Indeed a good point. Had the US elected representatives had better morals none of this would have ever happened. It would have been pre-empted decades ago. But we have no influence over their morals, only an ability to vote for or against them. Those elected by definition are the best people available. So if they don't have good morals that means the whole society does not have good morals. I suppose the best we can do is to try to have better morals ourselves and hope to positively influence the rest of society to make better moral choices...

All that is hard, and that's why evil like Putin prevails...
For one, you should probably have an LLC if you want to be serious about business in the first place. If it's just a hobby, then I guess don't charge money for it. But the moment you're charging people money, you practically need an LLC for so many little reasons. One you want to have separate finances established for the LLC and for yourself.

If I were you I'd go ahead and establish the LLC, and then just see if the client wants to move forward. If they do, there's no shame of hiring a few contractors on to help you get to where you want to get to. If they don't, then you still want an LLC

I have an LLC, and I'm well aware that I'll probably never make a dime on my side project. I just have no interest in commingling my personal and business finances.

Overall I'd definitely go for it
No, not if you're not selling ZeroTier as a for-profit SaaS product or building it into a closed product.
Throwing exceptions is slow. Adding exception handling code itself has little to no overhead.

Only throw exceptions in exceptional cases, not for frequently expected outcomes.
I wonder if the subs have enough quantity of fuel to make a respectable explosion. Like if they need to ditch 8 subs to make a bomb, it is pretty low risk if I were China.
Maybe a good interview question for experienced developers should be "tell us about a time when you attempted something in software and failed at it." In my case it was being given a 10 or 20 KLOC C server that had memory leaks all over and segfaults all over the place (written by a friend) and told to make it prod ready.
Yup, as Warren Buffet so succinctly put it:

Do you think the mod(s) here are aware? I know they're working hard, and I have no idea how dang has done this job for so long. I don't always agree with him, but I recognize the incredible (and incredibly difficult) job he does.

Still, I sometimes wonder if there is some internal denial around the chang(ing/ed) culture of HN.
I don’t necessarily disagree with you on that point.
Can you or any other traffic engineers here tell me why we find it acceptable that cars are allowed to make unprotected left turns while pedestrians have a walk signal? Right turn on red is bad enough, but unprotected lefts give drivers a direct incentive to torpedo into crossing cyclists / pedestrians, as slowing down would mean a collision with oncoming traffic! Too many intersections in downtown Atlanta, for instance, have no left turn arrow, and I felt constantly in danger.
Was talking about ZeroTier.

And orange cones - the orange cone detection team at Tesla is outstanding. Garbage cans are also pretty accurate. Not sure why they detect garbage cans but not parked cars, but that's just me.
If I reserve something, I expect it to be there. Car rental companies should not be allowed to play the game of lying to consumers under the understanding that lying is "by now standard practice". This is what consumer protection laws are explicitly for. If a car rental company wants to 'play the odds' and say that they're likely, but not definitely, going to have a car available, then sure that's their prerogative, BUT then they should not be legally allowed to make it appear like you are actually reserving a vehicle that will be there...that is fraud.

Let's look at an analogy with even just the same object. Let's say I run a car dealership. 9 times out of 10 you get the car that I told you you're going to get. But every tenth time, I just happen to be out of stock because I didn't predict that a market could have shortages and didn't plan accordingly. In that instance, I then give you a completely different car than the one you thought you were buying, oh and this one also happens to reek of vomit and smoke. This would not in a million years be acceptable.
After reading all the grumbling here I decided to install Win11.

Downloaded the beta iso, burnt a DVD and installed a new SSD.

My PC is a few years old and doesn't have a TPM chip, but the RegEdit hack was simple and worked just fine.

The install went smoothly and surprisingly quickly.

After using Win11 for a day or two, I really like it and soon got used to the UI changes. It seems to be very fast and snappy.

My one criticism is the rather clunky right-click menu's in Explorer. Hopefully that will be sorted in the next release.

Bottom line, I love Win11 and won't be going back!

P.S. have installed every version since Win#1, way back in 1985.
Yeah, you know to pay attention when the lane edges drop out of the console.
Liferea.
Also, pay only per year, instead of per month. So if you even want to get started you better be ready to fork over $1200 per developer immediately.

