> I can shoot into an apartment as long as I don’t hit anyone. Just pay for the property damage — if any?

The "as long as you don't hit anyone" part is going to be hard to guarantee, particularly if this is not just a one-shot event but a repetitive pattern of behavior.

Also, the fact that, if you are lucky enough not to hit anyone, and only cause property damage, and agree to pay for it, the government can't send you to jail in a sane society, does not mean the apartment owner can't take other actions. As, for example, telling everybody they know about your reckless behavior. In a sane society, people who act recklessly like this quickly find that they can't survive because no one will associate with them due to their widespread reputation for reckless behavior.

Unfortunately, we don't live in a sane society.

> What if I kidnap a sleeping baby, but they catch me before the baby awakens or the parents find out. No harm, no foul?

No, because kidnapping the baby is a crime because the baby is not yours, not because some government official thought that doing so "might harm" the baby. I thought we weren't discussing that category of crimes, but only the category where the government's justification for calling it a crime is that it "might harm" someone, even if there is no actual harm.
The planned const generics syntax is going to look pretty weird, because it builds on type generics. If Rust had chosen a different syntax for type generics, const generics might look less weird.

The futures design was built with epoll in mind, and now people are trying to wrap it round io_uring, they are feeling some pain. Would a different design have worked better, without massive drawbacks?
> Maybe that's just confirmation bias and I just don't notice it as much on sites that do it well

This seems to me to be the key phrase.

I sympathize with all the "JS has gone too far" people in this thread. I also hate bloated JS apps. But, "almost all SPAs are bloated trash" is a distinct claim from "SPAs are intrinsically trash".

In my experience it is possible to have lean, high-performance, accessible SPAs without too much developer difficulty. Svelte (created by the author of this article) is one framework in this space, although I think there are better approaches.

> 100% pure functional programing doesn’t work. Even 98% pure functional programming doesn’t work. But if the slider between functional purity and 1980s BASIC-style imperative messiness is kicked down a few notches — say to 85% — then it really does work. You get all the advantages of functional programming, but without the extreme mental effort and unmaintainability that increases as you get closer and closer to perfectly pure.

This is how we (try to) write code where I work. Pure algorithms, immutable data types, single point of change. D is pretty good for this, but could be better; ranges allow you to be pretty expressive when composing operations, but immutable types have a lot of problems still.

It actually combines well with OOP. We tend to mostly use classes to group methods and express domain dependency, rather than manage a tiny state subset. So in maybe half to two thirds of our classes, all the fields are set once on startup and then never changed again.
We recently moved to a community where we can bike to school, work, and shop on a path that is separate from the road. It has exceeded my expectations on how easier it is to use my bike for daily transportation.

Having biked in NYC pre and post bike lanes, I will say that, while riding in downtown traffic was a fun unique experience if you're into that sort of thing, riding a bike share bike in the bike lane made me feel the same way, that bike as a primary transportation could be real there as well.

There are lots of cheap used bikes on Craigslist that will last a long time. Maintaining them is way cheaper than maintaining a car. Cheap bikes are not as targeted for theft, a cheap lock will go a long way towards protecting from theft.
Hyperdrive (and the stack it's built on more generally) works great offline. All the drives you own are still editable without the network, and changes will sync when you come online.

As for 'network questionable' and mobile, here are a few of the other projects building on Hypercore that have made those a priority [0] [1] [2].

The Hyperdrive daemon as it's currently built wouldn't fare too well in a bandwidth and/or battery constrained environment (wasn't designed for that), but a mobile solution is definitely on our radar.

Avoiding OOP is hard: even those using “non-OOP” languages like C often end up doing some sort of bad OOP where the first parameter is some sort of explicit this pointer. I would tend to agree with the author’s conclusion: it’s often not worth trying to remove all instances of a paradigm from your code, especially if you’re working in a multiparadigm language. If you try to stay away from some of the more problematic aspects (inheritance) while retaining the strengths (encapsulation) I think you’ve done a good job.

It's just so fascinating how this is accepted as truth, yet Crimea having a pro-Russian majority is touted as absolute bollocks, propaganda, brainwashed people.

Pretty much the same situation, completely different reaction from the same people.

I believe both of these to be correct (Falklands pro-UK, Crimea pro-Russian), fwiw.

I agree, she has a point, but then evolutionary psychologists don't only use 'made up' behaviors from imaginary cavemen in their extrapolations, but actual observed behaviors from other species, such as chimpanzees.

