Just sayin'. It's not the Accountants, it's the Business majors hired by the investors that are the issue. At the end of the day, its the investment firms and the endless churn to increase profit year over year that does this.
As you say, going from what we have to what they have will be no simple matter. It would take decades of reform at the very least. In the meantime, it doesn't make sense to just stop improning people for minor crimes.
I'd be curious what you're working on, or if you have any links that are shareable.

This is a truly hard thing to do. I sometimes use visualization plugins in IDEs, or hand roll visualizations. For example, spit out an HTML page that basically lays out up some textarea columns with sample data between code. But it's usually really, really ad hoc. And of course, very company confidential so I can't share much...

I'm also curious about using something like this d3-graphiz project to, say, animate a sequence diagram: https://github.com/magjac/d3-graphviz - just haven't gotten around to it yet (the demo seems like it could be handy: https://bl.ocks.org/magjac/4acffdb3afbc4f71b448a210b5060bca)
I doubt these dare-I-say-conspiracy theories.

Among other reasons, just consider that media suffered as much, financially, from monster.com and eBay, which devastated classifieds. For many local papers, that was the single largest change in the last two decades.

And I don’t remember any campaigns against those companies.

The individual journalist and editor actually writing and deciding on a story also doesn’t hold the grudges you assign to all of “media”. They don’t have the power to affect any change that could ever make the sort of difference needed to come back to them in any meaningful way. And they are unlikely to experience the strong emotions “media’ might have, because they haven’t experienced much of the loss that the industry has: they still have a job, for example. And by now, they are likely too young to know better times pre-internet.

As an engineer, part of your responsibility is to foresee this type of thing. Software that does exactly what it should, and is free of defects for it's immediate use case, has no need to be continually updated. As each line is adding more functionality you do not need.

Even if you're trying to keep things rolling forward and buy into taking in updates anyway; you don't do it in such a way as to cause it to leak to production until you are good and certain there is no potential for breakage. If you haven't learned this yet, give a monorepo a try. I assure you, you will be divested of any naivete in this regard.

My point is that "core developers should add an unproven feature they think is a footgun and take on the support overhead of that without convincing evidence it would actually be a net win" is not a convincing argument.

Also given Amazon AWS support it for Aurora, I feel like it's not -that- hobby-ish.

If people use it and can provide evidence that it helps more than it hurts, that might be convincing.

Insulting the core developers for not yet being convinced seems rather less likely to help.
Lawmakers Plan Legislation to ‘Ban Surveillance Advertising’
Well we do move that 40 billion tons to the atmosphere. If we can do that, then in principle we can do the reverse. We just need an economic framework to pay for it.

It's certainly going to be cheaper, in most cases, to avoid emissions in the first place. But there will also be cases, like long-haul jets, where it may be cheaper to remove the CO2 later. Plus the CO2 is already above a safe level, so we'll have to draw it down somehow anyway.
You may answer the question, if you wish.
> What do you suggest to do with middling hands then?

You try to get to a showdown. With middling hands there's a chance the opponent has a worse hand. It's when your hand is so bad your opponent has you almost certainly beat that you get to the bluffing territory, as that's the only way for you to win.
I can't find a source for this, but have it on good authority from a contact in the payments space, that Discover (in their role as a card-issuing bank) has recently begun an absurdly merchant-unfriendly practice of automatically initiating chargebacks, based on their own behavioral analysis systems, unilaterally bypassing the otherwise-standard practice of awaiting the cardholder's confirmation that a transaction is fraudulent/unintended before initiating a chargeback.

And since every single chargeback is immediately deducted from merchant accounts and adds to an opaque counter that, when tripped, can cause the merchant to be effectively blacklisted by all reputable acquiring banks... you're basically placing your company's future in the hands of Discover's algorithms. With a business like Digital Ocean's that is already dealing with fraudulent cards being used for crypto mining, they're almost certainly treated especially harshly by said algorithms, and are wildly conscious of that blacklist. I'm not at all surprised that their operations team has pulled the plug on Discover even before updating the UI of supported cards.

"Our"? HN is a global forum, we're not all Americans. Some of us are almost certainly even Israel citizens.
My observation is you have the order wrong and the cost cutting is just an attempt at delaying the inevitable.

