Asia and will do everything to prevent any country in that area from growing up and challenge them. The US supports Korea, Japan and Taiwan just so it can put pressure on China, instead of actually caring about their people. Look, the HN crowd are still down-voting my post that complains about you mentioning Japan and I still can't think of why.

Yes, I understand that rights can only be obtained by earning instead of begging, and the Chinese-American community did a poor job to defend their rights. But until we have a memorial day for [1], I do not believe the Westerners care about our well-being at all.

As for your protest, this image of the flyer in [2] was circulating privately on our social media, and I have to say that one of the bullet points is really questionable, namely, collective punishment (do you have proof of this?). Even if all the other ones are true to some extent, this one is going to hurt your credibility a lot and push people away from you.

I am going to take a risk by quoting Chairman Mao's words: 政治就是，把支持我们的人搞的多多的，把反对我们的人搞得少少的！The number of people in the mainland who doesn't like CCP's actions is probably larger than you realized, but these people, by their nature, dislike liars in general. If HK want to win their support, then it really should make sure that their flyers/slogans are flawless and based on facts, and do not smell like the typical Western propaganda. I know this is putting the burden on you but hey this is not an easy task to begin with.

Keep up the good work!

Ideally Westerners are gaga for the freedom myth where the history of the freedom is that the Roman empire conquered tons of people and then adopted the freedom myths of the people they conquered as something to be lauded, despite the fact that those people were subdued and conquered. Mostly you either belong to one empire or another. It's too bad the British did not try to contest Hong Kong and maybe delay turning it over as long as possible until there was a cold war with China and then this empire could annex it.
> Rationality is continuous like everything else. You can be more or less rational

Philosophers and others distinguish different kinds of rationality – such as, theoretical rationality (rationality of one's beliefs) from practical rationality (rationality of one's actions). Instrumental rationality is the rationality of one's means given one's ends, which according to some philosophers (e.g. Humeans) exhausts practical rationality (putting one's choice of ends themselves beyond rational criticism), whereas others (e.g. Kantians, Thomists) believe that one's ends themselves can also be subject to rational judgement. Some philosophers want to reduce some of these types of rationality to others, something which other philosophers object to–on that topic see https://www.princeton.edu/~tkelly/erair.pdf

I don't really have an opinion on whether or to what extent Terry Davis was or wasn't rational. (I don't really feel qualified to have such an opinion, especially since I never knew him personally, and also since I lack knowledge and/or experience with his illness.) But it is interesting that people are throwing the word "rational" around without appearing to be familiar with the complexity of the debates about how to even define it.

I think this is conflating factual and rational. They are not mutually inclusive.

Although its a book on economics, Von Mesis's "Human Action" premise is that all human activity is necessarily 'rational' from the viewpoint of the actor. Moreover, the goal of "human activity" in general is to bring about a higher state of happiness. Even the refusal to perform an action, is in effect an 'action' who's goal is to increase happiness compared to the alternative.

A person who is convinced they are being hunted by aliens, so wraps their head in aluminum foil is behaving completely rational from their view (by increasing their happiness of not being tortured)...whether or not this is factual is a different issue.
