> What kind of non-relevant answer is that?

>I asked you a polite and to the point question.

We're all capable of reading between the lines here. You asked the question because a more snide "tell me you've never lived in NL without telling me you lived in NL" or "yikes" doesn't fly here so you phrase it as a question (just like asking the question wouldn't fly elsewhere where the local norms are to be snide or offensive). I say "no" you use that as justification for saying I have no idea what I'm talking about. I say yes and you assert my experience is not relevant or whip out a No True Scotsman. It's just a bunch of BS rhetoric that serves as a barrier to whatever the actual disagreement and debate is.

If my knowledge is so far off base, from lack of experience or otherwise then this should be a short debate.

Do you disagree with my analysis on the incentives that cause government policy that makes life marginally more difficult for families to be formed?

It appears you disagree with some part of it, so which part and how and why?

And for the record I've lived there for months but not in a major urban area and not raising a family.

Edit: edited to answer his question.
Thanks for this! What came out of that major breach they had earlier this year? Since I wasn't part of their ecosystem I never followed up.
Older versions of Windows used a similar technique to replace the PREFETCHW instruction with NOPs on processors that didn't support it.

> The way that design elements are cut and pieced together is not protected by copyright. The U.S. Supreme Court recently addressed this topic in Star Athletica v. Varsity Brands, stating that copyright affords “no right to prohibit any person from manufacturing [clothing] of identical shape, cut, and dimensions.”

Levi's in particular has distinct cuts that they are famous for. Should we start embedding RFID tags in jeans to collect licensing fees every time you wear them in public?

Sharing middle click between paste functionality and it's other popular functions makes it error prone and impractical at least for me. Copy paste is faster in a vacuum but the overall experience is worse. I think using thumb mouse buttons is more practical, and auto copy is better just avoided altogether.

Autoscroll is great by the way.
This idea of "the database should be invisible!" abstraction was widely pursued back in the 90's when people were still obsessed with "the network should be invisible!" and Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). A lot of ORM's still reflect this obsession, and some programmers still get angry that they should have to deal with "this low-level SQL nonsense!"

Attempts to make I/O invisible failed and failed and failed again, and continue failing and failing again because it turns out that I/O is incredibly fundamental and not something you can just wave off as "low-level details". A networked database is a massive abstraction in its own right, and if invisible I/O is a doomed abstraction, forget invisible databases. Well, first go fail a few more times, then forget it, because we're not quite there yet on this one, are we...

The bigger the abstraction, the more it leaks. Sometimes you have enough headroom to go further, and sometimes you have to recognize that you've gone way too far.
See https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#The-Set-B..., in short -e makes scripts exit if a command fails, and -u makes them exit if a variable is undefined.

If you think your colleagues won't know this, "set -o errexit; set -o nounset" would be easier for them to search on.

(Via "3.4 Shell Parameters" → "3.4.1 Positional Parameters" → "4 Shell Builtin Commands", or searching the whole page for "-e".)
Sharing private keys is bad practice for a lot of reasons.

Presumably in this case you're doing this without a third party like github (e.g. the code is stored on ipfs).

Rotating that rsa key requires all of your users to update things on their side so they'll continue accepting updates signed by the new key. That's a problem because you want key rotation to be low-effort so people do it just in case, and notifying every user is the opposite of that.

On the other hand, when a new user or organization takes over for an old one re: publishing updated versions (presumably there's a smart contract that gets updated with the latest trusted hash by the tokenholder), that's an event where you really do want all you users to scrutinize the new maintainer.

Key transfer is opaque, NFT transfer is transparent.

They claim to have 30,000,000 users but we've only seen a handful of reports about this, why such a small percentage? Wouldn't someone with a full list of passwords want to exfiltrate as much data as possible before it became obvious they had the creds?
After a year or so writing "async" code it has become natural. I now think of the real world as async. For example during Christmas I do not "poll" the door every 10 minute to see Santa clause. I simply wait until he knocks on the door and then I run the knockOnDoor callback function.

