I don't know why you are being downvoted. I used to use Notepad years ago as it's practically guaranteed to exist on every Windows machine. I can't say much about productivity, but performance was abysmal for larger files. As for reliability, the main reason I never use Notepad now, even for most trivial things, is that Notepad++ will always bring my session back, with all open tabs, regardless of whether I saved the file or not. It doesn't matter if my battery died or Windows decided it's now time to restart the system after updating - Notepad++ will keep my work safe and Notepad will not. So speaking about reliability is probably a bigger joke than productivity.

They could say "We always wanted to keep the tool light, fast to start and reasonably efficient for small files, and we have managed to do that" - and this would be OK. There is no need to serve bullshit to a technical community.
There's literally only one poster complaining about the new notepad UI (a brand new account).

It's as much of a meme to see the top post on an HN story is "OMG why are all the top posts such toxic whiners" and scroll down to not see any.

I don't think that's ever a reasonable tradeoff! Network access goes down all the time, and should be a fundamental assumption of any software.

Maybe I'm too old, but I can't imagine a seasoned dev, much less a tech lead, omitting planning for that failure mode
What else should I say? I think existing (centralized) render farms just work well. Although there's the $RNDR token which seems more like hype to me than actual improvement and again, arguably (probably) worse.
It depends on your expectations of "easy".

When compared to consumer router devices, then no.

When compared to configuring enterprise networking kit using the CLI ... well ... perhaps. Mikrotik does have some short cuts / UI features. But if you want to do anything vaguely complex, you're going to need to put some serious time into getting your head around the way the system processes packets.

If getting to grips with how packets flow through different subsystems in your router doesn't really appeal (check out https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Packet_Flow) then there are better, simpler options which are still powerful.
you're right it's.... special. Let me give you my thought process:

- One time pricing can be a real hurdle for users to pay upfront. Remember adobe costing a lot of money up front. The upside is that after this initial huge hurdle your free to use the product. For the business non recurring revenue means they need to batch changes to make buying the product worth while. This results in a long cycle between updates.

- Subscription pricing aligns the business with it's users. Users pay only for what they use and the business can ship features to the user as fast as possible.

- The downside is the subscription is often 'per user' and is done on an ongoing basis. You pay for the tool even if you don't use it.

- Usage based pricing: you only pay for what you use in the smallest quantity that is understandable. This is what I use and what AWS uses for example. I think this is a really fair pricing model. If you're only doing one project it might cost you 3 bucks, but if you are a company that uses the tool fulltime you pay accordingly.

It might turn out that too many people are turned off by this pricing, I don't know. It is easier to change to a regular pricing model then to a weird one :-).

If you open one of the examples that is one project. Your project can be published at one unique URL.
> the one language that works everywhere and which they have no choice but to support: C

I've been tinkering with Rust bindings for Apple Core Audio. AUGraph, which has a C interface, was deprecated a few years ago. Its replacement, AVAudioEngine, has an Objective-C/Swift API. :(

There are a lot of generalized cross-platform libraries for guis, audio engines, etc, which attempt to abstract over the differences between native libraries. While noble, these are always going to be very limited and difficult because the library interfaces may make radically different assumptions and have very different high-level structures.

To me it seems as though the best strategy to help programmers who want to do cross-platform development similar to you is to focus on providing complete bindings for the platform-specific native libraries (for me the bindings language is Rust but it could theoretically be another one like Go). Once those exist, it expands the amount of code you write that can be shared. It also becomes more straightforward to write cross-platform abstraction libraries.

However, my sense is that the platform vendors are heading towards a future where C ABIs are eschewed and where sharing code will be utterly impossible.
The article also getting on for almost 10 years old.
If they replace the current high performance codebase inherited from the previous system with a much slower UI people will complain. Not to mention changes in bugs and behavior.
I don't find anything about houses in the first one. Can you share where the critical data is, so I don't have to read all seven?

Anyone in the suburbs can move to the city if they want to, and the ubiquity of expensive downtown condo projects for empty-nesters demonstrates that a fair number do. So your citing of a lack of alternatives is pretty unconvincing. You're left with forcing people to do what they choose not to.
Everything I said was factually correct. I never said anything about testing or approval for viruses.

