From my experience the French post deals with these just fine. They have to, this issue is quite common. I have regularly received mail with a mangled address because whoever sent it did not bother to check encoding and some Unicode got printed as something else.

Also, if you write the country at the bottom (as you should), they will just send it to wherever that country’s postal services will pick it up without bothering to match whatever’s on top to a local place.
When I watched Brazil the first time as I was a kid I couldn't imagine anything shown there being possible in real life. Especially the lack of the right to repair - we repaired everything from all the plumbing and electric wiring (and that was in apartment buildings, not just in private houses, private houses didn't even require any bureaucracy at all - people just built for themselves whatever way they wanted from whatever materials they had, often without any project whatsoever) to all the electronics, let alone cars ourselves during those days. I also couldn't imagine people being be SWATed in their homes for non-violent offenses (by mistake or not).

Now I see the movie has been implemented into life almost precisely and the AI with mass surveillance has been introduced to make it even worse.

To make it more fun and looking realistic today they even portrayed people kinda watching Netflix on their office computers when the boss doesn't look (AFAIK computers were not actually capable of streaming videos over the network during the days the movie was filmed).
Please do, that would be brilliant.
For #2, there are people crossing in boats https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-kent-58100694 (and I don't think there's enough will to use the Navy to stop them).
The same can be said of numerous products/industries 'disrupted' by YC/HN types. Kettle/pot? Specialized are no angels themselves. There are no sacred cows anymore - sorry but screw your small/local/artisanal shite - this from someone who would've ordinarily supported your sentiment. But these aren't ordinary times - the quest for economies of scale will bring scorched earth to everybody one way or another.
In the 1990s it was. VisualAge, Dolphin, VisualWorks and Digitalk all had gui painters. They were competing against Visual Basic and things like Powerbuilder. For a lot of customers, a gui painter was the killer part of the deal, because back then it was notoriously hard to make interfaces.

They have fallen out of fashion I guess but for rapid development back then, if you didn't have a gui painter you didn't sell your dev environment.

I am pretty old fashioned, I just expected some minimal painter to be available in Pharo, maybe somebody can point one out. The tutorials for the Pharo gui environment are quite daunting. The VisualWorks ui painter is awful but at least it exists.
This is a pretty obtuse perspective. Fiction can be written for the express purpose of achieving insight. Just because something is fictional or humorous doesn't limit that - it can emphasise it. See - A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift.

> The vast majority is fuelled by litrerally endless investor money with only two modes of operation: corner the market (that is, outlive other competitors who don't have such an unlimited amount of money) or get sold.

Yes that is the business model and business is good. As opposed to EU which is a wasteland where nothing grows. Lots of businesses are built to be sold to larger businesses. It makes sense and there is nothing wrong with this model. As for investing in money losing enterprises, so what? If investors are willing to do it let them.
Lsp-mode didn’t add to my config, but replaced many bespoke autocompletion solutions for various languages. I’d recommend taking that leap
No, I think that's fair in this case. Most of my stuff involves a lot more post-processing, tweaking, editing etc to convey something specific, in which case I claim 'art' more liberally :)
But aren't these L/D numbers calculated for a theoretical case where there is no wind? What kind of L/D ratios would you see for helicopters, planes and blimps given a 20 knot head wind?

Sure, I don't doubt a blimp is more efficient when the wind is blowing it to where it wants to go, but what happens when the wind doesn't cooperate?

EDIT: yes, the Wikipedia page states that L/D numbers are usually presented as graphs, because they are dependent on speed. This means that without knowing the wind speed the blimp is facing, especially given it travels at a lowly 35 MPH, you can't really calculate an L/D number. For the helicopter and airplane, the wind matters less as they are going much faster.
UIPath has a huge development office in Bucharest, most of the company is there.

Europe’s lack of competitiveness in tech has been true pretty much since the birth of Silicon Valley.

