You are overthinking it. A lot of software just doesn't need elaborate updates.

For one utility app that I sell, I just build a new version every couple of years when it's no longer compatible with the latest OS, and people still buy it. There really is no need for updates for some apps.

If there is demand for updates (eg. because customers want new features), then you can just sell it as a new app. People who want to upgrade can get the new version. And people who are happy with the old version can just continue using that.

The folks who complain that they can't sell yearly updates on the app store are basically just trying to sell subscriptions without calling them subscriptions. They should just sell their apps as a subscription instead. It's not really pay-once if users have to buy an upgrade every year.
I also completely agree with throwaway53086 & with aviraldg about why the girls always perform better academically, especially in the primary school, because what they said matches perfectly my experience.

I grew in Europe and, until I was about 10 years old, I firmly believed that the girls must be much smarter than the boys, precisely because they always received much better grades at school.

Alas, eventually I was disappointed and I lost this belief, when I understood that the good grades received by the girls were determined only partially by their knowledge of the subjects on which they were graded and that a large part of the grades was caused exactly as throwaway53086 said, because the girls were "much more likely to obey rules and instructions".

Looking back to the previous years, it became obvious for me that every time when a girl and a boy proved to have identical knowledge about mathematics or biology or whatever else was tested, the disciplined girl received a high grade, while the naughty boy received a low grade.

The girls always did whatever the teacher asked, while the boys failed to do homework, did not pay attention to what the teacher taught and so on.

At that time I was reading a huge amount of books, so even when I was nine-year old there were some fields, e.g. biology, about which I knew far more than my teacher.

Obviously, pointing to errors in what the teacher taught was also a recipe for low grades, in comparison to those who did not question her wisdom.

In primary school, everybody that I knew had the same experience, with the grades that were influenced by the discipline and obedience demonstrated, which favored a lot the girls.

In high school and university, I have no longer seen such cases, the grades received by everybody were mostly correct, but the girls continued to be on average much more disciplined and obedient, which resulted in good grades across the curriculum.

On the other hand, many boys liked only some subjects at which they obtained good grades, while neglecting the others, at which they obtained low grades, resulting in a low average.

In high school and university there was also the same problem that I had first encountered in the primary school, that with the exception of the best teachers, the teachers who were not so good themselves gave good grades only to the mediocre students, while both the bad students and the very good students (who knew more than the teacher about what was taught) received low grades.

The girls were usually not affected by this, because even when they knew that the teacher was wrong, they would not confront him or her about the errors.
Interesting, thanks. Do ETSI do this in the name of making the ISO standard freely accessible, or is it done for some other reason?
Using buzzwords as thought-terminating cliches. You seem angry that Israel managed to defeat its self-declared enemies - people who explicitly attempted genocide and failed. Seems like you "are implicitly taking the side of jihadist eliminationist aggression against the people living there".

You can do this with OneGraph (https://www.onegraph.com) via our `poll` subscription.

Here's an example query that will poll an npm package and send a payload whenever the latest version changes.

https://www.onegraph.com/graphiql?shortenedId=FYH1SY

subscription PollNpmPackage {
poll(
webhookUrl: "https://example.com"
onlyTriggerWhenPayloadChanged: true
schedule: { every: { minutes: 60 } }
) {
query {
npm {
package(name: "graphql") {
distTags {
latest {
versionString
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

This is just an illustrative example. I used NPM because it doesn't require any authorization. We also support proper subscriptions for NPM that listen to their couchdb change feed.
In the PoS game, the stakers must be trusted to report their dice roll accurately. To overcome this, you would need some kind of random oracle which can't be influenced by any of the participants.

Yes, and cleaning up the excess CO2 will be even more expensive, not to mention the unrecoverable damage to ecosystems, even more expensive to paper over.

But they got theirs and in 25 years will be gone.

This is why every cost argument as well as CO2 pricing scheme fails, and why were in the dire straits now.
Of you break a spindle or a stretcher, especially at a tendon, then doing a proper fix does take skill and specialized tools. Disassembly really isn't an issue, because, like you said, some heat and pressure will release most joints with ease.

But actually fixing a break does take skill. If you're lucky the pieces will mate back together seamlessly and you can use wood glue and maybe some wax to get the piece looking like new and just reassemble them. But if the break is not clean, or there has been a previous repair (maybe involving screws or nails) then replicating a piece is pretty difficult. Turning a new piece requires a lathe, color matching stains is definitely a skill you acquire through experience.

Chips on surfaces and the like pretty much require you to have a decent collection of veneer on hand, in order to luck out and find something with similar grain patterns.

I do a fair bit of antiquing and (proper) refurbishing of old furniture (not 'upcycling'). It's not for the faint of heart. It's a time-consuming labor of love that's akin to maintaining a classic car.
@tasn, do you have a client library?

