Plastic straws is perfect.

Politicians spending time advocating for, writing legislation, promoting, debating, and bragging about such things is all an enormous distraction which fools people into thinking something is being done and satisfies people would would have been disadvantaged. If politicians literally did nothing all day people would be upset and force action.

Instead politicians do the absolute minimum to seem like they are doing something when they are not.

The reason abortion, alternative identity/sexuality, the NEA, gun restrictions, extreme social benefit changes, etc dominate political attention is precisely because nothing of consequence will ever actually happen while people cheer for their cause and their team.

Kicking stones when mountains need to be moved isn't progress and should be reviled instead of celebrated.
I still think that original Excel macro language was better than VBA. It essentially excel's formula language extended to be imperative language and represented as sheets. At the same time it was user friendly and had kind of lisp feeling.
I was not aware that metal straws turned into microplastics. This is new to me. I suppose the scientists behind these amazing devices will win Nobel prizes for this accomplishment.

Sarcasm aside, metal straws don't float, and fish and birds don't try to eat them. And unless you have some fancy expensive metal straws, in a corrosive sea salt environment the ones generally available rust in a matter of years.

It's like developing Macintosh software on a Lisa. Surely that could never produce anything usable, right?
It can, but only at the cost of complecting source and sink.

By default, function composition is eager: a function is expected to do its work, and hand the whole return value off to the next function.

We can make this lazy, by setting up an iterator and handing this off. At some expense: our next function must expect an iterator, and therefore can't handle a full data structure. At minimum it must coerce those into an iterator when encountered.

Also, it gets awkward to reason about iterators wrapped in iterators wrapped in iterators, even with a debugger, you get action at a distance, where the fourth function in your thread is failing because the first iterator of three has a flaw in it.

Shell pipes handle all of this for the user, with sensible defaults which can be overridden and modified for special cases. It's a powerful abstraction and I wish more languages offered something like it.
There's a whole lot about this comment that I think is flawed, and off the mark, but I think that other commenters have already raised those points in a better and more complete ways than I have.

I will say, however, I think we have a very different viewpoint on what constitutes condescension.
Im not sure the economics of running our own rack servers makes too much sense for most companies and teams. But for groups like cloudflare, netflix, any edge computing or distributed cache systems this makes total sense.

If I had to guess Id say oxide will look like some kind of high voltage rack level installation of ARM cpus for groups or teams that actually still need on-prem or cdn-esque capabilities.

Exactly. Good control UX should be very liberal in what it accepts and normalize it to whatever form they want. Same goes with editing, it should allow temporary invalidity (extra or fewer digits) turn red/disable submit and then return to green when fixed.

eh, as a former "young thug" i definitely knew how, thought to, and did score painkillers benzos from doctors. they know where to buy on the street, but they're also broke. so the appeal is the money to be made from selling the pills. starting price for hydro/oxycodone is $1/mg, so 90*30mg will net you nearly 3k. if we provided addicts with clean drugs and access to help there would be no need for a black market, and doctors would be able to treat pain adequately. we can dream at least.
Quote: "What Will Replace VBA? Short answer: JavaScript. "; and author follows with some logic about JS vs VBA using cross-platform.

Except this will never happen:

1 - M$ loves backward compatibility. It's what keeps their software being sold all these times. Worse case JS will have bigger user share and that's it, but M$ will never cut VBA out.

2 - Also majority of business is done on Windows. Cross-platform means absolutely nothing to corporations. The day that Windows dies that's the day VBA will die as well.

3 - JS as golden boy vs VBA? pleease. Best case scenario you're switching from one ugly boy to another ugly boy. Both VBA and JS are horrors. Don't believe me? Go read'em horror stories about JS cross browsers implementations. JS solved the problem of cross-platform only to open the problem of cross browsers. Good luck having Apple implement the same JS in Safari as their mortal enemy from Google in Chrome.

I personally find it pretty amazing that, as they mention, no one has succeeded in making a robot that can do it effectively. That is certainly a technical issue. It seems to me something that is highly automatable.

The fact that it is something that physicists are studying and it is published on Ars Technica seems to me to be enough to justify it being technical enough for Hacker News (which generally doesn't have to be technical per se, but just intellectually interesting to technically oriented people)
I once saw an integer overflow impact production because someone was concatenating primary keys together as strings to form new primary keys (and storing them as an integer type).
No, they're not. Bioplastic straws are not any more biodegradable than regular straws. The "bio" part of bioplastic identifies the inputs for the plastic.

