I'm British and also living in Vietnam currently, and this has also been my experience. Also, if I'm in Thailand all the Google search results are returned with timestamps converted to Buddhist calendar years. Genius.

Is it unreasonable of me to be less tolerant of this brokenness when it comes from companies with all the money in the world, and also all the highest paid developers in the world?

Imagine being able to invert a binary tree on a whiteboard, but not being able to follow a basic HTTP specification. Insane.

Alemada County is alright by California standards, but is the worse performing Bay Area county (hospitalizations are flat for a month, rather than dropping like its neighbors). And 33 a day for 1.6m people is actually on the high side by northern California standards. (As a point of comparison, Santa Clara is at about 15 a day for 1.9 million)
Good effort. How do I know these are valid entries ?
> [the absence of a package manager was] a big part of why web applications took off in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Of course apt-get is very convenient but I can't see a Microsoft version of it letting companies deliver multiple daily updates.

Based on my experience of the time the reasons were, in random order

- HTML GUIs were less functional but easier to code and good enough for most problems

- we could deploy many times per day for all our customers

- we could use Java on the backend and people didn't have to install the JVM on their PCs

- it worked on Windows and Macs, palmtops (does anybody remember them?) and anything else

- it was very easy to make it access our internal database

- a single component inside the firewall generates the GUI and accesses the db instead of a frontend and a backend, which by the way is the modern approach (but it costs more and we didn't have the extra functionality back then, js was little more than cosmetic)

I recently had to upgrade my RAM because I have Spotify and Slack open all the time. Today RAM is cheap but it is crazy those programs take up so much resources.

Another program I use a lot is Blender (3D software). Compared to Spotify and Slack it is a crazy complicated program with loads of complicated functionalities. But it starts in a blink and only uses resources when it needs to (calculations and your 3D model).

So I absolutely agree with you.

I also think it has to do with the fact that older programmers now more about the cost of resources than younger programmers do. We used computers without harddisk and KBs of RAM. I always have this in my mind while programming.

The younger programmers may be right that resources don't matter much because they are cheap and available. But now I had to upgrade my RAM.
Autocad still allows all of that, and, in my opinion, a lot of its success is derived from that. Even Autocad clones have a Lisp repl.

Thank you for explaining. It’s weird because it seems the overall sentiment with this move is negative on Qualcomm; perhaps because of the short term loses.
This is awesome, configurable RSS feeds are critical for large-scale publishing platforms, thanks for sharing!
Surprisingly many sites also change the content and layout of the site completely. Nvidia for instance turns from a site with company news and a clear path to download your drivers on the US site, to essentially an online store as it defaults to Swedish. The link to download drivers is then moved from the top of the site to the very bottom, where a link to the UK download site is discretely placed.
The idea is very important, though. How the article explains it is another thing.
The way I see it, it's not about you and me, but humanity. Humanity needs to step forth from Earth, to avoid future destruction. Until humanity is space-faring and multi-planetary, it is vulnerable to total erasure.
I run a problem validation forum[1] where I'm experimenting with the karma system; one can donate karma to 'Down Vote' but not for an 'Up Vote'.

'Up Vote' privileges requires minimal karma(2), 'Down Vote' privileges are rather high(20).

Karma is visible only to the owner and the moderators.

Rationale being, people shouldn't be discouraged to post their problems however small or trivial it may sound and others to share possible ideas to solve that problem or existing solutions without any prejudice.

Ofcourse this raises the issue of people not willing to part their karma to maintain forum sanctity, but as of now that's manageable when compared to discouragement from down votes.

I think I overstated my "no profit incentive".

I think people need ownership and the potential for profit in order to innovate. I am no advocating for communism or the removal of private property. I think private property is necessary for all sorts of other human rights.

But private property and a profit incentive existed in the middle ages. There were guilds, and trademen, and yeomen, and all sorts of people making a profit and trading in capital. My issue with the industrial revolution is that exploitative capitalism replaced most other forms of exploitation. Yes, you could argue that serfs were exploited. But there were obligations that came with being a landowner and a lord. The industrial revolution paved the way for exploitation without obligations. Can't do the work anymore? Well, say goodbye to a house since you can't pay rent, food because you don't have money, etc. At least there was a level of security afforded by community living and living off the land. The total output of a household or town was enough to pay satisfy the year's quota, none of this week to week rent seeking.

I don't think comparing the USSR to the middle ages is accurate then in this sense. And I think that had the industrial revolution not happened, we could very well have seen a similar increase in technological development. But I suppose it's one of those things we'll only ever be able to speculate about. One thing is for sure: the exploitative capitalism that we have today in many countries needs to change. And I believe there are better solutions than communism. Distributism for instance, with elements of Georgism (also posted about on the front page of HN today funnily enough) would be a good place to start.

