> The existence of systemd and chrome have unequivocally made the world a better place.

Whether or not that is true is besides the point. The point is that it is valid to criticise them regardless of the fact that these things were given away for free.

> You sound like someone who has never made anything independently in their life.

Incorrect.

> He has chosen to make a living by providing free technical content online.

Let's all take a moment to ponder this particular arrangement of words.

> To support his passion he needs to make sure he can make a minimum profit otherwise he cannot sustain his work of providing you with free content.

Why is he entitled to this? What I mean is, why should I consider his ability to do the kind of work he wants and get paid for it sufficient justification for preying on human psychological quirks to get them to do something they, rather objectively, would otherwise not do?

> It’s like you have a problem with independent creators needing money to live.

Quite the contrary! But we're not paying this creator are we? This creator is "giving" us their product for "free"... with the expectation of receiving ad revenue from our views, a not-insubstantial portion of which were admittedly provoked by exploitation of human psychology.
> TypeScript needs to be compiled, right?

Yes.

> So what use is a configuration file if I need to run it through the build pipeline?

Compilation doesn't necessarily happen in a “build pipeline”; typescript is available as a library.

> The point of having configuration is to gain the ability to configure software without rebuilding in my mind.

There are many different purposes of configuration, and they are sometimes in tension, which is why there are so many configuration formats (spanning from limited languages like TOML through general purpose programming languages, whether interpreted or compiled) with an ebb and flow as to which approaches are more and less popular over time.

I don't think so, and I think it might involve unreasonable changes to core.

The "Emacs Way" here is to use a command that takes you back to where you were before. If you used tags navigation to get to what you wanted to look at, you could use `pop-tag-mark`, which is on M-, (other modes for getting around, like xref and LSP use the same binding). Or failing that, if you know you're staying in the same buffer, you can `set-mark-command`, scroll to where you want to look, and `exchange-point-and-mark` (and then deactivate the mark with C-g if you were in transient-mark-mode, which most people are these days).

There's also a package `dogears' (https://github.com/alphapapa/dogears.el) for saving your place to go back to automatically even if you're just scrolling.

I recognize that all these solutions are not intuitive to someone who expects the cursor position to stay in the same place even if it scrolls offscreen.
Canada has this too for some government services like the tax system.

In my personal experience, email is often accepted. But that wasn’t my point. You said SMS is often the only option, but I don’t see why companies couldn’t support email as well.

Edit: I guess my point is that since this post is essentially asking what should be prioritized, I think that companies should prioritize providing email as an option if they provide SMS.
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. I don't think any implementation does that, since it would require holding back the entire burst in a buffer in the DDR controller. Which would significantly impact performance through the added latency.

But honestly I don't know — and also this seems like if some vendor wanted to take (or not take) the performance hit for extra safety, they could well deviate from everyone else.
Correlating heatwaves and relative humidity with suicide
The algorithm accounts for that.

If you sound like a dying cat, your click through rate will be high, but your average watch length will be low.

I agree there's a problem with how the algorithm drives creators to this stuff, but it's also not that unsophisticated that clickbait = success
I agree it's the worst thing ever for me and you. But it's awfully nice that I don't need to setup a VPN at my grandma's house 2000 miles away to help her troubleshoot some things.
I can't say I like or hate it (yet), but why do all the tech companies start using them simultaneously?
Even when the tool support it, I'm not sure it's a good practice.

Small code reviews often miss the forest for the tree. When you make the extent of the feature changes even harder to mentally trace back and put together by having a diff over another set of code that is itself an unapproved diff, the code review becomes pretty low quality.

I've also done this where my change that depend on other changes get approved, but then the other set of code gets critiqued so I have to change it and that breaks the code that depends on it so I have to change that as well, and now I still need to get it all reviewed again, so really I just wasted someone's time the first round.

What I do now is that I make commits over it in my branch, so I keep working while they review my first commit, and when that's approved I send the next commit to be reviewed, and so on. If there are comments I do an interactive rebase to fix them.
AOL's revenue would have been much lower if this had been the policy back at their peak.

> How do you tell reviewers that your reactions PR depends on the comments PR?

It's at the top of pr.

"someone wants to merge 1 commit into random-branch from another-random-branch"

> How will reviewers see the relevant diff for the reactions PR (excluding the comments PR changes)?

It will show it by default? If they want to see comments PR changes, they will need to go to comments PR.

