COVID has also:

1: given parents a taste of new options for schooling their children. Many people tried tried out homeschooling and are planning to continue. This move decouples K12 education from real estate decisions and provides even more incentive to have a work/life balance that allows parents to be more involved in their kids' education.

2: let people vote with their feet more easily WRT state income taxes. People realized that they can now move to a low/no-tax state and take home a lot more money. Even if you take a 10 percent pay cut to move elsewhere, everything is cheaper than in SF/NYC. Your take-home pay is the same since there's no state income tax, and you can afford much more house/car/vacation/etc. in your new location.
Hi. I want to give the following example. In the context of dentistry, the vast majority of information is not free. This information is mainly needed by doctors who want to develop. Mostly novice doctors want to develop. Only experienced doctors can find a good job. Experience is gained only by those who want to develop, but there is no money until you get experience))) I believe that all training data should be free!
Definitely ethical!
The pandemic has shown the bureaucracy can move quickly when they want to. Although I'd argue the politicians share some of the blame for slow legislation when they want to avoid something. It's not always the behind the scenes bureaucrats that are the bottle neck.

What if part of the reason they got hooked on drugs was they were down on their luck 8-15 years ago, and she's only seeing the end result of chronic drug abuse? There's a high correlation between low SES and ice use. I know of three ice users in my broader circle and they're all very very poor but don't otherwise have mental health issues. Her impressions as a field doctor are useful but I am sceptical and this needs more rigorous study.
Ads would need to be split up further, as well. It's ridiculous that Google controls the marketplace, buying of ads on that marketplace, and selling ad placements.
the first three should expect a pay rise on average (similarly to what's happening), as most job changes are associated with a pay rise.

on 4: there is some systemic data that has been available for years that this is the case. Wouldn't be surprised for the awareness to have spread and people adapting accordingly.
Once you use concepts of origins and beginnings you can never escape the paradox of a) what existed before the beginning and b) what’s the source of all matter to begin with; a logical argument
My personal view: we are not capable of understanding what we should be talking about instead of these concepts
There were people defending AMP? Everything I've heard about it was backlash
Actually it started with Visual Age IDEs, then Eclipse, Monaco editor and finally VSCode, given Erich Gamma's background.

Intellisense is not that good. Intellicode is missing. Managing nugget packages is not so well integrated. It's harder to debug and investigate memory leaks. I can't see code coverage in the editor or run tests with right click straight from the method I want to test.

It's usable for sure but the development it's not as fast as in Visual Studio.

I still use VS Code if I want to modify some files like XML, json, yaml, and I don't want to fire another instance of Visual Studio for that.
Seconded. Firefox is better than ever. Can't believe there isn't a Chromium derivative with multi-select, table selection, and shift+right click. Containers are also incredibly useful.
Like it or not, 'IP' exists. By doing these kind of projects, sadly these people relinquish their rights.
They could be 1) fighting for change in these laws, 2) investing in free culture/software. Sadly, almost all of them don't.
They are happy to operate in that grey space as long as it is tolerated, but they should know that they are on borrowed time.
Big companies striking with absurd power at fan projects should help drive the point home, and should be the occasion to advocate for open standards.
Given that Google is critical for US intelligence supremacy and technological dominance, I am curious what the US chooses to do with it.

Surely from a free market perspective and for long term growth, it needs to be broken into pieces in such a manner that would destroy its monopoly power.
I would say: don't bother. It's good if you want to use emacs as well.
I think some English lessons are in order for whoever wrote this.
We wouldn’t have Rust either because why develop a new programming language when we already have programming languages?

I’m fact why even have Linux or macOS running atop x86 when we have perfectly good z80 micro computers running a BASIC interpreter…

I’m all for difference of opinions but that is clearly the dumbest one posted to HN in a long time.

I feel the exact same way for Viet cuisine.

Linux relies heavily on corporations using it.

Nope. Linux users care that they use Linux. They don't care if anybody else happens to use it or doesn't. There's no 'Linux Corporation' that has to maintain sales to survive.

