I’m glad you reached your goal, which is exactly why I was asking.

I’d genuinely like to know if someone had a good experience since it might change my current view.

Unfortunately, the tone of your comment did the exact opposite. You blame me for being uncharitable in the same breath that you are being immensely uncharitable yourself.

In my experience, people that don’t know the difference are invariably windbags that read results off of whatever google dashboard. It’s not like this skepticism on HN comes out of nowhere. There’s a fuckton of charlatans in the SEO space.

I’ll admit part of it is that nobody listens to me when I tell them the same thing (5 months before) their $200/hour consultant is telling them.

There was another section here, but in the spirit of Christmas I’ll leave off.

Have a good one :)
To make an infrared telescope significantly better they need it in an orbit not facing the sun always. But other types of lower cost projects might be feasible.
That's unfair to the Chinese communists. They fought a different type of war against the Japanese, a guerrilla one, attacking Japanese supply, isolated locations, etc.

In terms of pure numbers of men they certainly contributed less than the Kuomintang, but in terms of overall impact it's close to impossible to say.
It took less than 30 years from the first crude rockets to us humans landing on the moon. Now how long is it going to take us from the first programming languages to making our legal system „machine readable“?

I find it quite ridiculous that we still expect humans - judges and lawyers - to research legal codes and case law in order to figure out the applicable rules. This is something that computers should be doing. So we can focus on the higher level decisions, i.e. extending the rules, or arguing over the interpretation of the facts of the case.

It‘s staggering how much time we‘re wasting researching legal questions whose answers are not only already „out there“, but are probably being researched over and over again each week by legal professionals across the country, because a human, unlike a computer, cannot possibly keep all of those rules in memory at the same time.
> It's hard translate anecdotes into evidence for things like this without dedicating a bunch of time to it

This is how any credibility breaks down. Posting a bug report takes as much time as posting a message on HN.

Moreover, if these problems were so eggregious and so frequent as claimed, wouldn't you be more motivated to post something about them in order to get them fixed? I mean, most of jetbrains' product line is only available to paying customers.

But alas no example is given. Not even a faint description of what the problem felt like. Just a blanket accusation that the world-leading IDE company is unable to ship a stable IDE.

Lance, honestly this is a pathetic reply. New Zealand is already riddled with Covid incase you havent noticed. Cases detected in the community outnumber those at the border 27x for the last week. Given this fact, why does MIQ still exist?

Preventing new variants? Sure at the surface that might hold some credence, but that implies future responses will be to lock down again and impose massive economic costs and second/third order negative externalities on the population again... There will be more variants gauranteed, so what is being gauranteed here is perpetual restrictions, fragility and life in a hermit kingdom.

On your point around Xmas with three generations, congratulations, but without rapid lateral flow at home testing (which is still unavailable in New Zealand - wowee!), you might have unknowingly just had a super spreading event. The slowness of NZ policy to adapt to technological innovations is a real blight.

By the way New Zealands society decided no such thing; intellectual honesty goes a long way when presenting an arguement. Did we have a referendum to determine no one should die from covid? Its quite a perposterous thing to say.

Reality is MIQ was a knee jerk reaction by the MoH in March '20, faced with the stark realisation healthcare and its supporting beuracratic system was not up for the job. It still isnt and has no path to getting there. That is the real tragedy.

Big thinking and strategy is sorely needed in New Zealand. It's a shame all we get is confusion and people like yourself who think they know something trying to lead the narrative.

I was once a proud Kiwi, now I look on from afar and am saddened at the squandered potential of the place, underacheivment and lack of awareness are rife.

It’s hard to not be bitter about it. Shelves are full, but people can afford less and less every year. And it was done at gunpoint by the western imperialist countries, with wars, coups, propaganda and sanctions.

In my opinion and experience, most people (no less than 80%) of the former USSR regret, many of them deeply regret, the fall of USSR.

I can’t follow your logic at all here. You called out specifically machine gun ownership.

You realize people legally own machine guns in Canada, right? Sure, you can’t get a permit now, but former owners are grandfathered in.

Thank you for the reply. I'm aware of how BBSs and on-line services started (CServe, Prodigy, Genie). Most of what you've said in your earlier reply was spot on with the exception the initial audience for AOL (at least in its earliest incarnation). I later thought you might be referring to AIM, but I couldn't find any relation to your claim either. It seemed odd as to how overseas military families would have access to AOL given that:

a) International dialing rates were incredibly expensive at the time. I don't know how someone would be connecting to AOL in a local network in, say, Stuttgart or Mogadishu without paying a pretty penny.

b) Most online communication done by overseas military members would have been done over ARPANET/MILNET with on-premise or remote data terminals attached/networked to minicomputer or timesharing systems (e.g. Honeywell, CDC, Burroughs, etc).

c) The AOL's earlier incarnation, Q-Link, was a C64 only service. AOL only became available for DOS/PCs just as the Gulf War ended (February 28 1991).

d) Anything that couldn't run C/PM, Unix, or PC-DOS was considered a kids toy (an image not helped in Commodore's case with the C64 being sold in Toy's R US, but I digress).

