I've got a new nodejs project that a colleague wrote about 6 months ago. It's already completely broken and needed a lot of effort to get working again.

On the other hand his php project from 2011 still works, just as my perl stuff from 2006 still just works.
The question is why not? If creating a superset languages based on D will encourage more people to use D either directly or indirectly me think it's really worth it.

Please check Terra language (now in beta), on how they created Lua like language to enable easier optimization in C++ and other languages [1]. They reported Terra-based autotuner for BLAS routines performs within 20% of ATLAS, and DSL for stencil computations that runs 2.3x faster than hand-written C [2].

According to D language origins paper, D is meant to be general-purpose programming language with support for procedural, object-oriented, generic, generative, and functional programming [3]. It'll be a shame not to fully utilize the powerful nature of D. In addition, D also supports D language compiler DMD as a library [4], and there's also libDSL, a library for developing embedded domain specific languages in D via template metaprogramming [5].

If you have a few fonts, referenced by an external css file, on a page that has a bunch of images, the delay is a couple of seconds on a mobile connection. It's not just the download time for 20kb, it's the servers response time (you _are_ hosting it yourself right?) × number of resources requested.

I'd rather just view the page with the default fonts rather than wait 5-6 secondsfor the minimally different sans serif font that you've chosen for one paragraph that blocks the entire page render.

Ah, that's reasonable. One issue with with the census questions is that they're mainly focused on defining a "household" and ignore situations like being in a relationship but living separately. But married + cohabitating should give a good first-order approximation of the non-single population overall.

Unfortunately, non-scholarly articles about dating pretty much always use the legal definition of "single", probably because deciding who is single in the dating sense is so tricky.

There is no good reason to put any form of telemetry in a non commercial open source project, ever. It is just user hostile behavior. Yes, even if it is opt out. Good to see it got pushed back. Let's see for how long.

Yes, people will say it "helps make the product better" but open source software, especially the GPL flavor, is for serving the user first and foremost, not making the developers job easier and I strongly doubt it really helps with the later.

People these days are just horribly addicted to data gathering and believe quantitative methods for analyzing problems are the only right way. Probably for need to justify their job. Every good open source project is getting more than enough good qualitative feedback from the community that you should focus on. Improve the tool for the people that actually use it and are part of the community and not for some potential new users you hope to generate.

Rather than the word politics a better word would be networks.

Where you go in life depends on how many connections you create with people. And connecting with people requires energy. Introverts loose energy in the act of connecting while Extroverts gain energy. Therefore Extroverts will have an edge becoming a hub in a network or a connector of many networks.

People who can lead have to be hubs or connectors. The Introvert that leads usually have a bunch of hubs and connectors that bow and bend to them, which happens only if they bring something very unique to the table.
Tantacrul, the project lead for both MuseScore and Audacity, is a professional UI/UX designer and has once conducted a significant first-time user testing for Dorico [1], so I'm pretty sure that he already knows what you are saying. Given his latest video about Audacity [2] though, I guess that Audacity has a very diverse user base and it might be hard to do the user testing while accounting for that diversity (the article you've linked specifically mention this issue).

For sure, unless they use a very computationally expensive hash.

Beyond that I'm not sure why they'd get from that, given that non-static IP addresses are very common on the internet and NATed networks even more so.
Thank you for the clarification.

I agree.
I'm surprised that this doesn't get brought up more often.

Somehow I have to upgrade all my hardware every few years, which of course increases the demand for chips, even though the software I use doesn't have much extra functionality over the software I used ten years ago. Nicer UI, yes, and I would argue that modern software is often more reliable than software ten years ago, but these things shouldn't require faster hardware.

This might be against the ethos here on HN, but I'm still of the opinion that 95% of the webpages would be much better if they were written in plain HTML.

