Thanks for detailing. As always in IT, the actual, practical use-case is what makes the difference :).

And yes! I've set-up webshops that work exactly this way: both B2C, and B2B. I even encounter them regularly in NL, where iDeal is the norm and dead-easy to implement: e.g. yesterday when ordering special seeds for coming years vegetable-garden:

"Please email us the product-numbers and quantities, the bank-account from where you send the money and your postal address"

Having no PSP is always easier than the easiest PSP. Having no webshop is always easier than the simplest webshop. Apparently such businesses can get away with it. Or, more in y-combinator-speak: by far the leanest webshop is a simple email-inbox.

Usually VLC lasts a week or two.
I wish it wasn't though. I am so addicted to vim :/. Not even a hard core vim script maker or anything though and every 9 months I try to either add IDE features to vim (and give up) or add vim features to an IDE (and give up).

Vim, not even once.
They are designed for a specific thermal and power profile. So is the M1. This is not something that is changing. It is not relevant to the current discussion in any way whatsoever.
That sounds like a lot more trouble. And then again, you could build the same templates, styles, and macros over Latex for even more performance. Not to mention that Latex files are just text files, so you can apply any sort of text processing to them.
Maybe, but the services might also be allowed to offer completely custom APIs. The proposal isn't quite clear on that. Also, at this stage it's just a draft that has a long way to go until it can come into effect and the chances that it gets altered into something completely different along the way are still pretty high. Don't get your hopes up yet.
Why? Code requires comments regardless of language in order to explain the why as opposed to the what. See e.g. https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/search?q=kludge for examples.
If you want to read further, Fred Turner later published a book. (From Counterculture to Cyberculture https://g.co/kgs/Vrwazt)

I remember this book fondly, I was really into social sciences At highschool, but I decided to study Electronics and this was the book that really tied both topics. It's been eight years since and I'm still in engineering but on my free time read about history.
Writing apps for the browser is one thing, I don't particularly like it because it lacks the level of integration native apps have but for performance, it is not that bad. Browsers are well optimized and offer many interesting features out of the box.

For me, the problem is that an Electron app ships with its own browser instead of using the one the system already has.

Another example, mostly in the Linux world, is to use containers with their own subsystems instead of using system libraries. Snap, AppImage and Flatpak do that, especially Snap, which I think is the only one that doesn't support external dependencies.

I understand the appeal, but that's really wasteful.
Selling out in other industries is looked down upon (eg former indie musician selling out for a mainstream record contract), but business is, well, business. Better to be honest with yourself that your heart's no longer in it (if it's not), and sell to someone who is.
VS Code also starts in "seconds" on my machine, so if that's what they're targeting it's probably a success.
Legacy papers are very popular these days in econ, history, and political science. I don't have the time to dive deep into this one, but spatial identification of long-term causal effects is prone to errors. Specifically, the error terms in regression specifications capture unexplained variance that can be very persistent over long periods of time. These errors can also be spatially correlated across treated observations: https://voxeu.org/article/standard-errors-persistence
My only complaint about the Swiss Army knife is the plastic plates on the handle didn't survive in a dishwasher – they've got warped. Still usable though.
When it's not mentioned I just assume it's US only. Which is usually the case.
Maybe they want to sell more Space licences.
How has our reading changed during the Covid-19 period?
Reminds me a scene from "The man from earth", when asked for some kind of proof or artifact from the era, he asked if you would keep a pen if you lived a thousand years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAX2RuZm-Fk&t=1275s
By people observing their neighbors are never there. In small communities everyone knows everyone, and it's in our own interest having a vibrant community, not lots of empty housing only being used during high season.

But mainly it's checked by seeing if any person has their primary residence registered at each address zoned to housing. Or by filling in a form saying it's rented out to someone living their temporarily, like seasonal workers, students at the ski academy etc.

But people do try to skimp around it by living there on paper while actually living somewhere else. But than at least part of their taxes paid goes to our county. County can force them to sell, though.
> But for helping the very poorest advance, I'm not sure it works in practice.

I think it does. I studied in the south of Spain (I am Spaniard too), and some of my fellow students comes from very poor sides of the city.

It is very frequent now to see teachers, lawyers and other careers that requires University level studies that are Gypsies, that were born and raised inside those communities.

