This was my experience as well. I inherited a codebase of very simple, well-written Go. Anytime I needed to go to the source to find out how the business logic was implemented, I ended up scrolling... and scrolling... and scrolling... collecting the information bit by bit like a scavenger hunt.

Go seems like it would be great for motivating someone to figure out the simplest possible way of solving a computing problem. Unfortunately for software development (but fortunately for humanity) not all problems allow engineers the freedom to brutally simplify the solution. Many domains come with hundreds of rules and exceptions that were all added for nontechnical, human-driven reasons, and your company probably does not have the power to throw out all existing business practices, human expectations, and regulatory requirements in your domain and replace them with something simple to implement. You just have to suck it up and implement the requirements in the most programmer-friendly way you can, and Go doesn't offer very good tools for that.

Admittedly, Go sets a higher floor than more expressive languages. A smart programmer with poor judgment can do a lot worse in Java or Scala than they could in Go. But Go's ceiling isn't much higher than its floor.
I disagree. I strongly think the justice system should be first and foremost protecting victims and not exposing them to more harm.

That would encourage victims to not bring wrongdoings to trial in fear of their personal info being exposed.

If someone is convicted, then yeah, go ahead and put them on a sex offender registry with their address. Loss of privacy is a consequence of their actions. That's justice.

But goddamn no don't put the victim's address in public view.
I also strongly prefer a bottom taskbar on my laptop.
The weirdest thing about the always-on icon grouping is the (lack of?) design rationale behind it. What's the point of saving space in the taskbar? There's no content of any kind there and modern displays typically have ample horizontal space.
Its like a platform for platforms but on the cloud yes?
For a writing machine, it would be preferable to keep it offline so security issues wouldn't matter.
> Am I the only one who really enjoys Windows 11 so far?

Probably not, but consider that people have a lot of different use cases for their computer and a lot of different priorities and Microsoft has been pretty consistent lately about ignoring pretty much any of them that aren't "I really wish my desktop were a clunky tablet".

> I really like the new UI which feels more modern and harmonic

Subjective, but feeling more modern is precisely the opposite of what I want in a UI. Modern means slow and cumbersome with lots of wasted space, sparse options, and unreadable widgets.

> Control Panel is still in there somewhere but why should I care?

Control Panel had nothing wrong with it and probably still has settings options that are missing from the new ones?

> new GPU accelerated Terminal is really nice

It's performance is remarkably terrible for something that's GPU accelerated. Casey Muratori has said a lot about it. https://github.com/cmuratori/termbench and https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm were a result. It doesn't mean a lot in terms of quality of Windows 11, I just think it is a good illustration of modern Windows team's development practices.

> Does it have tons of telemetry, cruft from 20 years in the kernel and some rough edges?

Cruft is fine because it is there for backwards compat, which is huge for a tone of desktop use cases. Linux Kernel has a ton of cruft too for the same reason. Telemetry is bullshit and wastes my computer's resources to effectively spy on me.

> Is the hardware requirements a bit ridiculous?

The hardware requirements are very ridiculous. Windows 11 is not revolutionary, but somehow manages to require twice the minimum specs of ten in some metrics, and a TPM module.

> To each their own I guess but it sometimes feels a bit depressing how HN crowd trashes every OS.

They all have problems, big problems, so they all deserve it. I find it more remarkable that people consistently try to say that everything is actually ok!

> Is everyone here still using C64, Windows 2000 or OS9 because it „was the last good system“?

God I wish they were still viable.
Does anyone else notice a lag in opening windows terminal compared to powershell? I see it in this demo as well.
How does this actually work? Where can I learn more about the indexing and searching?
I buy a lot of black 100% polyester t-shirts for this reason. They don't need to be ironed and I don't have to decide what I'm wearing for the day.
That's splitting hairs. They do do that, exactly by imposing restrictions on distribution.

Your argument is: "You're free to write an app for yourself, but Apple isn't restricting you from using private APIs, they're restricting you from distributing it using their resources, oh and they're blocking any alternative distribution methods, too."
If your hard-to-reach server can connect to the internet (via a bunch of NATs and whatnot), you can just make it access your box of choice by e.g. Wireguard, or plain SSH with port-forwaring, or attach it as a node to your ZeroTier private network.

