Preparing for those situations isn't stupid, similarly using seatbelts and creating backups is usually a good idea. Sure, you can go without and you'll be fine...until you're not. And then you'll be glad for every little measure you took beforehand.

You don't need to write code on your phone? Me neither. But if some server suddenly starts acting weird while I'm on a roadtrip and everything I have is a smartphone, I sure as hell would not enjoy the typical SSH session using swype and autocorrect.
Where do usernames go when they die?
Eventually all good usernames/ email addresses/ domain names will be taken. Especially with usernames, many are simply are not used anymore. So how will websites like hn cope when no new user can find a satisfactory handle. Will sites like twitter/fb and even Gmail be abandoned by droves in the years to come?
Great funny project!

But I can't get a local copy to run. I am not a web developer. Could anybody help me?

I cloned it from Github. But it doesn't seem to load the height maps from disk. What makes sense because websites are not allowed to access files, right?
I miss my Droid keyboard. It was so much more convenient than the current screen keyboards, even with swipe. Swipe + auto-correct gets every 3rd word wrong for me.

CMake does that and is a truly demented implementation, mixing user-specified initial state (supplied the first time you run CMake and carried on to future argument-less invocations), derived state, and cached compiler locations and versions in a single CMakeCache.txt file. Edit CMakeLists.txt? Time to delete CMakeCache.txt! Upgrade your compiler? Time to delete CMakeCache.txt!

I haven't used Meson all that much, but I recall it's a bit better than CMake but I still ran into a similar issue at one point.
Glance at the single and double digit bets... and who was betting (and commenting) on them.

And so on. It was well known when it started. It got boring as people used it to pitch business plans and drugs by making poorly thought out "predictions" about them.
(for default values, make sure you consider safety too! for example a debug option that might show PII is likely to be most useful to most people using the program, but shouldn't default to on because if it were on in prod the consequences would be serious)
It's only for a handful of channels though.
According to the World Health Organization these are the cancer mortality statistics comparing US to Australia.

US

Number of deaths: 612,390

Crude rate: 185.0

ASR (World) per 100,000: 86.3

Cumulative risk (0-74): 0

Australia

Number of deaths: 48,236

Crude rate: 189.2

ASR (World) per 100,000: 83.3

Cumulative risk (0-74): 0

These numbers seem fairly close, while other countries have much larger differences. The Australia numbers for incidences are higher, perhaps indicating that they catch it earlier or their population suffers from a naturally higher incidence rate, but that does not equate to significantly lower mortality.

I think one could easily make similar arguments about, say, the Internet. But let’s leave it aside. Let me ask you something: even granting it’s true, what does anything here have to do with Perl, beyond guilt by association?

I don't mean to be harsh but that video is awful. You're moving the screencast around while I'm trying to watch what is happening on the screen. And for no reason other than to just move the screencast around.

I feel like there's not going to be a lot of overlap between people who want physical keyboards and people who like curved screens.
Unsealed. What a fascinating and more specific word I just learned today for what we call gravel roads.

That being said, you really have to watch that. There is a popular google maps cut-through near me that takes you down a road we call "bridge out" for, well, obvious reasons. At least once or twice a year the local tow truck operator has to figure out how to haul a car out of the creek down there.

There is another road that has been closed long enough that there is now a 30-40' oak tree in the middle of it, and yet google maps thinks it is an appropriate cut through between highways.

You really have to watch that in the country. The data is not great sometimes.
I see positive comments about the keyboard, but is it really a good UX to type on such a small keyboard? I mean, when you use your laptop, pretty much all of your fingers are involved in the process of typing, whereas if the same keyboard is part of a mobile phone, you only use your thumbs, which is the opposite of how qwerty keyboards supposed to be used. It feels like the idea of a full-blown keyboard on a mobile phone sounds cool, but when it comes to practice, must be a complete misuse of a technology. It's like if smartwatches were made with 8K display – sounds cool, but how practical it really is?
What's the difference between this and just adding an overlayfs mount to /etc/fstab?

Use named files, that can be version controlled and documented, but are under direct access from the actual program and can be reported as an error if (for example) they are not found.
Next Generation Minecraft? This Is How It Should Look Like
Computational power < network connectivity

If we lost a few decades of processor improvements, it would be about as parent noted.

If we lost worldwide connectivity or all undersea backbones between some terrestrial networks... it would be civilization-altering.
My guess for this is that some people have not had the good fortune of seeing software that followed this pattern and how nice it is.

I thought it was common knowlegse that if really wanted to do configuration right on a given project, you do all 4 (with some library support) and you write your code to gracefully handle the right piece of configuration from the appropriate "override level" (again usually with the support of a good library).

See also: Domain Driven Design[0] which (if you ignore the consultant-fodder and jargon that comes with it) is probably one of the best written guides of how you should abstract systems, just like the gang of four book is a good introduction to structures in program/algorithm implementation you're likely to see in real life.

