>Their commitment is squarely to mitigating issues that threaten the walled garden (and therefore the kernel), not so much userspace.

As a practical matter, doesn't this mean if I'm confident in my ability to avoid phishing messages, iOS is better?

Anything that "roots" a phone can also run roughshod, turn on my mic, grab signal messages stored locally, etc, correct?

What I'm getting at is a phone in a walled garden + a laptop that's open source might be the best way to get the security of the walled garden and the utility of open source.

Pis are great, but I can't count how many times I've seen a raspberry pi stuck in an application where its strengths have no value and its limitations have severe consequences. The "$100/hr developer waiting for a $5 computer to finish being slow" is a classic. Bonus points for "laggy $5 kiosk in a $1MM expo outing." The most damage probably comes from semi-permanent customer-facing installs where the pi gets to inflict misery on every person passing through.

Articles like this help "responsibly consume" the raspberry pi, and that's something we can all benefit from.
My gut instinct is that the “abolish the police” crowd, however you define it, got much louder after the violent reprisals. My belief is that a lot of cops attacked when the protests were more about anger over police brutality in general and George Floyd’s murder in particular, which hints to an even darker motivation than keeping their jobs.

And if they thought brutal reprisals were a good plan to keep their jobs ... oh boy. They did not plan that out well. The level of sudden radicalization against the police has been breath taking.
I think I took them from a big ViM cheatsheet somewhere.
How is your comment related to the R Pi article?
I can understand why that's annoying, but I asked how you would feel if your answer was incorrect. Do virtual points matter more than helping people find useful answers?

> Google lacks a desktop OS and an iMessage equivalent, for example

Nitpicking, but Chrome OS is a desktop OS, and Google has had at least 7 things similar to iMessage.

On topic, fron my perspective when I was working somewhere that got bug reports from project zero, it was great. I mean, not great that we had the bug they found first, or the follow-up bug they found after we fixed that one; but great that they were clear problems that we could solve. If we didn't want to be written up, we could have done better to begin with, and taken more care in looking around when the first bug was reported.
It will sound harsh, but people who can't up their game from C++98 to C++11, are probably not a people that I would consider hiring anyway. Generally, personally I would not hire anyone that knows just one programming language that they've learned in University and for years didn't manage to practice anything else, but that's just me.

I actually worked in Automotive, and the software higher level up the stack there is usually god damn awful piece of s*, often done by people who have almost no clue what they are doing, with plenty of misconceptions about how C/C++ even really works (using `volatile` for concurrency/atomicity and stuff like that). They are just beating their spaghetti code from segfault to segfault for decades.

This and slow delivery process easily explains why entertainment, navigation and other software-driven part of mainstream cars are so buggy, slow and generally terrible, and why Tesla could have so easily deliver way better experience.

So it doesn't matter that some people can't "get into Rust". The business that hire them will be replaced if they can't up their game, that's all.
There won't be a vaccine within a reasonable timeframe. Improved treatment maybe.

Ask HN: Is working as a developer on technical route until retirement feasible?
I'm in my mid 30s and has been working in the software industry for the past 16 years. I'm a Lead Engineer at the moment and I've tried jobs as architects previously and didn't enjoy it. I still love writing code, learning new tech/tooling/stack and doing hands-on technical implementation. However, at some point it seems that everyone at my stage is moving into management or higher level positions doing project management, meetings, architectural discussions (mostly meetings), etc. which I really don't enjoy doing. Has anyone here work as a technical guy until retirement and can share your experience if you have any regrets?

Thanks.
> They've told me that being treated as "superior"...

You've mistaken an example for the concept. I chose the example to show that we have so much choice in how we interpret actions that can easily make the same action imply intentions that are polar opposites. I didn't choose it as an example of a positive interpretation. The point is that the interpretation of an action is separate from the action which itself is separate from the intention behind the action.

> You're right, but saying "ladies first" makes many women feel patronized - not a good thing.

Do you think I don't also talk to women about their feelings? Your comment comes across as patronizing. It suggests women lack emotional maturity and they need you to speak for them.

