As an Eastern European, when do we get an apology and reparations from: Mongolia, turkey, Russia? In fact Germany as well for the 2nd world war?

How are rules around these apologies and reparations decided? Seems it’s super popular right now but there’s basically an endless history of one human group occupying and killing another. I’d much prefer forgiving and moving on, but that seems to be off the table.

So can Eastern Europe get some cash and apology?
> Windows 10 is the best Windows ever for the vast majority of people who use Windows

Meanwhile I'm setting here just now, wasting hours hand-holding Windows10 because it's unable to install one of its own big feature updates, without any idea what was going wrong or where to start fixing the problem (because everything is so "user friendly").
As most new cars are leased, at least Europe for premium brands, anyway, I think that won't be an issue. BMW will sell your on, not you.

There's a lot of work toward this in library space, though it takes some adaptation to new media formats. Paul Otlet worked in a paper-only medium in the early 20th century but also has some excellent thinking. His books are now seeing translation from French. The Internet Archive and Library of Congress are also doing a lot of relevant work, see the WARC format as an example.

What's particularly relevant now are ephemeral and/or continuously updated online content --- and not just the WWW (http/https), but other protocols (ftp, gemini, ipfs, torrents, ...), as well as apps.

A working truism I developed was that "identity is search that produces a single result". So if you can come up with something that uniquely identifies a work, then that can be a working identifier. I typically focus on what can be reasonably assessed of author, title, publication date, publisher (traditional, website/domain), and failing that, descriptive text. Remember that originally titles were simply the introductory lines of works (a practice that remains used in some cases, e.g., the names of church masses or prayers, e.g., "Kyrie Eleison").

No thanks. I'm cheap. I guess it would be good for people who can't drive due to medical conditions and such (once allowed to be fully driverless).
That's not really related to the topic of DB versioning though, I feel. What you said is true, however it only matters if the DB operations are backwards-incompatible (something which you can avoid by using the approaches from the article).

Hmm, the original comment was:

A web filled with DDOS attacks and scraping is a web that needs cloudflare and fastly. I’m not sure how to avoid this sorry state of things.

I2P doesn’t seem like an immediate solution -- maybe it can resist DDOS, but at the cost of losing fast, easily-accessible, easily-searchable public websites, no? Could Starbucks host their website on I2P, to pick a random example? Seems like a bunch more infrastructure would be needed first.
It can prove its intelligence by making testable predictions of the future better than us. As for whether it's "real" AGI or just acts like it, doesn't really matter. I think the Chinese room problem has been agreed on as not a problem, hasn't it?
On the other hand, the fact that you paid for the heated seats does not necessarily mean that the next owner won't need to pay for them - the manufacturer can tie that subscription and 'unlocked features' to the owner; I seem to recall reading an article here on HN some months ago about some resold car which got the "unlockable extras" disabled for the new owner.
I just see Reddit as a directory/RSS feed, it's great to quickly go through news articles and see what's happening. However once I get into the comments or user generated content, I quickly get annoyed and close it again.
In general, people who do most work tend to keep everyone around them hostage. People usually lack access to even basic stuff and nobody builds the organisation, usually.

The book The Unicorn Project shows how it is dysfunctional. Leaders tend to thrive doing nothing of value in such environments.
r/conservative and r/conspiracy are popular.
The difference is that you own the vehicle and everything in it. Whereas in taking a flight you pay for roughly the combined value of limited seating, plus service by the flight and ground crews, plus fuel expended by the plane.

Therein lies the rub.
I would focus on web technologies. Getting something on the screen with html and css is trivial, and JavaScript is very powerful.

Best of all, every computer has a built in JavaScript runtime (web browser). This makes it easy to share what you build with friends and family.

There's a point between being too small to use up a single beefy server and being big enough to go cloud scale, where colocating a few servers and maintaining them makes sense financially in most scenarios. For companies smaller than that renting a cheaper VPS probably makes more sense.
A 777 is not a mide sized airliner, wide body aircraft for long haul have very different calculations because their flight can easily be over 12 hours long.

The problem case for weight are the regional jets (E190 etc) and to a lesser degree the 737/A320 family. Those tend to be weight limited enough that you need to offload passengers or baggage if it's too warm outside.
You would still have to buy the car. The 7 euros is just for using the autopilot feature.
Indeed. BMW's argument to this is that all cars will have all equipment built in - it will all be unlockable by subscription. Want adaptive cruise control? $200 a year. Heated seats? $100 a year. Sport modes for the engine/transmission? $400 a year. etc etc etc.