I rose to decent popularity and was hooked initially. I never quiet understood wanting to be the listener or how that experience is sustainable. I guess I gained followers bc I spoke in convos that were relevant to my interests & I was speaking quite a bit. I've since lost a ton of interest in the app and hop in here and there. The convos don't seem to be developing. I neither want to speak or listen any longer.
Is Retool usable enough for non-technical people? "It's easy, just wire it up to your REST service" may be scary for non-technical people. Maybe the persona isn't well-defined enough. They're somewhat technical, but don't code.

Spending over a decade programming makes it extremely difficult to reason about the the precise level of "okay, I can do this" from a semi-technical perspective.

You can’t guarantee access to a limited resource so it isn’t a reality anywhere. At best they redefined the meaning of the word “right” which I am also strongly against.
>Newer buildings come with updated building codes and benefit from technological advances

Lol. The "updated code and technical advances" are part of what keeps the value of existing structures from losing value.

Between ever increasing setback rules and asinine code changes that preclude features people actually want (like electrical outlets that are easy to use) and waste ever increasing space (look at the code for stairways and doorway sizes over the years).

For everyone getting suckered into a modern spec home there's someone else buying something because you can't build whatever that something is anymore. This is even more true with commercial operations where you can buy a facility but you couldn't get a new facility through the permitting process.
I've further clarified my PoV here [0], but it won't hurt to reiterate. I'd be happy in fact.

> I think we might have different backgrounds and considerations as to what counts as 'oldschool'?

Most probably. All of the software you mentioned (maybe except Exim4) is actively used in our environments, quite a few of them are in very vanilla configs, and some of them are customized to the point of abuse. However, it's worth mentioning that all of the software you mentioned are in support roles in our scenario, they're the so-called side dish which we configure once and leave alone for a very long time.

> Maybe I shouldn't have extrapolated this to pre-2000...

I've started with a C64, please. :)

> All of these system-wide services, not user applications. And I think that's the main difference?

Yes, the tools I've talked about are userspace programs, and are not daemons 99.999% of the time. So you need to run it many times with small differences, and reconfiguring/regenerating file is a lot of work, but as I said, they all have configs and env variables are convenience overrides most of the time.

Will take a look, thanks. Wanted to learn docker in depth for a long time, but had no notable project to force me to use it. Maybe someday.

Why does Atlanta need tiny homes? We don’t have restrictive zoning policies and we can build out or up in most directions.

What I mean is that when an advice is expressed in absolute it tends to be a radical view on the problem.

Radicals tend to dismiss things that don't agree with their world view and I am always wary of this. And you should to. I don't mean radicals can't be right. What I mean is you should be cautious about it.

How about birth? Birth sounds good. And from conception to birth it's covered under the mother's name?
I'm surprised people are surprised. He's mainly known for a paper called "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False", a deliberately misleading title that sparked a ton of pseudoscience. It didn't tell scientists anything they didn't already know, and it misinformed anybody who wasn't a scientist.

So we have a person who likes to be contrary, and gets famous doing it. It comes as no surprise that he would put contrariness over research, and do shoddy work in the process. Then he can claim that he's "outside the orthodoxy", a favorite tactic of cranks and quacks, and appealing to everybody who doesn't know science and enjoys imagining that the scientists are bad at their jobs.
I don't have any idea why you're bringing "Critical Race Theory" into this? I didn't think there was any analysis of race in the article, only gender?

Critical Race Theory is not some kind of boogeyman that encompasses everything you don't like.

> A female commenter here on the board gave some insight when she indicated: "She used the dolls to mimic her mother" - which is something I never would have thought of. Now that's thoughtful.

I don't know what you consider "reinforcing gender stereotypes" means, but to me that's fitting the bill pretty solidly! The mother (presumably) acts in the way that her society expects of a woman, and in playing with the doll to mimic her mother the child is more deeply internalizing those ways.

> By CRT logic, the first thing we should say about 'The Mona Lisa' is that Da Vinci was 'Reinforcing Gender Stereotypes of Feminine Beauty'

OK, yeah, I'll bite: Da Vinci was comissioned by Francesco del Giocondo to paint a portrait of his wife Lisa del Giocondo. The thing about painting for patrons is you're supposed to make them look good. If you try to make Lisa dG look good, you're going to be relying on "gender stereotypes of feminine beauty".

> The Statue of David? Michelangelo was 'Reinforcing Gender Stereotypes of Youthful Masculinity'

David (in the "vs Goliath" version) is a young fit man armed with a sling. Furthermore, that David was often a symbol of Florence, and if Michelangelo (a Florentine) hadn't made him so youthful, fit, and masculine there might have been trouble.

If you look at other depictions of David from that time, they're all stereotypically youthful, fit, and masculine (and sometimes horned up as in Donatello's second take). Michelangelo (and contemporaries) had similar ideas of what a young, fit, masculine person should look like and that's what they sculpted.

