I don't know about Columbus in particular, but most famous people like him have people from different countries continuously edit warring over which country gets to "claim" him. I'll check the talk page ... yep, half the talk is arguing about this.

(As an American, I find this phenomenon extremely silly and very foreign feeling. I don't really care whether "my" ancestors get credit for something or not, especially given that national boundaries and people move around all the time. I find it vaguely nationalistic in the ugly sense. Maybe it's because there were plenty of great Americans who were clearly not born here in the first place?)
Ornery and irritable - not really that technology moved on, but mostly for what could have been but wasn't.

Additionally, bemusement - watching people go crazy over Reddit and Slack, when all I can see is glitzy, more newbie-friendly, centralized incarnations of Usenet and IRC.

Don't even get me started with Facebook (though, I hear FB isn't even popular with today's kids - rather, it's that thing old people use.)
Their cloud company must be pretty shitty if they can't even figure out how to put up a website, even a static site on github pages or something.

>Don't these companies usually end up failing though?

Not always, it's of course in the VC's interest to push the company forward and secure further VC rounds. You could have a failed initial product but play the "product market fit" or Pivot game essentially until you run out of money or find something that sticks. You can easily raise money as an AI startup with lots of hype only to be shipping a half baked marketing platform a few years later and still raise more money from VCs.
Why are you point commitments from planning so high? Sounds like they are 25% - 30% higher than they should be.
Here is Spain was one of the strictest.
The Vatican owns more than 71,659,919 hectares of land around the world, mostly in prime areas of cities. A single hectare in London is worth 7 or 8 million dollars alone. Then there's the massive amounts of gold, buildings, art, etc on top. I can believe the Vatican itself, as in the tiny city state in Italy, is worth $1bn, but the Catholic Church owns hundreds of billions of dollars worth of assets. If they evaluated it all at just $1bn then they lied.
It's not just using JSON as a wire format, it's overloading HTTP verbs and status codes as part of your protocol.

HTTP verbs and status codes map fairly cleanly to CRUD and, more generally, the "state transfer" paradigm. For generic RPC, though? Tends to get quite a bit messier.
"That's the problem. Statues don't kill. Flags don't kill. Cops kill."

And Americans shoot at each other and Cops at a rate >10x than Europe.

The misrepresentation in your comment, is that it doesn't account for the differing conditions the cops face.

'Cops kill' -> 'People who shoot at cops get killed'.

This isn't to say police violence is not a problem, but it's misrepresented by all of this narrative.

If Americans were not carrying guns everywhere, this would be an entirely different conversation.
Obviously landlords and businesses will lose out because of the decision to go fully online. They might anyway, since there wouldn't be any requirement I'm aware of that the student visa holders would have to stay near a school they were merely logging into. They could spend their semesters anywhere in the country in theory.

But surely even if the foreign students are forced to leave the US they'll stay enrolled in (and paying for) the classes. Isn't the education the point?

Public education campaigns don't work when the people they are educating have no power in a problematic relationship.

You can educate me about green energy all you want, but if all the power providers I can switch to are burning coal, you're just wasting your time and money.

Passing laws is the opposite of myopic behaviour. To put it bluntly - theft is outlawed, not something we discourage solely through, uh, education campaigns.
I’ve implemented a (relatively simple) FDW myself. Performance largely depends on the operations you can push down to the native store. In some cases (e.g. SQLite and remote Postgres) that includes not just selections but even joins.
Italians identified as Italians way before Italy was a state, Italia as a region was defined in the roman empire, and the populace recognize unity even under the different domination and independent kingdoms that rose and fall until unification.

There's also no doubt about Columbus origin, there's a bunch of rumors and propaganda amplified by people repeating them as if these are well researched theories - notice instead how a Norwegian is claiming it's Norwegian, a Portuguese it's claiming it's Portuguese, a Polish is claiming it's Polish.. and quite many of these writing were wrote during the rise of ultranationalisms across Europe. Not hard to figure out the pattern there.

Shame having to defend his Italianità after the tragedy of his actions, but still.
Does it have accessibility support? Generally the answer is 'no' for virtually all novel UI toolkits, especially immediate mode ones. I really love imgui but the lack of accessibility support means it can't be used on 'serious' projects that might ever be used by anyone visually impaired.