What people prefer is not a popularity contest. If that was the case, looking at it from a cars analogy, nobody would ever buy 'unpopular' cars like Lamborginis or even Mercedes, they'd only buy Fords.
I don’t see the claims from Twitter matching the headline The Guardian is running. Twitter’s internal research is saying that certain tweets are organically more popular and engaging and more likely to be shown, not that the algorithm has an ideological bias. If you search for the word “bias” in Twitter’s post you’ll not find support for The Guardian’s editorialization. Here’s an important excerpt, which notes that more analysis is needed to understand whether the amplification is unnatural relative to user interactions:

> Algorithmic amplification is problematic if there is preferential treatment as a function of how the algorithm is constructed versus the interactions people have with it. Further root cause analysis is required in order to determine what, if any, changes are required to reduce adverse impacts by our Home timeline algorithm.

This study also leaves out a very important consideration, which is the impact of Twitter’s moderation along political lines. I suspect that’s where the true bias lies and given Twitter’s content policies reflect progressive ideology, it is very likely that bias leans left.

Sure but, I feel like you're gonna try and deeply litigate it so, I'm skeptical it'll be productive:

"What isn’t working is spending more money on it without changing behaviors. People are never going to [move] forward with their lives. You don’t want to be in a situation with public policy where you’re enabling really bad, destructive behavior."

It might sound kind of anodyne, but it's basically what leaders say when they're playing the personal responsibility card.
The recent Twitch earnings leak showed that 95% of streamers made less than $1,000 this year. Median earnings were less than $100 for the year. A lot of these "creator economy" think pieces talk about people hitting the seven figure jackpot, but the reality is that unless that distribution changes dramatically, it's not going to be a viable source of income for the overwhelming majority of people. Middlemen and service providers OTOH will make a killing on the sheer scale.
I agree with most of that (I don't think personal experiences play much of a part; it's more about culture IMO), but I read the comment as suggesting authenticity is meaningless, which is a sentiment I have heard before and very much reject
There's no shortage, technically, because supply and demand finds equilibrium, but that equilibrium is at an extremely high price which is pricing out everyone except the rich.
AMP does have better experience from the users perspective. The backlash is from the techies only.

I assumed that the non-amp websites were slower due to the JS bloat, I still despise what the Web pages has become, however it turns out Google wasn't a honest broker here and instead of providing a tool that helps them and the users, they provided a tool that helps them and harms the users and bullies the website owners. That's evil and drains the last bits of trust I had left for Google.

"Any guy"? No. At least tens of thousands if not more? Probably. How many African tech billionaires do you know of? And is it a coincidence that the only two I can think of from the entire continent of 1.3 billion people (over 4× of the US) are white Afrikaners? Probably not.
Correct, although for many (most?) of Jetbrains products it is free for students and one can apply for licenses for open source work.

That said, for most .Net devs I know the first thing they do after installing Visual Studio is installing Resharper just to get it up to the same level that IntelliJ (including the open source community edition), NetBeans and Eclipse (both open source) provide out of the box.
You've given this some thought.

What I don't understand is why you think cities should provide shelter for people who don't contribute to them.

If you can't make a city a better place - you should have shelter, somewhere cheap and distant. If you get your life together there, you can come and try living in a city again.

Living in a city should be a privilege, not a right - cities take a lot of work and if you aren't doing your part - it's ok and you should live with dignity and respect (because we have plenty of food and electricity to go around, for now), but you don't get to live off of other people's efforts by insisting that you get to stay in a city because you were born in one or whatever.

Cities are like night clubs, if you don't get the ratio of men to women right, the night club sucks. The same applies to productive and unproductive citizens.

Just because we can let anyone into a night club, doesn't mean it won't make it suck for everyone involved.

Following the night club analogy, what needs to happen is we need to lower the barrier to opening up new night clubs. There is no reason why we can't build new towns that make use of modern technology that people would flock to - it is not a resource issue, it is an imagination, competence and regulation issue (implementing land value tax to get rid of rent seeking on land), much like everything else in human society.

Json schema has a similar challenge, there is no header, in the json files themselves, indicating which schema is used.

The slightly dirty solution is https://www.schemastore.org/json/, where the IDE looks up schema from a global registry, using a fileMatch pattern.
Agreed. Similar speech-to-ad conversions have been happening for years now, and they are definitely not coincidences or confirmation bias.

Perhaps that's one of the reasons they have didn't switch to 64 bits earlier? If the IDE is a 64 bit process it can only render external components at design time if they are 64 bits. To be able to render 32 bit components at design time they would need to be hosted in another 32 bit process. I can see how that feature would be complicated and expensive to develop.
The funny thing is that the 2-3 month notice period was created so that people don't quit.

