I'm sorry is this comment from 1998? I've been working in software for over a decade, and I haven't seen server work being done in Java in ages.

From my perspective, Go in the context of serverless programming seems to currently be the best choice for server-side programming.

In the next 20 years I expect Go will be supplanted by a language which is a lot like go (automatic memory management, simple, easy to learn & write and performant enough) but with the addition of algebraic data types, named parameters, and a slightly higher level of abstraction.
No. It was complacency.
How is it perceived? As a cessation of pain? Or like early users of morphine described, "There's a pain in the room somewhere but I'm not sure it's mine."
I decided to browse available properties and it’s ridiculous: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/307-S-Dean...
Ah I see. But it's only the case if you limit yourself to a subset of math. Subset of math is not provably consistent if you are trying to use just itself for the proof, but this subset is provably consistent if you extend your proving toolset with something else.

But the new extended subset has new, other troubles that make it impossible to prove its consistency by using just itself, so to prove its consistency you need to extend it again.

You can still have fully provable (i.e. bugless) subset of math, you just need other math to prove that it is so.

Yeah tools like linters (or strict compiler warning rules) can cause a lot of distraction. Sometimes the rules are dictated, with no possibility for appeal. Sometimes people don’t dare to to be that guy who suggests to dial down on quality. It can be counterproductive if an important bug is hidden in a tsunami of warnings. Best to turn on warnings one by one, and check if the effect is as intended.
That's how most drugs primarily affecting the brain work. Not saying it's a good thing, but in the absence of better options, anything is better than nothing.
One issue is that, as stated in the article, Chime seems to be much worse and have an order of magnitude more complaints per customer than actual banks.

The other issue is that Chime is not legally a bank so is not regulated in the same way that banks are.
My use of "consensus" in the OP comment seems to have been mistaken for approval a couple of times in this thread, so I should point out that this ^ comment exactly captures what I'm saying, as does my clarifying comment elsewhere in the thread.
A couple years ago during a period of existential levity, I thought to myself: what's the most ambitious thing I could do with my life? The idea of creating a city for some reason popped into my head. Perhaps it was born out of my frustrations with finding affordable housing and the obsolete nature of the work commute (prescient pre-covid), that I started a blog and started reading about urban economics and sharing some thoughts and notes etc.

Of course going through the process of trying to get a permit for a small home remodel will destroy any enthusiasm one would have to work with any bureaucracy made me quickly forget of the ambition. During that brief period though, I did learn about different efforts out there (some now defunct, ex Google's) of re-imaging the modern city. I do hope some desolate plots of land now become economically viable post-covid and become experimental zones for new ideas and small communities.
Improving I/O efficiency and resilience
The Hedonistic Imperative outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life.

The abolitionist project is hugely ambitious but technically feasible. It is also instrumentally rational and morally urgent. The metabolic pathways of pain and malaise evolved because they served the fitness of our genes in the ancestral environment. They will be replaced by a different sort of neural architecture - a motivational system based on heritable gradients of bliss. States of sublime well-being are destined to become the genetically pre-programmed norm of mental health. It is predicted that the world's last unpleasant experience will be a precisely dateable event.

Two hundred years ago, powerful synthetic pain-killers and surgical anesthetics were unknown. The notion that physical pain could be banished from most people's lives would have seemed absurd. Today most of us in the technically advanced nations take its routine absence for granted. The prospect that what we describe as psychological pain, too, could ever be banished is equally counter-intuitive. The feasibility of its abolition turns its deliberate retention into an issue of social policy and ethical choice.

Why don't you quote his article and then the wikipedia "interpretation" that is "very biased"? Let's take concrete examples. I'll start, here's an excerpt from the section in question in Larry Sanger's article:

> The rest of the article—which, I confess, I did not read entirely, as it is very long

He cares so much about the bias that he can't be bothered to find it. The only thing I saw (and I mentioned in my original post) is that he took issue with the description of statue removal phrasing. So he skips through three long articles, doesn't read them all but finds what he's looking for. This is largely how people operate today, they start with what they want to believe then they go looking for it.
They know the locations of their satellites extremely precisely, and they know the round-trip time from them to the dish. It basically is a positioning system on it's own.
I'm more worried when the doctor is too lazy to even do a Google search. Having an expert do a web search is a decent way to filter out bad results and find a reasonable answer quickly.
I'm sure chronic pain sufferers will feel much better knowing that.
We can already cause pain or pleasure easily. This isn’t anything new. Think about how long the history of torture is.
> I'm confused as to what part of my commentary you found irrational or dishonest.