Object to an action on its merits, not on your perceived view of how women feel.

> I'd say to those people: even if you learned that "ladies first" is good manners, that doesn't mean it still is.

This is how some types of abusive relationships play out:

1. Interpret a behavior in the worst possible way.

2. Feel badly about it.

3. Blame the other person.

4. Demand some type of behavior from the other person so you don't feel badly.

I think there would be some merit in objecting to "ladies first" as sexist. It is inherently sexist, although not necessarily misogynistic. (Holding a door open, on the other hand, is not sexist per se.) But objecting to "ladies first" based on third hand accounts of someone's interpretation of another person's intent is weak, convoluted, and utterly unconvincing.

Edit: List formatting.
> ... and as a business losing $20 a month is better than losing a customer.

This is some serious MBA-speak right here. Losing $20 a month is worse than losing a customer. The only time there's a difference is when you're looking to capture enough market in an unsustainable way so that you can paint a good picture for someone dumb enough to acquire you to try to shut down competition.

If you're well-capitalized, then this is just a straightforward monopolization tactic; if you're not well-funded, this is just gaming the numbers so that a well-capitalized monopolist can come in and use you to play the same game.

If you're a company that is trying to be successful and make money, then you're better off using this as a signal about your pricing.
Incorrect.

Turing completeness means using the syntax of your favorite programming language is "merely" a matter of writing the appropriate program.

What GP is proposing is completely impractical, of course. But not unreasonable, and certainly not impossible.
Yes we are an Agency, so we are fortunately able to choose the stack, but still have to convince (it hopefully gives us an edge on pricing). It’s a reality clients are looking for buzzwords because that’s what they hear and they want industry standard, cannot blame them. From what I see in our niche what we are choosing to do is the exception, so indeed I imagine it must be hard as a contractor to find simple stacks to work on.
I think anything more than a minor citation is probably not achievable, and even that might be bad.

Given the current state of policing in America, the idea of leaning on the police to enforce mask rules is personally unpalatable.

Go ahead. Focus on the extreme outliers. 98% of America can afford to buy a book. I would guess that 90% of America spend more at Starbucks than they do at a bookstore. Yeah, that's their choice, but it proves they can afford it.

Heck. Most of the panhandlers make enough in change in an hour to afford a Kindle Single.

Please. Don't pretend to care for the small fraction of America that is in bad financial shape. You're just using them to justify your theft.

Just because you can change the lenses on your camera, doesn't mean you have to. There are zoom lenses with pretty extreme ranges that are even pretty compact like the Olympus 14-150mm and slightly pricier 12-200mm for Micro Four-Thirds. Now, I have a soft spot in my heart for MFT, realistically, it's a system that probably doesn't have too much of a future unfortunately (though not currently defunct at the time of this writing).

If you're more concerned about the future of the system than compactness, there are full frame superzoom lenses like the 18-400mm from Tamron (for Canon EF or Nikon mounts). One of the big benefits of interchangeable lens systems is not necessarily the ability to collect a bunch of glass and swap it out constantly (that's more of risk actually), but rather to figure out the glass that suits the shooting you do and use that. When I was getting started, I bought a bunch of different primes, and it took me a while to settle down, but since I got the Canon L-series standard zoom (1993 vintage), it's just the lens that's on my camera that I use all the time.

> I have not confirmed this but I have been told the regexp portion is tightly controlled by Google, more than most parts of the spec. When v8's regexp implementation is found to deviate from the spec, the spec gets changed. This makes sense (why risk breaking websites), but it illustrates how little weight the regexp spec actually has.

A few responses:

1. This was not at all my experience working with the V8 team. For example, when I noticed that Irregexp did not properly implement the Canonicalize algorithm for non-unicode case-insensitive comparisons [1], they were happy to accept my patches [2][3]. Nobody ever suggested changing the spec.

2. Nothing changes in the JS spec without consensus from all the major stakeholders. See, for example, the second sentence in the TC39 process document here [4]: "The committee operates by consensus and has discretion to alter the specification as it sees fit." Mozilla can block (and has blocked) proposals that it feels are bad for the web platform. Google has no special power to bend the committee to its will.