So in my mind functions did not have colors. They where "first class functions" that you could pass into another function that later called it.
Now however we do have normal functions (before ES6-7), as well as async/await promise returning functions, and *function yealding generator functions.
Why? You can tap with three fingers for the middle click. It may not be the default, though. Even my ancient HP ProBook's abysmal touchpda supports this.

I note that you consistently refuse to answer my simple question.

The degree to which you are breaking the HN guidelines with this comment is off the scale, so you probably should re-read those. Sometimes a question is just a question.

Ok, so you've lived here, that makes the discussion a lot simpler.

If you split up NL into cities, towns and rural then cars have a several major functions:

- to travel between cities and towns where public transport coverage is bad

- to travel longer distances

- to carry larger loads than you can on a bike

- to help those with limited personal mobility get around

- various emergency services

Bikes are - to the Dutch - a way of life. Everybody here has a bike, even the elderly. And with everybody I mean everybody that's is capable of cycling will have a bike (and often more than one). Simply because for the very large majority of your outings it will be the fastest and most practical solution. Society here is quite literally designed around cycling to the point where you can take your bike on the train if you want, and if it's a folding bike you can do so for free.

For someone not born here it is obvious that this takes a lot of adjustment. If you are used to having a car at your disposal and using that car for every trip that is too long to walk then obviously it will be frustrating. Because you will find that parking fees are high, that finding parking is next to impossible and that the speeds of cars in towns are as low (or lower!) than cycling.

It is mostly a matter of expectations. When I lived in the USA I found it hard to stomach that I could not cycle wherever I wanted. There simply wasn't a safe way to cross certain roads or areas without being in a vehicle. Walking was frowned upon and often unsafe.

Both of these are the result of urban planning: the dominant vehicle for NL is the bicycle, the dominant vehicle in the USA is the car. To desire a vehicle for which the environment is not explicitly designed is going to result in impedance mismatch that manifests as frustration. The solution is to go with the flow, and to realize that if millions of people are doing something, then you too can get used to it.
In my city there are a few designated "company parks" which are highway or provincial road -accessible "citadels" with a bunch of companies that specialize in large goods, rug stores, furniture, ikea, big box stores, hardware stores, bulk size corporate supermarkets, that sort of thing.

The first thing I did when I read this article is lookup C#'s (.Net's) DateTime.MaxValue constant. It's 23:59:59.9999999 UTC, December 31, 9999.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime....

I was honestly surprised, because normally limits for binary digits don't coincide with decimal limits. DateTime.MaxValue is 0x2BCA2875F4373FFF.

Looking in the source for DateTime, internally it's a 64-bit unsigned integer. The lower 62 bits are used for a date, and the upper 2 are used to flag local/utc/dst.

The 62 bits technically allow for an extra ~81 days into the year 10,000.

(Makes me wonder if, in 7950 years or so, someone's going to recompile a bunch of C# code to use an updated version of DateTime.)
And why would you not have the multiple corkscrews in different places i.e. one next /with the drinks cabinet/ tray or one in the dining room

Token ring protocol was useful, back in its day. Those tokens were also non fungible (admittedly, there were weaker assurances around that nonfungibility, but I think that's orthogonal).
Global bitcoin power consumption is estimated at around the level of Finland in 2021. Let's double that to be safe. Finland is a country of 5.5m, so let's say bitcoin uses as much energy as 11m people.

There's no way 11m additional consumers would have a medium-term effect this strong on a market the size of the EU energy market which contains about 440m people. And to add to that: that's worldwide bitcoin usage, not within EU.

Yes, bitcoin is wasteful. No, bitcoin isn't the primary driver of high energy prices in Europe. That's on terrible planning ("let's go renewable, surely we won't hit times where the sun doesn't shine") and bad forecasting ("how much gas could we possibly need this winter?"). Fortunately, the winter is pretty mild (thanks, global warming!) which makes it less of a problem.
My understanding is that TAP's significance ended largely with the 1967 war, though I'm not especially familiar with it.

