"We have a difficulty keeping Safari secure, so we shouldn't let anyone else build a browser since it might be even less secure" does not seem like a convincing argument. It is the opposite: people whose incentives are to make good browsers would clearly make a better job of this than the company that has been working to cripple the web for a decade.
Whole Foods is a convenient place to take my Amazon returns now, at least.
I like Steam as well, but Steam has behaved in an Apple-like fashion by
removing/banning games by coming up with rules regarding content out of thin air and retroactively applying them. I don't think that's a behavior that will change any time soon.

The offense is for hurting a cyclist, who presumably will have characteristic wounds and the driver’s details. That sounds enforceable.

In practice, most cyclists will tell you that cars never stay put after running them over, and that video evidence, even of clearly intentional harm, doesn‘t lead anywhere: the Crown prosecutor ignores those unless the press covers it in detail. Having a fine that police officers will deem excessive is a sureway to have them ignore more complaints.
In the literal sense private is default though. I wonder why. Lexical sorting of private, protected and public?

It makes almost no sense to have all private class fields and methods. The only thing I can think of is fat handles with friend classes or functions.
If a user on 2G you'd probably be better off moving away from typical web dev entirely, and delivering a desktop or mobile app with as much clientside logic built in as possible (offline database, CRDT for syncing, no external dependencies, binary protocol for any critical networking, etc).

The programmer ability decline is probably just because it's easy now. There are still amazing programmers, it's just that a "mediocre programmer" was hard to find before, when getting ANYTHING done took a ton of skill.

As long as the number of excellent programmers is steady or increasing, I'm not too disappointed if there's a bunch of average ones too, as long as those average ones have great tools that let them still make good software.

It does seem like some of the very top innovative projects are done by one person.

I have very little direct experience with software small enough for an individual to understand, but it seems like a lot of our modern mega-apps are elaborations on one really great coder's innovation from the 80s, and real knock your socks off innovation only happens every few years.

Engineers that don't understand or care about UX can be a really bad problem, attempting to bolt on a UI on something meant to be a command line suite is usually highly leaky.

The opposite seems to be slightly less of a problem, to a point, almost nobody writes sorting algorithms, and writing your own database is usually just needless incompatibility.

I definitely am glad it's a spectrum, because having absolutely zero idea about the real context gets you in trouble, and stuff like media codecs are hard enough we'd lose half the worlds devs(including me) if you needed to understand them to use them.
Claimed Headline is wrong, and not what the BBC article says. Actual headline is

"Highway Code: 'Dutch reach' rule change to Highway Code welcomed"

This is guidance on how to avoid knocking people off their bikes, which remains just as illegal as it used to be. Doesn't matter what method you use to achieve that goal, as long as you achieve it.

Is it legal in the US to stretch out your arm in the path of a jogger and knock them flying? How about if you do it with a car door?

{current headline on HN is “Dutch reach” car door opening method becomes law in the UK (bbc.com)". I suspect the BBC headline was originally that nonsense but was quickly picked up by a second pair of eyes}
Yea true, and not just the code-signature, also the problem or jira-tickets the code is addressing. I.e If i'm reviewing a backend-api ticket I KNOW it's prob NOT the new Frontend-UX hippie we hired :P

Which then you can asked is that not ALSO a red-orange-flag ? Should one of the metrics not be to be as 'uniform' as possible ? But I do get your point even with uniform guidelines etc, any seasoned def can quickly pick-up who wrote it.

That's silly hyperbole.

More likely, the main "enforcement" would be losing points when taking a driving test. That encourages driving instructors to teach it; and that causes drivers to learn it.

In the case of a collision (e.g. knocking down a passing cyclist), if the driver was seen (by CCTV/dashcam/witnesses) to not use this procedure, then that could be taken into account regarding liability, insurance claims, etc.

This is a sad farce and all, but the reality is that it doesn't take 850 books to educate a child in the humanities. It shouldn't take more than three:

- 1984 by George Orwell (born Eric Arthur Blair) -- what evil looks like

- The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius -- the "theory" of a good life

- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig -- the "practice" of a good life

In the Nordic countries at least, kids spend quite a lot of hours of the day outside in nursery/kindergarten/school as a rule (babies too: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21537988 ) while as parent comment writes, school systems that encourage less outdoor time lead to more myopia.

There's less sunlight in the North during the winter, sure, but still several orders of magnitude more than inside (also, more UV etc.).
The article does not say that, indeed the word "law" isn't mentioned once
Let’s also not forget that Person C does not seem to know anything themselves about the rules and procedures.

They just showed up at the next meeting hoping everyone had everything figured out for them.