> Of course this is also true more generally, but look at polling information by demographic and it's clear for example that black voters aren't confused about who is working against their interests, and largely vote accordingly. ...

You do realize that this is a tautological argument, right? One could just as easily argue that black people are voting for policymakers who, by and large, seek to patronize and infantilize them, thereby "protecting their identities as group members" even as they're in fact working against their long-term interests.

It's arguably distinct from fuzzing since symbolic execution is deterministic, while fuzzing implies a stochastic process.

Even smarter fuzzing tools like AFL which use branches taken as feedback to the fuzzer are randomized.
> Boarding closes somewhere between 30-15mins before the flight, if you travel without luggage I’m pretty sure it should be possible to be at the airport around 45 mins before the flight and still make it, especially in an all business class configuration with fast track.

Given the cost premium associated with the Concorde, I seriously doubt if it were flying today passengers would be going through the "regular" TSA lines. The airline would certainly pay for a separate line just for SST passengers with a much shorter delay, and would likely shorten the time between ending boarding and being in the air as much as possible.

Most travelers on an SST wouldn't have checked baggage - the whole point is to get there and back as quickly as possible, after all. It really should be a matter of "arrive, go directly through security, board, and depart".

Regional airlines have much this type of experience today. I can fly from my home town of Harrison, AR to Memphis, TN on Southern Airways for $98 round trip. That's departing Sunday evening and returning Wednesday afternoon. There is no TSA in HRO, and that airline has its own terminal that bypasses TSA in MEM. You can easily arrive ten or fifteen minutes before your flight boards, with checked baggage, and comfortably make it. This is something of a special case - FedEx corporate is in Memphis and Harrison is the general office for one of its subsidiaries, FedEx Freight, so there is probably enough business travel to keep daily service profitable. I believe FedEx also keeps a small number of company cars at the Memphis terminal for employee use. For the airline, Harrison is one of two fuel stops between Dallas and Memphis, so any business they're able to pick up is gravy. It also means that a single person can fly from my small town to Dallas and back on short notice for about the same cost as driving.

Given that domestic regional airlines can offer such fast service today, I don't see why a well-funded premium international route couldn't do the same. It just doesn't make sense to when travel time isn't the selling point.

> On my last flight between New York and Paris passport control and security didn’t take more than 5 minutes on a European passport (both in Paris and New York).

My last international flight was from Virginia to Montreal, and customs on both legs was relatively painless. A previous flight on that route had my group pulled aside going into Canada by customs due to some confusion over the boxes of conference swag we had with us, but even that only took fifteen minutes or so to work out. We shipped it next time.

> I think the bigger problem is the time you lose and uncertainty (immigration and traffic) door to door in these big cities, which limits the use-cases and might make an overnight flight or a direct connection from a general aviation airports preferable.

Yep - while the change in business culture was likely the biggest reason for the demise of transatlantic SST service, the fact that time in the air is just not a big part of overall time spent traveling for most people is why they couldn't shift their market focus.

Hi - core dev from Tauri here.

A new rendering engine is indeed one of the areas of the research at tauri. For now (and until 1.0 at least) we are sticking with the webview, because we want to have an alternative to electron that is safer and is well-known enough to be stable across platforms for the foreseeable future.

Regarding what an a new engine would have to provide, as a matter of fact, Tauri does offer cross-platform APIs for the filesystem, notifications, CLI, etc. These are all rust based, and available from JS.

I do have to disagree though, in one point, and that is that your single threading comment is only true in the webview. Technically, you have the entire strength of the underlying OS available to you from rust, and that is indeed where I recommend devs do all their heavy lifting. This is one of the benefits of using a polyglot system and an inherent security benefit.
"-m" can be used by automatiom. One of our teams' integrations uses this when automated commits are performed in response to certain actions. E.g., they trigger webpacker builds automatically which are then committed in response to a tag, sprint completion, or other action. (We used to use git hooks which I thought were better, IMHO.)

It's most likely in the context of an agile methodology - "a time-boxed iteration of a continuous development cycle. Within a Sprint, planned amount of work has to be completed by the team and made ready for review."