IMHO free quality education is the perfect equalizer, but it is true that there is much to do there.
> it's embarrassing how many iOS extensions I have installed just to work around today's shitty websites

The user-hostile design of web sites in 2021 is appalling. Even simple text articles or blog posts have become horrible. I was just reading a blog post linked from HN which featured 3 different popups: two modals and a modeless sidebar popup that follows you as you scroll.

No, I don't want to subscribe to your email newsletter.

No, I don't want to sign up for a course or webinar or some service or whatever.

No, I don't want to know more about something other than what I'm trying to read on this page while you keep interrupting me and telling me I should be doing something else.

(And that was a site that lacked the typical annoying cookie popup – maybe it actually respected the "do not track" feature? That would be a first.)

Popups were despised by users to such an extent that web browsers built in an option to block them. The sensible response to such a clear user preference would have been to abandon popups, but instead web designers came up with a way to work around the popup blocking feature by using modal javascript panes and sliding overlays to obscure the page content.

Autoplaying video was similarly viewed as obnoxious and battery draining, so web browsers built in a feature to block it; web designers responded by doing their best to defeat that feature as well, and it seems to be an ongoing arms race.
I use and like fish, they mention the default color scheme, I keep meaning to change the unrecognised color from red to yellow. My general theory is that things with typos in them should be easier to read, than things recognized as syntactically correct, as you need to actually read the typo text to figure out what you've done wrong.
This website employs some weird "protection" disallowing selecting and copying text (as if View source or the Reader modedidn’t exist?)
I talked about the compilation aspect at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29372937
In addition to that there are various checkers for html.

There is lua-based LaTeX and js-based pdf. Just use html without JS.

"The fact that it's often preferable to rerender an HTML document as PDF, simply for readability, let alone archival, should speak volumes."

The fact that it's always preferable to export a LaTeX document as pdf...
Speaking of Tesla. I've always been wary of them for this reason.
It seems to me however that they actually have put a lot of thought and effort into making both the screen and the app work smoothly, so kudos to them for that.

But the question remains open, both for Tesla and others, if they'll put similar though into it in the future. And this is something you can't know beforehand.

If I buy a car I know that all the knobs and buttons physically in it will be there in 10 years. I have absoloutely no idea how OTA and app support will develop in 6 months.
The culprit is the JDK11-based JBR. I was ready to dump JetBrains tools due to their lagginess, but with some deviousness (which might not suit you), I now have them running slipperier than a wet fish, by using JDK15/16 and JAOTC.

Instructions are here: https://iam.georgecox.com/2021/11/24/making-jetbrains-ides-r...

(I am very keen to tell people who are in the same despair as I was about how slow JetBrains apps are out of the box -- hope it's not considered bad form to link to one's own blog post about it.)
IntelliJ IDEA along with the platform is the largest team at JetBrains and we're constantly working on bugs and features. If you can please point me to the issues you're referring to in YouTrack, I can check the status.
In any acquisition an assessment of the regulatory risks has to be part of the process for the vendor. They took a risk in selling to FB and that risk hasn’t paid off. No one is entitled to the ‘best’ price if it involves something which falls foul of competition law.

And on competition - will anyone else be interested in GIFs if the dominant social network owns the market leader?
India bans Bitcoin as legal tender
The same idea applies to Keypirinha [1], a small tool to open Apps etc. on Windows by typing. E.g. hit ALT+Space, type F.. and it'll immediately suggest Firefox, based on your previous use patterns. No menus, no clicking, no mouse. Just awesome.

No chance of that, everything they do is in Java...
Noooo i hope FB wont buy it! Giphy is an essential tool for trolling
Many counties are actually fine with people living full time in their cabins. It's the opposite that's problematic, using normal housing as cabins. But as you say, it can be an expensive and troublesome way to live, compared to buying something zoned properly.
Where is Adobe of all companies getting this data?
Yep, and has killed people via neti pot, although rare.

Microwaving water to boiling temp is an easy way to sterilize a small amount.
What is even their business model? What's the risk to consumers of Meta dominating the animated emoticon business?

