It’s a fun read but I concur with other commenters about it being a sarcastic rant about something the author doesn’t enjoy (probably because they are doing it wrong - also surprised a Canadian would complain about not having the right shoes given the “no bad weather, only bad clothing” mantra Canadians live by. ).

> Windows 95 is probably the oldest OS easily usable by young people.

I grew up in DOS days, and a lot of kids back then were using it just fine. You learned some dual pane commander, how to navigate/copy dirs/files around on floppies, a:, c:, what files are runnable and you could run and share games and programs.

It was not that incoherent either. Norton/Volkov/M602 commander was the main interface, had popup menus for most functions (so everything was quite discoverable), and the rest was just about running random executables you got from someone on a floppy. There was barely any multitasking. At most you got to run some resident programs (mouse driver or various cheats for games :)). It was conceptually simpler than what you get these days.

And having a file manager as a primary interface kind of invited you to explore what's on your computer.

People who still like to use two pane file managers probably come from those days. :)
So whenever the program used for extracting ZIPs has a vulnerability any website could force-download a malicious ZIP and it would automatically be extracted and trigger the vulnerability...

Why is "force-download" even a thing? IMO the browser should always ask before downloading any file. Though this is not a unique Mac thing, I believe Chrome does that everywhere.

The fact that people introduce naming conventions to keep track of member variables is probably the biggest condemnation of implicit member access. People clearly need to know this, so you'd better make it explicit.

It's actually a bit surprising that this is one thing that javascript does better than Java. In most other areas, it's Java that's (sometimes overly) explicit.
> Requiring the PR to be closed before the code runs would solve this.

That's not going to work! You want to make sure all the tests that run as part of the CI pass before you merge. What you can do is to make a blanket ban on auto-running the CI pipeline if the CI config was changed till the maintainer clicks Run Actions.
You can no longer have a freebie compute tier on ANYTHING, because the cryptocriminals swoop in and abuse 100% of it.

Anyone who is a "extreme power user" is doomed to fail on any new platform. You should approach a new platform planning to learn and embrace what you find there, and become a new power user. Trying to port over the most "extreme power user" workflows you're used to on one system is inevitably going to fail. This was doomed from the start.
In theory yes, you're supposed to migrate away from the legacy codebase.

In practice I've never, ever, ever seen that happen: it's too much upfront cost to start over, especially when you have real customers and real data on top of it and you need to keep pumping out new features.

I also find this with code syntax. Because looking it up is so easy, I don't bother remembering it. Back in the 90's I remembered all this, no problem. Now I have to keep checking how to initialise an array in whatever language I'm in.

It comes closest at least. I’m not sure if it’s more than rumors, but they are persistent that NSA and similar actors can de-anonymyze tor users.

Cats have personalities.

I'm sure you know this, but maybe have not considered it in this context.

There have been humans in my life I did not like, or who drove me bonkers. Perfectly good people, but just a personality conflict. Who's to say, that it isn't the same for some cats? Just a personality conflict, and so they seek life elsewhere.

And only a 100 years ago, most cats were farms cats, as most people lived in rural areas. Many cats were barn cats, familiar with humans, but mostly wild, living off of mice and other vermin.

Those genes don't vanish in 100 years. Maybe some of those older cats just preferred independence?
Came to say something very similar. While having a prominent call to action button makes sense, the call to action is basically ALL I see when I land on an iPhone. There’s 0 chance I will click a button without some enticement as to what the service is about.

And given that it’s a site aimed at helping you sell yourself or your work to people, then the first thing we would want to see is a very compelling sales pitch.

E.g., make the site a resume for itself. “See how beautifully this site is being sold to you? Imagine doing that for yourself / your stuff!”
Copyright law is definitely definitely federal. There are no state-by-state differences to copyright in the USA, it is exclusively federal. You are right the constitution gives the federal government (not the states) the authority to create it.

FWIW I'm from Australia (Melbourne), which mostly eradicated the virus last May, then had a resurgence in Jun-Aug, and it took hard lockdown from early August to November to get the outbreak fully under control - effectively four months of pretty strict lockdown. We managed to beat it but it was hugely costly.

Australia, like NZ, is an island with a relatively (compared to US and Europe) small, compliant population, so it's much easier for our governments to control our international borders and internal movement. But it was still incredibly hard, and slow.