It was the same with the PC business back in the 80s and 90s. Here’s an article from the New York Times in 1996, struggling to understand why European PC manufacturers were all failing to expand outside their home markets:
https://www.nytimes.com/1996/10/07/business/why-european-com...

25 years later, the story is the same. Europe missed out on most of the big business opportunities of the internet, fell behind and lost the smartphone revolution, is largely missing from the top names in the app store, failed to create an internationally relevant social media company, etc. etc.

However, I wonder if this could be an inflection point. Covid has dragged everyone into the future kicking and screaming. Meanwhile Europe is looking grossly undervalued due to a lack of tech exposure. European stock markets have been essentially flat since 2009 while American stock markets have 3X’d (pre-2009, European returns basically tracked American ones). Tech salaries in Europe are now just 1/5th of what they are in Silicon Valley. It seems like the pendulum has swung a little too far in the American direction.

It took Europe 40+ years to become internationally competitive with Detroit in auto manufacturing during the 1900s. Maybe this is the natural cycle (of course, this time there’s no wars to use as an excuse).

If I were ever going to place a bet on Europe in the last 40 years, now would be the time.
And yet professional boxers regularly gas after 5 rounds of 3 minutes... Now add equipment, particularly armour.

Or look up a Judo match, particularly during tournaments. You can see these guys are often wrecked after a particularly long match, and typically matches last only a few minutes. Just see Judo matches in the last Olympics, guys who typically have 3 to 5 training sessions a day, 7 days a week, for 2 decades.

This is awesome!

With all that data you could do some ML model to make sure your cat is on proper weight (or study the patterns just for fun even, if you later don't apply it), like delivering more or less food or at appropriate intervals.
But then they mentioned Posten, so whatever the problem was, it wasn’t Deutsche Post’s fault. Also, they should not try to match the address if it is for another country.
Are companies randomly given lottery tickets normalized by employee count or do e.g. bigger successful companies get more tickets?
Looking into the linked data,[1] it looks like a lot of these "unicorns" are blockchain technology companies. I might be biased here as a shitcoin sceptic, but I would love to see in 10 years what happened to these "unicorns"

>Right, while hurtling down the freeway I can always dig the 500 page manual out and dig through it. Note that I can't use the index to find those icons, because icons have no alphabetic order. Like I said, going backwards 2000 years.

You can't also look at index to decipher what it means to see "red light bulb that is 'on' over two light bulbs that are 'off'" or "human figure walking over piano keyboard inside a white triangle which is inside a blue square" when you are driving, you are supposed to get familiar with those symbols before get in the car. Typical car has barely a dozen or two pictograms, and any car is a machine than can easily kill and maim. It would be advisable to look at the manual before one starts driving. Of course, it would advisable if those symbols were also standardized like traffic signs.

I actually agree with you about Unicode mission creep, but it is better not get overboard with pictograms that have nothing to with Unicode.
Makes me want to ask: Has anybody (excepting NASA, poor sods) still got running SUN (not oracle) hardware?

GIMP at least stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. You can see where the name came from.

This looks like nothing more than poor taste.
> The reason it's a problem is, as it turns out, this model works really well for a lot of people and is fantastically popular.

Turns out a lot of people don't want to deal with the responsibilities of completely owning a device (updates, anti-malware, app origin), and are willing to give up some control/ownership in exchange for convenience and being able to get on with life. (Certainly not everyone of course.)

Whether this view of convenience is short-sighted and will be regretted long-term remains to be seen.

Absolutely. Learning new tools is cumbersome, and programs like Vim and Emacs are not just different but also completely unfamiliar for newcomers. Everything you know from the usual text editors is at least partially useless and when you can't even press Ctrl-S to save the file it seems hard to justify learning the basics from scratch.

It's easier to just install VS Code and click on a couple plugins. And I mean it's hard to see the benefits beforehand. Some people I met thought Vim is just some ancient editor with the featureset of Notepad and needlessly complicated controls. That those controls could be really intuitive doesn't come to mind.
The options are:

* Faceless multinational A, that gives lip service to privacy and doesn't give a shit about freedom

* Faceless multinational B, that gives lip service to freedom and doesn't give a shit about privacy

* Trying to kickstart an alternative ecosystem - a task that Microsoft, one of the richest companies in the world, was unsuccessful at.