Its existence does explain much of the strategic significance of Beruit (the pipeline's Mediterranean terminus) however.
> You don't. School is in walkable distance and kids can cycle themselves since the age of 8 or around. You also don't really live in a city center with kids.

At first glance this seems contradictory – did you mean that there are schools within walkable distance, even though you're not living in the city center?
Bills response is not professional at all. Maybe it was meant to be taken with humor; but this style of communication does not work in every case. Humility and humbleness would have been a better style here.

Unfortunately this is how software developers are often treated.
> 74Kb payload

Is 74Kb really a cause for concern on modern internet connections? I realize death by 1,000 cuts, etc...but for such a core set of functionality that seems pretty reasonable.

DayJs is 2 (two) Kb. Perfectly reasonable for any app with minimal date handling needs.

(BTW I'm 100% in support of a native temporal API also, although have some gripes with the Dev Exp of what's shown in this post)

A proposal to use smart contracts to improve scientific publishing
why are you asking a loaded question?
In 2017 I went to StrangeLoop and Papers We Love was collocated. Such a great experience. I saw a talk about how type inference in OCAML worked (Hindley–Milner type inference) and I basically didn't understand any of it, but talked briefly to the presenter after.

I left so excited by both conferences and started on pulling on threads around type systems and eventually started a podcast as a result.

The podcast changed over the years, but originally it was just a way for me to investigate things I had heard of at Paper We Love and Strange Loop. As a community, PWL is a nice on-ramp into CS Theory. Thank you Zeeshan Lakhani.
The discussion is often over-simplified in one direction or another, so thank you for bringing up post-partum depression and depression that can be influenced by hormonal cycles. (And by the way, men can also experience post-partum depression -- men also go through hormonal and life changes when bringing home a baby.)

We're all a product of our thoughts, our environment, and the mediating chemicals in our brains and guts. I'll throw in a different complex connection: the connection between hormones (estrogen and progesterone) and histamine. A woman can have seasonal allergies that wax and wane monthly due to the role estrogen plays in regulating mast cell release of histamine. The environment may stay the same over that month, but the chemical soup changes. This change may also be further mediated by what the person eats, as consuming high-histamine foods on top of that might be enough to really set off a physical reaction. Because we're talking about seasonal allergies here, few people would find this controversial.

So, let's move to the mind and emotions, which are certainly more controversial. All these factors are still there. Yes, CBT can be enormously helpful in getting you out of cognitive traps that decrease the quality of your life experience. At the same time, it can be true that you've been eating a diet that is not good for you and your stomach hurts all of the time not because of anxiety but because of your food. Let's take me for instance: I'm in grad school, I'm not feeling good, having trouble getting out of bed, I'm trying to drag myself through the thesis on caffeine and sugar, I keep beating myself up because I'm not as brilliant as Gauss or Kovalevskaya or even that guy who got that TT job at Virginia Tech and I have writer's block, I see the psych person at the health center 'cause why not. She says I have stress-induced stomach problems. Mindfulness doesn't help. What finally helps? An elimination diet that allows me to discover that one simple trick (eliminating a type of food) makes my stomach not hurt, means I don't wake up tired and hurting in the mornings, etc! Amazing to sleep and then wake up rested! Suddenly I have half the problems I had before and have more energy to deal with them. I'm still not Gauss, and that takes another 10 years of life progress to acknowledge. Whatever.

There are many ways to attack problems. Change the input, change the process, change the environment, decide the desired output isn't actually desired. Childhood experiences, diet and exercise (physical upkeep), the "shit life" phenomenon another poster mentions, hormones and chemical imbalances. Therapy is not the cure to everything. Neither is medication. Neither is diet. Sometimes we actually need reform so that people aren't stalked by medical debt or huge bills for having their kids put into foster care or whatever (lots of literature on the connection between financial instability and depression).
I'm relatively young, only 30, but I have the "privilege" to work on a variety of 90s-era windows-based systems. Everything is mouse-driven. When you have to use the mouse to navigate between multiple nested GUI pages, and each one has a couple seconds of load time, and the button to get to the next level is in another spot relatively to where the previous button you clicked was, it takes hours of your day just navigating between contexts over the course of an entire work day. People who think my fear/hatred of the mouse is irrational have never had to work on the irrational systems and terrible UX that the widescale prevalence mouse has enabled.