3. Another way of saying "when V8's regexp implementation is found to deviate from the spec, the spec gets changed" is "when the spec is found to deviate from the consensus of implementations, we correct the spec". The Chakra team's post notes: "In practice, all browsers accept regular expressions such as `/]/` and web developers write them." The purpose of the spec is to make the web work better by maximizing compatibility between implementations. In cases where all implementations agree, and real websites depend on that behaviour, the spec should change to match reality.

Don't get me wrong: Chromium monoculture is a real problem. If we thought that Google was going to add a bunch of new regexp features without going through the standards process, or if we had plans to prototype regexp features that we feared Google wouldn't accept upstream, we might have made a different decision. But regexps are not a plausible battleground, and the compatibility benefits of sharing code outweigh the harms.

PS: regress looks really sweet, and I am excited to see how it turns out.

The study didn't say anything about Tinder.

However, your theory doesn't hold up. The study found that men who had part time employment, no employment, or were students were more likely to be sexually inactive. There isn't any data that suggests that those men are only using Tinder and failing or anything else you described.

If you define inequality in terms of employment or wealth, you may be right, but that does indeed still suggest the culprit is hypergamy actually as women select men with better employment prospects.

The term "concatenative language" fits better for adaptations of Forth that also discard major semantics of Forth. There is a holistic quality to Forth that results in a lot of idioms that are not obvious, and concatenative systems that deviate from the whole tend to fall into an unexplored territory.

For example, in CASE ... OF ... ENDOF ... ENDCASE, the input value is consumed when OF is entered. But this means that the default result, positioned before ENDCASE, has to move the input value to the top of stack so that it can be consumed before the result. The examples in the ANS standard prefer using >R ... R> as a scratchpad for this purpose, so that any number of results may be pushed into the data stack, while the input is moved onto the result stack and then pushed back to the data stack. But the whole existence of the return stack and words that use it is a curious detail that doesn't come up if you start from an RPN calculator instead of a complete Forth system. Someone writing a RPN system in an applicative language, upon seeing this semantic, might be tempted to beef up the syntax rather than add this idiom. And in Forth this idea likely was only arrived at through the numerous iterations Moore made to achieve better expression in fewer words, since the return stack is useful everywhere.
Right... it’s a solution for folks who have this existing knowledge. The aim I guess is to transition folks to non-keyboard devices for navigating the UI...

One issue not yet mentioned with Turing complete language at compile is that it makes tooling and IDE integration much more difficult.

When you need to run an unbounded program each time you want to provide real time feedback, like type inference or in Rust case lifetime inference, you make the language tooling much less simple and accessible.

What social norms are really changing that are so very overwhelming? The only really changing social norm is wider acceptance of different lifestyles and people, and if it takes some people serious bandwidth to process the golden rule, maybe these people really should be sitting out on the outset of society for better or worse.

It seems harsh, but I see a lot of people externalize all their personal issues on perceived societal changes outside of their control, when really the the only change happening to society is the expectation that you treat everyone with equal respect.
Incel communities absent moderation devolve quickly into hate for women, imaginary "facts", and veneration for acts of terrorism and murder.

This resonates with me with teams inside the company as well.

We have a few teams that just deflect issues. Find any issue in the bug report, be it an FQDN in a log search, and poof it goes. Back to sender, don't care. Engineers in my team just don't care to report bugs there anymore, regardless how simple. Usually, it's faster and less frustrating to just work around it or ignore it. You could be fighting windmills for weeks, or just fudge around it.

Other teams, far more receptive with bugs.. engineers end up curious and just poke around until they understand what's up. And then you have bug reports like "Ok, if I create these 57 things over here, and toggle thing 32 to off, and then toggle 2 things indexed by prime numbers on, then my database connection fails. I've reproduced this from empty VMs. If 32 is on, I need to toggle two perfect squares on, but not 3". And then a lot of things just get fixed.
