In light of the recent attempted overthrow of the government, I’m now firmly against giving away government monitoring of the internet. In fact, it’s time we give it some teeth.

We’ve been the victim of foreign propaganda to the point where the people have been driven mad by lies and the destruction of the American culture. We need defense in cyberspace the same way that we need defense against any invading forces. Few, sane, people argue against having a Navy or an Army; it’s just by the nature of the internet as a new technology that we’ve neglected it this long.
And, before you give me the “those who would give up freedom for security...“ line: we already don’t have freedom, we already don’t have security. I often wish that people could recognize that the government of the people and by the people is for the people. And quit treating out greatest tool against tyranny as a whipping boy for whatever personal crap they are going through.

What's Wrong with Clean Code?
You can't properly centrally organize a million people either unless they're culturally homogenous and you also use shared social pressure to enforce the "spirit" of the rules. Of course anyone not in that group is discriminated against so you better have a very homogenous society (the US doesn't anywhere at a state level).
A fairer title should be "A quirk of Gmail UI".

The overall UX of Gmail as of 2021 is a mixed bag, and this is somewhat generously speaking. I mostly rely on search to find emails, as tags get hidden, the "Important" mailbox overwhelms messages the AI didn't deem "important" and the spam filter has never been worse. I was expecting a review of... the quirks of the Gmail UI.
Mining gold removes it from the earth in the future; mining Bitcoin secures the blockchain in the past.

> I want a computer that I own

No, you don't. Or, at least, you didn't want it enough for too long enough!

Each time you sent your friend a document which was not formatted in an open standard, you didn't want a computer that you owned.

Each time you accepted DRM in order to access some nice content, you didn't want a computer that you owned.

Each time you run a program or, God forbids, an OS which you didn't have the source code of, you didn't want a computer that you owned.

Each time you accepted to be target by advertisers as a way to enjoy a "free" service, you didn't want a computer that you owned.

Industry gave you what you wanted. Industry gives you what you still want.

Agile Best Practices You Should Know
I think the things you are complaining about are more personal preferences and being accustomed to Mac / Windows system.

> why can't I easily make a shortcut in ubuntu?
> how about the fact that you can't get full file paths shown in the default file manager,

Is it any worse than needing to find the setting to display file extension in windows?

I am on Cinnamon desktop as it's a bit old school and predictable (for people who have been around since windows 98). I right click a file and I have an option to create a link. And my default file manager shows the full file path in the address bar . So I don't think it's a Linux problem rather than a Gnome 3 problem. But I am sure plenty of people don't mind Gnome 3 (everyone else at my work used the standard Ubuntu desktop.
It really does sound like bullshit at first glance. Just the most basic projectile motion shows you need a muzzle velocity of something like 5km/s, without factoring in drag, friction, etc. With those, you probably need more like double that. What kind of projectile is going to handle being accelerated to that speed over the length of even a very long gun barrel, in sea-level air? 10kg at 10km/s is 500 megajoules of kinetic energy. What the hell is going to be propelling that thing?

Dorico is indeed better, and definitely not a copy of Sibelius UI-wise. Not only was the team starting over with a lot more experience under their belt, but they also had a much better idea of what didn't scale (from a user interface perspective) from the original Sibelius to its current incarnation, which has tons more features.

It's worth pointing out that when Sibelius was first released, it was hugely nicer to use than the industry-leading product at the time (Finale).

Oh, how I despise the Reset button. People put in forms just beacuse it exists, under assumption that it must exist for a good reason. Nobody has any use-case for it other than "I don't know, maybe someone will want to reset the form for some reason."

And even if "filling in the whole form again from the beginning" was a real use-case worth catering for, the reset button would make more sense the beginning of the form (and it wouldn't be such a footgun there!)

And you'd be wrong. Western notation is used throughout the world, even more so than local notation systems.

That's 100% true for classical, jazz, marching band, etc. musicians, but also for musicians in "pop" genres.