> How can you propagate changes to the reactions PR if you ever need to update the comments PR before you land it (i.e. to address review comments)?

Use git rebase --onto.

It would be nice if the marketing page told prospective users what exact difference their tool provides - since I'm already using that workflow and never seen one of those internal tools.
> Important clarification: they sold your account to a collections agency. They made more than what you actually owed them by doing that, which is probably why they did that.

Um, no. Collection agencies buy debt at a discount, and make a profit if they manage to collect the full amount. It would make no sense for them to buy debt for more than what is owed.
I don't understand the 'never gotten usb-C' part. Modern phones have more than enough space for two connectors. So usb-C next to a micro-B charging port is no problem.

After a while, almost all phone also have usb-C, most people like usb-C, so the industry can petition to replace micro-B with usb-C.

Are there any examples where the EU mandates legacy stuff that is no longer useful, but still has to be kept anyway?
The CLI generates a project scaffolding for you, which is a Deno project. So I’m not sure the issue is the CLI itself, but the apps you will be building are Deno based.
I do this with Bitbucket all the time. I just create a pull request for the "stacked" change and target it to the branch containing the original work. Once the original work is reviewed and merged, I retarget the stacked pr into the release branch.

If the stacked change gets reviewed first for whatever reason, the diff is displayed correctly.
You will eat the bugs.

I'm not sure, most people aren't writing ASM these days because the compilers are good enough for most cases. Compilers are great.
More than that, they are probably training models to predict the click-through-rate based on the image thumbnail, automatically discounting your content if it doesn't look like this, even if it does end up attracting clicks in reality!
Then the answer is "No".

Did Elon Musk make fun of you when you were a kid or something?

These reactions are totally bizarre to me.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/16/taxes-arent-the-only-reason-...

> Yet most of last week’s sales were for a different reason. Rather than selling as part of an options exercise, Musk started selling from his existing shares. Accountants said it would be impractical for Musk to use those existing shares to pay the tax on his options, since they carry a much higher tax bill.

> Typically, executives sell the exercised shares immediately after they’re purchased to pay the taxes, in what’s known as a “cashless” exercise. Since the shares are sold immediately, there is no additional capital gains tax owed on the shares sold.

> Because Musk’s sales beginning Nov. 9 were straight stock sales with little or no cost basis, he would owe long-term capital gains taxes of up to $1.3 billion. Using those proceeds to pay the options tax would amount to paying taxes twice — once on the capital gains and once on the options.

> “It wouldn’t make sense from a tax perspective for him to use those proceeds for the options tax,” said Toby Johnston, partner in charge of the Silicon Valley office of Moss Adams, an accounting, consulting and wealth management firm.

TL;DR: he seems to be selling more shares than needed strictly to pay taxes or to exercise option, and he selling in a tax-inefficient manner, therefore seemingly increasing his tax bill (any CPA on HN could opine better)

Not sure if that quells the "billionaires should pay their fair dues" shouts that haunt him on every public discourse.
Yes, exactly. Microsoft products try to be smarter than the rest of the world and it's infuriating. Office, Teams (worst software ever to be forced to use in corporate), Edge and now we get Windows 11, the Windows version we supposedly would never get, remember? Windows 10 being the last?

Microsoft will never change. Microsoft is the next IBM. Remember IBM? They are selling blockchains, quantum computers and magical AI products now.
Mine's free, and they pay me cashback every year (which is of course mainly paid by companies like tesco and amazon as part of the fees)
The only reason why I followed the link to the article is because of the author and it appeared on HN. If I had seen that thumbnail on YouTube, I would have scrolled past it immediately since it looked ridiculous and like the sort of video that would not offer meaningful insight for the amount time invested into watching it. Thankfully the blog post was upfront about the limitations. (I trust the video would be as well, but the blog post allowed me to reach that conclusion faster.)
Enticing someone to try the content is different from making it difficult for them to stop paying for it. A more appropriate analogy would be if gyms noticed that having pictures of fit people in the advertisement increased the effectiveness of the ads and you were complaining about that. A face in a thumbnail has no cost to you.

Shit, yeah, if they were offering 300-400% of my current salary, as seems to be par for the course when they hire mid-level engineers.
It's a first past the post system. Which results in a two party duopoly and voting for anyone else can actively harm your interests.

