> What I found quite notable about Teams is that for all its flaws and issues, the core functionality is very, very solid! Calls never drop, noise suppression is quite good, it’s slow but rarely freezes/crashes etc.

That's funny, because it is exactly the opposite of my experience. Every day I have random issues with MS Teams: Call drops, microphone suddenly "does not work", which can be fixed by rejoining a call, so it cannot have been the microphone, noisy output from other call participants, cannot call anyone who is calling you at the same time, not showing that and not establishing a call when two individuals call each other, not showing any notification about anyone calling when being in a call already and the list probably goes on, as this is just what comes to mind right now.

> They know very well what would actually disqualify them with people who decide over its usage.

In my mind they are long disqualified and if I had a say, I would not even use it at all. So actually they do not seem to know what would disqualify them.
The invasion of Afghanistan should not be lumped in with Iraq.

The first had broad public support in both parties and in the public. ... over 90%. As well as support from NATO, the EU, and many other nations as it was an operation to get Osama Bin Laden after 9/11.

The invasion of Iraq was far more controversial and motivated by oil politics.

They are completely different animals.
Yeah. It's also how Ruby and Smalltalk do it. Lisp also does similar things. In these languages it doesn't even make sense to talk about operators. They don't exist. There are only methods, functions. General ideas represented by a few universal concepts. No special cases. Of course they can be overridden... It would have been strange if they couldn't. They're just normal methods or functions.
First of all, I didn't have to go into a waiting list to buy crypto.

Second of all, I didn't buy crypto because it will give me an infinite supply of money given to me by subordinates.

I buy crypto when I think it's undervalued. I sell when I think it's overvalued. Doesn't everyone????

I'm also not recruiting any subordinates. So sorry, but your pyramid scheme theory falls short.
China Weighs Opening Tencent, ByteDance Content to Search, Sources Say
The only time I used Kafka, it was involuntarily (included for the sake of fashion in some complicated IBM product, where it hid among WebSphere, DB2 and other bigger elephants) and it ran my server out of disk space because due to a bug ridiculously massive temporary files weren't erased. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed: just one more hazard to worry about.

Why would you do this manually? You also have to remember to check multiple configuration paths (e.g. override units), all of which can have an additional `.d` include directory. This is the price you pay for the flexibility systemd provides (and I argue it's much better than random System V-style shell scripts that can include anything at all, maybe even some remote scripts piped from curl to sh if developers was mad enough).

Just use `systemctl cat`, it prints the whole effective configuration.
Maybe you produce more children when you expect to lose some of them to bombings.

> Airbnb is a parasite and one of the first things cities should look at when rethinking their tourism strategies.

As someone who has traveled extensively, I agree entirely about "disneyland syndrome", and I'm one of those travelers that tries to avoid such things. I generally don't travel to places which are tourist destinations, in the first place. Regardless, my mode of travel is to try to meet people, stay long enough that I can live normally as a local, mostly buy groceries and cook, and work during the week only going out in the evenings and weekends.

AirBnB is essential to the way I travel, because it allows me to rent an apartment for a month that has normal apartment amenities like a basic kitchen. Many of the places I've visited have few or no hotels. One place I actually did stay in a hotel... the only hotel in the entire town, which also had the only restaurant in the entire town in it. In communities like this, someone offering you a room in their home or letting you rent their apartment while they are away is a critical pathway to being able to travel there in the first place and I don't think attracts the sort of people expecting a packaged experience.

From my perspective, AirBnB has enabled me and others like me to connect to the world and experience things that would be impossible otherwise, and at the same time has provided opportunities for those we interacted with along the way (I leveraged my network while traveling to help many of the people I met, connecting a budding craft brewer with resources to help them succeed, introducing a very good local photographer to english-language resources online to let them sell their photography, connecting someone who wanted to come to the US as an SWE with the right people so they could get hired and have their H1B sponsored, etc).

It's not really AirBnB, or rather what AirBnB is in essence, that's the issue, it's that it creates and enables a pathway for individuals to skirt location regulations to make a profit. Many of the places I visited had no regulations against short-term rentals because the idea that someone might do such a thing wasn't really on the mind of local regulators, but in key tourist destinations this is very much on the mind of local regulators, not the least of which because they can tax tourism directly via stays.
It was all shiny and nice until I started using it.

I stopped using Pop OS. I am using Linux Mint and I am very happy with it.

The main problem of the OS was its very poor power management. With Kubuntu/Mint, I get about 5.5 hours of battery backup from my laptop and when using Pop, I barely got 3. Yes, I get more than two hours more from using Kubuntu/Mint rather than Pop.

The wifi was problematic. I tried common fixes and they did not work. Internet was (testedly) slow always compared to other devices on the same network.

These are the main reasons why I decided to leave Pop OS. And then there are those problems which you get from using Linux distros in everyday life. They existed for Pop. This sounds vague. But things go wrong often. Regular Linux users will know.

