> Science is simply a method that can be done well or badly

Science as a word doesn’t typically denote “the scientific method”. It usually means the body of knowledge and the collective of institutions that claim to practice the method.

The bad studies may not be fundamental to some abstract ideal of what science could be, but they seem pretty fundamental to humans doing science in the real world.
I had Black 3.0, sold it to get musou black.

Black 3.0 was no darker than the inside of my macro tubes, and not too black IMHO

Musou black is way darker, and does make a difference when using it as a coating.
Very true, payment platforms have their own limitations, but PinePage is in the process of actively developing additional payment integrations such as PayPal and most importantly crypto.
Cars don't always have the same name in different locales, just like if you're building an app or website you wind up changing strings to better fit a locale, even if it uses the same language.
If every time you do it is a one-off, yes. If your business is essentially nothing but aggregating datasets (which may themselves be aggregates of still more datasets), then by the third time you've solved the exact problem, you're going to see commonalities. You abstract those out so that the fourth, fifth, and sixth problems don't have to re-write that part. After a while, you've built out enough abstractions that you're programming the migration process itself, not each migration.

Add in the fact that your business depends on doing it at scale, ingesting live data as it is generated, and developing an entity resolution system is almost a no-brainer.
Natural language syntax is precise too. It's not like it's personal idiosyncratic preference. People will mostly agree whether something is syntactically correct or incorrect.
Good points. I do wonder about next-gen chemical/genetic weapons that advanced countries could create with the motivation though.

Like some crazy airborne virus but only the good guys™ have the antidote/vaccine.

>how many more lives would have been lost if they had detonated similar quantities of explosives

Wasn't it just a few guys with suitcases, and I think one of them didn't even puncture the container? With conventional weapons there might be more deaths but maybe not.
Student Pilot Loses Engine – Cockpit View [video]
what i don't get, is how a copy of (parts of) whatever's code, (or worse, a concoction of them), without any context, would solve anything but import the (unfound yet) errors as well, and introduce new errors.

Hah, just make it autocommit, and will be much like with self-driving cars - human takes the blame for computer's mistakes (= algorithm/ programmer/ knowledgebase), as well as hir own, and can't/won't do anything about it..

> So even if a big fraction of C++ programmers disagree,

The percentage of c++ programmers using exceptions seems to increase in jetbrains survey - for the last one it's at 80%, it used to be close to 60% iirc. I wouldn't call 20% a big fraction.

There are no other ways to prevent an invalid object representation to exist unless one is willing to wrap literally everything in optionals, basically reimplementing an exception unwind stack by hand.
is an institution not a group of people as well? People with consciences, moralities and other human emotions?

If not, what's the difference to any other organisation such as, in an absolute extreme form, an army or a "terror"group apart from the agenda.

Really curious, not trying to construct a strawman!
Prohibiting certain software doesn't solve any problem. Did US prohibiting the export of strong cryptography solve any problem?

Instead, we should rather harden the security of our computer. I consider all smartphones are insecure. Anybody who own or relies on smartphones are just trading security for the convenience.

I will never want to own or relies on smartphone... or phone at all.
For the sake of completeness: there isn't really a big necessity in pushing that limit, it's not that it earns us, the society, something, while its risks are unclear.

I remember someone being enthusiastic that "our young are exploring their sexuality". What will happen if they don't? Nothing. They will explore something else and be fine.
This release argues that there are significant improvements by using bipolar battery. That's why I post here.

What other kind of battery is there?
The majority of issues that people face with their dwellings are nuisance issues. Leaky or clogged plumbing. Malfunctioning appliances. Faulty fixtures. These aren’t things anyone would pay a lease break fee for, nor would they be anything that would preclude the sale of a home.

If a roof had a leak in a rental, you could easily find yourself with a landlord who patches it, regardless of the fact it really needs replaced. What do they care if you have to make a renters insurance claim every 6 months? It ain’t their stuff!
Ask HN: Should a Node.js Developer Learn Java and Spring Boot?
From a Node.js / TypeScript developer in need of more structure (with less boilerplate), willing to learn Java:

Considering Spring comes batteries included (functionalities and patterns already implemented in the framework), is this a smart investment of time and energy to learn these technologies for microservices / devOps?

Job market for Spring Boot is rich.

What is your real world professional experience with it ?

Any logical (not emotional) reasons why not a smart choice (or why it is) ?

Note: the focus is on Java and the Spring ecosystem, not why Rust is better...

Thanks

The underlying implementation of the main classical part of the solvers are fairly similar. See for example the overview of how to implements such systems by the main authors of SICStus Prolog and Gecode in https://chschulte.github.io/papers/schultecarlsson-cph-2006.... . Choosing a solver to solve a specific problem comes down to experience, familiarity, available global constraints, and suitability for the problem and implementation environment at hand.

