It will be even better when advertisers (that is, the ones that pay for ads, not the ad networks) realize that "over tracking" and retargeting are just ways of parting them with their money but doesn't increase conversions.

You have basic info about your user, you don't need to track them to 11
Which is why you add non-copyleft components and make them not really optional. Like for instance their directX-based graphics and cuda support.

Sure, the "core" stuff is protected and you could do without the optional things for now. But how about when for example your favorite machine learning software says "we support linux, but cuda is only supported under WSL", similarly for graphics, rendering etc. .
As another city-dwelling office worker, I used to carry a knife everyday when I had a use for it at work. Changed jobs and eventually I realized I hadn't used it in months, so I stopped carrying it. My partner has a pretty large knife collection and enjoys expanding it, but similarly doesn't find it convenient to actually carry one.
I think this is just unrealistic. Let's look at this example:

http://www.pathfinder.com/money/moneydaily/1998/981212.moneyonline.html

This consists of:

0. Access protocol

1. Hostname/DNS name

2. Arbitrary chosen path hirarchy

3. File extension

This is really a description where to find a document ("locator" not "identifier").
So, if you are:

- re-organizing / cleanup your file structure

- change or hide the file extension

- enable HTTPS

- migrating files to a different domain name

This WILL change the URL. What are you going to do? Not cleanup your space anymore?
Stick to HTTP? So URLs DO change. That's just the reality.

If you want something that does not change, don't link to a location but link to content directly: E.g.

- git hashes do not change

- torrent/magnet Links don't change

- IPSFS links do not change.

Or use a central authority, that stewards the identifier:

- DOI numbers don't change

- ISBN numbers don't change

There's a case where an NHS gender clinic at Tavistock Centre is being sued by a former patient who was given both puberty blockers and testosterone at age 16. You can find reports from both mainstream media (like the BBC) and places like LifeSiteNews.

To be clear, by "children" I mean minors past the age of puberty, not, like, 5-year-olds.
How about: Hydrogen fluoride. I know there are acidophiles but a concentrated HF solution in water has a H0 of up to -11, surely no membrane (made of proteins) can survive that?
The problem (with Communism and with answering your question) is that Communism was never implemented yet, thus making it hard to say to what degree it can be implemented at all. The most "communist" thing that the world had were different collective communities, for example the original Kibbutzim in Israel, which can at least be considered "socialist" to a large degree. On the other hand none of them were state entities, which means they were heavily influenced by a surrounding state form.

From a formal point of view, Communism can be considered one of the purest forms of democracy, which makes it susceptible to the largest problem every democracy has - the people. Any democratic society relies extremely on the people's good will, (social) responsibility, and education. That makes it also the most fragile state form possible - as soon as even one of the criteria fails, the society inevitably changes. It can be a more or less slow evolution into an aristocracy or a monarchy, or a rather revolutionary change into an ochlocracy, oligarchy or a tyranny.

Intellij is awesome, and I use it for Scala with Emacs keybindings as well but like you said, the performance is just atrocious. Memory leaks, stutters, hangs, bad latency, you name it. Every Scala dev team I've been on constantly curses at Intellij. And yet, no one switches, because the functionality it provides is so good.

I never could get ensime to work, but I should try metals.
In other words, Rust provides the isolation that was originally mentioned.

That there are mechanisms by which the isolation boundary can shift does not change that.
Same here. I realized that using Twitter was just a great waste of time. Deleted my account, became more productive and happier.
My guess is the illegal bit is in the claims, not the device itself.
That's a surprisingly accessible read and I would recommend it to folks curious about "what does intense irradiation do to the human body". But it's also quite haunting.
This was corrected by @rezendi below:

What is better, an objective measurement of the wrong thing, or a subjective measurement of the right thing?

Which is more fair? Note that objective measurement of the wrong thing will reward people for stuff other than quality, and probably stuff beyond their control.
As it's not there yet, it's not a solution for my requirement.

Eventually, maybe.

For now, I think using Matrix to bridge to every other service is quite daunting. Consider these instructions which seem to be needed to connect to a Telegram group:

https://wiki.calculate-linux.org/matrix_telegram_bridge

I'm lucky that I can easily follow those instructions if I want. But to do all that just for 1 group?

The next one uses Slack.

Then Mattermost.

Then Discord.

Then IRC/Freenode.

My client uses MSN.

My other client uses Yahoo.

My other other client uses Skype.

A recruiter contacts me through WhatsApp, when I didn't have installed.

Another contacts me through LinkedIn.

Another through Telegram.

