Go to their github issues and have fun reading through them.

Basically Microsoft had to rampup Windows Forms and WPF teams (most likely ramped down to maintenance modus), as otherwise many companies would just ignore .NET Core.

The designers, which were redone to be out of process in .NET 5, still have lots of issues.

Basically, the future is UWP/WinUI, but just like with VB 6, there are plenty of big shot customers that want their apps to keep running and aren't open to rewrites.

And in what concerns WinUI, MAUI is being built on top of WinUI (with incompatible XAML) and then there is Blazor.

Plenty of political wars going on currently in Redmond UI teams.
For SQLite seems reasonable? I remember it advertised as ini file replacement as well :)

> Today, young English speakers are trying to popularize "they" as an English neuter pronoun, and it's not too absurd: we already use "they" this way when the gender of the person is unknown.

I can understand why 'they' is chosen as a way to introduce neutrality of gender but it pains me that this also introduces of ambiguity of plurality. We _really_ need a gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun. We're lucky that our first and second-person pronouns and our plural pronouns by fluke of language evolution just happen to already be gender neutral. It's just this last one -- third-person singular -- that is causing all this discussion, political fights, and newspaper column inches. It seems absurd to me when we could just call each other ze/zim (or whatever, the actual word doesn't really matter) and call it a day. If it turns out that the only way we can shut up about pronouns is to sacrifice 'they', then I guess that's an acceptable loss. But it does feel like all we need is a tiny tweak of the language to iron out this wrinkle by introducing something new (or taking one from another language, if that's more palatable).

It could be really interesting if any of the up and coming arm processors could be made to reliable work in big-endian mode. There is some custom kernels floating around that uses the Raspberry Pi in BE-mode.
Now change that a little bit. And imagine that you're renting this place. And that's not a police requirement, but home owner requirement who wants to prevent undesirable behaviour to protect everyone (or so he says).

That would be a better analogy. You don't own your iPhone at all. You own few dozens of grams of steel, glass and silicone. You don't even own parts of it, they're sealed, DRMed and non-functional without proprietary firmware. And of course you hardly own the entire device, as you can't control software which runs on it.

Don't pretend that you own a house.
No comments I can see there seem to address VPNs; one notes that if you DNS block one of their domains, they connect via IP. But there's no discussion of VPN tunnels. I made sure to view all comments. Do you think you could forward a link that makes that claim?

Unless you just mean that sending data over plain HTTP to these servers is in some sense a VPN tunnel because the resulting servers could forward it elsewhere?
> But aren't neo Nazi's fringe and rarer than wokies?

Depends on your definition. They may be rare if you only include self-identified Nazis. However, if you expand that to include members of the Far Right and general White Surpemacists then they're not only not fringe but they become as mainstream as Hannity, Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon and all of the Q-anon grifters.

White supremacists -as in people who believe most of the same thing as actual literal nazis, are by no means rare these days.

But if you mean people traipsing around in black SS uniforms then sure yeah those guys are rare, sure.
Or maybe go back to the ambitious application and take a fresh run up at it. Maybe first identify one or two aspects you struggled with most and brush up on those, the Crust of Rust series does some nice worked examples, live but recorded of some harder to grasp features: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbS7AVVErFiWDOAVrPt7...

Still, even if Rust is "much more serious" there are coherency problems right at the heart of what we do still in programming computers. Notice that some vital elements of the core of Rust are basically hand-waved, for example the details of how Memory works. Other "serious" languages like C hand-wave this stuff too, typically describing a non-existent abstract machine and saying your program will perform as if on that machine, which is fine right up until your low-level code could not exist on such a hypothetical machine and instead very much depends on the details of the real machine the program runs on.
That article goes directly from people complaining about discrimination to Mao's Great Leap Forward, but it seems like wanting to be treated with a reasonable level of dignity at work is unlike causing a major famine that kills millions of people. Politics leads to ideological thinking which generates mostly garbage.
Yeah, it was b/w Feedly and Inoreader for me. Went for Inoreader kinda randomly. Because I only use it as a backend, it doesn't seem like I need too many features.

How would that make conversations impossible to have? Just talk to the reactionary right-wingers about what they see as the liberal moral agenda.

The influence exerted is usually orthogonal to the traditional goal of improving the conditions of the working class. Instead identity politics focuses on a platform of "more POC female dictators" rather than one that actually fights to make a material difference in people's lives.

It also destroys any form of class consciousness, replacing it with one based on race. The white middle class get the catharsis of flagellating themselves but the people struggling to pay rent or working two jobs are understandably defensive when you try to tell them how privileged they are.

You can either have privacy or surveillance, Apple is trying to sell the idea you can have both which is a false statement.

Since Apple have been pushing privacy as a differentiator with Android, i can see their problem when they also want surveillance.

