The big mess seems to be in the CSS/Javascript space, where fad frameworks come and go rapidly. There's more change than improvement. Visually, most web pages haven't changed much, and web development has become much harder.

But we can now scroll forever. Slowly and jerkily.

On the language front, we really should have had a replacement for C/C++ by now. We don't. D never got traction. Go is mostly for web back ends, where it has really solid libraries heavily used within Google. Rust looked promising but was taken over by the "functional" crowd and is doomed to Haskell obscurity. C++ itself is now trying to fake ownership tracking at run time, with mediocre results. The abstractions always leak because too many old things need C pointers. Java was supposed to replace C/C++ but became tangled in its own libraries and ended up replacing COBOL.

There's been some progress. There's now grudging agreement that the way to go is type declarations with some type inference. Having to type everything is too much of a pain. Not typing anything makes for unreadable programs. Function definitions really do need type info. So C++ added "auto" and Python added "advisory typing", moving both towards the center. Which is about where Go started.

Have fun making the "unnecessarily" argument to a judge when you do your startup.
Oh, that was actually funny IMO :-)
That's just a pseudo codepage unfortunately. You can use it when calling functions like MultibyteToWideChar etc. but not set it as the actual locale for processes.
This is how most devs feel about any language they don't already use. There are even HNers who regularly brag about having never taken Javascript, one of the most ubiquitous languages, seriously enough to build a nontrivial project or to appreciate its upsides.

So it's not as damning as you seem to suggest.
Sure but most of that "economic activity" is essentially spam, so I'm not sure it's a net positive...
If you look at the acquisitions of Google in the 00's, it's pretty obvious : in 03 they buy AdSense, 05 Analytics and Android, then in 08 Doubleclick, having their hands every part of the supply chain.

Facebook then came along and followed the playbook with the social buttons.

Brilliant move, regardless of how we feel about that.
If you shoot 120fps with 360° shutter angle you can downsample to 24fps with 144° shutter angle, which is close enough to the traditional 180°. And in any case cinematographers often vary the shutter angle, so viewers are already used to changes. Narrow shutter angle is common in modern action movies.

Maybe an armed population made sense a few hundred years ago (maybe not though), but am going to have to see some working out to show it is still relevant today before being believed as an unquestionable truth.

or Climate change will <insert topic>
Obviously. We must do everything we can to combat climate change. This is absolutely critical.

However, I do not see how providing resources to protect vulnerable populations means we do not fight climate change? They are not mutually exclusive policies. This reminds me of the misunderstanding of Andrew Yang's comments during the recent debate, who is a proponent of massively funding programs to fight climate change, but also believes that we need to help those that will most be affected by it.
But all these reform schemes assume that copyright expiration is the end goal when it's really there to allow the creator of a work to extract pretty much all the value from their work -- the expiration is really an afterthought.

I think expanding fair use makes sense in a lot of cases but I also think that harping on copyright expiration terms generally miss the point. Copyright expiration should protect against works being abandoned but those are the exceptional cases.

I think my ideal copyright system would be indefinite but you can make a case before a court if you think a work has been abandoned and you want to pick it up. All of these systems that are clearly designed to burden copyright holders and make it harder to maintain copyright are silly.
> I can't think of single argument for including <toast> that doesn't apply at least as well for <marquee> (and the same criticism should have applied to <toast> too).

People browse the Internet on phones, where toasts require complex and evolving presentation and marquees do not.

You're comparing apples to oranges, marquees v. toasts. A toast is more like an audio or video tag on a mobile device. <dialog> was an example another commenter gave but missed the point completely: modals and dialogs are nuts on mobile devices!

It's about browsers taking more ownership of presentation on devices people actually use.
> It's because the object you get is a file descriptor.

It is, but you're opening the object, not the descriptor (which doesn't even exist yet). When you open a kernel object, you always get back a (new) file descriptor representing that object. It's against previous naming conventions too. It's not like mkfifo() was called mkfifofd() or socket() was called socketfd() or perf_event_open() was called perf_event_fd_open()...

I'm really amused that you're so excited about it and find it so cool. I mean, I'm not suggesting it isn't awesome that they added it, but to me, it's such a glaring obvious deficiency that I'm completely flabbergasting that a lot of battles had to be fought to include it. It should've been added and embraced with open arms over two decades ago...

Correct, it would be redundant. We have a separate foundational document devoted entirely to that right.
Is it surprising though? Your consumption is an important part of any market. By removing your demand from the market, you're affecting it and the price of wheat or whatever good. At an individual level, it probably won't change the scale much, but if enough people do produce only for self-consumption, it can have large enough effects on the market that there shouldn't really be any question that it falls under commerce. The question should rather be whether to regulate the market for wheat at all and what incentives/consequences that might have.

You’re being too charitable. At many times and places, women’s rights have been realized more effectively than in _present day_ America.

OK, I've been duly "assured." Now what?
I understand that in the archaeological community, they have a tendency to label things they can't figure out as being of religious significance. An example I recall is some kind of olive press, I think; it was labelled a religious tool until someone familiar with old-school manual olive presses commented how much it looked like an olive press.

Where this is going is that current archaeologists mistake household items for religious tools, so perhaps future archaeologists will as well.

As an aside, how do we know that current historians are not already doing the same? That they're not already labeling ancient fairy tales, told as amusing stories by people who knew they were just stories, as religious texts?

It would be nice if the two categories of vapes could be separated more cleanly when discussing health effects because it would separate a lot of the variables.
> Could Trigger the Next Global Financial Crisis

So could a new eruption of Yellowstone, e.g., put a layer of ash 1000' thick 1000 miles downwind, another flu like in 1918, a nuclear war, a supernova explosion only a few light years away, same for a gamma ray burst (blow the atmosphere off the earth, since it comes at the speed of light, can't see it coming until it is already here), a marauding black hole (tough to see coming until too late), some bump in the asteroid belt that knocks a rock to the earth like 65 million years ago, etc.