A friend sent me a message over Facebook Messenger. Of course I didn't get the Facebook message for 6 months due to not logging in :-)

(A friend of mine received a message over WhatsApp and didn't know for 12 months because of not having it installed at all, only to find someone they thought had stopped talking to them was actually sending WhatsApp messages, assuming of course everyone uses it.)

And then there are those group chats on Zoom sometimes.

I haven't listed them all...

Matrix has a long way to go before it's reasonably low effort to use seamless integration with all contact points that are coming up in practice.

I looked at Matrix recently, and it's very impressive how much has been implemented!

I'm almost certainly going to start using Matrix soon, if only because some communities I want to follow are on matrix.org itself.

But seamless, easy, and confident integration with many third party channels seems like it may be a long way off. (I'd also worry about messages getting lost or something due to services not integrating well with third party clients, especially given the adversarial relationship some services have.)

The problem is that everything and its pets seem to be using different services, and some of those want to live in walled gardens.

Amidst this, to be honest, I don't even use IM much! I'm not the chatting type.

But for key people or teams I need to use whatever they use, and for community awareness on the internet I want to see conversation where other people are discussing what I'm interested in, and pick up on key items sufficiently close to real-time to participate if I want.
Considering the linked announcement contains exactly one picture and that picture is not of "everything on linux" but one MS cli app, what are you basing your opinion on?

I think we're agreeing vehemently. But I'm not sure. To be clear, since trans women are women, "men" doesn't refer to trans women.
It does not directly claim any health benefits. If this is illegal then it would be illegal to sell "healing" crystals and goop would not exist.

I guess I'm the opposite, probably because I've learned to use Vim not as a standalone editor / IDE, but as a preferred set of keybindings and editing within other environments. I hear a similar argument to yours all the time - specifically that Vim as a plugin is not quite enough - but don't fully understand it.

Essentially, to me it's all about ergonomics of editing. Hands straight on the "home row" of the keyboard, and with modal editing, almost everything is a single keypress away. To me, this feels a lot faster and easier than reaching for the mouse (or arrow keys) every five seconds, and I get the additional benefit that my core editing commands stay consistent across different environments (where I have a Vim plugin, that is). I leave all the fancier, IDE-specific stuff (e.g. refactoring, etc) on their default IDE bindings, and learn them. It's a good compromise, I'm not sure why people don't like it.
Yes.

The frustrating thing of course, is that even if the trains are severely delayed, they have (or had, depending on whether they go out of business soon) a policy of running the exact schedule for each train as if normal. So even if all the trains are piled up, delayed, they would make local stops, etc. even though everyone wanted just to get to the end by express.

Sad that this kind of issue was so common (1x per month at least) that I blame them for not having efficient accident backup plans.

Yes, yes, I realize that there's the problem of having trains go express when they're all stacked up.

Exactly! Nothing major could have come out of this.
If you disagree, please let me try to convince you;

Tweets were about bitcoin, therefore broad public was not the target of the attack.

Hence Twitter just prevented verified accounts from posting and deleted some messages. Had president's account been hijacked and threats of imminent nuclear strike etc. were thrown around, DoD would have been quick to contact to Twitter and they would have been disabled the whole account, put notifications about hijack for everyone to see (like these COVID notifications) or maybe even take the whole platform offline until they fix it.

You would click a link to go to the said tweet, but you'd only see president's account is not there, and there's a huge warning saying it has been hijacked, and devs are working to get it back. That's it.

Now please try to convince me otherwise, I'd love to be challenged on this.
Technically yes, but I would tend to think more towards applications such as ERP, CRM, SRM, Accounting etc. rather than infrastructure or middleware level software.
Yep, @Noahpinion changes his like every week.
Only time I've ever flown business class internationally was LAX to SYD on a Qantas A380. I really enjoyed it. 'Tis a pity I'm unlikely to get the opportunity again any time soon. (Unless I want to pay for it myself, and it is a lot of money.)

A lot of employers nowadays seem to restrict business class travel to VP level and above (or sometimes the really exceptional IC, as in "distinguished engineer" status). If you fly economy enough, you may get enough status to get upgraded occasionally; if you don't fly often, you've got little hope. My Dad tells me how, back in the 1990s, the company he worked for let anyone (even the most junior IC) fly business whenever the flight was long enough (and all US-Australia flights were). Such a policy was not uncommon back then, much rarer today.

Every problem you mentioned with a Jira is some decision your IT folks made. The same every time I hear people telling me how awful the software is: they complain of autocratic workflows, forms being slow, forms being complex and having so many mandatory fields that they can’t get anything done.

It’s all due to local configuration, some IT kiddo sees all these bells and whistles and levers to pull, so they turn them all on thinking more features is better.

