There's a lot I disagree with in your comment so let me offer my perspective:

1. I don't think Trump was actually "fascist". That word has lost all meaning, and has been used as an empty political attack for nearly a century. George Orwell literally wrote back in 1946, "he word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’." (https://www.orwell.ru/library/essays/politics/english/e_poli...)

2. It is completely legal to challenge election results, and both parties don't just blindly accept what you're calling the "will of the majority" when it affects their own power. Democrats have challenged election results many times in the past, for example in Bush versus Gore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_v._Gore) in the 2000 presidential election. They also did the same in 2004 and again in 2016 (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/opinion/democrat-republic...). Even right now, during this very election cycle, there is a case where Democrats are challenging election results for a House seat, with Pelosi's support (https://time.com/5950292/iowa-congress-election-rita-hart/). Additionally, although most of Trump's cases were never heard and dismissed on procedural grounds, he has actually won 2/3 of the cases that were actually heard by the court (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/exclusive-accurate-...).

3. Trump did not send his "minions" to attack the Capitol building. The transcript of his speech on January 6th (https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/donald-trump-speech-sav...) explicitly calls for a peaceful march and protest. Twitter's own blog post announcing and justifying their ban of Donald Trump's account (https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspensio...) does not provide any clear evidence of Trump doing this. All it has are vague opinions and hyperbolic claims like trying to suggest that Trump's plan to not attend the inauguration is somehow a "glorification of violence". Keep in mind that there were tens of thousands of people in DC attending Trump-related events and rallies on January 6th. There were thousands even just in front of the Capitol. Only a few hundred actually went past the barriers. Let's also not forget about Democratic politicians encouraging a capitol riot of their own back in 2018 (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kavanaugh-protesters-arrest...) - it didn't receive the same coverage in news media but was a very comparable incident, and resulted in Capitol police arresting hundreds.

> The world desperately needs a replacement for YAML.

The world desperately needs support for YAML 1.2, which solves the problems the article addresses fairly completely (largely in the “default” Core schema[0], but more completely with the support for schemas in general), plus a bunch of others, and has for more than a decade. But YAML 1.2 libraries aren’t available for most languages.

[0] not actually an official default, but reflects a cleanup of the YAML 1.1 behavior without optional types, so its defaultish. Back when it looked like YAML 1.3 might happen in some reasonably-near future, it was actually indicated by team members that the JSON Schema for YAML (not to be confused with the JSON Schema spec) would be the explicit default YAML Schema in 1.3, which has a lot to recommend it.

Just a computer with a bunch of hard drives so you can store your media all in one place.

Hi sorry about the delay. No, I don't. But if you look at the era when it was created (MS funding the SCO lawsuits, MS calling Linux cancer, etc), creating a technology that gave Microsoft _more_ control over computing was definitely the wrong move.

And because of his previous experience developing Gnome, his actions were more influential. So it just sorta depends on how you see the actors in the game. To me, Miguel's support of Microsoft tech (dotnet, and his support of Microsoft file formats) makes him at best a liability to the free world I want to live in. At worst, yeah, a saboteur.
> If your devs aren't good enough to enforce modular design in a single application, what makes you think they're good enough to handle complex distributed systems?

That's a simplistic take on the reasons that monoliths tend towards breaking modularity.

What makes me think managing microservices is perfectly viable is that the last three companies I've been at have been able to do it successfully, with a typical mix of good and less good developers, including cheap offshore devs.

As for handling "complex distributed systems," in many cases all that's really needed is something like a managed container platform. Services like Fargate or Cloud Run, or managed Kubernetes, can do a good job of this. Developers can deploy and publish new services with minimal effort, and most of the operational complexity is managed by the platform.

You do ideally want someone paying attention to overall architecture to avoid obvious pitfalls, such as effectively doing distributed joins via REST calls, and so on. This isn't that hard to understand, though, and teams that don't do the necessary architecture upfront tend to figure it out once they run into those problems themselves.
Is there anything in the articles arguments for operator overloading that would not also apply equally for allowing arbitrary user-defined operators (i.e. infix functions) instead of the small limited set that is built-in to the language?

Personally I'm starting to lean more towards the opinion that infix operators/functions are not worth their complexity even for primitives.

No way. 90kWh/month?

My Silicon Valley house consumed ~450kWh/month (15kWh/day) (before we bought an EV) which is very much on the low side from what I see here. 1100sqft. No A/C. Rarely run the heat. Every single light in the house is an LED. Gas appliances. 2 people, not home during the day.
> In computer science and logic, a dependent type is a type whose definition depends on a value.

