Asking if I have time for something unimportant is as inconsiderate as just saying 'hi' imho. I will still have to remember to call them back (so their problem is now a task more for me to remember) and I'll still have to consider if it isn't important after all to ping them immediately. Because maybe last time they pulled the same stunt with a major problem and I initially got chewed up for doing minor stuff instead of asking about theirs...

So imho: either state the problem in a concise way and state your priority evaluation. I may adjust that evaluation based on my interpretation. Or just don't bother me with it because it isn't important.
The people who make the policies have morals that leak into them.

Is it moral to force people into work without protection and no recourse against their employer when they get sick and their family member dies? Sounds like we should make a moral judgment against that policy and the ones who made it to me.
By that logic you can do it in unsafe Rust as well then. Obviously in safe Rust having potentially dangling "pointers and references to things outside of the mmap'd area" is a big no-no.

And note that even intra-area pointers would have to be offset if the base address changes. Unless you go through the trouble of only storing relative offsets to begin with, but the performance overhead might be significant.

Be upset about it if you must but it is not equivalent to “spyware.”
Think here about stateless in this way. Imagine you scaled your API to 2 instances. Stateless here means you don't care which server you hit.
You have to sell it right. Telcos pay for transit. They don't pay for what stays in the confines of their network. IPFS within a single networks environment could greatly reduce their internet transit, saving them big bucks. Sold right, you could get that zero rated.

This approach of shredding data is risky if the schema is absent when we start. This is the same problem as ducktyping where we endup with variables with questionable types.

On a different note, all references are by the same author so it would have been nice to see a different point of view
I have that problem with a lot of charities, they send junk mail and sometimes personalized emails. Stop wasting your time.
My strategy is to just wait a bit and not respond immediately, to see if they get the message that their initial greeting was useless, and then post what they actually have to say.

There was a git Repo link in earlier news article in the last month.
Yes, you can.

You cannot with standard data structures, but you can with your custom ones.

That's all about trade-offs, anyway, there is no magic bullet.
IIRC this was a thing around 2007-2008, there was some software that used GMail inboxes as general purpose storage and people used that to exchange mp3's and such.

Well, getters and setters are a choice that's not predominant for the core java packages: java.lang, java.util, java.io, java.nio, etc.

Of course there were added with awt 1.1 and swing in an attempt to catch up with the visual programming jazz and for many it never disappeared. Later on there was (still is) a trend to use builders... and a general shift for immutability.

Java 1.0 got people excited about applets, but Java 1.1 really got people going with server side. Microsoft joined in with Visual J++ and it was also obvious that it was going to be important on the Mac. (I couldn't get it to do anything useful on my IIcx, unfortunately.) Then, with the introduction of the HotSpot VM along with Java 1.2, it got really good.

These days, we're spoiled with our wide variety of available, free languages, but at the time most software for Windows was written in Visual Basic, Pascal (Delphi), or C++, none of which was free. And Windows was almost all of the desktop PC market share. The promise of write-once-run-anywhere also made Java really interesting.
Landing with wings and hypersonic flight are oil and water.

Concorde struggled to get off the ground, even more than a Boeing 737. The SR-71 was OK in terms of range and fuel efficiency but took off with just enough fuel to meet a tanker.

Real hypersonic vehicles get 25g acceleration on reentry with little fins that look like tiny bat wings you'd draw on an anime character.
Right now, I'm more concerned about the people who broke into the Capitol and tried to take away my voting rights.
Swift is tiptoeing between static and dynamic typing, preferring the former when feasible, but often needing some of the latter when dealing with the UI.
The there is no "New Internet" without the fictional tech at core, which is, lol, lossless compression of anything. Because of that the fictional truly decentralized internet scales.

I think the author is missing the parody on ignorant/naive tech-optimism in face of the factual constraints of reality. The "make the world a better place", but really fuck things up joke.
I think it's on you - as the receiver of a message - to appropriately deal with your messaging app of choice such that it doesn't interupt your flow. Otherwise, you are placing an impossible burden on the sender of the message to some how telepathically know if it's a good time. IMHO, your preferred workflow makes it seem that your time is more valuable than the other person's as you're now asking them to hang around waiting until they can actually ask their question.

The asynchronous nature of messaging is important to preserve.

I’m a technical product manager for Indeed in Seattle. Previously I’ve worked as an engineer at Microsoft (both a- and fte, L59-61), an engineer (L5) at Amazon, a TPM (L5-L6) at Amazon, and an EPM (ICT4) at Apple.