Yes. so? Just because you and I know that windows update is awful in comparison to package managers on linux doesn't mean everyone does.
Sounds like you got scammed by the cab driver.
That makes no sense. All the kids are in very close proximity.
this is actually one of the problems I have with the theory that everything is conscious. The electron, like the company, is actually an abstraction and part of a model. We don't even really know if an electron is 'a thing in itself'. Maybe everything is just strings or quarks, or some other smaller particle or just the manifestation of some field (sorry I'm not a physicist in case I'm butchering the analogy).

Even every individual human could be said to be some sort of zoo of 'conciousnesses'. Panspychism posits that consciousness is essentially smeered across the universe like a sort of paste, and if consciousness applies down the ladder I don't see why it doesn't apply upwards.
Yes. I used Yandex Taxi in Kazakhstan. I don't speak Kazakh nor Russian, but was able to get around in Almaty that way.

I have done the same with Uber in Poland, and with countless services in Germany before I learned German.

I really appreciate consuming a service at my pace, especially when there is a language barrier, a large order or alcohol involved.
Thanks, I appreciate your effort to encourage productive conversation.

Thinking about this more, I'm surprised this couldn't be caught when the items got delivered to Amazon. I find it extremely unlikely that a picking robot accidentally found an item with the same barcode if they weren't already in the wrong place.

Seems like when the items arrived at the fulfilment centre, they got mis-scanned and ended up comingled. Presumably that's the stage where you can check weight and volume - eg does this item fit with the known dimensions.

This check must be made somewhere otherwise people wouldn't bother returning high value electronics with rocks inside (presumably someone does a cursory check of weight before the inventory gets comingled again).
Thanks for the suggestion. Looks very interesting, but a bit expensive. Looking to see if there is a trial somewhere...
Agreed, but what else is there for simple formatting like headings, bold, underline, img? I had to go with markdown because I could not find anything else out there.
Couchsurfing was such a magical experience for me. I was a bit lonely in a new city and went along to a party hosted by another CouchSurfing host. I made two lifelong friends and got to know another wonderful group of creative & kind people.

I probably hosted 10 times and stayed with people about the same. Each time it was such a wonderful experience - by far the best way of traveling when I was in my 20s. Truly an amazing exercise in trust, as well as building experience of the kindness of strangers (with memorable adventures).

> The easiest way to get Jenkins deployed on Kubernetes Cluster (we are using a dedicated cluster for Jenkins, but that’s not necessary) is to build your own Helm chart

barf So much of this post I disagree with. I guess I should look at the kubernetes plugin again, but I abandoned using it last year. At the time, it seemed like you had to declare you base images in the plugin configuration itself, and if people launch things that need to spin up their own containers for tests, you have to expose the base docker socket.

They post talks about using Docker-in-Docker, but that still has to run in privileged mode, and isn't recommended. At least you don't get dangling containers, but you don't really block developer access to the host.

> Mount a persistent volume to /var/lib/docker to make sure your layers are cached persistently for awesome build performance.

Do you want data corruption? Because that's pretty much how you get data corruption. It's not clear if they have a single Docker-in-docker instance per volume, but I assume you'd have to.

Also, and maybe I need to revisit this, when I attempted this, it seemed like the Jenkinsfile had to be heavily modified to run on k8s agents. It wasn't a simple transition at all.

And you pretty much do want a dedicated cluster for this. That was another issue, where at the time we only had one dev and one prod cluster. We now have a cluster just for platform stuff, so it might be worth looking at again, but I'm still hesitant.
No, individuals would just carry on and everyone would get sick immediately. How can you be so short sighted? This is not about your pathetic sex life or whatever, this is about other people in the rest of society besides yourself.

Pretty much this. Your "consciousness" is nothing but neural activity in your own brain. By definition, it cannot appear anywhere else but your brain.

> Both VS Code and Atom use significant amounts of WebAssembly and low level libraries to achieve that performance.

Atom has some internal data structures written in C++. VSCode uses a native executable to do the file search, but no further low level magic is used to make it go fast.

I don't think any of them are using WebAssembly yet.
I cut this deal with my neighborhood Italian restaurant!

I texted the owner about being miffed they hadn’t told me they were on DoorDash. He replied. They aren’t. We compared pricing, and found the prices advertised are way off from what the restaurant charges.

So I placed a $5,000 order to the neighbourhood homeless shelter. DoorDash paid him over $20,000, and I get free pasta for the rest of the year. (My neighbours have also partaken.)