So we don't actually have a choice, our politics are as rigged as American politics. A small cabal pick the two PM choices, and we have to pick between bad or worse.
If anything, I'd expect Apple to favor "fairly priced" apps you pay for upfront as was mostly the norm at the beginning.

The situation is probably more that free-to-play in various degrees of obnoxiousness that don't require an initial purchase to use the app--possibly with a separate demo version--is mostly what consumers expect these days.
I have read this book and recommend it other devs. It is a great example of using types effectively and writing good functional code. I have worked on several TS projects and none even had a glimpse of the patterns explored in that book. That is my point. TS doesn't make you write better code. If anything, it encourages the dev to document the types which is still no guarantee of quality documentation.

I have worked on several JS projects that are written functionally. They have been some of the high points of my web development experience. None of the TS projects I have worked have been functional. Maybe it's a coincidence.
Where’s the link to the amended filing?
At the very least, it results in people filing bug reports and feature requests which may in turn result in their products being more reliable, faster, etc.

I don't know what their policy on accepting code contributions from third parties is, but the prospective value of those contributions should speak for itself.
Also interesting is the fact that parsers and languages are never mentioned. Regular expression engines are parsers for regular languages, one step below context-free languages.

I wonder why there's no context-free language parsers in standard libraries. The Earley parser can take grammars as input without necessarily having to generate code, it would be a great algorithm for a standard context-free parser.
Inflation is a function of how big of a numerically incompetent broke ass loser one is. The poors think inflation taxation is 4%, while anyone with real money knows better.
In most US states at least, you can only sue for actual damages in small claims court. Punitive, reputational or other things have to go through regular court.
"MS Java and VisualJ or whatever it was called was eee of Sun Java."

You mean C#?
Cython is also pretty successful obviously, though I don't think it quite fits in OPs list given that it's more about writing extensions than replacing your entire Python code/stack. But I do agree with OPs sentiment even as someone who writes a lot of Python.
Personally, I prefer a separate deploy command if you want it - it allows you to more easily use external CI systems. There are several app platforms I've written off because they only worked via git.
Michael Shermer played Stairway to Heaven backwards and it mostly sounds like gibberish. But when he displays the 'translation' as text and plays it again, the words seem pretty clear.

Hi.
I will think about adding narrative to the game.

I have made four games before this game, but this is my the biggest project and first project released on steam. You can find my all games on my website: https://coresaken.com/

No. During the holidays I was working as a waiter in restaurant. I made this game after work.

The proces is not very hard. I had to prepare a steam page, trailer, some screenshots. I also had to send my tax and bank account information etc.

I am using Unity3D to making my games and C# language.
Not that HN is really the place for this discussion, but the _news_ section of the WSJ is pretty neutral and well written. The _opinion_ page is very slanted towards "corporatist/capitalist views".
Right, boil-off is a problem for general aviation, so compressed H2 is the hydrogen option there, which is less attractive.

Although, Universal Hydrogen[0] has a wild idea: "... the development of a state-of-the-art uncooled liquid hydrogen storage system that will be able to store liquid hydrogen without venting for over two days. This storage life will be achieved through the use of a specially insulated dual- walled aluminium capsule that allows the pressure inside to build up without exhausting the boil-off."

Yikes.

Every time people bring up the 30 years of systematic abuse of the computing world engineered by Microsoft, there's a dogpile of people who say that was years ago and they've changed.

They haven't changed. They can't change. If you're at Microsoft or working with Microsoft because you think they will? Run.
Everyone says they value good reviews, and I think that's actually true to some extent, but 'prompt' comes at a real cost as you have to stop what you're doing to take a look.
> the EU ... has nearly a billion people

More like under half billion (~447.0 million).

>The UK is basically Mexico now

Except it has a much bigger more advanced economy and a ton of other differences but carry on with the hyperbole.

> The Netherlands and Germany are filling that role ...

Just recently Royal Dutch Shell just switched headquarters to UK from NL, maybe there are some advantages then.

> Was doing it off the top of my head

Any more facts you want to come up with from the top of your head? I think I'll just disregard the rest of your facts then.
In theory time should be split into 30% research and planning, 30% code reviews and 30% writing code.

In practice most devs spend 90% coding and 10% hastily rushing through reviews.
It's a tonsure. A pretty tame haircut compared to what you can regularly see nowadays, online and even AFK.
> When building mission critical systems why don't programmers just use C itself instead of coding in another programming language and having it transpiled for them?

