I think it's a matter of phases. There will be a glut of retreads, people will yearn for something new. Something new and good will come out and be wildly successful. This will inspire a glut of novel stuff much of which will be mediocre. People will turn back to the tried-and-true including retreads of successful recent innovations. Rinse, repeat.

> soviets don’t get adequate credit for the privation they suffered.

this old trope? the soviets were horrible monsters.
they killed jews (many pogroms). during peacetime they killed at least as many people as the nazis did.

the great trick that the soviets managed is to make us belief they were on the right side of history, when in reality they were on the worst side, every single time.

one of the greatest mistakes of WW2 was the US support of the USSR. they should have left the two madmen to kill eachother. the world would have been a much better place. what did we get in return? USSR dominating half of Europe, murdering, scheming, destroying the social fabric of the continent for half a century.

In the wikipedia article it actually says that there is a theory that his body was placed on a nearby burial mound and moved by the ice to the location were he was found but:

I’m also kinda reminded of aws lambda URLs, or I guess URLs in general.
I've seen PaaS more frequently affiliated with services sold to me where the service is bound to a persisted compute resource, and you're always billed for it. There is a always a cpu core running the platform somewhere.

Whereas serverless/Lambda/container service can take the billed cpu to zero when you deem fit. There are still cpus managing and administering, but you have the option to take your utilization that you get billed for to zero, where in the PaaS that I've been sold to, I didn't have that option. YMMV, of course.

Those who don't "get" cloud likely haven't seen one big use case where the costs of cloud services are pretty immaterial: very large organizations with human-dominated change processes. The win here with cloud is the policies and contracts are embedded into the API and access configurations. The speed-up isn't from elastic services, it is eliminating the layers of humans standing between you and the service you want delivered.

If you work in such an organization where you send in a change ticket with the exact Unix commands you want run, and it takes a week for the sysadmins to get around to processing the ticket, the cloud seems lightning-fast by comparison. Then all the scaffolding to set up CI/CD, CMDB, configuration management, secrets store, elastic services, etc. either on-prem or in the cloud doesn't seem nearly so tedious any longer.

Ok, then I'll give you an analogy in return:

Someone posts that they'd tried to join two strings in C++ and print the result. And they couldn't figure out how to do it; they would keep losing the second string. So, they gave up and changed languages, losing a month's worth of work.

At the end of Revolutions, conversing with the Architect, the Oracle predicts Neo's return. Given that Agent Smith's consciousness wasn't destroyed by his apparent obliteration at the end of the first film, and was able to mind upload into human victims, I think there's already an established mechanic for the resurrection of characters "killed" within the Matrix. Additionally, Neo is not a natural born human, but presumably genetically engineered in a repeatable process which could recreate his body.
There is wealth of devices that are powered by radio waves.

Every receiving antenna could be said to be powered by radio waves since it converts radio waves to signal (albeit typically quite faint) and antennas were known way before The Thing.

The difference between The Thing and other devices is that it modulated and reflected the signal at different frequency all without use of any electronics. Every RFID chip is a bit of electronics but The Thing actually is an analog device without anything that could be recognized as electronic circuit at first sight.

As far as I understand it used some kind of resonant cavity an some kind of change in capacitance dependant on the geometry of the device. The sound waves would cause the physical setup to vibrate and the vibration would change geometry of the device causing modulation of the reflected signal.

Most engineers will take take aws/gcp without GUI tooling any day over Azure and its sea of undocumented bugs, performance issues, unlogged failures, and blown SLAs.

The only reason to use Azure today is either because it's the only thing you know or because there are external forces making you do it.
Soviet behavior in Eastern Europe is pretty par for the course for a conquering army that isn't re-conquering what it considers home turf.

Considering how the Nazis treated the Slavic peoples they conquered and that the Russians got to see all that on their tour of eastern Europe prior to arriving in Germany I think it's a miracle that the soviet army didn't get even.

