How is a very real situation at all hypothetical? Because it goes against the narrative you're screaming?

Pick one. You are a publisher or a platform. The days of companies having their cake and eating it too need to be over.

Also, HN's an aggregator, at least come with legit comparisons if you want to even try and make a salient point, for once.

And if getting rid of HN meant all of this shit would end, I'd forget it existed. Youtube made itself a lynch-pin of society by begging us to join and host our videos in the beginning, then they got so big they felt they didn't need us, and the censor waves began.

Now they've taken away dislike counts solely to appease companies buying ads on their platform.

I absolutely love how you are all for censorship of videos on YouTube, but you seem to abhor the thought of HN going away.

You are willing to silence people whom you disagree with, but heaven forbid they come for the platform you happen to use :)
> They're already spying on near every street corner, after all.

Citation needed.
I think thats FUD. I will be able to tell if I had it or not. Maybe I had it while not in here? Maybe I had it and didn't realize? It is for sure not an incentive to do the bureaucratic necessary dance.
> future states that all contain the same specific pattern.

Past yes, but probably not future surely? I see no reason such a pattern couldn't be broken by outside influence somewhere in the future.
> Has anyone made a bot yet to automatically reply to stalebot so issues aren't closed?

stalebots serve a purpose but they can be extremely annoying also.

I literally have 10+ issues bookmarked on Github I have to keep responding on to prevent the stalebots from wiping the issue out.

They are all issues affecting my software, and I don't want them closed by a bot just because nobody has gotten around to fixing them.

Maybe I should just go in there and submit a PR, if only I could find the time.
Afaik, it's been tried and abandoned for some reason.

Being able to close an open resource when a function returns is generally useful. It has nothing to do with error handling.
In Europe if you are double vaccinated + boosted, you don't need a test to travel by plane.
If there were enough vaccines for everyone around the world to get the protection equivalent of 3-shots, and people took them, the pandemic would be over now

This is a very bizarre assertion.

Given that, the vaccinated spread covid, even with no symptoms, vaccination status does not limit spread.

No amount of vaccinated people, will end the pandemic.

Note that, to spread covid, it must be replicating in the body. Therefore, as it is replicating in the vaccinated, it will continue to mutate and evolve.

There will never, ever be an end to the pandemic, due to existing vaccines.

Ever.
I like this. SaaS platforms typically don't want to do this precisely because it limits vendor lock-in, but I think it's the right approach.
Ask HN: Intercompany Data Delivery. How?
As of 2022, are there any de-facto standards of data delivery methods (services, protocols, providers, formats) between different companies? Think, Kafka but between different orgs.

Let's assume that the question is about general-case transactional data delivery, so it can't be satisfied by S3 or leading warehouse SaaS (say the receiving side doesn't use those).
I don’t get that part either. OTOH, an effective property tax rate of 3.2% or so seems much more reasonable that the 9.8% percent implied by his table. Assuming people but anywhere close to as much house as they can afford, the city taking 10% per year seems just confiscatory.
By the end of SG1 the stargate program fell under the "Homeworld Command" department, headed by a 3-star general, still part of the Air Force.

Not sure how they can really progress from the. The power of Stargate is that it was based in the modern day, but also made technological progress. Not just militarily either, it was even alluded to as far as civilian progress in Moebius, when there was a reference to advanced technology of Daniel's camcorder, apparently the timeline which didn't have the stargate didn't have things that advanced (storage? Battery?)

The concept started needing a fair bit of suspension of disbelief, the programme should probably have been made public in "Disclosure", or certainly after "Lost City" when the Nimitz etc was destroyed. Indeed that may have been the plan had it been replaced by Atlantis rather than renewed for season 8.