You only need a bunch of jump hosts if your target server has no Internet connectivity, and should not, in which case all these levels of bastions do make sense.
the whole misadventure into consumer electronics has a been a disaster.
The irony is that there's no actual difference between a fake NFT (token pointed to a URL) and a real one (token pointed to the same URL).

In this case, the authenticity seems to be tied to whether the artist said this is real or not.

I wouldn't be surprised if this were a performance art stunt designed to show how unbelievably gullible NFT buyers are.

Yup, there's plenty of ML architectures that try to save on parameters size, achieving better generalization (less overfitting) at the expense of slightly costlier training and inference. The memory constraints on Tesla Dojo might not be a big deal after all.

Apple isn't doing anything that's incompatible with X3D. In fact, they didn't even specify which kinds of models they would accept (there's a `type` on the <source> elements). You could easily point one of those at an X3D file.

Sure, you could put an <X3D> tag into a HTML document, but there's no `<img>` equivalent (like you can use with SVG) to load that content from another URI. When dealing with extremely large (byte-wise) or complex shapes, having the option to load that data separately (or in a more efficient binary format) is obviously desirable.
I've seen a lot of people have a hard time with the difference between GB and Gb, so I'm always happy to explain.

In this case there's no possible confusion, but I figure it can't hurt to know which is which =)

> Even if you have already gotten covid you get better immunity with a very safe vaccination + infection

This has been very sparsely studied (recovered individuals were excluded from the clinical trials) and is not as straightforward as you make it sound. At least one study has already suggested that cellular immune response may be eroded by a second dose of the mRNA vaccines.

It’s not that they don’t need more money, it’s that, in my opinion, they also shouldn’t be forced to operate on razor-thin margins. What is an acceptable profit margin? There’s no clear answer so you’d be reliant on a judge or congress to determine that.
Person A consents voluntarily to Person B to take large sum of money in exchange for concussion/negative health effects on their own body (which I presume we agree they own their own body including the ability to risk it).

What business is it to anyone else, least of all the government?
Right. So that's the perfect minimum for Windows. The amount of 2GB Chromebook models for sale is very tiny and likely all old models.
One very important thing not mentioned is that the tor exit node could be capturing your traffic or do a MITM attack. Its a great idea for testing but only after you have encryption working, and of course pay special attention to your ssh fingerprints.
Humans have an innate ability to eat until they're full. However, due to food choices, the amount of calories eaten before feeling sated can be highly variable. Modern processed food is far more calorie dense than our bodies "fullness" sensors are able to process, like a laser pointer with a cat. Some cats can't help themselves and lose their shit over them. Others can't be bothered.
I don't think you're getting the difference between possible & clean for programmers, vs. easy & straightforward for the target market. Most non-engineers don't want to spend time learning and tweaking this stuff, they want to work on the analysis, domain problem, and later, sharing it with others, not spending hours learning & debugging development & UI stuff. That's time away from their actual work & their families.

Ex: It took me awhile to appreciate StreamLit's builtin layout: it largely eliminates "HTML-in-Python", so one less thing. Likewise, decorators are weird magic, so yet another educational hurdle. If a tool could do excel -> dashboard, most would rather that! While I love that stuff, and I can recommend it to coders, I've learned to not recommend it to teams that can't guarantee everyone is... which is most. It sounds like Panel is slowly reinventing StreamLit, but as StreamLit isn't even there yet, for most corporate use, I'd be trying to do much more than catchup on this specific aspect if you want it to be relevant here.

Fun story: a PhD friend for a much-lauded company on HN led a team of ~20 analysts. About ~2 people loved Python, and the rest would write pages of SQL to avoid it.

The Satoshi Nakamoto emails were compromised in 2013 & available on the dark web & that was when the Faketoshi saga took form. Too bad these are the elements we all have to deal with years later.

Bitcoin was formed in C then translated to C++. Too bad for Crack that he has only began to realize that Satoshi Nakamoto is a group with wide reach and several people.