No, what was described was specifically "the same Wikipedia page their friend saw, adapted to their screen". "The same Wikipedia page their friend saw" meaning the same contents - the same rendered Wikitext - they don't care about getting the same experience, they want the same data. "adapted to their screen" meaning NOT seeing the mobile experience on a desktop!

Usually this refers to falling back to a different region in AWS. It's typical for systems to be deployed in multiple regions due to latency concerns, but it's also important for resiliency. What you call "a very small edge case" is occurring as we speak, and if you're vulnerable to it you could be losing millions of dollars.
Not in my state. You can find rent at $350/month depending on the area and stuff. It's at least $450/month for health insurance, and that's with a $5k deductible, so you need a substantial savings. That leaves $200 per month for food, car (because it's rural), utilities, etc. Unlikely.
marginally less suck-ish.
> Also, if you have the computer checking everything, then those 5 people that are supposed to be redundantly computing the navigation plan are highly likely to be less diligent.

This is surprisingly easy to fix. If the computer notices before the human, call that a failure. Say, if the computer spots terrain higher than the current depth within X radius (that wasn't intentionally planned for), that's a failure.

I assume the military already has a regime in place to handle "you dun goofed". You can string failsafes after goofed but before the wall.
> It's just odd to claim it's somehow ~unclear that automated tests aren't good for productivity.

No it's not, because it is unclear. Where's the actual evidence? How do you even define and measure "productivity" in software development?

My customers define productivity as "Delivered according to spec on time and within budget." That's the only measurement they care about. As hard as it is for programmers to understand beautiful "clean" code and automated tests are generally not stakeholder priorities. Yes, bad code and no testing has a cost that may have to get paid down the road. I think stakeholders understand that software will fall short of perfection.

For a long time the standard practice was unit testing, integration testing, and (if you were lucky) rigorous QA. Plenty of usable software got written that way. There's nothing inherently wrong with TDD and automated testing, and when done right those techniques can reduce the need for more complex testing (integration and QA) and help the team understand what the code is supposed to do. That's not the only way to write good code that works, but it's one way.

The problems of defining, measuring, and improving programmer productivity have been known and discussed since the 1960s. We have a set of fairly vague best practices (also known since the 60s/70s) but there's no silver bullet. The problems with developing non-trivial software in team environments mainly come from communication and team dynamics, not from lack of style guides or automated tests. Every little bit can help, of course, but let's not kid ourselves that TDD and automated testing are magic fairy dust.
How close are you to soccer fandom? As far as merch sales for a player, players might lose value quickly, but fan retention is very sticky: You aren't going to find a lot of people that suddenly root for a new team once a decade. So when in 1996 Barcelona spends about 20 million for Ronaldo de Lima, they were getting young fans that stay with them for decades, and who get their children to root for the same team, as arguing with dad about soccer every day is exhausting. Hell, having a great team also makes your school-level teams more attractive, and gives you more talent: Does Messi move to la Masia just because Barcelona paid a bunch of money, the school quality, or also because there's a great chance to face great competition in a top club?

Barcelona is still getting value from Cruyff, Maradona or Ronaldo, and will still make money from the Messi years for decades to come, even if the merch sales for his shirts drop to zero. Fandom leads to more fandom, and that comes from good results. A team like Manchester City has put top money into their team for decades, but the team's value lags a bit not because their short term results: They've been great for over a decade. It's the residual value of decades of good performance from other teams that they have to compete with.

> dark mode looks more modern, unlike these damn boomer UIs from the 90s (sarcasm).

At least for me dark mode brings back all the feelings of the 80s text UI, which was predominantly white/gray on black or perhaps white/yellow on dark blue - and quite readable. (I also recall that in some domains MDA monochrome monitors with green or orange on black were popular).
Correct, a plain reading of what I wrote says that as well. NFTs convey current possession of the NFT. Nobody is confused about that and there is an entire market for that because its good enough, people can prove current possession of the NFT for gated goods, clubs, credit, royalties, dividends and more.
Notepad has been an annoyance for decades. Before I clicked the link I thought there might be enhanced features and reworked usability. Unfortunately the new features fall short. The one they seem proudest of is a dark mode.
>I'm not going to sugar coat it, public schooling is terrible in most dense large cities in America.

