Google moving away from Java has nothing to do with Oracle. That lawsuit was about an old Sun license of Java that was thought to be hurt by Google.

Since then, Java was completely open-sourced, having the same license as the Linux kernel, so there is nothing stopping android from using it. The preference for kotlin comes from the fact that Android’s Java is barely at OpenJDK’s Java 8 versions, making syntactic sugars all that much more important there.
If you say it was a sincere question then I believe you, but it didn't come across that way - I'm afraid it came across as snarky provocation.

We're trying for a forum in which people exchange ideas thoughtfully and respectfully. Especially when the topic is divisive (as religion always is), it's deeply necessary to err on the side of the latter. Hopefully reading the site guidelines will clarify that! Note this one:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

YouTube video has no title, description, or comments section
Originally posted on Reddit [1], this video appears to not have a title, description, or comments section. After doing some research, it seems like [2] this video was posted by the YouTube Channel Emre Kerabark [3] and all of their videos [4] act the same. For example [5], [6], and [7]. When you go to the channel, YouTube says that the channel is not available. Going by the Wayback Machine [8], it looks like the channel was taken down between May 23rd 2019 and March 6th 2020. The channel post-username-to-id-change should be listed here [9] but isn't. I'm thinking this is probably a bug.

Random question, is it just me or is programming significantly easier now with all of our modern tools. Even within my own lifetime, I find newer programming languages such as NodeJS to be infinitely easier than C++.

Although occasionally I'll see some scripting frameworks which actually appear to imitate the older keyword based style.

Thank you for sharing by the way. I hope one day someone can learn from my old code
I'm a counterexample. I was hesitant about getting vaccinated for covid because it was developed so quickly and all medical interventions carry some risk, so you shouldn't completely abandon decision-making. I eventually got vaccinated because it felt like the risks favored that. But at that time, in my country, only 1 person this year had died from covid and also 1 person had died from the vaccine (yes, the vaccine does kill people occasionally). In a covid-free country, the relative risk of vaccine is much higher.

Also, orthodox Jews are idiot conspiracy theorists? Yes, I guess so. People neglect to include Jews when they criticize religious people because they have their favorite demonized religion (Christianity) and somehow venerate the others.
The United States has a lot more leverage than Canada on these sorts of things, and back when this all happened people were much less negative on China.
I strongly suspect that BMW et al have actually timed it perfectly.

Volume and demand for electric vehicles has not quite hit a tipping point, but just at the right time they've come out with the i3, which has really beaten Tesla in quite a few different aspects. Ditto the Ford Lightning or what have you.

IMO the car companies are actually not quite as naive as we've come to think. They robably have internal roadmaps ready for the next 10+ years of electric releases.

I expect they will ramp up to a "Tesla killer" at just the right time.

Um, you might want to erase the “affordable” in your last sentence. South Korea also has a pretty serious housing bubble issue right now, it is really hard for a newly married couple to get a Jeonse [1] on an apartment in Seoul (unless your parents are rich).

And you really need to be careful when comparing South Korea’s housing market with other countries. It has its own unique properties that would probably make no sense at all to outsiders at first glance.

I'm not sure if this subission was entered into the second-chance queue before or after this comment, but HN did put its thumb on the scale here, as it does from time to time.

If I understand this correctly, it's like a DNS amplification attack. They are involved in a case and they are claiming that these proportedly unrelated parties have information vital to their defence. They are using the court to send subpoenas on their behalf and consume their enemies resources until either they fold or tell them everything they want to know.
I suppose people use SSB mainly for social network, so each "site" can be the wall of the users, with posts and comments submitted by the users or their friends.

But you're right, SSB is more broad as a generic p2p message protocol (and zeronet is a generic p2p site protocol)
"In March it announced a deal with Microsoft to build such a system. This could, over the course of a decade, cost a staggering $21.9bn."

Compared to the current AR/VR market, this is actually staggering.

The impact of the military cross fertilization to Microsoft's hololens efforts is actually going to be so significant.

Feel like this is a symbol of a trend on a number of fronts. Amazon's inept navigation of the US Government procurement process stands in stark contrast to the revenues Microsoft has gained from US government collaboration.

The military industrial complex is definitely going to influence a number of industries, AR is only one, in the coming decades. The US Government signing a few whopper contracts will tilt multiple industries.

This isn't a problem on Fedora Workstation. .flatpak, .flatpak-ref, .flatpak-repo, and .rpm files can all be opened directly and installed in GNOME Software. And if an app isn't showing up, then the dev either isn't shipping a .desktop file or isn't installing it correctly.

Yes. Many people have an overwhelming expectation that a partner will fix everything.

I mean, often my wife is the only person I see for a several hour stretch. And it's somewhat sad and lonely when I experience something and it's not really something I can share fully with her -- because it's deep and specialized and nuanced in somewhere that I've obsessed.

But-- how can anyone expect that of anyone? How boring would life be if I'd found such a close twin of myself that all the weird, esoteric stuff that amuses me made sense to her? She brings her own perspective and abilities, and the cost of this is that I don't get to see myself and my little obsessions mirrored every second in her.

A partner can bring an awful lot, but they can't bring everything all of the time.

Rob is right that in RGB cube 3 points always form a triangle. However, that color space does not include "true" purple (or violet), which is defined as light with shorter-than-blue wavelength, it only includes magenta = red + blue, and apparently Rob does not understand the difference.

The question is not why magenta is close to red - this is obvious, - but why magenta and violet are perceived similar by human eye, and that cannot be possibly explained by "cyclic nature of triangle" in RGB cube (simply because there is no violet in that colorspace at all).
Your post is extremely misleading and full of false information.

I’ve been using a small VPS (sub $10/month) to self host mail for at least 10 years, and I’ve migrated hosts a few times without issue.