I can say a lot of bad things about Atlassian, but their price/benefit ratio is outstanding.
Fastmail is good.
The same thing is happening here in Australia (foreign investment). Frankly, this might backfire for Trudeau, as yes housing prices are insane, but a lot of voters also own houses. Anything that could now cause prices to drop is seen as a negative and therefore will find voter backlash. Labor in Australia tried something similar at the last election with IIRC removal of negative gearing (tax cuts for investment properties), they lost.

Would the show have worked with that? I mean, realistically?

Do people like that have camaraderie? And society? Is that realistic?

I mean of course I like to think they do. But maybe they don't. Maybe it would be like 3 Pak Protectors pinging each other across lightyears.

And maybe it would still work showwise.

The demographic would be like 10 people. I'd probably watch it.

The US probably pressured Australia. At this point, one can assume that Australia is just a bunch of land where some people live on it while being monitored electronically.
Maybe I don't know enough about how this works in Canada in particular, but will this do anything? I thought a lot of the issue was from housing as an investment vehicle, and not specifically foreign investment. And are foreign investors really buying the real estate directly, or are they purchasing REITs and the trusts are buying them on their behalf (laundering the "foreignness" of the investment)?

And, as always, what does this do to address housing supply? Are foreigners also restricted from investing in new construction which might actually lower or slow housing costs?
This is an excellent framework to validate a low-code/ full-stack frameworks as ERPs are complex beasts. I would like to also add( especially for opensource low-code frameworks ):

#6 Can it generate pdf and excel reports

#7 Does it support scheduled jobs/tasks

#8 Can you choose to execute logic in the backend ( this does not seem to be the case for retool etc which only support frontend js )

#9 Can I extend with my own js, css and backend libraries

#10 Is it horizontally scalable and stateless

#11 Drag and drop ui builder that is not hard-coded to a single css framework and that generates code that can be modified.

I have not yet found any low-code framework that fits into these benchmarks
I didn't use Linux proper until 2000. I had used Minix in around 1988/89 for an operating systems class. Never struck me as odd to be running a unix on my 8088 PC with 1 floppy drive. At the time it just seemed like a more powerful DOS.

What countries are downstream of the Malacca Straits?

The world is much more than the US and Canada. The EU itself would face a terrible economic crisis.

There's no way of blockading only China. The US has no way of knowing if a boat is going/coming from Cambodia, Vietnam, or even South Korea without stationing assets very close to the border with China, which we know is really not practical.

The vast majority of countries in the world will simply not care if China invades Taiwan. Why would they?

The BRI is actually seen as a positive, not negative, by a lot of people in developing countries that benefit from pretty good deals and development. China knows it needs the BRI to hedge against a US blockade and thus make it not worthwhile, so they're willing to give pretty good deals comparatively.

I assure you, the vast majority of the world will not mind. What they will mind is the US blocking off 30-50% of their foreign trade in a blockade and causing a massive economic downturn. There's no way around that.

100 days of straight reserves is a lot. If they're still importing from Russia at full capacity that's even more, around 150 days, and they would certainly increase the reserves before any kind of invasion. That's without rationing, which they certainly would do. By rationing non essential civilian use, and increasing Russian imports as well as domestic production, and increasing reserves, they would last a year. That's a full year for them to construct more domestic exploitation, more imports from Russia and Central Asia, and alternatives. The war might very well be over by then as both sides run out of precision munitions.

As far as action in the SCS, I just don't see it lasting more than a month, unless the US is trying to impose a blockade. What would the contention be once China has invaded Taiwan? There is no way the US could invade and liberate Taiwan back, so what would be the point? Just shooting at civilian ships and try not to get found from a submarine while lacking air superiority surrounded by Chinese sonobuoys and UUVs? I don't see the strategic goal that would lead to a confrontation in the SCS for months after the fall of Taiwan, nor do I see how US surface ships could survive.

As for companies not wanting to do it, have you considered that many of those companies are Chinese? What do you expect them to do, nothing? Some are even Chinese state-owned enterprises.

