As a Drupal developer, I understand what this article is saying. The issue is that these systems are built for an older paradigm and not meeting the needs of today's developers. It's taking time to adjust existing code to the new ways, and the developer crowd that built them is interested in new things.

Some projects need the rapid development capability of a CMS, but want the front end flexibility of a js app.

The problem is that the plumbing produced by these systems are geared to serve whole pages, and not an API first app. We've added the ability to layer an app on top of the CMS, but most of the content and admin pages don't fully use ajax (at least in drupal).

The reason for the current problem is that these open source frameworks required a ton of contribution to become successful. That effort has moved on to new projects with fresh architecture. But those still don't have nearly the same level of features as traditional platforms.

One of the challenges I see for building the perfect system is having all the front end features and components integrated. In Drupal, a module may add a component with template and some css/js. Other modules are free modify or mix this component with others, so the data model, styles, and js all need to be compatible. Drupal solves this by standardizing on jquery, which was a wonderful solution for the last decade but now people don't want to use it.

I think to get the same level of compatibility in a js app, you would have to define the components to be included by the system. These are the batteries they currently don't include. It's less of a technology issue and more of a challenge of defining standard ways of doing things that are not overly opinionated.

I would love to have an easy point and click CMS that lets me quickly assemble 80% and a streamlined development experience for the rest. I can imagine something integrated with the cloud and IDE that is super quick and cheap to spin up a complex application.

Sorry if I'm just complaining about drupal in a django thread. I think the issue for both is whether we can get where we want from here or if recreating the ideas in a new language will get more traction. Or if these platforms are good enough, they'll continue to have a place in the back end, allowing users to manage content and data for custom apps.
This also exists on FB. If anything, the only reason people are aware of it on twitter is because it's not as much of an enclave as it is on FB.

See, for instance, "cryptic pregnancy" communities on FB, which are definitely hotbeds of mental illness.
Inheritance. That’s the term you are looking for.

In many countries, we still tax it 65%, to ensure a one-time success doesn’t become a “monopoly” of some families over generations.

Likewise for companies. we can’t tax them per generation, but the monopoly laws are here to dismantle them if they keep hold on a market without ongoing “coup de maître” on innovation.
> How could the growth of answering machines be connected to the break-up of AT&T, which was about separating local from long-distance service?

I believe they are talking about AT&T's ability to impose rules over what devices could be connected to the telephone network, and how. That's one of the reasons that both early answering machines (like the one you linked to) and modems used acoustic couplers. It's true, though, that court cases had eroded how tightly AT&T could control what devices could be connected to phone jacks well before the breakup of the Bell System. Still, 1200 baud modems were only possible with a direct connection, and didn't become commercially available until the year after the Bell System breakup.
Actually Ruby 2.5 w/o MJIT is faster than Python 3.8 and Perl 5.28 at prime number crunching (using quite mundane stuff: basic math + for loops + hash/dict + array operations) but Node/V8, Dart and Luajit are still an order of magnitude faster along with the added JIT penalty. Racket, Julia and Lua are somewhere in between. The story used to be quite different two years ago, with Ruby being slower than both Perl and Python.

It’s easy to imagine that ssns are in search results. Eg it’s plausible that when you search for a teacher, the returned html contains tags with id where that is the primary key in the DB, which happens to be the Ssn etc.

Huh? This is a thread discussing the hosting costs of kubernetes. I get it, you've got an axe to grind and will apparently do so at any opportunity but I don't see how it's relevant to the discussion.
Now that's a proper clipped and precise explanation.
Or you could just use PyPy, which uses a garbage collector, does more compile-time analysis, and runs much faster.

CPython is a naive interpreter, like original JavaScript. There's been progress since then.
Sometimes the rocket fails but the astronaut makes it back (Apollo 13). Sometimes the goggles fail, and the soldier misjudges a drop and breaks his leg, or walks into a known blast radius and dies, or misidentifies and kills a civilian.

Either way, if this is worth doing -- and I agree with you that it's a big, big if -- it is worth doing right.
Eh, I disagree. I'd hate to accidentally enable one of the things shut off by those switches. Software controls are likely adequate for day-to-day "I just don't want tracking here or there" events, but the physical hardware switch should give you an "I don't want this happening ever" comfort, which is best done by something more secured behind a cover.

Tech's big bad morale problem
Supposedly multitasking and hyper-focus are two distinct and differently useful skills that can't be done at the same time. Hyper-focus tends to lean towards STEM. Boys tend to lean towards hyper-focus.

