Exactly - I don’t go to my wife to gush over the latest database optimization details I discovered expecting to have a deep technical discussion. Maybe the executive summary. I talk to my coworkers or friends or online people who are excited about the same details. If someone can only feel close to you when they speak of crossword puzzles I wonder if they’re on the spectrum or need to join a crossword club or something.

We do have a baseline of shared philosophies and views but even there we often find that we slightly disagree on details.
I’m not the OP, just the project owner. Although I did do a Show HN when it launched.
At this point, if you can't see how fucked up the US legal system is, I am sorry.

Federal court has in the 90 percent conviction rate. Is it because they have such air tight cases and evidence to follow? No, it's a purely political kangaroo court.

Someone would do well do wipe this cancerous 'judicial' system off grid.
I have an application I developed for a client starting in 2005 using Delphi 7; my VM is based on Windows XP, and the app worked fine on Windows 7 and is now used on Windows 10. I had to update one setting in an external configuration file for slight differences in the ADO driver, but other than that I haven't rebuilt the executable for years.

I was genuinely pleased for the client as they are nice people running an essential service on a budget that is always under threat, and this result means not needing to pay for a silly 'fresh' version of the application.
Playstation uses PSSL, which is basically HLSL with some slightly different semantics. It's possible to compile hlsl as pssl with a single (small) header file with some preprocessor defines in it. PSSL and HLSL are not developed in lock step though so all valid PSSL is not valid HLSL and vice a versa even without defines. It's not possible to actually get into details without breaking NDA and I haven't actively done Sony development since PS4 days (5-6 years ago)
You have to get your ICP number registered by a Chinese national (like you say) and then display it on the footer of all your web pages (if you don't, your site will be taken down & you'll be fined). You've also got to store all data on Chinese citizens on a Chinese server.

And they don't mention this on that page, but for every publc IP you want to use in China, you have to re-submit your ICP filing/license paperwork, listing every public IP you will use, and what it is used for. So don't accidentally destroy your AWS load balancer, or you'll need to re-file all your paperwork before you can bring your site back up! (AWS load balancers can't be configured with static IPs)

> Remind me, why do we do business with these people again? Why do we give them our money?

Because then we get money. It's the largest "emerging" market in the world. If you have a product that makes 1 million dollars in the US, do some localization work and launch it in China, and you've doubled your money. Every major corporation is actively working on launching in China, because it's obvious that they're leaving money on the table by not being in China.
People only seem to have heard about GitHub Copilot. But Microsoft has a similar solution (that is not as... invasive) that was first released in preview in 2018. It's called IntelliCode, available for multiple languages both for Visual Studio Code[1] and regular Visual Studio[2] (but not enabled by default last time I checked -- which was a while ago, granted).

JetBrains has their own experimental thing that is not enabled per default.

And there's also Codota and Tabnine.

Copilot is actually fairly late to the party here.

One terminal with your editor, one terminal with a shell running Make, maybe one more terminal to manually test/inspect the result.

Same as it's been since two terminals for a developer was affordable.
See great oxidation event.

Also destroing x% of species isn't same destroying x% of life.

If there are ten species of 2 individuals and 80 individuals of another species, you can kill ~90% species while killing only 20% of all life. If you kill 90% of all life you have to kill 90 individuals.

I haven't worked a lot with Docker or similar containerization tools, but my impression is they require you to have an internet connection to download stuff.

At least with Docker, when you write or download a docker file for the first time, it's just a description of stuff that needs to be downloaded and maybe commands that need to be executed.

This kind of thing is qualitatively much worse than a statically linked executable binary in terms.

> a stack that can create standalone static binaries.

Yea, a language that has the notion of a compiler is a MUST if you actually care about this kind of thing.
The point of this site is to have discussion. If you dont want to discuss things, then maybe you shouldn't be commenting.

It sounds a bit like trolling when you call something BS, then the source you give shows evidence that it does work in some populations. Then there are two other supportive studies. Yet you want to give non-sensical and non-applicable examples of asking Porche owners questions.
Great analysis. People also don't like donning headsets with other people around - it's very much something you do on your own in your own home. We've had nearly 30 years of VR (in some form or another) and if it hasn't caught-on now, I don't think it ever will.

