any information worker should at least try linux and cut over to only using linux asap ... sure I have tried all the various releases of Windows and OSX however linux just works especially if you are a developer who values ease of use and unlimited flexibility ... get a junker laptop which noone uses and teach yourself how to burn a linux OS onto a memory stick then boot from this to try out then install linux onto that box ... the first several days/weeks will be challenging however once you cut over and master the basics and become fluent this effort will be time well spent ... many linux distros are available though Ubuntu is a good onramp if not an excellent dailydriver ... and yes OSX is hot garbage

There's a nice thread on solving Wordle with Z3 [1], a SAT solver.

But I don't think you need much more than sets and list comprehensions to realistically solve most Wordle puzzles that crop up. This Python code demonstrates how you do that with simple letter frequency analysis and sets and list comprehensions.

That’s an opinion though. Defamation has a very specific definition, often with a high bar. This would be like “the Vice President accepted a bribe of ten thousand dollars to inject a support of terrorism in their past speech on January 5, and I have film evidence to prove it” explicitly knowing this is false and saying it anyways just to hurt the Vice President.

> For some reason, "<?= $foo ?>" was considered much worse than "{$foo}".

A stigma that remains to this day, even though the spec is very clear about those kinds of short tags and the flags that affect them. PHP developers are absolutely terrified that some imaginary environment flag they have control over is going to brick their application, but are happy to bring in an entirely new templating language as a dependency instead. I'm sure Smarty was borne of a need, but I was never sure what it brought to the table except different tags for existing features.

How to find a domain's authoritative nameservers
One of the things that often surprises me is how unprepared people are coming in to game shows. You can win your yearly salary but you walk in off the street with no preparation at all.

Obviously, I don't expect everyone to determine and memorize the information-theoretic optimal technique for extracting information from a word game or anything. But for Pete's sake, if you're going to be on the Wheel of Fortune, clock some time with one of the dozen or so computer or console implementations. If you're going to be on the Family Feud, take a moment to explain to funny Uncle Harry that saying the stupid-but-funny answer that popped into his head may cost him and four people who know where he lives a few thousand bucks. If you're going to play the old Concentration game, which was based on rebuses, spend a few hours brushing up on common rebus symbols and patterns.

(That's another show that, were it on today, would probably be broken by someone on the Internet. There is probably less than meets the eye when it comes to what can be done on a rebus. Someone could probably analyze the show's run and work out which are the most common syllables they can use, what is phonetically difficult to represent with rebuses, etc.)

ISTR that the Wheel of Fortune, for instance, edits out even more mistakes than you'll see on the show, which is plenty, according to one of the "behind the scenes" things. It isn't that hard, anyone can get it in 15 minutes or less, which suggests a lot of contestants come in with not even that much experience.

This is for many people the most bang-for-the-monetary-buck they will ever see in their lives. There are other things that will be more important, like having families, but monetarily, this is probably the most money-per-minute they will ever see. Put at least a bit of work into it!

I live in Minneapolis proper and my car was stolen last month. Not a carjacking, I was one of the idiots that left it running to warm up. The car jacking numbers are mostly legit, I do not know if it’s “organized” though. Catalytic converters getting stolen is a much bigger deal out here right now.
many java jars contain other jars withbthe dependency, so users don't have to run maven or something like thst, but jsut grab the jar. This is even worse. (there was no package manager early on, thus many java developers aren't taught that way, even decades after Maven was created ... and for end-user products it makes sense to bundle)
It does, even Wordpress has a cronjob - scheduled publishes, UGC postprocessing, IP ban expirations, there's a lot going on behind the scene.
I did smalltalk professionally as my second job out of college, 1995-1997. It was cool learning it, and it definitely gets you into OOP. It also laid the groundwork for realizing that OOP isn't a great paradigm for software development. Plus it was really slow and clunky, in the end. For the time, the IDE (VisualAge and the other one I can't remember) was cool, although git crushes the model they used back then.

Overall, I'm glad I learned it, much like TCL and Lisp, but I'm definitely glad I don't use it professionally.

The languages basically take their premise to the extreme, where the premise for each is "What if everything, including the language itself, was ..."

TCL: ...a string?

Lisp: ...a list?

Smalltalk: ...an object?

I don't know enough about it, but I think with Haskell the suffix would be "...a function?"

