The core of it is simply that the person who was head of Freenode staff at the time (an employee of Lee's, also) sold something to Lee that was not hers to sell. After promises from Lee to not interfere, the staff later found out this was not the case and left to create a new home for the projects hosted on Freenode. Whether those projects move is entirely up to them.
1. The reason why things have moved to a bit of a monoculture is because of a lack of portability in software.

2. People have PowerPC and ARMv7 devices that work perfectly well. People shouldn't have to buy a new device every N years.

3. I also described how Rust doesn't target many operating systems either; it only targets the three mainstream ones.

Also, from the comment you replied to:

> Alternative platforms are less used partly because they lack some popular software. We don't need to make it harder than it already is to use them.
Nope, NFTs are for claiming that you own the “original” digital work. It doesn’t prevent people from copying and sharing it.
I don’t even think the stats are accurate. What does order online and pick up in store count as? Online or brick and mortar?

Either way, I only see Amazon’s initial lead waning. They’re already not serious about curating their selection, and nothing really differentiated them from Walmart or Target or Home Depot. If anything, all the other retail companies have an advantage in that you can pick up in store and order online.
On the flip side it doesn't bring it to life for me because of the mistakes.

Several times you can see a hand is grey while the face is colorized to a peach type color. Wicker baskets are colored grey. All clothes are blue for some reason.

That kind of stuff just tells me it's making assumptions which are likely to be incorrect and I discount the colorization altogether.
I think their ad budget can take the hit of a few pennies.
My understanding is the cost is mostly the land and the building not so much. I think Sweden introduced a law limiting mortgages to ~100 years[1] because property prices were becoming unaffordable to many. So this may be more about "affordability" than longevity of buildings, but time will tell.

Depends on the digital product, but usually you're looking at something like a license key and DRM.

If someone is determined enough, they _will_ distribute thousands of copies of it though.
JavaScript is a good way to start. I think a lot of people enjoy doing it as a hobby, the way many enjoy cooking but would not be a chef. You don't have to actually do something useful with it.

Your concerns are absolutely valid. Julia tooling is lacking, and tooling quality can be more important than language quality. There is a reason why Java is so popular.

I feel that most of your points can be addressed if the compiler's "abstract interpreter" (static analysis) procedures were exposed and reliable/stable. Some packages (e.g. Mjolnir.jl [0]) attempt to re-implement it. Others (e.g. JET.jl [1]) try to hook into Julia's undocumented/private compiler internals (CoreCompiler). Rightfully so, only the most intrepid are willing to do this.

Sure, but weren’t the pyramids built by slave labor?

I feel like there’s enough massively disappointing outcomes to go around.

I mean, after all, everyone ends up dead at the end of the day and we can barely take care of the living.
There's something bad about going over-the-top halfway. Those sort of strict rules that everyone follows half assed are so common on software teams (and the rest of the business and society, but whatevs). It seems like they have all the downsides of both strictness and laxness. It would work better if you just let devs do their things. It would also work better if you went all the way insane. Like the first time you write some garbage docstring like that the CTO comes to your desk and tells you off. I'm not saying that would be the right move in this case, but at least it's something.
The same can be said with any cloud "productivity solutions" provider: Office 365, DropBox, Adobe Creative Cloud, etc. It's just that Google already has a bad reputation in this regard.
Fuck, I was wondering about that. No wonder Coldplay are so inexplicably popular...
Agreed, We literally took over Afghanistan in a month and installed a government but somehow we lost? We just don't really have a dog in the fight anymore. This isn't defeat.
what about photos that were taken in colors but then get edited to look a certain way (most of photos on the internet)?

and what about those space photos?
Yes and no.

What I find is that function boundaries have a bunch of hidden assumptions we don't think about.

Especially things like exceptions.

For all these utility functions are you going to check input variables, which means doing it over, over and over again. Catching exceptions everywhere etc?

A function can be used for a 'narrow use case' - but - when it's actually made available to other parts of the system, it needs to be kind of more generalized.

This is the problem.

Is it possible that 'nested functions' could provide a solution? As in, you only call the function once, in the context of some other function, so why not physically put it there?

