There is no rationality behind the response to covid in general: I'm in Denmark. Two months ago (or so), covid was downgraded from "a danger to society" to "a dangerous disease". Most test centers were closed.

Now its been upgraded again and the "coronapas" passport reintroduced. So, I spent an hour or so this morning in a crowded test center with lots of other unvaccinated people, waiting to get tested. Its almost as if they want people to get infected.

By the way, I'm not complaining for myself. I decided long ago that the authorities can go fuck themselves. I would prefer to get covid, even if it means I die (which I won't with at least 99,8% probability) than kowtow to these health popes and cardinals, with their cowardly, destructive, stupid policies.

It's a good idea to keep your public keys private. You can do this by using a different key for each purpose, and by explicitly configuring (in ~/.ssh/config) which key to use for which purpose.

By default, the ssh client will try to each of your public keys to connect to any given server, which naughty servers can effectively use to enumerate your identities.

Services like Github really shouldn't publish these keys without consent. One could argue they're really PII and subject to privacy laws ..
Github was acquired and isn't open source though.

VSCode is nice and open-source core maybe, but most important parts like server plugins remain proprietary.

Thank you microsoft, just don't do anything stupid to the great commons and trust you have build out over the last years..
I’m puzzled as to who is acting when id Software, under Zenimax Media, under Microsoft, takes legal action.
I think part of the problem is the concept of an "application", which is a prepackaged collection of functionalities. The user has to start the application to use a function. If software was developed as standalone functions that users can pipe together through drag-and-drop (or some other means), to create their own "applications", we might be able to reach a happy medium. A non-CLI version of the unix philosophy.

Show HN: SQL/JSON-Query Generate nested data SQL and matching result types
This is a source generator where you put in TypeScript describing a hierarchy of related database tables, and it produces:

(1) SQL for getting the data in a single round trip using SQL/JSON functions, and

(2) result types matching the query result structures, in either TypeScript or Java.

All tables, fields and foreign key relationships (usually used implicitly) are checked against database metadata for validity when sources are generated.

The idea is that there's no special runtime support necessary, the SQL can be directly executed and results deserialized to the generated result types directly using common facilities like JSON.parse() in TS or Jackson in Java.

Supported databases are Postgres (12+ tested), MySQL (8), Oracle (19+, maybe 18).

Target languages for the result types are TypeScript and Java.

Seems great, but I don't find the "Quickstart" section helpful. A demo video that shows 2-3 unknown commands without context is not a guide, same with links to the full documentation. Both make sense on the landing page, but both don't tell me how to get started quickly.

Edit: interestingly the restic repo's Readme is better in that regard. It's the demo video but in text form with explanations: https://github.com/restic/restic#quick-start
"Higher math" is a very broad concept now, you would need thousands of pages to cover it. This books is basically calculus with applications written in an accessible way by known experts and without confusing mistakes.
Are you a programmer? This should be a relatively simple problem to solve with technology. Date and time is not trivial, but there are programming libraries for it. A programmer using this particular excuse sounds lazy to me.
We notice viruses and cancer because they are anomalous.

Philosophically speaking, us creating pollution is bad vs a tree creating oxygen because we are killing species at a rate 1000x the background rate. That's objectively bad, extremely fucking bad.

Any philosophy that doesn't recognize mass destruction of life for the sake of temporary individual profit as bad and not normal is _severely_ deficient, to the point of being utterly useless or even harmful.
It is well written, but there's some sleight of hand here and there too. Like using your lowest tier product to demonstrate price/performance against a competitor's highest tier. The Snowflake lowest tier doesn't have failover, for example...or compliance features.

> Shouldn't the US try to improve China?

The goal of US foreign policy has never been to improve the lives of people anywhere outside the US. A sibling comment points out that one of our closest allies in the Middle East is Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy that publicly beheads dissidents and has incredibly sexist laws, yet the US does nothing, and we see nothing like the neo Cold War coverage that Xinjiang produces. The US will remain an ally of Saudi Arabia because that is beneficial to the interests of the US, not the people subject to the Saudi regime.

If you think I’m a cynic or conspiracy theorist, take a look at what the US has done in other countries since WW2, in many cases overthrowing democratically elected governments in favor of US friendly regimes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r.... This is what the US has always done to other countries, expecting them to care about morals or improving anyone’s lives is missing their goal completely (and taking their propaganda at face value).

Whatever the goal of confrontation with China is, improving human rights is the least likely possibility.
Working with Promises and async/await doesn‘t really turn into spaghetti in my experience. Biggest downsides are the function coloring and the lack of cancellation primitives. They usually fit the problems I‘m solving pretty well and play well enough with functional programming styles.