I ignore it and just do my job to the best of my ability. It works pretty well except for managers who try push silly things like increasing exposure or demonstrating leadership.
Essay: Semiotic Constructs in a Design System
My theory is that extroverts simply rely more on biases to crudely categorise people. Treating people like individuals and learning about each of them is strenuous, which would explain why introverts gets tired from socializing while extroverted people don't.
That's because you imagine fairness can be adjusted on its own. I wouldn't say I want the game to be less fair as a primary value. But imagine I say I want the game to be more X, Y, or Z, and you respond that those changes would make it less fair. It's not hard to imagine accepting that tradeoff for some things that make the game better.

Before the Rockies existed, adding a team at high altitude where the ball carries farther could have been seen as less fair, because batters for that team would have an easier time breaking home run records. But so what? Camden Yards is one of the best stadiums in baseball. It's only 318 feet down the right field line. But so what?

The rule isn't a lie. It's just enforced by humans. Should speed limits not exist, just because you can often exceed the limit and not get a ticket? I sure don't want to live in a world where every street has automatic enforcement.

You don’t have a right to steal my malware collection and run it through your own software without getting malware. There simply is no right for other people to take my phone and “safely extract” the files — which your argument depends on.

I do, however, have a right to put malware on my phone, for my own amusement.

As a former user of an ARM-based Chromebook, I very much appreciate an elegant, power-sipping laptop design with long battery life and completely passive cooling. The Pinebook also looks to be surprisingly serviceable, although I wish it had swappable RAM, WLAN/Bluetooth daughterboards and so on.

My main worry that keeps me from considering this as my laptop is longevity. I am sure the build quality is fine, but for how long will the performance be adequate for desktop use? For watching videos? For watching videos in a web browser?

My two current main machines are a Phenom II X6-based desktop and a Thinkpad X220i, both machines are around 10 years old, and while the Phenom II would have been considered high-end at the time, the X220i has an i3 that would have been "fine, but not amazing" when it was new.

The desktop is still perfectly capable, I watch 4K videos, play games (not the newest-new AAA titles, but it is fine for most other games) and do everything else I need to do, it does not feel slow nor as if it is lagging behind. The laptop is no speed demon, but it handles 10-20 Firefox tabs well enough, and plays hardware-accelerated 1080p h264 video with no dropped frames.

While I do accept that the Pinebook Pro is positioned as a low-priced machine, will it still be able to provide adequate performance for general tasks, 5 years from now?
Telemetry can be useful but it's hardly the only way, and it doesn't have to be opt-out.

This is from 2011. Is this really the most recent comment you can find?

A video that's going viral claims that both Hamas and Fatah and Israel have elections coming up, and all 3 are far-right governments (and in Hamas' case, a totalitarian far-right party) that will benefit from a conflict. (In Israel's case the odds of an election are pretty high, it's not technically guaranteed. However Netanyahu has failed 5 times in 2 years to prevent elections, odds are he'll break his own record).

So we have 3 parties, all extreme-far-right facing election problems in the near future. A conflict now would greatly benefit all of them (for the next 4-5 months or so).

Think there's something to that? At least when it comes to timing it seems pretty relevant.

Unless the “west” doesn’t include Europe, this is incorrect. Europe has extensive train and metro systems.

Secondly, I’m not sure how driving combustion engine cars has better environmental outcomes than electrified trains. Even if the trains weren’t electrified, they’re still orders of magnitude more efficient than a car that generally has 1-2 people in it.

When your program OOMs, you have three options:

- You can reduce the program's memory usage, or increase the program's / system's alloted memory. But there's usually some hard limit to this - if you've got 100GB of data, you've got 100GB if data, and if you've got a non-distributed problem you'll eventually run out of RAM slots. Plus you usually just get induced demand when a customer shows up the next day with 200GB data.

- You can make the program handle the too-large-data case better. This requires deeper systemic changes usually across multiple components (the program, your monitoring and error reporting, upstream and downstream integrations). But this also tends to have knock-on improvements across the system. And a lot of times it's cheaper than the first option when you compare total rather than marginal cost.

