And so we should complain about everything and everyone then? Surely we can think of SOMETHING to always improve, right? Therefore everyone and everything must always be better!

That's a pretty toxic approach to things. That's like saying I as a person should always strive to be better, and it's not okay being who or what I am right now.

Edit update regarding above edit: My point was merely that always complaining is imo why so much negativity exists in the world. Nobody is happy with anything. Always something wrong / X Y Z doesn't satisfy me / Apple has a new HR person whose face I don't like so I will leave the whole ecosystem now / Touch ID sucks / Face ID sucks / Apple sucks.

I realize HN folk LOOOOVE complaining, and not being happy with anything, and perhaps that is an inherent feature of start-up founders, but would it kill you once think "You know what, this is alright!"?
I just learned about it here and tried it out on a small to medium-sized TypeScript React app. It worked right out of the gate! The original TypeScript files appeared in the Source browser. Time travel works. And the video replay too of course.

Really impressive. Will keep it around for sure to try debugging a real issue next time. Congrats on the launch and the great app!

Bryan Lunduke revisits this talk every year at linux conventions. Usually good observations.

BTW, he loves linux.
The charitable answer is to crowdsource the ordering of links and comments. The cynical answer is to amplify the echo chamber.

This is a long form video, maybe the title should be adjusted to inform that
If you're into this sort of stuff, there's a relatively new Youtube Channel where the creator puts an interesting subject under an electron microscope and talks about it. I find his videography & micrography aesthetically pleasing, and even relaxing.

>How it would have hurt to get a vaccine?

Notice how easy it is to conveniently jettison the science + data and just demand that people "tow the line or else.."
> now there are new long term releases faster than we can test them

Aren't they every 2-3 years?
You’re complaining about something that's verifiably wrong, tho. When people do post blatant misinformation I do post things along these lines, yes.
Much like Google's Fuchsia, FreeBSD is an alternative that has compatibility for Linux binaries.

You're making an assumption that they will negotiate your pay up, and not correct the under performers down, or do neither. More data is useful yes, but not on a per-employee basis. If the average for your position is higher, then yes, you can use that, but if it's an individual you're unlikely to get any difference for yourself, but could negatively impact them.
"They are not involved" seems like an understatement. Their recommendations are the backbone of all the vaccine policies.
And in all of these cases the app requesting your ID should come from the bank, the airline, etc. Not from some random 3rd party that I never heard of and have no reasons to trust.
BTW, created https://github.com/RecordReplay/devtools/issues/3619 to follow up on the logical or assignment as well. Should be fixed soon
It's not at all too early to place bets; if there is no good data showing that Ivermectin works, we should assume the null hypothesis, that it does nothing.

Otherwise we would have to maintain the same sort of equipose about literally ever possible substance - peanut butter could be an effective COVID treatment, until someone does a proper study, we just don't know.
They were the first to vaccinate, and because of the relatively first two shots being close together, a third booster is needed. They see good results from that. Studies show having the vaccines wider apart gives longer and stronger immune response.

I believe this effect is not exclusive to covid vaccines.
Saying Scrum in practice is
not true Agile is like saying Stalinism in practice is not true Communism.

Scrum is not true Agile, but Scrum is what happens when you mix average company incentives with the Agile dream.

The principals were good, the average company couldn't implement them, and it's time to improve on these ideals.

We've had 20 years to implement the Agile principals but average companies couldn't. There are systemic reasons why Agile can't be implemented in the average company as the manifesto dreamed. A new manifesto should make changes that reflect these systemic problems.
> The Michelin "Tweel" IP was actually acquired when Michelin bought BF Goodrich 31 years ago.

If thw core patent is 31 years old then that means it's been in the public domain for 11 years. Anyone should be able to make a variation thereof at this point - steering clear of other derivative patents of coarse.
I wish there were a TL;DR, a transcript, or something.

Yes, it's funny how there is a lot of fear about a country that attacked noone since the Korea War (and that didn't commit massacres during it unlike their opponent), especially when those people are from a country that have a carte blanche to attack other countries and do it on a regular basis.

NK rulers aren't idiots, they have access to the West (media and travel) and they know about the relative military strength and probably aren't to keen to have Democracy™ being forcefully implemented on them.
It went both ways too. When Amazon got pissed at Apple they blocked Apple TVs from being sold on Amazon.
So what's cutting edge? What are the Googles of the future using today?
A great example of class-justice by design.
The parent comment made a very clear point about a sportsman not following a vegan diet needing much less supplements, and relying on natural protein in their diet. Steroid use seem pretty much unrelated.

