All of this has been addressed zillion times. Modern Smalltalk dialects have actor libraries and have code reuse mechanisms that don't involve inheritance. There are ways of doing static analysis on late-bound code. (Obviously, guarantees are not going to be the same. I take that as a reasonable trade-off.) OOP isn't predicated on mutable state and there are ways for the system to manage it anyway. (Although, to be fair - that is one thing from the list that hasn't been fully addressed in any practical OOP system I'm aware of.)

Even if none of the work I mentioned above existed, this sort of criticism is amateurish at best. Real engineering requires considering trade-offs in real-life contexts. For example, compile-time checks aren't going to help you figure out that some vendor supplies incorrect data via a web service. An early prototype, however, can do exactly that.
>So from 6.5 we will be able to do syspatch && sysupgrade to get to 6.6. Sounds nice.

The only immoral part is that the companies are using them to scare people that don't know any better.

There's some hints they plan to do so, in the release notes.

Parts of Bazel are written in C/C++.

The command line client as well as some low level file utilities.

But Bazel is distributed as a standalone package in several packaging systems; no need to install Java yourself.

Though I doubt many people know this; there's virtually no reason you would be exposed to its language implementation choices.

EDIT: Actually I believe Bazel is changing its .deb package to not be standalone, in order to comply with Debian requirements.
Each reporting system / products does its own reporting, and no plans of adding ELK integration right now, although we are moving to the ELK stack so it might happen.

We think of it more as a database++ with financial primitives baked in, so we want to keep it very simple and dumb. It’s not a complete solution - it’s a book to write in, and you need another service that decides what and how to write and writes it (we call it the bank or teller service, and it’s all business logic for our business). Each product has its own bank to teller service, but they all use the same ledger underneath.

Iterative Delexicalization for Improved Spoken Language Understanding
Stack Overflow has really forgotten how to engage with the community and especially so with the community of moderators. These moderators are not getting paid. It is a huge amount of volunteer effort they put as hobby. SO should express a lot of gratitude for these moderators who keep SO in sane condition. But SO has been bringing one policy change after another without getting the full support of this community. I think it started with CoC changes that required everyone to become overly polite which many users and moderators did not really agree with. The recent debate on gendered pronouns has frankly been a real mess done in haste and without transparency. If SO does not fix their ways of engaging with the community, I am afraid more and more moderators are going to leave this place.
The authorities are the admins. Everybody knows Torra is behind the protests.
But the scope of what "stay together" means has steadily grown since then.

Is that why she is teaching two classes in her first semester, including one which is lower division? Usually you don't put the crappy teachers in the lower division classes, you give them graduate seminars.

I appreciate your cynicism, but based on her teaching load, I'm going to guess that she is also a good teacher.
I agree at a personal level. If anyone is pushing a toy project, basically no reason to knock it. Reason that Serenity OS story a few days ago was awesome.

However, solutions pushed by corporations with grandiose claims do strike a nerve with me. If only because they are typically pushed with the idea that they will spread through some technical superiority. I'm much more open to this getting more use strictly from who is pushing it, not what it is capable of.

If you hadn't seen it, you may find this recent discussion about sysupgrade informative: https://marc.info/?t=156851721400002&r=1&w=2

And yeah, you're right, even light criticism on the OpenBSD lists is met with a very strong and negative reaction. That said, I think improvement suggestions that come with a diff and a constructive attitude are generally well received.

Also sysupgrade is a pretty brief ksh script, so fairly easy to see what it's doing.

Most systems seem to ask others to rate what they consume - up/down, like/dislike, etc. If we’re talking about content that competes for eyeballs, like a news feed, you might add the concept of having a person “stake” some of their reputation to move something to the top. If it is universally pilloried, they lose reputation, and vice-versa. Bonus points for a system that makes it so my reputation to you doesn’t have to be the same as my reputation to anyone else (if you have been “Up-voting” my content for a while, my rep with you is higher than with somebody seeing my post for the first time).

Not sure if or how this solves an echo-chamber problem though.

Edit: just also had the thought to help tackle bias problems - the platform itself could produce biased content on either side of an issue from time-to-time to deduce people’s positions based on their votes. Then the reputation algorithm has a chance to adjust for ideas that polarize vs ones with general agreement and scale rankings accordingly.

> there's virtually no reason you would be exposed to its language implementation choices

Um, doesn't it still have a client that starts up a persistent server and you then have to wait for that server to start up (which, being Java, takes forever) and then deal with those server processes hanging around?

That sounds like being exposed to its language implementation choices.

As opposed to, say, having fast start-up times and not using a server design like basically every other build too.

But my information might be out of date. That's what always soured me on it previously, though.
Bazel is almost a standard for build systems at this point.

Did you ever use it, or at least see what a bazel build rule looks like [1] before calling it arcane?

Yes, Bach was a dynamic and interesting person/composer. That being said, this reads less like a biography of a musical rebel and more like a sensationalist media retelling of his life as a way to sell a new book.
The parent seemed (here and elsewhere) to argue that RMS was having his freedom of speech hindered vis-a-vis the fact that people were disassociating with him. Further arguing that RMS should be able to say anything he wants as long as he's honest (paraphrased).

I only argued about freedom of association to counter that simplistic thinking. That is, yes it's your right to say whatever you want, but it's my right to disassociate from you if I don't like what you're saying.