I think this is where we enter the twilight zone.

We have a story featuring a quite attractive and strong-looking colored woman, apparently challenging the evolutionary narrative, which has all too often been used to justify racial oppression.

Good for her.

But who is actually pushing this story?

To be clear, I'm not opposed to angering drivers period, just certain activities which accomplish nothing other than angering drivers. For example, I will often briefly take the lane if it is the safest option for me or legally required (e.g., making a turn). Yes, many drivers hate this but the benefits seem clear to me, and their anger really is misplaced here.

I don't know much about the history of cycling in the Netherlands. Where can I read about how angering drivers helped there?

One point people overlook is that cars are an existing item that many people already posess. A fast change to biking can put a high demand on their production, which is also based on steel or, even worse, carbon fiber. And then in 6 months many people are going to trash or forget about the bike, essentially just causing a temporary production spike with lasting effects on the environment.

I think more accent should be put on NMF bikes, Natural Material Frame, like those made of bamboo [0] or wood. These materials absorb CO2 from the air to grow, unlike steel or carbon which produces it.

Waves Author here. Happy to answer any questions folks have about the book, about DynamoDB, or about self-publishing.

NoSQL modeling is waaay different than relational modeling. I think a lot of NoSQL advice out there is pretty bad, which results in people dismissing the technology altogether. I've been working with DynamoDB for a few years now, and there's no way I'll go back.

The book has been available for about a month now, and I've been pretty happy with the reception. Strong support from Rick Houlihan (AWS DynamoDB wizard) and a lot of other folks at AWS.

You can get a free preview by signing up at the landing page. If you buy and don't like it, there's a full money-back guarantee with no questions asked. Also, if you're having income problems due to COVID, hit me up and we'll make something work :)

Anyhow, hit me up with questions!

EDIT: Added a coupon code for folks hearing about the book here. Use the code "HACKERNEWS" to save $20 on Basic, $30 on Plus, or $50 on Premium. :)
those are ballistic missiles, can they even hit a moving target? Besides, if it comes to it, after sinking an aircraft carrier the US Congress would have no choice but a full declaration of war. That means SLBMs engaged (ie Tridents) before surrender, it would be the end of the world.

I rephrased what you were saying to take out the negative valence.

This is similar to other articles I've seen that draw a distinction between two choices: zero javascript vs full SPA. I think this is a false dichotomoy because most features advertised for SPAs (analytics, data/content preloading, transitions, optimized page loading) can be implemented for static sites as well. It would be nice to see frameworks that were more modular and interoperable because this would allow/give engineers the choice to decide which parts they want to be static and which parts they want to be dynamic.

I'm not sure if I agree with what you're saying though because you haven't provided examples of how the features of SPAs can be accomplished without JavaScript. Do you have references and examples?
An easier way to achieve this using a raspberry pi would be to simply have the pi press the right button on the garage remote. I took a pass at this a few years ago. Compared to messing with larger electronics, it’s a much easier setup.

It's true for pretty much anything. You will never get any rights/freedoms if you don't demand. No freedom/right has ever been granted by the grace of the people in power.

I've seen it first hand in LGBT rights over the last 20 years. Angering a small part of the population exposed their alien nature to the majority, so the majority of people pick the "nicer side".

Usually when I see somebody arguing against object-oriented programming, I don't see them arguing for functional programming, but instead arguing for procedural (like Cobol, Basic, or Pascal) programming. What they usually miss is that there's a reason procedural programming was abandoned some time around the mid-90's, and for good reason: you can't realistically develop useful software in pure-procedural way without introducing a lot of global state. Even if you look at well-designed non-OO code like, say the Linux kernel, you'll see that there are object oriented concepts like information hiding and polymorphism all over the place; they just don't formalize them with the "class" or "private" keywords. Unfortunately, what I see most programmers do is give up on OO design (and never even consider FP) and instead create global state that they call "singletons" to pretend that they didn't just create a global variable. Because, as we all know, global variables are bad, but too few of us actually remember why.

I have been working on https://bifocalnews.com -- a news feed that scrapes political subreddits. This allows for a democracy-driven news feed with explicit bias stated for each article.

Government needs to direct some of the fruits of globalization to invest in America. Individual large companies, even if big, do not have the incentive to invest in long-term and nebulous things like education for America.
I think this is pretty fair. You can see people still did social distancing without gov't shutting down businesses, yet it did see an uplift in deaths compared to neighbors hit at the same time.