I'd be happy with some sort of reboot of the concept (ideally with new characters so it's not an obvious copy, but something based in the modern world, with some form of new secret alien tech - stargate would be fine, but some changes to the worldbuilding so we don't already know the plot before hand)

Getting the right chemistry between the actors is key.
The sheer audacity of claiming this is about protecting children, while politically connected people like Prince Andrew walk free, is just mindblowing. Wow, just wow.
Ugh please don't do this. Just standardize the existing __attribute__((cleanup)) mechanism which is already implemented by compilers and widely used in many free software projects.
People who don't drive any vehicle take advantage of that. So it's small vehicle drivers subsidizing [via fuel tax] those who don't drive at all, yet take advantage of shipping via heavy truck.
But that's kind of the problem here. Apple removed an entire platform for what I'm assuming was a few CP reports, and Tumblr reacted by adding an extremely aggressive "adult content" filter that wiped out a ton of legal content, and triggered a mass exodus from their platform, so they wouldn't get their app permanently removed from the app store and have their business completely destroyed.

This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone but CP happens from time to time on all large platforms, you get reports and you remove it, it's just a fact of life if you do a lot of third party content hosting. Tumblr doesn't have the means to pre-screen all of the content on their network, so they chose to eliminate all potentially problematic content before it gets published using an aggressive ML porn detector (probably Yahoo's open_nsfw), rather than face Apple's wrath on it. Again, for what was probably a few specific reports on a few tumblr accounts Apple was threatening to (and temporarily did) remove an entire platform from the store that billions of users require to install it.

This is absolutely a consequence of their monopolistic and arbitrary control of their store and their policies that leave no room for error in content moderation. Apple is absolutely altering the nature of the web when they do things like this, and deciding through fear what kind of content is going to be allowed by scaring platforms into adopting a lower floor of controllable risk.

Whether you agree that Apple's infamously closed off bureaucracy should be the content mods or not for any platform that requires use of a phone camera, criticizing them about it is absolutely within the bounds of valid discussion here because they absolutely played a key, major role in a change that wiped out an enormous percentage of Tumblr's users, the vast majority of whom were not violating any laws.

Now I should mention they certainly have the legal right to do so, just as Twitter had the same legal right to ban a Twitter account for a ToS violation, but this feels a lot more concerning to me. It would be like if Apple was telling Twitter to dump an account for their ToS violation or they would remove Twitter from their app store.
I highly doubt you can explain why.
I’m currently doing what your friends have expressed wanting to do by enrolling in launchschool.com, which is $200/month and will give them a great taste of what learning how to code entails… I’ve been thrilled with my experience so far.
What Strong Towns hasn't figured out, but which is obvious to everyone else, is that cities have really bad failure modes. Unfixable failure modes.

The people running the cities run them into the ground by applying more and more gold plating to the services they provide, making sure to lard the contracts for their friends who keep them elected, and pursuing their luxury beliefs through unworkable policies. Eventually it all collapses and is irretrievable. Then they whine about being underfunded. If only they had more money, they could make their luxury beliefs work.

People move out of cities because they do not feel safe, and the services suck.

It's really the only option they have, since the people running the cities are completely unaccountable.
Hi! At the time of the article's publishing, I had my nickname set to "danielle conway" in the CGoL Discord server, and I guess apgoucher thought that was my full alias. I usually just contribute pseudonymously as either "danielle" or "dani".
You are aware that there are innumerable developing (colonised) countries that are low-cost, relative to developed (colonising) countries right? India is only one of them.
Write out your entire message and only then hit send.

Don't type out "Hi" and hit send, then write out one sentence and hit send. Then have another thought a minute later and hit send. Doing that selfishly occupies my attention for too long.
Every message should be actionable at the time of receipt. That means no “hey” followed by silence until there’s a response. As an extension of that, a message should only be sent when you’re available to continue the conversation unless otherwise stated. We must show respect for the attention we are grabbing by choosing an instant message. I often start a message with “this isn’t urgent, reply at your leisure”.

Basically just pretend you’re emailing.
> It was never a stipulation of warp drives that they would cause something to move.

The name was lifted from a very well known science fiction universe, where it has exactly that stipulation. As a result it carries that implication for (the vast majority of) readers when it shows up on IFLScience or whatever.
Thanks, good feedback :)
This is whataboutism; you have no proof that people who care about one thing don't also care about other things. Also, calling people you disagree with "woke" and claiming they "virtue climb" (what does that even mean??) is intellectually lazy.

