There are so many questionable things in this rambling waffle that it's hard to know where to start.

The idea that most people "not at risk" is wrong.

The idea that collective action is all about trusting government is wrong, it's primarily abut supporting the other people in your community. it's a very USA'ian line of thinking to jump to "Imma screw over my fellow citizens because the government can't be trusted. Freedom!".

The idea that Florida and Sweden are good examples is wrong.

And as above, the idea that the "freedom" implications and the "we've been lied to narrative" not the actual deadly pandemic is wrong. Do not confuse the one crisis (of democratic ideas) with the other (of infectious molecules) or your responses will not be appropriate. They operate at completely different levels of abstraction.

The idea that "we haven't seen the hospital scenarios you describe materialize" is, in my local area, wrong.

> Look at Howard Springs Australia. Look at the vaccine passports. Look at the thread you're posting in. You probably think you're exempt

I have no idea of the point you're trying to make, and please to make no assumptions at all about me.

I googled "Howard Springs" but I have no idea what crazy talking point I am supposed to be nodding along with now.

> governments need to tell me - Exactly when they'll declare this over

You can't vote on the virus's timeline. The only politicians who have tried to declare "it's over" are charlatans.

> governments need to tell me - What's in the vaccine.

Do I need to go into the reasons why this is paranoid delusional, confused idiocy? Governments don't design or manufacture the vaccines. Without a bio-medical background that you and I both lack it's just not comprehensible. And lastly, can you not google the layman's explainers and research papers? I understand why you didn't post this line alone in a comment - it would be flagged and deleted.

All in all, I feel like someone at a party who has engaged a stranger in conversation, and now regrets it, as they speak a lot but say absolutely nothing worth hearing.

This all sounds very noble, but it will last precisely as long as it takes someone to right-click copy right-click paste.

Sure you can verify the hash and signature etc, but no one reading an article is going to bother verifying the signature apart from the real die-hards. Heck my mum can't even verify she typed in the right URI and ends up on all sorts of crazy scam sites (e.g. "I went to google and they said I had to call them about a virus and pay them £150 to fix it").

If someone posts something to reddit3, then someone copies it and reposts it again with a different hash and sig, what will happen? Nothing I expect.

My issue with Kubernetes is mostly broken and oudated YAML configuration for packages. Try google for Nginx kubernetetes, most of results are broken if you apply them. Worse, you have no idea to fix them rather than delete resources and try out another way.

It's like someone try to update a REST API and forget to update YAML swagger documentation.

So K8S, or K3S is not an issue, they're fine, it's the configuration that sucks to keep up with.
FedEx and the Car Parts
This library originated from my need to handle 3D transformations, poses, trajectories, etc. from various software systems that often use different conventions. It has been developed for more than 7 years now and is in a fairly robust and well-tested state. It might be useful, for instance, in robotics, computer vision, motion capture, ...
"cheaper" is an understatement.
There are also pretty decent in-betweens based on AOSP like CalyxOS or /e/.

I'm pretty happy with the transition to CalyxOS. Everything works as before, but I can now limit internet access to apps, and there is a much more consumer friendly view of permissions. Not tying the whole phone to system-level user with google services feels great. Specifics that need it still gets it, like YouTube.
Well that's more of a limitation of what PCs could do at the time. Large levels full of monsters like Doom had in 2D, could not be handled in 3D even by the high end PCs at the time so that's why the design direction was so different and did not age well.
I believe it has more to do with the fancy visuals and the gRPC than with evil machinations.

As someone who works on an app that has both mobile and desktop/web - doing visual stuff on the desktop/web can be quite hard unless you have top notch frontend people, while for mobile, it’s much simpler.
My experience is that if you interrupt a single transition in Hue in any way (i.e. changing the brightness during the “Fade duration”) that it simply cancels the transition and will not attempt to override what you have specified. I imagine the problem arises from if you have multiple “automations” for different steps of brightness, in which case there isn’t a good way for the system to know if you intended to override future automations too.
I don’t find comments that dismiss one type of technology over another without any reaons to be very interesting. Apparently there are two kinds of technology that are discussed here: language technology and OS technology. Or at least that’s the two that they want to focus on. Yet you dismiss one of them as pretty much irrelevant.[1] Yet you can do the same for the OS technology, if this was about something that was implemented on OS Y: “It’s not interesting to me that this was developed on OS Y. The abstract techniques that they used are more interesting to me than the specific OS they used.” This would effectively communicate that either (1) the OS is irrelevant, or (2) the OS is uninteresting to you. (1) is doubtful (then threads like this would be irrelevant) and (2) is just an expression of your own proclivities and interests.

It would seem obvious that developing certain things on certain OSes have tradeoffs. And likewise for programming languages. Unless you want to be consistent and subscribe to the ridiculously relativist idea that everything is the same; it’s just a matter of what you do with them.

Complaining about evangelism without offering any kind of criticism of what is supposedly being evangelized betrays just as much bias as the supposed missionaries.