I could even see the PLA making these ships unmanned as bait in the SCS to get submarines to shoot at them with passive sonar rigged in unbeknownst to the submarine, triggering a launch of China's air-launched anti-submarine torpedoes.

I worked on a tool that processes a large-ish dataset using only data structures in memory, since this is much faster and simpler than using a system like Spark for example. Not only that, the nature of the processing algorithm (a reduce, in effect) makes it kind of pointless to run on a cluster of nodes.

The dataset is 2-3B records with 5-12 64-bit values each, stored in a few dozen files using the Apache Arrow format. If we take the midpoint of this range that's 170 GB just with raw data. With the overhead of data structures, I was running the process with ~400 GiB of RAM and could have done more on a beefier machine.

It took about 20-30 minutes to run the full algorithm on these tens of billions of data points and this approach was perfect for this use case. No overhead of Spark and all of its dependencies, just one program, a bunch of input files, and it's done when I get back from lunch.
I could equally make a website about all the people who have died from the vaccine, but I wouldn't because that's disgusting.
While free will is often debatable, I think at a point it's up to an adult to decide what that adult wants to do.

If you at 24 decide you don't want to finish college and you don't want to work, that's your right. I definitely would blame parents who enable this behavior and don't just kick the kids out.

As far as I'm concerned, if I meet someone in their late 20s or early 30s who still doesn't want to work, I don't really care what their problem is. I don't need to hear a backstory about how their bosses mean to them when they were 19 and they swore off working forever.

I simply know people like that can cause very real damage to my life and I see to avoid them. I have found insurgent cities there's a far higher concentration of these folks, which led to me moving a few years ago. Again, I don't care why Billy or Mindy doesn't want to work. I just know I'm not letting them in my life.
Pulling out of Russia might have zero immediate impact on stopping Putin rigging elections which are rigged anyway, but it would definitely reduce his and his mafia's wealth and power, thereby helping bring about the inevitable regime change sooner, and in a less turbulent way.

>If we have more vaccinated than ever, but there are more cases and deaths than ever, how does it therefore follow that it is “undeniable” that the vaccines are doing exactly what we want?

In my area, most people are vaccinated. If the vaccine wasn't very effective, you'd expect that most people dying of COVID would be vaccinated. In reality, something like 98% of deaths are among the unvaccinated
As someone that's been a moderately successful transplant in many cities, I have seen local populations point the fingers at very arbitrary reasons or people for why people can't afford anything.

The commonalities between these populations is that they seems to neglect general macroeconomic trends, as well as local zoning gaffs.

Makes it almost impossible for me to empathize if everyone is so far off the mark.

Fortunately, being a melanin-infused minority I get to blend in to the left side of the inequality bell curve. So, that's a nice privilege in the populist uprising. "Gotta watch out for those gentrifiers I'll let you know if I see any! I can't believe anyone would have the audacity to pay the listed prices or leases set by landlords already here."

A foreign buyer ban will also miss the mark.

I wonder how they will implement that, it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
There are native solutions in browsers. I think they mean that they'd have to use their own custom "rust to dom" ones, if they didn't like the native browser ones (they do have some limitations around styling and formatting)
For a static site you can still download a local copy from GitHub if you wish. It'll be delivered as a .zip if you do it from the browser.
Adding to that, assume any C++ code can throw exceptions unless it's specifically stated it won't.

If you're doing manual memory allocation in a function, your exception handling might be leaky. (gsl::finally is your friend.)
Dual clutch transmissions are not uncommon in production cars today. VW calls them DSG (direct shift gearbox), Audi S-Tronic.
Car2Go pulled out of Minneapolis-St. Paul because the state classified them as rental cars and therefore charged really high rental tax rates intended for gouging travelers that rent cars at the airport.

> France has nuclear-powered submarines carrying nuclear ICBMs. Of course they can defend their islands.

Let's not pretend that France is going to go to nuclear war to over these territories.

> France has a permanent navy presence in the Pacific. They don't need to get an aircraft carrier there.

I mean so does the Philippines. The question is what are they going to do with it?

> Aircraft carriers are useless against a modern army anyway. It's all about submarines.

