The argument is very weird.

1. Free speech leads to obsession with texts.

2. Textualism is responsible for ills like the San Francisco housing crisis.

3. As the author has personally ranked favorite cities, the best ones are in China.

4. Therefore free speech will doom Western society.

On the bright side, if an argument isn't valid, it doesn't matter as much that your premises are false.

You would expect so but the data about temperature anomalies suggests the opposite:

I don't hang around HN to have every other commenter confirm my existing opinions either.

Being told by someone that they think you're wrong isn't an insult.

If you buy the reassuring yet nonsensical idea that "the humans are fucked, the planet will be fine", you can be adequately classified as cherry-picking a minimally discomfiting worldview, against all evidence. That's not an insult.
No. I'm trying to decide whether I should trust the people that are in a "purity spiral" who say they're being reasonable, or the people gesticulating at the knitting community and saying there's a purity spiral there because they said so.

Who is more credible? How are we sure which one is?
You are right that was updated to free updates for one major version (e.g: license 1.2.0 is also valid for 1.3.0, 1.4.0 but not for 2.0.0).

>That strikes me as a cynical read on the situation. Could it be that some of those people liked you, believed in you, wanted you to thrive for selfless reasons that were not economic?

Maybe that did, but it doesn't change that they did whatever they did without asking for anything in return. At least to me the idea of a system in which you owe somebody more for something they did (either something they did out of generosity or because you paid for it) than what you explicitly agreed upon is quite unpleasant. Like if somebody came to my house, asked "could I mow your lawn", and I was like "uh okay sure, I suppose so", then afterwards they were like "ah-hah, now you have to pay me $200!" or "ah-hah, now you have to clean my kitchen!", I wouldn't consider that very fair. Ideally an agreement/contract is only valid when both parties understand and agree to it.

>That's the thing, the "their money" part is sort of a fiction. Additionally it is totally fungible, not earmarked or put conditions upon, it doesn't go into a little pile marked "asveikau's taxes" for only the parts of government I approve of.

Well then that's where the disagreement comes from. For people who believe in property rights, money isn't a fiction, it's a proxy for the claim people have over the value of the product of their labour. For many of the American founders, it was a consequence of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law . For economically conservative Christians, it was a product of the argument that commandment "Thou shalt not steal" is not waived merely because enough people have voted for you to steal. If someone believes for whatever reason in an inherent moral right to their property, they won't believe it's acceptable for that right to be violated just because other people voted to do so.

How is a serde IDL relevant to microservices? XDR would do just as well, so would JSON.

By huge flat data model do you refer to the sum type which basically holds your app's state? I've always wondered how that state management approach scales when the codebase grows, never seen a good example of a large scale web app architected with Elm.
That seems outrageous to me. Replacing my device, whether purchased outright or through Apple's upgrade program, shouldn't be of any concern for my provider.

my friend works ata company that is an sap partner and they are required to use some sap software (i think some helpdesk component) and they use some external software and import stuff into sap later. afaik the reason is partly how bad it is and how the licensing does not make sense.
Most likely in such companies you would have a separate devops team, separate sre team and so on. How can you use the skill if it's completely separate set of responsibilities managed by other teams?

The only way to give impact in this area is to pivot from writing code to managing infrastructure (i.e. writing code in yaml, pun intended). So, back to the question, what is the point to learn kubernetes above basic acquaintance?

You can use this time to pursue other endeavours like prepare talk to the conference, learn the tools better which you use every day, automate some of your daily workflow (i.e. explore your code editor, write extension to your code editor to automate some actions and so on). This activities will yield better results in my opinion and you'll use this knowledge everyday instead of deep diving into kubernetes without actual opportunity to keep your skill up to date on long distance without going full into devops and becoming less competitive in your main trade.

> This simply isn't true. I don't know where you absorbed such a dumb and naive idea

Lol. The fermi paradox is not my idea, neither is the great filter as one the possible explanations. But the presumption in both is that we are not alone as intelligent life, not to mention simple life.

You mention the goldilocks theory, which indeed states that life probably has an incredibly thin temperature band in which it survives. But that just means life is unlikely on most planets, which means almost nothing in infinite space and time.