The answer is simple: Drop all plans for surveillance also known as on-device scanning.
> practical definition of "left" and "right" is "no hierarchy" vs "hierarchy"

Absolutely not: it's the left that's usually the favor of giving more power to the most oppressive and monopolic hierarchy there is, the government, while the right is fighting to dismantle it.
I agree. The author obviously considers "wokeness" stupid as hell, but hides with the thinnest veneer of neutrality.
Yup. The truth is these copyright holders are nothing but rent seekers. They've created successful works, made their money. When it's our turn to reap the benefits via public domain? They won't accept it. They change the rules of the game instead. They move the goalposts. They lobby the government until copyright duration is functionally infinite because god forbid mickey mouse enters the public domain.

Why respect their rights when they don't respect ours? Copyright only works because we pretend their works are artificially scarce. Let's stop pretending.
Pretty disappointing story. I would've thought popular culture had developed beyond this kind of saccharine overdose of incestual tension.
Actually I got into the OPNsense documentation tonight, I think what I'm looking to do will be even easier than I imagined with it acting both as my local server and routing traffic to the mullvad interface... e.g. with my current local wireguard server retired. This networking stuff is crazy hard, I'd rather have a proper solution with good documention than what I was trying to do on a machine that has its own complocated local networks for libvirt and other stuff that I just kind of use without fully understanding.

No, the parent said that the numbers of trans people have increased. That's not true. The numbers of trans people able to get treatment is the thing that increased. We went from not counting, to counting. So we didn't increase the number of trans people, we just started counting the trans people that always existed.
> Critical race theory is a mythic story -

No, its not.

Though there is a mythic anti-”Critical Race Theory” story created by the American Right, and the thing within it called “Critical Race Theory” is a (particularly incoherent, because a number of unrelated and opposing things from the real world that share only that they concern race, and they are disliked by the American Right, and they are not actually Critical Race Theory, are jammed into it) mythic story.

> These stories are lenses through which you can describe the world. They’re like software for the mind. And like software, they aren’t objectively right or objectively wrong.

Actual critical race theory (like critical legal studies, from which it stems) holds the existence of objective features of social structures, with tangible, material, effects.

Like many hypothesized social phenomenon, the complexity of the systems involved may make falsification difficult on a practical level, but the claims it makes are fact claims which are objectively true or false.
How is the Ai coming to this conclusion? Just curious.
What a disrespectful take - the Nazis (and Freikorps before them) murdered socialists and communists from the Spartacist League, SPD, KPD, etc.

They sent trade unionists and Esperantists to concentration camps, because they were also deemed to be leftists.

I agree. In fact I think that their religion would only serve to exacerbate things since (unless I'm very wrong) Russians are largely Orthodox Catholics and these people are largely protestant and evangelical

Most (all?) cheap SDR don’t get close to the WiFi range. RTL2832U have one of the best price/range ratios and can detect 24-1766MHz and cost under $20.

LimeSDR is probably one of the better choices and cost $199 without casing as $299 with. I have been waiting for my LimeSDR close to one year now because of the shortage of chips.

You don’t get the raw data (SDR) on Mac like microwave and bluetooth, but you get all WiFi related data. Also broken packages and from other senders.
That book relies on the concept of ROGD, which is something that doesn't exist. Anybody pushing ROGD, or supporting other people who push ROGD, is anti-science and anti-fact.

You should consider why you feel comfortable pushing something that's obviously bollocks, just because it supports your anti-trans activism.

Depending on how much your surroundings insist on putting labels and associated limitations based on what is between your legs on you during growing up; the puberty experience of one half of society can be more awful. This may also get reflected in current numbers of transmen vs transwomen. A transition is an extreme decision taken based on an unbearable amount of such psychological pain.

Wondering what started the labeling too though, I’ve also been teached the value of individualism and fended off any label applied to me.. maybe it’s about realizing that most people out there want to apply labels, so a response to their rigid labels is coming up with unlimited new labels.
There was a thread recently, where some people mentioned confers about the limesdr[0].

I'm a Googler working on something else, but I think the rough process will be the same:

1. Product management decides which audiences should get special attention.

2. UX researchers get hold of a number of users matching those audiences. Interview them what are their pain points with the product and observe them stumble through a bunch of critical journeys.

3. UX designers design how that should go instead.

4. Eng (including UI) design how to make that happen.

5. The design doc goes through approvals from all the above, but also legal, security, privacy and other stakeholders.

After that, it's a simple matter of programming.
It's called recuperation and it doesn't even require nefarious intent.

These days anti-capitalism is literally sold as a commodity. Anti-consumerism has become a consumer identity. While this helps deradicalization by diverting the radical energy away from actual causes towards consumption, it also tends to make a good profit.

The problem isn't the worldviews. The problem is that you can't fight capitalism through consumption. You can't fight hierarchies by acting within the system of hierarchy, you have to step outside.

As an example, the Black Panthers (not the Marvel movie) not only offered social programs and free food in Black communities, they also built coalitions with other racial groups who tried to do the same in their communities. While at a glance acting only within their racial lines (i.e. racial identity politics) they actively worked against racial division through mutual solidarity.

Solidarity across divisions is important, but it can only work if you acknowledge the existence of the divisions and the power imbalances these divisions reinforce.

As an example in the negative, unions in the early 20th century US often failed because they rejected Black workers who then had no other economical option but to become scabs when white unionized workers went on strike (because they didn't get any of the union benefits and had no union covering their backs if they had joined the strike).

