IntelliJ user here. Both on Windows (personal) and Mac OS (work).

I never understood why people use the terminals built into their IDE. Can you explain the use case for this? Genuine question.

I do certain stuff via the command line and other stuff via the IDE. But switching between windows and just using the native tool for its own job seems the most natural to me. Is there some sort of awesome integration or something that I'm missing out on?
You'll end up a stack overflow situation haha
It still exists, but as other replies have said, it’s worse in academia in general.

The reason isn’t specifically to do with academia - it’s because you’ve entered what’s effectively a state of modern indentured servitude.

Your career (and future) is directly dependent on the person you report to, which naturally leads to them abusing that because they’re human and therefore fundamentally horrid.

The same happens all the time with conditional visas like the H1B. Sure, you could push back, but it’ll mean your life as you know it is over, so you won’t.

I wish I had something nicer to say about this, but sadly I don’t, because humans.

It’s why I work for myself now (which I realise is not an option for many). I’ve too many stories of my own about being abused by employers.
Many things. Besides the already explained buffer overflow, overlap and zero size UB, compiler also frequently chose to ignore it. The secure variant will fill the dest buffer regardless if the compiler thinks this is a useless side effect. Similar to the memset_s security problems nobody cares to fix.

Equivocation. Gp means lack of specific consumer goods, for a set time.

Your comment makes it seem like this would lead to catastrophe or collapse.

It would more likely lead to industry rotation and employment change.

Yes, you can reduce any macro factor to a death count, but those are always trading off in all directions. It's meaningless to categorically single out a particular scenario of swapping production as more deadly than the others.

Why Saudi Arabia Is Building a Linear City
My best analogy for this is to think of Java as like a truck and other languages as like vans (C++) or motor scooters (python, etc). Past a critical threshold Java has absolutely amazing performance (sits in same league as C/C++) but if you imagine driving a large truck around town ... you are constantly starting and stopping, turning into alley ways etc - a truck is not going to do too well. But if you actually have to deliver 50 tons of goods, good luck on the scooter. And a well designed Java app can behave like a scooter but its not the default setting because most people in enterprise settings have truck-like problems.

However the slowness of Java on the desktop is a bit overblown by people's past experience I think .... improvements to garbage collection and hotspot optimisation, and elimination of applets have certainly made a big difference to the type of stalls that used to make people say these things.

If there is no minus zero, then 0.0 and -0.0 are both interpreted as simply a floating-point zero. (= 0.0 -0.0) is always true. If there is a minus zero, (eql -0.0 0.0) is false, otherwise it is true.

It's a matter of figuring out the process. You can swap sets of things based on how easy it is to achieve similar enough economics elsewhere or elsewise.

This isn't some insurmountable problem. Yes, there are scenarios where you go "too fast" and raise too many prices too quickly and piss people off. Or, you go slower and make it more palatable.
It occurred to me that, despite working on Holo for over 6 years now, I've never done a Show HN. The v3.0.0 release is a fitting opportunity to fix that.

I'd particularly appreciate if there are any packagers here who might be able to build packages for Debian, Fedora, Suse, etc. It should be as straight-forward as possible to package holo and holo-build.

I enjoy Reddit, but it's just not designed for smaller communities in my opinion.

The tricky thing with reddit is that it's algorithm tuned for a daily churn. A small sub, like the one you mentioned, may only have a couple good posts a week, but you will miss them if you don't check every day.

If you only browse the frontpage of your subscribed subreddits, adding any popular subreddits tend to drown out the smaller ones.

At least it's the one that came to my mind when I read your description. Being able to vividly remember posts from 86 days ago makes me feel a bit anxious about how much time I spend on HN and how much of my brain is allocated for storing what I read here.
I bought an HP48 in 1990 junior year in college when it came out. A calculator WAS required for engineering school, but this one made everything way easier. I think it was almost $200. Anyway, once you go RPN, you don't go back. It makes way more sense. It finally died 5 years ago: the keys stopped working. I read about how to repair the keypad but finally had to let go. I had all my crib sheets from engineering school stuffed into the pouch. That calculator was epic. I can't imagine trying to do complex math with a slide rule, even though that's how engineers had done it for ages.
My point is that few people work with high frequencies.