Why C and not assembler?

> Why introduce such tools all the time?

C compilers are one of those tools.

What happened to BitTorrent’s Project Maelstrom web browser?
Agreed that this is usually true.

Oddly, my wife interviewed with Facebook (~7 years ago), got the “no, but we’ll reach out to you if something comes up“, and 2-3 months later they did. She’s been working there ever since.

So well 99% of the time I would say don’t expect to hear back… my n=1 experience says it’s not impossible.
I genuinely felt that between VSCode, WSL, their involvement with improving Python, the improvements to Linux on Azure, Open Source .Net Core etc. etc. that Microsoft was changing

Well, a part of it changed somewhat, because these things were unheard of in the past..

Windows was a genuine and valid OS option

..it's just that this bit didn't change.

for developers

Depending on the type of application, Windows can practically work perfectly fine for a developer, always has and probably always will. Just too bad said developer also has to deal with the not-so-sunny side of MS.
I hear this a lot. What I don't understand is why my own experience is so different. I don't find Linux desktop awful at all. On the contrary, I find it to be the best (by far) experience as compared to both Windows and MacOS. It's so much more convenient. MacOS is kind of OK, but Windows is nearly unusable.
Looks like a tonsure to me.

Yes. Even if just to put it on the CV and the bragging rights of telling your friends you work for Amazon.
I recommend going through their recruiting process once to experience the ridiculousness, get the free lunch, talk to some folks. I wouldn't want to work for them though. For me, once I started working for an organization that actually tries to make the world a better place, actually living by real values, respecting employees, offering true work life balance, it's hard to ever consider a place like Amazon, it feels so foreign to me now.

how do you typically stack diffs?
Use care when blocking scans with iptables. This is mostly safe for TCP if you have a dummy socket listener for the attacker to connect to and you look for established connections in iptables. If you block on SYN or UDP packets then I can disable your traffic with simple spoofing. I can even get you to block your own gateway unless you whitelist it.
This. I consider Netlify and Vercel to be more focused versions of AWS for static site hosting. You can host a static site on AWS no problem, but AWS is so massive that a good chunk of your time is going to be spent just wrangling with the AWS services themselves.

What Netlify (and Vercel) did is take all those disparate features across AWS that you use for static site hosting, and package them up with a nice UI and easy access.

Do you like reading SCI-FI? This is the perfect GIFT
I really appreciate the writeup associated with the page. It's always interesting to see behind the scenes details on how things are manufactured. Back in college, the manufacturing professors had us bring things to them if we didn't know how they were made, which was always a fun discussion ruling out possibilities based on little details.

I had no idea about the L and R on the legs, and wouldn't have guessed that for sorting in the factory despite being an industrial engineer myself.

They got me to signup for future scans. Does anyone have other solid manufacturing type blogs, breakdowns, etc?
No way in hell. The way they treat their warehouse workers should tell you everything you need to know about the character of the organization in general. You can tell a lot about a society, organization, etc. by how they treat the lowest among them.

That's not all, though. It's only a matter of time (how long? that's up for debate) until antitrust - be it real action, or merely the rumored specter thereof - results in some degree of upheaval internally. While I admit this is purely theoretical at the moment, it's certainly not outside the realm of reason to have concerns that said equity may wind up severely reduced in value if you get screwed by the timing of getting that equity vs. antitrust related events.

If I were in your shoes, unless I had no job at all and was desperate for the very first thing that came along, I'd give Amazon a hard pass for every possible role, bar none.
Yeah this shouldn't be an issue when following standard git branching practices. It's kinda the point
It's easy to overdose. A typical use of ivermectin for antiparasitic effect is a one-time dose with a single pill. But for so-called covid prevention, people have been taking higher doses for a prolonged period of time. There have been reported cases of people who had to get a liver transplant due to ivermectin misuse.

Weirdly enough, the algorithm works wonders for me when I'm not logged in. It does what it is supposed to do. Give me more of what I might want while throwing in a heathly dash interesting things I might be interested in. YT to me, bon apetit.

But when I'm logged in, it shows me the exact videos I've been avoiding watching these past few weeks and when I do watch a video, instead of showing me similar vids or vids from the same creator - it just shows me videos I've watched or the video updates I've been avoiding. And the odd Taylor Swift MV, an artist whose works (is it even music) I've never even...not even in a mix.

The team at YT has jokes it seems. Comedians.
