Before even imagining all the ways to start regulating a tech company, I think we desperately need a few basic regulations like:

- For every major service offered, company must provide 3 ways to contact live support, two of which must be immediate, e.g. chat, phone, E-mail. [As opposed to today’s “standard” of having none of these!]

- Every action that can be taken automatically by an AI must be possible for support staff to immediately reverse.
If it really bothers you, there is lombok. But I will tell you something, the complexity of most programs will require many lines of code that you simply can’t decrease anymore. Whether it is more by a tiny tiny factor doesn’t matter, over performance, observability and maintainability of a language - though being on the JVM, the mentioned languages can tick all of them (I’ve only written groovy with gradle, but due to the lack of typing, I though of it as more of a scripting language)

The context is somewhat important.

While 508s were being sent, there was also a significant number of 503s (IIRC). A 503 is an absolute hallmark of something reaching max utilization. Sometimes it's a bad code push that results in memory bloat and then swap or significantly increased request handling time on a poorly threaded server (think a code push that makes a blocking linear request in a loop), but the vast majority of time an upstream dependency (specifically a data store) has been overloaded.

So for whatever reason a data store gets slower. What happens upstream when this happens? The number of incoming requests is constant, but the time each individual thread spends attempting to talk to the data store is constant (or worsening). This means each request blocks longer (resulting in potential thread starvation) or there are more concurrent requests (load) to the data store.

This creates a feedback loop of doom: as a data store slows down, its load (the number of requests it's handling at once) increases until complete failure.

The only way to stop this behavior is by "failing fast." This is how a circuit breaker works. When the data store starts responding slowly, it’s important not to hammer it with even more load, so your client watches the number of load related failures (or response times) and automatically fails requests immediately without sending it to the data store (circuit breaker). This allows the data store to become unloaded and get out of the doomed feedback loop.

>UE4 Blueprints are phenomenal for visual development. But does it scale to teams of hundreds of designers?

This comment seems to come out of nowhere. Cyberpunk isn't written in UE4 to the best of my knowledge. But rant time! I love ue4 blueprints. I think they're the bees knees because documentation of things is so hard, but blueprints make that so easy! The ability to grab a bunch of nodes and collapse them into one node means you can comfortably make your top level view of things just a series of collapsed nodes with long form descriptions in full sentences. So your high level stuff is basically pseudocode.

Most people don't do this of course. But then most people don't write good code, and lots of people writing blueprints one sees in the wild don't even know how to code to begin with.

Blueprints are, imo, what people really want when they think they want jupyter notebooks for data science.

I think this was true, and legally it probably is true in many places, but there's increasing support for more regulation of popular social media platforms as something resembling utilities. I see this from both the conventional left and right here on HN and elsewhere, probably because the monopolization of social media due in part to network effects tends to invite parallels between these networks and traditional utilities which have long been affected by laws such as net neutrality (and certainly the equivalent for electricity/gas/...) in many places. I don't necessarily endorse bans on censorship on private social media platforms, and perhaps they are not a necessary result of this, but it fits into this mold of regulating social media companies with respect to a broader public interest rather than a sole focus on private ownership. A similar trend can be seen with GDPR or the Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz in Germany [1].

Strange. My work laptop is a 2019 13" pro with only an i5 and 16GB RAM, and I very rarely have any problems. On the rare times I do, it's usually because some app went nuts and needs to be killed. Google Hangouts, however, is a pig.

But then, when on a Hangouts (now Meet, I guess) call, I typically won't be pushing any of the other apps; they'll be idling.
You're saying that as if it contradicts (“but”) what lotsofpulp said, but that was exactly their point: If your bank can do it, then so could Google. That they choose not to is a conscious choice, and not a beneficious one.

Conrad's corollary to Hanlon's razor: Said razor having been over-spread and under-understood on the Internet for a long while now, it's time to stop routinely attributing lots of things only to stupidity, when allowing that stupidity to continue unchecked and unabated actually is a form of malice.

Iran just want get on and be Iran. The idea they're in some sort of 3 way conspiracy is a bit silly isn't it? And given the huge military advantages Israel has, this is the least concerning of the three prospective conflicts isn't it?

