I’m completely serious. There’s a ton of very old boring software that is still somehow little-known to some developers. It’s under the radar the way soil is under the radar - hiding in plain sight, ignored by the folk looking to the sky when the problem they actually have is how to grow some plants.

I’m also genuinely excited that there is growing momentum away from software churn, because we’re not going to solve the complexity crisis with another framework.
Elastic's on prem support amounts to little more than an onsite where they explain to you how the Java Garbage Collector works. EVERY detail about tuning your clusters derives from keeping the Java GC from ruining your day.

There's some index template optimizations but any semi-competent engineer or dba should be able to figure all that out (it's literally all in the documentation about what not to do).

You'll still be able to pay a consultant to come help you -- they don't have to be from Elastic.

In fact, it seems like Amazon just created an industry for third party consultants here.
1. Cost per kg for orbital payloads.
Soon every company can send payload to space. In 10 years from now we will have 50 launches every day. The sky will contain at least 100 times more satelites than today. every single square cm on earth has connectivity to the great web. And not a single part is invisible or unmonitored.

2. VR and AR In 10 years from now when hardware is capable of displaying 16k per eye in a casual lightweight not bigger than regular sunglasses devices.
Everyone will be wearing one making all mobilephones obsolete. Every object, animal or human you watch at will be argumented.
It will be the greatest new technological impact since the rise of mobile phones. Changing the live of human being so dramatically

Doesn't any modern browser or IDE have a VIM emulation plugin?

I mean, the input modes ARE the main reason to use Vim. I haven't used Vim as a main editor for almost 5 years now, but all the basic commands are still on the tips of my fingers, because in every editor or IDE I move to, Vim emulation is the first thing I install. It's the most productive developer tool that I've ever learned, and it's like a passport of a country that gives you ability to live in any country in the world, to the point where you don't ever return home.
You don't know anything about Augusta National or the Masters. It is most certainly a "challenging competition of the sport's top players," in fact it is likely the most coveted tournament by any pro golfer, and the Green Jacket is recognized worldwide. As far as commercialization, Augusta National could auction TV rights to the highest bidder, but it doesn't. It could sell VIP experiences, or skyboxes, or reserved seating, but it doesn't. It could charge $10 for a sandwich, but it doesn't. It could allow corporations to plaster their name all over the course, but it doesn't. It could sell official merchandise in retail stores or on the internet, but it doesn't. It could allow its TV partners to run the typical allotment of commercials per hour, but it doesn't. It could license its brands (either Augusta National, The Masters, Amen Corner, Unlike Any Other, etc) to golf courses around the world (like TPC) but it doesn't. It could leave amateur golf to the USGA or other organizations, but it doesn't... I could go on.
I wrote The newline Guide to Bash Scripting[1] (released today!) with users like you in mind: already familiar with programming, needs to use Bash, but don't want to invest hundreds of hours to understand how to list files, use redirects, handle arguments, and so on.

> Why would I ever join a union that didn't protect me from rampant undercutting via importing more workers?

I understand that you want to retaliate against immigrants and people from other countries.

But if that is your opinion then don't expect anyone who has an H1B visa to ever agree with you.

You should probably expect people who don't hate immigrants to fight against your efforts though, and to take actions to sabotage the union.

Don't expect to ever get those other people on your side, if your argument is that you just don't want foreign workers to be able to get jobs here.

For a single condition it doesn't matter much either way for readability. But once you have a number of conditions the if/else style becomes unwieldy.

I put all my early returns at the top as these are the preconditions for the rest of the code; I don't think that's hard to understand.
I've noticed when deleting reactions from my activity history, that after they appear to be all gone if I wait a few days more pops up. It is like impossible to remove them all.
I was never able to get VS Code's Remote SSH functionality to work. IIRC the server-side code indexing hung indefinitely.

