The only reason you don't despair is because you do not truly believe what the future holds. At a fundamental level you believe this is all bullshit. And with you, I of course mean us, us generally.

Ask HN: What’s the legality of web scraping?
I teach machine learning applications to masters students. Many students ask me whether it’s legally OK to scrape websites without using an API and use the data for their projects for my course. I usually just direct them to use APIs with authentication or use tabular datasets on Kaggle, data.world, etc., because I’m not a lawyer and I don’t know the legality of web scraping. The most relevant article I know is from EFF (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/04/scraping-just-automated-access-and-everyone-does-it) but it’s more than a year old.

Can anyone who knows the law please guide me on this issue? Note that the concern is less about what’s ethical and more about what’s legal. This will also help me in my research because these days some reviewers are raising this concern when they see authors used web scraped data. Online there are a ton of opinion pieces but nobody is clear on the legal side of it. Mostly people oppose scraping because they think it’s unethical.
I've worked at two startups that used .NET.

But, yeah, as other posters have mentioned, it comes down to budget. In the past .NET was expensive to use and created a lot of vendor lock-in. That's currently changing and I imagine you'll see more startups using .NET in the future.
It's slow and closed source. Not being pedantic, it is just super stagnant compared to open source platforms.
It has only been open source for a relative short amount of time when compared with other technologies like Node, RoR, etc.

.Net has historically cost money while providing somewhat similar features as open source competitors. Its why MS was forced into open sourcing it. They could not compete anymore.
I have to dispute this. A few months is sufficient to appreciate the stated concerns. A lot can happen in a few months. I am proof of the same. I think under two months is too short, however.
Yes, all those Macbook Pros that operate at the limits of their thermal system start venting like crazy when using Firefox. I prefer it so much more over all other browsers, but this drove me to using Safari almost all the time.
> Is the only reason to create a startup to experience exponential growth and get really rich and have your own stock symbol?

The answer is yes, if your working definition of entrepreneurship agrees with the one used by Lori Greiner: ‘Entrepreneurs are the only people who will work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 hours a week [like everyone else]’.

People who believe in putting in twice the effort to reap exponential growth rather than (the less exciting) organic growth do so under the assumption that they can compress time.

For tasks that are amenable to time compression like running a startup, the only reliable way to compress time is to increase the number of man hours spent tackling the (perceived) opportunity, which of course means hiring people as fast as your war chest permits.

And because the size of your war chest determines the number of people you can hire per week or per month to allow you attain exponential growth, it is no surprise that a lot of founders seek out VC funding.

"There are a number of features related to lambdas that are present in other APL interpreters but that are NOT implemented in GNU APL. This includes multiple statements, guards, lexical scoping, and probably more. "

The absence of lexical scope is a big wart for me. I'm fairly familiar with J, having used it to do some Bayesian inference for some projects at work, and I eventually concluded that the language family is malformed, in part because of the absence of lexical scoping.

Seems like Dyalog APL does have this feature, which makes me want to take a look at it.

Real truth, I'm afraid, is disappearing, and there's no way to get it back. It's funny: We've always seen the eventual abilities of computer processed images (their eventually being indistinguishable from reality) as an absolute endpoint to the progress made in hardware and software over the years, but this threat of deep fakes seems to have surprised the lot of us.
Anything that involves halting CO2 emissions is not something that “could be done” anytime soon except in theory. Coordinating at that scale across the globe will simply never happen, and the sooner we admit it the sooner we can move on to figure out how to deal with it not happening.

CO2 emissions will reduce to the extent that alternatives become cheaper, better and more convenient. And while that’s moving forward it won’t happen fast enough to prevent the problem from getting worse in the mean time.

So let’s stop kidding ourselves and prepare for what’s coming, both in terms of dealing with the consequences and finding ways to counteract the effects of ongoing fossil fuel usage.

StackOverflow being a prime counter-example...
Yes! Part of what an abstraction /API should do is to map the difficulties of the actual physical/electrical problem to the language. Arguing then that the language makes things too hard is missing the point... the difficulty of generically mapping gates and routes and clocks is hard and that has been exposed to you as LUTs and flip-flops and wires and clocks in something that looks like a programming language with a compiler that still sometimes fails to make implementations fit into the FPGA structure.

That some difficulties are hidden doesn't mean they are easy. Unless you have at least a proposed solution (language, compiler, architecture, ASIC) that lets people solve similar problems to the FPGA tool chain, it's just complaining.
That's true. But it's still valid HTML. It's most definitely not a fork of anything.

A lot of features aren’t present in AMP, so often I don’t want the AMP version. Sure, at some point AMP can implement all those things, but eventually AMP just becomes a parallel HTML standard, when the only speed benefit comes from caching. It makes no sense to anyone but Google.

Wow! I rarely openly disagree with strangers on the internet but wow! I am currently focused on improving diversity and inclusion within my teams and the diversity of thought, approaches and outcomes that are a direct result of this effort are a delight. Progress may not always be in the right direction or slower than one expects but zigging and zagging towards the right thing is a reward in its own.
A very large amount of that fossil fuel was deposited during a period when plants could not be broken down successfully but microorganisms. In the current world much more of the carbon taken into a tree is released back into the atmosphere than presently.

