Well okay, who is he addressing? That’s pretty much the only question I had reading it. Surely it isn’t the modern blogger or clickbait ‘journalists’, since they know what they are doing and we know what they are doing.

It’s possible he simply said nothing.
Surely so!

I just spent a few hours signing up for newsletters I had saved previously and gathering submit POST requests, concatenating it into one script, etc. I honestly can't think of any white hat use for it (besides what I did). I haven't open sourced it, because it will probably be used for malicious purposes by script kiddies 99% of the time, and I don't really want that associated with me.

In my case, I actually prefer my languages to be more opinionated. Nim implements just about every paradigm it can think of, and if there are multiple ways to implement a paradigm, it implements them all. It feels like a sophomore college student who keeps switching majors.

Some people prefer "There is Only One Way to Do It" languages.

Some people prefer "There is More Than One Way to Do It" languages.

Nim is more like a "There Are Seven Ways to Do It and the Eighth Way is Planned" language.
Yep, you really have to have been an author during the time the switched to the non-optional optional paywall to know how much of a bait-and-switch it has been.

Thank you. I’m going to hop on now and try this out.

Can also confirm, a percentage of our customers see Amazon as a fighting word. They conflate the store with AWS. The store is their competitor.

OK HN help me out on this one. This whole NFT phenomenon just has to be primarily driven by money laundering right?

Like there's no possible way a person, who is in possession of $69 million dollars, has decided that they'd rather have this image file right? It's impossible.

So we must conclude that what's actually happened is they have $69MM in gains, and they're a known entity, and they'd like to offset that with $69 in loss somehow and transfer the gain to an unknown or untraceable entity.

Prove me wrong.
I actually have done a few projects with TS, but none of them were really put to the full professional SDLC test. e.g. managing upstream dependency changes, lots of developers contributing, business constraints, etc.

Personally I am very bullish on Deno, which goes beyond just native type system, but we'll see how that project ultimately plays out.
This article would benefit greatly from some code samples.
I feel like it's a pretty accurate description.

Also, it's perfectly acceptable to appreciate the technical stuff but strongly dislike the person. Which is the case here.

Q: "Can I see a demo of Webiny in action?"

A: "We don't host a public demo at this time. You're welcome to install it yourself, or book a call with us and we'll prepare a demo for you."

Investing the time to install it ourselves or book a demo just to see the framework in action adds a lot of friction.

You might want to considering moving the 7 minute Webiny overview to a more prominent place - I didn't see the thumbnail under your navigation's Product menu until after hunting through numerous other pages, poking through getting started tutorials, and even ending up on your documentation page.

Failing at chicken parmesan is almost impossible with a decent recipe so the recipe should for most part not be "add a dash of this and add a dash of that, you decide!" It's a fairly predictable dish.
I don't think the parallel to be drawn here is against physically squatting in property the occupants do not own, but with people who buy property and use it as a value sink; as seen with a sizable portion of non-domestically owned property investment in London, Vancouver and other high value regions.

Such property can be seen to sit unused by anyone, but it's lack of availability (when it could otherwise be used) contributes to the scarcity of property in that district, and thus inflation of property prices in that area (be it naturally occurring or otherwise)

I'd rather "write usefully" than "write simply". If a "fancy" word is more useful for getting my thoughts across, then I will use it.

I think of "useful" language as a balance of precision, concision, and understandability. If I use terms that I don't expect my audience to understand, then my language not very "useful" even if it's the most precise and concise. Conversely, there's no reason for me to refrain from terms which I expect my audience to understand if using them makes my language more precise or concise.
Probably a good idea to filter the "output", but I'd imagine this would be interesting for a lot of people to filter tap water as it comes in as well, combined with whatever other filters you may already have.
Jargon that builds on intuition can be its own problem. Jargon, by its very definition, has explicit technical meaning in a specific domain. Intuition in words is based on vernacular usage. It is vanishingly unlikely that the vernacular usage aligns with the domain-specific usage of a given term. This leads to plenty of false assumptions, and forces people to disambiguate jargon-usage vs vernacular-usage, which may both be found in a single piece of writing.

See economics for a great example of jargon-vernacular crossover.
In my case, I didn't see any reset in Firewall settings or Limit Ad Tracking as I just updated one of my macOS Big Sur from v11.2.2 to v11.2.3 (on a MacBook Pro 2015).

I am not an archeologist, but I suspect that this is due in part to how and where intact objects are discovered. Usually a vase, statue, figurine, or other object will only survive in tact over thousands of years if it's left in a sequestered area and treated with extreme care. Further Archeologists tend to focus on objects that appear to bear cultural significance and hence are unlikely to report on "common" items.