Whether this is cultural or biological is questionable, but given the natural duties of the common sexes (male/female)... it's definitely not unfeasible that the critic with options (and children) would multi-task, while the performer would be more focused on a single task.
I don't know why the OP's comment is "dead" but here it is:

Yes. I once discovered that CPickle was not thread-safe. The response was that much of the library didn't really work in multi-threaded programs.

This is just whataboutism. Many of us are concerned about both things.
The theories are endless but the root cause remains the same. Management sees Devs/QAs as low grade disposable workers. The fact that anyone with a 2-day certificate and some contacts ends up managing dev teams is not because they duped management but because management didn´t care at all from the get go.

Facebook's Blacklists Are Another Way to Constrain Competition
That road analogy fails pretty quickly. If we wanted to follow that direction then it would like owning a home where there are 20 roads directly in front of your house and you can choose any one of them but you keep choosing Apple/Amazon/Facebook/Google

For example I just moved and had to buy lots of stuff. I ordered from Macy's, Walmart, Target, Wayfair, and Amazon.

It's trivial to use Bing or Ducduckgo over Google. When a search engine starts doing better for me I'll switch.

As for Facebook, plenty of people using other services to stay connected
Completely agree. If you don't like a service, stop using it.
It seems that you can still post from the web version of Instagram on mobile (just tested it now on Android Chrome) — I should imagine that it still works in the DevTools mobile emulator (though you do have to refresh the page).

Using the Instagram PWA may be a viable way of using Instagram on mobile Linux. Still can't seem to post stories on the PWA, though.

> The study says the exact opposite:

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the study. I interpreted that as being among the fraction of people who are infected both because that's what the title says, and because they say later that "75% of the
positive samples were from unvaccinated individuals" which would seem to be inconsistent with the groups having similar viral loads.

I thought we were dealing with a random variable composed something like this

VIRAL_LOAD = INFECTED ? LOAD_FOR_INFECTED : LOAD_FOR_UNINFECTED

And the study is saying that the random variable `LOAD_FOR_INFECTED` isn't correlated with vaccination status. That's indeed an interesting fact, but since `INFECTED` still was correlated (I think) overall for some random person `VIRAL_LOAD` would be too. Honestly a table would make all of this more clear.
If it’s your code, wouldn’t an image of said code be a derived work, and as such you’d retain the copyright? I don’t think one could argue that a screenshot of a copyrighted work is a “transformative” use.

IANAL.

Facebook rents out an appearance of legitimacy akin to that of a news organization to whatever content makes it the most money.

Yes, we would go back from platforms to protocols and the internet would be good again.

As for when a technology become good? There are a lot of possible criteria, but that doesn't really matter we can come up with a fuzzy cut off and any transparent criteria for it would be preferrable to the current state.
I love Python, and I love Django, but I think async support would be a bad idea personally.

I’ve written a lot of things using asyncio and steered into it hard when it was first stable, but I’ve found it cumbersome and (zooming out) pretty unnecessary in the grand scheme of things.

Asyncio is cooperative concurrency where you’re supposed to politely yield back to the event loop when you’re blocking on IO, but the event loop doesn’t bawk (that I’ve seen) when things are blocking accidentally. I’ve chased a number of very real bugs around this in production and I will say it’s some of the most infuriatingly difficult to pin down set of bugs I’ve encountered to date (for example, redis is fast enough to not notice any issues until your redis query grows slow enough that you do, and at that point things behave strangely with no clear indication why).

Remember, even printing things to stdout is still technically a blocking IO operation. Same with reading/writing any files. Lots of issues can crop up in weird ways with stuff like this.

On the other hand, the “boring” Python threading library is preemptive concurrency, meaning your libraries can’t hold things up even if you wanted to. In general give me preemptive concurrency any day - I find it easier to carefully code around state mutations than diagnose why a library might be blocking the event loop. I haven’t noticed a massive perf difference between the two and to guarantee that I don’t have weird “you’re blocking accidentally” sorts of issues means I’ll stick with threads any day of the week.

Also exception handling in asyncio land is (again just from my experience, it’s been a couple years) not great, I subscribe to the mantra of letting things crash, but things silently crashing is a deep seeded behavior change that seems to go against the Python mantra of “throw exceptions and let things fail”.