I'm not even sure that hospitals are under-investing in security so much as that the current security paradigms are dysfunctional for hospitals (and a few other key industries).

The current security paradigm includes a lot of rapid adjustment. Upgrade this package immediately, ship a new binary using an upgraded library, firewall this off right now, etc.

I think that might be fundamentally incompatible with an environment where downtime can be counted in human lives. The risk calculations are a lot harder when death is a potential outcome of downtime caused by upgrades.

I don't have a magic bullet solution to that, but I do think that gets lost in a lot of the armchair security discussions around hospitals. They operate under very different expectations than the rest of us.
I haven't seen Der Ring des Nibelungen yet - does the opera really ridicule Brünnhilde, as this article implies?
Calling something behind the times because it's on prem is exactly what caused these large corps to put their trust in this crappy vendor's 'cloud' which is what made it such a lucrative target in the first place. If every company we're running their infrastructure on prem this wouldn't have happened in quite the same way. So no, the 'cloud' is not always better just because it's the 'cloud'
Surely there must be some research on this?
From an outside Windows user and admin perspective, I find it weird to blame Balmer here. I recall the era under Balmer as one where Microsoft made a lot of stupid moves, sure, but they were generally still pretty responsive to user feedback and I distinctly recall receiving our paid support on SQL issues from actual Microsoft-employed SQL engineers. Today all our paid support issues seem to go through clueless third party companies, and Microsoft very much seems to actively despise Windows users.
To me it seems much more likely that it is just unable to distinguish these cheeses. Both cheeses look very similar both in the cheese itself and the rind. They are also packaged and served in similar ways.
An easy solution is to just not build roads for new developments. If a private interest wants to establish a new development they should pay for it all. The market will magically include all the costs in the final product (buildings/homes) and no one will be out a dime involuntarily. Things will cost what they actually cost.

Some would counter that this isn’t how economic development works. Arguments would be things like businesses need incentives or the city is responsible for common infrastructure.

The problem is that roads just become a form of corporate welfare. If a enterprise or business doesn’t want to fully invest in its new location, IMHO, it is not worth it and you need to face the fact that your town just isn’t ready for it yet.
All this says to me is that your value of joy is zero
Maybe I'm just an idiot here (haven't really used JSX outside of React) but what would you consider spiritual alignment to s-expressions? There's a lot of baggage that comes along with them, and Hiccup carries some but not all, but at the end of the day Hiccup is actually composed of literal s-expressions.
Isn't there a corresponding B' involved here? Or am I just dumb.
I don’t think GP’s logic extends to what you claimed. I took their post as saying all those who are being personally enriched by cryptocurrencies have to acknowledge and take responsibility that the one of most widely adopted, global use cases for crypto is allowing the ransomware industry to mature.
Your remark also assumes the poster is American. Assuming the morally dubious personal enrichment claim from GP, your statement would be true for anyone holding stock of Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, or Lockheed Martin, however.
> Mac

We have to use Macs at my new job, for compliance reasons. What a shitshow of UX. How on earth is anyone supposed to know to use snowflake-click to switch between app instances? That isn't "strictly [better] than Win 11" (per the article), because at least the method in Win 11 is discoverable (there's also the well behaving alt+tab, and win-number). You have to use snowflake-C + snowflake-V, unlike every other OS in existence. This not only screws with muscle memory, but it's genuinely uncomfortable for such a common action (especially on their keyboard).

Windows 10 was the peak. After that, Microsoft seems to have joined Apple's race to the bottom. The Linux desktop is the last bastion of sanity.
They just see dollars.
Thanks! At least provides a bit of a window into what is going on
I will have to agree that's by far the most legit reason to hate Win 11.
Then one year later you have to play archeologist and figure out the hard way what `f` is used for. And I also find it much more difficult to write code like this in the first place because it forces me to memorize the purpose of every identifier.

