> This means you basically cannot release patch versions of your library because consumers cannot link against it if they have the old headers.

This is pretty much only a problem in C/C++ though. Everyone else is using static linking (which you can of course also do in C++), or a VM of some form. IMO relying on a library having stable ABI is a bit of anti-pattern. It's like relying on the implementation details of a function/class rather than it's API: sometimes it's necessary, but it should be avoided if possible.
Or course it is.

Where did we get the idea that engineers are hired to do only one thing?

This has never ever been the case in my experience.

Also Kafka being hard this manage is not the case. A simple look into many small companies and startups running their own clusters shows otherwise.

>A potential black-hat attacker could sit around and brainstorm a big list of potential vulnerabilities without going through to figure out if they exist and are exploitable. Then they can start submitting them, and if they get closed as duplicate, they can quickly dive into that one, figure out how to exploit it, and make use of it for nefarious purposes.

So long as there is a big of lag before confirmation (which, in practice, there already is), the vendor would know about the issue at least several days in advance of the black-hat even getting a hint and could hopefully patch it in that time.

For especially big holes, just take a bit longer than usual to get back to people until it's fixed.

In scenario 1, this is a Sabre rattling move, where Trump is hoping that the social media companies will allow his nonsense against the threat of more legal headaches from section 230 complaints and violations. This might happen.

In scenario 2, this backfires phenomenally against the very bullshit that Trump is trying to protect - the goal of section 230 seems to be enforcement of terms of service, and the first action of companies trying to enforce their terms against hate speech and lies will be to block Trump and his entire cohort.

Seems like a risky play, threatening someone with legal action if they don’t destroy you hoping that the threat will get them to stop destroying you.

This might also just the universe conspiring against Trump - he’s plugging OAN and Fox is slowly inching away from him, choosing to break on mask wearing. His Twitter soapbox now carries a bullshit warning on the stuff he says, his other platforms will follow, now that precedent has been set. The Democrats have chosen a nominee white enough to appeal to Trump supporters but black enough to have Obama in his corner. A black man was murdered by a MAGA cop, causing riots and police overreaction. There might not be an avalanche yet, but this is the scene where there’s a slight rumbling sound and everybody looks up at the mountain.

Haven't watched it in decades, so thanks for time references. The currency question is easy: in the USSR there was nothing other than Soviet Rubles. There was no other currency, dubious source or not, especially for a ботаник from a НИИ like Shurik. The thief scene here (https://youtu.be/a50qT9bW2Qo?t=856) shows what I assume are government bonds, not currency. My parents never had those and I've never seen them in person. Showing any kind of illegal currency manipulation was out of the question in a movie like this.

Sign of the blessing cross does not look too authentic to me, but orthodox blessing _is_ given with three closed fingers IIRC (I'm not a person of faith myself), to signify Trinity, as far as I understand.

"The sky is green"

"Actually, the sky is blue"

"That is political bullying! You're abusing your powers! This is oppression!"

My god, how insane we've gotten. Obviously I think I have my head screwed on right and can see right from wrong, but this belief about the self is also shared by Trump and every lunatic on Twitter and outside of it.

I guess civilization will die due to the effect noted by Dunning-Kruger.
Twitter's been arbitrarily censoring people for years, myself included (I lost my account of twelve years recently). That's bad, though you can make the argument that they're entitled to do so on their own website. However, that's not at all why this is happening.

Twitter didn't even censor the president, they just added a link below some lies he posted. He's been breaking their TOS habitually for some time and rather than ban him as they would anyone else, they made a special public TOS-exception for "newsworthy" bigwig public figures like him in their rules. The president gets to tweet things that would get you, a non-president, quickly banned from Twitter.[1] He's explicitly whitelisted as exempt from Twitter's usual control over twitter.com.

Now, the federal government is going to actually censor Twitter on his order, simply because they had the audacity to amend information to tweets from an account that they declined to suspend out of courtesy despite it breaking their rules for years.

I thought the lack of discussion of one of the more pressing matters of our time continues to be an expression of privilege for HN.

Perhaps there are ways that tech / vc / others here can help.
Most of the big ad companies/social media platforms see their curation of the content flow as a strategic asset because the curation is what lets them drive eyeballs to whatever pays.

So curation independent of the wishes of the user is a central feature, making this sound like platforms would become really responsible for moderating what they publish. Historically this has been seen as completely cray-cray by the platform owners and they've fought it off successfully so far.
Not sure if it is more fun to use as a desktop a machine without a normal SSD, questionable video hardware, incompatible with x86. It is certainly an interesting toy, but as a daily driver - nah.
I haven't. Do you mean setting up a 2nd computer to run native Linux as my main box and sending that stream over to Windows to record using a capture card? I was hoping to avoid such a set up because it makes things a lot more complicated and uses much more desk space. It does work tho, I've heard of gamers using that set up for streaming on Twitch.