> Not sure why the burden of proof is on me

There's no burden of proof here, the question is: what is the point of the post? I assume the goal is to help someone change their mind - to think more like you. And my observation is that you are not providing anything in your comment that would enable someone to follow a logical thread to reach the same conclusion as you.

So the net effect is, whoever already agreed with you continues to agree with you, and anyone who doesn't already agree with you isn't given a reason to change their mind.

In my mind that's a lost opportunity to persuade people, in which case what's the point of the comment?
Yes, I sell everything on vest and save/invest the money instead.
It definitely made me double-take. At night, I could see it being a real issue. But I agree about the dumb Audi signals.

Docker is especially bad for this. A jar file that runs today will probably run fine in 10 years on future Java. The container might, but it almost certainly has a huge number of security vulnerabilities, and maybe no one uses AMD64 and ARM anymore.
One of the reasons the whole server less philosophy appeals. Stuff can still go very wrong but at least there isn’t a server that is your problem when things go sideways.

> Your license should cover the history, in that every source file should bear a license header, going back to the first commit.

This is one way to do it. Problem remains when these important parts, even whole files - e.g. COPYRIGHT - are removed from the archived copy.

From what the original author reports, this is what happened.
Do you have a link to a source?
Thank you for the heads up, I will always keep that in mind whenever I write another comment.

Let's not forget that you brought politics into this, not me. Let's not forget that I did not talk about who I like at all. Finally, let's not forget that this group, that you (not me) associate with a political side, is performing mass suicide by following TV personalities rather than experts, accepting massive collateral damage to others. Hundreds of thousands are dead, more than died in the Civil War, hundreds of thousands could have been saved had one not taken medical and epidemiological advice from TV personalities.
Yes and no. The cost savings from not using a car mostly is an all or nothing deal. You save a lot by not owning one all together but you don’t save much by not using one you already have
I'm trying to empathise to your perspective, but I can't see why you would want to remain less happy (or more miserable) that you'd otherwise potentially be while your partner does the same thing, just because it seemed like a good idea at some point in the past.

You add abstract good adjectives to that idea (honorable, wise, beautiful) and bad adjectives to the opposite (wanton, selfish, etc), but you don't really justify that assignation.

I understand that thinking short term by default can lead to harm or missing something in the long term. But there's a whole jump from that to thinking that something has value just for being long lasting. Following your analogy, I wouldn't want to keep reaching from water in a well that went dry long ago.

>The best things in life, the best stories, are those that come after trial and sacrifice.

I'd say that even if that is often true, it is often difficult to tell trials and sacrifices apart from refusal to move on.

And to be clear, since this can be both a philosophical conversation and one that touches personal matters,I don't by any means imply a personal judgement of your personal choices - I'm just speaking about abstract ideas.
As someone with an admittedly very minor open source presence, NO. I'd rather get tips than have someone waste electricity (not to mention hosting costs) on my behalf.
The DOJ asserts criminal jurisdiction over a Chinese national "defrauding" a Hong Kong bank in a meeting in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong could have thrown a skunk into the extradition garden party by asserting sovereign criminal jurisdiction and requesting Meng's extradition along with investigatory files from DOJ via MLAT.

The extradition hearing was proceeding under the fiction that the "criminal" act took place in Canada; however Meng's lawyers pointed out that Canadian law has no jurisdiction over conduct between foreign nationals in another country (excepting war crimes and crimes against humanity). The judge found difficulties with the DOJ case.

Had the judge ruled against the DOJ, Meng could have flown back to China with the DOJ indictment hanging over her head and inhibiting foreign travel.

The DPA spares her that along with maybe another decade of an ankle bracelet, security guards, and several million in legal fees.

But really the DOJ had to twist a repealed Iran sanctions case that would not fly in Canada into a "bank fraud" case.

Why a Canadian justice minister refused to see through that and halt extradition in January '19 and spare two innocent Canadians nearly three years in Chinese jail, I have no idea.

I'm no fan of China, but they do know their way around Realpolitik hardball way, way, way better than Canada,which as a Canadian I find utterly clueless.
It honestly sounds like you shouldn't be using a raspberry pi if this level of responsiveness is what you need. Get an ESP32 instead if you want instant response times, or leave the Pi running at all times.

