You said "How could typescript be approaching C++ complexity when it's just JS with types?" The implication being an assertion that typescript cannot be getting as complicated as C++, and that's simply isn't true.

Given that the type system is part of a language, I have no idea what you mean by trying to draw a big distinction between adding features to a language and a language's typesystem.

So far, it's just a less functional docker and didn't bring much to the table.
I don't feel the need for daemonless as docker has been working fine.

I've swapped back to docker on Fedora and CentOS by forcibly installing docker on those unsupported platforms because podman-compose doesn't work, containers just didn't work like expected in several situations (forgot detail) and portainer wouldn't work against it.

Either they should have sped up the podman development or shouldn't have deprecated docker at this point. Maybe RedHat just didn't like a third party taking the stewardship in the container business.

> I assure you, Christians are aware of how poorly they're portrayed by the media, and aren't happy about it

I assure you that Christians are not, as a rule, unfavorably portrayed in the media, and many Christians are excessively tired of those members of the single most favored, and socially and politically powerful, subset of America's dominant religion pretending to be persecuted whenever they experience the slightest criticism or restriction in imposing their ideology on others.

> It seems to me that this is one of many factors that led many Christians to support Trump.

Probably not significantly; it's more likely the reason that white evangelical protestants overwhelmingly supported Trump and white Catholics and white non-evangelical protestants also did so, though less overwhelmingly (whereas Hispanic Catholics supported, and Black evangelical protestants overwhelmingly supported, Biden) is that white Christians consistently have more to do with the correlation between views on race and religious affiliation. It's perhaps telling that the share of White Evangelical Protestant (78%) and, White non-evangelical Protestants (52%), and White Catholics (53%) that supported Trump (in an October survey, [0]) are very similar to the share of each (72%, 56%, and 53%, respectively, in an August survey [1]) that believed “police killings of Black men are isolated incidents”.

> Isn't it safer just to use an adblocker? Why engage with ad-networks at all?

> While AdNauseam is far safer than using no blocker at all, it is indeed marginally safer for one to simply use a strong adblocker and protect themselves. But it is also safer to stay at home rather than to attend a protest. Using an adblocker does little to change the status quo (especially for those users without the resources to install/configure one, and so remain at risk). AdNauseam, and the obfuscation strategy in general, instead presents a possible avenue for collective resistance; a means of questioning and perhaps eventually, changing the system. But this is not for everyone. If your goal is primarily self-protection, this tool may not be for you...

Update:
I did a comparison of fonts. A truly massive comparison.
https://imgur.com/a/496jiLf

I also designed my own font by taking another font in OTF format and opening it in fontforge and tweaking various random elements. I didn't present it here but it was also somewhat more legible than the original font. I think a font comprised of your choice of how each letter is done stolen from across a dozen or so fonts without regard for license and then averaged would make for a pretty nice personal font. Maybe i'll look into doing that one of these days. The fact that different fonts have slightly different heights and widths for characters makes that a little bit more difficult..
I don't I'm afraid; I've been out of the ecosystem for a while (and was never -that- involved with it).
Linus' own career illustrates my point, I think: Transmeta had advantages in low power design at one point, then Intel simply threw more resources at the problem.

I'm honestly curious why any non-smart thermostat would need a PRNG. Can you give examples why it would be needed?

Past some critical mass local dev indeed simply doesn't work, but the majority of codebases aren't ~that~ large. And until that point I feel there's an analogy between having a light laptop and remotely doing your heavy lifting with the whole working remote thing in general. In theory, on paper, and assuming reliable decent internet connectivity, with a little elbow grease there should be no discernable difference between thin client remote dev and an in-your-lap xeon, just like with high quality low latency video teleconferencing with a team that knows how to do it there should be nothing lost with physical distance. In practice though the overhead of doing any little thing, no matter how small the overhead may be optimized down to, is still real. Non-verbal communication is lost on zoom and the distance between you and your real UI grew by hundreds of miles and dozens of links, and the tradeoffs your environment makes when there's no such thing as a 'quick check' add up fast. But it's obviously not one dimensional, and there's probably irony in the weight shedding that offers you 20 hrs of battery life coming with a price tag of requiring reliable wifi to get any real work done.