I'm still curious what was special about my environment, since it seems to work for most people.
Relatedly, there's an Emacs-like editor written in Rust called Zee: https://github.com/mcobzarenco/zee

Zee makes some claims about speed, "The 100 FPS editor. Cursor movement and edits render under 10ms." I do not know how to evaluate whether those claims are true.

I've become used to using Micro (written in Go) for everything: https://micro-editor.github.io/

So I haven't really used Amp or Zee much, but I do have both installed on my system just in case I get bored of Micro ;-)
That was probably the right call on your part. Though if someone was insisting on a single code base to save money, I'd probably go with Xamarin because if the framework doesn't supply what you want, you can always drop down and code against the native toolkit.
I scrolled back through the commits. It looks like they've been removing traces of x-pack, Elastic branding, licensing checks, etc. since the beginning of March. So far it looks like one person is doing the bulk of all that work.

If there are new features, I haven't seen any. The real question is do they have a team for new feature work that they are putting together or is this just a fork that is doomed to fall behind as Elastic's huge team continues to develop their code base fixing bugs that will never get fixed on the Amazon fork, adding features that will never get fixed, eventually releasing the 8.0 release that has been in the works for two years, etc.

I don't see any evidence that they have that team so far. They're paying a few people to go through the moves of forking but I don't really see a grand vision beyond that so far.
What does "diluting wall street" mean? How is it different from "taking money from the business owners"? If I'm CEO at a company what difference does it make to me if I'm compensated by salary or shares/bonuses? If I'm an employee at a company what difference does it make to me if the CEO is compensated by salary or shares/bonus3s? If I'm a shareholder in a company what difference does it make to me if the CEO is compensated by salary or shares/bonuses?

The distinction between salary and bonus compensation is irrelevant outside of possibly some minor tax impacts.

I don't think that's an entirely fair comparison. You can design algorithms and prove things about them without hardware, and the algorithms and their properties will be valid in and of themselves. You don't get to "swim", but the algorithms will be there. One could argue that "computer science" is the study of the logical processes involved in computation.

While you're not wrong, I think what you're missing is an important qualifier. Sometimes they are creating perceived value that doesn't materialize. Meaning the value is at least part speculation, rather than realized value.

E.g., did Broadcast.com really create nearly $6B in value just because that's what it was speculatively valued at when purchased? I'd argue no, unless you think the "greater fool theory" is the correct way to measure value rather than intrinsic worth.
Blurring the line between attributes/react props and CSS classes seems abhorrent to me, but just my two cents
> Wait until you hear about cash.

I've seen the estimation that 40% of all bitcoin transactions are related to drugs. Hydra (russian dark web drug store) is still the biggest receiver of bitcoin transactions. I don't think that cash is anywhere close.
monero is proof of work? is there a proof of stake alternative to monero?
Does "Beijing" refer to a conurbation or larger division than a city? If so, greater New York surely has more as it would include Westchester and chunks of NJ as well.

If the BBC means the municipality itself, then their headline contains a Russell's Paradox (BR himself used a barber, not billionaire). In this case, regardless of the BBC's title, HN should insert "other" between "any" and "city".
You can have other shells that are not bash, true. But you are guaranteed to find a bash shell in any Linux distribution (well, except minimal distros like OpenWRT or Alpine Linux that for saving space use busybox). Let's say that in any server or desktop Linux installation you find bash.

You would probably find also python, but what version? Python3? These days you are probably guaranteed to find them, except that there are old Red Hat servers still in production where is not installed. And Python3, what version? 3.7? Older? What features are safe to use and what are not? Do you have to research to find out? Or you are stuck with using Python 3.2 just to be safe? Well, in the time you wasted thinking about that, you would have finished writing the script in bash.
I wouldn't describe the GP as "addressing claims". It's denunciatory rhetoric, which is the flamewar style we don't want here. Thoughtful critique is something quite different, and would be fine.
Hacking a computer system is wholly different from convincing someone to carry out an attack. You are prescribing trying to goad the mentally ill into violence instead of providing them medical treatment. On a smaller scale, try subjecting your friends or personal relations to loyalty/character tests and see where that ends up.