I've looked into using a 2nd GPU and doing a pass-through with KVM which would let you run a Windows VM with effectively native performance. I'm sure that would be great for editing, but it's the recording the Linux environment outside of the VM that would be the issue. Audio is super sensitive with latency, even as little as 15ms of latency could be enough to kill an audio recording.

Needless to say that's why I'm striving to get DaVinci to work for the editing side of things. It would be so nice to avoid having to do any of the above and just use native Linux straight up with no VMs or secondary machine.
Which enjoys a high degree of unaccountability that other publishers don't have because they don't editorialise the content submitted by users. But if they start, and they started years ago, they should lose that protection.
On the face of it this seems to be a dangerous step towards the industry being coopted by the lunatic conspiratorial fringes and forced to spread their dangerous nonsense against our will. Not a game I'd be happy to play.
I need this! Thank you!
It's a mix of research from the web (and I don't mean copy & paste), questions I and others have asked, and my own experience with Nim. This is not simply copy/paste. The rest of the comment I won't even bother to address as you sound like a troll.

> [...] promises to protect your family from 5G, using ground-breaking quantum technology

My intuitive guess would be that for the target audience "ground-breaking quantum technology" would cause even more problems for their family than 5G. Interesting.
While I rather like nim as a language, there's a few more cons that need to be considered for any real use of the language:

- It has a bus/lottery factor of 1. The vast majority of all the changes were done by Araq and I have very little faith that the language would survive without him. This is even more pronounced with Zig (mentioned in comments here).

- It has had some very embarrassing bugs after the 1.0 milestone. Most of them were specific to Windows (e.g. [0]), which casts a lot of doubt on its cross-platform promise. Multiple times in the last year, when debugging a nim program, it turned out that the problem was in the language/standard library.

Now, these might not be reasons enough to not use nim, since it's a lovely language when it works, but a pro/con list should be honest.

You think Trump is demanding that Twitter appoint an editor to vet (and maybe fact check) all his tweets before publishing them, like a newspaper editor would?

I think that is not what Trump is asking for.
> The 1st amendment isn't the issue here.

From wikipedia[1] (my emphasis):

So under this kind of system would sites like HN/reddit be responsible for comments on posts if they edited/removed them?

If an HN admin removes a comment on a post, they've curated that discussion, effectively.
I don't buy this. If Clinton had won, she would have went after Facebook with tough regulations over Russians using that platform to influence the election. Both parties see Twitter and Facebook as a problem because they change the power landscape.

If you want to know what rules newspapers follow, ask a journalist about their laws and ethics rules and ask a lawyer about publisher rules. I can't give legal advice.
It tends to shut down plenty of left-wing folks too, you know. "I got banned from Twitter today" is practically a meme.
From my own experience as a pupil, teaching purely formal systems with no help in building the intuition of why the formal rules are what they are is a recipe for disaster. It invites thinking of mathematics as a game, and when you forget the rules, you tend to invent new ones.

My belief is that is exactly how you end up with students doing fraction addition as a/b + c/d = (a+c)/(b+d); or the infamous shepherd's age problem[0] - they forgot the actual rules, and picked a different rule that makes just as much sense to them.

And regarding analogies, I think that the best approach is to pick a real-world problem, and translate that into math, as a starting step for explaining the formal rules and building this intuition. Doing thing the other way around is much more likely to lead to contrived examples. But math rules have good intuitive reasons for existing, and explaining these as you introduce the rules is likely to help rather than hinder.

Of course, I wouldn't advocate for having students go back to the analogy while solving more advanced exercises with the rules that they have internalized. But having lots of exercises initially that try to drive home the intuition behind the rules is going to be very helpful in my opinion.

[0] "A shepherd has 25 goats and 53 sheep. How old is the shepherd?" A lot of kids will give you an answer: if they do, they will probably say that it's 25+53 or 53-25, since they may apply some common-sense reasoning after they "do the math", but at the wrong end of the problem.
Banning someone for violating the EULA is not political censorship.
Was it also a "transparent attempt" in 2008 as well? Or should Debbie be "fact checked" here? I'm getting all confused.
Admittedly, that is one big issue. But from a purely political angle, Trump is trying to control the narrative to increase chances of re-election. This narrative will have to include undercounted COVID-19 fatalities, and understated economic effects of the failure to contain the pandemic. It cannot work if it is presented side-by-side with best estimates of actual numbers. Suppressing these numbers is the obvious goal here and leveraging money and political power over the legal system are the means.
Yeah. There's a wordpress.com blog I frequently go back to and reference and the author passed away in 2014. Thanks to it being hosted on wordpress.com it will stay up there for the foreseeable future. Had it been relying on monthly payments for hosting and yearly payments for the domain it would probably have been down already by the time I realized he was no longer with us (some three months after the fact). And at that point, not all content would've probably been in archive.org and thus lost forever.