Alternatively, let's assume you're right. You only have 2 options, bring them on side with trade and diplomacy. Or war.

War will make Iraq look like a fucking picnic. Iran is vastly larger. Their troops are better equipped and have higher morale. The population won't welcome American (or Israeli) troops. Even the terrain is a nightmare.

So now you either have to commit to Vietnam 2.0 only worse and longer. Or make peace.

Indeed, although I suspect it's just because of the politics here. If Parler had been a progressive/liberal haven conservatives would support censoring while progressives would be outraged at the violation of free speech.

The reason I think this is that's what happened with "private companies can do what they want." Giant corporations imposing their values on individuals is not a problem for progressives when it's big tech. Likewise Conservatives don't seem to support private property rights and no regulation anymore.

Steam is supported, actually! But like you said, you'd still need the Steam app if you're doing trading.
I entirely agree. But i also don't know what the Gradle authors could have done instead. Writing build scripts in Java 1.6 (the latest version at the time Gradle was written) would have been a showstopper. Kotlin didn't exist. XML alone isn't expressive enough, so you would have needed some sort of Ant-like crummy language expressed in XML.

Buildr, which i think predated Gradle, used Ruby. I'm not sure Ruby is any better than Groovy here.

Perhaps Jython would have been a good choice.
What'd you do with your Consumer Product startup?
Hi everyone. I'm not looking for legal advice but rather interested in reading how anyone with experience did it. I am working on a physical consumer product that we are aiming to receive crowdfunding for. I have been back and forth of whether to go with an LLC in my state or Delaware C Corp. My main back and forth is because I look at other successful CPG start ups and some are LLCs others C Corps. Both of which have raised millions. We already have private investor interest (Nothing like huge VC funding). Can anyone share their experience with this? I'd really appreciate it!
I guess that you haven't fully understood the complete problem space of everything that a teacher has to master in order to be effective, and everything that a school has to provide resources for (including other areas of training).

Classroom teaching is not highly dependent on technology and low-tech solutions are often better.

Your suggested solution asks teachers to give up a day of their time (unpaid?) for what you think is important, without listening to what teachers actually find difficult about their jobs.

Even if what you are saying is right and genuinely helpful, it won't immediately look like a good solution to the teachers or to the administration.
My Google-fu is failing me right now, but there is a list of domains like dropboxusercontent.com that are treated as pseudo second-level domains for purposes like this.

We need Internet access to be seen as a utility before Social Media... :(
>Email sucks

Email is great. I can choose between umpteen providers or run my own mail server, it's a standard protocol with many different clients to suit one's needs, I can't get banned by a faceless FAANG corporation for no reason and with no recourse, I'm not locked into some walled garden and dependent on the benevolence of corporate overlords and I don't need to worry about some intern at Google suffering from NIH syndrome deciding to make completely unneeded "improvements" that negatively impact my UX.

Email is old but that doesn't mean it sucks.

Internal "semi-spam" is a social problem and needs a social solution. Changing protocols won't change the spam problem at your company.
> However, state laws are often applied to determine how bankruptcy affects the property rights of debtors. For example, laws governing the validity of liens or rules protecting certain property from creditors (known as exemptions), may derive from state law or federal law. Because state law plays a major role in many bankruptcy cases, it is often unwise to generalize some bankruptcy issues across state lines.
I believe there is some form of memory bias or bias in reporting by the media. If you look at the record books, you will find that most records are held by Sherpas. For example, more than 70 records for Mount Everest is held my Sherpas (or other Nepalese climbers) [1], far more than climbers from any other country.

Apa Sherpa, one of the most prolific Sherpas, holds many records [2]. Interesting fact he was Sherpa to Peter Hillary (Edmund's son).

From the perspective of someone who leads an engineering team- I’m genuinely happy and proud of my team when things are going well. I’m not blowing smoke when I say something like that- it’s all true.

Now I will call out a bad sprint, and I’ll praise even more after a great sprint, but it seems to be me that just making our deadlines week after week is something to be genuinely happy for.
It is May of 2020, which makes it a bit better.