There's a widespread misconception these days that "left solidarity" means that all members of "the left" have to be equally "woke". They all have to believe in exactly the one leftist ideology you think is best, they all have to treat all marginalized groups exactly the way you think they must be treated and so on. This is where the leftist memes of the circular firing squad and purity spirals come from. THIS is harmful and divisive.

However the answer is not to "not be woke". The answer is to better embrace pragmatic alliances and understand that you can have a shared struggle even if it doesn't perfectly overlap. There's a place for close-nit communities but "the left" is not a clubhouse.

As another final example, there's a famous incident in the UK (recently portrayed in the movie "Pride") where gay activists joined striking coal miners because both groups were facing violent opposition from the police. The collaboration helped foster class consciousness in the gay activists and queer acceptance among the coal miners. They didn't become one cohesive ideologically perfect group but their solidarity made them more powerful in their shared struggle than either group would have been on their own.
US undoubtedly forces Apple to hand over everything and anything they want. It's not fine, but I feel like we have no say over it anyway. Apple announcing publicly that they will scan your photos is something they chose to do, and the law doesn't require them to so this in their implementation of iCloud.
And let’s be honest:
The “satanic panic” had no basis in fact. The idea that role playing gamers were going to do actual magic (or even think they were doing magic) is clearly nonsense.

But if you use human ethnicities as the basis for your games monsters… yeah, that’s a real problem.

It doesn’t mean you have to ban D&D, but it does mean it should address those issues.

Same with rock music. I don’t care if bands write about demons and wizards, but maybe try not to objectify women so much.
Ask HN: How much does a resume gap affect getting a new job?
I've been working as a software developer for about 5 years, starting right out of college. The most recent two years were with a FAANG company. I did well there, and I mostly enjoyed the work, until around March 2019, when covid hit and we were sent home. About six months ago, the burnout got intense enough that I decided to just leave the company and take an indefinite break from working.

Since then I've been spending a decent amount of my time working on my own software passion projects, as well as doing semi-regular leetcode/hackerrank problems to stay on my toes.

I now feel I'm ready to get back into the grind again, but am worried about having a ~6 month gap in my resume. I'm wondering, for people who might have related experience as an interviewee or interviewer, should I be worried about that gap? If so, is burnout an acceptable excuse for such a gap? I really believe it's done wonders for my mental health, but I'm concerned it might make me appear to be a lesser candidate.
This is happening with Extinction Rebellion in the UK now. The Home Secretary is using the police to harass groups she disagrees with and changing the law to stop protests she doesn’t like. I think having “infinite surveillance” with someone like this in charge is a terrifying idea.
I don't really see the big issue with Latinx... it seems to me an easy and correct way to refer to latinos and latinas, without saying both, or one or the other, or bringing in gender.

Just like we don't have Asianas and Asianos, and we can simply say Asians. It makes less sense to add an s to Latin because Latins refers to something completely different already.

Language is constantly changing. As long as references aren't derogatory and have linguistic purpose (either due to being academically useful to be precise, concise or general, or because they're useful in colloquial speak and new words create a sense of identity), I don't see the big issue. We obviously speak very differently from 50, 100 or 200 years ago, and I'm glad for it for the most part. Not sure why we're so resistant to this particular change.

Removing acronyms because they're racist is obviously silly. But simplifying language is not. Instead of calling the Arts Department 'VAPA' (after Visual and Performing Arts) it's now simply called the 'Arts Department'. That means it should be more easily understood, and more accessible by students or parents who're not privy to navigating school systems to get their kids the best outcomes. We consistently see that certain parents are able to get their kids in the right programs, while other parents are not, and some of that relates to cultural capital which has been well studied. Acronyms probably play an extremely minor role in this cultural capital, but I don't see it as a bad move per se. (calling it racist, is)

Those were two of the key examples the article started with to explain how bad things have gotten, before jumping in how we got to this ostensibly miserable place.

There's some good stuff in the article - particularly around some hypocritical corporate wokeness in the 2nd half of the article - but mostly it comes across as very partisan, completely unwilling to assess the other sides' argument in good faith, and written to convince you of a particular viewpoint. Doesn't seem to fit into what I'm used to from the Economist.
> What’s absolutely crazy to me is how long the terms are.

Yes. Intellectual property is imaginary property, based on the lie of artificial scarcity. We could easily tolerate this arrangement though if the terms were reasonable enough. After a while, the works would enter the public domain and things would be as they should be. Seems like a small sacrifice in order to ensure creators can be rewarded via the familiar product sales model.

Unfortunately, these intellectual property holders turned out to be rent seekers. They create successful works, make their money. When it's our turn to reap the public domain benefits? They refuse to allow it. They lobby the governments for extensions. Copyright durations are functionally infinite. They want to extract value out of their imaginary property forever.

Can't remember the last time a movie I watched entered the public domain. Don't think I'm ever going to see it within my lifetime. They don't respect our public domain rights. Why should we respect their imaginary property? Let's stop pretending their products are artificially scarce because they aren't. Everything is public domain.