For most practical tasks, even the fact that we're working with AC rather than DC can be glossed over. People can plug in 120 V into Ohm's law and get the right result even though actual voltage fluctuates between -170 V and +170 V.
Yep. Adjust risk factors as necessary.

I wrote this in another comment, but I should have been more clear. Since this is the discussion about the Exchange hack, I was thinking in the context of large organizations and their internal IT architecture and being able to build from scratch without legacy bloat.

The challenge is “how do we run this organization as efficiently and securely as possible? What tools does the business need in place to get the job done? Is our current set sufficient?”.

The fact that any company hands a new employee a Windows 7 laptop in 2021 shouldn’t be happening, but a surprising number of Fortune 500 companies are in that state because of legacy dependencies that require Win 7 to operate. I think the ability to give an organization the opportunity to reset every 3 years would keep things efficient, better integrated, and identify legacy issues that often come up and cause emergencies (the guy who wrote that script left the company 5 years ago and it runs on a server under this desk... we just don’t touch it).

Right now, upgrading a payment system may be difficult due to certain dependencies or other legacy internal systems. If the whole architecture is being re-done, there is a lot more flexibility.

Yeah I’ve been looking at upgrades.

I’m working in what is basically a “finished” garage. Not well insulated (but is insulated), windows are leftovers. No finished flooring, just a collection of rugs no longer in the main living space. So it’s the rug room that doubles as storage.

It does keep it cool. Though the florida bugs sometimes get in through the AC itself.

And the LED ones had relatively short battery life; they were rechargeable. When I started college, HP calculators were still very expensive so I started with a TI. Within a year or two, you could get an HP LED model (HP-55 in my case) for a reasonable price. Through college I still took a slide rule to exams as a backup in case the battery died for some reason though I never had to use it. During the latter part of the 70s, calculators were dropping in price extremely rapidly.
I've been using joe since the 90s. One time I was helping someone with their computer and they used WordStar, so I knew the keybindings pretty much for free.
I agree on all of that, but advancing age has forced me to qualify it. I now own more books that I want to read than my expected life span and average reading speed can support. I don’t regret a single moment spent reading crap genre mind-candy. I regret every single moment spent forcing myself through a book that I wasn’t enjoying, because it was something I ‘should read’. I don’t regret starting any of them, and I’ve enjoyed the hell out of some Dickens and Shakespeare, T. S. Eliot and Tennyson. I studied Latin and Hebrew at school. I’ve read half of what Kipling wrote and everything Keri Hulme did. Hell, I used to teach the publication history of the Bible.

But I’ve read four Jane Austen novels (three for credit, one for a failed shot at a Women’s Studies major) and not enjoyed a moment of the experience. Intellectually, I get the quality of the work, but it wasn’t entertaining. It wasn’t pleasant, and life is just way too short for that. Books, even technical ones, get about three chapters to make their case now, if I’m not voluntarily choosing to read it after that, I’m moving on.

The point I made isn't that we should ban hate speech; it's that looking at which countries/companies ban hate speech is a bad litmus test for determining which countries/companies are bad. The parent comment asked if we "ever heard of good people banning books and banning words?". Yes, I have. The majority of democracies have done so. The U.S. is in the minority. Lack of hate speech laws doesn't correlate with any of the major freedom indices or human rights indices.

As a separate point, Canada's hate speech laws have been working quite well. They're used rarely, and only in extreme cases, like a case where a promoter of the Rwandan genocide wanted to immigrate to Canada. Judges understand that "speech I hate" isn't the legal standard for hate speech.

Same pretty much the same for JetBrains stuff. Constant screaming about how to configure their autoformatter compatible to prettifier for specific settings. Not supporting required configs out of the box. And build and IDE often live in completely different worlds. For example, project moodel at gradle and at IDEA is completely different and IDEA one is much more limited. And so on.

