That's not reasoning. That's an unfounded claim or assertion.

One aspect of TW that I feel would be missing from any modern reincarnation would be the time limit you usually had on a BBS. Only being able to play for a set time a day is basically unheard of now. But it made you want to play it all the more, and I couldn't wait until the next morning when my time allotment was refreshed :)

I kind of wish this was true nowadays. I don't have hours and hours to play anymore, and so tend to avoid multiplayer online since the playing field is heavily tilted to those who have lots of time to play. That was somewhat less of an issue in the BBS days (on my BBS, anyway).

(Plus, a BBS might also periodically delete the universe and start over (a big bang!) which would again level the playing field for a bit.

Edit: Just remembered, in addition to the time limit on the BBS, you also had a specified number of 'turns' in the game. So you really had to plan sometimes. (and bigger ships took more turns to move per sector...)
> that would only affect a small percentage of users (eg inability to side load apps on non-jailbroken iOS)

The iOS app censorship issue is only a fringe issue because we're in peacetime. Censorship that can be deployed society-wide (such as the CCP requiring Apple to censor VPN apps, or the banning of the protest coordination apps in HK) in a click is an existential threat to a free society.

Apple's already maintained the e2e encryption backdoor in iMessage for the FBI[1] just upon request (not even legal compulsion); imagine if on "national security" grounds (or some other emergency circumstance as dictated by the US) they disabled Signal and every other e2e messenger, routing all iPhone-mediated communications into surveillance channels.

The potential for abuse is too large.

This proves that he took part in training. Posing with a weapon on a shooting range, does not define him as a combatant.

Combat medics, for example, that are by Geneva convention are non-combatants are still trained to use rifles and carry at least a pistol, in most militaries, for personal protection during active service.
Probably, but I think that's also a little dismissive. Maybe they have received plenty of feedback but still think their ideas take precedence over that feedback. I don't think we should confuse outside-the-box thinking with thinking that hasn't received feedback.

>should just hire and train software devs themselves

There are lots of people who advocate this but it’s hard to bring into fruition. One large hurdle is the legacy costs, particularly because it’s so hard to fire underperforming government employees. Another issue is that government salaries tend to not be very competitive by software industry standards so you’ll only get the best candidates if they happen to be intrinsically motivated by the mission. Third, software is almost always an enabling function that is often competing for resources with core functions. For example, if you run a government hospital and you can hire one person, you’re much more likely to prefer a healthcare worker hire than a software developer. One last, and maybe unfair point, is that the security of government positions tends to breed complacency. This often creates a lack of incentive to improve systems which results in a lot of legacy systems hobbling along past their usefulness.

I don’t think subcontractors build bad systems on purpose, but rather they build systems to bad requirements. A lot of times you have non-software people acting as program managers who are completely fine with software being a black box. They don’t particularly care about software as much as their domain of expertise and are unlikely to spend much time creating good software requirements. What I do think occurs is that contractors will deliberately under bid on bad retirements knowing they will make their profits on change orders. IMO, much of the cost overruns can be fixed by having well-written requirement specs
> local blocks that define which variables they read, mutate and export would IMO be a very good solution to this problem:

this is basically a lambda you call instantly.

[&x, y, z] () {
x = y + z;
}();
Unfortunately over a decade of government run by a party that are pretty hostile towards trade unions will have that effect.

Was just talking about this with a post-doc in the lab I've joined. He was saying there's poor and then there's poor. Without downplaying the fact that post-docs are underpaid, there are many benefits. You get to work on something you're interested in; in many labs you have almost complete schedule freedom; you typically have good medical benefits, etc. So there's a lot of freedom. As in industry, a lot of the experience depends on whom you're working for, but moreso due to the recommendation requirements and power differential. If it's a bio-lab that expects butts in seats pipetting 9-6, that's outside of my experience.
TikTok just makes up the view counts. So everyone feels like they're growing an audience. Instagram could do the same. They probably will. It would probably both increase engagement and, would it be bad for mental health?