Neat experiments, neat learning them, but I appreciate other languages more for actually implementing large projects.
Oh wow, talk about trial by fire! That's a lot to learn in a very short time. Good on you for finding the OBS bug as well.
Sorry, but for this link I only get

404 Page Not Found
We're sorry for any inconvenience.
We can't find the page you're looking for.

I would not say anything if it said "blocked for your IP/country", but it appears there is nothing any more behind that link. Was the article removed?

EDIT: Ad-blocker (uBlock Origin) off and the page loads. I should have thought of that, there was a flicker of something else before the "not found". Still very strange to show a "404 Not Found" in retaliation for an ad-blocker instead of complaining about the latter.
php is my language of choice, I love modern php, but I struggle with the same question. As a language, I think php is great, and for a solo project it is an obvious choice for me because of my proficiency and the quality of the language... but would I start a greenfield project with php? No.

I've worked across a variety of different companies and a consistent theme is the existence of "php developers" in these companies, and the bad quality software they produce. I'm currently working at a company (founded within the last 5 years) and their php codebase is AWFUL (no structure, 1k+ LOC methods, no tests, no ci, no documentation etc.)[1].

The problem is not php, it's that a lot of PHP developers are doing the same thing they did 10 years ago, despite the industry having moved on. As a Software Engineer, I think there's a very valid case for php over Ruby or Python or Node, however as a CTO or a team lead, I'd really, really struggle to justify it, which pains me to say. If you're trying to hire php developers, you'll be hiring a lot of people who haven't changed how they work since the late 2000s. I'd rather hire code school graduates to write Ruby than a php developer with a decade of experience.

[1] People can write bad code anywhere, but pre-historic php is especially terrible. A company with bad golang is an order of magnitude more penetrable than a company with bad php.

Reading both your comments, the one way I'm interpreting is OP is saying "the true consequence of any capitalist system is..." and you're saying "capitalism doesn't necessarily include..."

If it's not clear, I agree with OP. The complaint is valid because it's the "real world" consequence of applying the theory of capitalism.

Not in 100% of cases but in the "it's inevitable to exist" fashion.
You are correct.

I hesitated using “Greeks”, but then stuck with the common parlance.
> this approach really bite teams

Me too. But that is typically a problem with how they define "good enough". And how that evolves over time. If "good enough" means "what we decided on 7 years ago" or "It works on my machine" then certainly that term is not covering what it seems to cover.

"Good enough" should, obviously, take future maintainability, security, new hires, evolving standards, moving business-cases and changing markets into consideration: i.e. overall complexity, reusability, consistency, maintainability etc.

Or, to put it differenty: if your "Definition of Done" is not evolving or changing over time you can be sure that the "quality" part in that DoD is sub-par in a few years and your project development will grind to halt somewhere in the next years surely. (edit: that, or it is so vague and up to intepretation that any new hire or insight can change it already. Which may be a good thing, IDK)
Are you sure? There's gradle and others. Also which server? Wildfly, jboss, jetty, glassfish, soemthing else? Which java distribution? Perhaps you want to use vertx, tapestry, undertow instead of good old Spring? Maybe Grails? Which testing framework? Some people love their JSF (yes!), is it still really, like for real supported? Should you use JSP? I mean from configuration to configuration so much changes that I don't touch undockerized Java projects. It's just too much work. In one case one experienced Java dev struggled to get me a working dev env for a week. Even IDE extensions sometimes play a role in the build in Java world. Give me a break.
One the relevant patents [1] does just appear to be describing connecting speakers in a group.

Not doing the bailouts would have been a catastrophe that made Greece 2008 look relatively mild, across the entire Western world. Ordinary retail banking, cheque clearing etc would have been locked out for months while the bankruptcy was untangled.

Should the UK have said "sorry, if your bank account was with RBS, you don't have a bank account any more and you'll have to see what is left after the recievers have sold off the office furniture to see if you get any money back at all"? Including all businesses which bank with RBS? Many of whom themselves would be bankrupt as a result?

That said, there was a lot of choice in how the bailout was done, and in many cases it was done badly. Things like the robosigning fraud in the US should have been prosecuted more aggressively.
Economically, yes, there are parallels to pre-WWI Germany, but politically (in the Xi era) the zeitgeist is more similar to pre-WWII Germany.
It's not that surprising. HN is a draw for people whose lives are frankly incredibly sheltered. Not everyone of course, but many. Just by the numbers many have never lived a life on minimum wage without e.g. parental support or even had a person like that in their close social circle/immediate family.