Having never worked with threads heavily, they always seemed like WAY more hassle to me. I assume that‘s the alternative? I think go has something else?

I'd argue that this is precisely an example of agile methodology. Document review isn't performed by high cost lawyers - it's performed by contractor lawyers who cost a fraction of that. On many matters, project managers are brought in to develop a project plan and scrums are held to assess progress. There are several workstreams built out on an iterative basis and a change log is maintained throughout the project that informs the project backlog.

Contract attorneys may put in 40 hours a week on some projects but 70-80 a week on others, and are often paid overtime rates.
Ha. I see what you did there
So I'm (1) all for green energy, and (2) not very knowledgeable about climate issues so I defer to experts. However, I feel skeptical about climate forecasts because there is a long (and rarely mentioned) track record of dire predictions that never came true.

In 1970, scientists predicted that we would be in a new ice age by the 21st century. In 1988, scientists predicted that rising sea levels would cover every island in the Indian ocean by 2018. In 2004, they predicted that Britain would be "plunged into a Siberian climate by 2020".

By all means, we should take meaningful steps towards cleaner energy, because it's better overall. But the idea that we're on the verge of an apocalyptic disaster...no, I just can't get behind that.
I strongly agree with this comment. But this is why digital media is so dangerous - because few people understand the “logorithms” used to light the pixels on the screen
You might want to look into using .ssh/config instead, as it is built into SSH. In addition to letting you specify keys/usernames for arbitrary hosts, you can also use rules for wildcards, etc.
Thank you, I really liked your response. I think you answered an important, parallel, issue which is the practicality of influencing China. This is a different, though interconnected, issue which can sometimes have completely different implications. Foreign policy is fascinating, I must say.

I wish Google would bury the war hatchet together with Oracle. Their J++ take with Android is really getting far behind and starting to split the community.

Also, they've been doing very interesting things for the platform (a thread sanitizer IIRC). They'd be a stellar contributor.

If only Oracle could work on providing them legal-safe way to come into the community. Maybe by donating the Java brand to a foundation, and also enshrining the JCP process management into it?

So much good work opportunities have been wasted it's not even funny.

I think Peter Jackson was initially going to say that Keith Richards stole the “Precious” from the Beatles. Just look at Keith Richards. The dude has stopped aging. Only a ring of power could keep that guy going for so long!

However, he realized that public disclosure of this would rip the world apart as Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Queen Elizabeth, Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel, Nancy Pelosi, and Xi Jinping would go all out to use this ring to make themselves immortal so they could continue their political careers indefinitely.

So he instead left that part out of his movie. Right now he, along with Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are working to secretly take the ring from Keith Richards and destroy it.

I've been a Linux user since just after the mid-90's so you can imagine what my opinion of Microsoft you used to be (I was that annoying guy who used Micro$oft etc).

They still act like a basket case occasionally (product of been a large company with divisions that don't always play well with each other) but they have been mostly playing ball and playing it well for years now, so they've earnt some trust.

That really depends on the disability. If you use a mobility scooter for example, particularly one of the faster ones, that's going to drive much more smoothly on a bike path than on the sidewalk (where the pavement is often uneven, you have to deal with the curb every block, etc). For that matter, not everyone can drive either. Some disabilities result in your license being taken away; for example, you may not be able to drive if you're prone to seizures. But you may be able to cycle!

If bike infrastructure is done well, it should be accessible enough that those disabled people who can ride a bike are able to use it: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/jan/02/cambridge-dis...

Now, you're right that people with some disabilities will not be able to cycle, or will not require a mobility scooter. (Although if you want one and can't afford it, that's also a problem, and I believe a common one here? Our healthcare system...) It's still important to have various accessible modes of transportation. Trains can be a good option here, though it's important that they have level boarding for wheelchair users and that all stations are likewise accessible. (Philly's unfortunately are not. The City Hall station reconstruction is long overdue.)

And some people may always still need a car due to their disability! In the Netherlands, they have something called the Canta, which is a microcar specifically for people with disabilities that's small enough to operate on bike paths and can be parked on the sidewalk: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canta_(vehicle)

And yes, some may need a full-sized vehicle as well; it's worth replacing some parking spaces with disabled parking spaces to accommodate that case.

My point, though, is that our car-centric city designs in the US don't accommodate everyone either! We often consider it to be the default out of inertia, but it's important to remember that not everyone can drive a car, and in a car-dependent area that's a recipe for social isolation. Our cities should be designed such that everyone is able to get around quickly and safely.