The last time I needed an x-ray for a broken bone, I asked the x-ray tech for a lead vest to protect my torso and groin area.

He told me that it was pointless because I would be exposed to more background radiation throughout the course of my normal life. He did not understand that ionizing radiation damage is cumulative and that there is no safe limit for exposure. Annoyed with my request, he gave me the vest anyway.

Is there a safe limit for exposure to PFAs? I would readily concede that the risk to an individual is probably negligible, but like in the case of x-rays, population-level risks probably do exist for even the smallest exposure.

That said, I would also support eliminating all sources of PFAs, just like we tried to do with CFCs and asbestos.
Struggle and resilience: Lessons from the class of 2021
at our lab the tor traffic would be noticed by the cyber security group's ids and all traffic from your host would start dropping at the border so fast your head would spin. you'd get an unpleasant phone call or visit to your office and be warned never to try side stepping the bastion ssh hosts that log all the things ever again.

NFTs can't embed proof that they were created by anyone.

That's the core problem with all crypto: it can prove on-chain, digital events, but it can't prove anything in the real world.

I can prove you owned an NFT and that I own it now, but I can't prove anything about that NFT's connection to the real, human world.

Similarly, I can make a smart contract that says you have to give me 50% of your income, but I can't enforce it outside of the chain that the contract was deployed on. If someone pays you with a different currency, the contract immediately fails to enforce itself.
Nah, they get paid to have the box in their pocket, you pay to have your box in your pocket.
I don't think everyone agrees that growth is a problem. Is the way our societies are organized and it is very difficult to reason against it.

Another aspect that western societies have difficulty to reason about is to think in negative terms. Nassim Taleb calls this “Via Negativa”. We normally think about solving problems by doing things (adding), but we can also solve the same problems by avoiding doing harm (subtracting). But avoiding doing harm normally doesn't make a profit, it doesn't contribute to growth.

Health is a perfect example of this, most of the modern diseases could be preventable by eating less, sleeping more, and having a less stressful life.
Electron apps are fine for Niels Leenheer, but they aren't fine for me. They don't solve any of my problems, at least not at home. I don't use social apps like Slack or Discord because I don't trust them and prefer IRC. I don't use Atom or VS Code because I prefer Emacs for coding and vim for sysadmin stuff.

None of the apps listed at https://www.electronjs.org/apps do anything I care about, but if they work for you then more power to you.
Big game changer that, right-click what is bothering you and choose "Block element", then drag sliders to get it perfect. Done.
They fly in helicopters and can shoot that many in a day. Its usually very large areas (thousands of acres) with a surrounding game fence. Since the hogs have no natural predators they have to be removed somehow and this is one common route. Vastly different scenario then a small 50 acre place.
Is that part of Cloudflare Teams? No offense to Cloudflare, but their pricing is really unclear. I have an account and I use them for a lot, but they have 3 different "plans" and then they have various ad-hoc products. Tunnel just says "view in dashboard." [0] If I click on that link while logged in, I'm taken to my dashboard with no indication of how to use Tunnel or anything. The plans page [1] indicates that it's part of argo smart routing. If I click on "activate argo" it actually does the exact same thing as the teams "view in dashboard" button -- it redirects me to the dashboard and has no indication of being activated or anything. Really frustrating.

I'm not so sure about that. Obviously pro cyclists aren't purposely crashing but the nature of the sport is to put yourself in extremely dangerous situations on a regular basis. Descending at 60+ mph on narrow, wet roads. Sprints where they are riding in excess of 35ph in VERY close quarters with other riders, etc. Not to mention the long term health consequences of maintaining an extremely low body fat percentage for long periods of time.

The parent is being downvoted for a "what about X?" response but I think it is actually a legitimate question to ask. Almost every elite sport carries with it serious health and safety risks.

But to counter their concern I would argue that elite sports almost always carry health risks, may amateur sports do not and are broadly beneficial. Contact sports such as American Football, Rugby, etc however are in a different class where the amateur athletes are also putting themselves at significant risk.
With regards to modernity, I think specifically we are in a time where it is both much easier to not have a child, while also much more difficult to raise a child because of relative economic and social pressures of this period. My peer group mostly mirrors yours in that all but one are childless, with most not looking to have children at all.

