It's outrageous. If you want to buy a new Chevy, you need to go to a Chevy dealer.

Seriously though, who cares? It's just mindless time wasting entertainment. It's an art form who's time is rapidly passing.

Let's get back to doing things together, like live music, any kind of hobby, just anything other than watching moving pictures.
Sort of.

The integration needs to be done per-language, though helper packages like emacs-tree-sitter [1] exist. Afaik, C# mode currently uses it [2] though I'm not sure whether any other languages use it yet.

> From a quality and sustainability of human life, these were terrible times.

Unchecked, climate change will ALSO lead to terrible times for humans. Just because it's not immediately impactful, does not make it ignorable.

From that perspective, it's arguable that our options are "Some amount of near-term lowering of quality of life" or "A large amount of long-term, in the future, loss of quality of life." Continuing to burn the levels of fossil fuels we currently do is borrowing against a debt that may be literally impossible to repay.
Carbon capture is such an red herring it's not even funny. For years carbon dioxide intense industries have been talking about it in order to avoid clamp downs on their factories/power plants. When it comes down to it, it just isn't a fiscally viable technology.
How many people realistically are willing to write vimscript plugins, vs how many people realistically are willing to write Lua? I know personally, after wresting with vimscript for a couple of days I'd never touch it again, but Lua is nice.

There's a line in The Wire where an honest hard working security guard asks Marlo to not disrespect him by stealing in front of him. Marlo says, "you want it to be one way, but it's the other way," then Marlo kills him.

You can downvote me all you want. You can "hope" to do whatever in your crusade. You can tell me all about what "could" happen if the world weren't the way is. But it's not that way. It's the other way.
Yeah, it's never about politicians' "ignorance" or lack of knowledge. That's irrelevant. It's about their assertion and what alignments it creates with their base. Constantly correcting these kind of assertions without addressing what they're doing just adds to the noise.
>Imagine you're wealthy and beautiful, and the first thing that comes to your mind, is that you need to share it with the world. I think it's quite telling.

Not as telling as it seems. We are social animals. It's only natural to want to share it with the world.

It would be more shallow to revel in having wealth and/or beauty alone.

What people want instead is deeper, is love and recognition from others. That's where hapiness comes from (not some "peace with oneself" etc, that's just a prerequisite), and that's what those people try to get by sharing their wealth and beauty.

Many of cause do it crudely, and will be unhappy nonetheless.
It seems my comment was misleading. I meant the admin trying to wrest/exert control, being jealous of "advertising" is pathetic.

Certainly the damage that idiot has done to all those communities is real and bad.
This has been proposed as a technical possibility for a long time -- and yes, it is a terrible possibility! And yes, you can find an example of it happening, like the Chinese TV example! -- but "may soon" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the title. They talked to a couple of business people who said, more or less, "making money is good". They reaffirm the technology is good. There's no real evidence they're in discussions with any actual studios or there are any actual advertisers planning to do this. There's no discussion of how the logistics would work in terms of streaming services. The only western example given in the article is Modern Family, which I'm pretty sure is referring to contemporaneous product placement (e.g. an episode was shot without product placement, but the intent was always to key it in in editing)

I don't think this is impossible and if it happened I would be frustrated and angry. But let's hypothetically say that I'm right, and this is not going to happen. That would make this article almost definitionally clickbait: a remote possibility is brought up with an infuriating headline designed to share, and the comments section is filled with people who clicked and are riled up emotionally. I think both journalists and people sharing things should be as conscious as possible about this and not participate in the click-attention game.

(I recognize a certain irony in commenting to say that no one should react to this, when I'm reacting to the reactions.)
I spent 10 hours learning enough vimscript to make a command to check if a line is commented, comment it if not, or uncomment if it is, be able to handle multiple filetype and comment chars, and be able to handle proper indentation and multi-line selection.

I have to imagine it would be simpler in other languages. Vimscript is hard.
Then I'd also add that while SG-1 does improve in my opinion as it finds its own footing as most shows do, if you don't at least somewhat enjoy the first episode of SG-1 you can walk away with your head held high. I don't think you have to give it half-a-season like many shows (or 2 seasons like TNG...), they came out very strong at the beginning. It's not the best episode by any means, but it's a fair representative.

(Also as mentioned elsewhere in the thread the third episode is pretty weak.)

(Some versions may have a quite literally gratuitous nudity scene in the first episode. Apparently Showtime demanded one, but a bit bizarrely, left them alone after that and that's the last such thing in the series. I suppose in this era of Game of Thrones this will seem less bizarre than it may have at the time, but it is worth pointing out this is a one-off. So if that happens to be the only reason you like SG-1's first episode, you can stop. :) )

It reminds me of the Polish phrasing "masz racje", literally "you have right", as compared to the English "you are right".
Instead of having cable, I used to rent or buy movies. It’s no fun to rent now and the terms and duration suck and it’s hard to get a physical copy now so you’re tied to some service for life if you “buy”

> Just try it for yourself, put a N95 on you face and don't even press the metal nose thing, and then see if you can fit a surgical mask better than this unfit N95.