That is one of the reasons I dislike guest languages, the communities tend to have a culture of rebuilding the underlying stack, as if not appreciating that it is what allows their favourite language to exist in first place.
equating it to be merely like HTTPS in terms of publishers giving up control over their content.

Where did you read that? I was under the impression that SXG is more similar to things like IPFS, where you can have content signed by its origin (or in IPFS, content addressed by its hash). Once that is achieved, any other site (e.g. a CDN like Google or Cloudflare) can cache and serve it securely and with authentication.

You can sign whatever content you want with SXG, it isn't limited to AMP.
Reminds me of the sponsoring VPN companies do on YouTube. Making creators say stuff in the line of "VPNs protect you from viruses". It's an unethical praxis of spreading dangerous misinformation for the sake of financing their channels.

What is interesting about the Roman Catholic Church in this context is that its internal power was never as large as when its political power was at its lowest, and vice versa: the doctrin of papal infallibility was made official by the First Vatican Council that had to flee Rome when in 1870 the troops of Vittorio Emanuele II. concered the church state that had subsequently been dissolved (until the Vatican as a political entity was reinstituted by Mussolini in 1929). In contrast, during the Middle Ages, when the pope's political power was at its peak, papal power had always been challenged externally by secular powers and internally by antipopes, heretics, numerous reform movements and the majority belief that a general council is superior to the pope.
At least to people who die from Covid. The article mentions that they would need to take blood samples every 10 minutes for a week, to find out.
Be careful what you want. Perhaps the Teslas that these fans drive should have the Autopilot always active.
The blow to property values would be lessened though by the fact that you don't have to see "homelessness" every time you eat at an outdoor restaurant or walk your dog.
> Have you ever belonged to a club or nonprofit or something?

Yes, I have. Actually I'm part of the founding team of a nonprofit engaged in developing software to make parliamentarians' voting behavior transparent for their constituency.

Voter apathy is a depressing fact I'm confronted with almost every day. The sad truth is that many people ... simply don't care. The reason we founded votelog is to make people understand what their representatives are up to and make better decisions.

> If you don't vote every year, you might not have noticed?

I try to vote as often as I have the chance to and cherish everyone participating in an informed way in our democracies. Unfortunately for many people, voting is not a duty to be fulfilled but a right to be enjoyed. Just having the right is enough for them.

I guess I'm a bit jaded because I still haven't found out how to make them care to actually fulfill the duty.
I think the incredible stock market gains and home price growth over the past few years have helped a lot of people feel confident leaving their jobs for a sabbatical that otherwise might not. I know in my own case, even if a lot of the nominal growth is due to devaluation of the dollar, seeing a 7 figure balance on my net worth statement for the first time has definitely put swagger into my step over the last year or so. I haven't quit yet, but I wouldn't hesitate if something changed and I stopped enjoying my job.
The problem is once you give someone arbiter powers for determining misinformation it’s going to be used on something that is factual either on accident or intentionally. Logically you can either have full free speech or you support censorship, I’m not convinced there is a workable middle ground.
This became more obvious to me working from home though I should have realized it earlier. I was already using an external display (27") - then switched from that to a 43" inch (with the 27" moving to the side in rotated-portrait mode). The productivity gain was day and night - being able to glance at a 2x4 grid of code is a big jump from constant Alt-Tab. My only regret is not buying it before the prices started going north on account of wfh being wide-spread.
I still think we are at the dawn of widespread adoption of remote work.

I fully expect the pendulum to swing the other way from favoring intra-US remote work like it is now.

Highly competent developers phoning it in from Peru, totally unlike the 1990s, very much seems like it'll be an extremely prominent trend in the future.
Ostensibly true but in practice this is a way of lawyers to say - don't put illegal things we do in writing.
Yes, it doesn't matter for taste, and I am not saying the authentic version of a dish is inherently "better". But of course it makes a difference, it affects how we perceive Japanese culture.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying non-authentic foods or being inspired to make variations/fusion dishes, but ignoring their origins is very insensitive IMO. I don't see what is so painful about acknowledging authenticity.