The proclamations of complete disaster were wrong at the very least. I think this soft reopening is where America is headed no matter where we are on the "reopening checklist" targets governors have set up. They will simply run out of time as fewer and fewer hospitalizations occur and people favor ending lockdowns.
> Pre-WW1 style national pride and competition for markets and raw materials is back with a vengeance it seems

I don't think those are the reasons, they are consequences. The reason, in my opinion, is just money. Your income depends on your job and the success of your company, which largely depends on the economy at large and, in case of large powers, on their world-wide power projection. People understand this instinctively, it's pure tribal behavior.

I believe most world-politics interpretation is just motivated reasoning, and you can change somebody's worldview by making them the beneficiary of a trust that's invested in whatever country they dislike. When they draw dividends from their enemy's success, they'll come to see them in a different light.
I've been recently writing a lot of code in the ECS style https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity_component_system and I'm a fan. It allows me to concentrate on shit without getting distracted. Code tends to be clustered together with other related things as opposed to having to jump between files and classes and trying to figure out what's getting called.

The only downside is that it's not as popular in main stream and there aren't like ECS first languages.

However I believe that there is a reason ECS has been dominating in the game industry for the last 20 years. It's very flexible, fast and works nicely with the GPUs.

"There’s a version of America and its food consumption habits that existed three months ago that might never exist again. Some might feel entitled to getting that back. Others will find something new to want."

Feeling or acting entitled towards anything (food, money, etc) only leads to disappointment. And I say that as a frequent consumer of all types of meat. Maybe it's time for some forced change, mother nature style?

It seems like there's something deficient in the way we tell the story of the history of software architecture (to the extent we tell a story at all) in terms of the name-brand techniques and technologies involved, rather than in the actual layout and organization of actual codebases.

For a while I've assumed that OOP as in C++/Java essentially formalized modular programming in C. In other words, that people were already writing programs whose state was divided into functional areas, with some functions serving as the interfaces between the modules. With a class-based system you can rigidly formalize this; and then OOP as we use the term essentially just reinterprets this formalization as actually creating the architectural paradigm that had already evolved as programs grew.

(This is NOT meant as the one way to sum up the whole world of things identified as or related to "object-oriented programming".)

But I wasn't around at the time...

The Babylonian Base-60 also obviously survives in a lot of circle measurements: degrees, minutes:seconds. While the metric system has mostly moved on to radians, metric proponents (and esp. the French Revolution) failed to find a base-10 time system that people could agree on that matches the convenience of Base-60 minutes:seconds.
Thought this should be on here, was surprised it wasn't already. Many seem to see this as suicide from a business standpoint, I'm genuinely wondering what Sony will do. I would love for them to take a stand, but as always it's the little people who will be hurt by this no matter what.

>Everyone in the US has to own and maintain a car.

More than 90% of American households already have a car. Many of the rest want them, and just can't afford it (either because of their own income or the scarcity of parking where they live).

>More drivers, more deaths.

True relative to staying home. Used to be true relative to public transit. May not be anymore, since public transit got a lot more dangerous.

>Further sprawl, growing infrastructure costs, higher taxes.

Americans love their sprawl. The only reason it's not infinite is that at some point it gets counterbalanced by commute time. It's not clear that commuting is ever coming back on the scale we had before; remote or mostly-remote workers will, by and large, live even farther from population centers.

>Further decline of spontaneous interactions in the US.

Yes, that is an extremely compelling benefit and the explicit reason most people will seek it in a world newly cognizant of infectious disease risk.

I thought markdown tables used the pipe character as the delimiter between table columns.

Also, is not necessary to use excel, and a lot of the issues brought up in the article wouldn't be the case with a different delimiter character. Editors could easily be updated to make entering that delimiter character easier to enter by mapping it to a key like tab whenever a file like that is opened.

It just seems like a problem that could be solved, but can't be due to inertia.
A friend of me added support for sending Giphy animations to a school project 2 years ago. He finished that in 2 or 3 hours. The API is basically give us 1 word and we give you givs / jif's / jivs / gif's idk. I atleast I understand why developers want to use it.

For users it can be useless because they do not seam to understand multiple words and they do not have localized memes, so they for example don't understand dutch words and they don't have dutch memes.