To make it more clear: trying to hack a computer system does not change that system. Trying to convince a person to carry out an attack (via social pressure, provision of materiel, planning, etc.) definitely changes that person.

I mean really, the more I think about this the more ridiculous it gets. Imagine coming up with an online persona to try to seduce your significant other with all your personal knowledge about them, as a form of penetration testing. We rightly view people who do this as being very controlling & insecure - not normal or justifiable behavior at all, and it materially changes your relationship with them regardless of how it turns out!

Even PHP has this now, albeit with a different keyword (match) due to existing switch semantics being pretty bad
I respect your view on this because it seems well researched, but I have a few qualms about it:

1. Using QALYs seems ok w/r to covid, but not in relation to lockdowns. You say 4 days of QALYs lost per person and I'd argue that being unable to see your friends & family or do most activity is alike to being sickly (which is what is used to calculate QALYs). Maybe its not a 1:1 correspondance but lockdowns for 8 months (I'm not sure USA, I'm more familiar with Canada) have (imo) exceeded 4 days of QALYs per person by a long margin.

2. I have major issue with this line of thinking:

>I can be convinced that the lockdowns were too extreme, but it'll take solid analysis and it probably won't be fully measurable until a few years from now when we see follow-on effects.

It's a strongly held belief of mine that, in order to restrict the freedom of people (ala blackouts during WW2), you have to have a solid argument that what your doing not only outweigh the disadvantages, but far outweigh them. Restricting people's freedom is not like an economic decision. I believe this is what the general society has come to accept too (e.g. civil law has preponderance of evidence vs penal code which has abundance of evidence).

I agree that we can grant an "emergency response" where we are unsure of the risks, but I disagree strongly that this emergency response can last this long without a very strong case/public discourse that this is significant enough to restrict freedom.
The tests are rarely that simple or regular.
Law agencies love to use entrapment. It gets you that promotion and bragging rights that you foiled that "terrorist plot"
You're not a VIM's hostage. You're just following a very natural way of navigation--it's very easy to learn and you don't easily forget it.

A very different story is using some other shortcuts like "F5" for single step and "F6" for continue etc.. I always forget about these after 2 weeks not using it.
The problem with this is it encourages increased fragmentation of systems just to address a single class of security bug. This could actually increase the number of bugs, and thus security bugs.

> For example, if you are working entirely in the kernel, all your code runs at the same level of privilege so you can’t use that as a filter.

Unless you use a microkernel.
That argument sounds familiar, but it's not reflected in the latest YC stats (32% of founders come from underrepresented groups). I feel good knowing that one of the fastest career paths in the history of the world has a 32% admission rate to practically anyone anywhere in the world (again, if you're feeling down about your chances as a US citizen, spend a minute talking to one of the Nigerians in YC and your perspective with change instantly).
As AMD proved us, a lot can happen in 3 years
> Fiducials

If you mean what I think you mean (tiny marks on everything that encode information to help computers figure out what they're looking at), I agree. In particular, I've long been waiting for someone in self-driving sphere to give up on trying to crack the problem with just imaging the world as it is. In a saner world, countries would already be standardizing machine-readable markers on roads and posts and traffic signs. I'm still hoping someone will wake up and make use of this "cheat code".
Perfect case for a megacorp destroying open source plus business models. I start to hate amazon with a passion. Craziest thing is they are not paying taxes in Europe though they dominate the market.
Amazon needs be broken up. It's too big and too mighty.
I recently started a project to demonstrate cross-language building between Rust and C. Started with CMake using the Corrosion module, I plan to add examples for more styles (CMake with ExternalProject at least, probably also Bazel, Meson, Makefiles, and others). Very WIP at the moment, I haven't even tested it on Windows and don't have a Mac. I don't have that much time to dedicate to this though.
Intel and Spirit AI’s Bleep aims to filter live audio – and toxicity
After been bitten by Google’s “graveware” one time to many I don’t invest heavily into their ecosystems anymore. And in my experience the projects are either abandoned or fizzling into obscurity once Google pulls the plug even if an open source community could technically fork it and take over. But in reality usually people rather go on the next shiny thing instead.
I've used both and cannot think of a reason why I would use Solr again, besides licensing.