The US did not lose in Iraq and it didn't kill hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Iraq today is a free-standing nation, capable of charting their own path, courtesy of their significant oil revenues. The US is no longer required to prop them up and the US does not dictate their policies nor does it occupy the nation.

The civilian deaths you're referring to were the result of a civil war between the Iraqi people. They were killing each other. The long oppressed Shia majority and the Sunni minority. That's not uncommon throughout history, see: US, Russian, French civil wars, to name a few prominent examples. The US also butchered itself in a civil war, we were no better in our internal conflict. The French, British and other European powers were not morally responsible for those deaths, despite the elaborate roles the European empires played in helping to cause the US civil war (eg European slavery), as well as influencing or shaping the US colonies and infant US nation.

It took many decades for the US to organize itself properly after its founding, it was a very messy process. And even then, it ended up in a bloody civil war, before a greater degree of stability was achieved. Why should Iraq be held to the absurd expectation of instantaneous, miraculous stability so soon after regaining their independence from Saddam's dictatorship and then the chaotic US & allied forces occupation? Iraq is commonly treated quite unfairly in judgment when it comes to a political process that can take a long time under the best of circumstances; they're held to an unreasonable standard that just about no nation could live up to, especially given the context.
"Tens of seconds" versus "a few seconds" is quite different in this scenario.
I'm sorry to have wasted your time, that is a typo; somehow I lost the "no" in "no law".
Y'know, that's a good question. I'm not sure I know the answer.

My guess is it's largely for historical reasons. At the time most venues were organized PDF was probably the best (or only) mechanism for sharing documents for print distribution.

But we think it's time to change that :).
Yes, this is entirely about people choosing to impinge on others, and I don't see how it's been established that a weight loss mandate is fundamentally different than a vaccine mandate, except in the handwaving around details that really don't seem to be central to the issue. And I think people are taking the idea of forced medical treatments far too lightly.

You guys obviously have no leadership skills...sad.
Same, I've never felt anything like this. I find code review tedious and the only thing I really care about is if their code is properly tested or not.
Thanks for that! Odd that they had him back one year later as those jokes were brutal! (different times)
>Oracle will provide these free releases and updates starting with Oracle JDK 17 and continue for one full year after the next LTS release. Prior versions are not affected by this change.

So, if that had applied to 11, it would lose updates from Oracle in 1 year from now. Whereas something like Corretto is currently committed to Java 11 updates until 2027 [0].

They seem to also be planning to increase frequency of LTS to every 2 years, so, basically assuming you upgrade to next LTS immediately (unlikely in any moderately complex app with deps) you have 3 years of free updates.

No thanks.

I have hardly seen an android tablet in the last five years, except in POS systems or some other industrial equipment.

I've seen iPads even in "android homes". But I think most tablets are used in the home and I don't go into a lot of peoples' houses, much less see tablet when I'm visiting, so there may be a vast dark pool of personally-owned android tablets.
Taking a node down does not mean outage at all. Service uptime also reads like a non-sequitur given the comment on the JDK11 crashes sounded like OP was doing something weird with the new JDKs, not with the old prod system running JDK8.

JDK11 was released way back in 2018. Any claim that it's unstable these days is not credible.
I want to know the answer to this. I have a really good track record of picking things that are about to get hot (julia, elixir, zig). As much as I love linux, I also hate it. I'm ready for the next OS.
I think his hands were somewhat tied on the iPhone honestly - flash apps were borderline unusable on the flagship Android headsets of the day. You had to install an alternate browser, the apps were designed for mouse-keyboard input rather than touchscreens, they were non-responsive, they lagged with the Qualcomm chips, and they absolutely ravaged your battery.

It's no wonder Steve Jobs just decided not to straight up
not the tech. The security concerns were just a convenient scapegoat.
To quote his major points

- Founders banished

- Community in shambles

- Companies losing linux focus

- Core system components reaching unsustainability

- Google building a replacement (Fuschia)

- Statistically unlikely to stay active much longer
I think the idea behind 418, as much as there was an idea beyond a joke, was to indicate you sent your request to a teapot instead of a server. So yeah, client error for why it's not 518 instead.

But it works in this example for "client did something weird I don't understand", so still client error - something akin to a 404, "client tried to go somewhere I don't understand".
SOAP is fine if you're talking to yourself or otherwise confined to a single dialect. But that's not saying much since that's true of any data format. SOAP falls down when trying to get systems all developed by n different companies all talking to one another which was/is the whole point of the stupid thing.