There is a somewhat nascent set of research which focuses on the common items and their leftovers. Even cities annihilated by time leave behind pottery, and currency fragments in the dirt. You can even correlate these fragments with other cites to identify the extant of a trade network.
I wouldn't put it like that. I would say that each user using Netflix should pay the same amount. So you pay for yourself, your wife pays for herself, and your kid pays for themselves.

Sure, it's 3 times more than what you pay today. But you are 3 times as many people as I am, so why shouldn't you?
Wilfrid Sheed was friends with Lowell's first wife, Jean Stafford. Sheed remarks on the intensity of Lowell's vanity, and quotes his father, for whom Stafford had worked, as saying that she was unfortunate to have become famous before Lowell did.

The man suffered, no question. But he seems to have been very hard on those around him.
I mean, it's not super weird to see a globe structure somewhere and assume it's just a globe without being part of some elaborate country-wide solarsystem.

My first experience with an online service was Prodigy sometime around 1995 or 1996 and one of the first things I stumbled across was the MUD Gemstone 3.

It blew my mind that hundreds of people were all existing in a shared world. I directly attribute my love of computers and software development career to MUD's.

Also, Gemstone is still running: https://www.play.net/gs4/

Webex lacks a native Linux client, and the browser-based version has limited features and in my experience has had some recurring issues with audio and screensharing. So, purely from a user experience point of view, the shift from Zoom to Webex hasn't been painless.

I think the point is that one should use a direct and clear style of writing where the objective is to convey a clear message. Examples include technical papers or journalism. Of course, literature is not included.
I've only ever witnessed consumer-driven ad-hoc integration initiatives, where the team that needs data coerces the team that has data into providing it in a usable form, and people notice stale or incorrect feeds because they are actually in use. Why should a company invest server resources and development effort on "ingesting" data that nobody cares about in a way that doesn't fit any purpose? Attempting to collect "all" data is meaningless.

I’m not aware of any basic that is implemented in itself. There must be one or two somewhere, but typically for systems like the apple ii or Commodore PET, basic was implemented always in assembly.

So most weren’t exactly bootstrapped the way we are talking here.
Isn't the common standard licenses the OSI lists? Things like GPL, BSD, MIT, and Apache are well known, well documented, and very specific to software copyright and its use.

I've read through PolyForm's stuff, and it heavily bases itself on generalized language nonspecific to software, with language like "you can do anything that would normally violate the licensor's copyright", and only later after countering clauses does it go into specifics. I'm not sure I could trust myself or my company to use or evaluate these licenses, especially when it comes to things like "does this license affect the output of this piece of software?" in part because of how weirdly these licenses are broken up and also in part because of how convoluted and generalized they are (general language like this breeds loopholes).

I was very sad my character got scrubbed for not logging on enough. Alas and alack, another relic of life passes because of old age and inattention. The last time I'd logged on was the night PTerry died, and that was a fine capstone for a long career as a Feef on the Disc.
They don't give (at least not that I can find) any specs to how they achieve that efficiency. 20 years ago I looked that up (for a different manufacture) and their vaunted passive house didn't meet the minimum insulation codes for where I lived in the US. The climate in Germany is a lot kinder than US's midwest, and so it probably was passive there.
>People on HN are already primed to appreciate this style of writing.

My perception is the reverse. Probably 60% of the articles linked on this site, day in and day out, are a thicket of impenetrable jargon. Endless blog posts that make no attempt to explain to the non-initiated what the various acronyms mean or why the concepts might matter for a person who is not deeply, deeply immersed in whatever technical field the author is writing about. I wish more people who write about coding/tech would realize that a larger audience is interested in what is going on, but that the communication of the concepts needs to be approachable. This is not just a shortcoming of this field, obviously, as people in all sorts of technical/specialized fields tend to write the same way, speaking only to the in-crowd.
It seems like there's a risk of domain squatters bidding up the price of the object just to make you pay more. Just making a bid tips your hand that it's worth something. They can't tell if it's your cat pictures blog or your unicorn hopeful startup, but the calculation suggests that they'd nudge up the price of the former in hopes of forcing you to tip your hand that it's the latter.

If there's no reserve, they'd still just buy up everything they could get for $.01. If there's a $10 reserve, at least one person would bid $11 just to make you pay $11.01 -- and setting off an arms race that raises the price of all domains, even cat pictures blogs.

Is there something I'm missing?

It makes a lot of sense for tickets, where there's no incentive for domain squatters to bid up the price of an item that's worth more to you than it is to them.