I have, with a proper fit tester. If you use a half mask respirator with cartridges, sure, the rubber seal is better by default. However, most N95 masks I've seen in public are are the cheap rigid masks leaving large gaps all around the circumference, whereas the surgical masks/bandana cling to the skin better.
Definitely a good reminder. I only see [0] (I'm only including the bottom bit, it doesn't appear in the rest of the page either) which doesn't appear to have it.

The fact that this rather innocuous, totally uncontroversial statement is being downvoted is a pretty sad testament to this ideology and it's adherents.
Just because it is not fiscally viable currently, does not mean that it cannot be in the future.
This is what it looks like when a handful of giant corporations run the world.
oh yah, my family totally dropped out of modern media, and man whenever we go to visit extended family and other stuff and they happen to be watching something on TV or a movie or whatever holy smokes it's pretty incredible how resensitized we have become to that violence. I can't stomach it. Probably took several years to happen quietly in the background, not even doing anything particular other than not consuming such media.
> Yes. A single service, with a single bill, that makes available every movie, TV show, or album ever produced. That's it. If you can provide this you can have my money.

For this, don’t expect to get this kind of service for 10 or 20 bucks a month; be prepared to shell out at least $100 or even more. Would you be willing to do that? How many people would be willing to do that?

I mean SVN for the code repository vs a more modern alternative eg git, mercurial, fossil… I don’t know of an SVN language??

Not hating on SVN, just think the “why aren’t they using a more modern/superior X” should be taken in that context.
>Clearly written by someone who's either never been to church, or goes to a boring one :-) If you've ever been to a fantastic (rock, jazz, whatever) concert, you know the amazing feeling of being caught up with others in the excitement of a shared musical experience. It's fantastic!

Yep, and besides that church hymns/music can be great fun, the part is written by someone with little knowledge of actual christian doctrine beyond cheap lore (and perhaps evangelical neo-christian imagery), because paradise is not about signing hymns and such (the same way hell is not some torture camp with tar pits and fires)...

There's more than one way to do it, and I definitely look forward to clients becoming more varied and configurable as Matrix (I hope) grows in popularity.
"everyone agreed on a solution: let the cat handle it. And so, for what seemed like an eternity, the cat went to work on the mouse, slowly torturing it limb-by-limb. This went on for at least a day, probably longer."

It's worth keeping in perspective what's already done to many films. Namely, air them on television in an edited form with lots of commercial breaks. This was certainly not the original intention of the directors--at least until modern times.
Exactly.

(Glad to see somebody gets the joke!)
>5. Not available for Linux, and I get the feeling that Linux would forever be an afterthought since you released for Mac first (presumably, this was driven by financial reasons).

Executing options is completely voluntary and laws are public. Incurring this tax liability is voluntary so again, there is no problem.
It's still a matter of distribution.

You won't have to deal with the company that owned the wire or the satellite service, but you'll have to deal with one of the few companies that are purchasing IPs left and right (Amazon, Netflix, Apple, Disney).

In the end it's just different people controlling the distribution.

The difference was that the content owners still had the choice to have their content available in other media formats, now it's the distributors that own the content and will (probably) limit it to their distribution channels.
Go ahead, push more people into piracy and then cry how those evil people pirate stuff cuz they hate big media...

> I don't like how the nvim community seems to be throwing themselves wholeheartedly into lua and lua-only plugins (vimscript plugins are better because they work with both vim and neovim)

How many decades do we continue to use, support and maintain a terrible DSL like vimscript? I personally don't want to be using vimscript in 2030.

It's time to move on. Lua is a solid choice
Worth mentioning that the studios have been screwing theaters more an more for a long time. Theaters used to be run on ticket sales, now your popcorn costs $18 because Disney is taking 60% of all ticket sales. It really seems like at some point in the future the only way you're seeing a new Marvel movie is by going to a Disney theater.
For many people in the states it is difficult or impossible to get internet without cable bundled in.

And your argument assumes that the shows you want are clustered into one of the providers. But what if you like one show from Netflix, one from Hulu, one from HBOMax, etc. You still have to pay for all the shows you don't care about from each of those providers. The different streaming services is roughly equivalent to the different channel bundles that cable companies offered before.

Sure, the streaming situation isn't any worse than cable was, but it could still be a lot better. Imagine if streaming services had to compete on the quality of the service itself instead of the content available on the network. If you are ok with ads if you get a lower price, use one service. If you are willing to pay more for 4K content for everything, use a different service, etc.
In the 23 years DMCA has been active, not one single party has been hit with perjury for a false/"unauthorized" DMCA claim. Not one.
I think you're missing my point.

With Slack, an organization can put a link on their website, and users can click it and be taken more-or-less straight to that organization's chat.

With irc, yes you can post a link to Kiwi, but then, to actually get connected to that organization's chat, you need to navigate a somewhat confusing configuration dialog that includes, among other things, two different server selection controls, one of which is a dropdown list of maybe 200 different options, and a number of buttons with jargon names, none of which is, to an uninitiated IRC user, obviously the one to take you to the chat, and some of which are prone to doing flat-out nothing when you click on them. The one they do want, which they probably won't click because the UI is laid out to make it look like it's only for advanced users, tends to give useless error messages if you get some configuration wrong, anyway. Which someone new to IRC is likely to do, because the form is confusing and provides no guidance or validation.