Giphy strikes me of being one of those 'your product is actually a feature' companies.
I hate this art style. Facebook and related have been pushing it for a while and it has become just repulsive to see now.
What do you see as poor Linux support?
One of probably many name clashes: https://dino.im/
Only if there's no obvious 'dismiss' button, or my JS snippet to remove any fixed and modal elements doesn't work.
How does such a retroactive block work ? I imagine Meta executives have already taken over the reigns and directed the company towards full integration with facebooks other services. If Giphy had had a project in the works that could disrupt any of Facebooks monopolies than surely that project would be canceled by now and anyone involved would have transferred internally to the relevant Meta subgroup or left.
So if blocking the deal results in Meta loosing control of Giphy but getting it’s money back, wouldn’t that be a great outcome for Meta as they would have achieved their main goal for free ?
Am I the only one that refuses to call them meta?
>Well, I mean to be fair the coding services for most languages in vscode other than js (ie java, c, rust, python, go, php, c#, ruby specifically) suck totally compared to the JB tooling.

I have to disagree. JetBrains' tooling is superior for Java and Kotlin. For C#, Visual Studio is pretty good these days, even without Resharper. For everything else VSCode is unquestionably better. I can just point VSCode at a directory full of Python files with a virtualenv, and VSCode just "gets it", and lets me jump right in to editing, with autocomplete and suggestions. With PyCharm, I have to manually configure the interpreter root, set the project root, and wait for it to do a bunch of indexing before I can do anything at all. Yes, once it's all set up, I have marginally better suggestions, but as VSCode's Python tooling gets better, that setup cost becomes less and less worth it.

>The plug-ins for many languages are of massively varying quality and some of them really suck.

Agreed, but that cuts both ways. I would argue that, at this point, VSCode's Calva plugin for Clojure is superior to IntelliJ's Cursive. Similarly, I found VSCode's Rust plugin to be easier to set up and get started with in a WSL environment than the Rust plugin for CLion. Sure, VSCode's support for Java is a garbage fire and its support for Kotlin is nigh non-existent, but as far as I'm concerned, both sides have pretty huge blind-spots when it comes to languages that are "second-class citizens" for their respective ecosystems.

>Obviously, support languages with the full range of JB tooling, that is categorically better than the pathetic support vscode offers for, say, c#.

Whether the tooling can be categorically better is difficult to say. After all, the architecture of Fleet is pretty much the same as the architecture of VSCode. They're both editors which use a client-server architecture to enable suggestions and remote editing. I'm not sure how much of JetBrains' IDE work will translate over, and I'm not sure how much of it they want to bring over. As I stated in my other comment [1], unlike Microsoft, JetBrains doesn't have anything except its IDEs. They don't have a cloud platform that is more important to them than IDE sales. The IDEs are everything to them, and instead of making the IDEs better they're off chasing taillights.

This seems like a mid-2010s Mozilla maneuver (like FirefoxOS) and I hope it doesn't do as much damage to JetBrains as FirefoxOS did to Mozilla.

How does a UK regulator have any say in an M&A deal between two American companies? What am I missing?
> funny gif company

Giphy is integrated in smartphone keyboards for hundreds of millions of devices, and it is a fast track to a large trove of personal data for Facebook.
Is this why after all these years there is STILL no sane way to make accessible pdfs from LaTeX?

LaTeX is almost never semantic. People are encountered to think only about the document presentation (mostly due to LaTeX's own failures).

As for footnotes being "first class". It's just a macro, nothing first-class about that when compared to HTML's solution.
The US had more than English-style grammar schools.

I'm a programmer, but even I know some of the US presidents had rather informal training.

Lincoln, while mostly self-educated, received formal schooling from itinerant teachers.

Andrew Johnson's education was through his employer and "augmented by citizens who would come to Selby's shop to read to the tailors as they worked" says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Johnson#Childhood . (This reminds me of Cuban cigar factories of Ybor City, where the workers hired "El Lector" to read while they worked, from topics ranging from socialism and unionization to romantic novels.)

While my formal education didn't really cover it, there's also the infamous and repugnant American Indian boarding schools, whose inhumane practices continue to make the news as people continue to find new unmarked graves.

So that's three distinct education approaches in addition to the grammar school one.

FWIW, I interpret "The Prussian Model" as "tax-funded compulsory universal education." I think this linked-to essay, which cherry-picks quotes to interpret "The Prussian Model" as specifically an educational policy of non-thinking conformity, is poppy-cocky nonsense.

