I’m honestly just surprised you accepted those claims at least enough to comment and remark on them in this way, without even stopping to consider that nobody would make it 18 years there being that inept and foolish. And that such a fantastically moronic person would take your “good look” tut tutting in any possible way you could intend. Like, is that meant to be a warning? What’s the call to action telling someone they’re not presenting a good look?

What if none of it were true at all? What’s the message that tells us? How does one scream when all they have is a Hacker News comment box? IS THIS REAL? Happy Holidays, friend.
I've been waiting for JWST for years ever since I heard what it will be capable of. I believe detecting bio-signatures on a planet around another star will be one of the most profound perspective shifts humans will experience. (Even more than Copernicus putting the sun in its place.)

And I do believe there is a high probability of detecting those bio-signatures.
There are definitely SIP trunks that allow 911 calling. Mine does, and they also allow you to pay for E911.
I think all these negative responses come from those who can afford a private school for their kids.
Appreciate the feedback here (Sourcegraph CTO). I agree that's annoying. Kicking off a conversation on our end to figure out how to fix that. In the meantime, the workaround would be to create a separate GH login, which can be used to add any public repo to our index. Or what's the URL of the repo(s) you'd like to index and we'll get those added to our index.
We don't need to treat average children as if they were exceptional. If they can't learn, why waste their time and taxpayer money when they can just enter the workforce earlier and develop some self-esteem?
> It's the market value that derives from the benefits the land itself provides (crops it can grow, proximity to a desirable job, etc)

Do they really lump profitability from agriculture in with location, rent profit, etc.? It seems unfair to tax farming, a labor intensive job, equivalently to passive income propositions.
On the plus side, can a two year old phone even run the bloatware that is Teams?
This is not an issue I have ever had. Ever. I use to call 911 quite frequently, as well as part of my job duties (I worked in a group home with individuals who had developmental disabilities and were quite violent). I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but this should most definitely not be happening. Pick-up should be instantaneous.
Show me a school curriculum that actually teaches how academic science is done today, instead of making students memorize laundry lists of inaccurate and outdated factoids about cell biology, nutrition, psychology, chemistry...
Yeah Google has never said it but I think it's widely assumed Google pushed Kotlin as a hedge during their never-ending Java lawsuit with Oracle.
I doubt that a bash script will be concurrent. If you are running your scripts in paralell, then chances are, that they will be screwed because of some other dependency/side effect.
Both are deadweight loss.
I would venture that most people who started programming back then were familiar with basic digital circuitry like adders and latches, so probably, in the sense that you might know how an engine works without being able to build one from scratch. RadioShack still sold electronics components. My early 80s alarm clock came with a full schematic.
More precisely, people writing C++ code who fork a copy of cpgg into their project, and maintain their fork forever, never peeking at the upstream again, have no external dependency.

Those who maintain some relationship with the cpgg upstream repo have some sort of dependency.

(C++ itself is a heavy dependency. People who don't use C++ demonstrate that C++ is not necessary.) Dependencies are not all the same; they have different weights. Three light dependencies could be equal to one heavy one.)

cpgg is currently not comparable to something like Bison. Bison has documentation, and an active mailing list where you can get quality help from knowledgeable people. It has multiple contributors.

It supports multiple languages, so your parser-writing skill transfers to different stacks: e.g. from C to Java, for instance. In many cases you should be able to port the grammar directly; just the semantic actions need a rewrite.

It has some novel diagnostic features, like the recently added feature of being able to generate counterexamples to explain conflicts.

It has the old diagnostic features, like the y.output file so you can pore over the LALR(1) state graph, and a debug mode.

It supports something called "push parsing": inverting the control flow, so that the parser becomes a state machine to which you can feed tokens one at a time. That makes it possible to do things like, oh, multiplex multiple parse jobs in parallel into a single event loop.
It’s a double-edged sword. California or other states might have more environmentally friendly legislation or support net neutrality and such. I lived in US and Europe and it is what it is. I can see the benefits and the downsides.
Expected lifetime earnings for a typical doctor are ~$7M compared to ~$1.4M for the median person. The pay might not be "that great" by your standards but it's still 4x more than the typical person earns, even taking into account ~$500k of education costs. A typical lawyer makes only ~$5M and has similarly expensive education and a demanding work schedule.

