So, you are complaining that they had immigrants working for them? They are part of the EU free movement region, so that is hardly surprising. Immigrants on the payroll don't change whether or not a company is Swiss.

Were they inside the country? Were also they subject to Swiss laws? Aren't these the things that would make a company Swiss? Even if the company was started by a person that isn't Swiss, I'm pretty sure it is still a Swiss company if it is initially located in Switzerland and governed by Swiss laws.
Importmaps in Rails and Esbuild for Rails
Kinda, yes, but at the same time, servers here on earth have moved away from (expensive) ECC in favor of resilient software, disconnected services (job queue based) and redundancy. Cheaper to have a dozen computers that sometimes break than three with lower risk (but they still break).
I have used Amethyst and it works alright but is still a long way from i3 or dwm. Mostly because dealing with different virtual desktops (Spaces) is quite janky as it isn't managed by the wm but automating macOS in ways it wasn't designed to be automated.

> 3. They can always take things off the word list! And the likelihood that something remains on the list is probably correlated with how actually offensive it is, which means you may not want it in your code.

The other ponts are valid, but if your use of the word is for a technical reason (i.e. to block Copilot) and well documented then why should it be a problem that it could be offensive to some in another context?
I'm really surprised you don't see the inverter and the motors closer coupled in Tesla's designs.

For example, by having MOSFETs spliced into the wire wound onto the stator. That minimises wire length (and therefore resistance). The heavy motor windings are a great heatsink for brief acceleration, and both will need liquid cooling for prolonged 100 mph driving up a hill.

No, but it's culture-building. "Everything goes" seldom builds any great appreciation, it just makes everything a big interchangeable blob.

Well, that's not some natural law. It's just an expression of a specific cultural norm.

Then, pray tell, what does? It is the assumption that these services are used that turns them into important infrastructure.

Everyone just assumes you have a bank account or a telephone, and that makes both bank accounts and telephones desirable, we wouldn't invest ungodly amounts of money in infrastructure on roads, traffic lights etc if automobiles weren't popular and they surely wouldn't be if we didn't have the infrastructure.

I think a good hedge against the web becoming more and more bureaucratic is to invest in the internet giants like Google and Facebook.

It is such a tailwind for them.

Every piece of regulation you have to comply with gives them an edge over the competition.

Implementing cookie banners or an age verification system costs you the same if you have 1000 users or 1000 million users.

So on a per user basis, these annoyances are a million times cheaper to master for the giants than for a startup.
RoboCop and Starship Troopers are both far headier movies than what a lot of arthouse snobs would consider high art. And they actually made money!

You can deliver a quality film with a substantive plot while still making an action movie for the masses.

I'm just as into film as you are, if not possibly more so, but please just fuck off with your snobbish anti-Hollywood nonsense. Most of Europe's actors, directors, & what-have-you all work in Hollywood from time to time to eat.

Shit, while we're on the topic of Paul Verhoeven, the guy made the most successful (most seen) film in the history of Dutch cinema (1973's Turkish Delight) and put Rutger Hauer on the map with it. And did it again later with The Fourth Man (loosely remade later as Basic Instinct) which was a global hit and the most financially successful film made in the Netherlands.
That's an interesting point, but I'd contend there is a difference between scanning for known virus patterns vs. feeding your email into ML algorithms to do God knows what with.

For context the government is also proposing:

There is multi-pronged attack underway which is in no way hyperbole.
Plenty of deployments will continue to be on-prem, cloud is not perfect for 100% of use cases.

It's the irony of the push for more efficiency. In theory you could have the equivalent of a 90's PC now with a fraction of the power consumption, but in practice any gain is used to create more powerful chips and do more calculations. There's a saying that was more about financial budgets, but tl;dr expenses will fill up the budget.

In my country there's irony as well. On the one side, power companies and the government invest a lot in green power production, offshore windmill farms and solar farms and the like. But at the same time, companies like Microsoft and Google come in and have datacenters built that use up all the energy that those 'green' alternatives produce. We would've been carbon neutral years ago if it wasn't for the increase in power consumption that follows production.
This is incredibly true.

Homes don't even need to be that small. Buying a chunk of land with enough trees to build a home is <$5k, if you're willing to live in the middle of nowhere.

You need the equivalent of a Ph.D in zoning, permitting, and municipal regulations to do that, though.

And if each high school class, as a year-long class project, build a home, I think my kid would get a better education and we'd have more homes.

Plus, most people need to bring in specialists to do all the maintenance because we have no idea how our homes work. I'd like to run ethernet in my house, and I have no idea what's inside my walls, how to get in there, or how not to break things. That's embarrassing.
> HN after Trump was banned…

Odd, that wasn’t my experience at all on HN. It seemed most people agreed that he should have been banned a lot sooner for being incredibly rude and racist. If anything the consensus at the time seemed to be Facebook and Twitter were cowards and wrong in that they only took action when it was free of consequences.

I’m curious to know why you felt the need to post as you did though. What were you hoping to achieve? On one hand what you wrote is a strawman argument that’s rather unrelated to the topic, on the other hand, even if we pretend that you were correct and the entire community on HN was as you lay it out here, then why on earth would you come here?

