"New numerologies"? This is supposed to inspire me with confidence?
Obviously sentiments like "640 KB is enough for everyone" hilariously failed to predict the value of faster and more powerful computers. At the same time, most people's personal use of computers hasn't kept up with the capabilities of the high-end of consumer grade products. Lots of people only really use a web browser, and even an ad-infested website will run fine on most 10-20 year old computers.

You can say "we don't need to frantically rush to deploy 5G" without also saying "nobody will ever benefit from 5G".
That’s why it’s so important to start that feedback loop early when that person onboards. It helps establish a communication culture.

That's actually just a command line infelicity; the advice to use `nix-env -i foobar` is really misguided, and you can avoid excessive memory usage by doing `nix-env -iA nixos.foobar` (or `nixpkgs.foobar` if you are using it on a non-NixOS machine). The difference is that in the former case, `foobar` is a regular expression that is being matched against the `name` field of every package in nixpkgs, whereas in the latter case, `foobar` is an attribute path that is used to traverse the nested Nix objects that make up nixpkgs. Since Nix is lazy, the former results in evaluating a LOT of stuff, whereas the latter does not.

Not all of them. Some have really really good security.

And security regulation for car security is coming worldwide in 2021, thanks to the "terrorist threat".
What "actually happened" was that a US Border Agent acted in an incredibly unprofessional manner. That was accurately reported.

He wasn't stopped

He obviously was stopped, even if only to be questioned, and berated for being a journalist. Which should never have happened.

it was part of the questions he was asked as he was being fingerprinted

You say that trying to make the encounter somehow 'routine'. It's not.

He wasn't detained, or taken away for questioning

He didn't say he was, and went out of his way to make sure that was clear.

The headline is accurate, it's what actually happened, and worthy of outrage. Unless you agree with the agent.
And the turbo button created its own support calls back in the day: "My computer suddenly seems very slow." "Try pressing the Turbo button." "Thanks, that fixed it!"

Is this true? I'm just picturing in my mind juxtaposing Fowler's writings and I dunno, an art critic's.

Category theory is cool and important, but to insinuate that all design problems can be "derived" by it sounds like a mathematician declaring that the work of all civil engineers as just "applied math".
That was covered in the article. He was abusive, so she and the kids left.
> You're not losing anything with this approach.

True, but you are adding something. And if you add things you don't really need, it becomes plain old cruft.

Like the others above, I understand the urge to make some things simpler by adding complexity, but for the long haul I'm convinced it's better to keep tools simple and add any needed complexity to the code you're writing (whether it's shell scripts or anything else). And then document the complexity so future you or some poor stranger can understand why the hell you did that in the first place.

But I don't look forward to reading comments like "X was deprecated so we're converting these tables back to text streams so they can be converted back to Y properly."
I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with spoofing. If you really mean your market order then you don't care about whether resting orders are bluffing, unless you're bluffing yourself. You'll be matched against the best available bid/ask before these can be causally removed, period.
Hello, dear developer. After I was the lucy, of the Apple developer team, after reading your request, I immediately checked your information in the background and found that you had been banned from obtaining uuid, seriously violating the Apple developer terms and conditions, and permanently blocked because you could not be restored. Thank you

Increasingly, consumers don’t even own a personal computer. (Unless we’re being pedantic and calling our phones PCs.)

Asking what a PC will do with faster mobile internet will be misleading.

Not so much "real" as "based on a real story". It's not like Hansel and Gretel is about adult baker siblings stealing the recipe for Lebkuchen and burning the inventor, it's about young siblings held captive by a carnivorous witch breaking out by burning her alive.

Still an interesting story, the headline is just too click-baity for my taste.
Ironically, if society adopts a viewpoint that blesses industrial espionage/IP theft of any technology which "improves lives," companies lose motivation to develop those same technologies.

Maturity matters only in as much as at some point most societies assume you’ll be able to care for yourself (and your parents have no more legal responsibility to fund your life). 18 in the US.

I suppose if your standpoint is “I’m due their assets because they made me” that’s fine. I’m not sure I agree, but it’s a valid view. My own perspective, I’m a functional adult. Inheriting my parents estate would be nice, but if society decided tomorrow that estates all went to solving childhood hunger, I wouldn’t lose any sleep.

Edit: I’m only talking about inheritance. Child support exists for a reason and should continue to do so. In the case of illegal, anonymous sperm donors, they should pay it like everybody else.

Judging from other stories, I am not alone. It seems to be a fairly typical story, even with people that use git in a professional setting. I never got comfortable using git after that, and my use case has mostly been to pull, branch, merge, push and the likes. Whenever something happens I have someone to ask, which also seems to be a common thing. A "git guy" you contact when things go wrong.

With mercurial and darcs I never had that happen. Losing code is a deadly sin for a SCM should be behind at least 2 confirmation dialogues.