I built a Chrome extension that is basically Anki. It doesn't schedule anything but you can set intervals for how often you want cards to be shown on the website you're surfing. Check it out: https://yeerodite.com

Who wants to multiply by 9, though? The version of the 13 test I've seen has you multiply by 4 and add instead:

4173 -> 417 + (3 x 4) = 429 -> 42 + (9 x 4) = 78, which is divisible by 13, so 4173 is.

Of course, these two tests work for the same reason. You're saying 10a + b is divisible by 13 iff a - 9b is, I'm saying 10a + b is divisible by 13 iff a + 4b is, and those differ by 13b.
Checkout https://yeerodite.com !
It's basically Anki but a chrome extension where you can set intervals for how often you want the cards to show up!
Your life will be a lot less painful if you abandon docker-in-docker. The Jenkins solution is to simply execute containers using the host's Docker daemon, or via a container orchestration system which you call out to.

The latter is the best option as it's much more scalable and doesn't require ugly proprietary hacks. Docker in Docker requires vertical scaling and more complex management for intermediate states/maintenance.

Podman probably isn't ready to replace Docker yet, but rootless containers are the easy-mode for federation of clusters. If you can supply the other features you need (and I think most can) it's probably worth it in the long run.

Yup, I thought Nest was safe from Google. I was wrong.
The 'health outcomes' comparisons are difficult, and not necessarily a measure of the healthcare system.

America has lower life expectancy because of violence, not healthcare.

That America has a cohort of poor people w/out care can easily drive a lot of the other numbers out of whack as well.

Finally, obesity, bad diet etc. - bad lifestyle choices are not a measure of the system either.

By and large, I view the American system as delivering better specific outcomes, without regard to price, all other things being equal.

Of course 'price' is a major factor as you indicate, and 'all other things' (diet, violence etc.) are not equal.
I totally agree with you in the context of small settings. There, it's correct to avoid phrases that are harmful to people, once you are aware of the issue they have. That's just part of not being an asshole.

But in public forums--and relevant to the article--public software/documentation, I believe the number of problematic phrases approaches 100%. Even referencing "years from now" can bring a Stage-4 cancer patient to tears--100% real pain I have seen with my own eyes--and there are many people in that state. Yet, obviously we have to accept that we will cause those people pain and go ahead referencing the future that was taken from them.

Therefore, to me, the only social contract that "works" in public is that we all try not to offend, and anyone who gets hurt by everyday language realizes their reaction is mostly an internal issue, and no harm was meant or could be reasonably avoided.

I'd expect that latitude of the wheelchair-bound person who winces at references to walking, and from the developer who thinks of slavery at the sight of a "master branch." The tinge they felt was real, but in my view it is not our responsibility to avoid it in a public space. As a result, I must disagree with the handful of advocates who want to change every git repository on the planet. But maybe I am in the wrong. It is just my opinion.

Thanks for your reply. I always worry these topics will get unnecessarily heated.

I do really enjoy this approach and have used it affectionately for every computer I’ve owned.

Android nailed it.
The same type of reasoning that explains why it makes sense to create a calculator app instead of use one i.e. sometimes it's not the answer that matters rather the skills you learned to come up with the answer that you can now take with you to unsolved problems.
This is an incredible oversimplification of the left. I know plenty of leftists (like, hardcore socialists) who probably wouldn’t show that to their kid either. Do you really think Amazon sells sex toys because it fits some leftist agenda or because it sells?
I think they're comparing apples to oranges.

If you're looking at Rakuten then compare it to Amazon and eBay which are also pretty cluttered but functional.

If you're looking at Yomiuri then compare it to New York Times or CNN or Fox News all of which are pretty cluttered but functional.