Threads: Have Conversations Around Code
I don't want to do whataboutism and I completely agree that international arms trade is a seriously evil, especially with the kind of partners the article mentions...

But I really don't like the overall tone of the article and the way it paints Israel as uniquely nefarious. Eg:

> In the Israeli cyberweapon sector, he argues, “the companies are implementing government policy.” Mack says Israeli companies are not truly private, like their European or American counterparts. “Israel has so much military sensitivity” that, in effect, many of these cyberweapon sales are “military agreements between governments.”

Oh please.

You will never find an arm sales from French, British or American companies that wasn't mediated on some level by their respective government.

In France the top executives of weapons companies (eg Dassault, Thales) often come from the same school (ENA) as the political elite, and are always well connected to whoever the current president and ministers are. Thales in particular is owned at 25% by the government.

Israel plays the same game everyone else in the world plays, they just happen to have a more immediate stake in it. Any discussion of weapon sales that doesn't mention the broader picture is misleading at best.
American society has polarized, it is true. Still, I believe only a tiny fringe minority will openly claim indifference to the WTC attacks because they haven't affected them personally. Much less show any support for the terrorists who committed these attacks.
Meta comment, a lot of comments here are not as measured, accurate, or carefully worded as the Damore "memo".

Damore was sacked for his memo. Well, arguably he was sacked for people (at his workplace, using company resources and time) making disingenuous and vicious attacks on him (often misrepresented what he actually said), far less accurate or polite or measured than anything Damore said, creating enough of an internal activist movement that the boss had to cancel his trip to the Maldives IIRC.

Fwiw, Triplebyte has a fast track program which allows candidates to do a 2 hour proctored pairing session. Companies can use that as a way to filter and take over at least part of their hiring process - it’s a one and done thing for a candidate dealing with any companies through the platform. We’re currently experimenting with it.

It would be nice to have something like this completely divorced from a recruiting engine though.
We had an unfulfillable mania to complete our collection (which we now know is was VERY difficult/expensive due those 1-2-5 cards that were super rare). Supporting the developers with a couple of dollars didn't hurt anyone. As long as the kids won't try to "complete the collection of all hats). That would teach them to control their spending, understand that they can't just 'buy what they see' (as some young adults get to do on their first paychecks), and chores-chores-chores!
It may be true that men have historically dominated the top of most institutions—that most "oppressors" are men—but it doesn't follow that the majority of men are privileged or that most women are oppressed and disadvantaged, especially in modern western societies.

> Compare this to solar and battery storage: You can literally build a factory for both in the same ten or more years it takes to build the nuclear power plant. There is absolutely no physical reason not to produce 100 times as many batteries and solar panels as we do now. Resources are abundant (you can replace rare materials at a slight cost of efficiency).

Let's do the numbers. Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada costed $5B. Nuclear costs something like $6B per installed GW. Gigafactory can produce 35 GWh of storage per year, which is just over one day of storage for a single nuclear reactor.

Now, how much these batteries cost? Let's be generous to Tesla, and assume that unit price will be around $100/kWh. That means that the Gigafactory can produce $3.5B worth of batteries per year.

Suppose you have $6B dollars. What would you rather buy, 2 years worth of entire output of Tesla Gigafactory, that would give you 3 days worth of storage at 1GW output, and which would still require spending additional billions on building primary generation (solar and wind), or one nuclear reactor that would give you the same 1GW for next 50 years, with very low operational costs?

Primary battery storage simply doesn't make economic sense at grid scale at the moment. This is not to say that renewables are stupid, or that batteries are useless. It's just the idea of using wind/solar + batteries as a base load just doesn't make sense at current level of technology, and this is why nobody is actually doing it, or planning to do it. If, or when it starts to make sense, you'll see entrepreneurs invest billions in buying up batteries and setting up battery farms. However, this does not make sense now, and will not make sense for probably at least another decade.
I really don't see how you can blame environmentalists? Are you saying it was those meddling environmentalists that kept nuclear from dominating... in every country (except maybe france)?

I think the reality is fossil fuel was damn cheap and nuclear was not.
France did it right-ish. They have to import peak power as their reactors cannot ramp quickly enough.

I notice the downvotes to my post, but what you was told is demonstrably wrong.

As for how/why it works:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7069085/

"Fasting before or after wound injury accelerates wound healing through the activation of pro-angiogenic SMOC1 and SCG2"

There are various other publications on autophagy (removing old stem cells and making new ones)

For those who are going to say "in mice", the effects of true (water only) fasting has been replicated in humans, in well done trials, in even harsher conditions than surgery: chemotherapy.