I also have a bunch of old blogs that I've just given up on at some point and now they're gone forever.

Your last point is kind of what archive.org's Wayback Machine does. Haven't checked whether they have an API where you can submit URL's you publish* or if you'd have to submit new posts manually, but this could be a decent solution. It wouldn't cover non-tech people though.

> Our used cars go for peanuts compared to used cars in the mainland for example.

I was somewhat intrigued by the use of the term mainland, but it certainly has some debate behind it: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/3652/how-to-refe...

Yes second hand cars in the UK are cheaper, factors being that there has been a consumer rise for a while, seeing more second hand cars. This with the island effect makes for dispersal of those second hand goods more curtailed and for example you may be able to get cheaper cars in Germany second hand if the geography curtailed those easily shifting to nearby countries who have had less of a consumer drive.

Which is why my friend in Bulgaria will buy a second hand car in the UK, drive it back, sell it for twice what he paid for it. Then in Bulgaria Walnut wood is about 1/5th of the price of what it demands in the UK. But most opportunities in life are going the extra mile.

Yes UK is still technically an EU member during the transition period. How exporting/importing of cars pans out, well as long as the we don't end up with trade loop-holes - then I'll be happy and by that. Say EU has import tax of 30% on UK cars, new or second hand. Yet no such taxes for imports from say canada. Then the UK has no tax import on cars from UK to canada, so would be possible to export to Europe, via Canada to skirt such import taxes.
That kinda thing worries me as environmentally, not good. But could happen.

All I do know though is that the current trade negotiations seem like a Monty Python playbook:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK0cUv3ba-o

I’m curious: why do many people continue to use the trailing slash in many places? As far as HTML parsers are concerned, it’s completely useless. (On HTML tags, that is. It’s still significant on MathML and SVG tags.) Doesn’t seem to me that it will help authors to understand what’s going on, either—if anything, it muddies the waters so that people will think that you can close tags that way (you can’t).
Can actually demonstrate thay this effect of " raising prices because people can afgord it" has ever happened?

Why does the federal government miss the ball Every. Single. Time?

Twitter censoring conservatives wouldn't be a big deal if Twitter had more competitors. America keeps on saying it's committed to free and open markets. Why doesn't it make one here?

Break up Twitter. Or make them open up their protocols. Or whatever. I don't care. Just promote competition. Enough of these quasi-fascist state regulated oligopolies run and reaped by 1-3 companies while the rest of us stand in the bread lines. It's not the American way, not the democratic way, not the capitalist way, and I'm sick of it.
Why would they be "skeeved out"? This makes no business sense whatsoever.
> second hand systems with an i7/i5, 8Gb RAM and an SSD go for around/over $200 not $85.

Are you looking for broken screens? If not, $200 sounds reasonable enough to me.
In the First Amendment, the government is not allowed to either promote or attack speech. The courts have ruled that some speech, such as hate speech, does not have this protection. Just by deciding whether or not the government will spend ad-money on a platform or not, based solely on what is said on the platform, is one form of the government either rewarding or punishing that platform. I can't comment on the platform protections at the moment.

I'm going to say I believe the courts will block this, but it will look good to Trump's base in an election year.
Do people really not see through this transparent attempt at distraction?

Twitter already arbitrarily approves, edits, and removes content. It seems like he wants the FCC to treat them like a publisher.

Personally I hope twitter does ban Trump, but not for the same reasons I suspect you do. Not because I believe he has violated a nebulous and subjective "hate speech" policy, not be cause I believe "Trump lies" and all Democrats are pure virtue and sunshine (which is largely the opinion of the twitterverse)

No I hope they do, because Trump will select another platform, and that Platform will see a HUGE boost and hopefully start to crack the foundation of the Silicon Valley social media oligopoly

I want to see a return to Open Protocols, and Federated Communications, not 4 or 5 companies controlling most human communications

This is actually much more far reaching. Websites modify user content all the time. For example, if you post link on Twitter, you don't decide thumbnails. Another example, appending an ad or "fact check" link are modifications of user's original content. Technically, if you change your website's theme or design in future, you modified all of user content as well.
But they are not censoring the president.
Well 1mn usd of PR damage is not a big problem when you have 100bn usd plus annual revenue. But for an individual employee it’s a bad reputation hit.
All social media sites effectively curate content by dictating what is allowed on the platform and what is not, and removing content which doesn't meet those requirements.

This isn't just about facebook and twitter, it's about every site that allows user generated content, reddit, Hacker News, Instagram, heck even Stack Exchange counts, I'd imagine.
Great idea, but who's gonna fund it?