What device do you have? I bought the Forerunner 55 for the Garmin Coach and the Body Battery. While the coach has been good the Body Battery has been a complete disappointment.

> I think this is a fantastic example of where we should be heading in the future... but individuals able to customise common software for their individual needs.

Indeed, we should. But economic incentives and the adoption patterns of greater society seem to point in the exact opposite direction.

Actually tinkering with software is still seen and arcane and nerdy, even after computers now permeate half of society.

The popular view on computers is still that they are "magic" - either "good magic" in the form of shiny devices that "just work" or as "evil magic" in the form of hackers doing unspeakable things.

Other examples of widespread adoption of technological innovation don't give a lot of hope either: We all are surrounded by artificial materials, processed food and extremely complex electronic devices every day - more or less the case for the last 200 years.

Nevertheless it has not led to everyone having some basic knowledge in molecular science or electronics. Instead, most people have simply given up on understanding their surroundings and are effectively treating those advances them like magic: either enthusiastically accepting them or tolerating them but longing back to some ostensible simpler times where you wouldn't have to deal with them.

And both the industry and regulators are perfectly fine with this: For the industry, a certain amount of ignorance is vital to be able to sell products or services at all.

For regulators, its far easier to have a few big platforms than to have a myriad of individuals that you have to convince.

I absolutely believe your vision of the future would eventually be better for everyone - but right now, the "agriculture" vision seems a lot more likely to me, unless something will significantly change in the future.

I had this approach in a draft as well! In fact, I tried this before making all links `*mut Node`. But coding the removal methods turned out to be really hard - I couldn't fight through the borrow checker. So I figured if I already have raw pointers and unsafe blocks, might as well go all the way :)
Is it a pain? At it's most basic, it's just one line of config in .git/config. The hard part is keeping track of historical keys and revocations, so that historical commits can be validated if they were made before (but not after) a revocation. And when that happens, you immediately run into the problem that time information in git offers zero security, and that the whole operation is moot.

Also we are generally wealthy enough to afford cars and they fit a whole family a lot more comfortably. If you can afford a car, why by a motorcycle unless you want one for fun? Ebikes are nice in the west because they can travel in bike lanes which have a lot less traffic.

I was trying to speak figuratively, not literally. Any programmer will need to look at source code to solve problems, but that's not what I was getting at.

When you're taking a math quiz, the goal is to learn how to solve math problems, not bypassing the quiz.

What I really should have said is that in life, shortcuts aren't always appropriate. If you're an engineer confronted with the task of calculating the load the bridge can take, you're supposed to do the hard slog of calculating how much the bridge will take. Let's suppose that engineer didn't understand math, but simply cheated their way through University and took a guess - will you be stepping foot on the bridge?

Teaching kids it's okay to take inappropriate shortcuts is bad, because in the real world, inappropriate shortcuts can have nasty consequences.
I still don't quite understand hackers: doing such high-profile hacking and writing lame texts even wihout much fact checking (about agency divisions in this case). Being written in more professional way, this attack could be way more effective.
Also, is it a thing among "hackers" to write with tons of mistakes? A part of culture maybe? Or to scare the bricks out of people? )

That Canta car is pretty cool, I've never seen that before. Totally agree about car-centric problems. I grew up in the suburbs and lived near a lot of stroads. Requiring a car to do anything is such a stressful way to live.
>I have a vision of software literacy- where 99.9% of people can write their own. I

Most people are incapable of writing their own software. And not just a driver for an iphone screen, but anything substantially harder than 'printf("hello world");'.

This is like having a vision of the future where everyone can do their own molecular biology research, or where everyone can design their own skyscraper.
The natural progression from retiring from a job in the government tends to be taking up a new job with the government or a government contractor.

This is one place he could look:

https://www.usajobs.gov/

A better path might be to network with former colleagues who work in areas he is interested in. Contract pay in government work tends to be higher.

Outside of government I would say large corporations. Again networking is going to tend to work better here than applying directly if possible.
Ray or Ryan? I’ve never heard of the former.
All these other languages make things easier at the cost of performance and reliability. Maybe Rust has gotten to a point where it‘s hurt by it‘s own stellar reputation. It‘s so well liked that people pick it up for all kinds of projects. For people who know Rust very well, writing a mobile app or web service in it is probably fun and convenient, because it‘s always great to work with what we know best. For the rest of us, we should maybe stick with languages designed for application programming.