That is: the original deposits were a process over millions of years, but the flow between stocks of carbon no longer behave as they used to. Whereas the stock of living and dead plants used to both remove carbon from the atmosphere, this no longer really the case.

If nothing else, I think Amazon or Google is more of a contender for East India Co 2.0, given their diverse product offerings :)

Facebook is not diversified (hence their frantic pivot to "crypto"). Amazon has a wide array of offerings. And Google is often painted as "just an advertising company" but Gsuite and Google Cloud are two independent revenue streams that don't rely on ads.

I'm a Linux guy - but have to say .net core has impressed me.

Going back to the question - certainly in the UK it is massively popular. The company i'm at now is mainly .net, but moving to .net core, probably a majority of jobs in my area are using some flavour.

To some extent I think old school .net is holding it back. Core however will get a lot of traction, nobody wants to pay the Windows tax when they don't need to.

Wouldn't be too sure about that. Even if the more recognizable names all boycott amp4mail, somebody somewhere is bound to decide implementing it as a client or a plugin to a client is a fun/useful project, and will do it. Or Google itself may do it just to push AMP some more.

The benefit of not having addresses collide. I mean, that's the whole point of assigning globally unique addresses?

When you connect some previously unconnected networks (a merger, or simply access for some sort of cooperation, or for maintenance access, or whatever), it's a nightmare with RFC1918 when address ranges overlap, which they invariably do. If you use globally unique addresses, you can be sure that there will be no problem.

When you debug something, you don't have to figure out what maps to what where in the network. When two machines talk to each other, the packets are labeled with the IP addresses of those two machines and the ports they are using, no matter where in the network you investigate. No matter who writes a log file about some operation happening in the network, all of those log entries are labeled with the same, uniquely identifying addresses.

And on the other side, there is still exactly zero benefit to using ambiguous adresses.
Don't want to start a flame war, but there's nothing factual correct about what you just said - except for the open source activity around .NET (if that's what you meant by 'stagnant')

Donald Knuth is 81 (10000 in ternary) and he still codes for research all the time. My understanding is that Spolsky’s job at Microsoft, which was his first job, was to spec out the then nascent macro language for Excel, he wasn’t a programmer himself, perhaps ever professionally. He does have a lot of opinions on what a great programmer should look like, and isn’t too shy to share them.

It seems that your interpretation of her quote doesn't match Greiner's own interpretation. I think the point she's making is simply that entrepreneurs are willing to work more hours on their own business to avoid working for someone else. Whether the business grows exponentially or organically doesn't matter.

I also didn't quite follow your interpretation, why does avoiding working 40 hours a week lead to spending more man hours to pursue an opportunity? (edit: thanks for explaining)

Crapware is orthogonal to the Windows licence - if Linux had become popular with the general public then OEMs would have been just as happy to bundle crapware with their Linux boxes.

You're right that all OEMs pass the Windows licencing fee onto consumers, but consumers then respond by buying fewer computers, so it's still a hit to OEM profit.

Photoshop is more than 30 years old. And in three decades, the impact of manipulated images on people's reputations hasn't been quite as devastating as people once feared.

Why won't it be the same this time? It's much easier to fool a human than to fool tools designed to detect manipulation, and that's limited fake photos' impact severely. As long as we have ways to detect fakes, and media responsible enough to do the cursory investigation required to verify authenticity, I don't see why manipulated videos poses any greater risk than manipulated photos.

Now there are some paid languages like Wolfram Mathematica, Allegro Common Lisp, Lispworks Common Lisp, Delphi Pascal, Dyalog APL, IBM Fortran and some languages with paid tools like Visual Studio for .NET and the Ultimate Jetbrains IDEA IDE for Java/Kotlin/Scala. Clojure has the paid "Cursive" IDE to go with the Jetbrains IDE. However, you can use other Free IDEs to go with most paid tools (Ex: you can use several alternative IDEs for C# and Emacs for Clojure). Also, the "paid" languages are fairly niche in comparison to the free ones at the top. How many people do you know writing Dyalog APL, IBM Fortran, Delphi, and Lisp works programs? How many people do you know writing C#, JavaScript, Java, C, and Python?

If we're just talking about software in general, then yes there is a TON of expensive and closed source programs and I don't expect that to change anytime soon.

None of the assertions made here are true. .NET Core is very, very fast, open sourced and is definitely not stagnant.
I think there's a good chance for any company paying a developer to write something that a good chunk of their software includes free and open source stuff,especially if you include cloud resources. Even Azure is pretty heavy on Linux, and other Microsoft technologies have gone free (if not also open source) in an effort to retain mindshare. Java is free, C# is free, eclipse is free, many, many libraries and tools are free.

At this point its probably easier to list the non-free things in the average stack or development pipeline than the free things.

1) As others have mentioned, .NET has a legacy of being expensive and closed, even if that isn't really true anymore.

2) .NET isn't really taught in college classes, and a lot of startup devs come more or less right out of college, using whatever stuff they learned as a basis.

3) .NET isn't sexy in a cultural sense. It doesn't have a shiny new flavor of the week framework, compiler, library, or whatever for everyone to trot out every 6 months and brag about on their resume.

4) .NET has the perception of being a "big business" framework, rather than something you use to bang out a scrappy MVP. Scrappy MVP is where a lot of startups... start, so the impetus is to use whatever tool flavor of the day will get you to customer #1 the fastest.