The planned amount of work is established via a number of tickets, each containing a point value in vague terms of difficulty/time. As you complete these tickets you tally up points. While this system is quite efficient, I'm also starting to have doubts as it could tend to lead towards gamification. Analyzed from a narrow scope/from manager or director's perspective, can lead to simple conclusions about the employee. For example, John is a better worker than Mary because for the past 5 sprints, John's point total was 130 while Mary's was only 100.
It's specifically trading and speculating in cryptocurrencies that's incredibly risky. There's a playbook of scams people used to pull with stocks were made illegal, but are suddenly viable again in the crypto space. There's also the risk of loss because of lax security on your part or the part of your wallet.
I agree with you about how everything blends together, and that you don't necessarily have to focus only on "improving as a developer", however, expert beginners are absolutely a thing and something I have had to deal with multiple times in my career.

I just got done wit a brutal job search. I call this attitude "losing the fear." I would not be so sure the next 100k job is waiting for you if you are not improving yourself.
Thank you for the conversation!
There's lots of platforms in that space and yet I am surprised that pretty much all of them are "read-only". I have yet to see one that allows writing to the sheet so users browsing the generated site can submit their own content or even use like counters or other dynamic functions that would update in the sheet.

I wrote an article about how to set up a platform like those mentioned + with write functionality (https://blog.usejournal.com/how-to-use-google-sheets-as-a-cm...) but I've always wondered if there would really be a market for such a thing. There clearly is anyway for read-only Google Sheet generated sites.
Something like this is what we need:

Unfortunately it's a one man band. The author has done great work but it has little support. IMHO it's the only sane UI effort for desktop in the world.
Pihole won't solve it, unfortunately. The only way to block it is to have a Chrome/FF on the media device plus adblocker. But that's very complicated topic and when I checked there were no suitable distributions and ways to get it. I ended up getting a proper PC and using it as a media server instead of pi-like devices.
They do? As in, paying will expose a control on their player to enter PiP in supported platforms?

Note: other than FF, you can also trigger PiP (edit: on Safari) on a YouTube video by double-right-clicking on the video element OR long pressing on the speaker icon on the tab/address bar.
The thing is most companies would want to have a web presence anyway. It's just easiest exposure and people have to be willing to install a software - visiting a website not so much.
So if you're building these cross-platform apps on anything other than the Web stack people will still have to have different code bases for native and web which kinda defeats their purpose.

So I don't think you have any real alternatives until there's other technologies on the web or wasm can do everything.
> I use namecheap and just use their auto renew feature. Do other registrars not have that option?

That still runs into the 10 year problem. Whatever payment information an organization sets up will probably be invalid in 10 years.
These seem obvious and fundamental yet devalued by school in terms of preparing kids for the “real world”. This disconnect only seems to be getting worse from my perspective.
> At least, command line interfaces have the merit of often being documented (that feature is documented line 91 of my offline `man git commit`)

By default, pressing "Enter" in VS Code adds a new line. I don't think that needs to be documented. And the input box for the commit message says as its placeholder "Cmd+Enter to commit on [branch]", which is a whole lot more discoverable than going to line 91 of some man page. Plus, every keybinding can be searched and configured using the built in keybinding editor.

>> but using Shift+Enter to get a newline is fairly common and easy to try and guess.

> How on Earth is that intuitive? User interfaces (coomand line, GUI, web, voice) typically rely on common patterns

You'll find many "Enter to submit" boxes across the technosphere have some way of adding a new line, typically shiftenter, ctrlenter, etc. So this is a common pattern.
Why you're probably not so great at risk assessment
The point I was trying to make was clearly lost, as not a single person donated in the time since this was posted.

Although a bunch of people clearly feel they won some moral victory by downvoting me. Bravo, HN. Just stellar.

As to your... tone.

I did quite a bit of volunteer work for a nonprofit for five years. I gave them, as it turned out when I did the math later, about 10% of my free time, worked with thousands of other people in that time (pretty good for an introvert). We raised around a quarter million, not counting the value of public resources and tens of thousands of volunteer hours we relied upon.

I’m fine walking through the gate you just erected. How ‘bout you?
It is, to say the least, surprising not to see nuclear power and nuclear weapons mentioned anywhere in this timeline. I feel like any general historical treatment of the 20th century, however superficial, that entirely omits the Cold War still has some work left to be done.

(Also weird to see that the images are only rendered at 72dpi, and thus have a lot of scaling artifacts on a high-DPI display. I haven't even looked at it on a phone yet, but that also lends me to think this whole thing is a little undercooked.)
In the late 90s, I got to the airport 20m ahead of the scheduled departure time, rushed to to the gate at 5m ahead of scheduled departure time, and got on the plane with no hassles.