These are people whose idea of a bad day is when their code has a bug in it, or their home theatre system took too long to update, or the food they ordered wasn't perfect and delivered with a huge smile by exactly the kind of person they're trying to deride.

Many won't know what it's like to not be able to heat their living space or be without a reliable car or tell their landlord rent isn't going to be made this month.

So it's not surprising they don't get it. Life is fine for them. The boat shouldn't be rocked, everything is working as intended so long as it's working for them.

How so? While yes Android is one of the most common uses at the moment for Kotlin (thanks to Google making it a first class supported language for the platform) it is still dependent on the JVM, thus can do anything that Java Can.

I don't know if Scotland was first with the idea. Big vehicles have been named for centuries, officially and unofficially. (Ships, trains, planes etc.)

The fact that the Rust project resists standardizing too early — which could lead to being stuck with a bad design — is in my opinion one of its virtues.

But I agree that we’re past that point at least for simple async worker threads and simple IO. I don’t follow the progress that closely, but I think work is happening towards standardization there.
You’re right. I didn’t think it through. Although I stand by the first part. Aaron would be gratified to see this page. Since you point out it’s been there a long time, maybe he did see this page.

I respect your kindness and I too believe in the value of education.

Your situation is comparable to that of a sane person in a madhouse. But I would call this strategy wariness in passage. You must respect them the way you would respect a rattlesnake on a hiking trail or a bear in bear country. The animal is unpredictable and you bargain to stay alive.

These people could be mad or their minds could be ruined by circumstances (e.g. incompetent parents, rejection of education). How the mad became so, and how their madness is perpetuated, is perhaps as simple sociologically as their never facing any material consequence for their ignorance. They have managed to earn money and reach advanced adulthood with a total mess inside their heads.
Exactly why I hate how laptop manufacturers shove 4K displays into laptops just because it sounds impressive. 4K is more dense than any laptop needs (maaayyyybe 17" ones benefit, but at that size they're optimized for performance at the expense of battery life anyway). Would be great if more laptops had resolutions between 1080p and 4K so things can look sharp without being too hard on battery life.

Let's say you run a good song-lyrics site that has the correct lyrics for everyone's favorite songs. You happen to be on page 2 of google results for common queries; all of page 1 is taken up by spammers, fake pages, etc.

How can you possibly drive traffic to your site? Maybe you can invest in SEO but no promises there. You'd be competing against people whose whole focus is SEO and nothing else. The only option left is to buy ads.

> He had been assured—by Tennis Australia?—that he would be granted a medical exemption to Australia's policy that all travelers entering the country must be fully vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.

Actually, he has been given a document that's supposedly the medical exception issued by Tennis Australia and independent medical panels from the state of Victoria. In the interview transcript, he says that he would not have travelled had he not gotten the exception (and that's supported by the fact that his COVID infection happened past the advertised deadline for exception submission of Dec 10th: IOW, he was likely planning not to go until a "lucky" circumstance presented itself). His visa was issued on those grounds.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jan/10/i-am-not-vacci...

There were other people and players who've entered Australia on the same grounds, and his "mistake" was to publicly proclaim he's travelling with an exception which caused a public outrage for preferential treatment and led to politicians getting involved.

Realistically, the entire mess up is on Australian institutions on granting that exception in the first place and then reacting to satisfy the public outcry: while it may have been against the law, it was not Novak who's broken it, and the way he was treated was mostly for the public consumption.

While people were concerned he was going to get preferential treatment, he only got preferential mistreatment instead :)

> Yesterday (Monday) the court overruled the Australian federal government's decision

Actually, the presiding judge "convinced" the government's representatives that it's best if they withdraw the cancellation on the grounds of procedural error: the case was not really ruled on, but instead, the agreement has been reached with government paying Djokovic's legal fees. Still, the judge was obviously in favour of Djokovic having done everything in his power to gain entry, and if there were problems, they were not with his actions (legal, at the very least: moral actions are not on him to decide on).

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jan/10/novak...

Finally, the matter of him appearing in public after testing positive in Serbia is something to look into locally, though I am not convinced it will happen. While he's definitely not just anti-vaccine, but also anti-medicine (he reportedly cried when he couldn't "cure" his elbow for two years and had to undergo a surgery), he does not strike me as that much of a tool, so I suspect it was organisers begging him to appear despite him being infected. Still, as a responsible adult, he should have said no and should be held accountable. I still doubt that will happen: Serbian judicial system is easily influenced by politicians even though it's supposed to be independent.