> Receiving Email from strangers

Lets walk through the proposed solutions to this issue, because this is the biggest problem I see with the proposed new way of mailing:

> In the simplest case, the server might never give out stamps

For me, that's not feasible. I hand out my mail addr. with cards, as signature, its on websites, in READMEs, etc. I knowingly invite people to contact me via mail.

> The server might require the putative sender to solve a CAPTCHA of some kind.

How does that work if the mail is generated automatically, eg. a coworker makes me the recipient of a customers monitoring system? How does this work if the mail is generated without a GUI, eg. using a terminal mail-client?

> The server might require the sender to write a short sentence of why they want to reach the recipient. If that contains keywords chosen by the recipient, the server issues the stamp.

How does this solve the problem of being able to be contacted by strangers? The would-be sender has to know the keywords. If these are publicly available, eg. in a README, then there is no security, if they are not, sending a mail becomes guesswork for the sender.

> The server might require some sort of proof of work.

Let's forget for a moment how much trouble is caused by the energy consumption of cryptocurrencies, but how would that work on, say, a mobile device with already limited battery power?

> The server could require a very small payment.

The article points out the problem with this already. This would mean companies that can afford the fees are now free to spam me with advertising, but someone from an underprivileged community, who found a bug in my project, may think twice about contacting me.

Edit:
In my opinion, spam and phishing are not problems that should be solved by changing or replacing SMTP.

Don't get me wrong, I am not defending SMTP. It has a lot of shortcomings that need to be addressed, the biggest are an incabability to transmit binary data without resorting to base64 encoding, and the lack of built-in encryption support.

But spam and phising are issues to be solved at the application level, not the protocol level. Spam isn't that different from portscans, and we don't change TCP/IP to prevent these.
Exact same thing happend with Discord for me. Just that I had no way to get it unlocked. I don't trust that anyone actually looked into it.
They do not "just buy from x". They have their own motherboard design and they also got Amazon flavored Intel CPUs. It was just question of time to start to produce their own CPU. A vertically integrated stack pays off in the long run.
Case in point:

20 years ago DHL told me the credit cards I was waiting for in Santa Cruz, California were suddenly in transit to South Korea.

As a one off it was a funny story. 10 years later they told me the computer that was sitting in a depot in London was on a ship back to the US.

I'll keep telling those stories until everyone involved had long since retired.
It was perfectly obvious to anyone with a brain that they were lying. The support for war was massive in the MSM. The media was complicit in a war crime and every politician who did not actively oppose the war is, to this day, guilty of complicity in an illegal war of aggression. Noone has ever been or ever will be held accountable.

So yes, take anything the presstitutes write, turn it around, and you will be closer to the truth.
Web 1/2/3 is a designation of the global structure of web, if you don't see how 1 and 2 differ (like op) then you don't care that 2 and 3 do.
Three.js does a lot more though than just being a WebGL API wrapper (the WASM => JS calling overhead is negligable these days compared to the time spent inside WebGL).

Scenes with many Three.js Javascript objects might benefit because those cause GC overhead which simply wouldn't exist on the WASM side (where those objects would be regular C++ objects on the WASM heap - of course, if "C++17" means that memory management is mostly done with C++ (shared or unique) smart pointers, then the GC overhead may creep in again via reference counting and/or cache misses on the WASM side).

(you're right of course that most of the time there won't be much of a difference, but not because of the WASM => JS marshalling but because of the time spent inside WebGL calls, which can be shockingly high).

PS: Yeah, looking at he C++ headers, it's shared_ptr<> all the way down :( This might actually add more refcounting overhead when natively compiled than what typical Three.js code spends in JS garbage collection.
Front End Developer Roadmap, Guide and Resources
I often feel like I’m missing a key piece of technological or intellectual insight when I read bullish articles like the linked one. I cannot see a single use-case in there that would definitively be improved by the use of blockchain, and in most cases, I’d expect the opposite to happen.
Man. I really do want to like it, but this update is the first one that gives me the Microsoft-finally-took-over vibes. Traversal and with that exploration just became so much harder. The landscape is now riddled with holes that you either build scraggly bridges over, or lead to massive detours. The sides of bodies of water are much higher and steeper on average, making it impossible to see the landscape you're passing, and getting up there to take a look is tedious.

So you're basically stuck near spawn unless you want to spend much more time getting around.

A lot of surface iron was replaced with copper, which is useless, meaning progress is now slower than ever, and grinding becomes even more of a necessity. Generally, many of the items that now clutter the inventory are mostly useless, and the inventory needs constant attention.

Minecraft is a fantastic game that I have spent well over a thousand hours on over the last decade, with many more to come very likely. That being said, with the account transition to Microsoft/Xbox and this update that gives me personally the "Microsoft knows whats best for its users" vibes that I still distinctly remember from WLM and Skype, I am definitely less optimistic about the game's future than I was a few years ago. I do hope my caution proves to be unwarranted.