Software engineers only started earning that kind of money in the last decade or so. When today's new doctors were starting off on their education path ten years ago, doctors probably still earned twice as much as even top software engineers.

Medicine is also prestigious in a way that few other careers are. People take notice when you say you're a doctor, and a lot of people enjoy that feeling. A huge number of parents pressure their kids into pursuing medicine, having your kid become a doctor is a surefire way to win the status game among your friends.

I personally know quite a few doctors. I'd say for most of them that desire to help people and desire for personal status were both motivating factors in their career choice.

Fair point. But to me, I hold the reply to a higher standard. Why? Because a claim can be interesting (in the HN sense), even without evidence. A "no it's not" is less interesting, even though it's also a claim.

I can relate to this so much. In my first job I was working with analysts who spent a lot of time generating reports. I was a SQL dev who had learnt python recently and automated my report generation. It cut down work from 1 day per report to less than a second. I shared this with my manager who shared it with the team. The team ended up sending me the files for me to run it. And the ones who wanted to run the script on their system ended up having me on-call support half the time fixing issues unrelated to the script.

I cited a system upgrade and informed everyone the scripts were gone. We're back to how we were, except I had a lot of time in my hands now. Since it was my first job I felt bad for not helping out people. After my experience I feel it's not worth it.

Therein lies the insanity; a person can create {art, music, game asset} and nothing stops others from consuming that thing. Web3/crypto does not solve that -- it only 'proves' that one person 'owns' the created thing. Abstractly, that's cool. Concretely, who the hell cares? I got to see the jpeg and listen to the album exactly as the 'owner' of the digital asset was able to.
Shipping the org chart. One team writes the Lock Screen dialer, some other people wrote the message bus thing that allows apps to intercept calls.
How does that fit into IT team landscale ?

Do teams of developers that built something together but is not what was really needed gonna admit they made a mistake? Or just gonna iteratively change to something they should have started with?
I think the negativity here is just because fundraising announcements (especially massive ones) tend to attract that kind of response. Admittedly fundraising announcements are not very interesting to an audience wanting to know what the product actually does. But I think what buf is building is not very controversial, it's just developer tooling that obviously should exist and doesn't for some reason, maybe because Google owns Protobuf but Google doesn't really have a strong incentive to make sure external developers have everything they need here.

Happy to answer emails but can't guarantee I have anything interesting to say.
> ... FSF's philosophy. Limiting freedom in order to protect it.

You sure have some lopsided idea if you think that the goal of opensource is to protect the "freedom" of the businesses, who want to make money from free labour. FSF opensource license exists to ensure freedom for the end consumers of the software.
Nothing is completely invulnerable to a modern integrated air defense system, but the F-22 and F-35 are specifically designed to have at least a chance to survive. They have low observability which makes them difficult to target, good sensors for avoiding SAM radars, and high power-to-weight ratios that give pretty good odds of evading missiles.

If those 5th-generation fighters are able to successfully suppress the air defenses then A-10s and other obsolete fighters can come in later for strike and air support missions. But against an intact IADS they would take extremely high casualties.

See: Owning huge amounts of land is uniquely antisocial.

The point here is to maintain a society and some things must come first, namely material things which paintings are not. Of course, art history shows us time and time again the vital importance of material sustenance in creating and preserving works of art. If you really care about art, you have to care about the material foundations that make rich and meaningful social livelihoods possible.
There's lots of human variation, sure. That hardly proves that education doesn't work or that the same skills would be acquired otherwise. I can hardly imagine that we'd reach the same literacy rate without an education system.

Practice under instructor guidance helps. I teach robotics and other STEM classes. The robotics league that my teams participate in measures teams with both objective and subjective measures: presentation skills matter.

Over a term, I see the less technically students develop a lot of hands-on knowledge about mechanics, electronics, and problem solving. I see the one who are already technically inclined build a lot of presentation and communication skills. And everyone learns a lot more about project management and organization. There's a massive apparent difference in abilities at the end of the term and the beginning.

