Mostly because they didn't got the memo and think .NET replaced COM.

Which was kind of the original idea, but then with Longhorn WinDev wasn't happy with how things were going, so instead of doing like Google with Android, pushing the new stack no matter what, they worked against it.

So when the reboot that would become Vista started, all Longhorn ideas got redone as COM instead of .NET.

And since then all major APIs are COM based, eventually with .NET bindings as well.
But the code isn't equivalent. The C code just has a pointer to a manually allocated buffer, while the Rust does the equivalent of zeroing out (or leaving uninitialized) a C++ std::string. Akin to:

auto name = reinterpret_cast<std::string >(malloc(sizeof(std::string)));
memset(name, 0, sizeof(std::string);
*name = "basic";

But on the stack.
Hmm, interesting. I hadn't thought of it being a language- or country-based issue. Still, this is an English language site (and article), so if that's the reason for the request, it seems unreasonable.
Absolutely. At least here in the United States there’s a full on collapse of trust in institutions and supposed expertise and for extremely good reasons.

Over and over again those with authority have squandered it. An opioid epidemic devastated so many communities after doctors, health care executives, and McKinsey and Company said the new class of drugs were non-addicting. Our manufacturing sector evaporated after economists and politicians said free trade would benefit everyone. Thousands of young people were sent to die in the Middle East in a war all the experts said was necessary and would be relatively painless.

Those are just the first three examples off the top of my head. I could keep going. We were promised technology would improve our lives. We were promised borrowing money for education would improve our lives. And on and on and on.

All bullshit. All promulgated by supposed experts with impeccable credentials. It’s a full on disaster and the chickens have come home to roost.

Yeah, but there's increasingly no place for me in the working world. I'm decent at a lot of things, but not an expert. I'm no longer relevant.
simply put: one doctor's opinion is bullshit same as my opinions are bullshit.

If a large number of doctors say X is true and Y is bullshit, if I think Y is true and X bullshit, I need the same number of doctors to agree with me to counter the argument.

I have no idea how to respond to the overcrowded hospitals.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-hospitals-...

Hospitals have been jam packed the entire time. There is data everywhere to support this. Tons of procedures are not being done due to beds and ICUs being full. Ask anyone who works in a hospital. Call one if you'd like.

You can do a rough risk computation yourself I guess. Both ingress and egress is worse if you have a valve though. Does seem like egress is still a bit better than what other people do (in this model at least - which could be wrong), but one shouldn't set one's standards by "what other people do".

I fully expect my first electric car will, when it arrives, be a Hyundai or Renault/Nissan, or somesuch from a company that builds cars which happen to have an electric drivetrain, rather than whatever this shit is.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Regardless of where you stand on specific issues like censorship, public health and misinformation, I think it’s really dangerous how counter-consensus opinions cannot be expressed in the open without individuals facing intense public scrutiny. There needs to be some kind of correction mechanism in case the consensus opinion is misinformed.

Maybe it would help to put in terms of a (not-so-implausible) scenario folks here are more familiar with. Suppose one day a niche topic in computer science became the subject of mass public concern, e.g., a computer virus escaped the lab and programable computers became heavily regulated. Anyone caught running unapproved software could face criminal charges. "But Turing Machines can be good, creative tools", you protest. "No, we cannot predict their behavior and unsanctioned software endangers us all," says your friend. As a programmer whose creative freedom depends on libre software, how would that situation make you feel?

Ah, I think I can spot the difference, but it seems like a fairly trivial one to me. I bet cultures that categorize these people into a third gender would be offended if you mis-gendered them as well. And lol, I'm not too interested in going down the sexuality rabbit hole (hey-oh!) but suffice it to say it seems like in both instances you've got some people who see a spectrum and some who see a dichotomy. I don't think it's any surprise that I'm in the camp who sees a spectrum. I also understand wishing it all were a lot simpler.

Microsoft's biggest failure was Windows Mobile. If they got Mobile right hands down they would be on a highway to $10T company but otherwise they are riding the wave of cloud, AI and gaming. Like Steve Jobs[0] said they are strong opportunists, they have no taste, they don't have original ideas and they don't bring much culture into their product but they keep on coming. Microsoft uses its big cash pile to either acquire companies or to copy them.

Yes, although most of South America suffered in different ways that are arguably worse. The Mohawk and the Navajo retained their language and their culture; the Caribs and the Quilmes are so thoroughly effaced that we know nothing of their religion and their folklore. Nothing as culturally catastrophic as the burning of the Maya codices befell the Haudenosaunee.