Another major issue I must mention is freezing and outright crashing when the Pop Shop is launched. Installing something new was a costly endeavour. It was also a key factor in my decision to leave PopOS.

I have found Linux Mint to be the most usable, lowest maintenance distro out there (Arch requiring the highest maintenance). But I wanted my personal machine to look nice, so I tried Kubuntu, and I like it. I am not going back to Pop.

So it's Ubuntu (workstation) + Kubuntu / Mint (personal laptop) for me.

This is your reminder that being assigned to cover up the My Lai massacre was the thing that really jumpstarted Powell's career. His 2003 UN speech was part and parcel of what his career was built on.

Edited to add: he also appears to have lied under oath about his knowledge of the Iran-Contra affair.

Let's also not forget that he was not alone to push for the war. For younger people out there, the New York Times, of all media sources, was warmongering from Day 1.
I think the Go philosophy is probably healthier for an economy overall. I can't say whether that's really what's going on here with Cloudflare specifically, but it's an interesting way of framing the discussion. In particular, the thing that catches my eye is in the "Territory" section of the post, and the idea that in Go it's not "winner take all".

A good Go player won't necessarily beat a less good one by a lot, but will consistently take more territory by the end. Or, as one of my Go strategy books put it: think about a kid cutting a brownie in half to share - they want to give themselves a bit more, but if you're too greedy and try to take a large fraction of it, mom won't let you and you'll end up losing out.

I like the idea that in the economy, good ideas and good companies win more often, in that they get the most marketshare, but not necessarily by a lot.
> All of us have strengths and weaknesses and we spend a lot of time talking about ‘areas of improvement.’ It can be easy to feel like the best way to advance is to eliminate all of those

I struggle with this. All the time.

I always find it difficult to strike a balance between leveraging my strengths and filling gaps in my weaknesses. For the large part of my career, my attention was directed on the latter: constantly trying to improve myself based off of feedback from friends, family, colleagues, managers, etc.

But now ... I'm a solo entrepreneur and lately, I've been actually flexing a lot more of my strengths, identifying characteristics about myself that give me an edge. Of course, I'm not blind to my weaknesses (I think about it all the time) but I do agree that we should lean more into our strengths.
I find it interesting that you frame fighting in Vietnam as something admiral. I can understand why those drafted against their will may have chose the option but surely the most admiral thing to do would have been to refuse and suffer the consequences?

This is all true, but all these argument are 98% the same for a.plus(b), which is common in widely used libraries and the Java stdlib.

So why is a.plus(b) better than a + b? What would be the problem of translating "a + b" automatically into a.plus(b) like how Kotlin does it?

I haven't thought about Mudge in a long time. If you've ever worked cybersecurity for the government, or in general, you owe him, Brian Oblivion, Space Rogue and the other members of L0pht for opening the door. They were pioneers of responsible disclosure, and brought the problem to light when they testified to Congress in 98 that in 30 minutes they could shut down the Internet. He and the others had uncovered DoS, specifically a BGP DoS that would automatically cascade across the Internet.

Mudge was a musical prodigy and an alum of BBN, one of the key players in creating ARPAnet. His bio is fascinating, and you can find a good treatment of it here: https://www.cybersecurityeducationguides.org/peiter-zatko/
YMMV but to me it seems like most Java features are better optimized than the Kotlin equivalent.
Not really. It's a win for CloudFlare, it's a win for capitalism, and yes, it's a temporary win for consumers.

But two years from now CloudFlare could be doing the exact same stuff Amazon is doing now, and customers are locked in again, because no source code.
Some truly wild comments in this thread. The moral self-righteousness of the commenters here is really something to behold. I'm particularly saddened by so many of the obviously partisan comments.

From my recollection it was Barack Obama who continued the conflict in Afghanistan and was responsible for scores of extra-judicial assassinations throughout the world.

And while many people died in the Afghanistan conflict and it was a terrible tragedy, the silver lining was that many women gained new liberties. Education wasn't just for men, for awhile. Of course Joe Biden put a stop to that, didn't he?

Colin Powell did plenty of bad things, but the same folks crucifying him probably have a copy of "Dreams from my Father" in their library and have absolved the equally complicit left-leaning politicians of any crimes.

Every single national politician is a self-interested, amoral, shit-bag. Lionizing one side while pillorying the other is not helpful. All politicians should have less power, less influence and less money, across the board. Only then will things get better.

> [2] Notice that seeing consteval here tells you absolutely nothing: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/bWzd4v6Y1

In that example marking bar as consteval does nothing. Because you are not ever calling bar... Calling bar shows that it's not possible because foo is not constexpr:

note: non-constexpr function 'foo<int>' cannot be used in a constant expression
consteval T bar(T x) { return foo(x); }

Marking foo as constexpr makes it compile and compile time evaluate both foo and bar.