Even folk/ethnic musicians around the world, with a few exceptions, are more common to use western notation than their historical notation (if available). If they gig and work with studios and orchestras, that's almost a certain.
I hope you don't mind my asking this, but as a member of technical committees, do you ever get compensated for your time and expertise? Or is it simply a case of being paid by your employer to fulfill this role? Does any of the income from standards access ever make its way back to you, your employer, or other members?
100% of the time, I get confused as to whether or not I’m muted. This really should have text in addition to an icon.

I think at one time there were a number of designers who transitioned from the print/magazine/brochure world to the web. They tended to prize "pixel perfection" and aesthetics over UX and functionality. This way of thinking is fine for making static landing and marketing pages, but is very counter-productive when you are building user-friendly, interactive and responsive applications. This is opposed to people who are actual UX experts who know how to trade off asethetics with usability.

I love Just, but I love it because it's not a build system — I already have a build system, I just need a standard "entry point" to all my projects so each command a user could use to interact with the actual build system is in the same place for each project. I wouldn't build, say, a C project with Just and Just alone, where it tracks the dependencies between files and only rebuilds what's necessary.

So while it's replaced one use of Make for me, I can't rightly call it a Make replacement.

Ask HN: How to bridge the gap between business and IT
The generalists vs specialists discussion [1] for some reason reminded me of a question I had for a long time: how to bridge the gap between business and IT.

I work in finance industry, on business department side, and fairly tech-savvy (e.g. write Python every day and manage SQL database and linux machines).
As such large part of my job is to "work with IT".

A project sometimes needs to be implemented by IT (corporate policy) and that's when I come in as well.
The issue is that when business side, including myself, explains what has to be done, IT misses deadline, over-engineers the solution, and/or misses critical problem due to lack of the big picture.

I always say "ask us any question", but that hasn't worked well so far.
Usually IT people take their own time to study whatever they need (I'm not saying this is a bad thing), but it's just not quick enough for business side.

This leads business people to think it's faster to work without IT (and it is from my experience because we do have enough technical skills), then the gap widens.

Presumably some folks here work for IT department, how do you deal with business requirements, or business people in general?
What can I do to not widen the gap anymore between business and IT?

FWIW I didn't mean to rant here. I genuinely don't know how to improve the connection.

Many shops have a barrier/qualification to entry; membership at Costco for example.

Smartphones are now cheap as dirt. The bigger problem would be having a bank account.

It's not generalist vs. specialist, it's capacity for learning and adaptability that really matters.

When things are steady state, learning capacity and adaptability don't really matter. You do the same thing, the same way, every day. When change is in play, and it doesn't matter if that is technical or organizational, those who can learn faster and change behaviors to meet the change are going to outperform.

I once was given a team of interns and newly minted developers. In 90 days, we were able to write an entire new ETL system while the legacy team struggled to just keep their steady-eddie system running. We replaced 10 years of code and a kill and fill system with a fully differential pipeline that reduced load on the upstream system by 98%. Literally from millions of documents to process every night to a few thousand. Why? Our team was hired for capacity to learn and ability to adapt. The old guard was hired for experience and knowledge. Yes, they knew their stuff. The problem was they were not able to deal with change at all. The best part? Most of the team had never even heard of ETL and knew zero SQL.
First, you're mixing population with the author. He wants his own private computer, maybe the global population doesn't.

Second,participating in a ubiquous system does not mean you support a part or all of it. If I buy chicken from the supermarket, that does not mean I support all the atrocities in chicken farms. I could avoid buying chicken and going vegan, but then the same argument can be made for pretty much any other industry. Someone is getting screwed either way, doesn't mean I like it.
The answer seems to be that these stores wouldn't have existed in the first place. For now, at least, they're not taking jobs away.

> The store is part of the Lifvs chain, a Stockholm-based start-up that launched in 2018 with the goal of returning stores to remote rural locations where shops had closed down because they'd struggled to stay profitable.