I find the entire attitude here extremely interesting, because it’s most likely a repudiation of their preconceived ideas. The idea that there is this singular powerful “establishment” that has all the power and works hard to keep outsiders from breaking up their way of doing things.

What this episode really shows is that government in the US is singularly disorganized, driven by largely a whole bunch of self interested individuals, who are largely winging it as they go along.

If indeed it was the “establishment” that was so worried about this auditor position, why would they not put up a better fight to win the election in the first place? The actual winner seems surprised they won, which indicates they didn’t put much effort in campaigning. The “establishment” surely has enough money to run a campaign in a tiny town to win the election?

Further, if the “establishment” was so scared of this individual and so powerful, why would they do something silly like basically say something that is contrary to the law over email? They’d probably be better off just ignoring him and/or having an attorney come up with a legally plausible communication that would have conveyed that he isn’t likely to be seated without doing so in a manner that is apparently contrary to the clear law.
The discussion is about retail so I'd exclude healthcare and education. Retail-wise, with relatively low sales tax(no VAT, typically 5-10% sales tax) and highly competitive options we do have cheap abundance in the US. Isn't one of the main criticisms that we waste the most energy per capita? Fuel is cheap, electricity is cheap, electronics are cheap, food is cheap and portions are massive. When I travel the only thing I find comparatively cheaper in other countries is human services. So in places like Southeast Asia or Latin America you can afford a maid and a driver on an upper middle local salary but would still pay more for an imported cell phone than an American.
Wow. Even if I don't agree with this race/identity thing you guys have going on no books should ever be banned. You can't ban ideas and thoughts. You will only make them more interesting to people if they're banned imho.

And IME it is the proprietary drivers that usually offer least value and most problems. That sways buying decisions.
> Are you proposing waiving technical interviews for people who worked in "reputable" companies?

Yes, of course. If you have a degree from a recognized schools and many years of experience at the job, why would you be hazed on undergrad trivia you've forgotten decades ago?

None of my high school friends who went into accounting, finance, medicine, law, etc have this problem. What is it with the dysfunctional hiring BS in software development?

A surgeon with many experience at a top hospital most certainly does not get grilled on organic chemistry trivia from their undergrad classes when chaning jobs.
Kreya – gRPC Client – Looking back on 2021
At the beginning of 2021, the first release of Kreya was published. Since then, many more releases have been added and more and more users are actively using Kreya. In this article, we give you an insight into our current telemetry data and briefly summarise the year 2021.
QUIC and ECH cover the leakage of host information already, so DNS over TLS/HTTPS is plenty useful already IMO. Just needs the hosts to upgrade to support ECH or QUIC. Plus it's never bad to cover your bases, DNS queries are for more than just the browser (ie, for example the SRV record which an application may use for connection data or TXT records for configuration or ACME).
All the time, especially in low incidence high impact scenarios. You must wear a seat belt ("don't get killed in a crash"), your brake disks must be at least this thick ("you should be able to stop before your brakes fade"), you cannot use a mobile phone while driving ("you must pay attention to what's going on around you"). Concrete requirements are much easier to police, even though they may not reach the intended end goal completely (e.g. distracted driving due to hands free calling).
Yes we all know that auditing firms are never thoroughly corrupt/incompetent, nobody could have foreseen Enron or Lehman Brothers (or loads of smaller scale cases)...
Could be related to the decision to remove individual names from the product about boxes back when Jobs came back to better control leaking of internal information and cut down on poaching.

Number 27 - a bit more corrupt than United Arab Emirates, Bhutan, Uruguay and Chile. How on earth could someone read that as a good position for the USA to be in? The US is constantly touted as some great leader of the world but it is never in the top of any statistics of Good Things. The US should be compared to the best (Denmark) not just be like "yeah 27 out of 180 is great" or "#25 on the Democracy Index, marked as a Flawed democracy, is amazing!"
Yeah sure! One realization which helped me with this: how many people will be affected by how your code is written, vs what your code does? Given that, where should you put most of your effort?

I might think the important part was Japanese carriers were weaponizing flip phone culture to gatekeep "PCs" and open standard smartphones out of their microtransaction ecosystem.

My eye-doctor an old guy just before retirement said after being asked about laser treatments:
He had a patient that spent 5k on a laster surgery. Nothing went wrong, but it didn't improve his eyes. It would have been better to go on a good vacation.

There is sadly no guarantee that they help, and they can damage your eyes in the worst case.
> It would be cool if code-reviews were done "anonymously"

Sometimes during code-reviews I find myself wanting to leave 100+ comments. Instead I settle for the few major ones and leave behind most of the minor stuff. I don't want to be perceived as someone who is difficult to work with, so try to pick my battles wisely.