Indeed is the best workplace I’ve ever had. The culture is seriously about helping - both each other and jobseekers. PTO is unlimited and strongly encouraged. When the office is open, we have the same free food as Google and Facebook (these used to be worse but improved dramatically a few months before Covid). People take the time to eat with each other, build relationships, make friends.

We discuss ways to ensure those with the least power are heard, and I think we listen to them - I’ve seen changes in the language we use to create inclusivity, and I’ve got two engineers on my team from the Ada bootcamp who I think are happy, and both getting promoted and recognized. I have leeway to trade revenue for, say, changes to our product that reduce unconscious bias in hiring. I also have leeway to target positive outcomes for people looking for work over revenue.

I am sure that like any company the mileage may vary. I make less than I did at Amazon or Apple, but I’m happy; I’d make the trade again in a second. If I think about work on a weekend it’s because I’ve got an exciting idea or solution I should write down, not because I’m anxious about next week.

I’d recommend Indeed to anyone.
If that was an actual insurrection or attempted assassination, it was the weakest effort imaginable. That doesn’t necessarily change the thrust of your comment (that enforcement is appropriate) but the breathless hyperbole around what happened has really surprised me. An actual insurrection would have looked very different. More guns and C4, fewer selfies.

I will forever associate Larry King with the movie “Spin”. [1] It’s a rather brilliant indie documentary about the 1992 (Bill Clinton / HW Bush) election based on a fascinating technological element: back then, Satellite TV feeds would often just keep running during commercial breaks, or warmups.

So the director recorded a TON of footage from these moments where the politicians and news anchors acted themselves, seemingly unaware that anyone was watching.

The segments with Larry King are, um, memorable. Very candid moments.

Tesla 3 loan payment is around $500. You can buy one even if you Uber (that is and you are very much into owning one).
1. Choose the wrong religion or no religion and you may suffer a fate worse than simple nonexistence. Not so with cryopreservation.

2. Many religions logically exclude other religions, i.e. if they are correct then other religions are not. This is not the case with cryopreservation, where there is a nonzero chance that more than one company may successfully resurrect you.

3. Various monotheistic religions don't accept "I think it's total bullshit but I'm going to act as if I believe it anyway" as belief (opinions vary on what exactly is required), whereas cryopreservation companies are happy to take your money regardless of what you privately think.
I generally don't like the "steve is typing" notifications that all modern communication apps ahve (it's the weirdest feeling is seeing one of those and then see it disappear without the person sending a message), but for THIS PARTICULAR PURPOSE they work really well. If someone says "hi!" as their first message, you can see that they're typing their follow-up you can just wait for them to finish. Yes, it would be better if they just came out and said what they needed to say, but the typing notification does remove some of the awkwardness.
Legally, you would have to do certification tests on every airplane type again.

A 10% loss of power would require much more than 10% increase in runway for a given weight.

Further, a 10% loss of energy density would require heavier takeoff weights for any given trip, meaning the penalty is further increased. I’m already weight-limited (either by certification limits or runway performance) on some flights. I carry about equal mass of fuel and people on trips with the whole family aboard.

I’m not crying about it and I hope to see a viable 100UL emerge, but a 10% loss on two variables in the fuel would result in a lot more than “just use an extra 300 feet of takeoff roll and she’ll be a’ight”.

The cost of said infrastructure is miniscule compared to the immense profits of just selling the games. Also, consoles are generally only sold at a loss at the beginning of their life cycle, becoming profitable not long after launch as component prices fall.

Also, the online services don't provide game servers, these are paid for by the game publishers.

Please don't make excuses for the anti-consumer profiteering of gigantic mega-corporations. No PC platform is 'compelled' to require payment for online play, despite many offering a similar or greater level of server to XBL or PSN.
> could have easily given mankind nuclear fusion

There's no proof of this because viable nuclear fusion has not yet been achieved. Humanity may never achieve this for all we know (though I sincerely hope we do).
>"And they can actually pinpoint on Google Maps exactly where you were standing. Like, he knew where I was standing on the sidewalk, like specifically, based on my cell phone ping."

