There are good reasons why geopolitics cannot be held to strict interpretation of laws, not the least of which is the enforceability paradox, whereby countries more likely to break the norms are less susceptible to enforcement action. This, and attaching the name 'court' on something does not make it any less arbitrary or politically motivated
Good question!... Uh maybe if you put the text at the top of this page at the top of your linked projects page?, just a bit of explanation, that would make a great normal HN submission. Or - I'm not really a fan of Tell HNs (maybe because I like Ask HNs so much), but I guess it would work as that. They rarely seem to get much attention though.

p.s. Have you written about all those experiences somewhere online? I'd love if each of those businesses had a link to a page or paragraph or chapter about the experience. Huge job I guess.
They didn't defer addressing the issue, they said they'd swear him in. Also, since they had been operating without an elected auditor since the last time they elected one, did no one there know this?

The development of the relational model of databases is an example where thinking things through led to a radically different and superior solution, going in a very different direction than ad-hoc development had produced, or was ever likely to produce. At the time Codd published his seminal paper, there were no implementations of those ideas.

It is also notoriously difficult to get the design of concurrency primitives correct without thinking things through.
As far as I've seen, what killed it was the issue that Angular "v2" was so different from Angular.js (v1) that the upgrade path simply wasn't there. Eventually an upgrade path emerged where a page ran both a bulky Angular.js app AND an Angular v2 app, but it wasn't good enough. By then, React (and to a lesser extent Vue) were looking far more interesting so many teams made the decision that if they had to rewrite their app, they may as well write it in something that has a large community around it and was seen as the "latest and greatest".

It's a shame as I liked a lot of Angular.js but it still lags behind in size and performance these days so it's only attractive to teams that know they're making large, heavyweight web-based software from the start.

So their argument is "Asians are diverse, with a wide range of earnings, therefore it's myth". Sorry, but it makes zero sense. You should stop reading obvious illogical propaganda from race activists.

Also Asians isn't the only minority group that outperforms whites.

Most bridges in Texas are less than 40 years old and 38% are less than 20 years old. This bridge was 50 years old and many bridges in Pittsburg are similarly old.

Coincidentally, bridges have a 50-75 year lifespan. It's probably on the lower end in areas with tons of cold weather, salt and ice. Texas has less deteriorating weather in general. Hence the whole "northern cars turn to rust buckets" meme.

Also, this corresponds to Pittsburg's heyday being 50 years ago.
Does LIKWID actually do such high resolution sampling? (I'm pretty sure it doesn't do the tracing, anyway.) I've not used it seriously, and it seems to be a collection of things I can do with other tools, though I may mis-judge it.
> I don't know what the point would be of developing theories about it.

Easy, the same reason most contrarian theories are developed: grant money and academic prestige. Most theories like this are woefully at odds with what the majority of society believes. If you asked most Americans whether or not they wanted a riot, just or not, in their neighborhood, you know what they would answer.
This is an incredibly rosey take on what happened. One guy was okay with his restaurant burned down, probably because he had insurance.

Many of the businesses affected (thinking lake street in minneapolis and kenosha) were POC owned small businesses. Many were permanently closed because the owners lost everything and didn't have insurance to cover it.

> it is important to differentiate between violence done towards individuals and damage caused to private property

Tell that to the people who put blood, sweat and tears into getting where they are. You think the emotional, mental and financial pain didnt do any damage?

> target isn't a part of the community

What about the cub foods that was totally trashed? Empty shelves, aisles flooded with broken containers. The community didn't deserve that. Nobody benefitted from it. Nobody saw that and thought to themselves "Yeah, go protesters!" It took 8 months to reopen after all of the damage and unrest.
Many American cities' roads are absolutely gigantic, compared to in Europe. And I'm not just talking about their multi-lane freeways - this goes for residential streets too.

To pick a city street at random, look at [1] - a road so quiet you can't see a single moving car in either direction, and it's wide enough you could fit five vehicles abreast.

Americans don't pass within a few finger widths of a parked car, because they can leave a six foot gap just as easily.

Tell HN: IBM free z/OS classes return, low-cost license available on completing
I've lamented here many times that if you want to dabble in the mainframe world, that there were no resources available to mere mortals. That has changed as of few months ago.

IBM's "Master the Mainframe" platform has been renamed to zXplore and been reopened.

Even better, completion of this course and one other super basic one on IBM's site opens you up to apply for a learner's license of z/OS (the dev&test environment that runs on Linux) itself, which can be had for $120 a year.

I agree with you on the title, but when reading what was actually happening, I was disappointed.

> who would want to buy an appartment [sic] in a mall

I wouldn't want to rent an apartment from a mall, but I'd buy one if it allowed me to build out my space any way I wanted, if the mall were indoors, and if there were at least a small amount of services available from within the mall that I would use (such as a good food court/restaurants).