I hope you stay, however, but I think it would be good for you to stop judging people as groups. Every political thread on HN is full of different opinions and they aren’t all coming from the same people. We’re not a “hivemind” by any means. I’m Danish as an example, your mentioning Trump may just be the first time I have heard about him since Biden took office. I’m not sure where I would fit in your “HN” category, but I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t put me in the same box if you ever met me. It must be so hard and frustrating to think an entire community that you are part of is full of hypocrites instead of just full of interesting people. It shouldn’t be a negative experience to browse a social medium such as HN and if you find that it is, well, I would personally take a break, and I often do.
This has nothing to do with "weakening of ECC". Dual_EC_DRBG is an RNG that happens to use Elliptic Curves but its problems have nothing to do with that, they have to do with the design of the RNG itself. And those problems don't say anything about the strength of ECC used for encryption and digital signatures.
A lot of science today is basically parallel construction.

You start with a sexy story that you know will get you a lot of press, like "promising you will be honest actually makes you behave in an honest way" and then you just make that paper happen, however you can.

Under the publish or perish system, scientists don't have time to actually research the topic, and imagine if it fails to confirm - you just wasted a lot of time and didn't publish anything. Too risky, it's much easier to just fake it till you make it, especially since you know peer reviewers never ever will accuse you of fraud.

Any reviewer accusing a scientist of fraud will just be excluded from the community, since it's very important to uphold the narrative that "scientists are always honest, they never cheat like politicians, which is why we must always trust scientists and never question them".

> And it might even give us multi-day use out of our smart devices (phones, watches, etc.)

Not going to happen, they'll just find a way to use more power instead. You probably noticed that for years now, phones and the like have had a fixed battery lifetime of about a day of medium use, even though battery and chip technologies have improved. I'll admit that in terms of efficiency - performance per watt - things have increased, but the goal of the phone manufacturers is not to make things last longer, it's to min/max and find a balance between battery life and power.

With current day technology you can easily make a phone that lasts for a month on a single charge, but it'd be bulky compared to what you can do with it.

I switched from i3 to Sway a year ago on my work laptop. I was looking into using Sway (instead of KDE) on my personal laptop too, but have had to drop it as Sway lacks the ability to load color profiles. I calibrate my screens for photo editing with darktable, so this is a hard requirement, so I guess I'll have to go back to i3.

PostgreSQL and even things like SQLite are fantastic tools for programmers with time to invest in learning them an their quirks. What a modern database could do that they can't is be comprehensible to a power-user. Modelling and querying data could be far simpler than SQL makes it.

A modern database language/interface would be far more useful to most than general purpose programming languages are. We can do better for end-users than forcing them to grapple with archaic `SELECT` statements. The crowd that have invested in learning the language already will disagree, of course, but far too many newbies self-select out of that group because it seems too complicated to them. It doesn't have to be so.

This is an easy and naive view of Einstein. Would you argue the same for Newton? The truth is special relativity was going to be discovered soon regardless, general relativity was a leap that required a leader as unique as Einstein, Newton, Galileo.

Of course he had a lot of help from Hilbert. I don't consider collaborating on a discovery as grounds to dismiss a scientist as "not unique".
Sounds like a completely unbiased opinion.

I used to use Awesome. And I3 before that. My young adult son would sometimes ask to do something quick on my laptop. Hilarity ensued.

Now I'm a truck driver. Bought a new laptop awhile back. Don't have time to fiddle (drive, eat, sleep) so I left the default Mint desktop.

Right now I'm being unloaded at a distribution center in Alabama. They tell me it will be 5 to 6 hours until they're done. No labor on Labor Day, I guess.

So I'll install Regolith, based on a couple comments here, and see how that goes.

I actually kinda miss fiddling.
I saw first-hand how it comes to pass, from collaborating with NASA engineers years ago.

In order to ensure that a critical mission-goal is met, with, say, 95% confidence, every subcomponent must be much more reliable, as there will be many ways to fail. The net effect is that often the overall perceived reliability turns out to be much better than the requirement.

This is especially so for systems that have already achieved some measure of success, as a number of those subcomponents will have already done their jobs completely.

I3 is perfectly usable with a default config by the way, you are vastly overblowing the situation.
I'm going to nit this for several reasons:

1. Walking on the moon implied a return trip which requires an extra ~3km/s.

2. Under the rocket equation the fuel requirements for more delta v grows superlinearly, which then awkwardly makes your rocket bigger, which requires more fuel...

3. 22 years prior a metal can went to space. The scale of a manned moon mission in comparison is absolutely nuts, even basic things like having rocket motors that can be relit is a large technical challenge.

The AUTHORS of the original paper got a dataset from a company. They didn't assume the fraud from the start and published the paper based on it.

Later, when they tried to analyze the issue more in-depth, they couldn't replicate the results. THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS PUBLISHED a paper about a failure to replicate. It was just then that someone looked at the original data and found that it was faked.

I'm curious every post on podman had a very positive thread. We were kinda forced to use podman and while we enjoy rootless containers conceptually they have caused us a lot of issues. After every restart of a node when a user had pods running, said user will not be able to use podman. Often times, bugs can only be solved by completely resetting your user. It's also not as straightforward to configure as the documentatiom let's on.

Overall I don't have an opinion on the software, it's just confusing to me how much praise it receives?
Being able to self-host is a hard requirement for many organizations. Especially for tools like a wiki, which may contain proprietary/secret business information.

The last time we reviewed the Atlassian Cloud hosted products, they did not meet our security needs (requirements include isolated tenant from other customers, customer managed keys, etc) though they were much closer than a few years earlier. We also review the general security practices of the company (for example to make sure they implement a secure SDLC and follow other security best-practices).