So, not only is it quite a few more steps than "go to webpage, click button, now you're chatting", but several of those additional ones are liable to cause people to give up.

A now-deleted comment in this thread said that they like irc because it keeps less technical people away, which they felt improved the quality of discussions. Regardless of one's opinion of that sentiment, I think that the effect in question is undeniably real, and it perhaps creates a situation where avid IRC users have a tendency to lose track of what counts as acceptable user experience for the rest of the world.
Although I'm a bit scared of the advertisement industry, I'm hopeful this can turn out to be good. Most product placement are very subtle and non-intrusive, so they don't bother me too much. It may eventually lower the price of streaming services because it is a new revenue stream and may possibly enable a service were costumers don't have to pay for, like old non-cable TV but without intervals.

Also, this creates incentives for preservation and re-launch of classic films.

Ideally this could trigger a flow where producers create content; post-producers gather resources from advertisers pay the producers, digitally place products and distribute to consumers. If every step is healthy, it can even get to the viewers without the need to pay for it.

This could be a boom for entertainment in poorer countries where a good deal of the population can't pay for streaming. Some people simply wouldn't mind watching a five year old blockbuster with product placements if they don't have to pay for it.

Of course, it is possible that I'm being optimistic here... we'll have to see how this turns out.
Yep, there's no real magic here. There's some understanding forced by a (successful) transition to microservices ,but a transition to microservices is not a requirement for said gained insight.

And if all parts of your system scale identically, it may be better to scale it by replicating monoliths.

Another POSSIBLE win is if you start having multiple systems, sharing the same component (say, authentication and/or authorization), at which point there's something to be said for breaking at least that bit out of every monolith and putting them in a single place.
What's the most appropriate word for this? There could be many, but I am a bit tired of justifications. For me it's greediness, distillated.
1. It's Brad Stone, probably the person who has the most connections to people inside Amazon than anyone else, not just a random blogger.

2. You would blindly trust the words of someone who has to justify spending billions of dollars to shareholders?
Or even more egregious the channel logos and promos that routinely appear over content. It had been a long time since I had watched linear TV and saw one of these again. I forgot how annoying they are.
How disappointing. I halfway expected to see a mustache twirling picture.
> Yet the US is still the premier nation that everyone tries to immigrate to, because as a nation it actually works.

Not really - the US looks really attractive from the outside - Hollywood propaganda probably does the heavy lifting. The reality is disappointing. Before I immigrated, I told an American expat friend my plans and he asked me a bewildered "Why?!" and that surprised me a little because "The greatest country on earth" and all that. After my first month in the US, I was legitimately depressed, and I finally understood why he had asked. The reality of living in the US is not close to being as good as it appears from the outside (or as a visitor). Fortunately, I got better at coping but I'm still very much aware of how abnormal and batshit crazy some things are in the US that most Americans are inured to.

The (gross) salary and tech scene are good, but almost everything else is worse compared to other developed nations.
I probably would have been better off moving to Canada, Germany or the Netherlands (I might do that yet - the 2020 elections were pivotal in my decision to stay put for now)
That’s incredible, thanks for sharing! I am confident that a person can do what the chimp was doing in the 210ms exposure and recall exercise. I’m about 70% confident I could do that task right now, and sure I would get better with practice.

Someone wanna slap that game together and share the link? It would be fun to self test what the chimp was doing. Still though, really amazing to see how similar we are to them.
Not to split hairs but it's the same retail price as an Xbox _series_ S, which is a generation newer. Due to supply issues you are mostly correct, in practical terms.

Half-Life: Alyx was definitely nowhere near as good as previous Half-Life games. Graphics and VR don’t determine a good game.

Announcing your bare opinion at someone, then dismissing their post as an opinion, is a weird way to try to convince the HN community that these unethical actions were ethical.

It's also a weird way to try to get a seat at the table in one of the communities that was deciding between comms platforms.
Re: Factor – a FREE software development conference for charity
Re:factor is a digital conference experience to raise money for charity, organized by Axxes (my employer), Euricom & Painting With Light.

It's a conference with a focus on software development in the broadest sense of the term. We do not have a focus on a particular technology stack. We envision it to be a fantastic production, full of valuable content with a solid dose of entertainment to glue it all together. We’ll have talks that range from company culture and what goes on behind the scenes at an event like Re:factor, all the way to hardcore technical topics such as quantum computing, machine learning and Gitpod. To top it all off, we will end the day with a sparkling closing show.

National and international speakers will take the stage and share their expertise with viewers all over the world. The conference stream will start on Wednesday the 2nd of June at 13:00 CET (UTC +2). The full schedule can be found here: [Schedule](https://www.re-factor.be/schedule/)

Re:factor tickets are free and accessible for anyone who’s interested. The event's costs are covered by the 3 organizing companies, which means that every donation will make its way to our charity, Bednet, for the full 100%. We are not affiliated with Bednet, other than trying to support them.

I'm in the organization of this event, so feel free to ask me any questions.