Climate predictions are complicated but the negative valence coupled with the confidence in your predictions doesn't represent that. That is what I am calling out as proportionality error. It is a version of "this plane crashing would be horrible, even though the probability multiplier is likely to be very small, I can so vividly envision the horrible outcome that I will behave as if it is more probable and have a panic attack". There is a lot of affective/emotional (so-called) reasoning. Not only that, we don't know to what extend (not if) we are projecting our unconscious, personal, perennial problems such as fear-of-death onto a global wish of world not existing after we die for example. Human beings are deeply religious creatures, and in absence of a structured spiritual approach to these problems, we are prone to deify and mythify what is around us. (To be crisply clear, I am not calling anthropogenic climate change a myth by any stretch of imagination, but it is a certainty that our responses are not in 100% correspondence to the reality of it, including as you rightly point out "pulling yourself under the covers and hoping the monster goes away".)

> After all, wasn't this sentiment one of the reasons we collectively failed to address this issue using the reasonable mitigations that were available to us when it was possible? A belief that the "scaremongering" being done by climate scientists for decades was out of proportion?

It wasn't the sentiment, it was the act of humbuggery around the inflated immediacy and absurd dramatization of outcomes, from the likes of Al Gore to Hollywood, that either turned people into apathetic nihilism or burned out defeatism. I am not saying these are single handedly responsible for this response; post-WWII onwards especially during the Cold War people have been culturally trained for these types of thinking and today we are seeing their protracted influence.
As someone with very mild / low-intensity chronic pain, this is promising. My number one fear, limiting me, is that it will get worse, despite medical assurances that it's unlikely. Tech like this could remove that fear and let me live my life (though with my personality, I have no doubt I will find something else to fixate on). I'm working on it with current approaches, but CBT and ssri's only work so well on me. I won't touch opiates with a ten foot pole, though for now, I don't need them. If I ever did, I'm sure my tune would change really fast.

I have also been hopeful of CRISPR targeting of pain, mimicking those with a genetic congenital inability to feel pain. https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2021/04/01/could-crispr-gene-e...
I am watching the progress, but when you suffer from pain and the anxiety from it, nothing comes soon enough. I'm also just a layman - if anyone here knows more and can comment on it, that would be cool.

Last, be weary of snake oil when it comes to any medical condition. Many are unscrupulous.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has some well-known benefits in short term, in diseases such as Parkinson's (ref https://www.nature.com/articles/s41582-019-0145-9). Although, long term effects tend to fade in a lot of cases, and some patients have permanent neurologic damage after the procedure. Although exciting, there are a couple of non-surgical treatments to pain that have to be tried before invasive approaches.
While this is true compared to past societies, the only frame that matters for us right now is the present. Relatively speaking, I am also fabulously wealthy and I eat better than Kings. But I still rent a one bedroom apartment and can't afford a home.
> they are above non-fulfilling work

I think there are a lot of fullfilling work. Certainly more than the man power and resources our society can meaningfully assigned to them.

But the problem is that the system forces upon a lot of members a rather distasteful attitude and practical matters that drive them away. Often, one would find certain things lacking monetary rewards are fullfilling, but were drove off because they are in a social circle that exerts pressure. This actually happen more often in China than US.

For example, one is forced to earn money for their offsprings. But to do that one is allowed to do a lot of work that is not really fullfilling by design. Like coding for people to click ads. I am not saying all of the work done for people to click ads are not fullfilling, it's just the percentage is clearly larger than what we want, and is growing still.

From the system thinking perspective, the time for rethinking, a little bit about changing the social rewarding system probably is worthwhile.
Did you expect them to start testing it on humans before mice?
I guess Amazon just started to understand they have no clue about how gamedev industry works. They invested heavily in this, but nobody wanted their proprietary tech with cloud lock-in.