- Company founded and makes quality product

- Company stagnates, doesn’t innovate, falls behind.

- New CEO can’t fix this, so turns “reliable” brand into “lowest cost brand” to preserve sales.

- Company goes bust anyways

Most companies that have a solid reputation can make more money selling at a higher price point and having bigger margins than the cheaper outsourced competitor.

I’ve been in a few companies like this - the aggressive cost cutting almost always happens after sales have started to tank. When sales are good, everyone is fat and happy and not looking to stir the pot.

I haven’t used namespacing in years. The point people are trying to make is that if you do need “advanced jQuery features” maybe you shouldn’t use jQuery. And the basics are also covered by native API, so the same conclusion applies.

I would not start a new project with jQuery nowadays just for that stuff.

The fact that $(s).remove() never throws for example wouldn’t be ok for me anymore, so I’m looking at more cons than pros.

Most of science and math taught in school is useless to students who doesn’t pursue a STEM career. However we desperately need a percentage of students to peruse a STEM career for society to function. And we don’t know ahead of time who those students will be. So we force all students to try to learn it. The result being a large percentage of students feeling that they are wasting their time and that “science is useless”. Which it is for them.

That's what I heard as well, they also said thousands of packages. If it was thousands of packages then I would have to have been incredibly unlucky to have 3 for 3 out of thousands.

It's a mindshare thing. Ultimately, courts take into account any information of an ecosystem experts bring to them.

By having ABP widely used a lawyer could make the argument, or a judge could infer that advertising is an acceptable behavior, but the use of ABP is just the users signaling to advertisers that ABP content is rather preferred method.

If everyone used uBlock Origin on the other hand, a compelling argument against the legitimacy of intrusive advertising becomes much more likely to be accepted in court, which is where it matters.

It's sad it's come to this, but with advertising and marketing as huge active lobbying groups, the courts are one of the more even battlefields we stand to even be able to win on.
Apple and Google split with startups over antitrust bill
Can't say I'm impressed.

It seems plain as day to me that many people are far more hateful online than in real life, mostly under the disguise of anonymity and/or the physical divide. You can say some truly nasty things online that in the physical world would make you wake up in a hospital. There's no real correction mechanism online.

I can't believe the research doesn't address the point that some others here are making as well: the most harmful content is promoted, to the point that you exclusively see harmful content, which is then normalized. Social media promotes the crazy and silences the reasonables.

Not a word on the massively increased speed of information. There is no time to refute any point because the damage is done in minutes and garbage spreads, and then the next one comes.

Not a word on the complete lack of trust in information itself. In media, science, even simple verifiable facts. It doesn't seem to matter any more, people just make up their own facts.

And then the solutions:

"Invest in remedying the offline frustrations that drives online hate"

Ah, ok then. The solution is to just improve the world.
An interesting backronym is Wine being "Wine Is Not an Emulator". That one has an interesting history.

The original author first was going to call it winemu, but didn't like that. He shortened it to "wine", which led him to think of "whine" and "whinny". He liked "whine" but thought that was too long so "wine" it was.

The first suggestion of "Wine is Not an Emulator" was in 1993, when there were concerns Microsoft might raise trademark objects to "Windows Emulator". No one took that name suggestion seriously.

It wasn't until 1997 that it was adapted, as an alternative. In late 1997, the Wine FAQ said

> The word Wine stands for one of two things: WINdows Emulator, or Wine Is Not an Emulator. Both are right. Use whichever one you like best.

The shift to not mentioning it being a Windows emulator happened later. The release notes for 981108 said

> This is release 981108 of Wine, the MS Windows emulator.

and for 981211 said

> This is release 981211 of Wine, a free implementation of Windows on Unix.

As far as I've been able to glean from old Usenet posts, there were two reasons they stopped mentioning it being an emulator.

1. It could be used for more than just running Windows binaries under Unix. If you had source to a Windows program you could compile it on Unix and link it with Wine to give you a port of the Windows program. Wine was now a Windows compatibility system that included more than just an emulator. It was an emulator and a porting library.

