Surely what you state here can be said of any advice given due to experience. As long as the natural inclinations of younger developers push up against said advice, it's completely sane to give it. Because without it, young developers will have an incomplete mental model, and will lack the intellectual tools to potentially make better choices early in their career.

Also it seems to miss the point somewhat: choosing 'boring' technology has little to do with working on things that are unfulfilling. On the contrary, when tech stack choices are the thing from which developers derive their excitement from, in my view, it's often "empty calories" masking the lack of "emotional nutrition" they are getting from the problem they are solving or the users they are serving. For every whiz-bang neural network getting users to click on ads, there's a 'boring' embedded system running on an ancient C framework somewhere putting satellites in space. I'd rather work on the latter any day of the week.

As Hamming said, "if you're not working on the most important problem in your field, why not?"
They already did that with the Alphabet restructuring and spinning Waymo out from Google X into a top-level Alphabet company.

Alphabet is a technology conglomerate and doesn't pretend to be anything else. They're like GE or Berkshire Hathaway. There's no issue with GE making washing machines at the same time they make jet engines and nuclear reactors, or with Berkshire Hathaway providing insurance, rail freight, and chocolates. Similarly, there's no issue with Waymo and Google both being subsidiaries of Alphabet.
The U of M also offers free bee classes at the lab they mentioned:

Indeed other than the big ideas, it really did not age well at all, imo. I like the Elijah Bailey stories and lucky star stories more myself.
The same goes for a lot of EU to US travel I've been told...

If I remember correctly, they dredged out the area near the docks so the deeper water could allow the larger ships.
A green account, which as far as I can tell was created solely for the purpose of posting comments defending an industry well-known for hiring shills to muddy the waters on established science, should not be lecturing other people on HN norms.
The run times are seconds not micro-seconds.

How many seconds do you suppose startup time is for those tiny programs?

How many seconds do you suppose JIT is for those tiny programs?
If it is an unreleased feature, it should be in an unreleased separate non-production branch and/or removed automatically by build scripts.

The existence of a Google maps URL in the page makes your feature not working yet, but released and contributing cruft to an already troubled page.
Oh man, the WM-10!!

In junior high that walkman was THE status symbol. Anybody who had one was was considered super cool. A buddy of mine started stealing them from Best Buy and started a small black market in our school.
Or, to stimulate the competition somehow, to drive the price down for everyone.

I think your "visa" sugestion was a joke, but I'm afraid that the sarcastic nature may get lost and the message may be misinterpreted and taken on its face value.
But is Venice at such an optimized point? There are currently people who avoid it due to crowding, suggesting ample demand.

They may be able to, say, raise prices 50% and drop traffic only 20%.
By that standard, the REEs required for solar definitely aren't 100% clean.
It's kind of odd to call it the death of a city when the place is jammed with people, just because they are the wrong type of people. Bit like saying Ibiza is dead in the summer because it's packed with people visiting Ibiza.

Our Oriental Heritage: The Story of Civilization, Volume 1

by Will Durant

It's in the Internet Archive:

https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.61276/page/n15

The Story of Civilization is an 11-volume set of books[1], by the way.

Using {#if} or v-if or whatever feels even less natural -- especially when these template languages are hyped as being "logicless".
The title is a little misleading, as it's a region of China and not the entirety.

However, the implications are still ominous.

I'm curious, how did China develop into such a police state? Anyone able to point me to some reading on the subject?
Here is another approach to extract your books from their horrible proprietary and closed Kindle Cloud Reader. Fortunately someone reverse engineered the SQL based format [1].

You're right that it's more options, but it's also one more box a "competent JS dev" is expected to tick. One of the best and worst things about the JS ecosystem is the plethora of choices available.

On compilation, nope. Riot.js did it first, and this is literally the entire premise of typescript (I know typescript is a different language, but I see little difference here as it can mix with JS between writing only some stuff in TS).