You don't get that level of granularity by merely triangulating cell tower pings. Sounds like they got GPS location data from people's Google accounts.
The same people don't trust the media and I am sure that they lose many percentage points because of scammy ads, not because they think it through, but because the scam ad feelings blend over into the media ezperience.
because every time someone hits return, the messenger goes bling. Then I'll read what was sent because I was interrupted anyways. Then I'll discover it was incomplete and I can't make sense of it. I'll go back to productive work until the next snippet of this flow of consciousness madness interrupts me. Then I'll read that message, plus the preceding ones for context. Now you interrupted me multiple times, forcing me to read partial stuff over and over again, just to have to wait for your next snippet for it all to maybe make sense.

People messaging like the above cause me to mute them and just look at their messages once in a blue moon.
getters/setters became popular with RMI. Public fields have all kind of security/code smell issues. Most classes should be immutable.

I had an Irma card for a while, with a supporting Android app, must've been about 7 or 8 years ago now. Seemed to work ok'ish then (as a proof of concept). You could use it at some places in the university, although I can't remember what the use case was exactly (it was definitely the same thing though).

Anyway, since they already had that 8 years ago, I don't really understand what the roadmap for this project is. I see it popping up every now and again.
you're stuck at a 199x model of internet social interactions, these company are posing as stand in replacement for personal interactions and as such are trying their hardest (and succeeding, even, especially in the younger population with is the subject of this discussion) in registering people with their true identities.

Note I carefully said "Jet-A burning" rather than turbines specifically.

As OP mentioned, diesel piston engines burning Jet-A or diesel are fairly popular in Europe.

Of course, that still requires a new engine or even a new plane vs. the cost of keeping the current one running.
So imagine: You sit at home, you paranoid from lockdown allready. You order this 15min home test. Parcel is at your door. You open the box. You stick test in your nose or your ass, whatever it takes. 15min you got a ressult NEGATIVE. Yeah cool, alles kool.

Outside is quarantine, lockdown everything is closed and you can get coronavirus and bring it home.

The argument is that because Christians were so numerous, their culture needed to be policed to keep it from infringing on the hegemony that secular liberalism enjoyed. No significant number of religious minorities objected to "merry Christmas", but rather "it's offensive to religious minorities" was a false pretense employed by these "radical secularists" (or whatever we might call them) similar to how some (mostly white, probably anarchist) folks in America today are arguing that we need to abolish police for the sake of black Americans even though this opinion is fringe among black Americans.
I started developing Java in my first job in 1998. On that workplace, some developers before me had evaluated some kind of Java framework called "San Francisco", if I remember it right, before I joined, but decided against it. If I remember it right, it was IBM that were behind that. Is someone familiar with it? Some pre-J2EE thing..?
> I, too, am puzzled by your downvotes.

OK, so it's not just me, but I can see that others continue to hold contrary opinions. Which, as I say, is fine, I just wish they'd express them (as some have - thank you) and not just downvote without feedback.

>> ... annoying for someone to pop something completely different into my feed and just baldly ask the question

> Why? Can't you just reply whenever you can?

No, because of the nerd-sniping problem. If it's an interesting question that requires thought, I'll inevitably start thinking about it now, even if only in background, resulting in context-switching, and my productivity goes way down.

I'm guessing that many in the HN community quite simply work differently from how I work. I'm learning something already from the responses, and I'm getting the sense of a real disconnect between us (me and them, not me and you).
Simple, do what they are doing with the Nashville bombing and the Las Vegas shooting before that. Don’t bother investigating any relatives, family members, or neighbors. Do a few fluff interviews with the FBI or the police and put it somewhere at the bottom of the page.
I don’t fault Java programmers for their “love” of getters/setters; they’re taking something that really is a best-practice in certain situations, and which mostly doesn’t hurt otherwise (that best-practice being “making the contractual interface for an object its methods, so that the implementation can change while the interface remains stable”) and just deciding to do it all the time rather than only when it will likely have future benefits.

Which makes a lot of sense, if you look at it through the lens of cultural anthropology. Enterprises dictate approaches like this, because the alternative is leaving the choice to the individual programmer — and these same enterprises don’t hire experienced-enough programmers to trust their judgement. And so all the programmers who work for these enterprises end up absorbing this approach as a social norm, just “something you do”, rather than “independently rediscovering the need for it” in a way that would lead to them actually knowing when it’s useful. So, even when not locked into an enterprise that forces it on them, they just keep doing it, because that’s the culture that’s been inculcated on them (and how all the examples look, how all the libraries do it, etc.)

