>, but it feels like my peers at university and in the industry tend to stay far away from .NET for personal projects, etc. Why is this?

It's leftover industry bias because of Microsoft's long history of a proprietary tech stack that costs money to use. Today's Microsoft of promoting open source VSCode doesn't really undo the mindshare they lost in the 1990s and 2000s when the internet got big. I wrote previous comment about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20256825

C#/.NET (including WinForms and ASP.NET) was instantly popular with corporate enterprises but Microsoft never captured emerging startups with their tech stack. E.g. 1990s startups like Ebay, Amazon, Google, etc all used Java+MySQL+Linux instead of C#+MSSQLServer+MSWinNT. And new high-profile open-source projects like Hadoop, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, etc chose Java instead of C#. I currently can't think of a famous project where the canonical source is C#. I use iText C# library but that was ported from Java. That's how it usually evolves. A lot of C# libraries were actually Java projects at first.
Future Interfaces Group at CMU has done a lot of interesting research where they can infer a large amount of enviromental context just from accelerometer/gyroscope alone. http://www.figlab.com/

> On top of that, GitHub has a built-in image proxy that requests data for it's users and therefore there is an extra layer of protection there.

I find a bit concerning that Github let leak this kind of information out.
"Visual Studio 2022 is our first 64-bit release of Visual Studio."

I am surprised to read that VS is still a 32-bit app. I suppose there isn't a huge need to make an IDE 64-bit; still the other IDEs I use (IntelliJ, Goland) have been 64-bit for quite a while.
I do mean Odessa, Ukraine. As far as I am aware Odessa, Texas was not built in the 18th-19th centuries so there would be no belgian block streets to be found.

You can boot your rpi to mainline uboot (it does not remove the wonky firmware though :) )

I feel wonky firmwares are pretty common in the arm world though (and in other worlds too)
Those pensioners aren't the ones who will pay Social Security in the future mate. Portuguese politicians are digging a hole that we won't be able to recover from - just so you know the age of retirement keeps increasing with no end in sight.

It should be the other way around.
Taxes are extremely high and that, in and of itself, is a huge issue but things are actually much worse.

Want to use a road? You pay. Want to get some financial documents you actually need for work? You pay. Want a doctor to see you at a hospital? You pay.

You pay for everything twice.

Yes, and for better and for worse. “Science is friendship” isn’t far from the mark.
Agreed. False senses of friendships can lead you to think you have more friends than you do. Having a better sense of who actually cares lets you assess if you need to see out new friends. The more accurately you know who your friends are, the more able you are to determine if you need to go make more/new friends.
I was already pretty suspcious of Theranos and then I talked to the VC I was advising. They said their alarms were tripped when Theranos didn't agree to sign any NDAs when talking about their tech, so the VC sent a junior partner to a walgreens to get the test. While being tested, they noticed it was a blood draw (the whole point of the test was that it didn't need to be a blood draw) and realized theranos was just farming out the tests to conventional equipment.

RThey were already "found out" well before the articles were published, it's just that most VC aren't going to go out of their way to tank you, they just decline to invest
It's probably reference to the Monterey memory leaks (seems I recall something similar back with Catalina?) which end up allocated in various applications (seen Control Center, WindowServer, etc.)
Fossil fuels are too cheap and approval times for new fossil fuel power stations are surprisingly still much faster than for nuclear. Even though the health impact from the latter has historically been orders of magnitudes (at least 1000x) higher.
Is there any reason I should care about .NET today if I'm not already in the ecosystem? I've done C# professionally in the past, and C# is a good language. I wish Microsoft focused on open source and wider industry adoption for C#/.NET sooner so that it could have taken some share from Java. Now .NET is finally open source but Microsoft is a bad steward of the open source ecosystem for .NET, and I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable to say to my team "let's do this next project in C#". I don't see any particular reason to make my own tools in C# vs anything else.

So without already being in an existing Windows-based Microsoft shop, is there any reason I should be interested in .NET today?
Well, we should summon the nanoluthiers for these people who booted up bounty programs with the expectation that most of the on-spec reports they received would be valid and not the product of automated scanners, because nobody told them they should ask literally anyone who has ever run a bounty program whether these kinds of reports are a norm for unsolicited bounty submissions, or whether they're worth the tradeoff.