You're right, they probably should have done it, and I'm excited to see it. But I also don't see why they couldn't have submitted a PR to react/angular/ember/meteor/vue.
I fear backlash from this comment, but is this a case against side-loading apps?
its false because opec exists and can, sometimes, keep price relatively stable. its possible/likely that if the USA had not produced so much oil via fracking the price would be much higher right now, because opec does not have so much ability to boost production as it used to.
There wasn't any sarcasm intended.
Alternatively, it's like calling Disneyworld a city. Lots of people there during the day, lots of people staying overnight, but not many people truly living there.
> The reason Waymo would be cancelled is simple: self-driving cars are far from a reality.

Everybody always says this unless they live in the Bay Area or Phoenix.

I see multiple self-driving cars per day, sometimes a couple waiting for each other at the same intersection. Self-driving cars have been a reality for me since 2013. The future's here, it's just unevenly distributed.
I was there around 2000, my wife was back there around 2012. I echo the comments nearby that going out for a walk at night, after the day tourists leave, allows you to imagine the city of the late middle ages that's familiar from novels and history. Venice had strong downsides -- there really were too many tourists, and I was there mainly for the Biennele -- but the visit was worth it for those nighttime walks.

Just be sure to pair it up with somewhere(s) else.
Yet many places around the world are un-visited which 1. you can visit and 2. are very cheap. We think Venice is a big deal because some ass-hat told us it is a big deal.

Carthage is 800 years older than Venice and to some extent it has a more interesting civilization. Tunisia also has significant Roman heritage. It's pretty close to Italy so the climate is quite a match but you can go and check the desert.

Here is another one: Egypt. Enjoy both the pharaoh and the islamic heritage.

Plenty of places to see that are reasonably safe. Bonus point: Probably the whole package will cost less than your daily life in your average developed country.
> Weren't they broadcast live?

Nope. Communications were split into multiple channels, all of which were monitored at the PAO, or Public Affairs Office console in mission control by a NASA official. It was deliberately designed so that the public only heard what NASA wanted them to hear.
SEO definitely puts a lot of pressure on people. Most guides these days talk about performance, and performance is directly linked with services such as CDN's.

But like you say, this can definitely be resolved through Web Servers and resource optimisation.

For WordPress blogs, OpenLiteSpeed has been a godsend to run a WP blog with up to par performance.
I'm not sure why they wouldn't be simple. Thunderbolt has a USB-C variant. Just get a USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter and keep it plugged in on the end at all times. You'll be in exactly the same situation you were in before and now future-proofed for other, newer Thunderbolt devices.
Demonstrated utility in special circumstances, but didn't realize revenue. Alphabet isn't a charity to my knowledge.
The US is forcing its tourists to give away a list of all their social media accounts and all their email accounts. If you're a foreign journalist writing pseudonymously for your safety, you must now share that information with the US government to enter the country. This isn't quite on the level of forcing people to install malware on their phone yet, but give it a couple years.
It's very likely we're doing something wrong with this test, but after many hours of trying we couldn't get our simple test to pass for Logstash, even though it passed for others:

Definitely open to feedback on what we're doing wrong.
Depending on where you are those spaces along highways are often available for farmers to use for heying... so while it flowers can can grow there, it's not a sure thing that they'll be there consistently depending on use.
That large open hole in the roof probably helps. See the video at 2:48.
I cannot believe someone gets paid to study what is common knowledge that kids as young as 8 9 years of age know of. When they want to skip school they don't say I don't feel like it, they say they are poorly.

Is it more official now as Cambridge said it? How is this helpful in any way towards the common good?
I used a modified version of this [0] (modified [1]) running on my home NAS and an iOS Shortcut to easily be able to "share" any webpage that has a video on it to a Siri shortcut that makes an API call back to that docker service. It will automatically download it for me and drop it wherever I have specified. I can then process those files later. It's a great way for me to grab a video I want while I'm on my phone. It can even handle queuing of videos so I can share multiple in a row if I want. I've found it quite useful.

It's no replacement for the CLI but it's better than copying the url, opening my ssh client, connecting back, navigating to the right spot, running youtube-dl, waiting for it to finish (this is the worst part), then closing my ssh app, and moving on with my life.