911, Patriot Act and TSA changed all that for the worse.
More info on this? I think that may only be for mobile apps. Does PiP even work on mobile browsers?
Note that, normally, a writer can't conflate A and B, if they don't make even the slightest reference to B. That said, I've pulled off "the impossible" before.
Awesome. And indeed, I do plan on adding more mockups + the option for people to make their own (selecting the area where the video would be placed). It seems like there is some demand.

>learn how to do the same thing with 167 technologies is not a real development

It's sad that this is what continuous learning for software engineers has come to mean. Don't do that! Learn to express different and deeper ideas in the technologies you already know. Programming is a huge world. Maybe you have truly tapped out line-of-business CRUD apps, but remember every line in the CS course catalog is a whole universe unto itself.

Operating systems, distributed systems, databases, graphics, embedded systems, HPC, etc. Pick a layer of the stack, understand it, and move it forward a little.

You'll notice that many of these worlds have completely skipped the Javascript framework treadmill, and K&R C from the 1970s will get you a decent part of the way there.

I mourn the time I have to spend re-learning CRUD because it distracts from this mission.

If I understand the code correctly, this is is lisp code that ultimately generates a json to be fed to the plotly javascript library [1].

That's sort of interesting. I sometimes work on specialized plotting tools for computational mathematics, and I see now that I expect plotting libraries to ultimately boil down to some c backend like libcairo or libpng, or to directly output a format like an svg or ps or pbm or something --- or alternately to be entirely js from start to end.

But upon further reflection, I don't see any reason to keep the worlds of online and offline plotting so completely disjoint.

To put it a slightly different way: existing technology is such that it is not profitable for them to be deployed at scale. I expect supersonic travel will eventually supplant our existing infrastructure (at least for long routes), but it's just not going to happen while it's multiple times more expensive to operate and has significant downsides like sonic booms over populated areas.

I believe the sonic boom problem has been at least partially solved, but the economics still don't work out. One day, they will. Likewise with optical computing - either ownership costs will fall to the level that they're acceptable for general use or advancements in parallel fields will make it impractical.
Layer 1 is expensive. There are other really cool projects that get the same level of security as layer 1, but are much faster and cheaper. For example https://zksync.io/ allows payments that take less than a second and cost less than 1 cent. It’s based on zero knowledge cryptography.

Someone should build a way for people to pay 10 cents per article to read the New York Times without registering using this technology and a stable coin.
Time to start padding out your point estimates for things. It's not even a lie: if you're working more than the 8 hours you're supposed to in a day, you're underestimating the complexity of things, which is actually the real lie.

Some of this comes from team dynamics: you all have to together commit to not working every night to avoid burnout and competing with one another.
Can't answer conclusively. The big dip and the fall-off at the end were probably errors in my scraping. The site went down for a bit at a couple points, and the way dates were formatted changed a bit, all of which I thought I handled correctly but maybe not. And at a certain point of combing back over gaps, I just decided to be done.

I strongly get the impression that sales volumes did increase from 2014 onward, but sales in 2014, particularly in the early range there, probably appear lower than they are. IDs in that range sometimes returned normal Goodwill item pages, and sometimes returned 404-type pages. Maybe they migrated systems or something around that time?

Please do not donate to GoodWill. Altho their mission is good, its all hard core capitalism from there. Just Google "Goodwill owner house" to see his multi million dollar mansions all over USA.

If you have clothes to donate, meet any homeless person they will get most from you or tell you where to go to give it all out to other homeless people.
It wasn't obvious to me that it was purely about the analogy:

There are people who only know a few things. But on a suitably scoped project, that may be fine.

That's sort of a counterpoint to the main point, which is why I wanted to pull the discussion back to the main point.
"Required weekly point total" sounds like a nightmare. I'm guessing you are a software dev? Are you a non-remote worker in SF/Silicon Valley? If not, I'd suggest looking for a change in employment. The job market is messed up right now, but startups have the money and desire to grow, and are adjusting to more full-remote workers.
Tried a few queries, and the direct redirect when I type in facebook is more than questionable. If Google did this I couldn't properly research news or facts about facebook. It is a really questionable practice.