The trend to do ever more sequels, prequels, reboots, other stories in the same universe etc has a really awful side-effect that everything is always explained. There is no mystery in any of these things that won't eventually be explained in full and therefore no gaps left for the imagination of the viewer to fill in. The original Matrix film in my opinion would be significantly more interesting if all the loose ends hadn't been conveniently tied up in subsequent films.

Imagine if we hadn't seen how Anakin became Darth Vader? As a kid I imagined a much more terrifying journey that turned him to the dark side. The prequels could never live up to that.

Edit: ...and on the other hand, imagine a "Duel" prequel where we get to see the truck driver's backstory. Consider how dramatically this would reduce the stature of the original film. (p.s. If you haven't seen "duel" you should).
What's New in Loomio 2.0
Some languages have hash tables (and hence sets, as they tend to be implemented with them) that use open addressing, in a way that doesn't end up being bad cachewise unless there are unreasonably many collisions for the same hash code.

It is also not uncommon for mature implementations to optimize the cases with few elements in the hash to use linear lookup. In some cases that optimization is also used while storing data in small hash tables.

Pointer chasing hash tables was good when cache was nonexistant or small (ie the 90s), but nowadays, open addressing is just superior.

First Swiss army knifes were produced in the late 19th century, and the idea of combined blades and tools existed long before. Folding pocket knives were in wide use everywhere, so surely Russians manufactured and used them even before USSR.

This quote stood out, because as a promise to your family, it really sucks. We never know what the moments that matter to other people are going to be. Big events are nice. But when you think back on your life, how many important moments were from small events? Just having a nice talk, doing a chore with your dad, telling your mom about your day? How many idle comments from friends ended up having a large impact on you?

When dealing with family, you need to be there enough that moments happen, because the scope of their impact on the lives of those around you are not predictable.

>>These bombings quickly brought the war to a close.

>According to other narratives by historians, the main cause of the Japanese surrender was the Russians entering the Pacific war.

Both - USSR entering the war and the nuclear bombs caused the Japanese surrender. It would have happened soon even without the bombs anyway. The main role the bombs played is to avoid USSR actually invading Japan territory. Ultimately that saved Japan from the Korea and Germany fate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Japanese_War

"The invasion of the second largest Japanese island of Hokkaido, originally planned by the Soviets to be part of the territory taken,[18] was held off due to apprehension of the US' new position as an atomic power."

Plot twist: Machines didn't take over, but some other entity did (aliens, other humans or maybe even some other weird and abstract concept of something) and the Matrix is indeed just some decoy to hide all the other meta layers, which in the end result in the truth that basically everything is a simulation, including the concept of said entity taking over something to run this simulation in the first place ... or they pull off the super disappointing "everything was just a dream" meme. Sounds like fun to watch in any case!
Teaching Technology in 2019
Having worked as a .NET dev for the better part of a decade, it's a mixture of things:

1. The cost of moving a standard .NET application to .NET Core. If the benefit is there, it'll happen, but for established code bases I don't see why they'd bother when standard .NET works fine.

2. On the web side of things, many of the big content management systems aren't on .NET Core yet. Umbraco is the king of CMS's on .NET, and once they pull their finger out and focus on .NET Core I think we'll see a wave of developers moving to Core.

3. For general web stuff, there isn't a solid reason for people to move from the likes of Ruby, PHP, and Python to C#/.NET Core.

4. There's still a perception that .NET Core is a WIP. That's understandable, considering .NET has been battle-tested for decades, and .NET Core is still (relatively) new to the party. There was also the csproj issues from a while back, and that set off a few people from fully switching.

5. The naming has confused everyone, so the safe option is to wait for everything to sort itself out. .NET isn't going anywhere just yet, and the switch to .NET Core won't be a huge one for those that have had to adapt to new C# and .NET libraries over the years anyway.

Do you stop yourself short?

Honestly answer. Do you face death all the way? Does the immense pain dissipate, and similar thoughts had with no pain attached?

There is gold in the ashes. It is up for the individual to identify.

Death is painful and dreadful. Anxiety ridden. Everyone feels it when contemplating death. Like the Mideveal ages everyone should walk around with a golden jeweled skull.