(source Wikipedia)

So rusts const generics are (very limited) dependent types.

C++ templates on the other hand you could argue are not types (but templates), but that is nit-picking.

Weather or not dependent types are can be runtime evaluated often is a separate question then weather or not a language has dependent types.

EDIT: The following part is partial nonsense, very POV dependent. I wanted to delete it but that wouldn't be right, so I just added this note.

Through not allowing run-time creation of dependent types makes them much more limited in usability. But then allowing it requires either reflections (still likely very limited/slow/etc.), or part of the type being stored as a "magic" field of the type instance (fast but is that still a dependent type?), or a interpreted language).

The web is the only open platform we have ever had and probably will ever have. To shun it for proprietary app stores and OSes is really disheartening. I'm the exact opposite, the more web apps the better. And sadly, Safari is holding the web back. Not only does it miss many features of modern browsers, it's very buggy. I find I have to make work arounds for Safari specific bugs in almost every website I make now.

Suffix should always be static with SLAAC because it’s your MAC address. Even if you’re using privacy extensions (and you should) you should still be able listen on the MAC address one.

If you’re using DHCPv6 then the DHCP server should take care of DNS as it would for v4.
That's a straightforward proposal. Making wealth non-path dependent means seizing and redistributing it periodically or continuously. That would tend toward economic equality, but since it has the side effect of suppressing the incentive to create wealth, it's an equality of poverty.

> first it's crypto that's easy to steal now it's the goods you buy with crypto or the fiat you have to convert into.

crypto is as easy to steal as any other property.

I was just playing along the game "crypto is safer"

> If an attacker takes the keys to your bank or the keys to your wallet you are compromised

Nope.

If I can prove that the keys to my bank account were stolen I don't lose anything.

That's why, again, we use banks.

> Maybe your bank is insured and will refund your withdrawals if you can prove you were forced to withdraw by an attacke

it's a requirement for members of the World Bank

go see the list of Countries

it includes places like Liberia, Afghanistan, Nicaragua

of course in Colombia or Los Angeles (same level of criminal behaviour) it happens more than in safer places, that still means that the greatest danger is losing your life, not your money.

and how is that different when using crypto?

I don't think that people using crypto become magically bullet proof.

> this is just ignorant - I've witnessed this multiple times. Maybe it's you living in Italy that has no exposure to the realities of poorer countries if you're ignorant of this common attack.

where exactly?

can you point me to some info?

you probably don't know that banks have to reimburse you if someone stole your money from the ATM, because it's their duty to protect them.

but even admitting you are right, they can only steal the amount of money you can withdraw from the ATM

if they get the keys to your wallet using the proverbial gun pointed at your head, you lose everything and can't get it back

police can't even do anything about it (to make it clear, you can prove you had the money before they were stolen, because the bank keeps a log of the transactions made by the ATM machine and can tie them to your persona, how can you prove those bitcoins were your property? if you own the keys you own the wallet)

I'm curious why this hasn't made it to the browser yet and doesn't seem to be explored very seriously. So many web-frameworks revolve around trying to address this issue, why not get rid of the overhead or at least reduce it?
So, keeping track of which device on your network belongs to which MAC address, and reserving an address for each, is that what you mean by ‘annoying’ - the administration of that?

That's... No, don't do that. Slaves could be rounded up and brought back to the plantation by force, have their family members taken away from them, were subject to extreme violence... Super bad take. Super, super bad take.
I’m still in a state of outrage/shock over their article on the “far right” joining telegram in the millions in the aftermath of the capitol riots.

There I was, a week or two removed from helping my roommate move his gigantic Nigerian family group chat away from WhatsApp when [0] pops up in my HN feed.

They actually implied most of those millions of new Telegram users, 94% of which weren’t even in North America, were motivated entirely by the capitol riots.

Completely omitting the fact the WhatsApp -> FB data sharing message was sent to every single user in the world on that very same day, January 6th.

> Mac since OSS can be ported over, but the other way around doesn't really work.

Why then, is brew still considerably worse than apt, and Finder worse than...anything on Linux? You don't need the source code to replicate functionality. Additionally, some tools are better adapted to the philosophy of their 'native' desktops,so they have a challenge architecturaly and with the users mindsets/muscle-memory when ported across platforms.