Now they changed strategy to compete with Epic's Unreal by making the engine actually royality-free and open source. It's very logical step that to compete with source-available product you need one under proper open source license with patents grant.
Only feelings. Eliminating thoughts is kind of counter-productive.
I don't think the modern Paul Verhoeven would be poking fun at just America. I think that hypothetical director would be poking fun at China and its attempts to bully other nation states in Africa and the world as well. That enough would throw it in the "not in China" camp of films.
There is literally nobody in this thread arguing that the redefinition is salutary, or even sane. I think that the idea that "racism" only applies to certain races isn't just foolish, it's evil. But one can describe the _existence_ of a phenomenon without endorsing it. The bubbles who subscribe to this definition are the relevant ones when discussing how Tiktok's content policy was written.
You also see a lot of the opposite, tbh. Resentment in general tends to be largely driven by personal attitudes, regardless of one's actual circumstances.
I haven't changed the goal posts, criteria were clearly stated higher up. If Jacobabad gets abandoned, perhaps we can talk. Although in "Collapse" you can read about places that were abandoned after thousands of years in the past, so even such a thing is not proof that we are doomed.
Show HN: Is the mcdonald's ice cream machine broken in Switzerland?
Everything in between the killer-reveal episode and the finale is god-awful, yes.
Companies in various parts of world deal with extortion as a cost of doing business.

Ransomware companies are companies. They set their fees high but not so high they drive their "customers" out of business, at least not all their customers.

I hope things will change. The most likely seems like more of the same thing, which clearly won't change the situation. Also, the government huffs and puffs about arresting people somewhere.

The whole thing has "fall of the Roman Empire" vibes to it.
Most users have never programmed their PC.
Yup. I've been watching my comments about this bob up and down. That's typical for me whenever I post something that's directly critical of the US far right, even if it's neutrally stated and supported by references. For all the supposed concern about Orwellian social media censorship on HN, there's clearly a brigade of far-right supporters eager to downvote anything they aren't comfortable with.
Ask HN: How do you manage SQL code alongside application code?
When not using an ORM: how do you marry SQL with the main programming language of the application (be it web, or data science etc.)?

On the one hand, it feels right to abstract the SQL database access into some kind of centralised API - but that feels like reinventing an ORM. Of course the difference remains that the hand-written queries are more specific than what the ORM can produce, but still.

The alternative seems messy - there is one shared database, and different parts of the application manage their own little slice of it. If you then want to, say, join tables from different logical domains, are you at risk of your queries getting out of date as different parts of the application evolve?

What about creating tables and indices - do you do that as a centralised, "format" process, or do different parts of the application create them as and when? Or do you even do it by hand? Where do any such creation scripts live - a centralised bootstrap script, or again, dispersed throughout the application?

Do you hard-code queries as strings in the application, or do they live as separate files? How do you keep table creation and insert/update queries in sync?

The context is, I'm setting up some SQL for a data-science-y project, that might lead to something bigger. I'm scraping various data sources and sticking them into a DB (SQLite for now), and I'm trying to think ahead, so as not to create one big ball of spaghetti.I'm trying to avoid using an ORM, to both better learn SQL, and after some critical comments found on the good old t'Internet.

All thoughts and ideas welcome - and thanks!
You analogy is completely inaccurate and flawed. "Private" commercial kitchens (e.g. on campuses) absolutely have to follow food safety regulations.
Crimson Skies was based on a tabletop game that came with a decent amount of world building material in the box. Tabletop wargame designers in general seem to love releasing source material that isn't directly tied to the game.
I am out of my depth here, but I do not really understand why this matters. Could you elaborate?

Basically, I understand that shifts for incoming serial bits is very convenient. But as long as you specify the "word size" used in your local memory, I do not see the problem: just use 8 (for instance) shifts for your 8-bit word and then go to the next memory location. Why is this fantasy wrong?
There seems to be a misconception that the Lighthouse score is linked to the page experience search rank update. Higher Lighthouse scores won't give you better SEO. Only better results from field data (albeit only Chrome field data) will impact your search results [1].

Lighthouse is only intended to be a guide (name checks out) for developers to identify potential opportunities to improve real-user performance. Core Web Vitals is how Google has decided to align lab and field data in a more unified way. Historically, this has been pretty difficult, particularly with interactivity measurements. For example, Total Blocking Time (TBT) is a lab proxy metric for First Input Delay (FID) — they don't measure the same thing. The team at Google has frequently communicated that the only true way to know is from measuring on real users [2].