If leek and asparagus are your biggest omissions, then I think they've done a pretty good job at representing food. The point isn't to have photo-realistic illustrations of every possible food. Instead, they're trying to create a useful set of pictographic primitives that can be used for communication for everyone person on Earth. Even if they had photo-realistic emojis of every cut of meat, it wouldn't be that useful.
Sure, but no other updates or patches require massive rewrites to work as well as it does now, and they can be applied one machine at a time.

e.g. a non insignificant portion relies on corba/rmi. it works, and works fine.

switching, e.g.

I see 17 is potentially ripping out security manager, why? wth?

So suddenly jars that expect to throw an exception if 3pd code wants to do something they arent allowed to will now just run fine?

Really really very sad face.
Ehhhh, maybe this is true but I think you’re overselling in the other direction.

North Koreans don’t speak Mandarin, they would be loath to consider themselves as Han, they have a totally unique food culture, etc.

I honestly think it’s closer to US / Taiwan style connection than what you claim.

I'm aware that Brian has been trolling with such a title over the years, but I really think that it's the epitome of clickbait. Totally a personal opinion, but I absolutely hate such farcical titles.

I'd honestly feel more compelled to watch yet another one of those with a title like "What still sucks about Linux"
"Because they tend to live longer" so ok let's not vaccinate because the unvaccinated will die off faster and cost the healthcare way less
I don't think your perspective is accurate.

Every celebrity hires armies of people to look after them. They sell their image and likeness. Everything about their public appearance is part of their business. In this context, paying $70K for a hair stylist is not different from paying $70K for a personal trainer, beautician, tanning service, nail service, massage, etc. Their business has expenses and parameters not found in other businesses.

I pay a service to come clean our office, CNC and electronics manufacturing shop. This becomes a deduction. Trump, Bill Maher or Dua Lipa don't have that deduction. They have stuff like hair and clothing.

I have a friend who is a real estate agent. Part of his tax deduction profile includes such things as washing and detailing his car as well as some allocation for clothing. My wife is a doctor, she gets to deduct work clothing, safety equipment, seminars and other business expenses.

Yes, the tax code is a rotten mess. I agree with this 100%. I would much rather have a nominal flat tax and no deductions of any kind for anyone. Our current tax code wasn't the result of a conspiracy to benefit the rich. It's the result of decades of pushing and pulling by a bunch of different groups, each with a different objective.

Where the little guy gets screwed is that the individual has very few deductions, while businesses have tons. That's the bottom line. This has nothing to do with the rich. You can go form an LLC today --HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!-- and access deductions you could not as an individual. None of these deductions have "rich person" written on them. All you need is an LLC, which isn't that expensive or difficult to create. And all you need to be a business is to sell a few items per year on eBay (or whatever).

Simple example: I can deduct business mileage use of a vehicle when going to see clients. An individual can't deduct miles driven to and from work. I think this is wrong. Yet, again, it has nothing to do with benefiting the rich, you don't have to be rich to have access to these deductions, you just have to be on the side of the tax code that enables access to them. If you are puzzled by the possibilities, talk to a tax accountant and ask them if you would benefit from forming an LLC and, if you did, how you should use it.
The lies they tell...I suppose the next $2.9T bill giving less than $1T to citizens is a good thing too? Your fault.
Yup, we're definitely thinking about this.

Our focus right now is on providing a tool folks can run it on whatever papers they have access to. For instance, some researchers might have access to documents that aren't available to the public. We want them to be able to run this against those.

That said as we expand the effort I imagine we'll eventually pre-convert things that are publicly available, like those on ArXiv, etc.
Because Go doesn't support userland generic types, I see liberal use of `interface{}` types in APIs. There must be a better way.
"natural immunity provides decent protection" is a falsehood that exposes your intentionally limited definitions of "decent" and "protection." Again it is anything but decent behavior to expose your community to a contagious virus and it doesn't protect the person desiring immunity via infection from potential disability. Natural is even in question as the mechanism by which the body produces antibodies against the virus is the same. The RNA vaccine encodes a specific antigen, this antigen is presented to your natural immune system and it produces defenses like it would to any other antigen.
Even better is when you get a review like this and get the pleasure of telling the reviewer why they are wrong!
Ars technica's article is wrong, that is true. It claims that the survey says that PHP has a lead in server-side programming languages, that is not what the survey says, the survey only measures websites, not server-side programming languages in general.

