So, what, barclaysfoo.bank, barclaysbar.bank, etc.? It's still clunky, and is still training users to accept an even more insecure naming pattern (because now they need to look for the barclays prefix and the .bank TLD; if either of those is off, it could be an attacker's site). Plus, is Barclays supposed to secure some assurance from the TLD operator that the prefix "barclays" is theirs alone, and that no other such domains will be created for other entities? That sure sounds like a namespace of its own at this point, except without the syntax making that obvious.

Never mind that Barclays provides more services than just banking, so a lot of their existing websites aren't suitable for .bank, and now you're gonna have their Web presence scattered to the winds across various TLDs.
I didn't downvote, but dang and sctb have said several times that it's absolutely fine to downvote because you disagree with the opinion expressed, and in fact Reddit has guidelines against doing just that. The HN guidelines also note that it's boring to read people complain about downvotes.

dang once told me that a post's score tends to fluctuate up and down. The key, I've learned, is to not bother what people who have no counter-arument think about your opinion. A downvote is the equivalent of someone saying "nyeh" or flipping over the chessboard. Just move on.

Not saying you're wrong, but there's nothing in your comment that supports this claim, so can you elaborate?
"The stifling innovation argument is faulty anyway. If you are really innovating, then there should be no reason to fear releasing the code for something the company considers obsolete."

Many products contain proprietary elements that are licensed by third-parties who have no reason to agree to their software being open-sourced. The company I work at constantly gets calls to open-source product X that they discontinued, but they can't because of the reliance on code that doesn't belong to them. And predictably enough, they're not willing to go back and renegotiate a new license for a product that they're discontinuing.
AFAIK that 3A figure for the Pi includes power for the USB ports on the Pi. So if you don't load up the USB ports, you can get away with more like 1.5-2A, depending on what you do.

If you have a pneumatic tire, the entire air volume of the tire is your first shock absorber; even before you have to care about suspension design, you're chopping out high frequency chatter and broadband impacts.

If you have a solid tire, only the arc between the axle and your contact patch is the shock absorber, and the rest of the tire remains relatively unperturbed and unable to contribute to smoothing out the road.

This results in a harsh ride.

Often, to get a tire compound to be sufficiently durable to work well in a solid tire, you have to sacrifice the ability to maintain grip over a reasonable operating temperature and road conditions. This also contributes to reduction of ride quality, and makes operating in wet or freezing temperatures potentially quite sketchy.

I used to be a Sonos fan. I have 7 speakers. Now I am worried when my speakers will become obsolete. I tell everyone I know to stay away and religiously post reviews saying the same thing.

After spending several thousands of dollars, I shouldn’t have to feel worried that my investment will become artificially obsolete. Already I can’t directly play music from my iPhone to my speakers like before, I have to use airplay which is clunky at best.
It’s common for multiple groups to be defendants in the same civil suit. So, any of them can end up paying for the defense of all of them. For example suing the doctor and hospital for a botched surgery.

Am I asking for too much?

Probably, yeah. And the way you're asking is probably wrong as well. Assuming your other posts are like the ones you've made here, you seem to be making a couple of critical assumptions about the people you're soliciting, among them:

1. They know who you are, or have any reason to care what you're looking for.

2. They don't already have somebody building their thing for them.

3. And if they don't, that they have any reason to think you're a qualified partner to work with

I mean, if I'm Joe Business Guy and you show up on a forum and make the statements you've made above, my first reaction is probably going to be "Who the fuck is this guy, and where does he get off making demands here when he has no credibility or reputation?"

I'd suggest a strategy of engaging with the communities you're soliciting among, get to know people, demonstrate value, probe gently to see what people are interested in working on, and then suggest working together when there are clear signs of a good match. Think of it kinda like dating. Imagine if you posted on a forum saying

"Hey, I'm Joe Random Anonymous Suitor and I'm looking for a wife with a demonstrated track record of good cooking, and a sizable dowry. Must be from a good family, and ready to marry and have kids." Do you think that would net a lot of responses? Yeah, it's just a metaphor, but think about it...
Not necessarily:

I went a different way and bought a 42" 4K display¹ (that's roughly the same PPI as 27" @1440p, so 100% zoom on Windows or Linux is just fine, no UI scaling nonsense).

So basically I have 42 inches (107 cm) worth of diagonal in front of me:

Height: 20.84" (≈53 cm); Width: 37.05" (≈94 cm); PPI: 103.64 (≈41 pixel/cm).

This gives me 476x118 lines (476 = 5.95 × 80 chars!) in full-screen terminal using small-enough fonts² (no reading difficulty here, productivity/comfort > all). Key thing being, vertical space versus a much shorter ultrawide (but about as much horizontal real estate). I think it matters a lot for coders, sysadmins, people who look at text (code, logs), long lists and tables in general.

I must confess that I feel slightly constrained by this monster in a way I hadn't anticipated: whereas real estate is never much of an issue, what I'd call "lack of separation of concerns" emerges: most Desktop Environments are not designed to manage several spaces, at best you get quick quarter-screen resizing for a window but that's weak when you have room for almost 4×1000 pixels horizontally (and more than 2000 horizontal). Remember, this isn't like your typical laptop at 4K: you really have all those pixels to work with at 100% scaling.