With that said, solvers such as OR-Tools (in their newer CP-SAT engine) and Chuffed are using something called Lazy Clause Generation, which can be very effective for many problems. This is partly a newer way to implements CP solvers that uses a built-in SAT solver as the domain store. I know of no Prolog system that uses this architecture.
I wonder if these kind of cases will fall under responsible disclosure in the future like security vulnerabilities.
Yeah. I often call them actually. It's nice to finally be able to get someone on the phone, but they're really unhelpful unfortunately, even when asking to escalate. The general answer is "the team that handles these matters is a black box and we can't contact them; we can't write to them; we can't walk to their desks; we have no way of communicating with them".

Apparently the only way to get in touch with this team who's banned my account is through a form that they don't respond to.

The people on the phone are nice; I beg, bribe, offer to send chocolates; but their response is always the same. They really seem to have no way of contacting this team. The only other avenue is the jeff@amazon outlet which doesn't respond to my emails. I've emailed that address maybe 4 times total about this issue; the first time they did respond and seemed to get me pretty close to resolution; but then stopped responding half way through. The follow up attempts to jeff@amazon after the first stopped receiving replies.

Maddening! I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've felt stressed out in my life; but this is one of those rare occasions because I feel so powerless.

Wish you could have seen the product I was selling. It had an average of 4.8 star reviews; over 300 which had been submitted. All real customers. I was so proud of that.

Better at issuing haphazardly modified boilerplate that already exists... the real costs of writing code are about carefully choosing how pieces will fit together and deciding on minutae with that in mind.

Copilot is the antithesis of designing good software.

> Funny how we can get stuck with a language from the early 70s and we're still in the process of replacing it half a century later.

I see that as a good thing. I’d much rather have a battle tested framework than everything being rewritten every 5 years in whatever is currently trendy simply because a new generation of developers are suffering from NIH (not invented here) syndrome.

I mean, yes C has its problems so I’m all for using safer languages, but just take a look at the mess that is front end web development and tell me that the alternative isn’t better.

I seriously hope languages like Rust do evolve into being much more than a fad. I’ve been in the industry a fair few years now and have seen languages fall in and out of favour (Pascal, Java, OCaml, Go, etc sure someone of them are still popular but nowhere near as much as when their respective hype machine was in town) and really what systems development really needs is another ‘C’ — as in a language that survives the next 50 years as a standard low level language that people can build solid operating systems from. Whatever language people want to code on top of that base is then fair game.
Lots of finance companies shell out a lot of money for KDB+, a fast real-time database. Other than performance, the main selling point is that it comes with its own imperative language (K/Q). You can build entire API's and trading systems in Q: persistence, load balancing, streaming analytics, &tc. In that way, Q solves a different "two-language problem". There are not many serious competitors.

If Julia had its own lean realtime database implementation, then I can see it becomming a killer language for finance. JuliaDB/OnlineStats is probably 60% of the way there.
I think a lot of artists and content creators would also like a word.
Anyone who'd even work for someone who thinks of them as "hardcore nerds" (this characterization shows a level of disrespect for skills and knowledge that I can't even fathom) isn't likely the sort of person who's gonna give 110% like a real professional IT person would. A proper IT guy doesn't build "random unmaintainable" anything. If they do, then you totally hired the wrong guy. ;)

Unlike Patreon, they do not charge only once a month but continuously as subscriptions renew, as pay-to-view videos are purchased etc. A hundred dollar monthly Patreon bill is much more noticeable than a few bucks every few days.

Also, it's possible to tip on posts but the minimum tip is five dollars.

The sum of these policies mean using Onlyfans requires real careful budgeting and I do not think most people are good at budgeting especially at budgeting for porn... So I wouldn't be surprised if we were to read stories about people getting bankrupted by this site -- obviously most people would not be particularly forthcoming about getting bankrupted by porn...
>The Olympics are a prime example of what Boykoff calls “celebration capitalism.”

I can't take Jacobin seriously when it frames everything in this way. The next olympics are in China and are bankrolled by the government. This seems relevant when making the framing that the problem are caused by capitalism - and not by bureaucratic corruption which seems to fit the problems listed in the article more clearly.

I do agree with your point. However, I feel like regulations & norms tends to work over time.

If security became a mandatory thing, single actors will of course be slow to invest, but the industry by itself will adapt by easing the adaptation to regulation.

For example, in fire safety, it’s now harder to build a non fireproof building because nobody will build that since building technics are now fully integrating this issue.

Your local web agency may not do a lot more effort to backup its data due to regulation, but you can imagine that its hosting provider would be able to provide a cheap and friendly backup solution thanks to this becoming mandatory.

It’s just my thoughts.
About 11% of the respondents also agree that it's extremely amusing :-)
There are lots of human endeavors that have zero shareholders, involve computers, and the people doing them think about security exactly 0 minutes out of the day and everyone thrives. This is to say that the opinion about how it’s the bottom line blah blah blah is probably totally wrong, and maybe the security blowhards are just talking about shit that is irrelevant like 99% of the time.
A dinosaur-killing asteroid hitting China isn't going to do much good for the US.