I don't see how this is relevant to housing, unless you also believe public schooling worldwide is terrible in most dense cities. It's a uniquely American problem that public schooling is terrible in all but the most elite of zip codes. Rural schools suffer the same problem too, and it has little to do with housing (except for, surprisingly, Texas, which allocates funding for schools at the state level). In short, in the US, school quality is not a function of density; it's a function of funding; and in the US school funding is primarily allocated from property taxes.

>BTW, I would love to know more about why you feel suburbia destroys local businesses and how it exacerbate homelessness,

Suburban zoning (as designed in America) lead to strip malls and big box dependence. When every store is 10 miles from each other, you end up in a situation where Walmart becomes the only game in town. Secondly, the parking requirements also increase the fixed costs for any business; which limits the type of businesses you can open. You can see this effect in a the types of businesses and restaurants you have in San Jose vs San Francisco. San Jose is a larger city than SF but is far more hostile to local businesses.

To be clear, I'm not advocating that every city should be Manhattan. The missing middle housing (https://missingmiddlehousing.com/) has been posted a number of times, and Not Just Bikes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWsGBRdK2N0) goes into it as well. There's a middle ground that is better than American designed suburbs that aren't as suffocating as Manhattan.
yeah!!! i think it's really scary. Same with TSMC and having just one litho company. My biggest fear is having so many billions in planes and bombs and ships and everything else that seems like they won't work if they get hacked. and i assume everything will get hacked in an all out war.

This is also why I think Russia has the confidence to potentially do such a large scale invasion. Europe needs their natural gas. Just another reason to spend to get to almost 100% renewables asap.
Microsoft has not added any functionality to their operating system or applications since 1998–only bloat to keep up with the need to create a need for faster processors. I can’t think of one thing I can do in the Microsoft Office suite I couldn’t do 20 years ago. It’s just slower.

While there isn't a social media network based on music, there are countless Discord servers, message boards, and other online communities that post onto sites like Bamdcamp and Soundcloud to share their work woth each other. Given the diversity in music creation processes, related interests, openness, etc, a social media network based on music would be pretty limiting unless it catered heavily to a niche.

Cinnamon. Every once in a while I try again Gnome and KDE but quickly go back to Cinnamon. It's the only DE where I'm mostly fine with the defaults. Everything else has to be tuned to death to be even remotely decent. Or they just crash because I have one monitor that requires HiDPI scaling and the other doesn't. I'm sad, nothing we have today is as good as Gnome 2 was.
A analogy for illustrating this is:

Great points. I'd even go a step further and suggest that "discovery" is not really a problem that can or should be solved in the manner that tech companies would like. I ran a radio show in college on my college's station, and from my experience most of that crowd is uninterested in further tech penetration of music.
KDE Plasma on the latest Pop!OS from System76.

Why? It just feels more like what I'm comfortable with and works closer to the way I expect things to work. I'm one of those people who thinks that Win95 era Windows defined a desktop UI that needs little improvement, and KDE gives me that experience plus pretty much exactly the improvements I would want - virtual desktops being foremost on that list. The "Activities" stuff is neat, although I don't really use that facility a lot, but it complements the rest of the system nicely IMO.

What I explicitly don't want is any of these desktop environments that try to do what I consider "weird" stuff like blocking you from putting anything on the desktop, or forcing use of a Mac style menubar at the top of the screen.

The computational requirements are very modest. The magic is in the math. I'm not sure if it counts as "batteries included" but I wrote a Kalman filter implementation in "no-std" (no standard library) rust called adskalman [1]. This means it can run on very modest bare metal targets with no operating system. Of course, it can also run on targets where the standard library is available and the examples [2] make use of this to do nice things like print the results which can be piped to a file and plotted. The core runs fine on embedded targets, and we use this with arm microcontrollers, but it should work on just about anything. Feedback is welcome.

telling people they:

- have to use public transit is externalizing.

- can't let their kids get a good education is externalizing.

- can't let their kids play safely without adult supervision is externalizing.

I'll freely admit zoning laws kind of suck in some instances, but you are going to be hard pressed to find a place that does not have them. In fact, the more dense the housing, the more rigorous the zone laws are likely to be. The reality almost everywhere is that one simply cannot do whatever one pleases with their property including keeping it from the government.

So, yes my proverbial view of your smog may well be legally protected and that might suck, but you and I are both also protected from a neighbor converting their property into a toxic waste dump.