Blockchain tech is a next generation internet still in its early days. I don't think it will go away. What do you think these networks will look like in 20 years?

It might be a negative for society now (I assume you are referring to the shady nature of using it as an alt currency), but it's precisely the tech you need to provide an alternative against Facebook or other walled gardens many people love to hate on here.

It solves multiple problems at the same time. Content creators can get paid by design, tech is open an transparent and scalable. It's unlike anything we've seen before.
Remember that this is a 2-way street. If the technical person wants to make judgement calls and technical decisions, the technical person shouldn’t be second-guessing marketing, design, and business decisions.

Or maybe they should.

If a person can’t defend their decisions and explain their actions, how can they be trusted?
Any specific devices? Or just generally the brands of oculus & microsoft?
How can you run 8 instructions at the same time if you only have 16 general purpose registers? You’d have to either be doing float ops or constantly spilling. So I’m integer code, how many of those instructions are just moving data between memory and registers (push/pop?).

I’d say ARM has a big advantage for instruction level parallelism with 32 registers.
If you think this is about Elastic caring about openness and freedom, ask yourself why they don't drop the CLA for a DCO and let themselves be beholden to the same terms

Not laws, law.

The only law that matters here is the American Arbitration Act. All other laws do not apply.

As long as the AAA applies, the contract is "legal".

The arbiter's whims will decide the result, not "the law". The AAA overrides all other laws, state and federal, with respect to the contract.

If you are using a language with yield you can make this simpler (and more flexible) by using a generator.
Well, never seen any reason to use -a or -o. To me they are less clear and you are prone to error. I find things like: [ "$a" = "$b" ] && [ "$c" = "$d" ] much more clear.
For anyone thinking to do this, it’s a terrible idea. Bitcoin has a public ledger that is around forever. It is much easier to trace than cash or offshore bank accounts.

After a short moment of outrage I saw the important and required notice not too deep in the project description:

> [...] it is strongly advised not to use TorBox if your well-being depends on your anonymity. In such a situation, it is advisable to use Tails [...]

My advice for anyone considering this kind of setup (tunneling blindly a set of clients through tor) would be to 1) make sure they understand the limitations of the approach, especially when clients behave "normally" (a.k.a. actively leaking identifying information) while sharing a circuit and 2) have a look at the considerations that projects like the tor browser or tails are focusing on in order to measure how fragile tor "anonymity" features are.

I feel it's useful to insist on it: DON'T RELY ON THIS KIND OF SETUP FOR CRITICAL OPS.

Besides these warnings, I have a hard time figuring a sensible use case for this (I may lack imagination though). One useful (but unrelated, from what I got from my quick glance on TFA) feature of tor that I enjoy and that is orthogonal to its "anonymity" features is the ease of exposing an onion service (reverse tunnel like) from inside a firewall'd/NAT'd network.
`finally` introduces additional blocks, so if you have 5 different resources that you acquire as your function goes along, you end up with 5 levels of curly braces. Not very elegant.

`defer`, on the other hand, is probably the only thing I wanted to take from Go to other languages I worked with. Beautifully explicit and wonderfully useful.
Yeah, they say it every week.
Please do not give me heavy water without asking. I might not have been compiled with CONFIG_D20 support. I can tell you, but with small children, you have to check.

It is well known at this point that the SSPL withdrew their request for recognition to the OSI because they do not meet the rules of the OSD.

Preparing OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards for Release
Totally agree with this. I think it will help develop the capital and talent to accelerate more new tech startups in Africa.