While the metrics aren't perfect, they are taking in feedback to adjust how metrics are measured and weighted, such as with the windowed CLS update [3]. I for one have found the tools and browser support for measuring performance to have improved significantly, even in the last few years. Kudos to the Web Perf community, who I'm sure would appreciate any feedback.

Are those countries that also don't let you stay in the left lane?

But even if it's illegal to pass on the right, it's still a terrible idea to change lanes to the right without looking behind you!

I've spent the last few years developing a declarative GUI programming language and implementation (https://github.com/IrisChase/IVD), it's not done yet because life happens. "should be done soon it only needs the last 5%" is the current status. The project is currently shelved while I think about where I want to take it, and I've started developing an app in TypeScript/React/Node/SQLite and debating making it an Electron app. My experience thus far is all solo projects.
Substitute "move into a dead urban neighborhood" for "build a town" and you have the gentrification cycle everyone's been talking about for decades.

Honestly, looking at how Republicans are divorcing themselves from reality makes me theorize that there are similar physiological/chemical effects at play in modern society (and the rise of similar movements in Europe). A lot of these people grew up when lead was far more ubiquitous. When environmental regulations were far less stringent. I wouldn't be surprised if chemicals were having long-term effects that we're only really seeing play out now.

I watched a thing on youtube regarding luxury goods manufacturers as the ultimate slave makers. Not because of the obvious sweat shops, but because they can convince smart/rich people that they're still inadequate and need to work even more so they can buy whatever the hell is being pushed. I thought it was an interesting concept, not 100% onboard, but interesting.
Late stage meaning incurable? If that's the prognosis, why not just end their suffering?
Literally thousands of species, from coyotes to whales to crows, teach their young survival behaviors and have "culture". The more we look at our fellow DNA-based creatures on the planet, the less special we are. Personally, I think if you really cared about humans, you'd be interested in understanding and valuing the complex and fragile lifeforms that are being trampled by our current prevailing societal attitude of consumption and perpetual growth and preserving those fragile things for future humans to enjoy, instead of being mindless consumers disconnected from nature. Jeesh, as if no humans in history had fulfilling lives without potato chips, bottled water, and endless online entertainment.
That’s why I don’t trust any of these new trendy banking apps; better to stick with established institutions IMO. Not that they’re great either but at least you won’t be in a situation like this, or at the very least they’ll have better customer support.
Augustine was one of its foremost practitioners and was fully inculcated in Roman culture. His writing is as good as anything produced during the classical era. The Confessions are one of the most significant texts in all of Latin literature.

If we see Christianity as a shift in focus rather than a break, that pushes the “downfall” back to 400 AD or later at the least.
But USA is ‘going down’ isn’t it? Media is created more and more for Chinese audiences. The market there is simply more appealing for producers. What gets produced has always been economically motivated, why would that change now?
A good renderer is only a small part of a game engine. The rest of CryEngine was a heaving mess for actually trying to make a game in without direct access to the people making it.
Then it seems like scale should be part qualifying for the exemption. In this case the power plant is absolutely at a large enough scale that it should be regulated.
"Easier to build a startup" may also correlate inversely with startup success, as that lowers the barrier to entry and increases the competition vastly.

Because here’s something else that’s weird but true: in the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship–be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles–is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive.
"WIV officials told the investigators that serum samples for all staff and students in the bat coronavirus group subsequently tested negative for Covid antibodies. We have only their word to go on because the lab hasn’t been independently audited, but if that’s true,..."

My goodness, that statement from the essay is missing critical context. The lab hasn't been independently audited because the CCP refused permission for any independent inspections.

And yes, you are allowed to take into account their refusal to allow inspections when making a judgement on whether the CCP is covering up a lab-leak.
Linux does (since version 3.6) have the ability to prevent users from creating hardlinks to files they don't own. (See man 5 proc under "/proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks".) I think FreeBSD has a similar sysctl option.

The linked article does mention it but warns "If you're not using systemd, the vanilla Linux kernel does not enable these protections by default".
Unbelievable. I have a website with an intro animation element that loads instantly and lasts 7 seconds. Guess what my LCP is? 7 seconds. The combination of power and neglect from google here is astounding.