For now I keep things boring with Python, and if I need massive concurrency just rewrite things in elixir (which is preemptive concurrency and the actor model which is super powerful as a combo).

What makes you say that? We are all followers (how do you think we learned from our teachers?). We all choose what sources to trust implicitly and which to question, and most of us don't use logic-based methods for making that choice.

That's false. Vault has integrated storage and no longer needs Consul.

If you want to have the Enterprise versions( which aren't required), you just need 1 each of Nomad, Consul, Vault. Considering many people use Vault with Kubernetes anyway(due to the joke that is Kubernetes "secrets"), and Consul provides some very nice features and is quite popular itself, that's okay IMHO. Unix philosophy and all.

Most Canadians can stop using it then

This entire topic is very silly. Parents are free to forbid their kids from using it. Adults can make their own decisions.

What it is starting to become is that people want other people to stop using it because they want them to consume the content that they see fit.

You're comparing a school requirement for children, with extensively studied and venerable vaccines (which are not RNA based) to a government mandate on all federal workers, and soon to include the private sector as well (ie get it or get fired)? Seriously?

I can home school my child, but cutting off peoples livelihood is not the same.

If you cannot see that, then there is no reasoning with you.

You seem to be upset (ie cursing etc), you should perhaps consider that your anger is clouding your judgement.

With advanced degrees becoming more and more common, it's also more and more likely the nurse seeing you has the same number of years of schooling as the doctor.

I made a comment recently addressing these very things.

My contention summarized is that using market share as it has historically been used is not good, because these software-based companies can scale to much greater power than ever before whereas in the past, one had to gain significant market share to wield the same or even less power.
The article says she declined to comment, and her attorney would only say that she was no longer with Apple. So that info is (at best) second-hand info.
My thoughts on "good, fast, cheap, pick (at most) two":

2) There's no such thing as "good, slow, and cheap" and if there is, that person is booked for the next 30 years

> is there any value anymore in promotions when the market seems to reward job hopping every few years?

Depends entirely on the company. Big tech companies are very good at promotions and retention.

The rewards of job hopping also saturate quicker than people expect. Push it too far and it starts to become a negative. When an employer sees a resume that has a new job every 10-12 months for the past 6 years, they're going to assume the employee will be temporary at their own company, as well.
And yet, they're still operating. This is the kind of thing that makes me think the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem is a house of cards. Cryptocurrency advocates seem to be really bad at spotting and punishing incompetent and malicious actors in their markets.
We’re not firing you for that you’re being fired for one of the literally hundred thousands of reasons we can fire you for. Side note, It’s really disappointing that even after all the memos, you weren’t putting cover letters on your TPS reports.

(in this case the claimed reason is firing for deleting things from work devices while under investigation)
In addition to the fact that the very idea of NFTs is a scam, Valve doesn't want to enable money-laundering lest financial regulators drop the hammer on them. Banning any games that involve real-world assets (or anything easily convertible to a real world asset like crypto) is just smart business given current financial regulations.

It also gives them a complete monopoly on their internal marketplace, so that's a nice bonus.
I‘m more interested in geometric structures / architecture, so the sculpt mode isn‘t very useful as I realized today (after watching a video about it). This is all about taking a sphere with lots of vertices and pushing them around. I‘m looking for a way to fill gaps in meshes and deal with relative simple low-poly geometries. Ideally with semantics (a thing is placed on a floor). What should I use for that? Are there plugins thatbpush Blender towards CAD (which I know nothing about)?
How is this interesting? There are download numbers from farmed accounts - these likely are to boost app ranking in App Store categories and search. This does not impact the revenues as far as I can see. Matt pointed out that they should first complete the work to remove the farmed downloads from metrics before using numbers publicly. Most mundane work thread I’ve read all day.
Maybe women are just more interested in learning than men! It could just be a matter of “preferences” and that’s fine, right?

Edit: For the sake of clarity, my comment was tongue-in-cheek as it's the justification I repeatedly see whenever gender imbalance/inequality is mentioned on HN. I think it's patently ridiculous to say that one gender is for some reason more interested in learning than another.
There are already many effective processes that have been developed, schools however don't want to implement them for varying reasons (blind marking for example).

An example from Daniel Kahneman's Noise (I'm paraphrasing) - When university faculty was told of their bias in marking from hunger/mood/normal daily human sways, why didn't the first person marking it write the grade on the back so the second couldn't see it until the end: They responded that they used to do it that way, but it caused arguments.