* Not owning a smartphone
Your argument gets us nowhere. Because we accept the control Apple currently has, we are entitled to nothing and should accept any arbitrary change? No, that's not how it works. We accept the walled garden in a mutually beneficial exchange.
7 steps isn't cumbersome.

-- 1) Open Chrome.

-- 2) Find and Download APK. https://i.imgur.com/ZFZb1uE.png

-- 3) Accept warning and Open APK.

-- 4) Go to settings. (This only has to be done once) https://i.imgur.com/R8FzTzP.png

-- 5) Toggle Install Unknown Apps for Chrome. (This only has to be done once) https://i.imgur.com/K0ADO2q.png

-- 6) Click back (This only has to be done once)

-- 7) Click install. https://i.imgur.com/xVSndex.png

-- Done. https://i.imgur.com/fyasTK9.png

Once you do this for the first time, the process reduces down to 4 steps each time after: Open Chrome, Download APK, Open APK, Click Install. Done.
I guess I am getting old... In the "old" times, computers and software came with manuals.

A common appendix of those manuals were encoding tables, i.e., every column was an encoding and every row a codepoint.

Sometimes you had to introduce relatively common characters by pressing a special key and then the number of the codepoint for the character you wanted to insert.
Whenever this topic is brought up i wish people replied with concrete, specific situations rather than rationalizations that masquerade as abstractions for their choices. I 've had the luxury to be a solo dev , and every time i look up at a new shiny name that seems to be popular here (so many names! seemingly without hierarchy), i end up wondering "why isn't this thing useless"

Maybe we could just use something that can't be stolen. Something like a shared secret that is exchanged through secure channels beforehand and then only resides in the users permanent memory. The second party could even use some kind of novel mathematical function that maps arbitrarily sized secrets to a seemingly random fixed size value that is both sufficiently different for similiar inputs and big enough to avoid collisions. That would allow them to not store the secret in plain text as they could just compare the output of the function with the previously saved one to verify that the secret the user gave is most likely correct.
> European stock markets have been essentially flat since 2009 while American stock markets have 3X’d.

The DAX30 (German Index) tripled since 2009. The British and French indices did pretty much move sideways though.

The growth of the S&P 500 is pretty amazing though.
Given Europe’s[0] GDP is slightly higher than that of China, I don’t think it really needs much explanation as to why. If anything, the previous state of affairs warranted an explanation.

[0] Continental Europe GDP $22.9 trillion vs. China $16.64 trillion (Wikipedia); this article appears to include the UK in “Europe”, so it isn’t just about the EU, which was ~= GDP to China before the UK left.
I'm using Emacs as my main development tool since more than a decade. In recent years, the improvements around language server tooling, especially lsp-mode [1], makes setting emacs up for different environments and languages a lot simpler. I regularly dabble around with Jetbrain tools mostly to compare if I'm missing out on something but I mostly don't find that to be the case.

And in some areas emacs is just better than other tools in my opinion. E.g. I consider emacs-cider [2] to provide the best Clojure development experience.

[2] https://cider.mx/
Linters such as golangci[1] which will warn if you ignore the return value. If you ever write Go again I highly recommend you look at golangci -- the security checks have been really helpful to me.

I personally think it is rather inelegant to reinvent portions of a programming language inside your configuration file format. "IncludeIf" seems to be like that. On top of that, if any modern language would combine "include" and "if" into one statement, then it would be frowned upon.
I like your argument in principle, but in my experience automatic exception stack traces in logs can get you ~80% of the way there with 0 effort, even more if there are enough happy path logs as well (e.g.

$time, INFO, reading from /tmp/some-file
$time, ERROR, FileNotFoundException at $whole-stack-trace

).