Whenever pijul reaches 1.0 I will probably switch to that. It seems like patch theory done right.

You don't need a SIM card or 5G for that. Technologies like 802.15.4, or even simpler, are more than enough.
I found these live maps while researching the Brazilian fires earlier. Not sure if anyone will find them interesting

Anyone have a reference for fire area in all these places? All the stories I’ve seen use “number of fires” which seems useless to figure out severity/comparisons.
Also, while asking people that sort of question, ask yourself whether improving the situation is within your reach, whatever is the cause? If you think you could -- do you think people you are interviewing, also believe you can?

I wouldn't tell anything to a person who has no power or no incentive to improve things, and sadly, this covers 100% of people one usually has exit interviews with. So I always declined them, politely.

You wouldn't believe how much respect and good contacts this attitude earned me over the years.
10-15 years ago it was sort of an ironic joke to mock moon landing conspiracy theorists, ("Moon landing? We never landed on the moon!" lulz) that sarcasm was lost and now I meet lots and lots of people who think it's a legitimate position to deny the moon landing. Like everything - it's just a belief or an opinion.

So I think it'll be remembered as a hoax in the future thanks to memes and just general internet fuckwadery.
Our current issues in the US are partly due to tearing down a million SROs and largely zoning out of existence the ability to create the type of housing being called "Missing Middle" housing.

In the 1950s, the average new house was 1200 sqft and held 3.5 people. Today, the average new house is about twice that size and holds one less person.

We simply no longer build or even allow small spaces in a walkable urban fabric where you can live without a car. The few that have been grandfathered in tend to be very expensive because it's such a wonderful quality of life and we don't build like that anymore.

That depends on what jurisdiction you are in. The title of engineer is protected in lots of places and the description of software engineer is very specific and effectively regulated. That is, a software engineer is licensed.
The term you're looking for is "normalisation of deviance". Little breaches get handwaved away and so people get used to ignoring the rules, and next thing you know some major bad thing has happened and everyone's pretending to wonder why.
I used to work for a disk duplication company (DisCopyLabs) and remember the various pizza parties we would have because someone from Borland was bringing over new Masters to replicate, meaning we had to degauss all of the current inventory of discs and recopy, late into the night.

That was a trippy job, Borland supported the CP/M platform as well as MS-DOS and PC-DOS - That is where I got much of my experience on a wide scale of computers (DEC Rainbow, Eagle, Apricot, Heath, Apollo, Northstar, etc.).

And 8" floppy discs made the best frisbees... If we were really good at it, we could get them all the way over onto San Thomas Expressway from Wyatt Drive. Quite a few up on the roof, as I recall.

This is called rentierism, and there are rentierist societies - where the entire societal fabric has been shaped for the benefit of a rentier class, and protection of their rents.

Usually people in the West associate the later with some banana republics or petrostates, but...

I believe it is intellectually dishonest to omit Western idolisation of rentier lifestyle.

Compare a desert tribe jealously protecting their oil derrick, and how, say, IP lawyers protect their patents, real estate hoarders protect their turf, and high finance people protecting their regulatory watering holes.

The most high societal class in US are the people who master the manipulation of artificial scarcities: securities, permits, licenses, legal patents, royalties, copyrights, and etcetera.

And this is pretty much the shopping list that well off, and well connected give to their children by mid thirties.
I feel like this enthrallment to studies is unhealthy and unproductive for discussion. Studies is not a synonym for truth. I could explain the limitations of studies and the historical errors they have contributed to, but I think that would be patronizing as most people on HN have discussed this ad nauseam.

Also I think summoning evidence without specifying the details of the evidence you're seeking is extremely unhelpful. It just shuts down progress in a discussion. Some actions require hard evidence because the price of error is too great, but this isn't a court room and we are just floating ideas about a craft that is hard to quantitate. I understand your attitude. A lot has been written about software practices and rarely if ever is any of it backed up with data points.
Had them in our library as well - also suspected to be from the homeless folks who go in and out.

Public libraries serving as defacto shelters is beyond their designed and intended use. This is a problem in many public space. Private spaces like shopping malls can remove people. How does a public library decide who to remove?
It certainly sounds like they need to do more. I wasn't aware of these loopholes. Thanks for pointing that out.
Seems very... vindictive and an overreaction by the spouses part to be contacting the agencies:

> She filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and her family lodged one with NASA’s Office of Inspector General, accusing Ms. McClain of identity theft and improper access to Ms. Worden’s private financial records.

The fact she was an astronaut put her in an unique vulnerable position in the divorce process, where there are thousands of additional administrative rules she must observe. Normally this would just be a personal issue between two adults or merely a police investigation.
When PowerShell first came out, I was very excited by the idea and then barely even gave it a chance. Instead I gained an appreciation for input and output being just text. Yeah, I might have to awk’wardly massage the data a lot of the time, but the fact that I can just run a command and see the output makes the flow of incrementally solving a problem really nice.