I’ve even migrated to a “polluted” IP on a different provider and getting that removed from RBLs took a couple of emails and the entire process honestly took less than a week.
I did some calculations, with an estimated 3% annual failure rate per drive.

The numbers shift a bit depending on how much you expect drive failures to correlate and how long you take to replace them.

So I analyzed two example cases, using pretty good math based on a binomial distribution.

The first case is a pessimistic one, where after a drive fails we assume that any other possible failures from the next year will hit before we finish rebuilding. In this case, 8 drives with double parity have a 1/740 chance of array failure each year. If we switch to triple parity, we can have 16 drives and a slight improvement in safety.

The second case is a more optimistic one, where after a drive fails we assume that any other possible failures from the next week will hit before we finish rebuilding. In this case, 8 drives with double parity have a 1 / 93 million chance of array failure each week. If we switch to triple parity, we can have 40 drives and a slight improvement in safety.

I would have done "what if all the drive failures happened at once" but that gives >10% odds of an 8 drive array failing, which seems unreasonably harsh.

Depends really on the Personality traits and Needs of the 2 people involved. Some differences complement each other. Some dont.

And that too depends on the type of problem the couple faces which is not static and changes from year to year. The same couple that complement each other in one situation can be completely hopeless together in another.

So its all about Awareness and Communication of what your traits, needs, strenths and weaknesses are.

Obviously thats non trivial cause the chimp brain is not really designed for such things. The brain looks outward not inward. It takes much more work to look inward.

So all chimps fail a test to produce a list of their personality traits and needs, strengths and weakness wrt to different situations
that matches what their partner will produce of them and vice versa.

Couples that minimize that gap, and its lifelong hard work, are usually the most long lasting.
> 1) congratulations, you won the VPS provider lottery

I'm not the person you are responding to, but honestly it's not that hard. I used to subscribe to a VPS which recycled its IPs formerly used by spammers, but now I use a company which is way more vigilant about blocking spammers. Not all IP ranges are rife with spammers, so all you need to do is run cheap tests with a few VPS companies to find a good solution.

In a good relationship, people get excited for each other!

When Person B is happy and/or geeking out over something...

Person A doesn't have to love or even care about every detail of the thing itself. But Person A should be genuinely excited that Person B is happy about something and should take some interest in the thing, if only to understand why it makes Person B happy.

I have had a lot of bad relationships.

The greatest thing a partner can give you is encouragement and motivation in your daily tasks and challenges.

We form partnerships and relationships not to have our counter-parties do the work for us, but so that we can discuss, share,console, and motivate each other in our respective journeys.

I don't think the fundamental test of a relationship often is what we do for each other, although of course in sickness and in health comes into that.

I think the fundamental test is what we discuss with each other.

Whether the most important questions in life are something two people think about together, that's what matters.

If secular therapy needs to provide a view from nowhere in order to fill a need, then I'd say you're right. But it seems like the goal here instead is to provide an alternative for people who are disillusioned with the answers their religion was able to provide, and who no longer feel that other religious people are trustworthy. There's quite a few people like that in America right now.
I’m skeptical of this last sentence; I’m not sure that science is so responsive to new data either. After the myriad papers published on the replicability crisis, citation rings and the like, academic institutions have failed to change substantially with regards to either structure or process.

I suppose 318 hp per tonne being soccer mom category was hyperbole.
To save anyone else who is reading this late trying to work this out in their head, the hp/tonne of the 2007 Nissan GTR was less than 280 hp/tonne and had 0-97 km/h in 3.2 seconds-ish.

318 hp per tonne is plausible for a soccer mom vehicle, but it would be a beast.

Yes it can, if you let people invest into development projects at the venture stage. (This carries inherent risk, of course, but not as much as you think.)
That seems to be correct, NextJS already has SSR and static capabilities like you say.
> It’s certainly possible, for some problems, to automate the problem away. But other problems (for instance, finding and fixing bugs) cannot be fully abstracted, often requiring user input.

I think that's not the right way to look at it. It's just that a task that's automated no longer needs a dev. Thus we only work on things not (yet) automated.

As a corollary, easy-to-replace parts inevitably become replaced with hard-to-replace parts, because those are the ones that stay.

This kind of thing does happen in the wild, through no fault of anyone in arms' reach, in particular when service APIs change in subtle and unexpected ways.

You might have a service that yesterday returned a JSON payload:

{ tasks: 5, ... }

but today returns:

{ tasks: [{...}, ...], ...}

If you had an array of these objects and were trying to sum the count of tasks, now your code returns weird results. Knowing how the JS engine's type coercion works is then invaluable for figuring out the problem quickly.

Yes, it's shitty code, and a change of API like that is shitty. But we don't always get to choose what code we're interfacing with, particularly when it comes to web services.
As with the HN rule to not accuse the writer of not having read the article, I fear we're moving towards a point where we will need a similar rule that discourages people from accusing others of being GPT3 (seriously, going beyond the obviously insulting aspect of the accusation, why would anyone bother to do that - the economic value of a fictitiously constructed HN account is negligible at best)

> Whenever you can shut down any discussion with "god willed this" or similar then rationality will suffer.

Yes, but being religious does not automatically mean that you have to shut down any discussion with "god will this" (although some religious people are, not all religious people are).

There are less rational people among both religious and nonreligious. (Although, the nonreligious will not say "God willed this", that does not necessarily mean that they will not say a different answer that is just as worthless as the religious answer.)
I have no problem believing that religion may serve useful social and cultural functions. Unfortunately, this article is founded on findings in social psychology, and we already know that social psychology is largely bunk[0].

What are the chances that this "meditation leads to kidness" result (with a total of 39 participants) would actually stand up to attempts to replicate it?