Have you ever lived in a country regarded as unfree?
Over ten years ago I started my project/band called Two Games Joined, where I cover tracks from video games and sometimes other popcultural stuff and make them into actual songs with lyrics, plus write original songs inspired by them. The lineup is sort of a revolving door where some people record parts more often and others feature for a song or two.

It's mostly aggressive music with harsh guitars and electronic noise, but it also gets trip-hoppy or mellow sometimes. Most of it would probably be classified as industrial.

Main inspirations: Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Powerman 5000, Rabbit Junk, Alexander Brandon, Amon Tobin, Public Enemy, Killing Joke.

Every country should create its own region where people who don't want to be under government's rule can leave to. It's too easy to say 'leave your country if you don't like it'.

So they've independently discovered the tenets of the Free Software movement. They make valid points, but that's all they've done. I'm surprised there's no mention of this in the comments here.

> I must rely on encryption algorithms that are designed with subtle flaws that can take years, if not decades, to come to light.

Cryptography is an extremely technical field, so yes, you do. That's not really relevant to the matter of truly owning your computer. If you want to personally validate modern theoretical physics, that would also take years of study.

> Even open source encryption algorithms that some claim are above reproach are repeatedly being shown to have major flaws, and the fixes to those flaws have their own major flaws.

Again, a separate issue. That's not a matter of having a computer you truly own, that's a matter of software quality.

> Will this ever end? Will I ever have a computer that I own?

They pose this question as if it's a rhetorical one. The Free Software movement already exists. You can support it with code contributions, documentation, testing effort, money, or advocacy/activism. See [0]. If you don't like the FSF specifically, you can support other initiatives.

From the article:

"There are 24-hour surveillance cameras too, which alert the store's manager Domenica Gerlach if there's a break-in or a stock spillage.

She looks after four stores in the region, usually visiting once a week to clean, stack the shelves and put together click-and-collect orders made online. Lifvs uses artificial intelligence to work out what stock to order for each store, based on the data it collects about locals' shopping habits"
Broken window fallacy argument - we can’t artificially keep doing demonstrably less efficient things for the sake of jobs, it has never worked and never will. If it becomes a problem then we have to deal with it by finding new avenues to employ people or not need employment to live a life.

From a business point of view you obvisously don't need to be accessible to 100% of potential customers to be viable. People without smartphones are probably less <0.5% of the population.

> proprietary software is the only option, or the only complete option.

If only that were true. I've watched a completely non-IT person work with both vanilla Gnome 3 and Windows 10; they found the former far more intuitive and unobtrusive (not looking at the individual apps, just the basic desktop UI). Proprietary design-by-committee doesn't necessary make for better solutions: hence the numerous complaints recently from people (often with accessibility issues) trying to book vaccination slots on government websites.
If a area that has not had a shop for a decade can now have 80 or 90% of the population served with this method, then I believe not looking for the mythical 100% coverage is a perfectly good thing to do.
US is free only in your holywood-conditioned imagination. Take a look at your prisons and the plea bargain practice. There is no real freedom of expression: no one speaks of your war criminale on "mainstream media", no one discusses the tyranny which your country practice outside of your borders, no one condemns the nazi style hate campaigns against Russia and China. So I think that the 20% should be actually a smaller number..

Dynamic dependencies are supported by build2 (this is, for example, how we handle auto-generated C/C++ headers) but it's not something that is exposed in ad hoc recipes that are written in Buildscript yet (but is exposed in those written in C++). Our plan is to start with the ability to "ingest" make dependency declarations since quite a few tools are able to produce those. Would something like this cover your use-cases?
Many companies that self-insure still contract with an outside administrator that is usually a department/subsidiary of an insurance company. In my experience, there's no material difference. You still have covered procedures, tiers of insurance, etc. I've admittedly never worked for one of the big West Coast companies so perhaps their insurance is more gold-plated than the norm, e.g. I still pay out for my insurance even though my employer does as well.
For sure.