> Particularly for more simple-brained creatures like frogs, you can't reason about behaviors as if they've evolved a sense of mortal danger and then deductively reason their response to mortal danger. They have a bunch of evolved survival-enhancing responses to specific stimuli, but it's an over-generalization to say they have a generalized instinct to survive.

I really think you're making something out of nothing, and this is no different from humans, and the entire argument over sense of self is an irrelevant tangent to everything I've said.

My ability to avoid dangerous situations and survive is philosophically no different from an amoeba, and I think all your arguments to the contrary are nonsensical. You can easily concoct situations where humans would die too. I'm getting weird Bible vibes honestly, since you seem to think humans are somehow special.
Yup!

There are many, many protocols for exchanging messages, chats, files, etc. (basically, what e-mail does), they all come, get some traction, last for two years, then die (except maybe irc, but except for a few nerds, it's hard to get anyone on there anymore). Some get killed by google, some just get replaced by "the next new thing"... but e-mail still lives, and works, and does what is needed.
I have a single machine running Windows 7. It’s an old toughbook I bought so that I have a portable machine that still features I need for certain project. I haven’t moved it to Linux or a BSD because I’m mildly worried about hardware support for certain things, and I have a number of external devices I connect to it without *nix support. I haven’t upgraded to Win10 mostly because of memory concerns. I got it really cheap, mostly because it was rather old. It only has 4GB of RAM and I’ve had poor experiences running Win10 on older or memory constrained devices.
Problem is that these matrix instructions are way more useful that the use cases they've catered for in their library. You could have a library that has a function call for each matrix instruction, but that's not worth the penalty of a function call. If your game, graphics software, physics simulation, render farm, video encoder etc can get a boost from these commands, it should be permitted, not just the software that Apple makes. Not sure why people are hostile to this.
That only shifts the bandwidth cost between the original server and the user, Google's resources are unaffected. And it's not what GP claimed.

Icon packs are coming. [1] Steam accounts can be imported if you have root access, or you can try [2].

IIRC Steam codes are almost standard except they use a different encoding because... Valve likes to roll their own stuff (?). I agree that trading makes only having codes a bit less useful. They could've used the same codes to confirm trades instead of an entirely separate interface.

> But, the amount of prerequisite knowledge one needs to understand this is very, very little, and would easily fit in a digestible web page

I'm really not sure on this one.
This is easy if you have an idea of:
1. how you can graph things (runtime vs input size)
2. do the same but stretching the function to infinity
3. compare this to some term (which isn't as tangible compared to most algorithms imo),

And this is only for the intuition part. For people that got into programming by doing some UI stuff, I can definitely can see why _a subset of people_ struggle with this.

The cognitive load is just temporary. I can say that after writing it full-time for about half a year, and dabbling in and out of it for a bit longer, I've gotten as good with Rust as I was with JS or TypeScript.

I've seen people learn Rust as their first programming language, and it fills me with joy that the next generation of programmers won't have to build up this vault of apocryphal knowledge I've had to over the years. Or, at least, not the same one. And hopefully not as large.

I've also found Rust to be a very pleasant application development language. As a former NodeJS developer, I've been able to replace Express with Warp and Electron and React with Iced. It's not ready for all things, but it's ready for a heck of a lot. And the question of "what's possible" has broadened so much due to work by the community in even just the past year, I really think the majority of all other applications, including web frontend (cargo web), servers, desktop apps (iced), and mobile apps (cargo mobile), can be reasonably implemented in most part entirely in Rust within only a few years.
As someone who never really spent the time to learn Excel or Sheets, ive found when I have to do something more complicated then importing a CSV in either system, Sheets is usually easier to do than Excel. Usually though, before im able to finish work in Sheets, a teamate who is a pro in excel will show me how to do in Excel as more of our business users want excel reports anyway.

I think in 2021 there are still way more power users of Excel, and Excel is more important to more of Microsofts customers so they spend money to make it better. Lets remember, how many more 10s of thousands of devs work on Excel compared to Sheets? I want to say i remember seeing a news story that said microsoft was hiring an additional 25k or 36,000 devs to work on Excel.