That minimalist "clean" look isn't a general trend of e-commerce and news sites even in the US, if that is what they are using as a reference point.

I am not familiar enough with the data of hospital availability in Iowa to make a determination.

A quick search seems to indicate that the authorities in Iowa are keeping exact data private. Whether to hide reality or avoid causing a panic, I can strongly say I am against keeping that data private.

So you're not talking about the area of the cores, you mean simply bigger in a microarchitectural sense ?

Because as I just added in my previous comment (sorry, I don't expect you to reply so quickly) on the dieshots Firestorm cores seems much smaller than the Zen2 cores. The 5nm TSMC can explain this, but probably not completely.

And that is why I have a doubt about the following statement:

> which will make scaling up to more-cores more difficult.

Apple has not yet released a CPU for the desktop. But I don't see anything that prevents them from removing the GPU, Icestorm cores and multiplying the number of Firestorm cores.

In fact, Firestorm cores seem to have a remarkably small surface area and very low power consumption and dissipation.

Which is very good for scaling up to more cores.

I'm dyslexic. Because of that, I've spent a bit of time thinking about this for practical reasons. I prefer heavier sans-serif fonts with no character ligatures, but I like symbol ligatures and glyphs; they're not deal breakers. I've been using Cascadia Code, and find it usable, don't like the dotted 0 (the fact that the top and bottom of the 8 round in sharply helps offset this) or the few serifs it has. I've used Ubuntu Mono (spacing is too tight) and Source Code Pro (lines are too light) in the past.

What I look for is legibility between things like ({}), l1!|I, Oo08, mwnu, tl bpdq, ecoa, and being able to distinguish repetitio and symbols like --, ==, !!, "'`, :;, _-, and even ,.. (Something's going to try to parse that and absolutely shit itself)

I just grabbed B612 Mono.

> The US has full ability to pay such debts, at the cost of inflation.

That point could reasonably be interpreted as rather than taking in a dollar and paying back 50 cents, the US has the power to take in an hour of labour and pay back a half hour. And claim that it fulfilled the terms of the agreement.

That isn't an improvement. It is nothing more than muddying the waters enough it makes it hard to point out that the situation is no different from a default. Which I suppose is why they do it.

There is an amount of stuff in the world at this moment. The US either gives back more stuff than it borrowed, or less. The idea that it can give back less stuff but that is OK because it is a government is a foolish idea. Making it hard to understand who is getting what doesn't magically mean everyone is happy, it just means we only find out who is paying with benefit of hindsight.
HN is for much more than just technical stories. Nearly anything that's intellectually interesting is welcome, which includes lots of articles on history, arts, literature, you name it.

Garden-variety politics and ideological battle pieces are not so welcome, but not because they're non-technical. It's because they're not driven primarily by intellectual interest, i.e. curiosity, and lead to flamewars rather than curious conversation.

I think one of the forgotten blessings of PHP/CGI was that requests had to finish sometime so as to free the PHP process for the next request. This alone I feel ended up making decisions easy around when it felt right to offload stuff when slow requests started to affect index.php from rendering in a timely fashion but now that's often masked (rightly) by caches and other tricks.

Right now in a microservice model often you have to remind developers that it just isn't ok to have a ~1ms response in a basic case and a 1 second to infinitely blocking case during errors or slow remote services.
Not really. Even something as small as maximizing your tor browser window can indicate to whoever's watching that you're one of N people using that same screen resolution.

And sure, N is pretty big for popular websites. But the less popular the site, the less it holds up.

Tor is about the most effective thing we have, but I'm not sure "really effective" is fair. It gets the job done sometimes, but it also leaves a lot to be desired.

Still, I'm grateful Tor exists.

The primary reason for slow iPhone adoption in Japan was that both NTT Docomo and au/KDDI, the largest carriers, initially refused to stock it. (Japan has a strange model where the telcos basically control what handsets can be sold.) SoftBank was the first to start selling it, and this propelled them from being a bit player into a top-tier telco.