So you'd want more avanced features, and moving to e.g. i3 (Linux DE, or rather WM) begins to make a lot of sense.

The software is necessary to managing all that real estate, and it's a little bit of a desert because we haven't really moved to the "wall of screens", "cover my field of view" paradigm just yet. If you like tinkering and use Linux you probably can get 80-99% of the way there though, depending on how demanding you are.

____

But beyond that I think I'll eventually extend this setup to a 3-screen config, with two side 24" displays in portrait mode (which at 1080p unscaled, or 1440p scaled by 1.25, yields almost the exact same PPI as the middle 42.5" juggernaut). Something like that, with either 2×B or 2×C for obvious symmetry:

┌───┬───────┬───┐ A: 2160p 100%, PPI 103.64
│24"│ 42" │24"│ B: 1080p 100%, PPI 91.79
│ B │ A │ C │ C: 1440p 125%, PPI 97.91
└───┴───────┴───┘ (C = 1152×2048 usable)

This would allow me to put things "aside" literally so — monitoring and tracking, ref docs/notes, previews... Things I'd rather not move or rarely so.

I would never trade my uninterrupted 42" for the little convenience of optional separation, but I'm definitely considering adding this to that.

I strongly recommend you look at this option because it's made me virtually unobstructed by anything display-related since I've had it (small thing: I wish it had more DP/mDP inputs).

A smaller version of this setup has a 37" landscape in the middle and 2x21" portaits on the sides.

[1]: Dell P4317Q with up to 4 simultaneous 1080p inputs https://www.monitornerds.com/dell-p4317q-review/

[2]: Adobe Source Code Pro 9pt, which at 100% with forced 104 DPI to fit the display yields a pretty legible font size. I do most web browsing at 100% or even sometimes less for density.

Are you talking about Dart?

If so, that's absolutely savage, lmao. To not only call it a "custom" language but not even name it. The amount of disrespect - and the worst thing is I don't even think it was intended. Even if this is one person, I think this speaks volumes about how much of a joke the language is.

It's just so sad. And to think that the team behind flutter purposefully chose it after considering a bunch of other languages.

Madoff has stated he is happier in jail than he was before he got caught. He was never king of anything. Living a life in which you lie to everyone you meet-your family, children, friends, and clients-is not conducive to happiness. He constantly had to be vigilant about getting caught. His own son turned him in, and later committed suicide. Lying is not selfish, but deeply self-destructive.

I am not excusing KDE here, I can't be sure but there is a chance that is a packaging/distro issue.

The thing is, helicopters are different from airplanes. An airplane by its nature wants to fly and, if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in the delicate balance, the helicopter stops flying, immediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter.

This is why a helicopter pilot is so different a being from an airplane pilot, and why in general, airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed, buoyant extroverts, and helicopter pilots are brooders, introspective anticipators of trouble. They know if anything bad has not happened, it is about to.

Vegetarian on diet: I eat at Golden Corral, only salad, watermelon, cole slaw, stir fried veggies (lot's of red bell peppers and some fresh pineapple), little rice, unsweetened tea - - and I only go from 2 pm to 4 pm weekdays when the price as $8 or $9 for senior, no charge for drink.

I cannot buy that variety anywhere for that price.
I played with this briefly last year but couldn't get it going in the time frame so I gave up. I wanted to like it but it was a bit unwieldy getting started, and I was not a fan of needing helm to bootstrap an installation. There also was a quirky installation workflow, could not set a key/password successfully for the life of me and it was unclear on if the cli needed a browser?

May have to check this out again, hopefully the quck-start experience has improved.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a review of a book that purports to make the case you're stating is not made here. That seems like a high bar for a review to me. Unless, do you mean you've read the book and the book fails to substantiate this claim?
I think it would be more productive to show how the author is incorrect instead of declaring his statement "a disgustingly transphobic opinion".

The DSM has always been political, though lately it's gotten worse. For the DSM-5, task force members were required to sign NDAs[1] Trans activists also tried (unsuccessfully) to get Dr. Kenneth Zucker & Dr. Ray Blanchard kicked off the task force.[2]

Due to the NDAs, we'll probably never know the full extent to which political pressure shaped the DSM-5.

Either you misunderstand or you're being disingenuous here.

"Consistently and repeatedly" does not mean "this works 100.0% of the time."

Would you deny that exercise fails to consistently and repeatably help people lose weight? Would you say that existing treatments for heart attack victims fail to consistently and repeatably help victims? Would you say umbrellas fail to consistently and repeatably stop rain from falling on your head?

None of these things work 100% of the time, but they are frequently successful.

Psychiatry is a field still in its infancy due to the difficulty of studying the mind. We should hold it accountable for its failings and work to make sure it improves. But, it has successes as well.

It's not the only game in town when it comes to mental health, for sure, but it's also compatible with a lot of other things that can have great benefits for mental health. Meditation, lifestyle changes, exercise, therapy, environment... none are incompatible with psychiatry, which is not perfect but can be a valuable tool in the toolbox.
I would _like_ to use Python (2) for that, but it's EOL/effectively EOL, and Python 3 made the _wrong_ call with respect to Unicode support.