2. Computers were getting fast enough that people were starting to run hardware emulators to do things like run game binaries from old consoles or old personal computers. Such emulators were not very fast. This might lead users to think that emulation was inherently slow, which might turn them off from trying Wine under the mistaken impression that it too would be slow.

Wine, when used to run Windows binaries rather than as a library when porting, is in fact still an emulator just like it was when Bob Amstadt first wrote it. Nothing technical changed when they added the backronym, or changed the text for the 981211 release notes.

But now we have plenty of people who have only ever seen the backronym, and the only emulators they have used that call themselves emulators have been emulating hardware, and so will insist that for something to be an emulator is must be emulating hardware.
Linguistic sources say that svet/svit/light/sunrise/world and videt/see/meet have completely different proto-indo-european roots - kweyt and weyd respectively.

Everyone is free to their own opinions. Actions can and should be banned depending on their motivations. We already apply this to other forms of restriction on speech like defamation. Often defamation will require negligence to harm or intent to harm. Someone who is factually incorrect through an honest mistake generally isn't considered to have committed defamation. I don't know why we are okay trying to ascertain the motive behind speech in one instance and not another.
Related talk by Dan Liebgold from Naughty Dog, at RacketCon 2013:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSmqbnhHp1c&t=55s

Starting at around 10m into the talk, Liebgold says their DC language for TLOU (to get what they most needed from a DSL even if using C++ instead of GOAL) was implemented in Racket.

For anyone not familiar with TLOU, it was a critically-acclaimed game, and my personal all-time favorite game for storytelling that somehow grabbed me. (I dislike all zombie franchises, but at a key point towards the end of the nonlinear narrative and playing in the game, I was surprised how much I really wanted to protect the kid. Which I'll partly attribute to a Lispy DSL that helped them execute immersive storytelling in a zombie stealth shooter.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us#Critical_respon...

This is one of the Racket success stories. They seem to happen because someone already knows they want a Lisp, they end up picking Racket without needing anyone else's permission, and the people using it are capable of designing and building whatever missing pieces they need.

>In the North in port cities, merchant owners would hire security at their ports, and decided that it would be cheaper to instead make it a government service that everyone pays for instead of just the merchants[1]

You realize that cost of theft would otherwise be passed on to consumers? It's not exactly a free lunch to get merchants to pay for their own security. Also, I'm sure you can invoke the "it would be cheaper to instead make it a government service that everyone pays for" excuse for any other government service. eg. roads, military, education, etc. Should we look at those services with the same type of cynicism?

Agreed! I lost patience with the backwards Java community long ago, there's no arguing with them, they refuse to even consider trying anything other than what they're used to, so what's the point. Better to move on and leave them to it.
The tag handling and search are critical for me, and they work together. Because I name all files based on the date, I use the tagging system as a way to put files into buckets. I also create a "field" in the markdown file for a description. I can then run a search query which outputs a list which shows filename, tags and, the description field for each result.

The way I use tagging, allows for a hierarchical layout. For example, you could make a tag #layer1/layer2/layer3 and those tags will show in that hierarchy in the sidebar. If I click on layer3 in the list, then I'll get all the files in that tag. If I'm doing a lot of work in a certain bucket, then I might make an "index" file which has an embedded query to list files in that bucket. I could also add more fields to query against if I wanted only a subset of those files (project.)

The tool sits in that Goldilocks spot for me. Compared a "Roam Like" I feel it's a bit hacky and messy while still looking and working well. "Roam Like" feels like what you would get if you aimed more for perfection and more powerful functionality (remember that "Roam Like" is running on a database, while Obsidian is using MD files.) The trouble is, my brain breaks down when trying to be messy in a squeaky clean tool. And everything I do is messy.
Natural moving (rather than frequent warp) is what I want to be solved on VR games.
Having IAM keys in your secrets isn't insecure.

However you now have long-lived keys.

They tend to get used across multiple projects, and despite the best practice being to rotate keys frequently, it's rarely done.

You also have no idea who has them, and without the use of, say, Cloudtrail, you don't know if anyone is using them (even Cloudtrail might not pick up on everything)

The approach here is to get short-lived keys, when they are needed.