Yes, they are somehow really hard to get in the US for decent pricing, but in the EU they are quite affordable (according to geizhals.eu ).
A big issue is a pure land value tax is politically unpopular. That would mean significantly raising taxes for agricultural land. For most single family homes
I'm not sure that it's the concept of pointers that make C code harder to maintain than other languages. Lots of languages have pointers, including Rust.

It's a question of whether unguarded pointers (and a lack of language features that keep pointer math from devolving into an unreadable mess) are good to have in areas where pointer errors can result in critical bugs. We started discouraging goto statements not because developers didn't understand them, but because they did understand them, and they understood that the tools you use influence the type of code you write. And Rust doesn't even really get rid of pointers, it just adds rules around them.

We all accept some degree of abstraction/safety tradeoff, otherwise we'd program in lower-level languages than C that are even simpler and even easier to understand. C does introduce a lot of complexity over more primitive assembly languages. And Rust introduces a lot of complexity over C.

Different people pick different points where they think the tradeoffs are optimized. But we have a pretty large amount of data suggesting that even <quote>good</quote> programmers in industry make pointer errors in C. So it's pretty obviously not lack of understanding that's causing these issues, it's that unrestricted memory access and pointer math is inherently error-prone. Whether it's SO error-prone that's it's worth introducing a much more complicated, rigid language into the kernel is left as an exercise for the reader. There is a downside to introducing more complexity here, all abstractions have downsides.

But it's real dismissive to say that if everyone understood C pointers then their code wouldn't ever devolve into an unreadable mess. I just don't think that's an opinion that can be backed up by any real evidence, pretty much every org struggles to some extent with writing secure C code. And we have a lot of experience in the field of software engineering that should have taught us by now that sometimes unreadable code is the result of language affordances and patterns.
Well, I'd expect them to bring the phones into compliance with the law. Quoting section 22.921:

> Mobile telephones manufactured after February 13, 2000... must incorporate a
special procedure for processing 911 calls. Such procedure must recognize when a 911 call is made and, at such time, must override any programming in the mobile unit that determines the handling of a non-911 call...

If a phone can't access 911, it's not legal. Frankly, it's an indictment of the system architects that this bug is possible at all.
So I think there's two big differences.

1. Most people use facebook to keep track of their friends and family rather than email these days. Part of it is that you can announce the new baby in the family and it goes to everyone. But the FB algorithm decides what you view. So the most engaging a post is, the more likely it will show up in your feed.

The problem is that not all posts go to everyone, and if you actually want to see what's happening with Uncle Ed's cancer treatment, you have to physically go to his facebook page. Why? See point #2:

2. There was a time before Twitter/FB where ads paid for the server the forum was on. Social media realized that "targeted engagement" could be profitable. So by tweaking their algorithms to keep people on the platform, they would make more in ad revenue as they can sell more ads.

Of course this led to stories where good friends had died a year ago, and the facebook algorithm "neglected" to prioritize it on feeds, because it wasn't as engaging as the Bills/Jets game the day before.

I think those are great points and I often try to look at it from the perspective of my child's teacher, not to mention the regulatory nightmares the administration goes through. I am friends and family with many public school teachers. I also think that's the point of the article though. It's hard to get a sub because teachers are quitting, not because of being out sick.

Fair points: there are instances where long term gradual changes tooks small steps each time to reach a point far from the initial step.

This is a very interesting topic to me, I am on a team that is responsible for developing new ideas, innovations, IP. When the lock down first came, our production fell way off and it was difficult to come up with really creative stuff like we had in the past. We tried a bunch of different things, Teams, Bluejeans, Jamboard, Slack etc. etc. The interesting thing is that about a year into it, we started to pick up the pace and now I feel like we have adapted. We still have all those tools, but what I think changed is us, I think once everyone sort of accepted, OK, we are not getting back into a room together in front of a white board any time soon, we all started to figure it out. Now everyone feels like we can do just as well as before, maybe better, it just took a while for everyone to adapt to a new way of approaching brainstorming and innovation.

I think Humans are innately creative and innovative and will find a way.

But having said all that, I think there is an opportunity here to develop better tools for Brainstorming, maybe some sort of AR/VR or something.
So then yes it was done on the user's device.

You just agree with the complaint that yes apple was scanning people's devices in certain circumstances.