Given these factors, I would think AOL's initial audience would have been the same hobbyists and MUD players that made BBSs popular for a time.

Perhaps you were talking about early flat-fee connection services/ packet networks like Tymnet, BBN Telenet, DATAPAC, Frame Relay, etc ?
Certificate transparency effectively solves this because certain browsers (currently only Safari and Chrome) require all new certificates be submitted to multiple certificate transparency lists - if it encounters a certificate that isnt, it’ll show a warning page before establishing the TLS session. More info[0].

This doesn’t stop interception, but the first time it happens that some huge company notices a certificate issuance they didn’t authorize and/or should be blocked by their CAA records, it’ll be a large event with disastrous consequences for the CA, likely triggering immediate (<48 hours) removal from publicly trusted CA lists.

Of course, if a country wants to intercept, they still can by intercepting all traffic with their own (new) CA - Kazakhstan tried this and asked all their citizens to install it if they wanted internet[1], but it shows that these efforts won’t go unnoticed and browser developers might fight back against government surveillance.

Which part of the US is socialist? There is none.

If you mean the army, it’s not socialist. The workers don’t have democratic control over the means of production. It’s just a planned economy, plenty of those exist in dictatorships of the bourgeoisie (like Amazon).

That is insane. Lake Victoria is in Uganda. So the water flows halfway across Africa through Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.
There’s a rabbit hole of what ifs one can descend down regarding this:

- what if a nation state has access to a CA

- what if a nation state creates a backdoor in TLS and the pull request gets merged

- what if a nation state creates a backdoor in your OS

- what if a nation state creates a backdoor in your hardware

All are possible but more likely is they’ll just use their influence to grab your data directly from the service providers themselves. Eg Google / Microsoft / Meta / Apple etc.

You could get around it by self hosting and using PGP but one has to ask what your personal risk is. With greater security comes greater hurdles and inconvenience

The difference in the US is that the default is you can unless you have a good reason not too.

I recall reading there has never been a crime committed with a legally owned machine gun in the US”. I think that changed a while ago when some criminal murdered someone, but do you believe banning everyone from owning something that had been used in a crime once?

That seems very paternalistic. Which is a fine stance. It’s just not the one the US adheres too.
Thank you -- the best parts of JetBrains' tools are brilliant, magical almost, but they are let down -- almost completely -- by the performance problems and stalling, and given that their target market is programmers (who are an opinionated and impatient lot), one would think that they would pay attention to such performance/responsiveness matters.
Yes, exactly!

The 90% can't live isolated forever because of the 0.2% who can't have vaccines for medical reasons. (The remainder is made up of those who've made anti-vaxx part of their identity).

Put that money and resources into protecting the vulnerable, not into isolating New Zealand and severely impacting the economy in a vain attempt to keep a virus, which will be with us together, out.

Human lives aren't infinitely valuable. As an example, there were 318 road deaths in New Zealand in 2020, which could all have been avoided by lowering the speed limit to 10kmh.

This isn't a solution that would ever be considered seriously, because it's evident that the financial and flow-on social harm caused by such a rule would greatly outweigh the current death toll.

It's becoming increasingly evident that 'protecting those who can't be vaccinated by stifling New Zealand in draconian restrictions' is the same.

What? We are 7 people, and have a shared library for filesystem work.

(Since Java 8 about half of it is no longer needed, as it's included, and we replace usage with the standard library as we update projects.)

> Communism would be great if people would actually be good.

Communism replaces a multitude of small, localised optimisation problems with a single, centralised, completely intractable optimisation problem, and at the same time destroys the very information required to tackle that problem at all.

Communism cannot work on any but the smallest scale, and is utterly doomed when applied to any modern nation state.

J. B. S. Haldane - himself a socialist - pointed this out as far back as 1928.* Whether communism is inherently evil or not, we know for a fact that it cannot ever work.

> The laudable ideals of any political system will need to resist man's evil nature

The solution to that is not to permit the government the ability to cause great harm to its citizens in the first place.

This is the problem in language learning. What you said could be true in certain contexts but is wildly misconstrued. As is, what you said is "bro science" without proper methods, context, and caveats. Finally, while immersion in a language is amazingly useful, you can't do much in 3 months.

Sounds like a recipe for burnout and total isolation in a foreign country.
It doesn't seperate language implementations from languages.

Isn’t the real solution to disband MIQ? 90% eligible double vaccinated (95% eligible single dose).