I'm not commenting on the analogy, my comment was specifically the part i quoted since it sounded to me like the poster assumed it was how "boring tech advocates" would react: i confirmed that this is exactly how they reacted.

Outside of that i sit on the fence of "it depends" with a bias towards conservatism. After all I do mostly write desktop software in C and (Free) Pascal, i do not care about web development at all, i see smartphones as a neat distraction but overall having done more harm than good to the stuff i like (desktop software and UX, primarily) and of all the new languages popping up here and there i find Go the most interesting (i'd also have an interest towards D but Free Pascal provides pretty much everything i'd need from D outside of the crazy metaprogramming, which i'm not sure it is a good thing in the long term).

Ok, actually i might sit a bit further towards conservatism than i initially thought :-P.
Please stick to the community guidelines and respond directly to the argument. Calling a response "sanctimonious drivel" does not make your reply more compelling.
Having used Spring Boot for a while, I made up an analogy: Spring boot is a like a room which has a 1000 switches and a staircase leading to the basement. Usually these switches are enough for most use people. However, if your use case isn't served by them, you can follow the stairs to a much bigger room.

This room is called Spring MVC and it has 2 million switches which will let you do anything you please. Good luck.
> Admittedly, working in HPC gives me a biased view, but everyone I see has resigned themselves to processors ceasing to give meaningful boosts to single-threaded performance.

There's also that realization that compiler & software development is still far, far behind the parallelization capabilities of the HW. See the failed DEC Alpha, Itanium. It's a bad design situation when compilers regularly generate code that blows caches, branch predictors, TLBs and instruction pipelines more than 50% of the time when the code has been run through aggressive non-PGO effort. Compilers need to get better at generating better code.
as an aside, I got my ham radio licence because of my interest in long distance microwave mesh networking. there is a group called aredn http://www.arednmesh.org which uses wifi devices modified to run in the Amateur portions of 2ghz and 5ghz to create massive mesh networks. The lack of noise on our allocations means we can make really long connections. I personally have a 50 dollar Microtik dish that makes a 25 mile connection to a backbone node and get about 25mbps. If there are any HAMs that are reading this, or you want to become a HAM it's a fun project that blends computers and radio.

In general, they use hydro, but it is all over the map. Some are geothermal powered.
People have been saying that Venice only has a few more years for over 200 years now since the end of the republic, and it is still there, and still breathtakingly beautiful.

However, I have been to Venice 3 times in the last 10 years. People here arguing that Venice is "full of people" have not visited the city, but only the cities attractions. It is as simple as that. Even in the peak season when the city center is massively overcrowded by tourists, you (literally) only have to walk 10 minutes from Piazza San Marco to find yourself basically alone on lovely squares in the middle of the day. It is at the same time extremely beautiful and eerie, because you suddenly realize that the square is not only empty because there are no tourists there, but also because most of the apartment windows are blind, with nobody living behind them. Offside the tourist routes, Venice largely feels like a ghost town.

It is indeed sad, but if you stay in the city as a tourist long enough, you get why locals are leaving. The last time, we stayed there for 10 days in a small apartment, and starting with day 2, our hatred for the masses coming off the cruise ships like a biblical locust plague grew exponentially to a point where we completely avoided the city center between 10 in the morning and 9 in the evening.

Two years missing revenue for enterprise customers, ouch that's going to hurt.
As logical as thinking that capping the velocity of cars only harms car companies. It's just not economic thinking.
Changing your NS records at the registry could help, but keep in mind most TLDs are serving NS records with 1-2 day TTLs, so you'll still see a lot of traffic going to the old server.

If this is something you want to be able to mitigate, you really need to be running a seperate DNS infra from your hosting/CDN and use short TTL cnames to delegate hostnames to the CDN. This becomes a big challenge if you host on an apex domain (eg example.org instead of www.example.org), so don't do that.
There's a bunch of ambiguity encoded in to the term "viable" here. The number of viable businesses is almost infinite. Maybe think about restructuring the question with some contexts around that viability in terms of size, area of focus, type, etc, since this will inform the answer to the question heavily.