Or to be more direct: Why fuss over 131x10 feet and not the fact your only recovery plan is one excavator and a handful of tugboats?
Swap Protocol Demystified
> which has various benefits.

But also the downside of being incompatible with the BitTorrent network and it's myriad of seeders and torrents.

I think quite a few P2P projects have thrown out compatibility for the sake of some functionality but also the entire baby. PeerTube did the same, disabled WebTorrent support by-default before any BitTorrent clients got WT support. The desire to "move fast" makes people forget what actually makes a system usable and how decades of inertia changes how changes can be made. Impatience.
The bundled Mattermost was a bit flaky IIRC but with a separate instance (in Docker) using Gitlab SSO was no problem.
Using SSO for Sentry was a bit more problematic as it's an unofficial plugin but IIRC it was due to Gitlab not sending the correct scope.
I really enjoyed that video, thanks for sharing.
Again, D is designed to make calling into C code easy within the same program you were working on. The idea that you can't have a language that is both expressive and fast is just Stockholm syndrome from C++ being unergonomic.

Check it out on the website, you can write an RPN calculator in D in less lines than a Haskell implementation last time I checked, all while checked to be pure by the compiler.

Not only would a scripting language be slower because the compiler would be a hack without access to LTO and not have a proper type system etc., It would he a complete waste of time.
>but there is no public reaction about the soviet union

There's literally non-stop public reaction against the Soviet Union, a country that stopped existing 30 years ago, especially in threads like this that are completely non-political. Case in point, you, congrats on being the first person who thinks watch connoisseurs are committing wronkthink by talking about watches.

You need a chrome/FF extension that adds to every comment an extra sentence like:

- "I disagree with Stalinist grain policies"

- "The Soviet Union murdered millions"

- "I think the Ukrainians are right to complain about the USSR"

- "They were too many gulags if you think about it"

- "But of the course, the Soviet Union was bad"

- "Stalin? No, I disavow him"

Then you don't have to derail a thread about watches to defend the Nazis and United States from the ghost of Stalin.
Great idea!!

This is literally the apocalypse. All of our key systems are failing.
"It does not tell you how easy, difficult or frustrating the user finds using an app. It does not tell you whether the user accomplished their goal or gave up in frustration."

You actually can, it just takes a more sophisticated analysis. For example by tracking mousemovemt you can quite easily tell wheter the user finds what he wants or gets more and more stressed (faster and more undirected mouse movement)

But I agree that you should only do so when explicitly testing your design with consenting (and paid) testers and not your regular users. They will indeed be happy, if they find a form where they can give you precise feedback.

(depending of course on the software - you will get better feedback from CAD software users, than from the typical online game)

> There is no good reason to put any form of telemetry in a non commercial open source project, ever.

That's simply not true, and there are absolutely reasons to put telemetry in projects, including non-commercial open-source projects e.g. tracing performance issues, tracing crashes and other bugs, collecting stats on feature usage (to know what to focus on or what to surface better) or workflows (to know what to improve support for, or what to better document if there are better ways to do things in the project).

Getting useful feedback directly from users is difficult, and doubly so when you have no activity traces to go with it. The average Audacity user is never going to capture ETW traces when they have issues, and odds are they'll complain on audio tools forums rather than your own.

I'm absolutely sensitive to the argument that telemetry is commonly misused and offline software adding telemetry is dodgy and icky, but pretending telemetry is necessarily useless and bad is just fals.

> Every good open source project is getting more than enough good qualitative feedback from the community that you should focus on.

1. they really dont

2. especially for a project aimed mainly at non-dev users (which is what Audacity is), it's very unlikely that the feedback you get is relevant to the majority of your userbase
Software does not need to move at the speed of light, much less something like audacity which has a huge user base and hopes of staying useful for decades.
Do you have any sources on this?
Knots and (nautical) miles aren't imperial. They're useful for navigation because a nautical mile is exactly the length of a meridian arcminute, and a knot is one nautical mile per hour. Makes these units easy to use on nautical charts.