We did it, which I'm pleased about, but I understand why what Australia and NZ have done is not possible in the US and Europe; they have much denser populations and many different jurisdictions and cultures all meshed together, so it's much harder to restrict movement and apply restrictions consistently enough from one place to another.

So, sure, take comfort that we live in places that were able to avoid major outbreaks, but resist preaching that any other country/continent could have done it just as easily, as it really isn't that simple.

When you use ; and possibly {, }, code statements / blocks are specified redundantly (indentation + separators), which can cause inconsistent interpretation of code by compiler / readers.

I find it much, much easier to look at code and parse blocks via indentation, than the many ways and exceptions of writing ; and {, }, while an extra or missing ';' or {} easily remains unspotted and leads to silly CVEs.
Does it actually ship with Linux installed though?

That, I think, is the main difference. I had an XPS 15" and I was totally unable to get any support from Dell when running Linux on it. I understand the XPS 13's are marketed as being more "Linux-friendly", but I don't know how supported they are.
Sorry, I didn't though that would offend you.

I just think that those issues are relatively easy to fix and that you can still have the proprietary gpu modules to get OpenGL 4.1 back.

Windows is, unfortunately, just following the general trend of letting brain-dead "UX designers" make everything look like a website on a fucking iPhone. More wasted screen real estate, fewer features, slower to load, and built-in adtech.

> My chosen password manager (1password) still has a fairly awful linux experience.

This is my biggest roadblock to Linux as well. I don’t sync to 1Password.com though and that’s all that is available, so it’s more than just a poor experience for me.

I thought about trying to share a Keepass database but that’s had some issues. I tried sharing via Keybase and had a weird issue that when I edited something in Keepass, it was unreadable in Linux. I didn’t have a problem if I shared it via USB drive though.
I agree, but I think it needs to be aimed at "mined" crypto. There are cryptocurrencies that's don't involve mining and don't have those issues

Let this be a lesson to developers of MVPs.

No matter what, use Unix timestamps for times and then account for time accordingly using libraries that have done this heavy lifting for you.

It's easy to just use local timestamps out of the gate, or any other shortcut that doesn't account for the fact that timezones across the world are weird and changing, and the whole daylight savings thing.

The amount of technical debt you can get into when your app gets popular around the world can be soul crushing, and it's certainly not an good user experience when local time isn't available to them in your app.

"pointer is not giving you much information about the availability of the data behind it"

"elaborate on this with an actual concrete example"

The pointer may get invalidated, for example by reallocation of the underlying data structure:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

struct ItemPrinter
{
int* ptr;
void print()
{
std::cout << (*ptr) << std::endl;
};
};

int main()
{
std::vector<int> items{1};
ItemPrinter foo{&(items[0])};
while(items.size()<1000)
{
foo.print();
items.push_back(2);
}
}

When push_back exceeds the vector capacity, it needs to reallocate and `foo.ptr` gets invalidated.

Output when executed via http://cpp.sh/

Lots of folks butt-hurt that somebody doesn't share their enthusiasms. But honestly, my favorite hikes are to a cabin, where I stay for several days. Some of us don't enjoy the same things. I identify with the author.
I just went back to their site to check, and the 14 they show now looks different to mine. I guess there's a previous version that I bought back in late 2018?
it's not a waste if somebody was willing to pay for it.
In the age of the internet, file extensions are a good idea, they should be visible by default, and people need to learn to recognize them. There's a lot of malware that gets people to run it by being an executable with an icon of an innocent file type, like an image. If you don't see extensions, you have no idea it's an .exe instead of a .jpg.
I've done the same thing for decades! Soul mates?

It's fashionable to hate XML because it was used in a lot of places it was a bad fit in the 00s, but at least it's a pretty good document language.