Compostable straws can be made of bioplastics, but require high temperatures to biodegrade, meaning generally temperatures not found in nature (outside of volcanic areas).
> PragerU is a conservative entity that tried to penetrate a liberal bastion

PragerU is classified as "extreme right" by media bias groups.

And it scores "Low" (on a scale of Very Low to Very High) on Factual Reporting.

I know reasonable conservatives exist. I'm not entirely sure that PragerU is a representation thereof.
Depends on what you're using VBA for, it is for Excel data processing or analytics. IMO it will likely die out, there are much better data solutions on the market for data analytics that use python.
What makes you an authority on this?
Even when the possibility of things getting fixed is substantially more likely than the possibility of things getting broken?

By default Firefox will fall back to the network resolver if DoH can't get the results, so the only way that a situation like this could happen is if someone purposely sabotages the DoH results like with archive.is.

Furthermore, what you are saying could basically be used to rationalize putting any kind of potentially breaking change behind an off-by-default configurable. Do you think the web would be the sophisticated application platform it is today if browser vendors actually had that philosophy? Would that actually be better for John Doe, to make them have to learn about the technical aspects of every new web technology before they are able to take advantage of them?

At around that time, there was popular press site from some MIT people extrapolating our brain computing capacity from some studies about our retinas. They compared it with the Moore's law progression to conclude by ~2030 supercomputers would be as capable as our brains.

Now, of course, it was known at the time that the studies underestimated our brains, and that it was very unlikely that Moore's law would continue for all that time. Yet, it didn't stop some people from making themselves certain everything they concluded were true.
I stand corrected!

I just remember switching over at some point and not really noticing. Messages still made a small noise and slid in from the top right; some would disappear, some wanted me to click on them.

I hope they make it impossible for sites to determine whether you're in private mode. Lots of sites refuse to work in private mode, and frankly, they shouldn't have any way to tell. Private mode is nice because it's the easiest way to delete all their tracking cookies when you leave the site.
The distinction to me is they removed it but didn't also deprecate it.
Condenast has a huge PR, advertising, and media business in China, which would've been a near impossible task even for a domestic Chinese company, let alone foreign, or American one on top of that.

The propaganda ministry razed the media landscape to the ground over the last 5 years. Even completely apolitical companies like publishers of professional literature, science textbooks, photo journals, and children books got a boot.

The state has also been said to forcefully breaking up big media groups, denying mergers in between ad/pr/media companies.

Seeing Condenast thriving in China, knowing how things there are now, is very suspicious.

1) They are paid to support their own tech, when they drop one (Silverlight for example) it can be a serious hit for a buisiness.

2) Yes, but it is changing thanks in part to dotNet core understanding this too. So we should see some benefits across the board for everyone.

3) Well, like PHP back when it was the golden boy against Perl, it's up to the developers to decide the direction of the language itself. Browsers and Node are big players to influence that too, but M$'s interest bringing TypeScript for example is evidence they might believe that.. Also as for standards, I might be wrong but I think they now decide their own standards, with all the browsers as members ?

For this reason I think the 3D projection graph is actually not as bad as made out. Sure, it's hard to tell anything about any of the other provinces compared to Hubei, but it really highlights the difference between there and other provinces.

"a population with identical genomes in all respects"

I'm not advocating this sort of thing, but that's an extreme straw man and neither what I was describing nor what anyone would do. Some country with say, a billion people, could make a million clones of the smartest person in the country, and who knows what else, and still have 99% of the pre-existing diversity.

>in essence making Trump's twitter account a completely public forum whether he wanted to or not

Yes, but even with that ruling Twitter is still free to ban people from its platform and even prevent them from viewing Trump's tweets by blacklisting spammer and scraper IPs from it's platform, or even restrict and delete Trump's account. The court declaring Trump's twitter account a public forum does not change any of that. No can sue Twitter over that for not being able to view Trump's tweets. So this is not relevant at all.
Ah, you may be thinking of Lion, which had notifications but not Notification Center. Notification Center is the name of the panel specifically, and that came one version later in Mountain Lion.
They don't have to buy their own servers, renting from Hetzner would probably be much cheaper than AWS or Gitlab, and you can automate installing the runner on the server so your administration needs get reduced to basically "reformat the server and run this provisioning script".

I'm sure there are things I'm not taking into account, but it doesn't seem that bad.