Edit: really it boils down to food being a huge part of culture. For example, when you say Pizza Hut is authentic Italian cuisine, you are saying something about Italian culture, and wanting to correct that is a perfectly normal thing to feel. We should not conflate authenticity with quality, but authenticity still matters.
Good grief. AMP always looked fishy, but to be as blatantly abusive as this? It's indefensible.

Google has to be broken up.
Is it possible that every illness, even the common cold, can have these side effects at some low level of incidence or low intensity? I feel like part of the reason we are speculating or noticing these issues with COVID is that it is so heavily studied and scrutinized, to an extent much greater than a typical seasonal flu or cold.
Amen, this is the unvarnished truth. I suppose it's easier to overlook the employees and knowledge you have. If I stayed in the same company for the past ten years I'd bet on less than half of what I'm on now
I know this is a low effort comment but I don't know how anyone takes The Guardian seriously anymore

> but the boot of a fresh install of the latest version of Debian feels instantaneous.

Starting with latest iterations CentOS 7 and Debian 10, booting Linux is almost instantaneous. We have quite a few VMs, and after restarting one (i.e.: reboot <enter>), I just need to sip a little coffee to be able to SSH into a fully booted system.

On the other hand some of the higher end servers we have can fit a meaningful chat to the booting process (in fast boot mode, no less).

This means that most of the overhead is hardware initialization waits, IO and GRUB.

BTW, X11 is not modesetting 5 times on me. Maybe the first modeset you see is kernel's terminal modeset?

I do not think Windows desktop is a niche. It doesn't have the same percent of development it used to, but in absolute numbers it didn't decline.
Many people are using the Windows desktop and many old and new software is being developed.

Speaking of which, I feel the need to rant a bit: developing for Windows using QT is much more nicer than with any MS framework. MFC is a nightmare. Windows Forms was deprecated in favor of WPF which no one cares about. From C# you can't use Direct X or Vulkan with ease.

Maybe MAUI will bring a better experience. But they need to do something for C/C++, too. Maybe buy the rights to use QT and integrate it with Visual Studio if they don't want to develop a good framework. Or buy the framework from Embarcadero (the one used by C++ buulder). But don't force people into MFC mess. I presume that even their own developers hate MFC with passion.

Winapi was ok in the 80s. MFC was ok in the 90s but we are in 2020s.
When I saw the two Dune items, I thought that Frank Herbert had died.

It turns out that he did die. In 1986.
It's crazy to me that the team dedicated to AMP had no control and awareness of any schemes were pulled behind their back. This is such a huge org problem.

Unless, of course, the team leadership was on it and this was an insider job.
Did the Guardian misrepresent their source material?

I could claim that pissing in the curtains in a room full of minors is part of my personal freedom, but most people would agree that some behaviors must be restricted.

The president represents the people. If somebody spreads a song that basically repeats "f*k the president" in a loop, claiming that must be allowed because: part of my freedom to hate somebody; other could be justified to say "f*k the blacks", or the latins or the asians in a song. Could even claim that is even a minor offense against less people, right? I totally support the right to satire, but this is just hate speech against democrats. There is not a good part in the entire song.

And we have 600000 people killed after allowing this snake talk roaming wild. Maybe is time to strike back against people aiming to dissolve the society... Dunno.

To a young person, the smell of durian, if you have never encountered it, most closely resembles the wet stuff at the bottom of a garbage can. The older people get, the better they like it; apparently it stops smelling like that. I have no idea how this is possible.
Genuinely asking because I don't know: what did they do wrong? I was under the impression that they're a good news source?
As a consumer I never felt Microsoft was great at making software, They used(& abused) their monopoly position to stay relevant or perhaps even ubiquitous for software until the likes of Yahoo, Google and other members of FANG showed up and proved that they could make better software.

Now a 25 member startup (or) an alturistic/idealistic individual(s) sitting in the basement of their parents house does indeed make better software than MS to solve various problems.

But as an Entrepreneur I do have to acknowledge that making bad Software hasn't impacted Microsoft's ability to make money, Google although features in the aforementioned list of `Good software makers` has supposedly made lesser direct revenue with its own products(android) than MS made through it(patents) and Of course what's happening with GCP vs Azure is for everyone to see.

Perhaps that's why MS makes bad SW, It concentrates on making money through where it matters for it and an average consumer don't even know that the MS software they're using is buggy (or) will put up with it unless they have an opportunity to try something else.