In the meantime the most efficient workflow I have has six states (planning, execution, UAT, deployment, warranty, closed) and it works just fine and stays out of my way.
Honestly, I would swear up and down that I tried that already (e.g. `old_stats` is already in the plugins list) but apparently not quite exactly right - now I have stats.

Thanks!

[edit: Although, saying that, I have stats that are resolutely stuck at 0 for everything even though I'm watching the traffic go through. But it's a start.]

These conversations are always so one-sided on HN.

Not only is 're-targeting' immensely useful, it absolutely increases conversions.

Targeting in general helps quite a lot.

Ad targeting is the opposite of evil, it actually increases relevance by a significant degree, and increases market efficiency, wherein surpluses go to both sides. There's a huge market for products and services out there and it's getting harder to connect individuals and products on the long tail.

Without tracking - the big winners will be the mega-brands that can run wide ad runs to most of the nation. It'll be cheaper to just tell everyone about McDonald's and impossible for the new snowboarding company to tell you about their new gear.

Maybe the open source promise of Android was indeed a lie. To me this industry has no value to society at all.

Not a fan of Apple, but they seem to be serious about privacy showing other companies how it is done.

Microsoft could have really established itself as an alternative to Google on the same front, but they utterly failed by mirroring the worst aspects of the disastrous landscape we see on mobile devices. I hope their telemetry generates billions too, since that is probably in the range of their missed opportunities for both desktop and mobile devices.

Some still pretend that users want personalized ads and want to be tracked. Yes, there are some that really do. Glad we get options for the other ones.

I wonder if there would be a market for actual electromagnetic shielding products, such as some sort of conductive paint for walls and ceilings? Of course, you could not use your phone or other devices, but it could be useful for the bedroom. A good way to have a guaranteed "do-not-disturb" zone as well!

Of course I can say. Many people have five fingers and some have fewer and some have more. The second sentence of the Wikipedia article on fingers agrees with me. [1] What was so difficult about that that you thought it would be some kind of gotcha?

> Your view makes it impossible to distinguish anything from anything else. It's just intellectually a dead end if you take it seriously with any consistency.

I think I've already demonstrated that you're wrong, but feel free to provide concrete examples of where my view does what you claim.

> Don't be so open minded your brain falls out.

Please avoid this type of language. It's not welcome on HN.

Sort of related: had a customer with a problem where data on a serial line got corrupted which is usually resolved by applying proper shielding all around the cable, i.e. standard Faraday cage principle. So English not being my native language I wanted to explain this in correct terms and entered the term 'emf shielding' in a search engine just to doublecheck. I think 90% of the results on the result page were all like this, 'protect your family from dangerous EMF'-style. Image search: the same, images of entire iron curtains meant to be put around your bed etc. Since this was using Duckduckgo, which as far as I know does not suffer from the typical 'search bubble' like on Google, I'm afraid this is an accurate representation of.. what actually? The internet being flooded by companies wanting to make easy money? There being serious amounts of people with a misunderstanding of EMF, it's sources and effects?

Have a simple rant here. All these BIG $ companies every now and then come out with statements and what not, that doing AI ML is very easy and every one including their cats should do AI, ML courses and training(preferably on their platform). Once that is done the job market is yours. Reality is far from this.

- Today AI|ML does not have the capability marketed by these big companies. Incidentally marketing is targeted at governments, big non tech companies and gullible undergraduates.

- Undergrads many a times take these training courses wherein they acquire the skill set to call these APIs and flood the job market wherein a data-entry or data-analyst job is tagged as AI|ML job.

- High paying jobs in AI|ML still require a Masters or PhD or a mathematical background.

In conclusion, the current hype around AI|ML is misguiding gullible undergrads and governments(I dont mind the government being cheated THOUGH).
Even the nostalgic narrative of the past golden era of unions is, from what I've seen, mostly a creation of propaganda.

The gains unions won for their members were worse than zero-sum, because they merely redistributed from profit (shareholder income) to worker income, while resulting in collective bargaining agreements that reduced the flexibility of the labor market.

The violence they were involved in was almost universally started by them, as illegal action that violated the employer's right to their property, and replacement worker's right to work at their site, was their main source of leverage.

The Airlander 10 wrote off their old prototype, and has a maximum payload of 10 tonnes, whereas an unloaded 747 is about 180 tonnes. Remember it's a plane so big that they used to piggyback the space shuttle orbiters (which are not small) on it.

I think what he means is that first class is now very rare, except on A380s.

Comparing the number of seats on an Emirates A380 for example is a bit unfair, because the upper deck is just so luxurious. If you remove the cocktail bar, the showers, and just keep standard business cots on the upper deck, you could probably add a good 20-30 seats