I can have it's own stack, be tested separately if needed, but it remains exclusive to the context that it is in from a readability perspective - and you don't risk having it used for 'other things'.

You could even have an editor 'collapse' the function into a single line of code, to make the longer algorithm more readable.
I'm guessing this is a "what could possibly go wrong??"
Oddly enough, this comment seems to reinforce the findings we just read about.
Public transportation, requiring biodegradable packaging and transitioning our energy grid doesn't have to be nasty.
We didn't lose though.
This is a worrisome trend. Now one needs to manually check what the build system will fetch (and from where) before starting the build.

Many times most of the dependencies are available through the package manager of ones system.

A good way in my opinion is just to provide a clear list of the dependencies and make the build system complain if it's not there so one can install it (if didn't bother manually to check that the listed dependencies are present).

Of course there are very large and complex projects which may need more sophisticated solutions - Perhaps some sort code notarisation would serve well? Yet even there the dependency management should be clearly separated from the build system and it should prioritize using system provided packages when possible.

There are probably other considerations and implications too. Like preference of static linking over dynamic etc..
No, but its certainly not enough.
Having historical artifacts in museums that millions of people can visit is a valuable social good which embiggens curiosity, exacerbates mental well being, and strikes fear into the very heart of boredom.

I think CGamesPlay was being sarcastic. I interpret “would-be pests who search for an existing issue before filing” as describing good-faith bug-filers from the apparent perspective of repo maintainers who auto-close stale issues.
Also: what's Circuit Cellar, chopped liver?

Circuit Cellar is an excellent print magazine, easily on par with the best of those available in the 1980s and earlier.
I don’t follow; can’t you play conservatively until you have a great hand and bet accordingly? If the other players are loose, they’ll call with anything.

If they observe you are doing this and don’t play so loose against you, then I would take issue with the claim that they are not playing seriously.
On the stack exchange podcast back in the day, Joel Spolsky mentioned that there was a desktop messenger style app of some sort where people would post links to forum posts that needed some coordinated correcting of the record on Israeli affairs.
Thanks for the link. :)

My comment was intended as an incredibly subtle reference to the trivia that the BBC Micro game "Citadel" 'famously' had speech generated by "Speech!" in its intro screen (but appreciate you taking the time to share the link :) ) as shown here : https://youtu.be/Hu5vu9SgGZI?t=44

For anyone else wanting to try out the emulator link in the comment above, HN messed up the formatting, so the asterisk prefixes were missed on the first two commands:

*SAY How are you?
It was always credible. Maybe next year, the bluechekha will dare to tie it all back to UNC Chapel Hill.

I agree to some extent but since you referred to the past I’m kinda doubtful where you’re going with it.

Nehru was quite a long-term thinker and a statesman. Hell it’s a miracle he navigated the country through the hell hole the cold war was.

Sad thing is he inherited a country and the people who just couldn’t rise above a certain level and that was where the Brits left us. On top of that the Brits ensured they left us broken and finished and deliberately at that I believe. I maybe wrong but I just can’t bring myself to look at the colonisers in any positive light. Trust me I’ve tried.

Again since you mentioned Nehru (while I’m not accusing you but it’s a pet “But Nehru” phrase used by the ultra nationalist right wing India of today[1]) and the past Govts, and yes they had their own follies and drawbacks, I just want to set the record straight that the current Govt has set India even further back by decades and I don’t see it recovering. Especially so as I majority will again elect current party for religious bigotry and things like temple.

While the past Govts could’ve done a lot lot better the current Govt has been successful in delivering the final blow.

[1] To others who aren’t familiar with the country and its pilots and scene today it’s actually funny. If something BJP the ruling ultra right wing party does and it fails and harms the public ;usually the case) the national chorus becomes “but what about Nehru”. Even if the intention was to fail or harm the public the chorus remains the same. Also Nehru died in 1964.
You must not live in New England.
It is better to be a developer that ships! That would mean you have some generalization so you can start-to-finish and then you can specialize in one of the steps between.
Perhaps we can go back in history a little bit further.