Glad to know it’s scaling. SoftBank has assembled a unique concentration of stupidity for itself.
For many schools, football subsidizes all sports, even after paying the coaches and staff. And for a lot of schools, football pays for scholastics. You'd be hard pressed to find a school that pays a coach out of line financially.
The global currency thing is much more down to having the largest economy. The weapons don't matter much for that. I mean Russia has some cool weapons and how many people use rubles globally? The weapons may be worth it for keeping the world kind of peaceful though.
We really need a true crisis. Free market economy needs to let such companies to buncrupt. Lesson must be learned.

It is interesting to read this. So let me say something as someone:

- who is respecting isolation

- been in depression for a decade and have been in 8 or 9 sessions of counseling

Shut up! You are being so selfish that I can not imagine. The only reason I am not moving is because if I learn that I caused even one person to die by being asymptomatic - my life will completely derail.

I have killed exactly 1 cat under my running car once (8 years back) and I still remember that incident when I could not act fast enough, it brings me into tears sometimes even now.

The emotional burden will break my life into pieces. Depression my ass man, you have no clue what these mental issues are and to live with consequences.

> These sorts of costs are not cheap, but they are necessary.

If tomorrow the government decided that every university would have to fund itself on half its current budget would universities cease to exist or would they just be different.

I'd say the latter. I'd agree they're necessary to how a college functions today, but not necessary to what we think of as the core functions that make a university a university.
Yup, and it’s so ironic that the Rebel heroes are a ragtag collection of desert-dwellers led by warrior priests of a religious sect.

I suspect you're only counting discretionary spending, when you should be counting all federal government spending, as important programs like Medicare are non-discretionary. Overall, the military is less than 20 percent of federal spending in the US.
I personally like roger penrose's theory (hypothesis?) of orchestrated objective reduction of consciousness (Orch-OR). He stipulates that in evolution of the quantum state of a system the collapse of wave function IS a form of proto-consciousness. Essentially the he is saying that WF collapse is how a system becomes 'aware' of the choice and consciousness emerges from there onwards. A Brain of sufficient/right complexity is a connectionist structure that is responsible for perceiving and/or translating it.

What he's missing is the agent responsible for incorporating in the human/animal brain but some interesting candidates have come forwards like microtubules in neurons. But it is all highly speculative, though, there have been some advances in proving that biology is not too wet-warm-noisy for quantum state to persist without decoehrence for instance.. photosynthesis.
Yikes. Mask really coming off here.

I hope those of us that didn't go to MIT like you have a place in this society.
The issue there was collection of massive amounts of public data by Facebook. Open data APIs can be used to build nice things, if the data isn't user information.
Aw, that's so great! It really warms my heart to hear about all the magical Couchsurfing experiences everyone's had. The kindness of strangers is such an amazing thing, isn't it?

More seriously. Windows does not prevent me from using Win32 so no need to use ReactOS and I did not ever have a single customer complaint about not using UWP/.NET/WinRT/Whatever tech. So in my areas of business where it concerns desktop apps that "warm feeling" means zilch fro a practical standpoint.
What should I do if I have different markets? Should I translate all the markets to all languages?

In my experience, the problem is different. Company X does not want to translate into different languages, different markets. For example: Apple, Microsoft, Samsung. Amazon video. If you want to see German available products or prices, it have to be in German.
The problem is that this system will gradually mean that people who get to vote entrench their privilege and keep out others who do not get to vote. Gradually, you'll have a permanent underclass of people who have never known voting. The effects of unequal schooling etc will be even worse than they are today and politicians will have no incentive to even consider people who can't vote.

Quote: "The Service’s memo suggests the crime ring is operating in much the same way as crooks who specialize in filing fraudulent income tax refund requests with the states and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a perennial problem that costs the states and the U.S. Treasury hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue each year."

A perennial! problem, hundreds of millions each year. It blows my mind how 80+ years later SSN is still used as identity, far beyond its original purpose. I mean with only one year of those losses US gov. could easily adopt something better.
Also, society stands in the way of progress. You can’t have both. Progress and no-profits.
I don't think we can call the current system something different until the ideology of the middle class changes. (I think in society, the power of upper class over middle class is maintained by ideology, while power over lower class is maintained by force).

There is still by and large belief in meritocracy and American dream. Contrast that with feudalism, people in the middle class had the ideology of the divine, unchanged order.

So I think the future is still open because it will crucially depend on what ideology will be taken by middle classes. They might as well adopt a social democratic ideology again, as the did in the reaction to late 19th century capitalism in the Europe and U.S.