> Replace consteval with constexpr and you'll see it told you absolutely nothing about bar()'s CTE'ability. Observe how the callee used constexpr and bar() failed to CTE despite being constexpr: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/odqbT7x9j

It doesn't compile because foo is not constexpr. Marking foo as constexpr makes it compile and foo and bar are evaluated at compile time. It produces this ASM:

main: # @main
pushq %rbp
movq %rsp, %rbp
movl $0, -4(%rbp)
movl $0, -8(%rbp)
xorl %eax, %eax
popq %rbp
retq

No, the visibility of `foo` is the same in both examples. Python’s `if` statements do not introduce a new scope.

It's old vs young, new vs established. For most homeowners, their home is their most valuable asset. It's just not possible to simultaneously maintain high property values and have affordable housing.

Given this, any "solution" to housing affordability is "solving" a problem that a sizable and highly influential segment of the population doesn't want solved. On the contrary, you see real government action whenever home prices fall.
Are you sure that's your point? It's a bit strange how you "believe" that it is your point. Surely you should know it for sure?
I can understand your point, but I mainly approached the concept as prototype 1 to ready for prototype 2 with AR. I fully expect to eventually see 3D models projected into the world on every aisle (like Pokémon Go).

Couple of use cases for this might be for the not so tech savvy (elderly).

The other main use case would be sharing your view of the virtual world with another person without sharing privacy defying live video. Your wife would see the virtual aisle (metaverse), and the virtual product(s). The hope is she might be able to even just say ‘actually you know what, just get the other thing on the top shelf to the right’.

Virtual projections could also say ‘follow me, I’ll take to you to the right aisle’. That would be even better for finding locations on the street where right now we rely on a compass essentially.

I also live in (UK's) Cambridge. For now. Extensions to the transport network to reduce the car traffic are blocked by NIMBYs. Relocation of a sewage plant gets fought by NIMBYs. And every day, the university enjoys subtracting rent from companies with their iron hold over land they've owned for the centuries since their law mandated monopoly on higher education. It's a small city with a low verticality. Cambridge is not willing to accommodate growth.

I guess the war was nobody's doing, huh? Powell just jumped on the bandwagon when was was already inevitable.

This is one of many obituary posts on HN I've seen a ton of hate and accusations on, along with questions like "why does everyone venerate the dead regardless of their acts in life?"

Some of us have a different threshold than others for at what point a life is valuable, and the loss of that life tragic.

While there can be a time and place for discussions of the 2003 UN performance, calling someone a war criminal, ragging on our military, and so forth — this is really the absolute last place for you to take out those grievances. There's always plenty of other threads, and you can create your own.

There's an old adage of "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all." I don't generally believe that, and in fact HN's willingness to lay valid and accurate criticism is one of its best qualities, but attached to news of a person's death — a controversial person even — is the last place it belongs.
Sadly the easy way out. Should have been jail...
Do they disagree with any arguments, or just wishful thinking? My Lai and the UN are just the most glaring examples of him putting his career before everything else.

I still don't understand how a person who tried to cover up (in the most laughably inept manner) the massacre of civilians by the US Army didn't spend the rest of his life as a pariah, let alone get positive press in the media for decades. Then add in his lying to the UN to start a war and you wonder if there's no crime that can't be forgiven as long as that person supports the powers that be.
Let me tell you. I was a poor boy growing in a tourist city in a latin american country. It was a small town, a bit sophisticated, so we got the cream of the tourism business: Upper middle class families.
Indeed, plenty of money flowed into the city. But, it was not distributed equaly. Social mobility was almost null, because tourism have lots of jobs, but most of them low skill jobs.

Then, there's this permanent humiliation of feeling like a servant in your home-town, because the local upper class makes very clear to you peons, that you're less important than the tourists, and they also think this very clearly.

Any business not related to tourism is basically discouraged, because it could "change the character of our lovely paradise".

Basically, unless you're rich and have business in tourism, tourism is not that great. Yeah, it puts food on the table when you're poor, but so other jobs that you could have if it were not for the damned tourists that make you a second class citizen in your own place of living.
To help keep things grounded, here’s the UN’s definition of war crime:

https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/war-crimes.shtml

Before throwing around the accusation of “war criminal”, take a look and try to determine which crime the accused committed.

A politician lying on a grave matter may be reprehensible or even unforgivable, but let’s not debase language with undue exaggeration.
What I find interesting is that this author was listed among the top ten "feminist" writers.

In defense of the short-sighted public (me), I don’t know the operating costs, profit requirements, accounting model, etc of a hired car service. I can’t assume any time the price of a product goes down, that someone is trying something shady.

If I correctly interpret your definition of “the public” to mean “the common men and women using these services”: it’s a bit unfair to give them the blame, rather than pursue a failure of regulators or regulations.