People should curtail these "bounty" programs. There is a generalist expectation about how bounties work that is not all all rooted in empiricism. I get why: the idea that you could put a `security.txt` on your website and start getting people to send you good bugs without compensation on faith that you'd come up with a fair valuation and pay accordingly... well, it's a beautiful idea! The fact that it can't possibly work that way, and that acquiring a feed of valid sev:lo-sev:med bugs involves, for savvy companies who have been doing this for 20+ years, outlays of $15,000-$20,000 is, I think, problematic for that idea. If this is news to you, that's fine! But don't run a bounty program; you're not ready, and it is absolutely not a tech company norm that you have to run one of these things.

You're responsible for staffing security@ no matter what you do; you can't curtail it. But you shouldn't advertise to people that you're interested in unsolicited reports unless you're willing to wade through a of DMARC spam. That's the tradeoff for getting, every once in a blue moon, a free report of a real vulnerability.
> I'm no expert, but as a homeowner and someone who as a result has to employ contractors to fix things, I'd love to see someone make home repairs easier, more certain, and lower aggravation.

While it's definitely possible to improve the experience around that, I don't think it really qualifies as market making. Specifially, look at wikipedia's definition:

>A market maker or liquidity provider is a company or an individual that quotes both a buy and a sell price in a tradable asset held in inventory, hoping to make a profit on the bid–ask spread, or turn.

You can't really hold "renovations to be done" as an "asset in inventory". It'll be something like uber, ie. a marketplace, not a market maker.
I agree. Not much different than let's say sudden inheritance.

Odessa was the 2nd or 3rd largest city in the Russian Empire and currently holds a similar status in Ukraine, afaik. This is largely due to it being a warm water port.
Not for shellcheck(1). It warns about bashisms if it sees `/bin/sh` after the hash-bang.
An easy dismissal without any solid arguments. First, saying "Darcs is slow and Pijul…" is strange, since Darcs and Pijul aim at solving the same problems.

Then, Darcs has never been slow for me, I've been using it for about 15 years, I can remember of one minor performance issue. It doesn't scale well to very large projects, but there are extremely few of them. Since concrete arguments are important when discussing with others, the main event which started Darcs' decline was its inability to handle conflicts in GHC (the Haskell compiler), which was at the time the open source project with the largest history (as measured in number of patches).

As for Pijul, I'm curious where you got your information from. I know Pijul's authors well, at least enough to know that they are well aware of the algorithms used in Git. Pijul does solve a number of problems:

- I know at least one very large-scale project where collaborators are well aware that 3-way merge can mess with their code in really bad ways, and complain about wasting tons of time with that. Unfortunately, I can't embarrass the project's authors by sharing their name, but I can say that it is a widely used piece of software with a really long history.

- Knowing that the code you review is the code you merge is the only thing you should care about if you care about your code at all. This is not what 3-way merge gives you, as the Pijul manual clearly explains (see "lack of associativity").

- Patch commutation is what Git tries to do all the time (rebase, merge, rerere…), except with bad hacks which fail in the more complex situations, which is where we need them the most.

> Trust me when I say people who pirate are usually the ones who never ever buy video games.

It is not like black and white. There are a lot of people in between pirate and pre-order player.
I agree, but it does change in the limited domain of low trust and shared data, where data tampering is a real threat.
Doesn't this track with human existence? Most of my inbox is spam, even if I fight to control it. That doesn't mean I turn my email off or never use it. All of the activities you noted suck, but there's a lot more humans looking for something other than that. I ride my bike around town a lot and end up meeting a lot of strange people because of that. Some people think it's weird and obviously straight up other me if I say, "hi" -- but who would I be if I didn't? When I lived in San Diego a good number of these interactions ended up in me being able to get someone homeless water (fun fact, not all homeless people look what one might think is homeless.)

One time, I ran across a guy who was clearly struggling with a very messy divorce and struggling to get back on his feet. I sat down and just listened for the better part of an hour. I shared my own story of struggle and loss, and at the end he seemed like a large weight had been lifted from his shoulders. Sometimes, all people need is a bit of connection to get through life. Someone to acknowledge their existence in a world that otherwise doesn't care about them or their story. I'm by no means a priest or hippie, just an average dude who rides a bike and likes to say, "hi".
20%? Absolutely. PMI is just setting piles of money on fire and except in the highest of high COL areas, you're almost always better off saving more or buying smaller than wasting years of PMI.