We plan for life, never for death. Find in the saddest moments, the hardest moments, the beauty the light gives you.

For in death, there are no answers that pertain to life just as life has no answers that pertain to death.

You may have control over living this life, but only if you fully see the beauty that death allows in life.

Don’t let the anxiety stop you.

Darkness, surrounding and surmounting, where no self exists, life boundlessly feeding into the ether and the ether boundlessly feeding into life.

A process of forget, death, decay, growth and born. Where the process is outside all of that.

The process that persists yet you go away.

Think about that darkness there, that scary insurmountable darkness of the persisting process. The persisting process that if it had awareness and wanted to undergo death and growth it could not, yet you are bounded by this process. To always grow and die, either eternally forever or one time in the whole of forever. Both time being a perfect circle and a straight line, you being the one point for all of that eternity.

To be reprised or forgotten about forever.

Darkness shattering.

The paralyzing will, if fostered, cared for, can exhume paralyization and can find a dark addicting taste for the affinity of the unknowable.
libspng doesn't support encoding images yet, the benchmarks show decode time. It is faster at decoding because it minimizes its per-pixel overhead, e.g. if a PNG image is has an RGBA 8-bit layout and it matches the requested output format it will just decompress and defilter the image rows, in this case there is no per-pixel code at all. Encoding is almost the same process backwards so it's more than likely it will be faster at encoding too, even if it would the same strategy for optimizing compressed size.

That’s really the original libpngs fault for picking a generic. Now everyone wants to follow suit.
Being an RTOS is only necessary if your application has a requirement for real-time response and is also itself designd for bounded-response-time.

Ignoring drivers for the moment, your typical desktop application does not have a need for a bounded response time. Desktop applications typically do not fail due to a dialog box being popped up a few milliseconds late.

The underlying drivers, on the other hand, do tend to need bounded-response time, but this is typically performed by the use of the interrupt handling subsystem, whether directly handled or split into upper/lower.

Even non-RTOSs should be able to provide real-time response to drivers in this way and the trade-offs taken by an RTOS scheduler are not always appropriate or optimal for a desktop, user-facing system.
> I think a primary issue with code is that the kind of people who like to explain it tend to think it has something to do with engineering, or an expression of a deeply objective scientific method. It seems to me that it has far more resemblance to a cargo-cult like set of cultural trends, riven with changing fashions, competing tribes and decisions based on hunches with no real evidence about anything at all. It is this of course that makes programming interesting and possible to poke fun at and celebrate in equal measure - and it seems you get further by teaching it based on this reality.

Absolutely this. They changed names, project format, build tooling, etc faster than the ecosystem could keep up. You couldn’t even be sure there existed a set of compatible ASP.NET Core, EF, and standard library packages in nuget without endless trial, error, and binding redirects.

IIRC the standard argument against "not a few that popped up around the same time (on a geological scale)" is that geological scale is so much, much longer than biological scale, that the time between two events that would be "around the same time (on a geological scale)" is sufficient for that single cell to multiply in immense amounts, colonize the whole of world's oceans, evolve significantly, and (most importantly) eat up all the easily available resources that allowed it to form. If we look at the 'primordial soup' theory, it's about concentrations of aminoacids that can accumulate only if life is not present - once the first life spreads through the oceans, it'll colonize and consume every location that's sufficiently rich for new life to spawn.
Lots of original movies are released - probably more than ever. It is just that the public prefers names they know, so the sequels/prequel/reboots/adaptions generate more money and attention.

Just look at all the attention this announcement gets. You don't get a HN thread because some studio announce they will film an original story from an unknown screenwriter.
The '90s were twenty years ago. It's not that long, but about the same amount as time between the original Star Wars and The Phantom Menace. Or between the Batman movie with Adam West and Tim Burton's Batman. And it was only 34 years from the silent version of Ben Hur to the Technicolor classic.

Think about this, since it's the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. When that festival happened, rock and roll[1] music wasn't even 20 years old.