More generally for lots of cases of event A, as above and many more, we have the true statement

Event A Could Trigger the Next Global Financial Crisis

Yup. But there is a nice result in stochastic processes, the renewal theorem, in

William Feller,
An Introduction to Probability Theory and
Its Applications,
Second Edition,
Volume II,
ISBN 0-471-25709-5,

that shows that the events that

"Could Trigger the Next Global Financial Crisis"

arrive as a Poisson arrival process (e.g., like Geiger counter clicks). Moreover, without looking up the details, we have an estimator for the arrival rate, and it is low except for the stock market doing again what it did in 1929 and 2008, and by now with those two examples we're supposed to know better. So, we can worry instead about Yellowstone, asteroids, black holes, etc.

For a simpler explanation of the original post, poor Atlantic magazine needs "click bait".

Or the consequences of human caused climate change are totally irrelevant if human caused climate change doesn't happen, and the evidence now is that such climate change is no threat at all.

In particular pay close attention to MIT prof Lindzen.

That is, the whole concern about humans having any significant effect on the climate, past, present, or foreseeable future, is just a flim-flam, fraud scam driven heavily by people after a hidden agenda on other issues for which big responses, e.g., the $1 T for AOC or Gillibrand, to human caused climate change is a means to power and/or money.

Net, there is no good evidence at all that humans have had anything at all significant to do with the climate, in the past or recent present. Indeed, as in the video documentary, all the good scientific evidence is that there has been no significant climate change due to humans nor will there be for the foreseeable future. In a word the whole concern about the climate is just a scam.

Don't put up with the scam. JUNK IT. CALL IT OUT.

But you're opening the object (which already exists), not a file descriptor (which doesn't exist yet). And when you create or open a kernel object, you always get back a (new) file descriptor representing that object. See perf_event_open, mkfifo, etc. I'm not really sure how it'd have conflated with anything to call it proc_open or something like that, but I'll take your word on it.

Responding to some of the questions regarding "Why Serverless Components?"

When the Serverless Framework was created in 2015, there were only few use-cases you could do with a serverless architecture (an architecture built on auto-scaling, pay-per-execution cloud services, like AWS Lambda) because the services that had serverless qualities were few and immature.

Since then, a growing number of new and existing cloud services have "serverless" qualities. These days, "serverless" seems less of a fad, and more of an important chapter in the story of the cloud, as it evolves as an abstraction over infrastructure.

It's likely large and small cloud vendors will continue to introduce serverless cloud services to the market. All of which will continue to expand the number of use-cases you can do with a serverless architecture.

The Serverless Framework's initial application model is a great abstraction for many use-cases, and it helped hundreds of thousands of people start building serverless applications, easily.

Now, it's time to expand that model. Serverless Components represent multiple models, all designed around specific use-cases. This approach can better suit the growing number of serverless use-cases we're seeing. Additionally, as students of developer tooling and infrastructure provisioning, we've learned that by first knowing the use-case, you can build better infra/app automation that's faster, more stable and more relevant. There are many innovations we seek to introduce with the Serverless Components paradigm.

Overall, the "serverless" movement is about building applications with radically low overhead. As software eats the world, this trend seems to have come at an appropriate time. Serverless cloud services will continue to emerge and mature. Fortunately for us, they represent the greatest building blocks of all time. Who knows, perhaps a new golden era of software development is upon us.

Either way, Serverless Components is here to make it even easier for every developer to deliver radically low cost/overhead software.
Back in 2000, when I was doing the initial design of the D programming language, I was convinced that Unicode was the future (things weren't as clear then). Earlier, I had put various multibyte encodings into the Zortech C compiler (Shift-JIS, etc.).

But it wasn't clear at all whether to use UTF-8, -16 or -32. Windows and Java used UTF-16. So D became agnostic about that, supporting all three equally.

Over time it became clear that you're right, the best approach was to use UTF-8 everywhere, and last-minute convert to/from other formats.

I'm sure it's a decent deal for anyone who has a connection to the place. There are just a lot more competition in being able to bike into a smaller city (which is almost any university town) compared to being able to live in a smaller city, being able to bike into a larger city or being able to bike in a larger city. For someone moving into the area it would then be more a matter of cost, opportunities and other things.
> the guys with hundreds of employees who paid us hundreds of thousands of dollars in support rarely called us (or if they did, they had actually competent IT staff we could work with)

These are all related.

Customers who are successful businesses tend to have money, and competent employees who solve many of the problems themselves. Customers who are not successful tend not to have money and less competent employees.

This is why so many people recommend startups and contractors to raise their prices - not only do you get paid more, but also you filter out less competent customers.

Cassettes aren't actually that bad. A local radio station I worked at for a while used them for reruns. With a good cassette deck, brand new chrome tapes and Dolby noise reduction, it's hard to hear much of a difference between that and a digital recording. Cassettes only sounded low-fi because most people listened to cheap tapes on cheap players with cheap speakers. Even some of the better portable players from the 1990s sounded very transparent if you attached them to a good pair of headphones or a good stereo system.

I feel we reached transparency for professional analog recordings some time in the 1980s, and I would argue that this applies to analog film as well. Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure (1985) and Top Gun (1986) don't look blurry or grainy at all. Analog media kept improving until they were made obsolete. Everyone was trying to approach digital perfection long before it actually existed. Actually wanting artefacts and colouration is more of a recent phenomenon.