It annoys me to no end because it means you are paying(in the cost of the car) to have all of this advanced tech in the car, but you can't use it without subscription. What if I get a modder to enable it anyway? Am I now a criminal? What about the environmental impact of lugging around hardware that you don't want or need, just in case you or the next owner wants it?
The court disagrees.

Remember bad faith is a very high bar. You need to show he intentionally raided the wrong house. Incompetence and laziness ARE a valid defence here.

Did he have something particular against this other house? Did he know the occupants? Did he profit somehow from raiding the wrong house?

Because if not, he's just a lazy, stupid person. Lazy and stupid is exactly what qualified immunity protects.

This actually works in the "victims" favour as well remember. If we decide the office is legally responsible, that means the state isn't. So the guy who now has 6 figure damages can only officer dumbass, net worth 4 figures or less. Being able to sue the state is a much better deal here.
Human consciousness does. But we have no idea which other things in our environment are conscious. We can't directly observe even other humans' consciousness.
I just work on the forum from time to time so I can't speak much on the language - others have made a lot of changes, the biggest I can think of being using curly braces to create tables. Arc is the first Lisp I've used, and it turns out I'm not a Lisp-1 person. I like proper namespaces and hygienic macros. If I could only change three things about Arc, it would be those and improving error messages.

As far as the forum is concerned - I moved it into a separate folder to create a distinction between "applications" and "library" code. That was controversial. Also related, there's the skeleton of an app manager in progress that will allow creating web app skeletons, and I'm trying to get a plugin manager to work through Arc's hook system.

The end goal (in my head, at least) is that one could install Arc and Arc library code (and possibly language extensions) separately from applications (like the forum, a blog, or whatever you've created for yourself) and from application specific plugins.

The forum page templates have been consolidated so now there's a single page layout with a common UI, which uses HTML lists rather than tables, making page rendering a lot faster. I suspect there's still a lot of work that could be done along those lines - there's just no rational reason why rendering HTML should be as slow as it seems to be sometimes.

And I added some of the user-side features people keep complaining about on HN such as a dark mode, archival links and adjustable font size.
I return to this book every year or so but it hasn't aged well as an utopian text. Balkanization at the world, nation, and local levels isn't the slam dunk he seems to think it is.

I mean I guess it's pretty dependent on the company and product, I just know if I see "on-call" or "support" in a job ad, I pass. Perhaps I'm just screening myself out of certain business areas.

My experience was support during business hours as part of my job as a software engineer. I used to hate hearing the phone ring, and it was rarely if ever a problem directly related to what I was developing. I felt like it was just a huge disruption to my work.
Ah yes, I generally agree with what you said (although I think it's fine to occasionally do destructive and weird things to your local DB and roll them back if you're working iteratively; you can either recreate from scratch if you want to make sure you didn't break anything and otherwise you might still have some pre-production stage where you would notice it if the migrations didn't work).
The difference between Eastern Europe and some parts of Africa is that there were no apologies or reparations of any kind until now.

Games were in some way 99% of my use of the Apple IIc we had, which was my first computer. Original Bard's Tale in glorious green screen. Good times.

However, I also spent a lot of time painstakingly copying BASIC games, line by line from magazines, then figuring out how to expand upon them for additional features. Gaming was just the gateway drug.

Acorn, Atari and Amiga were not DOS machines. There was a lot of variety of operating systems and computer hardware back in the 80s. It wasn’t until the mid 90s when the industry “standardised” (in a de facto sense of the term) on IBM-compatible machines. Before then most didn’t even run Intel CPUs let alone DOS.

Always felt like autonomous driving without smart roads isn't going to happen on a large scale, just computer vision isn't enough.

What would a smart road be? Either some infrastructure that is designed for this or a digital overlay attached to it that every car nearby continuously updates in real time. Or maybe both.

That would mean an open standard and shared access to such an overlay, plus technology for that would have to be mandatory for new cars regardless of whether they plan to be autonomous or not. Right now it's just a capitalist rat race that no one is winning.
The only reason I got the vaccine is because of the chance idiotic unscientific governments won't bother me with tests I need to pay for when travelling.

I'm not a "anti-vaxxer" "conspiracy theorist" "racist" "sexist" "nazi" but the risk is just too low for me to care. If you think covid can affect you, take the vaccine and don't bother me.
I self isolated weeks before the government told me so because we didn't know what the risk involved was. By the time the government approved a 2 weeks lockdown which turned into 1 year and a half, it was already evident the risks were minimal. This is all a political play and I shudder when I think about what's coming next. Shall we do a climate change lockdown next? Or shall we try some more covid variants first?