Anyway, I deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts 5 years ago.
> I've written quite a few containers that use interface{} like that...they don't really "lose all type safety", you write a typed container around it (usually a one line implementation) that does the type assertion in one spot, and that's it, you never deal with interface{} again. For all practical purposes, it's just as type safe.

At that point aren't you just writing out the generics by hand? Why would you not want a built in language feature for that which saves you the trouble while simultaneously ensuring the code is correct.
Well, at least it makes major vendors cooperate - for example a lot of modern Sony PlayStation hardware runs heavily modified FreeBSD, yet anything the project ever got back from Sony is IIRC some multiprocessing improvement patches.

Also the multitude of companies contributing together to the Linux kernel are often direct competitors. Yet due to the GPL all their contributions are available to everyone else - so even though you are technically helping your competition, they have to do the same thing for you.

With permissive license, you competition can take the code and run with it, never contributing anything back, kinda like how Sony did in the example above.
There is no need to accept anything. Can you imagine how much energy would be generated if we somehow replaced every roof with solar panels? I doubt there are enough batteries around to store it all.

>I think you're missing the audience of this training. This isn't about you. I think that's another issue white men have to get over.

Actually, I think it's about all of us. In the sense that as long as people ignore the issue (or insist upon being deliberately obtuse about it), we're not going to fix it.

I choose to do what I can.

As to whether or not that will make a difference that's larger than just my own personal interactions, I don't know. I'd like to hope so, but it seems pretty unlikely.

But that doesn't invalidate what I do or encourage.

I prefer to model the world as I'd like it to be and act accordingly.

>As a "nobody" :), you likely have no power to undo structural racism. Key executives of a company like Lockheed Martin, however, have some power in that regard.

As I said:

And I believe that folks should be (if they aren't
already) made aware that these issues are real and
negatively affect many people.

No, I can't change the ideas and attitudes of everyone around me. And no, I can't make institutional racism/sexism go away all by myself.

However, I can continue doing what I already do (treat others with respect regardless of their immutable traits) and encourage others to do the same.
I've heard / overheard from multiple women from multiple states that birthing has changed and the baby is put on mom as immediately as possible, to the point it seemed odd from my experience 20 years ago. Doctors in the states have read all this too and things have changed.
It gets worse from here.

Facebook whistleblowers stepped forward a few days ago and warned that “vaccine hesitancy” scores are being assigned to posts via AI and those with high scores don’t go viral.

It doesn’t matter if the information is true or false, if the content discourages one from taking a vaccine the AIs will censor it.
Nothing is changing is bullshit. They will now have economic incentive NOT to include content in the free docs, but rather in the MDN Plus. As end-users, I'm sure we will soon see outdated articles in the free version.
In their statement they deny accessing bank details:

> The bug led to random user data being exposed to the wrong user when accessing our user interfaces. It is important to note that the access to data has been entirely random and not showing any data containing card or bank details (obfuscated data was visible). This means that it has been impossible to access a specific user’s data.

Hi,
not to go into too much detail on a public forum. In part of a larger deal for real estate that I do have commercial use for, some other buildings will be included that I could either rent out or use for a charitable purpose. It's all or nothing for the deal. I actually contemplated renting them out and using the proceeds to donate to another institution. If this can instead be used to provide young PhD students with a place to live rent-free there is no taxation inbetween, which would be subtracted from what they might receive via another institution.
Honestly, I mostly want to do some good with this in a way that has limited downside, and hope for the general concentration of creative career-starters with some communal infrastructure to result in a great place to live for everybody involved.
This is the experience we had 8 and 10 years ago, and I live in the US. I'm sure some people have had bad experiences, but there are exceptions to every rule.

Fabien is one of my favorite writer ever. I love everything about his work!
I agree about the "professional IDEs" point. Are you aware that IntelliJ has language plug-ins that lets you mix HTML/JavaScript/CSS/Java/Python in the same project? I guess CLion can at least mix C/C++/HTML/JavaScript/CSS/Python. This is great when you work with research scientists who like to use different languages in the same project due to external dependencies. I can vouch for /certain/ polyglot projects, it works fine in IntelliJ. (That said, you might have a very unusual polyglot project.)