Where I live, about five months out of the year are so cold it's miserable to get motivated to go out. It's too cold and snow makes getting places painful. Having a space, like a traditional "flat" which is wide open and would allow me to construct a living space (which would usually mean buying a place rather than renting it) would be awesome, especially in such a "crappy environment" that an old 80s/90s-era mall has to offer. I'd love the retro aesthetic and I could make some interesting use of it.

I can't see this sort of approach actually happening, though. If it could, and the price was reasonable, I'd buy in.

If your makefile is mostly just simple single commands, there really is no point in moving to magefiles.

The test/lint/build phases of my magefiles are mostly the same as makefiles. What differs is the publish command:

There I can make use of (for example)native AWS libraries to do complex deployment processes with error checking and validation. All this is of course doable with makefiles, but it gets very tedious compared to a "real" programming language.
Leftists will also correctly say that when the state murders you extrajudicially there is only one way to respond. What you're saying is that unless you can somehow guarantee that property wont be damaged you can never attack those who are doing violence to you. Unfortunately, the position that many poor people are in doesn't afford them the luxury of being concerned with other peoples private property and, personally, i am of the mind that they shouldn't have to be.
Hasn’t it been like that for 2-3 years at least?
> Why would the average person who can't even afford a starter home despite working full-time care about an issue like zoning?

Maybe because zoning and permitting are a large part of the reasons why they can't find an affordable house in the area?
Capitalism is a mode of production in which production is motivated by profit derived from the private ownership of the means of production. Those that own the means of production (factories, companies, etc.) perform no labour, but get paid from the difference between the value produced by those that do work and the value generated by that labour. This difference is called profit.

I own no significant means of production. The vast majority of my income comes from selling my labour power for a fraction of the value it generates. Thus I am working class, generating profits for capitalists.

Wealth and progress is generated by labour. I wouldn't have a good job and a computer if the forces of production hadn't been advanced so far. This advancement does happen under capitalism, but not exclusively. Worse, the mode of production can inhibit further advancement, like feudalism was inhibiting industrial advancement.

Capitalism fails all the time, it does it so often it's called the business cycle. Sometimes is fails catastrophically, like the Great Depression or 2008. It's being kept just barely functional by those that benefit from it; most of us don't.

Even better - Java devs who use the default settings for Maven will have their entire local repo copied over the network.

At my company people would remotely log in on Sunday evenings to avoid the hou long wait while a few hundred gigs get copied across the network. Why not chnage the location of the local repo, you ask? Of course our machines are locked down and we have no access to the local drive...

> From the federal government's point of view, you'd want to invest in weaker areas and bring them up to the same level as the rest of the country

Building bridges to nowhere in Alaska or fancy bridges/tunnels in places with zero population density is extremely unlikely to make these areas a net contribution to the federal budget over the long term - just the opposite.

Arguably extremely rural areas are already oversubsidised and will be never self-sustaining in terms of infrastructure, in terms of just meeting the cost of maintaning roads, power, water, mail delivery infrastructure...
Is it a game? I didn't feel that one.
There's a few ways to set up profiles in Windows, and most of them are terrible. If you have the joy of stepping into a network with roaming profiles enabled, you will discover it takes years to untangle.

The idea that you can log into any PC and your local desktop and documents all appear seems really nice, but the implementation weeds are nasty: I tell people to store things they want to access on multiple computers on a network share, and we replicate basically nothing between client PCs.

Outlook also likes to download a large chunk of a user's mail archive locally each time you open it on a PC, but you can configure it a bit, and Outlook generally "works fine" while downloading. I suspect it gets hairier at DOD scale though.

I'm in security, and one thing I always try to stress is that if the security software is causing work stoppages, it should be treated with the same importance as an outage. Just as you wouldn't tolerate an internet connection that went down all the time. Outages from security measures are still outages.
I can solve it second guess every time.

Simply guess all 0's. Then wherever you were wrong guess a 1 the next time.

I can also solve it first guess 1/256 times, but that is less surprising.

An apartment in a mall could be quite nice. Of course, the details matter, and to make them nice living spaces might require some reconfiguration. You don't ask why someone would want an apartment in New York neighborhood with shops, bars, and restaurants. But malls are a lot like those, or could be. Remove a lot of the parking lots with apartments, replace the Sears with a grocery store...

Why is this so downvoted? I really missed the days of python 2.7, I spent far less time debugging breaking version changes and spent more time on my actual work.

For security critical work, like web services, it makes more sense to constantly upgrade to the newest version. But for scientific work, which is a huge audience of python users, who often use obscure poorly supported libraries there is a lot of value in a stable foundation.
They like red hats these days.
There are other uses if your flagging system is not "all or nothing". They can be very useful if they support directing a subset of users, customers, or traffic to new code/infra. The bigger a team gets, the more value you get from this.