Not sure how "easier to type" is relevant - aside from Notepad pretty much every editor offers some completion feature.
I'm definitely a fan of longer identifiers, though abbreviated where it makes sense and using short words where possible.
Right, he could have used many other examples, but he took one which he knew what the developers are paid in and went with it. What is wrong with that? You need to use some number for your example. If he knew a location with cheaper developers he would have used it instead.
That's fine, I'm just telling you that these people clearly are not interested in the properties of the blockchain itself
What you’re suggesting is not in line with current legislation, it’s just mere fantasy.

But if we lived in a world where your fantasy came true, how could any moderated discussion board exist?

> I absolutely love how you are all for censorship of videos on YouTube, but you seem to abhor the thought of HN going away.

These two are the same. HN wouldn’t exist without all the hours put into censorship by dang.
I had not thought about it from that perspective. That’s a great point.

My thinking was that it puts real costs in front of people. You see more directly what that street to your house costs.

I’ve always thought about advertising the cost of the section road you’re in costs to build, maintain, and push the snow off.

Broadly speaking: Be considerate of others' time.

Specifically:

- Be concise and quick. Write out a succinct message, review it, include necessary links, and then hit send.

- Avoid formalities ("Hey" "How are you" "Do you have a minute?"). Just get to the point and let them respond when they're ready.

- If it should be an e-mail, send an e-mail. If it needs to be a meeting, schedule a meeting. If it's best discussed in person, find the person. Resist the lazy temptation to use instant messages for everything.

- Watch the hours. If it's 9PM at night and you don't need a response by morning, wait until morning to send it. Or send an e-mail.

- Use group channels when appropriate. If you're discussing something the entire team needs to hear, use the team channel. If you're having a back-and-forth debate with one person, take it to a thread or private message.

- Show you've done your homework. Before asking someone for help, be prepared to list what you've tried and why it failed. Don't ask coworkers to help you with things that could be answered by reading the documentation or using Google.

"bottom of the barrel X developers" can also be really easily read as "developers who are X and therefore bottom of the barrel", and whenever I've heard similar phrases in real life, there's always at least some level of insult being cast on whatever X is.

That was addressed in the show. The Prometheus used a retrofitted Asgard hyperdrive however the Asgards didn’t provide them with any tech to build weapons (at least until the very last episode in SG1).

You do see Earth building energy weapons based on Zat'nik'tel which was used for training exercises after SG1 scavenged the same devices from a Goa'uld camp who fashioned those same training guns that appeared like Earth weapons but were Zat-based. However those wouldn’t have worked on a larger scale (ship to ship).

They do also address in one episode why SG teams prefer their guns over the Jaffa’s energy weapons (the argument given was “accuracy”).

I really don't like it. The lambda stuff, especially the captures that were ripped from C++, don't fit C at all. The question about whether it should be cleaned up at end-of-scope or end-of-function is too ambiguous and debated. And if I'm understanding this correctly, this is the worst part:

> This indicates that existing mechanism in compilers may have difficulties with a block model. So we only require it to be implemented for function bodies and make it implementation-defined if it is also offered for internal blocks.

"Bottom of the barrel" here might not mean "intrinsically incapable", but rather "agreeing to work for lowest wages in the industry". These can as well be students.

With the cost of living in India being so much lower than in the US and even eastern Europe, Indian developers is probably the least expensive option for those who is looking for people who can actually code and speak decent English. No racism here, just unequal distribution of life standards.

If we assume 3 tiers of restaurant, with McDonalds at the cheap end, places like Chili's and TGI Friday's in the middle, and fine dining like steakhouses at the top, this change is aimed at the middle tier. In the US the trend has been that this middle tier is in decline, while a new middle tier has emerged , with places like Chipotle or Panera. These compete with sit down restaurants like El Torito with food that is comparable, but prices slightly lower and service that is faster. The main difference is that they eliminate hosts and servers by making you order at a counter and pick up your food when ready (some give you a number flag and bring it to the table). Places like Chili's and Olive Garden already have a tablet at the table where you can order additional food and drinks, and swipe your card right at the table. They are already socializing the concept of tableside ordering...it won't be long before customers can seat themselves (e.g. pick any table where the tablet is blinking green), order right from the tablet, request anything they need during the meal using the tablet, and pay on the tablet. Of course there is still a "call server" button.