There are many birth control options and views on abortion have changed significantly as well as education which has improved, which means much fewer people keep unplanned pregnancies. Simultaneously, working and middle classes in western developed nations have continuously been squeezed within our the lifetimes of people who should be settling down, 2 severe economic contractions combined with the pandemic on top of preexisting job, wage and other social insecurities makes the financial and social burden of having a child much more difficult to bear.
I am pretty well convinced that the use of telemetry has had a net-negative effect on software development. Not that the use of telemetry data is inherently bad, but that so many companies appear to use it nearly exclusively, and tend to draw conclusions from it that are questionable.
I think there might be a 4th option, which is that users are trained that clicking on anything other than links will result in pain. Clicking a dialog you didn't read may take you to another page and ask you to enter information. Or it may opt you in to something you don't want or need. It's just a needless distraction. This gets back to what I was saying about "cookie consent" dialogs a few weeks ago. I never click on them. I usually read in Reader view to not even see them. If I can't get the content without clicking something additional, I simply press the back button.
I guess that people interested in gaming will want to play more than a single, decade-old, game.

Windows 8 tried to isolate Win32 to a delayed loading sub-system and got lambasted for it. Admittedly, they hit the rough part of the chicken and egg gamble where they didn't have enough apps in the new/fresh/modern side with less compatibility cruft for enough people to see why it was worth it to delay load Win32.

Still a lot of reason to wonder if they had found a way to deliver the UWP platform earlier to Windows 7 ahead of 8's launch and got more applications up front of the transition if that attempt might have gone much smoother.
Well, teflon is a "forever chemical" (PFAS) and the consensus seems to be it's not wonderful if it gets inside of you [1].

Silicone is a PFAS alternative and a little safer, but also not wonderful if it gets inside of you [2].

All of which is to say that your device should be OK as long as no one puts it inside them. AFAIK anyway.

Yea, there's always been a little bit more delay. The problem with comparing the Terminal to conhost (the vintage console) is that conhost was _nothing_. It was a dead simple window that drew to a GDI surface. There was basically no other UI to initialize.

With the Terminal, we've got to instantiate a XAML Island to host the WinUI content. That's unfortunately not as lightweight as _instantiating absolutely nothing_. It's something we're working with the WinUI team with pretty aggressively, because it impacts everyone who wants to use WinUI.
Intel's tech is being discontinued, and Tesla didn't use it except for perhaps some internal testing cars.
I think that you are correct in most cases, people choose nonstick for the easy cleanup afterwards. But that's not what I'm referring to. I have not found a pan, other than PTFE coated, which can fry rice to crispy without using excessive tons of oil. All of the best crispy rice will get stuck to the pan and become inedible.

Many of those booleans aren't necessarily named.

Any "is(n't) null" check on a nullable includes a boolean expression. That's quite a few booleans right there.

Using an optional (and accessing it with either fmap or a match expression) removes the value from the scope of the "wasn't present" branch, eliminating a possible source of mistakes.

Using an optional with an isPresent test does not. And you see that boolean pop up again in the return of that method. I think that's what they're getting at.

No. The applications here were vastly different.
Before Banksy became incredibly popular he made a name for himself in the graf scene. I remember Banksy from the mid 2000s and he was just another cool artist doing interesting things with stencils. For me he was in the same category as France's space invaders, or the guys in Spain (gemeos?) making giant paintings of odd-looking humans. Sometime in the early 2010s Banksy ramped up publicity stunts, and at that point I think Banksy became a collective of artists. Long story short I think Banksy was a person, but probably not anymore.
Many, many countries have never had internal borders and checkpoints.
The premise is somewhat flawed. We _can_ recognize different sounds. Almost anybody can say "That was a violin" or "That was a female voice" or "That was a guitar" with basic training.

Being able to determine exact pitch is more like being able to determine exact rgb values of a color.

What is interesting about this study is that Perfect Pitch folks still only have 77% accuracy with pure sine waves. Compared to 98% accuracy with full-timbre piano notes. I have to wonder if this is just a matter of practice and exposure or if there is something deeper there.