Although the situation for Native Americans in the US is extremely bad and has been much worse, I think your 1%/100% contrast overstates the case a little bit. The current (not pure) Native American population in the US is 2.9%, or 9.7 million people. This may be higher than the pre-Columbian population of Native Americans, and if it's lower, it's probably not by more than a factor of three, and I really don't want to endorse ideologies proclaiming the virtues of racial purity, since I am a liberal.

The great problem is, in my outsider view, not population loss, and even less is it "race mixing", but the parlous circumstances to which modern Native Americans have been reduced --- circumstances largely established by openly white supremacist government policies.
The "it depends" is "yes, but maybe you lose your backing camera" something similar.
> It's really not possible to overstate what an accomplishment this was

For some of us, it's a challenge to disentangle the achievements from the politics (e.g. "I hate Trump, so I refuse to believe his administration did anything of note"). But the world isn't a comforting black & white; instead, it's nuanced shades of gray.

Let's applaud the achievements that saved lives, regardless of the administration that promulgated them.
> does Tesla share some liability for changing how basic safety equipment works?

If I was on the jury for that specific fact pattern, then it seems very likely that, yes, they would.

Probably the lion's share of the liability too (though definitely not 100%).
I strongly protest the concept that the recent introduction of politics is making things worse than they used to be.

If you ask anyone who was senior working in these institutions in the 1970s, things were far more dodgy back then.

Corruption and bigotry were rampant. But it was far easier to cover up back in the day.

Politicization is mostly driven by transparency.

Politicization is not a new thing, it's a fact that there's a lot of extremely conservative individuals in each country. And technology has bought them closer to their institutions.

Society is being brought very closely together, and we're working through the teething issues.

Rogan's opinions are not to be taken seriously (and mine as well),unless they pass the test of time.

I don’t think that disagrees too much with the hypothesis. There’s plenty of jobs with good pay but will double the rate of your aging — Amazon is one of them. If you’re someone who has the skills and can put up with the culture then collect that paycheck.

Right now today I could switch companies and make about 30% more if I was willing to take a corporate job. I don’t because I have a great work life balance and the money just isn’t worth it right now.

I am dyslectic and have been programming for over 20 years, largely programming itself doesn't seem to trigger for me, as I am creating, and I'm not working in sentences, but in smaller logical statements that doesn't often require the same processing as reading text does, I will admit that I can very easily screen up a variable name, and if I've read a variable name elsewhere and intend on referencing it, that can be tricky. But as the Scantis said, auto completion has been a boon, as it basically acts as a safe guard against these issue.

I think it might be helpful if you could say specifically what are they having issues with. what is triggering things and where.

As for fonts/colors/etc.. I always use mono spaced fonts, and ones that make clear distinctions between all characters (0/O) (I/l) etc...

I use dark themes but I don't think that helps with the issue, and is just a personal preference. I can't imagine using a screen reader and it not being horrible, code is far to many characters with specific meaning, for a reader to read them out would be minding numbing.

There's little difference between arbitrary arbiters (read: mostly robots) flagging content as "inaccurate" as compared to outright banning content (to me, it is very similar to the Jude Star of David). A more reliable solution would be to be able to actually pick arbiters you trust, like you can do with social media on the Fediverse (implicitly dismissed as "fringe" in the article).
How on earth would a two-dimensional array be their first approach? And then acting like a tree is a novel concept? I had to double-check that this wasn't a dev.to article.
South American here, I interviewed with a lot of local companies out of school. Mind you the highest offer I saw was $1000/month for mid level, also for some reason a lot of interviewers ghosted me (maybe I was not upto their standards of entry level or I failed the tests), so I was feeling like a failure after spending like 2 months job hunting, then it hit me that I could apply to US companies,

One week and one interview later I had a job (applied to like 5 companies max) making $3200/month as entry level.

To be honest I would have taken those local jobs but after such success with us companies I don't think I can afford it anymore.

Hm, when they took away the defog button did they control for cold/wet/rain? Sure, the defog button isn't used much when you don't need to defog, but when you do, you need it right away!

I'm a big Model 3 fan but I hate the new UI. At least let us use the new docking areas for every possible function.

Up till now the windshield wiper control was the biggest model 3 UX issue. When I took delivery of my model 3 it started raining and I almost had an accident trying to figure out how to get the wipers working. The auto-wiper function sucks big time. But now there's more fairly important functions that are really hard to get to, from annoying (driver profiles) to safety (defog).