This is all to say, I agree that it's pretty subjective: I'll take keyboard shortcuts over mouse gestures - so I won't "get" why Mac lovers emphasize trackpad performance so much, and I guess they won't "get" why I rave about system-wide shortcuts and configurability either. I use MacOs for work, but all my home computers run Linux. GNU core-utils are better than the BSD versions that ship on Macs - I will die on this hill
Transfer switches are standard for pretty much any generator setup. An automatic one is a bit more expensive, but hardly a deal breaker.

The part that was most problematic is highlighted below.

> Maybe, if you invest enough time and dedication, you'll realize that all these fancy features that C++ implements are unnecessary.

It's true, you can write anything you could write in C++ in a universal Turing machine. I don't write a lot of assembly any more and haven't written microcode in decades but sure, I could write a web server in assembly code.

unwind-protect is thankfully pretty fundamental to avoid typical resource problems; its more than syntactic sugar. When I started writing C code around 1982 it was the thing I missed the most. Counted strings not only avoid a huge number of security problems and bugs, but have been known to be significantly faster than delimited strings since around the same time.

But sure, if you don't care for them don't use C++.
Right, service discovery is fine.

It's just that two things with wildly different security profiles get referred to with the same name
That sounds still like overloading unless you'd require the infix function names to be globally unique. And if you require global uniqueness then that gets pretty nasty pretty quickly with libraries that might use same names.

Fluxbox/blackbox was even lighter. I think lightweight linux distributions, like damm small linux, could run faster than windows 9x. Unfortunately, easy to use, highly compatible, lightweight linux distros only became popular after the win9x era.
The New York Times retracted their Sicknick story because it was false. All current indications are that Sicknick died of a heart attack, perhaps the stress and anxiety he felt that day aggravated his pre-existing issues but calling that murder is an impossible stretch.

Probably due to differences in standards, like wall isolation (I don't know the english terms). My house has 25cm isolation in the walls and 40cm isolation under the roof. I also have 3-layer windows and a thick metal door. The ventilation system is isolated and the air heat is reused to save electricity. This is for a 260sqm house.

If you hate to say it, then don't say it. Sure, it seems like everything would be so much simpler if we could merely sort everybody into two groups of good people and bad people, and punish the bad people. That's the tired old authoritarian fallacy.

In reality, you've got an endless supply of people who will make a mess once with your unpopular system and not care, good faith accidents unable to make amends, people that refuse to show IDs and piss on the reader on general principle, people unjustly blamed by your system for someone else's mess with no appeal, fake IDs, and inevitable tie in to other delusional top-down systems that multiply these problems.

The fact that you have to use quoting nearly everywhere is a design flaw in the Borne shell. Some shells, like Plan 9's rc, for example, don't expand after variable substantiation. They have an operator to call if you want to explicitly force expansion. That's so much cleaner and less error prone.
DEC, SunOS, AIX, HP-UX, etc. were all proprietary. So they weren't Unix either?

Sure, I'm not saying his contributions were worthless. (Some people even like using Gnome for some reason! - I kid, I kid) But it is his contributions that lend him credence and so when he uses that credence to support Microsoft's soft EEE strategies, it's kind of a let down. Whether Miguel sees it like that or not, it's just how it felt to me during his reign of influence. Clearly so did RMS.

For example, he supported standardizing on Microsoft's file formats. The same formats that continue to cause problems for alternatives to excel and word to this day. And his support of dotnet at a time when Microsoft was funding the SCO lawsuits, and calling Linux cancer, rattling patent sabers etc are either tone deaf or disinterested in the freedoms given to use by FOSS.

Or maybe he's a saboteur. He definitely worked for Microsoft long enough. :D
Probably not, that would be my guess.

I enjoy hiking (what we call it in the states) but I don't always have the time or access to an ideal trail without a lot of travel. To 'hack' around this I use a weighted backpack (a.k.a ruck sacking) and either just wander interesting neighborhoods or hit the easier nature walks/trails. After about an hour you kinda get similar physical exertion and the feeling of a longer hike without the time or trudge costs. I still like to do some 'real' hiking when I can but rucking is a nice way to squeeze in a little outside time when I can.
I don't get why this is necessary.

>I like Firefox a lot on the desktop, but I have no illusions it'd stand in the way of total Chrome domination on its own. The only thing that really throws a wrench in Google's plans is iOS.

The thing that currently is holding Google from extreme derivations is actually Microsoft's edgium I think. Microsoft is one of the few companies out there with enough resources to hold a hostile fork of Chromium capable of easy/fast adoption.

If Chromium decides to do something ridiculously egregious. It is possible for it to 1) not affect Microsoft browsers or 2) for Microsoft to maintain a fork and win marketshare fast.