I think echelon is referring to the "Automatic Sample Submission" option that is enabled by default in Windows Defender. It will upload exes and dlls without asking. It can also upload documents, but it should prompt the user first.

Windows telemetry is also a black box, but they admit to collecting some browsing history.

People may not expect to deploy CODE from 2000 CE in 10000 CE

But hardware designs and long-term ideas from current era might survive maybe?

For example the space probes we send out over the next few millennia -- or any SETI schemes that involve instructions to an alien species about how to communicate back to us -- better be robust enough to handle the dates beyond 4 digit years.

And thinking on those time-scales might open up our minds to other aspects of design that might be otherwise overlooked.

I'm not sure what sort of workflow and mail client you desire, but Notmuch supports arbitrary tagging. Most coverage I've seen of it integrates with emacs or mutt (or similar text-based mail clients). That said, in searching for the project homepage, I also saw this project[1], which might be interesting if you're looking for something a bit less terminal. I'm sure there are more alternatives, but hopefully this is useful as a starting point for you.

That's not a very Haskell thing to see that many Unicode operators. Are you thinking Agda or APL? At least in PureScript, all infix operators must have word name and is either a list of ASCII symbols or a single Unicode character. And even still, you see a massive amount of programmers abusing (and misusing) ligature fonts to make their code look more like math without embracing Unicode and the actual symbols. Why fight over composition operator being `.` or `<<` or `<<<` when you can use the one from math, `∘`? Using Vim, use the digraph `Ctrl+k` then `Ob` and now you have a `∘`.
Yes exactly. Schools are everywhere. Primary schools in particular, and for secondary the kids will know how to ride a bike

It's something around 5k Euro for a new one and it's not really a car replacement. It's a fancy toy for somewhat rich people who also have a car. Cars just are not allowed to some nice places (like a dedicated cycling path on a dijk) and also are not really fun.

I have seen more cargo bikes with two or three kids in them on some kind of recreational road then I seen parked near grocery store.

For groceries, you just have bike bags. To drops kids at school or daycare, you have kid seats on a normal bicycle (one on a front and one on a back).

A person with a website and a furry avatar passive-aggressively going after all elements of a community they dislike, and then egregiously trying to get the internet mob on their side when their self-righteous crusade that-just-so-happens-to-radically-alter-some-large-aspect-of-the-community gets shut down.

Well I mean he said the "US is breaking down." When you say something like that I assume there's a reference point for comparison because it's a controversial statement. People have different opinions about whether or not the US is "breaking down" and it's not entirely a crystal clear fact.

I feel comparing the US to all of civilization is a fair comparison.

Good write up. They have been in full PR deflection mode rather than to actually engage those users to which it apparently happened in dialogue to try to nail down the root cause and were much too quick with their denial of their own involvement for that to be believable.
English is not the native language of 95% of my workplace, but we all use it. Especially with international teams, where there's someone from Iran, Vietnam, China, broken English is the common ground. There's a kind of self-selection that you can't really make it in the tech industry without knowing English, so it's the lingua franca.

Printing variables on the other hand is an investment. You evolve to log statements dumping reasonably complete aspects of state, which are disabled in production. If things go bad, you can enable specific loggers even in production on part of your cluster.

This way, troubleshooting in dev won't only fix a bug, it will train your logging to give the relevant info, and only the relevant info.

Now dumping 50K lines of data and hunting specific values in an unstructured way, run after run after run, yeah, that's dumb. You've got a computer, the thing is good at filtering relevant data for you, you might as well use it.