Source code is Unicode? Great.

Forcing _everything_ to have an Encoding when the surrounding world isn't an academically clean environment? Nope, this means Unicode Enforcement and Error Handling in what should be simple programs.

I don't mind have __optional__ libraries for handling Encoding conversions, corrections, and errors... but if I'm working with a legacy filesystem, human input, or anything else, the only basic language support I want or need is transparency of bits/bytes. Let a programmer decide if or where things are validated and what to do about handling invalid input at that moment; do not force the issue upon them.
That strikes me as even bolder. Implicit assumption that the argument works for both people. One small diff in circumstances and then she is lawyerless and without a Defence
I disagree strongly with this.

I'm currently writing a cross-platform app in Flutter that is launching soon, and I found that the developer experience is world-class and I've had very few issues so far. The language is incredibly easy to pick up with close to zero overhead if you are a somewhat competent programmer as it is essentially a very lightweight OOP language. My main languages are otherwise Go and Rust, and picking up Dart was not difficult at all for me and I don't think you need to be a wizard to figure it out. I suspect JS devs will find it even easier to pick up as many of the constructs are similar.

It took only a couple of days to get up to speed with Flutter-specific functionality as well as the native API bindings, and I was already writing production code for the app the first week of exposure to the language. The UI framework is declarative and very easy to reason about and design, and the tooling is also incredibly seamless and easy to use, although I do agree that it needs some polishing as there are some edge cases that you sometimes need to trawl the Github issues page to fix.

Yes, sometimes it is frustrating as there are some things that are lacking in the standard library, but the third-party library scene is picking up and you can do 95% of what you want to do without major issue. I'm convinced that Flutter is going to become bigger in the future and is going to cover most use cases for all but the most performant apps and perhaps games.
Inflation is a concern though the last two decades have shown that the fear may be overrated. In any case, nothing is worse for inflation than UBI and people talk about that seriously...

This analysis diminishes certain facts of the Madoff case. Madoff's son killed himself due to stress related to the fallout from the scandal, meanwhile strongly denying involvement the whole time. Moreover, Bernard himself will die in jail.

So in fact, I think the reverse is true: he would trade 100 years of glory to have even a day back with his son. And even if he doesn't have remorse for the scheme itself, I can't imagine he sleeps well knowing that his crimes directly led to his son taking his own life. Maybe I'm ascribing too much humanity to him, but I have to imagine he lives in, or very near to, hell.

The distinction is that pop-sci articles are just journalism. Most academics take pop-sci journalism in their field with a grain of salt at most, and usually a hard eye-roll.

Real scientific journal/conference articles are held to real standards. Exaggerating or misreporting results in a scientific article is basically malpractice. It's by far the worst (scientific) thing that a scientist can do.

> First of all, you still haven't answered the question: What is it that an RDBMS has that SQLite doesn't have?

And RDBMS is a well defined thing and is literally what the acronym expands to mean. This is very old technology with an interesting history and I really implore you and anybody reading this to go read up on it. It's not just whatever we assume it to be or some kind of data bucket with SQL.

> Microsoft Word is not a word processor -- it's a file format.

No, don't be obtuse. I'm saying that .docx is a file format.

Word is both an application for editing documents and contains a reference implementation for reading/writing .docx formatted files. There are many libraries that can read .docx files and some of them are also part of document editing software.

> Right, but you don't have to write the logic if you're using SQLite. That's the point. SQLite is a library, which provides a way to do SQL operations on data. Like Word, SQLite has a file format, but it is far more.

I just don't get where you're coming from. Do you not know that the SQLite libray can actually do complex SQL queries on data? Or do you think that people shouldn't do that for some reason? Or do you just value SQL queries so little that you don't see any difference between being able to do complex queries and doing `file.Write(json.Marshal(data))`? What is it you're trying to accomplish with this line of argument?

Precision of thought. People don't go around calling fish oceans, or forks restaurants. The SQLite library does what you've described to SQLite files. But you don't need the SQLite library to work on SQLite files. You don't need even need SQL. e.g. https://sqljet.com/

Just because a library offers SQL as a convenient tool to read/write data into its file format everybody loses their minds and starts to think the library is some kind feature reduced Oracle cluster. Go back to my first post. People are approach what SQLite is from the wrong direction (RDBMS) and its confusing the fuck out of everybody who gets near it.

This is important. IT departments and governments make very large, very expensive decisions based on if people know that SQLite is closer to CSV files than to Oracle databases.

I literally sat in a meeting last week where a senior decision-maker at a client wouldn't accept delivery of some software because it used SQLite and didn't want to add maintenance of yet another database to their overworked DBA staff and didn't want to hire a dedicated person to manage it. So now, instead of just taking delivery of the software, some of it has to be rewritten to use the client's RDBMS system, which in turn actually will add workload to the overworked DBA staff and will also perform worse.

SQLite IS A FILE FORMAT with a really nice library for reading/writing to that format.
That is not evidence for the claim "So no, OP, academics who didn't support trans politics weren't scared off by the community."