In fact, FF like this can be used for A/B testing too.
That is the one problem we’ve found with feature flags. It’s very easy to forget to gut the “old” parts when they are turned off. In many cases I’ve seen two or three year-old feature flags whose stale end still remains because the developer and / or team that did the branch never cleaned up. It isn’t usually malicious or lazy… it’s just how things would pan out.

Then we’d be nervous removing the old stuff cause who knows why it was left there and who knows if they’d want it back on again…
We always talk about time when the elephant in the room is energy. People say we don’t have “time” for that and someone else gets out a calendar and tries to disprove them. Followed by a bunch of backpedaling with other excuses and followed up with foot dragging.

The second elephant in the room is job security. People who write baroque code are hard to fire. Nobody wants to invest energy in understanding their private little Bedlam.
>The whole point of a democratic system is to redress grievances.

God, this is the entire point of decades of research, but, what do you do when the system either will not work for you, or is actively structured to ensure that it cannot work for you? What then?
The US can be extremely creative when it comes to mislabeling things. Wire Fraud, Munitions and Money can suddenly equate to selling something, cryptographic code and people. This makes no sense to uninitiated outsiders.
You used two different standards for riots and wars. For riots you judged damage. For war you judged motivation.

Most wars fail your targeted vs collateral damage test. Maybe the US drone war from 2001 to present as an exception. Although we don’t really have the full picture to say.
> A downside is that although normally you'd want to remove old feature flags that become obsolete, this hasn't been done very often.

I figure this should be somewhat automatable since the relevant bits of code have references to the exact flag's identifier. Was it not done b/c nobody was incentivized in any way to spend any kind of time on cleanup?

edit: OK that might be a bit naive on the organizational side. Force everyone to give every flag an expiry date for review or something maybe?
Great catch. That's crazy.
What people don’t realize is that a prosecutor is like any other job - pressure from the boss to deliver, long hours, “sunk cost fallacy” and all the other crap you see in big corporates.

Not to excuse the behavior, but more highlighting what contributes to it.

Once a prosecutor thinks he has a case against you, you’re pretty fucked to be honest because it rare for them to ever admit fault or back down.

It is very major. There are only 3 roads that cross this (nearly 3 mile) ravine that cuts off a huge portion of the city's population: a local 2-lane neighborhood road, Forbes (this bridge), and the limited access interstate.
I agree this is a good idea, but history has shown that if there is a pile of money sitting somewhere, governments blow it, just like many states have blown through public retirement funds.

The fundamental problem is that people running governments are spending other people's money and they never have a problem doing that.
No, it doesn't. It only shows that I understand that the world doesn't care about "EoL" of tech. products.

Close to half of Android users run on Android versions first released more than three years ago. Just because Google waves and magic wand and says "version X is unsupported" does not make them vanish from the face of the earth.

Caniuse shows IE 11 at 0.66% global use. It means there are ~30-35 million users still using IE11. Depending on what service you run and who your target audience is, these users can make up a significant chunk of your user base.

Windows 7 EoL was in 2020. As any smug know-it-all commenter on Hacker News knows, this means that it's now gone, never to be seen again. As reality shows, it still holds a 13% market share.

And so on. Examples are too numerous to list.

Do you have to support all these systems? It depends. It doesn't depend, however, on the arbitrary "two years is more than enough, drop support now".

Currently a Air National Guardsmen. I've only had it take that long a handful of times. Usually when it does it is running Microsofts Endpoint Manager and trying to push updates, Scan with McAfee and Tanium, and loading a bunch of scripts in the background that are checking for compliance, setting a default AF or local Comm Squadon background, posting messages relating to the current security levels, etc. Its alot to all run as soon as booted and some things could and should be delegated for off hours but its not how its currently set. Typically the first 30 minutes of my morning is waiting for Outlook, Edge/Chrome, and Teams to open before even trying to open any tools. Also from working in Comm I've seen how they purchase hardware and its pretty frustrating. They will purchase 100 laptops at the end of the year to fill their budget for hte year, but its the lowest priced laptop, which is still almost double or triple what you can purchase it for as a civilian, then often times it will sit in storage and no one will touch it. This often happens due to the leadership not having any actual IT knowledge and they make the purchasing calls so performance isnt at the forefront of their mind.
That would be awesome, they can stop yanking the venv out in a separate package while they’re at it.
I was sure this was going to be some kind of joke about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_theory and Star Wars.

If Lucas really did intend this ring theory stuff, that's kind of neat, but the dialogue and plot of the prequels still leaves a lot to be desired.

Why did Anakin have to turn to the Dark Side so suddenly and kill those kids five minutes after he exposed Sidious as a Sith to the Jedi? Because it had to match up with the sudden destruction of Alderaan?
That's not actually such "low end spec" that would cause logins and mails to take an hour to process.

To me, the whole ordeal screams: software bloat, software misconfiguration, background service overload. You could snappily send mail 15 years ago, and the computational task itself hasn't grown much, besides bloated browser login windows.