Wonder if anonymous code-review that helps with that.
There are countless examples of similar requirements. The license requirement for driving is, for example, a specific instruction how to do something. The law doesn’t just say “must be capable to safely operate a car”. I bet building codes are specific with regards to materials being used. Rules of the road require you to use turn signals to, well, signal turning, even if you could communicate the same with other means.

Customer service!

That's it. There is some competitive pricing, almost predatory, but personally I keep going back to Amazon for customer service.
What is the enormous selling points that I am missing when I'm faced with this confusing mess?

First of all the Amazon SE is a complete joke compared to Amazon UK and US. With a broken design and much smaller selection. That being said, as someone who occasionally orders from Amazon SE, I'd say price, selection of certain niche items and delivery times are the reasons. For some items Amazon is very cheap. Recently ordered a book that cost 500 SEK on Adlibris or Bokus and 350 SEK on Amazon. Another book I wanted had a delivery time of 10 days from Adlibris and 24 hours on Amazon. Same with certain electronics. A DAC I'm currently considering is 20-25% cheaper on Amazon SE compared to any other Swedish site. Also if you want some cheap knockoff crap from China, Amazon generally has faster shipping, no tarrifs and much easier returns than aliexpress and friends.

But in general I only shop on Amazon if they are much cheaper or the only site that has the thing I need.

Additionally the Highway Code is the “textbook” for the national driving exam. New drivers have to pass a theory test that follows it closely, and may fail the practical test if they don’t follow its guidelines.
Question from a naive kiddo; When the PRs are this big, what are the steps taken to "get it in" the master ? Just blindly accept based on CD/CI jobs, or break it down to walk through every change ? "Ref: supply chain attacks"
>> Same goes for reserves, that money isn't just dropped out of a helicopter with no strings attached, all that money introduced is backed by a commitment to repay it.

This is true. However, the second half of this isn't always intuitive.

Bonds come with a commitment to redeem and pay an interest rate... but both commitments are in USD. Both USD and US bonds are accounts at the federal reserve. An institution holding bonds has an account, where they can buy a bond with a dollar or redeem a bond for a dollar. Their bond account will decrease by a dollar, and their dollar deposit account will increase by a dollar. No one's net position changes.

Imagine if the rules were reversed: the treasury mints coins, deposits them in the Fed and receives bonds which it can spend.

What's up with these titles? Does noone know how to Convey an idea anymore?

My first reaction on reading the title was: "who would want to buy an appartment in a mall". Ofcourse when you read it you understand that NO, Malls are not adding appartments in their space, Malls are being demolished and appartments are being constructed on their space.

It's just a normal Redevelopment project.
This is where Python's "consenting adults" idea comes in. Why the hell should someone change a vector "mid-flight" - that is a huge code smell and should be dealt with in the review / design / discussion / pub.

But there are reasons and rationales to "lockdown" the code (beyond not trusting fellow devs!) and at that point I suggest that any mutable state language cannot be properly locked down - so use a functional language where its easier to reason about.

Usually (IMO) private classes etc are just trying to make it easier to reason about state changes - when its probably best to dump the whole mess.

I thinks it's a little weird. Denmark has cyclists all around as well, and cars. We're just taught not to open the door without checking for traffic (be it cars, bikes or pedestrians). You're taught that as a kid by your parents.

It's pretty obvious that when you park anywhere that's no a booth or your driveway you need to look before opening your door. I honestly don't understand that this is a problem. Do people else where constantly open their doors into traffic? Just "WHAM, door gets pulled off by a passing car". If you're not used to driving places with bikelanes I can maybe see it being a problem in the passanger side of the car.

It is (was?) a click bait headline.

The Highway Code doesn't have the force of law. If something in it says "you should do X", its a recommendation. If you don't do it, it won't look good if you're in a crash and might contribute to a dangerous driving charge, but it's not outright illegal.

If it says you "must not do X", then it it something illegal. However, it's not the Highway Code that makes it illegal, there's genuine legislation that the Highway Code is paraphrasing.

The article doesn't bother to say which it is.

30% in the rest of the market is also not an arbitrary number. The App Store charged 30% to compete with brick-and-mortar retailers charging 70% on all software - not just games. Apple has charged the same rate since the store's inception. If developers are complaining about the 30% after 15 years of agreeing to it in the first place, then Apple isn't the cause of their woes. Apple is not obligated to change it's rate simply because developers have retroactively deemed it unfair anymore than developers are obligated to change their prices because the consumers should deem those to be unfair.