YAML though is always a bad fit. If you want machine readable config, use JSON; human readable, use TOML. When does YAML ever fit?
That's kinda the point - Apple is no different from any other platform in this respect.
Maybe has something to do with cached driver configuration, but I don't know which version of Windows introduced it.
It has to do with remembering which drivers were loaded the last time the OS ran and loading those first on reboot. Saves time on checking the whole driver catalog.
If the US devalues its currency, yes that does make American exports more attractive. However, the way the global financial system works with the dollar as its core, the Americans basically need to constantly serve as an importing nation, buying German BMWs and Chinese laptops so that the rest of the world has a fresh supply of dollars. Thus the dollar needs to be relatively stronger than these exporting countries' currencies to make sure the global financial system isn't starved of dollars. It's honestly an enviable position that the United States is in, because they can borrow money essentially for free (the 10 year treasury bond yield is 1.69% and inflation in 2021 was about 1.7%). So basically the US supplies the world with the dollars it needs to conduct global trade, and in return it can borrow for free from creditors.
I wonder whether the HN post was before or after they practically tested their theoretical riding skills.
Also heavy elements that are required in enzymatic processes. I developed a theory about this many years ago after living on a volcanic island, and then told it to an astrophysicist at NASA, who said I should use it as my application essay to Stanford, which must have at least been entertaining enough for them to give me a chance. I don’t think it was a normal planet though. The high density and existence of gold here suggests a chunk of supernova emission. This planet may be exceptionally rare, and I worry about life ending because there aren’t a lot of these flying around anymore.

It depends on the area of the law and the field of application. E.g. criminal law and stuff that is meant to cut into civil liberties is very precise and letter-of-the-law style. Any criminal act needs to be defined in the law, you-know-what-we-mean isn't acceptable there. On the other hand consumer-protection, environmental regulations and stuff like that is interpreted more in a you-know-what-we-mean-style. Of course there are areas where both styles overlap.
Yes, that looks like a right way to handle this problem without ignoring YAML spec. Define what to parse upfront.
> Can it be a smarter gateway that only triggers a main cpu wakeup when there's something important to notify the user of, like an incoming call or sms?

That's how it works.

> Is there anyway to make the modem more efficient, since its cpu is just consuming power and not adding much to the functionality of the phone?

Modem is sleeping most of the time. (at least with my driver) It's much more efficient than the main A64 SoC. Like 10mW sleep vs 100mW sleep.

> Can you think of a more efficient protocol between the modem and main cpu then the AT-based ril with constant status checks?

ModemManager/ofono are not using AT interface, I think. They are using QMI.

Anyway, you don't need constant status checks even with AT interface. You just enable status indications you want to receive and that's what you'll get without polling.

And you can setup wakeup on call/sms too.
All kinds of music get me to concentrate. If I am particularly sluggish, I choose faster paced, more energetic music to get me going(genre is not a factor). With the music on and pluged in my ears, I grab my laptop and literally walk around the premises (to keep the momentum going) till the battery runs out. This puts me in trance-like state of mind where I am able to work through ridiculous amount of technical material that would be very dificult otherwise. I do not recommend this, though. Probability of tripping and falling is too high.

Currently, I have Amazonia by Gojira[0] on repeat. My mind knows all the ins and outs of this track so it's a really tasty audio glucose for my brain while it's doing heavy lifting.

To be fair, I know lots of people who will walk 2 sides of a triangle because they know how to get from A to B and A to C, but just don't have a sense that B and C are rather close. I think they feel there's probably a shortcut between B and C, but they just don't have the sense of direction to just walk in the general direction from B toward C until things start looking familiar.

I also can't count the number of times I've argued with someone about the direction to walk because their phone's compass is off in a dense urban environment. They insist on walking the direction they think Google Maps is telling them to walk, only to have the whole map spin after walking half a block when the compass gets its bearings. I've seen the same person dumbfounded several times by this.

Exchange value as such has value only because of speculation, so what, nobody gets rich solely on their merit. Of course all that are cyrpto speculators are aware of the risks, people holding dollars aren't.

All these 'concerns' are true to a much greater degree for all other economy, yet when it comes to crypto people are so giddy to pile on with their moral outrage based on their superstitions, I find it morally outrageous.
I remember the feeling of traveling in Japan and China, with really nice infrastructure, then my wife and I flying home and landing in the shabby San Francisco Airport.

Most Americans don’t much travel abroad, don’t see how nice life can be in Europe, how beautiful and energetic the people are in Africa (but a lot of violence in some places), the calm energy and generally very good vibes in India, the vibrancy of Asia. I love my country but I also believe in having a realistic view of the world.