I have and admire this graphic and I think it highlights a few top-level things you mention like the right representation for the right audience. It takes some time and concentration to understand the Napoleon graphic vs. a simpler presentation where a few key points jumping out at you with ease, but that it manages to encode so many dimensions into a 2-d format is where it is unique. Tufte generally pushes information density over other, equally as valid, goals.

What is it about an IDE that you need?

a) The ability to do an end-to-end build with one click (we've lost that with cloud being part of the equation)

b) Guranteed buildability

c) Intellisense/autocomplete

d) Widgets that can be moved into any which way.

I feel that we're missing a trick with CI/CD if IDEs can do a end-to-end build with one click, there's some technology to be shared or extracted here from desktop IDEs.

Why don't they enable it?
To be very clear, I entirely agree that it is perfectly ethical for an investigative journalist to encourage a source to whistleblow crimes or information in the public interest.

I also believe that Assange went above and beyond "encouraging" to participating in, and committing of his own accord, crimes intended to either cover tracks or that gained unauthorized access to further information (whose criminality nor public interest was not known).

Cracking or attempting to crack passwords of uninvolved third parties in order to get access to or coverup your unauthorized access to information is unethical at least, illegal at worst, no more than it would be for me to clone your ID card to gain access to your employer.
At the moment the implementation is to basically inject code, but I imagine eventually Microsoft would like to move away from that.

Issues like DCOM and legacy systems would need some interface from Microsoft of course to handle IDispatch, GC etc, but thats what Microsoft do.. And to behonest, as much as I like to rip on them, they do it well.

When I was living alone as a single person it was pretty easy for me to avoid wasting food. I knew my own habits and my own level of hunger so I was able to effectively control my food buying and preparation. Since moving in with my wife, however, and especially since having kids it has been harder and harder to accurately predict our food requirements and minimize waste. I'm sure the larger the population a single entity is providing food for the harder this line is to walk.
Its more than that. A notifier let’s you know who’s interested in what. Second level analysis of that is trends of interest over time or weighted interest vs influence (measured via user karma).
Has this changed now?
> Apple’s mouse only has a single click.

it has way more than just single click...
I find this idea of putting everything in economic terms worrying. What does excessive food waste say about the quality of the culture?
> I would imagine most people that only know VBA would have no interest in using C# to write office interop code, and I don't blame them.

I'd be happy to use C# but it's so god damn hard to learn those libraries.

The biggest disadvantage in using VBA is speed – not to mention the idiosyncrasies of the language itself, which can make complex code rather painful.

Writing a .xlam addin is easy, except there's no tooling for creating "builds".

On a separate but related note, since writing XML for the ribbon by hand is so annoying (and you also have to write callback wrappers for each Sub you want to expose) I have actually written a python tool that parses annotations from comments in .bas files in a given folder and spits out a .xlam file. Haven't gotten around to publishing it but if folks are interested I can give it a little oomph and finish in the next few weeks, so lmk
Let me add for clarification to the parent commenter: In Germany you'll not only need to have at least a fixed amount of theoretical training and an exam about that, but also driving training in various conditions. Few hours on the Autobahn, few hours at night and obviously driving though the countryside and cities.
What you're describing is the basic argument against orphan works legislature of various types. Disney won't forget to renew. But lots of individual authors and their estates will and the big corporations will sweep in and profit.

> Clang's "bundled" standard library, libc++, doesn't support windows.

You're an awful troll. Clang on Windows is distributed to use the system installation of libstdc++, not clang's experimental libc++.

https://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html

> Clang also not only allows but is commonly used with libstd++ instead.

That's because libc++ is clang's experimental implementation of the C++ standard library, developed to give the project an alternative library to GPLv3 implementations such as libstdc++.

https://libcxx.llvm.org/

> There is no bundling of any kind in any concept of that word, practically or technically, between C++ compilers and standard libraries.

Your personal assertion contrasts with reality. Even your cherry-picked example contradicts your claim, as clang's history as a drop-in replacement for GCC and therefore it's reliance on GCC's libstdc++ is well documented.
Accused. In intimate crimes, where the only witnesses are the accuser and accused, it is typically extremely rare to charge the accused absent any interview whatsoever, so the "he wasn't charged" doesn't change my point.

Loss is also slack in the system. The alternative might be food shocks when demand is underestimated and we run out of food. That is much much worse than some food getting thrown away. Food shortages are society-destroying levels of bad and some food waste is an acceptable price to pay to avoid them.

Until we get matter replicators, I don't think we can have just-in-time inventory for food.