I think you're correct, but I also think that's a property of the human condition and underlies nearly everything humans do for attention (to some extent or another, obviously to a much lesser extent the broader we're talking).

Trauma, anxiety and desperation are so common that I'm not sure what isn't impacted by them, I guess is my meaning.
While I agree with your concerns about licensing and copilot, this criticism doesn't seem particularly relevant to the article that was shared.
Nope. Your experience mirrors mine. They should probably be broken up.
In all literature there are strong themes of mistaking the blessing for a curse, and vice versa.
What if the ransomware has been hiding for a few months before it activated? You'd either have overwritten the last clean backup by then or you'd restore the ransomware too. Or am I missing something?
I want a way for health care professionals to have to stand by their “yeah this is covered by your insurance quips” which often turn out to be lies. Make covered definable, and accurate.

Or stick with “I dont know” if the liability is too high, because it is impossible to know since they submit things for reimbersal.

The shaken confidence may lead patients to just not follow through with certain procedures on the spot until they have a chance to research costs, which may be easy to form an opinion about if one tier of costs are posted by the hospitals in the area.

First, don't underestimate people's ability to read some papers on Hacker News. It's not that hard. And second, what's wrong with anonymous alleged HCWs? Seems like the intersection of politics and science has gotten out of hand if you ask me. Also, if you could please find me a well-laid out superset of the articles in ivmmeta.com, I will gladly replace the link.

Social media users are only just starting to realize that posting pictures when they're on vacation informs all their followers that they aren't at home and could be easily burgled; and the Bling Ring was over a decade ago ;)

Sites like OnlyFans could have mandatory training about not revealing sensitive details (close the curtains before you shoot, take your diploma off the wall, use a stage name, etc.). But yes, your face is a giveaway; and every day it becomes easier to turn a couple breadcrumbs into a full dossier of someone's life.

Tax incentives depend on your legislation, but they can make a difference, yes. Leverage also comes with higher risk, which makes it a bit of an unfair comparison in my opinion. If you really wanted, you could also use leverage on your stock investments, but I personally would never do that.
Hmm... maybe its my german heritage, but i don't see Starship Troopers as THAT dystopian:

Every politican has skin in the game (mandatory military service for gaining the right to vote or be voted for)

No racism or sexism or other discrimination, at least there are no traces for that in either the movie nor the novel.

If you don't want to join the military: No problem, you don't have any major disadvantages (besides no political participation), see the wealthy family of the protagonist.

To be clear I'm not saying that if you've ever cried then you're not manly. And I'm not saying I've never cried. But the times I've cried are for some exceptionally emotional moments. Loss of my father, for example.

There are many who romanticize the idea of men crying over small things, and I think that's not healthy or productive. I know many people who will cry when they lose a game in their hobby of choice, for example. That kind of thing is too much IMO.

Instead of learning to have a "healthy outlet" I think people need to learn to control their emotions better.

> I don't value myself as a likeable person as much as she does. If she wouldn't cry about it, she'd feel worse as a person and I wouldn't know, and I wouldn't comfort her.

Isn't that a huge vulnerability, though? Going through life caring so much about people liking you, that you cry every time you think someone doesn't?

IMO it's way better to figure out how to not care as much in this kind of situation, than to accept that crying is a "healthy outlet". Instead of being sad and crying to release your emotions, you could instead learn to be happy regardless.
It is tempting to apply Betteridge's Law and answer no. But, perhaps the answer is yes. It probably can be a blessing, once you're used to it. And it certainly can be a curse, writing code that is incorrect, buggy, or just not understood by the programmer. It would be nice if it better could explain its reasons and add references relating to the snippets. Maybe one day. Until then, I think I'll just google stackexchange as I've been doing for so long...
The article mentions TabNine as an alternative. I think TabNine’s approach of providing one-line autocomplete suggestions is a nice middle ground where you’re still in charge of writing code but can do it faster with AI assistance.

Unlike Copilot you don’t have to give it instructions - it guesses what you’re trying to do from context. And since it works on a single line of code at a time, providing multiple completions which you can glance at and decide whether to use or ignore, you the programmer are still in charge of planning the function and making choices.
I think having working backups is closer to locking your store and having security cameras than it is to hiring a team of soldiers.

That's only if you have those emotions to begin with. It's very reasonable to train yourself to not have those emotions and therefore not carry that baggage.

And that doesn't mean being a brick wall. That just means not caring as much. Going with the flow. Being happy regardless. However you want to word it.

As a long time C programmer I love seeing these sorts of 'better C' languages.

I absolutely abhor modern C++ syntax, but there's one thing I think they deserve credit for. The C++ community is thinking deeply about first principles, consistency, composability, memory models and forward progress guarantees. I hope anyone looking to improve C learns from the longsuffering of the C++ world while avoiding many of their syntactical mistakes and evolutionary half-steps.

I really hope the C++ standards committee has a well funded legal purse. In 20 years when the lawsuits start coming from all the ex-programmers battling brain tumors they're going to need it.