Personally, I’m not in theory against “unilateral” use of getters/setters, either. I just kind of which they worked in Java the way they work in Ruby: where referencing a field on any object other than `this` would actually just be sugar for a call to the getter/setter. Where the Java optimizer would then take special care to optimize-away the call frame for known-‘trivial’ getters/setters.
I'm like not that amazing of a programmer, but Java seems pretty legit.

It's a lot of cruft to pull together and manage to make stuff work. But once it does it's fast and the codebase is fairly easy to mentally model and absorb. Yeah the boilerplate stuff is kinda annoying but whatever.

Java with Akka adds the actor and some flow/functional stuff that seems to be useful for building a distributed and complex system that would be used in the future landscape of functional computing.
I think he's saying leaving the pump after getting your gas. That's very common in my area. You pump your gas, go into the shop to get something and you leave your car at the pump. Nobody leaves their car while pumping.

It's not uncommon to have to wait a few minutes for a pump to open up in my local gas station and it's got about 15 pumps.
You assume that competency is a requirement for insurrection. It is not.

My goto is the uni-ball Signo 207 in ultra-micro point. Been using them for probably a decade now. Great pen.
Decades ago, the news networks used to beam AV via satellite directly from the remote station in the field back to headquarters to be broadcast. They didn’t encrypt those signals, so anyone could pick them up if they knew how. This was raw footage, so there would often be candid segments showing people setting stuff up or getting ready for an interview.

Someone recorded a lot of these and later published a multi-hour compilation of them on YouTube. I forget the name of that compilation, but I can tell you that the following is by far the most interesting segment from it.

https://youtu.be/VCUIlV-AKY4

When I try to tell people about this segment, they don’t believe me. They write me off as being insane. Decide for yourself. Don’t believe what the news media tells you.

Chickenization
> Although Java has evolved over the years, the core of the JVM has maintained stability – to the point where applications compiled with Java 1.0 can still be run on modern JVMs, albeit much faster. The bytecode format has (largely) remained unchanged;

Java has many warts but the bytecode stability is an admirable achievement.
I feel the same way about people who pay for cable only to see commercials on all of the shows
As you well know:

The trick is paying attention long enough to determine if sources stay consistent, issue proper corrections & retractions, are intellectually honest, etc.

Or if the purveyors are just hacking ratings, for more ad revenue.

In the 80s, I eschewed a career in broadcast media. I loved the gear, doing creative stuff, working in the studio. But absolutely hated the business. "If it bleeds, it leads."

We've been complaining about outrage engines since the beginning. Social media just made things much much worse.
The ergonomics of Java kind of sucked until IntelliJ IDEA came out. Microsoft had introduced "IntelliSense" with VisualBasic and C++ earlier, and that made their stuff a lot more ergonomic despite the verbosity. The VisualAssist plug-in also was very useful.

Without having these assistants, you really understand why "Pike style" of having short API names and small variable names was popular, even if it often left you scratching your head when reading the code.
You don't even need much money all at once, you can use life insurance.
A few years ago, on my raspberry pi 3, tigervnc was almost fast enough to drive fullscreen video. I had to recompile the jpeg library to switch to turbojpeg and rebuild tigervnc against that.

Hopefully this “just works” now on a raspberry pi 4 and newer raspbian, but I haven’t checked.
Do you even struggle with RDP when you're on the same network?

We also have an R720 at work, running a Windows Server 2016 under Hyper-V and it performs very poorly (Windows UI is super slow, etc.). I know next to nothing about physical servers, but I've had great success swapping HDDs for SSDs in laptops to dramatically increase Windows' modern UI's performance. Our R720 has HDDs instead of SSDs, I've thought of upgrading them to see how it works out.

If you ever find a solution, please let me know.
Look into Mussolini and Hitler's early attempts. They looked really amateur and ridiculous too. The Munich Beer Hall Putsch was almost as much of a clown show. You even had some volkisch occult wackos who would have felt quite at home with the Q shaman.
It doesn't matter how many folks do it. Its spying on you. Its spyware.

At the very least, they're doing a customer survey without compensation. Even if they have no more malicious intent.

I prefer to receive multiple messages instead of one long and hard to read wall of text.
So much this. Recently got a coworker who does this, it honestly gets frustrating because it complicates communication. You already broke my concentration, get to the point! I've tried explaining it to him but it hasn't gotten across, maybe this will.