The fact life started once, makes it likely it has done so before us and will keep doing so. When I say time doesn't matter, I mean it could take billions of eons, and in the context of the universe that doesn't matter.
you can have the greatest tech in the world, but that won't help you if you can't market your product properly. I've never even heard of any of these brands, yet I'm actually an avid fan of chinese breakthrough tech in many areas, and have absolutely no problem supporting the Chinese tech industry.

But almost all of them have one flaw in common; they don't know how to build a brand and market to western consumers, which is where a lot of the revenue is found. This seems to apply whether we're talking about cheap consumer electronics, specialized digital equipment (in my particular case, audio processing equipment), or cars.
> not working with as much motivation

That's the equivalent of hitting myself and my employer, just hitting them a little harder.

The Hug that says it all (1989)
Even if a handful of unusually adapted species survive, do you think they'll survive for any meaningful amount of time in the absence of any other meaningful biosphere?

And even if they do, why do you assume they (species adapted to environments entirely distinct from 99.99% of Earth) will somehow exist long enough to speciate into a robust planet's worth of species?

The species that exist today have largely survived because collectively they exist in homestasis and regulate their environment. If every tree suddenly disappeared the human race would be gone within hours. Similarly if every warm blooded animal suddenly disappeared plants would start dying in droves within a few days.
No, but check your wording. Calling someone naive and unable to see it is insulting. Just to give you an additional perspective.

The number of records being broken has not gone down if you include parts of the world that are not the USA (they exist!)

The record was broken in 20 of the 50 countries in Europe in the last 10 years alone. Only 12 still have records standing from more than 30 years ago.

About half of records in Africa were broken in the last 20 years.

The majority of records in Asia and South America were broken in the last 20 years.

Anyway, this article is about temperatures in January, which means that all-time high temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere are irrelevant. Would it be meaningless if California hit 130°F in January just because it was once slightly hotter in July?

The problem with SAP APIs and services is that each user that uses the system is billed individually. When you try to build an app that helps one department you have to pay for each of the user accounts despite the fact they just use your app, not all the other stuff. On top, there are no real pricing schemes to know what is coming at you. Either 100$ per user per month or 5000$. Depends. The cloud solution doesn't make that easier.

I don't understand why upcoming programming languages completely ignore the IDE experience or at most throw some basic code completion (which works half of the time) and syntax highlighting at you (not even semantic highlighting).

Exactly. I like it because it is one quick phrase to describe this way of using your good connections.
It may appear higher resolution but I don’t enjoy looking at the extra details knowing that they are probably fictitious.

Even though this is still a weather variation event it is very strange to be living in Stockholm and feeling like it's spring since December, the cherry blossoms at Kungsträdsgården were blooming in early/mid-January.

There is no actual evidence of an infinite universe.

If anything the most likely situation is finite but comtinuosly expanding.

> The fact life started once, makes it likely it has done so before us and will keep doing so. When I say time doesn't matter, I mean it could take billions of eons, and in the context of the universe that doesn't matter.

This is still entirely wrong, on the basis of basic thermodynamic principles that are relatively well empirically supported.

Even if life has emerged before us, the probability of it happening again only decrease over time.

And also: low probability in finite domain doesn't magically imply high probability in an infinite domain. That's not how math works.
In my previous company, there is a senior worked on SAP for a long period of time. In his point of view, the UI of SAP was nice in 90s, but they are outdated now. And you can’t customise the user interface with what you want. He also thinks we should not put too much effort in learning SAP product as a developer because he thinks ERP is not not for this generation. He suggested We can learn the integration with SAP, but don’t waste most our time to learn the SAP configuration from the top to the bottom, SAP programming etc.

>we have had this for the past 400 years (since the birth of the modern press). why do we need it now?

We've also had experts and arbiters of truth for 400 years. Why do we need to abandon the premise that truth has value in civil society?

>how did you, for example, simply decide you can't rely on other people's good judgement? what triggered this change?

I personally have never made any such decision.

Trust is unavoidable either way. Twitter wants people to trust their good judgement in determining what is and isn't a deepfake, fabricated of false information. If you choose not to trust Twitter, you inevitably choose to trust the source, or the community, or your own bias (created and fed from third party sources.) No one is able to independently and objectively verify every claim they encounter.

The only (as yet undetermined) relevant factor here is whether algorithms are any better at determining truthiness than the web zeitgeist. If so, then I see no harm done. If not, the feature will probably be abandoned.