We all have different circles. My point was less about the gender and more that some partners (at least those IME) have unrealistic expectations. They may also not consider the quantity of work the other side is putting in over the years.

dear admins,

this guy is baiting me

dear readers,

that is what gaslighting looks like

this guy wasn't even around yet when whaops was hacked by dime. that's how new he is. i've been chatting with dime and he confirmed his friend didn't "help him code" anything

"null" here is slandering me over a personal beef spanning 15 years, and on reddit he was doing it in conjunction with xyrix and/or virus - due to the same 15+ year personal beef i have with that whole crew - or they have with me, rather. they follow me around the internet and attack like hyenas when i write or do anything public facing. these dudes are factually obsessed with me and i'm still not entirely sure why. it's flattering at least

null, you're not an authority on some shit you weren't even around for. calling me a groupie spectator to aol hacking, or to imply i didn't surf lan and wreck 500 - 1,000+ ints throughout my ao-career. you're out of your mind. nobody actually in the know would make the claim that pad wasn't deeply involved in ao-hacking. i was there in 1997 loading up punters for aol 2.5 - whereas you didn't come around until 2004. an authority. ha

as far as what's written about me - none of it was planted, or because i was caught for ridiculous bullshit like bothering celebrities and people with lexnex xs
I’m currently enjoying “From Mathematics to Generic Programming” by Alexander Stepanov and Daniel E. Rose.

One thing about the book is that it’s a lot more interesting than what a cursory scan of the table of contents would suggest. An O(log n) algorithm for multiplication doesn’t seem interesting at first. But the authors do an amazing job of starting from familiar ideas and building up to surprisingly beautiful and elegant ideas.

I think I’m finally able to grok c++ templates half way through this book.

One unfortunate downside to this book is that the authors wrote this before concepts were introduced in c++20. I would love to see an updated edition of this book that use the real c++20 concepts. However, this doesn’t diminish my recommendation for this book.
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, marry your best friend. Don't read these self-help articles.

When I was young the pundits kept saying that love only lasts 2 years. I think this is because they had a shallow definition of love.

If you marry your best friend you will always be your true self and they will always be their true self.

I am talking about very large scale systems with web + mobile + desktop clients in an Enterprise environments. Think airlines and airports (operations and pairing/rostering). However it sounds as if your experience has been pretty bad. So I understand where you are coming from. My experience is that yes it is hard to do right but also that it is worth doing. YMMV of course.

This argument doesn't make any sense. Electricity is really easy to transmit across the power grid. There is no such thing as an isolated power plant with excess electricity.

Any electricity used for Bitcoin is electricity that isn't used to take a coal-fired power plant offline somewhere else.
>Well sure, that's part of the point. There didn't exist a concept of constant access to news and happenings at every point of your day. Couldn't just pull out your phone and check Fox/CNN, or get updates via social media.

The 24 hour news cycle has been a thing since at least 1991: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN#Gulf_War which incidentally are some of my first memories.

In the 90s you might not have had a mobile phone, but every place you went had a TV with one of the news channels on, and you'd be bombarded with what was happening on CNN, or Fox, or if you were in a really highbrow place the BBC, every 15 minutes. I'd say I'm less exposed to news today because I have earbuds that isolate me much better than anything I could plug into a walkman in the 90s.

I don't count suicides. My state has a high alcohol consumption rate and high suicide rate (loneliness).

Including only homicide, california is 3.19 per 100k and my state is 2.51 per 100k. Sadly I can't get it to drill down to my county. They also do not include justifiable homicide as a data point.

The thing that strikes me about this is how much less formalized things used to be - the fire happened on 12/24, a contract was awarded for the repairs on 1/4, and work was complete and the executive branch moved back in on 4/14.
They copied the idea of gofmt; they could be a bit fairer with attribution to ESLint though.
I think it is not necessarily about being compiled versus interpreted. It is more about static typing, and the type-related issues being revealed and fixed right at the beginning instead of only when the user invokes the problematic branch of code at runtime.