This is really hard to understand and concerning.
A lot of the annoyances that you cited are valid. I speak three languages (one that the keyboard does not support), and my accent when speaking English trips Siri a lot (But I prefer not to switch to French). But the ecosystem really works together when using Apple products. Anything else and it becomes jarring. And you can appreciate it when you accept THEIR way of things. I used to be a heavy customizer (Arch, Custom roms for Android,...), but this day not so much.

And it does work for people that can accept that. Anyone else? Not really, as you will feel frustrated by the constraints and the tall wall of their garden.
> Or there's a need for communication.

If you have good English command, you are already worth something on the Internet. Also, someone not from an English speaking country will need to pick up English by himself and practice frequently.

Argentina used to be a first-world developed country in the late 19th and early 20th century. The self-defeating crab bucket mentality only took root there as a result of left-wing populist politics.

It's not like the medical system was a highly trusted and respected institution that politicians somehow undermined in the last few months. The lost of trust in the medical system has been literally over 150 years in the making. If you read some books on the history of the rise of homeopathy in the United States in the mid 1800s, the parallels with today aren't exactly subtle.

I think my biggest concern is "platooning" instead of coupling. It only takes one car going slightly out of the sync to become a Very Big Problem (a lot of train accidents have happened via a full or part train going runaway).

It almost certainly would not get regulatory approval, particularly in the US where the FRA is very "my way or the highway" when it comes to new things, or standards that were NIH.
"one shouldn't set one's standards by "what other people do""

In policy matters one can and should.

This is the stupidity I think of the scientists here.

If others are wearing surgical and little cloth masks, only wearing them a little bit, but then they say I can't wear my valved N95 (which I do very carefully) it's both totally arbitrary and unfair (my exhalations are still equal too or less others).

They also miss that the tradeoff might not be between my 5 hours of N95 use in a relative high workrate environment and something perfect, but that I will join with just about everyone else and ignore what they say, or go down to something like a surgical mask for comfort. Or take my mask off more for comfort to "drink" etc.

I'm convinced many folks on HN sit behind computers in empty rooms alone and NOT wearing a mask. If you have to wear a mask every day - these issues would matter a lot more.

And it's happening again right now, albeit for a better reason than normal. The WebAssembly Component Model (currently in development) draws heavily on lessons from all these generations of reinvention, and especially from COM itself.
I totally agree with you.

Science is the method.

The method is to put the burden of the proof on the humans that disagree with what the method has reached an agreement on.

Because it's really hard to trick the method given a large enough community that disagree on the results.

We are fallible, the method, at least, doesn't care about our feelings.

Nobody hired into Amazon now is going to become a millionaire. Their total comp packages are the smallest of the MAGMA and their stock has only 3x'd in the last seven years.

To become a millionaire, you have to get into a company where your equity will 10x or more. You'll have to pay cost of living, capital gains, and you'll probably want to diversify a bit along the way.

For this to happen with Amazon, inflation will have to be wild, or they'll have to enter and win a lot of new markets. I can't even image a $10-20T Amazon.
It depends on what O365 means to the user.

A lot of people (me included) aren’t using Excel beyond opening the files to look at the graphs or entering data in predefined fields. It’s the usual 20/80 split between the people actively creating and managing the data and the ones on the receiving end.

For a long time Microsoft pushed Office adoption by forcing the “viewer” to have licenses to access the data. That’s why a company would buy Office for every single employee. But now, you can have Office for the “20” part, and have them push their result to Notion for everyone else to view, do simple things with it.

Notion can effectively be a O365 replacement for the proverbial “80” part.

(Basically O365 is becoming a “power tool” and Notion can skoop the “casual users” slice. I see G\Suite inbetween)
It really was social media.

Tell an algorithm to optimize for engagement and it will promote the content causing the most engagement: novelty, conspiracy theory, outrage, surprising "revelations" and all sorts of clickbait.

If we removed Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok and reverted YouTube to the pre-algorithmic (subscription based) era, we'd still have free speech on the internet but probably a lot less bullshit.

Note: Twitter would still promote bullshit even without a ML algorithm. The rules of engagement:

- short content
- individual popularity means content popularity
- retweeting is instant, requires no critical thought

create an environment where clickbaity emotion-viruses spread at exponential rate, and things that require engaging the brain are ignored. Its essentially a crowdsourced rating system for tabloid headlines by design.