I also don't think vaccines are likely to be dangerous (minus the platelets / blood clots issue - hopefully no long term issues pop up in 10 years).

Also, the downside is that everyone is paying for these shots, they're not free and they come out of the taxes the government steals from me every month - and they accomplish very little. Same as the flu shots.

Oh, I didn't know this existed. Definitely going to try this. I'm currently using Puppeteer Sharp (https://github.com/hardkoded/puppeteer-sharp) and something like:

> await page.GotoAsync("https://playwright.dev/dotnet");

> await page.ScreenshotAsync(new PageScreenshotOptions() { Path = "screenshot.png" });

Is broken, if you have background images in CSS the screenshot happens after Page Load is completed but before all CSS images are loaded so you end up not getting backgrounds in the screenshot. The only solution is to try add a delay before taking the screen grab, and it there's any sort of latency then the delay could result in not getting a good screenshot...
Though to correct myself I just used Google Flights for the first time in over a year and they do in fact list intermediaries in a price comparison list.

For the specific flight I searched for, the 3rd parties were listed as having cheaper prices than the airline itself, but upon visiting the sites and going through the optionals etc those prices turned out to be misleading, and eventually it was cheaper to book directly through the airline.

I just want my own personal home space back. Powering down the laptop for the weekend and hiding it is not the same as leaving it locked up at the office. With WFH and my single bedroom apartment, I feel I've lost privacy, personal space that I had once earned.

And it's driving my depression insane knowing my work and personal are all in the same room. WFH works if you can separate yourself from your person quarters but when you can't it really bites.
Other places that tend to provide this sort of information are tax records and wills, both of which tend to be somewhat likely to survive. Even if you can only see tax laws it can tell you a lot about how the society fitted together.

This "1 server" is equivalent to at least two part-time admins to ensure smooth operations. No biggie if said server just hosts a static website, big deal if runs mission critical processes.

Reading A Pattern Language without reading The Timeless Way of Building makes no sense at all. We do it, I think, because many technologists stumble on A Pattern Language through its relationship to Gang of Four and other “pattern” approaches. The book I always return to, more and more as I get older, is The Timeless Way of Building.
I rest in the knowledge that it is at least a relatively harmless cult in the scale of things.
> At least, with VW system, you pay when you use it. Doesn't work in your area, you don't pay.

"AWS has billed us tens of thousands of dollars because we forgot to turn something off/confusing billing" hasn't taught anyone anything?

There's nothing honest about VW's approach. They won't have self-driving either, it will be at best the same as Tesla's. And yet, they want to charge you, and charge you significantly more than 10k upfront (because they expect to extract this payment every time, all the time, for the entire lifetime of the car).
I mean sure, it's not like I want to refuse all responsibility. And I'm all for paying the person who does the on-call in line with doing what I consider a tough duty BTW.

I guess my point is more that maybe that separation of roles actually also reflects the differences in personality and how different people work.

Definitely true for most high-paying companies (meaning experienced enough to not have employment contract full of beginner's holes like this).

Explicitly forbidding another full time employment, full rights on all intellectual property, non-competing agreements etc. Also explicitly expecting to work ie 40 hours.

I would take this with grain of salt the size of Jupiter, since such behavior would quickly show on any employment feedback source that any proper company hiring should check beforehand. Being blacklisted forever for well-paying companies will bite back very quickly too.

In most of the Europe, I believe this would be illegal simply due to amount of work expected - there are hard limits on that.

If true regardless, it might not be the smartest idea to brag online about committing multiple frauds, which casts another doubt about the whole story.

I’m fit and 33. I run, cycle and do adventure races. I got COVID and bronchopneumonia concurrently a month ago.

Ofc it hits everyone differently, but this wasn’t “just flu” for me.

There's zero consciousness in the German public for past atrocities Germany (or one of its legal predecessors) has been involved in other than the Holocaust (and even then almost exclusively the mass murder of Jews specifically).

The German government wanted to buy international goodwill with this gesture. As the article states, Germany doesn't acknowledge any legal liability (and thus, implicitly, not a moral one either) and the $1.1bn is essentially a take-it-or-leave-it offer as "development aid".

It's entirely understandable that the Namibian descendants of the victims find this insulting and think that accepting this would set a bad precedent by allowing Germans to forget about the genocide because "justice has been served". The sum is too little to be considered genuine reparations but just enough that the German taxpayer would consider it "a lot of money" to give away as "charity".

It's unlikely that the descendants of the survivors will ever see any genuine apology or attempt at undoing the damage (if only economical) but it's entirely understandable that they would find this offer insulting.