This is more of an issue with JS than React. ReasonML also has JSX support and since `if` is an expression rather than a statement you can do this:

<div>
{if (cond) {
<Comp1 />
} else {
<Comp2 />
}}
</div>

Or even:

<div>
{switch (expr) {
| A => <CompA />
| B => <CompB />
| _ => <CompC />
}}
</div>
Resources are meant to be consumed. What right do the future generations have over the right to consume those resources over us?
It sounds like he's pointing to the coupling between Java and the JVM. It seems like features that become popular in other JVM languages eventually get added to Java. And if you already know/write Java, adding these new features to your repertoire will be very easy.
They are using the default config with 1GB memory. Sadly that's absolutely nothing for Logstash.

Reported an issue in their test harness.
I'm not sure how else one "prices" an externality. Require the company to clean up after itself - that costs money, the company then internalizes that cost into their operating structure and the cost of their products.
Huh, haven't actually read "House of Suns"! Guess I know what's next on my list, thanks!

This is kind of a thing, at least at the county level. The county I live in has an annual sapling/seed sale where bunches of Minnesota-appropriate saplings are sold at low cost (average $25 for 2 dozen tree saplings) along with packets of various types of prairie grass and wildflower mixes. My main problem is laziness, so a lot of my plants end up dying before I get them in the ground, or I forget to take care of them after I do. I've planted a bunch of seedlings from the program over the last 10 years and a couple are already over 12' tall. I planted about a half-dozen swamp oaks last year and most of them are doing fine so far.

Part of the problem (as always!) is people. There is the Roadsides for Wildlife program, meaning that the county will not spray herbicide in areas with the sign in order to promote wildlife habitat. But a lot of people will take the signs down. I guess because "dandelions ugly."

Since my "lawn" is already mostly clover and other wild plants anyway, I'm definitely going to look into this program.
This is totally off topic, but holy crap, first message in 11 years. I would have lost my password about a dozen times by now.

Tesla also lobbies to get subsidies for his own industry. No clean participants in the energy market.

It's on the state to fulfill its obligations with the citizenry
There is another approach that could also alleviate some of the pressure. Instead of keeping the consumer price fixed and allowing the utility to control your load, you can allow the consumer price to float.

Most of these markets have a 24hr-ahead clearing price for energy. I think you aught to be able to expose retail consumers to fluctuations based on the day-ahead market to let people make their own choices for energy usage. Given that exposure, enough consumers will change their behavior to soften the variability in price. It might also make distributed energy storage Just Work (TM) if individual battery owners have a vector to profit from supporting the grid.
in what world does murdering someone have equivalently inconspicuous externalities as burning fossil fuels?
I read the parent post as, the "parasite" will be fired and therefore no longer be a problem.
In the example I'm thinking of the partner wasn't really bothered that the schedule slipped, but the ideal marketing window came and went before the product officially launched, which certainly affected sales. They were really excited that all the planned features made it to market though.

I'd say that some aspects of the capability maturity model make sense, even for engineering groups that practice agile day-to-day.

Agreed.

They reached out to Verizon privately, a Tier 1 carrier with expectations and responsibilities as a good netizen, and got no response.

They attempted to reach out through Verizon's public forms of communication and got a bullshit irrelevant CS response despite requesting escalation.

They then called out Verizon before the community as a whole.

They don't have the luxury of waiting for a well prepared letter from some Verizon lawyers. Modern day customer expectations don't allow for it. You may call it trolling, but all I saw was a company asking another company to stop pissing in the public pool.

I was there just last December and there weren't that many tourists. Didn't see a single cruise ship. Walking around Venice during late evenings was pretty nice as very few others were doing it. I'd see another person every 300m or so.
At a certain point people will prefer large and more monitors over increased resolution. If I could buy two 16k monitors instead of one 32k monitor I'd do it, and that puts a soft upper limit on the resolution.
Except for the fact that Channel 1 bleeds into almost all of the amateur 2ghz band. The center frequency puts the left side of the channel into our band and has made it a mess.

For those interested in how these frequencies are used by HAMs check out http://www.arednmesh.org. We hack routers and wifi point to point links to operate on those frequencies to build out large mesh networks.