The name Vietnam most probably based on Nanyue or Nam Viet a small little known kingdom created by Qin Dynasty deputy General, name Zhao Tuo or Tro Duo, a Han Chinese [1]. The indigenous or the native people of central and south Vietnam are not from China, they are mainly from Austronesian origin probably Taiwan so called Chams or Cham people [2]. They were the main inhabitants of the land for more than a thousand years (around 1500 years) and had a flourishing Champa kingdoms from 2nd to 16th century AD. The Chams mainly Muslim at the time, had been evicted just like the Moro in the Spain during the Spanish Inquisition or forced to convert. The eviction is completed after the Kinh people from the north displaced them during the Nam tien or "March to the South" and by doing that essentially tripled the original northern kingdom area size [3]. It's a kind of ethnic cleansing by today's standard.

The Kinh is originally ethnic Chinese intermarriage with local Tai-Kadai of the northern Vietnam. For about a thousand years they were essentially conquered and ruled by imperial China. As an analogy the Chams is like the Maya people of Vietnam, until they were eventually evicted rather than assimilated in around 16th AD by the Nguyen lords from the north to the other surrounding countries/areas towards the end of Nam tien movements.

The Chams has a proper civilization called Champa just like the Mayan civilization. The Chams' language is the pre-cursor to the modern Malay and Indonesian language. Their oldest writing on a stone tablet namely Dong Yeng Chau contains an old classical writing of Chams languages in the 4th century AD and was discovered recently in modern Quang Nam province, central Vietnam. It is amazingly still comprehensible if you know the modern language [4]. Interestingly the old name for Quang Nam is Simhapura or Lion City, and it is highly probable than the Cham people conquered Singapore (Singapura) and renamed it similar to their capital's name just like York in the UK becomes New York in the US.

Netflix is AMAZINGLY low quality, even on the higher-quality tiers, and working with compressed video was one of the factors that ultimately led to me cancelling my subscription - I'd rather pay (or yarr) for an actual copy rather than something that's almost more compression-artifacts than actual video.

Check Conformal Cyclic Cosmology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_cyclic_cosmology
I'm completely with you here. Until I read Clean Code, I could never really figure out why my personal projects were so unreadable a year later but the code I read at work was so much better even though it was 8 years old. Sure, I probably took things too far for a while and made my functions too small, or my classes too small, or was too nitpicky on code reviews. But I started to actually think about where I should break a function. I realized that a good name could eliminate almost all the comments I had been writing before, leaving only comments that were actually needed. And as I learned how to break down my code, I was forced to learn how to use my IDE to navigate around. All of a sudden new files weren't a big deal, and that opened up a whole new set of changes that I could start making.

I see a lot of people in here acting like all the advice in Clean Code is obviously true or obviously false, and they claim to know how to write a better book. But, like you, I will continue to recommend Clean Code to new developers on my team. It's the fastest way (that I've found so far, though I see other suggestions in the comments here) to get someone to transition from writing "homework code" (that never has to be revisited) to writing maintainable code. Obviously, there are bad parts of Clean Code, but if that new dev is on my team, I'll talk through why certain parts are less useful than others.
You use the roads, traffic lights, and so on just like everyone else - pay the damn tax!

What's ridiculous is that they haven't paid it so far while constantly posting fake news about the supposed cost superiority of electric vehicles.

Same tax for everyone, let's go!

(As incredible as it sounds, one of the justifications for not paying EV excise tax is that gasoline excise is spent on stuff other than road maintenance. Have those clowns posted any articles asking that gasoline excise be cancelled? Of course not - they'd surely like to have it increased, especially if that would translate into them paying lower EV excise taxes. Socialist parasites.)
Identifying a good change and actually implementing it in a massive organization are two wildly different things.
Vietnam GDP historical data: https://tradingeconomics.com/vietnam/gdp

From https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/vietnam/overview:

"Vietnam’s development over the past 30 years has been remarkable. Economic and political reforms under Đổi Mới, launched in 1986, have spurred rapid economic growth, transforming what was then one of the world’s poorest nations into a lower middle-income country. Between 2002 and 2018, GDP per capita increased by 2.7 times, reaching over US$2,700 in 2019, and more than 45 million people were lifted out of poverty"
pretty sure you can easily use shopify for that
Speaking of, how did you generate the specs for the AWS cli and everything else? I wouldn't have thought that info is nicely laid out and documented somewhere.
Restricting the greatest excesses of the rich and militaries (the US specifically) and some form of aggressive carbon sequestration, but I don't think any of that requires some kind of Year Zero political program.
The US had no real conception of what 'winning' was, no real connection to the actual politics.
I worked in a Scientific Computing team for a few years. Having some engineering background yourself and the curiosity to actually understand the code rather than "just port" it to C++ or Fortran will be more helpful. As others have mentioned, there is no one book or silver bullet but developing a good relation with the research team is a good starting point. Researchers love to talk and explain their stuff but often don't consider the scalability very well.

MPI is the usual backbone in parallelizing scientific applications so unless you have experience with it, getting some familiarity will be helpful. A good resource is Parallel Programming with MPI by Pacheco. MPI itself is not very hard but thinking parallel can be challenging unless you have some experience.

Just a word of caution though, well written MATLAB code is very hard to beat performance. You will need to carefully understand latency and bandwidth aspects of the cluster in order to get the most benefits out of parallelization.
I see a lot of negativity here, and I do agree about the daily ping which I see you’re removing, which I think is a good move.

As someone that has done cloud development at a giant corporation that offers public cloud, I think that this tool absolutely has an enterprise use case. In my particular experience at my particular (tens of billion dollars plus yearly revenue) previous employer, our SREs would have massively benefitted from having this. I’ve been woken up at 3am while on call for L3 support just to step out SREs through tools we wrote to help them do their jobs that we failed to adequately train them on and/or that they didn’t have the bandwidth to absorb due to the volume of services they were tasked to support.

From that point of view, supporting macOS first is the right move in my opinion because at enterprises developers are standardizing on macOS, and so are SREs.

This can solve a real pain point. Best of luck! And if it may happen to be helpful, let me know if you’d like to chat about this use case in more detail.
Even every photo you take with a smartphone these days is altered by a machine learned model, put through some filter, and tuned in some way, even if it's subtle.
It’s far far easier to be 90th percentile in 2 fields than 1st percentile in one, and you get relatively the same benefits. This applies much further down the percentiles as well.
Soviet Union collapsed, right?

China went free market. And with covid, I guess nature doesn't like senile murderers telling everyone what to do from far far away, under the threat of death by organ harvesting.

The USA still has the rule of law. Marx, a European with a higher body count than any colonialist by the way, has no law. Barbaric animals, who will send you to the glue factory for a case of whiskey.

The USA was there because of Pearl Harbor. That ended in a battle the size of the Pacific, the sinking of 30 Japanese aircraft carriers that we actually built for them, and atomic warfare. Stalin killed FDR, making him travel to Yalta and Tehran. Stole our bomb. Raped children. And tried to start WW3 every chance he got.

Kruschev killed Kennedy. He did give that order for assassination.

What horrible people. The New World bails everyone out. Gives everyone human rights and makes them rich beyond belief. Cures famines and diseases. The animals of the world mess it up every chance they get. Don't deal with animals. You only become one when you have them around.

Next time anyone gets the idea to kick things up again, I'm melting everyone's eyes. Maybe when everyone's blind, they can finally see killing each other is a bad idea. And forget the USA. I'm doing it.
This sounds suspiciously like whataboutism.

"That person may have done better, but what about the present person?"
> a maximum military effort, with everything short of atomic bombs

That book is extremely pro communist (hence the title). This is a pretty poor take on the war for several reasons, not least of which "maximum military effort" and didn't use most powerful weapons are somehow in the same sentence. They literally did not use their maximum military effort (not just on the atomic bomb front). It was a political war full of mishaps that were capitalized on by North Vietnam. I also thought PRC and Russia backed North Vietnam which seems relevant. The general point that military might isn't the sole determinant of a wars outcome is true and important -- and also pretty obvious.
For me, Amazon has live chat or instant support by phone. Bottom of their website, "Help" link, then "Need more help?", then "Contact Us".