What I meant was that your original claim that the survey measures response headers only, that is false.
Ah yes, I also don't think of walmart as a retailer because I don't like it
Nah mate, s'all good! It's great to hear your feedback; I am very much of the algebraist spirit myself (I barely passed my Rudin-based real analysis course). Our experiences definitely align. FP feels much more like my favorite parts of math.

Out of curiosity, can you identify any areas in PLT that could be made more analyst-friendly?

Intuitively, it feels that PLT is almost necessarily of the algebraist; to me, one of the big divides is the discreteness of algebra vs the continuity of analysis. Would it help if there was a PLT that exhibited a greater degree of continuousness? If so, what do you think that might look like?
Most of all, it’s simple. You can’t do fancy and clever stuff which might feel bad in the moment but 6 months from now you’ll be much happier to read the simple but slightly verbose version.
No it's not better than what is going on in academia. It's like the extreme version of all the problems of academia rolled into one: Hyperbolic storytelling, massive vague claims, not citing anyone but yourself, and nothing backed up by evidence matching the claims.

I spent way too much time looking at the Physics Project when it came out, there is just nothing of substance there. And no, he is not doing experiments that back up his claims, he's just running some random simulations and waving his hands at the pictures that come out.

One key aspect of the scientific method is to acknowledge that it's very easy to fool yourself into thinking you have understood something "up to ironing out some details". Every crackpot is convinced of this. And that's why science operates on the foundation of convincing others of the understanding we have reached. Not any random others, but other people that have invested the time to master what is already known, and are making a good faith effort to understand. I am not talking about peer review, I am talking about the long conversation that unfolds over many many publication, conference talks, heated seminar discussions, etc.

Nothing Wolfram has done/contributed to in the last 30 years that has convinced anyone of note. Deep thinkers in all branches of science that he touches upon have unanimously found his output to be a vanity project of no scientific value. That is not to say that there are no interesting and valuable ideas in the texts he produces, it's simply that these ideas are already known, not his, and he does not acknowledge or tackle the problems that they have. In turn he has not made a good faith effort to engage with the work of others that is pertinent to his claims (usually because this would show that his claims are vastly exagerated and known to be problematic).

He good at one thing: Selling himself as a genius outsider to people not willing or qualified to come to their own conclusions on his work.

(I rather enjoyed this review of ANKS which goes into some detail for a number of the points I make here: http://www.bactra.org/reviews/wolfram/ I personally looked quite deeply into the "papers" produced at the time of his "Physics Project", by Gorard. Some of these are things I have studied very deeply in the past and feel qualified to judge. There simply is _nothing_ there.)

Sometimes, I like to look at profiles of posters, see how long they've been on HN, and page through a few of their comments to see how frequently they post. If they've been on for a while, post regularly, and have a low amount of karma, then they may have some controversial opinions that may be interesting to read.
Wanted to address the first two from a friend's experience - these are absolutely not true.

They are able to work 4 hours a day remote (2 hours per job) and get good reviews. Some days happen to be a full 8 hour day, but they're rare.

Meetings for junior positions almost never conflict when the junior has less than 3 meetings a week. It sounds like it would be common, but turns out it's rare.
The other amazing thing in that tweet is that Norway uses more energy per capita than the next three countries combined? Double the USA? What is the explanation there?

Quite verbose for such limited content.

Anyway, Linux has always been the under-dog. It was "statistically" much less likely to survive in the late-90s and early-00s.

In my personal opinion, Linux offers me the best desktop experience today.

I think I'm not in a bubble, I dabble with MacOS and Windows often. Linux feels liberating. It takes time to customize to one's preferences, but after that, it is smooth AF.
Is that true? I'm not a lawyer, but I know that in certain criminal plea agreements, such as in antitrust cases, the financial penalty can be paid over installments, the size of which is tied to the company's financial performance. See e.g.

> If the parties agree that the recommended fine needs to be paid in installments because of the defendant's inability to pay the entire amount immediately, the plea agreement will include the installment schedule and any interest terms.(58) The payment of a special assessment(59) and any recommendation on a term of probation(60) or expedited sentencing(61) for corporations, or requests by individual defendants to be placed in a specific correctional facility,(62) will also be addressed in the plea agreement.

And to get back to the original comment I replied to, this critique seems like it would apply to any financial punishment, not something that came down to a technical distinction between "fine" and "financial penalty".