I sure don't like domain squatters, who are the epitome of "why we can't have nice things". But I don't know how to design a system that prevents them without also putting in a lot of friction at the bottom end where intuitively you'd expect there to be practically no cost.
"I don't know what was wrong" articles like this come up really often with Mongo. My team manages thousands of Mongo nodes and we have issues, but few are directly due to Mongo. Mongo's documentation could be friendlier to the operator/maintainer, however the tools for debugging Mongo tend to be sufficient (metric counters, various status/state dumps, general Linux tooling).

You need to understand databases folks. There is no way around it. "Porting to Postgres" does not replace understanding of database internals and figuring out how to debug bad access patterns and explain why they are bad. Blindly migrating data seems like one of the worst things you could ever do - you're not fixing the problem that you don't understand how databases work. I get it - ain't nobody got time for that - but it will come back and bite you with your new shiny fancy tool too if you aren't careful

Anyone who brings up something like master-master hopefully realizes they are talking about a completely different problem now with completely different constraints. Expecting the same access pattern will perform just as well in master-master is wishful thinking - it requires careful design to avoid coordination problems. The meat of the story with databases is: coordination is expensive, distributed coordination is even more expensive

This was really well said. I think a big reason that our perspective is not widely-voiced is that it is very difficult to put into words. It seems obvious.
Your mistake is that you think it's the software that makes the money. It's not. It's the business that makes the money. You meanwhile are searching for "software idea" to make money instead of "business idea" that be driven by software.
That was before C which is what we are talking about.
I agree, but it seems success is highly correlated with ability to bullsh*t. From school essays all the way to CEOs. If you can bluff your way with long stories, spew buzzwords continual assertions, and talk louder than everyone you seem to win.

PG is making some assumptions about who will read and benefit from this essay, and secondarily, who will read and benefit from the writings of his readers.

The assumptions aren't wrong, they're just not explicit. Because he is not stating them overtly, he's getting criticized for not writing like Nabokov or the grand vizier of an emperor.

Most of us will never be Nabokov, or the emperor's vizier. But we will write things for other people that they will need to understand and act on, and those are the people PG is writing for.

An equally good way to state his point would be to echo Feynman: if you can't write it simply, you probably don't understand it. So it's good advice for anyone beginning to write something new, and it's good advice for anyone new to writing.

Write simply first, if you can. And above all, write in a style that your audience can absorb.
Some of them already have recanted their previous stance. That's a large part of the Pandora's Promise documentary (a Sundance film): former anti-nuclear activists who reversed their stance.
"Stealing" and "ownership" are defined by the set of rules (usually national laws) surrounding a thing. In this case, the GP didn't steal anything, they entered a dispute and acquired ownership in accordance with the rules surrounding domain allocation in Denmark.

Excellent question. And in this lies one of the biggest reasons successfully quantizing gravity would be huge. The two theories fundamentally don't mesh. You quickly end up with infinities all over the place.

> Yes, someone could jump in and do something bad, but the greater danger is the encryption/lock system causing an accident by getting in the way of legitimate commands.

That's just not how encryption works...

Also, a malicious actor being able to point a multi-ton rocket filled with explosive fuel the wrong direction would be far worse than the system continuing the mission autonomously.

Now imagine human spaceflight missions where the command stream can be hijacked by anyone with an SDR. Yeah, not happening.

The command stream better be authenticated, and if you're doing cryptographic message authentication, you might as well encrypt the payload so no one else can read it anyways.

> The rocket might be designed to ignore commands coming from the wrong direction and/or signal strength.

You want to talk about something error prone "getting in the way of legitimate commands"? That would be an unbelievably error prone approach. Oh, the rocket accidentally rolled on its axis a few degrees? Ignore all commands to correct it!

Encryption and authentication are extremely reliable.
Fuushima happened. Chernobyl happened. It is not disaster propaganda. Japan was hit with a disaster. Same with USSR.

Nuclear advocates have a tin ear as far as the fact that nuclear failures don't have a theoretical cap on disaster magnitude.

It's a simple enough fact. No theoretical limit to the extent of the damage, beyond "end of life on Earth". Even the dreaded fossil fuel business does its mass extinction events at a more manageable tempo.

Arugably, there should be conventions against use of any technology that has potential for irreversible harm to the environment.
Imagine if we did Google every single person we met, and started a dossier of them with all of the information that we could find and collect about them. That would be a lot of work, but Facebook does it for us.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree a demo would be more useful. We might provide a more comprehensive platform overview in a video format. Operating a hosted demo requires us to maintain it and manage it. People tend to post all sorts of things in those types of environments, and if it’s a shared install base, other users might see content that is not appropriate. We need to find a good balance here, it just something we haven’t had time to get around to.
On the overview video - I’ll see what I can do, it’s a good suggestion, thank you!
I don't think you actually addressed my question to be honest. In your previous comment you introduced racial undertones that it seems to me you're now trying to gloss over by making it about culture instead.