Enough to have something that doesn't qualify as a "large" mortgage? Rarely.
It's not what aboutism, it's the introduction of reality to your 'logic'. You are asking why you don't have access to the evidence into an investigation into a designated terrorist group, and being told 'tough', and now demanding standards of evidence in other countries meet your needs.

Again, no country in the world cares about your wish to have access to terror investigation evidence. None. Zero.

Very likely this was not a real job post, but rather the statutory post required for a visa application (H1-B, etc).

I think going from backend to frontend can be more of an issue. Being a really good frontend engineer requires a strong sense of ux and design that can be completely at odds with how a backend specialist’s mind works. It’s not impossible, but might be really tough.

Going the other direction, there will be new concepts, more focus on algorithms and scalability, more focus on ops and infrastructure, etc. But it’s all still in the realm of programming.
Depends on what you call political action. If Talibans published a similar app would Apple allow it?

I'm willing to lose "some" creative works because of a lack of scarcity. Speaking from experience, artists will always want to create. That is the creative drive. There is no reason that work should not be accessible to all if the technology allows for it.

If it would mean less profiteers, less fakers, less pretenders, less sharks, less debutantes, less tourists... I'm all for it.

There are plenty of ways to profit as an artist without locking up one's work to a privileged few

Will the artistic landscape be different? Sure. But it would be a worthy change.
Only if the rest of the world followed suit. And I highly doubt 100% of other developed and developing nations would have. It also doesn’t fix emissions from cars, planes, shipping vessels, etc. If carbon levels were 50% what they are I also doubt the propaganda would be much different.
We used to have a saying on the team when I worked there:

"Nobody can name things like we can't!" (followed by cry-sobbing)

The more serious response to this is:

For better or for worse, The .NET Framework (which is now squarely legacy tech) has stuck around and been reliable. People have had their trust in it validated. For two decades now, if you're a CTO at some big enterprise, you know that .NET Framework will get the job done for much of your development needs. From a Microsoft branding perspective, this is amazing. But it's got all kinds of problems can't be fixed unless you break everyone. Uh-oh!

This is the biggest reason why branding and naming has been so complicated pver the years. And it's even come with little sub-problems, like the fact that the version number for one "flavor" of .NET would match up with the version number for another "flavor" of .NET and so now you're screwed no matter which decision you pick.

A cleaner approach would be to throw it all away and do a complete rebrand (we had a little proposal to call it "Concert" where C# and F# could be played in harmony with each other, how cute) but with that you throw away the brand of one of the most successful pieces of technology ever produced by the company. Not exactly a winning proposal.

The other factor here is that with .NET there is so much software involved. It's three entire programming languages, a runtime, a huge standard library, a web framework, a database access and management framework, a machine learning framework, several Windows app frameworks, a mobile framework, IDE tooling, command-line tooling, and a bunch of other stuff too. .NET is far larger than many other competing stacks in terms of what a single vendor produces. Since Microsoft produces so much software for .NET and aligns their releases, they also message each one, and with that there's a big sea of stuff to keep track of.

I don't know if I have an answer for how to handle the complexity of it all. A lot of folks I know in the F# community only keep track the F# language and IDE tooling updates, then dive into specific stuff only when they care about it (e.g., doing web programming? check out the ASP.NET release notes). But that may not be an option if you're a decision-maker at a company.
That's fair and I agree that it's friction-reducing but not market-making.
I see your point of view a lot but I don't think configuring a system is that hard and I think it's preferable, compared to have tons of complexity preconfigured without your knowledge.

Here's my experience with Arch Linux:
1) You install what you need to install
2) You read the doc and configure to your liking, learning what the system can and cannot do and how it works with everything else
3) Things generally work as documented and you go your merry way
4) When something break or doesn't work, you have the knowledge or a general idea of what to fix

Compared to proprietary systems where there is no documentation and little configuration, when things break or misbehave you're essentially screwed. Will you wait for an official fix or look online for reverse engineers?
You bought a black box and you can't just open it and fix it.