Fasting improves various things such as the severity of symptoms during chemo and the efficiency of the treatment:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5921787/

"Short term fasting during chemotherapy is well tolerated and appears to improve quality of life and fatigue during chemotherapy"

It may be counter intuitive, but there's a large body of evidence that fasting promotes healing (check the various reference of this 2018 trial: "Fasting cycles retard growth of tumors and sensitize a range of cancer cell types to chemotherapy" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22323820/ etc

This is only about PoW/PoS, not decentralisation. Ofcourse, PoW/PoS is meaningless if participants are not able to validate.

So, in the end it's all about the pride in being able be a part of the tallest set of bricks, hah!

> Implicit here is the claim that giant companies do hilariously dumb things a greater fraction of times than small companies, but I have seen absolutely zero evidence of that.

I don't think that's necessarily what is implied. Small companies make decisions with many orders of magnitude less resources applied to making those decisions, so we expect the outcomes to be significantly worse on average. If Google spends 100,000 times the resources on its decisions but the outcome is only 10x better than the output of a random small company, that is notable.

You must not have read the article.

From the article

It appears that copper was initially loaded into the first shipment of containers, before being surveyed by an inspection company. Seals used to prevent fraud were then affixed to the containers.

The product was real and loaded into shipping containers. After it was inspected and sealed the fraudsters switched out the cargo as it left the port. There was even Insurance fraud with some group providing fake Insurance coverage (one real policy with the rest being forgeries) for the seller.

These firms aren't fools, they do this everyday and understand what to do, shit happens.
Nice job. Also very envious about your globetrotting. I am also in the process of writing my book(to be published as an open-source project) that supports a particular learning audience.

Your opinion.

Even the micros of the 70's, not just 80's, were useful. Not just for fun. Even for work. Just do some Googling. And check out recent
HN thread about Don Lancaster's sites and work, for just one interesting example. There were many more. Heard of Steve Ciarcia? Jerry Pournelle? BYTE?
SCSI? S-100? Z80? 6502? 6809? Acorn? VIC-20? Commodore-64? BBC Micro? Amstrad?
Also, without those precursors, you would not even have the h/w and s/w stuff you may consider "useful" today. Because, evolution.
Another thing to mention: there is not only the compatibility at the side of software (scripts), that to me is easy to maintain (just keep the old software with the new compatible one and you are done).

The most important thing is compatibility with humans. The main reason because I tend to use a pretty standard setup is because I know that these tools are the standard, I need to ssh into a server to resolve some issue, well I have a system that I'm familiar with.

If for example on my system I have fancy tools then I would stop using the classic UNIX tools, and then every time I would have to connect to another system (quite often) I would type wrong commands because they are different or totally not present or have to install the new fancy tools on the new system (and it's not always the case, for example if we talk about embedded devices with 8Mb of flash everything more than busybox is not possible).

To me the GNU tools have the same problem, they got you used to non POSIX standard things (like putting flags after positional arguments) that hits you when you have to do some work on systems without them. And yes, there still exist system without the GNU tools, MacOS for example, or embedded devices, some old UNIX server that is still running, etc.

Last thing, if we need to look at the future... better change everything. Let's be honest, if I could chose to switch entirely on a new shell and tools, and magically have it installed on every system that I use, it would probably be PowerShell. For the simple reason that we are no longer in the '80 where everything was a stream of text, and a shell that can manipulate complex objects is fantastic.
I feel the different vignettes also provide something relatable to more people than one story would

> So Israel, a tiny nation, received almost half of all condemnations by HRC.

> It's abundantly clear that Israel is singled out for "special treatment"

No, what is abundantly clear is that Israel is a state that engages in supremacist tactics, land grabs, war crimes, and is essentially occupying vast tracts of stolen Palestinian land. Everyone knows it, but because of people like yourself who fling the accusation of "antisemitism" against anyone who dares question your neocon war machine, nobody can say it. There would be far more condemnations against Israel from nations all over the planet if it didn't have such disastrous consequences, politically, to do so.

Look at the tip of the iceberg for what happens when someone goes up against your feisty little nation: https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/diplomacy/article/2145304/jap...

They served the PM of Japan food out of a shoe. A tremendously offensive, targeted act of personal humiliation. Many such stories. Any attempt to push back on this ruins careers and lives.

Not a surprise that many of the people most vehemently against free speech are your countrymen - you have the most to lose, because if people can freely discuss things from the Balfour Declaration through the Suez Crisis, the USS Liberty, the first and second Gulf Wars, etc. with the positions and actions of your country accurately accounted, you look pretty bad. Much better to clamp down on discussion and call any serious dialogue on the topic Hate Speech so as to avoid having to answer difficult questions.

The defense always comes down to "if you don't agree with Israel's foreign policy, you're Anti-Semitic, and therefore a Neo-Nazi", and it's a weak and tired defense. It doesn't work when the people that are calling you out are diverse and have well-researched positions.

Much like America, your nation has sins to atone for, except I don't see any honest dialogue on the topic emerging. Perhaps you personally could learn how to be a voice for change instead of a partisan troll.