As for tooling, I might read/write/compile/debug code in the IDE, but do all the secondary tasks in a Linux/Bash/Cygwin terminal. Don't feel guilty/ashamed of this style! "Use the right tool for the job." I am forced to work in Windows, but Cygwin helps me "Get that Linux feeling - on Windows". I cringe when I watch people using Git from a GUI (for the most part) instead of using the command line, which is normally superior. However, I also cringe when I watch people hunt and peck (badly!) in vim to resolve a merge conflict. (Have you seen the latest merge tool in IntelliJ? For 90% of users, it is a superior user experience.) To be fair, I have also watched real pros resolve merge conflicts in vim/emacs equally fast.

One thing you will find "disappointing" is the CPU & memory footprint of any modern IDE requires 1990s supercomputer resources. It is normal to see (multiple) enterprise-large projects take 1-10GB of RAM and 8-16 cores (for a few mins) to get fired up. (I am not resource constrained on my dev box, so I am willing to pay this tax.) However, after init, you can navigate the code quickly, and get good real-time static analysis feedback ("code sensing").
In this case, though, the flight from Greece to Lithuania went directly over Belarus. If I were Roman Protasevich, I would definitely not want to fly in the airspace of the country that wanted to get me.

There is no path from Zurich to Vienna that flies over Czech airspace. Furthermore, during the Cold War an act of a Warsaw Pact country hijacking a Nato country's plane over Nato airspace would have very likely led to something at least as bad as the Cuban Missile Crisis, if not WWIII.
lol that made me chuckle
True. My implicit assumption was 50/50 or predominantly male, but I could be wrong of course.

> I should be clearer that I'm describing the Russian government, not actual Russians, my apologies.

No problem, I don't take this personally :) Sometimes I just can't help diving into political argument despite outcome in most cases is disappoining and HN is not inteded for such discussions in the first place.

As for vaccines, in most cases it is pretty clear why something happens and motives are obvious. Spreading lies about competitors vaccine is definitely a dirty play but at least understandable tactic. Using toursts as a trade war weapon puzzles me a bit but still can probably be useful to improve negitiation position or whatever. But antivaccination propaganda has just rung a bell - it doesn't pass qui bono test. Antivaccination groups in any country are a minority (AFAIK) and it is hard to use them to "divide and conquer". IMO this kind of campaign most likely has been initiated by some antivaccination activists.

They mentioned human error. I could feel bad for the human who error-ed, but I wonder what kind of human error could have this huge impact.

It could be something to do with cache configuration.
tl;dr I got myself banned from #emacs accidentally because of a bug in my code.

One time I was writing a little emacs lisp module to automatically reconnect me to #emacs on freenode, but it was buggy, but it was still in my .emacs at the time, so when i restarted emacs, it started running, and I didnt notice it.

fast forward a little bit, i notice the irc buffers open in my list of buffers, and lo and behold, my code was constantly disconnecting/reconnecting in #emacs and it was spamming the channel with those messages. They banned me (briefly) so it would stop.

It was just funny to see like a flood of connects/disconnects in the chat log, and people being like "whats going on" and "must be a bug in something".
You bring back memories for me - I worked for one of the first rural ISPs in Indiana in '95. Having to debug people's Winsock setups over the phone still makes me shudder a bit. Not to mention the Apple customers, where I didn't even have a Mac available to me and I learned by trial and error - pretending like there were dynamic outcomes for every customer "Yes, now read off for me what that screen says."

The fun one was introducing people to basic concepts, like "Ok, that thing is your mouse, see the two buttons? Let me explain how you're going to use them on this call.

That's not the entire story. Google still has web.dev, which blurs the line between "web platform" features and Google-specific or "experimental" features. Neither of the two actively promote MDN either (web.dev doesn't mention it even where it would make sense).

This doesn't seem as much of an intentional decision of the two corporations to promote MDN as an independent resource but more likely the result of developers working for these companies refusing to compete with MDN.

1) is the actual NAND flash faster, or are we talking about going from "awesome" to "abysmal" as soon as you run out of DRAM/SLC caches or what have you? Which, given this kind of bandwidth, is going to be sooner rather than later.