My country of nationality, residence, and issuing bank are all different. On top of that, my name is odd for my place of residence and contains characters outside of A-Z (which makes names not match 100% on cards)

I get hit hard by anti-fraud systems.

If I budget 1-2h for any given online purchase, I have <50% success rate with Paypal and ~75% with Stripe. If I contact the bank and merchant, the issue is always with the payment processor. Trying to resolve through the payment processor goes nowhere. The only thing that can work is try again with another of my 6 legit cards (mix of visa/Mac debit/credit) and if I’m lucky it goes through. Sometimes the next day; I guess some cool down is in place.

This feels like discrimination or xenophobia with extra steps. If you’re international enough and have some bad luck, the systems will perceive you just like a scammer and will deny you service or require hours of intervention because of things like your name, location history, and nationality. (For those who haven’t noticed, sometimes PayPal will arbitrarily require you to create an account in order to complete a single payment. Nationality is required information in this step)

If it’s not something I really want provided only by a single seller, I will nowadays abort at merchants only accepting PayPal, and at the first failure of Stripe. It’s not worth the headache.
No it wasn't always like it.

I used to subscribe to it from the early 2000's onwards and eventually cancelled my subscription about 5-6 years ago as it did become apparent how much of it was politically motivated or cosmopolitan nepotism amongst their tech friends.

I went through a phase of not reading them but taking them on holiday to read poolside and eventually had like 3 years worth to read and because I read them all within a short time frame I really noticed both the shift towards activism and also what utter nonsense they'd promote only for 2-3 years later the thing they'd promoted to disappear without a trace.
Funny that you mention Nintendo Switch, because Nintendo made a non-standard implementation of usb-c there and connecting console to the standard compliant cable and charger can brick or fry the console. Perfect example of USB-Confusion :)
The idea that electrons "push each other" is misleading and an oversimplification.

Watch the video. Like waves in the ocean, are water molecules pushing each other and making the wave? Or is the wave carrying the molecules with itself? Or both things at the same time?

Language choice certainly is correlated with certain aspects of the outcome of a project but I continue to hold that it is not a causal factor. Causal factors would be the quality of the team involved, the resources they were allotted, the requirements that were imposed on them, in that order.

E.g. you cannot expect an incompetent and resource-starved team with a poorly specified project to produce a good outcome simply because they were forced to work in Rust (or any language).

Language choice is incidental, not causal. In my experience, anyone who has operated otherwise has failed every single time.

> It's all about the color today, like in the bad old times.

No, its about identity forged largely in shared experience of White racism now, and in the bad old days (and for the racists that haven't left those days still) it was (and is) about ancestry, not color. The older racist rules specified a specific degree of African descent below which a free person of mixed descent was considered White (at various times in various US jurisdictions, this might be anywhere from 1/4 to 1/16), while later (mostly in the Jim Crow era) many jurisdictions adopted a “one drop rule”.

> Every passionate ideologue thinks that both the community and the moderators are biased in favor of their opponents

I don't think you are explicitly biased. I don't think you are trying to promote one political ideology over another.

I do think, that due to the way your rules are set up, and how you enforce them, you unintentionally end up attracting one, and driving away the other. And I think this process has been going on slowly for a long time, and that you may not be noticing it, but that HN has turned into a home for some pretty extreme viewpoints in the process, that are just hidden behind a thin veneer of respectability.

Those "unfree licenses" are the reason you're not forced to use Windows on desktops/laptops/phones/servers/toasters/supercomputers (it does none of these things well even now, imagine the world we would have if it didn't have any competition at all).

GPL puts the user's freedom first. Every developer is mostly a user anyway, unless you're writing absolutely everything from scratch like they do in SerenityOS. So I like that stance very much. If you don't, nobody is forcing you to interact with GPLed software in any way.

I had a similar experience starting a company in August of 2000 right as the dot com bubble was crashing. It worked out, perhaps partly because we had a similar drive to do it against any odds. Nothing like a strong belief in what you are doing.
>Most of us here might consider that abusive but it might remove ambiguity and put the employer on safer ground legally in the event of a later dispute, and lawyers gonna lawyer.

There's no "but" here. It's abusive. It's reflective of the poor negotiating position employees often have with their employers. This is why the clause usually goes away once you're in demand.

Lawyers make a convenient scapegoat to hide behind for all sorts of bullshit (second only to "it's standard, it's standard!") but they are a service and they do as they are instructed. It's naive to think otherwise.
Might also be a language matter on OP's part? For instance, I know that Europeans often use the term "windmill" for wind turbine, and get corrected that they're using the wrong engineering term.

But for many European languages, the word "wind turbine" would be translated to "windmill", even going as far as labelling parts with the word. Never worked with wind turbines, but been curious about this for years since the language is so systematic. A documentary I recently watched had a Danish wind turbine marked as "Mølle 1" or something like that, translating to "Mill 1".

I'd be surprised if Norwegians didn't use the word "kabel" (cable) to refer to the thing that carries ski lifts.