I don't particularly buy into the implied third option that Twitter and other platforms will be using features like this to intentionally mislead the public in order to further some radical political agenda of misinformation and thought control.
I honestly couldn't see much difference. I did not study it in detail to find the differences, just a casual view of both clips. I did look at the comparison clips at the end of the 4K version but still didn't see much of a difference.

A problem may be that the source material is simply too high quality to begin with? I watched the original first and thought "wow, 1896, this enhancement is great", only turns out that was the original clip. They should have chosen something that has more room for improvement (which would also give them a lot more interesting material to choose from).
Most of the hand-on experiences I have read talk about some frustration and pain working with ELM, like talking to and from native javascript libs.

I agree it's the standard and the only thing that actually works (author's words), but it's still a pleasure for me to write and have to deal with C (for embedded). I'd be desperate if I have to be forced to deal with huge different paradigms because pointer problems or insert-your-C-rant-here. C is not going to be replaced on embedded any moment soon.

Possibly some of the downvotes are simply for not following the guidelines.

x299 gives you 7x PCIe 3 x4 slots. That might be surprisingly good enough even for GPUs. And most motherboards can reconfigure number of lanes per slot.

Now imagine having an 8-slot motherboard for 3990X that could be configured to e.g. 4x PCIe 4 x16 or 8x PCIe 3 x16. Wouldn't you like such motherboard?

For Deep Learning I don't really care about PCIe 4.0, but I do care about being able to fit as many GPUs in as I can (they talk to each other outside PCIe anyway). With TRX40 I am limited to 4 GPUs. Even PCIe 3 x8 is good enough for DL.

This was brought up right at the end in the BBC podcast. The academic said something like "you don't get to distinguish. That accusations were made means that something was done to warrant some reaction". I feel the academic agreed that it could be weaponised but saw that its not possible to distinguish and that there would always be some justification.

The presenter suggested that the solution would be to not believe in the ideology. "The best way to get rid of witchfinders is to get rid of the belief in witches"
Minimum records being broken can mean more variance causing outliers more frequently, wouldn't necessarily mean that they push the average down as they might be short events followed by a different weather pattern.

The disruption of the polar vortex drops temperature significantly across Northern Europe but it can be caused by the warming of the atmosphere so even though it can cause record lows it is a short lasted event and on average the temperature is still going up.

That is also a side-effect of climate change, more powerful bursts of extreme weather.

SAT, SMT, constraint programming lie on a continuum. SMT is SAT plus machinery from constraint programming. I'm not an expert on this, just info from this video. According to him constraint programming will win in the long run because of constraint programming has larger structures which can be exploited with global constraints (SAT is only a flat sequence).

The last paragraph is the core issue, IMHO. SAP, while as software is cumbersome, user hostile and the opposite of intuitive, has some really great standard processes. Stick to them and SAP as an ERP system will run, almost, like a charm . When your company has the scale to benefit from it. And sticks to 90% of the standard processes.

Try to implement it without the necessary scale of operations, with sticking to standards and without training at your own peril.

That being said, without any production going on I would never even consider SAP. When don't have any use for their MRP-functions, forming the very core of SAP, you are better of with different solutions. And their licensing schemes are just aweful, not to even to talking about pricing yet...

I think the error in your argument here is to always reduce the application of political correctness down to flawed individuals.

If there is consensus at a societal level that certain hateful speech should be prevented for the general good of society, (and there is) then enforcing that makes sense. We've evolved past bear baiting and public flogging (in most parts of the world), we can evolve past racism, sexism and other limiting behaviours.

After the last update the "undo" notification at the bottom sometimes doesn't disappear, which is annoyingly placed over the address bar and menu button. There's also no way to manually dismiss the "undo" notification.

I've seen quite a few environments, and usually there's only a limited current set of tech the devs are allowed to use, and if that's not the case, I try to enforce this, but this set should evolve depending on the needs.

The main issue however is manpower. At my current client, one of the technologies still actively being used for this reason is PHP (which is a horrible fit for microservices for a lot of reasons), because they have a ton of PHP devs employed, and finding a ton of (good) people with something more fitting like Go or Rust knowledge is hard and risky and training costs a lot of money (and more importantly: time)...