I'm not really sure that's true. And why would it be less true with better detection technology now than it would have been in World War II where aircraft carriers were what mattered?

A submarine will have to find the carrier fleet and evade defenses. No easy feat. Navies have been battling submarines for decades so it's not like it's some big secret weapon.

> That's the second economic block in the world. There is plenty they can do to piss off America if they want to.

I think this is wishful thinking. The US is far stronger than the EU is economically, and any sort of actions harms the EU too. So there isn't really much they can do.

> They could think it's in their best interest to be more concilient with China for example. That's how diplomacy works.

and that's why the US is going behind Frances back, creating and strengthening alliances with the Uk and Australia. The US has come to believe that the EU is more interested in playing both sides, which doesn't benefit the US.

> Russia is a nuclear power and one of the largest country on the planet, a country full of natural resources.

100%

> They are also quite close to China and an important link in the new silkroad which is an important part of China global strategy.

I wouldn't be so quick to toss Russia into China's lap. The silk road is mostly marketing. Some economic development but it's a ho-hum affair.

> You can't just dismiss Russia. It's foolish.

Sure I can. What exactly are they going to do? Bother Europe? It's not 1970 anymore. My point isn't that Russia doesn't have capabilities. My point is they don't really have much to do that they aren't already doing and most of it is targeted toward agitating Europe which, appears to not want the US's help with.

I always watch logged-out. (Occasionally on iOS I will be unknowingly logged-in, not sure how that happens. I log out if I notice I am logged-in.) YouTube seems to maintain an identity for me, and auto-constructs playlists using past items viewed. Recommendations appear to relate to past viewing.

I’m uncertain on how cookies are maintained. Are these Safari cookies behind the scenes?

My point is, contrary to GP’s claim, there is some mechanism for viewing history even if it is turned off.
very yes :)

personally I am a freelance artist who fights to get stupid corporate social media platforms to actually show her work to the people who've said they want to see it, so I'm somewhat less complicit in the creation of this cyberpunk dystopia than the average HN reader.

Do you mean that a "college degree is a waste of time and money unless you want to go into academia"?

If you had to decide between dropping $X for a computer science degree, and $X for e.g. some liberal arts degree, are you suggesting that the liberal arts degree is a better investment for a career as a developer?

I'm not sure if you're making a statement about how things should be or how they are. Because pretty sure 90%+ companies still value computer science degrees.
> How was this not native like 20 years ago?

Date inputs were standardized with HTML5, but browser implementations are of variable quality (and, important to designers, variable default look-and-feel, and limited, IIRC, customizability).
> In a proper Lisp you can take anything that in a regular language would be a language feature and implement it as a library.

I should have been perhaps a bit more clear, though T9 makes that hard. I mean more in the sense of standardization. In some ways, LISP makes a better case for what I've suggested simply because you can modify the syntax with such relative ease. If you see patterns emerge, it makes it easier to standardize a syntactic construction to make it less idiosyncratic.
There's nothing wrong with immediately typing. It would be a good idea to teach more programmers to think twice and type once.

Then again for my personal projects I find it the most fun to dive in head first, and fix whatever issues I run into later.

Occasionally I'll take a hybrid approach, where I'll immediately jump in and try to hack together a really bad prototype. Figure out what worked and what didn't, and then rewrite the code from scratch later. I sincerely enjoy programming so this has been very fun for me. And there's nothing like turning a hobby into a career!

But Australia is 5000 miles away from China, only slightly less than Hawaii. Sure Australia is lower cost with vast land but don't see how that is immediate game changer.
It would be better if you could return it to any empty Zipcar stall, the same way rental bike work. The app could let you claim a spot ahead of time, so that it's not taken by someone else by the time you get there.
The Netherlands already implemented these "mini cars" used by older people and limited to 45kph. I think Not Just Bikes did a video on them.
We had this in New Zealand a few years ago too. Prices kept climbing regardless (in my area, prices have doubled in the 3 years since the ban). The real problem is normal owner-occupier homebuyers since they do most of the buying. But they're also the common people and the "victims" so they can't easily blame themselves for their own greed and need a scapegoat like foreigners or investors.