Android Studio could hang whole mac while "indexing" and often need to "reset caches and restart" while works just fine in VS Code.
I don't know what this article is really talking about. Yes lots of people hyped it, but it's still a relatively new platform, and perhaps also a new kind of medium, once more peripherals become mainstream. I have been buying VR games and although the don't have the depth of other platforms mostly because of hardware limitations, it's definitely making progress.
Proper VR worlds will become mainstream like MMOs have, it's just a matter of time until all the parts become integrated well enough.
You're not wrong about any trends you mention. I don't know if my level of confidence in seeing all these things through is as high as yours (especially wrt democratic unity). But the doom and gloom outlooks have certainly gotten ahead of themselves.

Companies hiring technical community builders
I've spoken to some Jetbrains employees and it seems their vision of remote development is nothing like what VSCode does. No matter how much I explain they just don't seem to understand the advantages of being able to host the IDE in a docker container/remote system. "Docker isn't supposed to be used for that, you deploy to a container, not develop inside one" they say.
Weitek Abacus 3167 Math Coprocessor – Benchmark vs Intel 387 FPU
Jetbrains IDEs performance is so abysmal I quickly get annoyed and move to something else. Same with XCode.

I find VSCode to be the most feature rich editor whose speed I can tolerate.
VSCode is by no means ideal in terms of resource consumptions or startup speed but the community picked up VSCode for the golden path in the languages I code with (rust, node.js, frontend js) and using other lighter editors is a significant downgrade.

Sublime was incredibly promising but it's not enough feature wise for my experience.
I'd literally throw money into a native and more performant/lightweight VSCode.
Good point, I'll look into removing that step.

An account is needed because up until recently the only input/output possible was through connections with other services, and the way to associate user's with its services was through an account.

I know it's not ideal, but opening public programs in read-only mode is possible without an account:

ContentFly (YC W21) Is Hiring Product Managers and Product Designers
Probably worth mentioning LiquidPiston's new rotary engine design (which has been discussed on HN before):

https://www.liquidpiston.com/how-it-works

(It's like an inside-out Wankel engine. Instead of a triangular rotor in an oval housing, it's an oval rotor in a triangular housing. The advantage is you get a more optimally-shaped combustion chamber, which ought to improve fuel economy and emissions. Also the apex seal-equivalents are easier to lubricate as they're attached to the housing rather than the rotor. They've made a few prototypes and they're working on durability.)
Why not? If an American moves to Europe, in most countries your gig back in the states will be treated as a self employment,at least from taxman's perspective.

BDOS was slow, and depending on platform might not support single keystrokes or single screen updates well. Going through the machines BIOS (or direct hardware access) was generally much more satisfactory, and you could also take advantage of the hardware peculiarities, which BDOS didn't unless it had been well-tailored, which it often wasn't.

That's a pretty clever design, thank you for posting this, I never even heard of it before. I really like the opposing piston trick to get rid of the heavy head, but it does make you wonder how they dealt with the spot where the fuel has to be injected, it's hard enough to get reasonably efficient combustion when you're injecting into the center of the cavity. Did it use multiple injectors per cylinder?

No, hn users are different
SO has strict moderation. That's a very different scenario.

I've moderated forums and tend to generally agree with SO's approach. Not sure I'd leave it to users; we had dedicated moderators do everything. I've seen loosely or unmoderated programming forums, and it quickly goes to shit.

Handing moderation over to fans is a different issue. It leads to strict and horribly biased moderation.
Introduction to Cryptography by Christof Paar [video]
much of the software and design for MS stuff is from a period in personal computer history when people weren't worrying as much about public internet style security problems, so it has always seemed to have been at a disadvantage in the internet era which they have fought hard to try and overcome, but nonetheless a lot of code and culture remains.

this affects not only the operating system and platform itself, but also major applications, development philosophies, major utilities and even the approaches used to operate it in production.

it's actually an interesting question, while internet security problems largely outmoded old pc inspired designs and product-market fit (the diy part time sysadmin), will they outmode the personal operation of any software... that is, will computer security problems grow to the point to where everything must be actively managed and defended?