Conversely, the Go ecosystem is actually extremely bad with errors, using error strings almost everywhere, and adding very little context at that.

Whereas on Android you can simply download the APK from within the device. No host PC needed. No developer cert. No expiry.
I really don't consider myself a free market extremist. I fully support regulation for health and safety reasons, mandatory accurate and informative product descriptions, minimum quality requirements in many areas, consumer protection laws such as minimum warranty periods. There are many areas where it makes sense for us collectively, through our governments, to make sure we as consumers are not getting ripped off and get a fair deal. It's just balancing out the power disparity between vendors and individual customers.

So I am open to arguments for regulating mobile phone platforms, if that proves to be necessary. I just don't think it is, none of the arguments Ive seen so far are compelling. They mostly seem to be sour grapes. "I want to buy X product with P, Q, R features and nobody is making one, we should force them to by law". No, that's not how that works.
The problem is here:

>As a infosec professional by trade, I just can’t believe how easy this was. Billion dollar company with absolutely no security awareness passed down to there techs

They aren't 'techs' manning the support chats. They are (often outsourced) lower skilled workers that follow a script and routine... if anything falls out of that script they are lost.
Yes I regard LSP highly and used it for one past job in particular.

Other than that I enjoy a slow-moving Emacs setup. Also for Clojure in particular which is my main area of focus, the runtime-centric approach tends to be more accurate than the static one.

That is changing though and hybrid solutions are on the rise (like the Calva plugin for VSCode).
The smartcard is an ID card.
Got any more of these? I love historical comments like this, from HN especially. It is really interesting (and entertaining) to see an idea being dismissed as trivial, knowing that it ends up becoming the core of a multibillion dollar company.

I suppose in the case of HN, I could probably use hn.algolia.com to find submissions of startups we now know to be highly successful.
One thing they got wrong is the fact that upcase(downcase('İ')) is not reliably 'İ' and downcase(upcase('ı')) is not reliably 'ı' without extra assumptions.

That is, Unicode is missing

(1) Unicode Character 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DOTLESS I' (????)

and

(2) Unicode Character 'LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE' (????)

or some such so that upcase('ı') could be mapped unambiguously to (1) and downcase('İ') could be mapped unambiguously to (2). Of course, they would have identical glyphs with 'I' and 'i', respectively.

I haven't investigated if there was a rationale to save two codepoints, but handling documents that contain an unknown mix of Turkish and other languages becomes rather weird. For example, "sık sık" becomes rather inappropriate after going through downcase∘upcase and "kilim" maps to "kılım" after going through the same mapping.

Most software rely on the current locale to make these decisions. That is, of course, not feasible in systems that process documents received from arbitrary sources.
There are two new trackball models released this year, the nano and mini.
As someone who has interviewed techs in my time, I can tell you that what the employer wants more than anything is to see YOU.

Don't treat employers like idiots. They can smell the stink of a massaged CV/Resume a mile off. They can equally tell if the person on the other side of the interview table is attempting to stick to a polished script.

The best thing you can do for yourself is be YOU. The employer wants to see the real person. The person that will be expected to work with their colleagues, customers and suppliers. They want to see the same person today that they will see a year later in the work environment, not some Jekyll & Hyde double personality.

The last thing the interviewer wants is a polished turd, i.e. someone who interviews well and then is utterly useless in the job because they are incapable of working with others or don't have the skills they promised.
Thanks, I respect your viewpoint; indeed I can relate to it having held that view for a long time too up until a few months ago when I started to ask trusted colleagues for their thoughts and started to read beyond the headlines. I now differ from you in that I believe governments are a lot less on top of the science than we thought, and seem to misunderstand its purpose, which to me as a scientist is a very upsetting and uncomfortable position to find myself living under. This video [1] makes in my view a good attempt at trying to explain how this all got the way it did, without invoking conspiracy. Worth a watch for anyone with an open mind. Even if you disagree with its conclusions, it's good to understand the arguments of the other side, we're not all loonies.