I'd rather spend a day learning about my system during the installation and having it work for years, instead of buying yet another black box I can't open.
Definitely more complicated than a key value store, or sqlite, more like a distributed document database with (optional) map/reduce views (indeces) and more recently mongo-like indeces.

Best use case though, for me, is key/value durable data storage that you can sync (two ways, no need for master).

As for performance, its pretty fast, but not redis fast as data is written on disk using btree indeces. Retrieving multiple values (documents) with similar looking keys (ids) can be quite fast.

No. But at the same time, If Hamas hides military equipment in a news building where other civilians work, then Hamas is committing a war crime.

And Israel has the right to attack this building while taking every action to minimize civilians bystanders casualties. As they did by giving 1hr notice.

>If you're lonely and want to meet people, don't try to do it via small talk with strangers. Join a club, take a class, volunteer. Go to places where interaction is expected, do not foist it upon strangers just trying to go about their daily lives.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't make small talk to meet other people.

If the moment allows it and I'm in the mood, I enjoy making an offhand comment about something interesting or amusing that's going on around me.

If that's not well received, I just move on. It's no big deal (at least not to me) if others aren't interested.

I will say that, at least for me, 7-8 times out of 10, the interaction is welcomed and comfortable. That said, I do try hard to be personable and polite. That usually makes a big difference.
Maybe because used cars cost/risk about 1% as much as houses?
Exactly true. physics is an empirical science. The separation into “theoretical” and “experimental” (and “phenomenological” in-between) is a result of some haywire marketing that somehow has divided the scientific method up into specialized professions. The field of Physics though, is grounded in experimentation and observation.
The lack of this grounding is called mathematics, philosophy or in the extreme case: religion.

I only have a limited understanding of nuclear reactors, but IIUC these would have produced nuclear waste, which we currently don't have any long-term storage plans for. Not having storage plans for this waste (beyond "put it in pools of water near the reactors, or maybe send it to south carolina) suggests to me that nuclear power may not actually be a workable solution. Sorry to sound ignorant, but it seems like building 500 plants would exacerbate that problem dramatically.

Doesn't it seem like solar + batteries is a much better solution? We could cover large parts of the US with solar panels, store it during the day, and charge large fleets of electric cars overnight. Then, the issue is one of non-radioactive toxic waste storage instead of radioactive toxic waste storage, which seems a bit more tractable.

> But if someone pirates on release they'll never be inclined to buy at that lower price later on.

Just a personal anecdote. I have pirated a shitton amount of video games when I was young and didn't have money. You know what was one of the first thing I did after getting my salary ? I bought burnout paradise. I now own almost 1/2 of all the video games which I played as a pirate on steam and epic.

And also people who generally take the pirate route to play video games, never ever generally pay for it. So expecting a pirate would give in to buy a video game which he thinks will definitely get cracked in the near future is not really a good idea.
I think the sense of doom (which I’m no stranger to myself) comes from thinking of the existing Big Social advertiser-oriented products as ends in themselves of sorts, and from bundling all their users into one big group of Big-Social-enthusiasts. In reality, the “ends” here are diverse communities, subcultures, networks of individuals that keep in touch. They become the product because they use whatever works, not because they necessarily endorse or approve those platforms for their own sake.

The first arrival of the Web and waves of network effects and excitement fueled the big platforms of today, but after all that hype those smaller islands-communities are becoming more pronounced among the general disillusionment (domestic cozy and all that). And, luckily, the smaller a community or subculture, the easier it is for it to switch to a self-hosted or more honest alternative.

Undoubtedly, ad-driven platforms will try to retain those islands by providing features or side-products communities might find convenient. However, as independent alternatives become mature and reliable, I hope the savvier and more conscious communities will[0] be resisting feeding the Big Social’s troll-driven data-mining oligopoly (or whichever next shady fad) and stay out, except for an odd visit to publish something intended for a wider audience or watch the dumpster fire burn out of morbid curiosity.

I think raising and maintaining awareness of the grossness of shady business models and their consequences, as well as vetting and suggesting alternatives, is best we can do.

[0] Most likely many already do, but naturally I wouldn’t hear about it unless I’m part of one. (Notably, as a result of this migration, many communities might become more closed, which is a bit sad to consider—and yes, Big Social is very much not without blame here again.)