I see your point. It sounds as if you agree that in Uber's case, flexible pricing is appropriate. Or do you think that Uber should price its cabs flexibly but pay a flat rate to its drivers?
My wife is exactly the same, while I'm fine with either (prefer meetings in-office but have been working 100% from home over a year now; though I personally haven't "made friends" from my work/office since I hit management, so an office setting doesn't provide that incentive to me).
I'm sorry for this. I know it can be hard to "get going" accumulating points. If there is a silver lining, it is that there don't seem to be many things you can't do once you reach about 1200 points.

Here are my recommendations.

First, the community can be very sensitive to the perceived tone of your notes. For example, I would imagine that even

"Most of them were probably made by the Rust people"

could rub some the wrong way and they might down vote you just on the tone, even if they agreed with the larger points in your message.

Second, I think there is no/little risk in creating initial posts. While they can be flagged, I am not sure you can accumulate down votes. If you find interesting things (to tech/startup types of people) then initial posts might be a "less risky" way to get started. Take that with a grain of salt though as I have only ever commented.

Third, there are a number of "lighting rod" issues for this community that one side will tend to upvote and the other down vote based on principle. I would tend to shy away from heated topics with clearly defined "sides" particularly anything political.

Fourth, there are some issues that "most" of the community supports and questioning those topics/beliefs can (as you probably have seen) result in large point dings. Again, it really does not matter if you are making a sound argument against one of these communal treasures.

Some people who love and support an issue are likely to downvote to show that they don't "agree" with you perspective, not that what you said was offensive and if you are challenging an issue that the majority of the community supports, you are likely to see big point loss.

Good luck, read the Guidelines posted below and welcome to the community.
Humans won't do everything you demand and, generally, they will do it mostly wrong or badly as well. Ah well, we won't know in our lifetime anyway. But for the sake of argument: a lot of things, at least at the moment, you want done, you cannot get done via the gig economy. A lot of stuff Bostrom etc talk about you cannot get done with gig workers. Maybe in the future you can ofcourse.
Hacker Exploits Bugs in Original ‘Doom’ Code to Run ‘Snake’ Inside the Game
I've made a presentation on this very subject to a hackers conference in 2013. It's very clear to me, it's because of Perl6. In 2013, Perl was 26 years and Perl6 was 13 years already, half as old as Perl itself but nothing close to production ready.

The launch in fanfare of Perl6 in 2000 had a general chilling effect on Perl: many people considered from that point that there was no point learning and using Perl 5, because Perl6 was "just around the corner" and was "the future of perl".

It's just last year that people finally came to their mind : Perl6 became Raku and is a different language, period. And Perl 5 is supposed to get out of its 20-years of maintenance cycle by becoming perl 7 and changing some defaults it should have done back in 2007 or so...

Well. That's life.
I'm going to be that person and say it doesn't matter. Either you're a consumer who really only cares about a finished product's performance or you're a chip designer who has the time and money to research past the nm number.

All us armchair semiconductor fabrication experts can have a good old time arguing ove who's 2nm is better. The real world will continuing doing it's thing.

*I know this is hacker news and some of you might be real experts. I know nothing. Please don't feel disrespected.

Anyone seeing significant performance impact with CSP? We simply enabled an extremely lax policy on a Jira service desk instance and are seeing a 15-30% performance cost loading the summary page. Also, has anyone else come up with a consistent way (short of watching browser timeline) to determine the performance cost?
They should have done what the YAML designers did when they suddenly realized to their great surprise that the language they themselves designed and named was NOT actually a markup language:

Keep the exact same name and a perfectly straight face, then recursively retronymonically redefine it to mean something completely different: the opposite of what it initially meant!

"Yet Another Markup Language" => "YAML Ain't Markup Language"

So "PERL 5" is to "Practical Extraction and Reporting Language 6", as "PERL 6" is a "PERL E___ R___ L___ 6".

(Pattern matching and filling in the blanks is left as an exercise for GTP-3.)

The argument is that it's more profitable to sell a pill you have to take every day for an extended period of time (or forever) than it is to sell a pill you only have to take once (or a small number of times). Recurring revenue is generally more desirable than a lump sum. There's still a strong incentive to make the disease manageable. It has nothing to do with saving money on research or keeping their jobs.

> a few people getting together and disliking something and not seeing the dislike grow at all would turn that into an embarrassment

Not really. YouTube already fudges the like and dislike counters, based on their bot-detection algorithms, the eventually-consistent database that these counters are stored on, and stuff that’s already in place to defuse vote trains.
> It's a sad fact of life that if you want a good phone that will age okay, and be supported for at least a few years with OS/security updates, and will have decent customer support if you run into issues, you're just gonna have to get a phone from one of the big guys.

This is not true. Librem 5 will have a lifetime support, beating both Google and Apple, because Purism upstreams all their drivers to get the main Linux support [0].

Any app from Debian repositories should work (except possibly problems with the small screen). Many apps are already available [1].