I’m gonna give nushell a chance, because tabular textual data seems like it still fits the bill while also making it less awk’ward to massage the data as needed for the pipeline.
> You can say "we don't need to frantically rush to deploy 5G" without also saying "nobody will ever benefit from 5G".

Sure. But that just means that the products exploiting this technology won't be developed in your neighbourhood but instead in Korea or China.

I'm sorry but lets not talk about incentives until the CEO and the entire board at Boeing, Equifax, and Wells Fargo are in prison. Our "justice" system openly pursues "viable" cases which means we only send people to prison who we think we can convict because we have "limited resources".

Lets not try to defend the prosecutors here by rationalizing what they do. I won't vilify them either because they are just doing what WE incentivized them to do but I won't throw any accolades their way either.

Appreciate the push.

It does look interesting. I like the idea of working with array native type construct as the mental model is very close to analyzing time series data for a strategy.
Turbo Pascal is old enough that (I think) they probably wanted to keep compatibility with machines that ran MS-DOS but weren't IBM PC-compatible. If that's the case, messing with the timer interrupt would've been a bad idea.
Instead of setting up servers I'd improve my cost monitoring and make the developers responsible for the costs they generate (with great power comes great responsibility). Both of that should have happened before they got permissions to use scalable infrastructure anyway.
I have not gone so far to make a proposal, which would depend on the hypothetical resources available to execute a plan.

I am just providing context for how to think about the problem in a way that (much) more closely maps to reality than low-earners getting displaced due to gentrification and wage stagnation.

My objection is the "ivory-tower bullshit" is wrong.

He goes to pains to fail to define architecture and rejects a reasonable definition for a confused genetic fallacy about social construction.

"Architecture" isn't understanding. Understanding is of Architecture. If architecture were merely "the common understanding of what's important" there could be no disagreement or understanding of the software. Disagreement would be hopelessly social: you could never say "this is too complex", but only, "your understanding is wrong".

> "My view is that applications are a social construction"

Deeply confuses many issues. Applications are made by people, as are tables, but neither are "social constructs" -- which mean they are irreducibly subjective group phenomenon.

Software runs on machines. The running machine isn't a subjective group phenomenon. "1 + 2" is code, mathematics isn't a "social construct".

"Architecture" refers to the structural elements of a domain (ie., how the domain objects are related to each other, and how these relations are related to each other, etc.).

It is a relative term, but not a subjective one. eg., The "architecture" of a animal is how its parts fit together. The "architecture" of a leg is its pieces fit together. And so on.

NASA came up with a follow up article and it seems like there's a lot of fire in Amazon currently "making it the most active fire year in that region since 2010".

So looks like it's been worse only 9 years ago and in some stupid articles I read that we lost 20% of Amazon in the last month or so... Amazon apparently has "fire season" every year when fire blasts there for months.

I feel like someone is trying to set up Bolsonaro or maybe the histeria is accidental because this years "fire season" in Amazon is "dry season" for media?

The charts does not look so bad this year, but I suppose 99% people have no idea Amazon burns every year:

"The other thing where I think shells fail... is that are still old-style terminal. Having text output is cool, but having more rich widget system will unlock better the potential"

You might find DomTerm (http://domterm.org) interesting. It combines solid traditional-terminal support (including solid xterm compatibility) with a data model based on HTML/DOM. So you can "print" images, HTML tables, and more. DomTerm "understands" shell/repl commands as consisting of prompts, inputs, and outputs. You can add markers to group the output into logical groups, so it is automatically re-formatted on window re-size. And more.
We run a feature branch -> release branch strategy, then right before the final push of the code into prod we merge the release branch with the master branch to ensure there is no merge conflict. The merge to master does not trigger any CICD, that is handled by our orchastration software. From the git branches, commits to a feature branch build and deploy to a sandbox env. Commits to a release branch trigger build and deploy to a dev environment, then that build artifact is promoted up the environments up to and including prod by our orchastration software.
It was open-source, MIT/BSD-licensed reference implementations of X11, email and Web servers which helped hugely to promote the adoption of these protocols.

It was the mere hinting by the University of Minnesota that it might consider proprietary licencing of the gopher protocol that killed it dead. Numerous other protocols have been pitched but as proprietary solutions, never to see widespread acceptance. Sun's NEWS display system, and numerous HTML also-rans particularly come to mind.

Even the FSF, which strongly encourages GPL and APL licencing to spread the concept and use of Free Software acknowledges and encourages the use of "permissive" licencing -- MIT, BSD, and LGPL -- to encourage adoption of open protocols and infrastructure (glibc and other libraries).
Funny that you should mention this. I just hit that problem yesterday. The lack of a binary type is a problem. This is the same thing that hit XML. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the best solution is still the MIME stuff.