Richard Neutra’s Architectural Vanishing Act
I think at this point, if you haven't had any US government entity trying to come up with plans to hurt you, you've probably done something bad (beneficial to the US government). They seem to frequently want to be on the wrong side of history, so if you're on their list/been on their list, you're doing something right.
Have you actually tried to reduce dependencies?

I mean, are you speaking from experience, or just theorizing?

Here's something to keep in mind: when you depend on a huge library that has 40 features, it's likely your program only needs 5 of them.

So, while the huge library benefits from "many eyes", your particular program would benefit much more from not depending on a library with a lot more features than you need.

Also I don't know if you've seen how open source works, but chances are the number of people actively looking at the source code for these libraries to uncover bugs or security holes is very small to non-existent.
If this was a US loss, how could it have shown a win? Jail?
I also do not care for Biden, but, "the most loathsome human being we've ever elected President," is ignoring history.

There isn't a single president where unpleasant facts about their actions are not documented-- there wasn't a single pure and good president of the united states-- ever, nor even one who did not engage in activities which could be described as "loathsome".

Starting with George Washington who lead an insurrection on behalf of rich slave owners (to protect slavery) and murdered those who would not join his cause. A man who had his dentures made from human teeth torn from the faces of men he had enslaved.

Jefferson, who raped his slaves and enslaved his own children.

Lincoln, "the great emancipator" said, "If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it..." A man that went on to engage in genocide against the indigenous of what is now the United States.

Reagan who engaged in drug dealing to support illegal wars of aggression and his far-right death squads who tortured and murdered many thousands. A man who was instrumental in the genocide of 250,000 indigenous in Guatemala.

But, Johnson wins the prize for greatest single mass murder event, supported by a president, since the genocide of the indigenous in what is now the US. After the far-right dictator, Suharto came to power in a US backed coup. The US under Johnson provided surveillance information used to find and murder, millions of Indonesians who were guilty of the thought crime of belonging to the "wrong" political party (even far-right apologists acknowledge at least 500,000 murdered, but 1-2M is more credible).

Carter who armed and trained the mujahadeen to overthrow the liberal government that arose in Afghanistan after the 1978 revolution (under this left government, Afghan women had equal rights and universal suffrage and the literacy rate had soared). The funding, and arming of these jihadis was continued by Reagan and "pappa" Bush. Yes, the same ones that defeated the US military over the last 20 years. During the US occupation, Afghanistan was tied as second worse place to be a woman giving lie to any noise about US intervention being to improve the status of women.

"Baby" Bush who engaged in illegal wars of aggression against nations who had nothing to do with 911, but who the far-right e.g., the Heritage Foundation had long wanted to overthrow and in its place create a place free of any regulation that would prevent the rich and powerful from abusing those with less money and power-- they even had a plan ready for the invasion when the opportunity presented itself. "Baby" Bush who's regime engaged in illegal, immoral, and reprehensible torture, and displaced and murdered millions.

Every president in the history of the US has committed official, "loathsome", acts that would have landed an ordinary citizen in prison or the gas chamber.
Why would I spend CPU time doing useless work in order to give them strange coins that aren't money when i could just save the money and give it to them directly?
I think the poster anchored their argument better than what the post they replied to did, by comparison to other things. The post they replied to stated something to be an absolute truth without any support whatsoever.
Unless you're doing something mathematical, where you can exhaustively test every input and output and ship something that's essentially close to the platonic ideal of the thing, you're going to need to update.

Protocols change, programming languages change, human languages change, boarders change, definitions of time change, laws change, sensors change, and on and on.

It's like asking why a person can't be just done learning so they can live their life. Well, they can, but pretty soon the world is inaccessible to them. They can't use a computer or a phone because they stopped learning in 1995 and they're utterly dependant on others to do things for them.

But I will say this, I've long been thinking that there should at least be a programming language and OS that does its best to not change. A sort of whole environment where every single piece that's out of beta commits to minimal interface changes over time. Fixing security bugs and supporting new emojis, fine. We have to do stuff like that. But everything else is just as frozen as can be. It would be useful for super long term software. If we have buildings still around from 100 years ago we should be able to build for 100 years from now without a team around for constant maintenance. Though I do not think it can ever be maintenance free.