How long should MIQ exist for?

Who should be responsible for paying MIQ dues?

I disagree that the traveler should be responsible anymore due to the high vaccination levels. The NZ govt, if it wishes to continue denying kiwis freedom of movement to return home to NZ (or travel to other countries they are citizens of) should shoulder the burden. Or a tax on the eligible-but-unvaccinated… after all, the traveler is having to quarantine to “protect” others, not themselves.

In my experience as a westerner, the '80s and early '90s are subjects better not discussed. The exception are close friends and family, and then only when the subject comes up. That, or funny exotic stories from the '80s.

Random bits I've picked up that way:
- winning a car (well, a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZAZ_Zaporozhets) in a lottery and driving it without a license. "Officer, I just forgot it at home. I wouldn't be so stupid to risk driving without a license." 1980's Latvia.
- having to grind up pasta to make a birthday cake. In 1980's Riga.
- having to eat bananas for days on end because a large box of bananas was what could be found. 1990's Latvia.
- dumping gasoline in the ditches. The kolchoz had so much one could take, but what do you do if you have no use for so much gasoline? 1980's Latvia.
- selling the privatisation certificates for a song in order to survive. 1990's Latvia.
Gold is actually used, eg. In the phone you're typing on.

Solitary here too. I like being alone, but I do require a little "punctuation" throughout the year when I see people. It's a shame that gatherings seem to require an excuse or some big event and can't just be "because I haven't seen you for a while". Maybe they can be. But I lack the social skills to make that happen. Also my latent social anxiety.
Despite downvotes this comment is very true. A modern constitution (the foundation of a country) is all about citizen rights to counter power, if you think government should just be trusted without actions to require more safeguard and transparency then you are pretty much waving your rights, and you probably don't deserve them.

> Means the total loss of Russian Army, in the most literal sense

Not really, every part would retain the troops and armaments located there, like how Ukraine inherited all long range strategic missile bombers ( Tu-160) of the Soviet Union, and how Transnistria inherited an army which was one of the main factors of them claiming independence and thus blocking Moldova's potential future as a part of Romania
Nobody cares much about international law, but it was in no-ones interest to have a dozen smaller, likely unstable, post-Russian states all armed with nuclear missiles.
How do you know which items to include in that set of 24 items, and which to exclude? With different criteria it could be a set of 23 items, or of 25, or 1 or none or infinite.

These 24 items are all unique, as are the excluded ones. The inclusion, the concept of set, the grouping, is not real, it is your criterion, mapping, your abstraction of reality.
Does it really matter, given that it did not behave much differently from USA at that time, sending a lot of money as a foreign aid and intervening if local politics started leaning towards the rival powers?

EDIT: to clarify, this foreign policy was not considered "imperialism" at that time.

> basic health issues can bankrupt you

While there is no universal definition of "basic health issues" as far as I know, there is "common health issues" definition.

If by "basic" you mean simple, then my question is: can runny nose bankrupt many Americans?
Well one would assume it's proper then. You could still do a load test with the USB tester I linked to, see if voltage drops too much under 2A load, but I'd assume that's not the issue.
I have the same experience. Even one meal with excessive carbs and I am going full ADHD.
That's not how anti-aliasing works! Essentially all digital screens benefit from anti-aliasing, irrespective of the resolution. Even if you had a screen with an absurdly high resolution, such as 38,400 × 21,600 ("40K"), without anti-aliasing you'd still get issues like moire patterns and shimmering when viewing highly detailed content with regular patterns.

However, past a certain point, the benefits are less noticeable, whereas the overheads of AA increase to absurd levels. Trying to super-sample an 8K game will still bring the best GPUs in the world to their knees.
> So how many exits are needed for extremely rare circumstances?

Keep in mind that the bread and butter of engineering is "extremely rare circumstances".

In civil engineering, infrastructure is designed with 100 year floods and 50 year seismic events in mind.

Blocking the only exit does not come even close to be a rare event.
But conveniently the at() stuff has allowed for capabilities-based security with Capsicum, CloudABI (RIP) and now WASI.

Since the at() functions exist, these environments can just not have a global filesystem namespace – there is no open(), only openat() under the descriptors you have. No escaping up from the sandbox!
Not sure "nation states" are that interested or capable on doing this, but corporations actually routinely do this against employees and in some places a major portion of people even find it socially acceptable. (Nation state an interestingly often used term in these discussions btw, by chance it doesn't match the US or UK, which are prominent espionage actors on the world stage)

It involves subverting TLS by just the CA trick you mention, just with a private CA preinstalled in company supplied equipment. Worringly browser vendors seem to turn a blind eye to this, because it's not illegal in some countries. (Government espionage is also often legal but fortunately browser vendors haven't bent over there yet at least publicly)