EDIT: there were also schools which started after the Civil War to teach freedmen, eg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampton_University (founded 1868) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_University (founded 1881). These both predate Frederick Taylor Gates (born 1853) who didn't start working with Rockefeller until 1889.
Vim/Neovim is practically instant, everything else it too slow in my book.
Is it (still) implemented in Java? (Not that JS electron is necessarily lighter ..)

I'd take a bit less of an absolutist standpoint myself, but, designing your application so that it has this event log (Command design pattern from back when, but I'm sure it has a more modern name nowadays) and its functionality is separated from its user interface are best practices.
I guess we are looking at different use cases for these tents.

I hike inside and around the arctic circle, sometimes during winter time.

That my shelter, that can take the beating that this kind of climate can dish out, weighs only around 1/30th of my total equipment weight makes it an incredible deal.

And subjectively very light.
It's not all or nothing. We don't need to give up because some aspects of a system are insecure. There are different threats and different answers.

Qubes got it right in its philosophy. We either get system secured by correctness or by isolation. The former is not possible on a Linux developer machine.
I think polyglot IDEs like VSCode serve a different niche to PyCharm, CLion etc. In a professional context, you usually end up doing 80% of your coding in one language, so it only makes sense to use an editor that semantically understands the language to amplify your coding. One common use case where I resort to IntelliJ tools is refactoring methods/classes/variables, since it feels so much safer.

My personal take is that IntelliJ stands to gain a lot of developer goodwill and gets the proverbial foot in the door by putting Fleet at the forefront.

I mean, even if a lot of licenses get cannibalized, they could always resort to selling user data. I don't think IntelliJ is that sort of company though, they seem pretty ethical from what I know about them.
So turn it all into a state run company instead? Your points sound as if that would be a potential solution. But that would have its own issues with somewhat twisted incentive structures.
> As companies locked down systems, users had less opportunity to explore, learn, optimize (and also break or infect) their systems.

With power comes great responsibility; I'm confident it was a tradeoff, because for every one competent and savvy user, there were ten that would have to call IT every week with yet another virus or breakdown.
I wonder how this would change if they wanted to optimize for total memory usage or runtime memory usage. Many of their target use cases (e.g. embedded) have more flash memory than ram.

Does anyone know of scheme (or other) such interpreters that better in that respect?
From the FT,

> Facebook controls 40 to 50 per cent of the UK display advertising market according to the CMA. Giphy had offered paid advertising in the US and the CMA argued that, absent the merger, Giphy could have gone on to expand that service into the UK — something the company has denied.

I'm guessing its related to this point.

However,

> . In a response to the CMA’s provisional findings Meta accused the watchdog of “engaging in extraterritorial over-reach”

And yet the EU is also doing the same,

No, the coffin corner is something else, and it doesn't apply to the SR71 (or any aircraft capable of supersonic flight).

The coffin corner is where an aircraft is flying as slow as it possibly can, but that slow speed is also very close to its maximum mach speed. So the aircraft is both in severe danger of stalling and losing lift because the speed is too low, and in severe danger of getting supersonic airflow over the wings and losing lift because the speed is too high. This occurs at high altitudes where the air is thinner and the stall speed increases.

The problem with the coffin corner is that you need to maintain the exact air speed very accurately. If you let it increase or decrease by just a couple of knots, then one of the two failures happens, and you can pitch down, which will further increase your speed above supersonic, potentially making the pilot lose control or causing damage to the airframe.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffin_corner_(aerodynamics)
It's based on the JVM (Kotlin) and parts of it with Rust.
JetBrains are not opposed to giving IDEs away & upselling which they're already doing for their Intelli IDEA Community [1] and PyCharm Community IDEs [2].

Since this is a direct answer to VS Code's dominance, I expect they'll do something similar and have a free version that can can be run on commercial hosting options, e.g. Space, Cloud & Docker.

Which is one reason why they've switched to subscription systems to PC applications as well - Adobe's suite comes to mind, Office365, and probably Autocad and co as well?

Because their old system didn't work. They were forced to always bolt on new features and redesigns, whether they added value or not. And there were plenty of people who never upgraded, because what they had worked just fine.
I'm not really knowledgeable about all this, but mining of PoW currencies right now seems to rely a lot on mining pools. Isn't there a risk that they are "the rich" and people trust them? What's the difference with PoS there?