> The question is whether it's wise or beneficial to use that freedom in this way

I agree whole-heartedly with this more nuanced take on it. In a round-about way, that was kind of my point - That the matter is not as simple as being able to say whatever you want, whenever you want, and not have repercussions.
Indeed. "Move fast and break things" might not be the best idea in this particular case.
Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not happening.

- Have you ever heard about how Walmart handles Black Fridays?

- Do you even know what's behind Apple's payment system?

- You ever used Pandoc, Couchbase, Grammarly, CircleCI, Clubhouse.io, Pandora, Soundcloud, Spotify?

- Have you ever asked a question - what is an app like WhatsApp that was sold for $19 Billion runs on?

- or How Facebook fights spam, Cisco does malware detection or AT&T deals with abuse complains?

- How Clojure is used at NASA or how Microsoft uses Haskell?

Frankly, I don't even know what's there to debate about. Functional programming is already here and it's been used in the industry for quite awhile already and its usage growing in a quite steady pace. Almost every single programming language today has certain amount of FP idioms, either built-in or via libraries. So yeah, while you're sitting there, contemplating about if FP useful or not, people been building hundreds of awesome products.
I didn't. You just assumed I did, which is different.
Indeed. Unfortunately there’s an anti-rail movement that fights any expansion of it, large or small. It’s too bad because between post 9/11 security and airlines adding fees while reducing seat pitch and services it would be really nice to have an alternative.

The part I don't fully get is how TLD servers, like .com work. Do they have a list of registrar DNS servers defined, and they ask them if somebody wants to resolve a domain they do not know about?
There needs to be an "alternateTimelineHackerNews" subreddit where each post picks a historical technology, removes it from history, and then tries to argue convincingly for the status quo because that now-missing technology could not possibly be created.

Just to he clear, you think that is a central cause of most the problems in society?

I get the whole equity of opportunities argument, there's some legitimate grievances there. Where you people lose me is when it gets into vindictive and punitive territory by working against anyone successful for some vague and needlessly destructive form of 'progress.' I'd much rather the world lifts themselves up together instead of punishing and destroying our way to equity of outcomes, which usually means everyone being worse-off.

Meanwhile no one gives a shit about the 93% male/7% female workplace death rates in these conversations.

Neither of which sounds very pro-worker to me.
The GitHub issue I linked is basically "switch from data-has to RIO"; the issues with data-has come from its use of multi-parameter type classes. RIO avoids the issues by using single-parameter classes. AFAICT multi-parameter type classes are the subject of numerous GHC bugs/misfeatures and are best avoided in production.

OpenBSD only supports 802.11n currently. From what I've read, not having direct knowledge, 802.11ac is much more complex to implement and no one is currently working on it.

China’s agtech is modernizing, and the Americas and Europe is already modern. We divert enough calories for 1 billion people into biofuels. The only realistic thing that will cause a famine is a breakdown in global trade/markets. I think you are being overly dramatic about the disease threat. I am not quite sure why you think genetic diversity within a species is so important. What is important is to have species diversity and trade to avoid potato famines.
To do star star x = f(y), star x and f(y) each need to be evaluated. You'd think the right-hand side would always be evaluated before the left-hand, but that's not always possible (what should "arr[i] = i++" do? I stole this from wikipedia btw). In the above case, f(y) has this kind of side effect that change x, which is undefined.

Rather than changing the macro, this could be fixed easily by putting the assignment into its own function. Then the argument (f(y)) must be fully evaluated before star x.

Edit: I have no idea how to escape asterisk on HN :(
You don't need to install Java. It's bundled. In fact I'd recommend that you don't even install Bazel itself. Instead, install this: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk. This will install either the latest Bazel for you automatically, or you can pin a version of Bazel you want in each repository, to limit and control build system churn.
It's like a human botnet.

Now, if he wants them to give favorable consideration to him when exercising their freedoms, well...
John Carmack: React has turned out to be a bigger win than I expected
Old school tech is ridiculously easy to hack. New tech is much more hardened. The only advantage old tech has is that it doesn’t have peripherals that connect to the internet. At the end of the day the most secure computer is a new one, that isn’t on the internet, and is physically secure.
As a relatively newcomer to bazel, I did find it arcane:

- I couldn't find an easy way to list targets

- in particular, a way to show me the path to the build artifacts (so that I could inspect it in my editor)

- I couldn't find a way to do build configurations (especially intersections of build configurations)

- it didn't seem great at handling non-file build steps (set up a cluster / server / whatever so I can run my tests)

- the documentation was slow to load and hard to find things in (you basically had to use search, instead of browsing a good table of contents)

As I said, though, I'm a newcomer; it's quite possible there are good ways to do those things, I just hadn't managed to find it in the documenting yet. That and the issues are by no means unique to bazel.

I also do like some aspects of it (like enforced out-of-tree builds), but that's off-topic ;)
That's what trade is for. Trump just sold lots of pork to China. Admittedly not all places are as integrated into the world economy as China though, so not everyone can afford food, but aid programs are usually well funded and effective. Right now, the only places where people are starving are ones where aid programs don't have access e.g. because of war.
This suggestion is a straightforward, easy to implement improvement. Many compilers have serious UX problems because their authors don't take UX seriously. Elm and Rust are two languages getting this right.
