Can you please clarify what you mean and why you think this?

Whether from a lack of experience with how these things can go badly, or from a lack of good faith in trying to understand others' concerns, it sounds like you simply don't understand why people would have issues with this. But you haven't clarified what your comments that, from my perspective, appear to be even more reactionary than the people you're accusing of being reactionary.

The Tesla talk this week has been dominated by the FSD recall, and no one is talking about how they where just caught reporting inflated numbers in Australia. The 15,000 deliveries, reported to authorities, made them the best seller in Australia. But a journalist noticed that Tesla accounts only reported 12,000. Tesla claim that they accidentally added 2020 and 2021 deliveries together.
I... don't think it's as big a step as that, because back when horse carts and cars were around you could hire a driver. Net effect (not having to drive yourself) is the same. It's an evolutionary step, not a revolution. I don't see it having as dramatic an effect on society or how cities are built as cars did.

I don’t think Apple Maps use OSM correctly, otherwise they wouldn’t suggest me walking over a bridge that has been disused and partially disassembled a decade ago. OSMAnd doesn’t do that, for example.
I find the recommendations rarely useful. But what really bugs me is that the same series / movie typically shows up in all kinds of lists. Over and over and over. Besides the categories - often filled with stuff not matching the label - I see the same stuff repeatedly in "trending now", "top 10 today", "only on Netflix", "popular on Netflix".
Thanks for the kind words. config format and documentation is an oft mentioned good side of syslog-ng, but good points on memory and CPU usage.

Multi-line messages are supported by syslog-ng but only with transports that also support it. RFC5424 transports generally do. UDP does too (but there are other problems with that). We can also "join-up" messages spanning multiple lines from files (using regexps or line indentation as indicators, see multi-line-mode() and related options)

It’s not a violation if the CEO of Apple is on “having lunches together” terms with the CEO of Amazon.
there's another issue with measuring too much: if you only derive value of that you can measure, you will constantly feel bad when doing things that have no apparent measurable value.
So then you say to yourself, relaxing on the sofa has value because it makes you perform better to have breaks. But do you really believe this? And in any case, you still can't help measuring value into relaxing because you are brainwashed into thinking everything must be quantified in order to justify something. So even relaxing or playing video games must be seen in such a context in order for you not to feel bad. it's becoming rediculous.

Meticulous | Founding Engineer | London | Full-time | Onsite | Visa sponsorship available | £100k - £150k, 2%+

Hey HN, I'm Gabriel, founder of Meticulous (YC S21). Our mission is to make the world's code safe, performant and reliable.

We're starting with a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.

How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch a 60-second demo at https://www.meticulous.ai.

Catching JavaScript regressions is just the start. We are a London-based YC company. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.

You can read more at https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/meticulous/jobs/AkHpFa...

If interested please feel free to reach me at gabe at meticulous dot ai, with a few lines on what interests you about Meticulous and mention HN in the subject line.

Ripple crypto doesn't own that name in any domain other than crypto so it can be used in other applications without an issue. The name makes a great deal of sense in this context since mmWave uses tiny waves; otherwise known as ripples.

Thank you :-) I wholeheartedly agree with you, and I'm sad not seeing it reported more often.

I consider that Google Maps being free stagnated the maps market, and stopped any innovation from happening. Often when I say this, I get "But OpenStreetMap". When only volunteers can compete, that's a definite proof something's wrong.

(though arguably Google Maps did improve a bit over time, while gmail really didn't at all)
This are big news, congratulations to everyone making this happen!

Looking forward to what it might bring into safer computing world.

Can't tell whether it is sarcasm or not. A "Company" might get insulted, but, lucky you, you talk to a hiring manager. Who is just a person, not an entire organization, and who is not spending that X out of their own pocket.

This is a very interesting move from AdaCore. I've been a vocal advocate of Ada as a general purpose programming language for a little while. I hope that this helps expose the language to a wider audience, and gives the wider programming community cause to reappraise Ada from a modern perspective. It's a language with a lot to offer.

Blender is such an amazing open source tool. It used to have a reputation (along with GIMP) of having a steep learning curve, but that is definitely no longer true. They recently (v2.8) did a major UI/UX overhaul and its now very easy to use.

Its also completely scriptable in python. I used blender on google cloud platform for my startup (https://lulimjewelry.com) where I digitally engrave my customers fingerprints on a piece of jewelry and then 3d print it for them. I build the pipeline in blender on the backend using NYT's blender docker containers. Everything can run headless (although headless rendering with Eevee was a pain to set up).

I have an un-related hobby where I often have to edit video. In the past I've used iMovie just because it comes on my machine, but I've been meaning to try out Blender. I've heard some good things about its editing capabilities.

I don’t think B) is necessarily true.

I’m a software engineer/programmer by profession and schooling, but I have a life-long fascination with little critters, especially insects, and especially Apocrita and Lepidoptera among insects. I’m an avid participant on iNaturalist and have almost as much reputation on Biology StackExchange as on StackOverflow. I also enjoyed proofreading oncology papers for my brother in law when he was doing his PhD because that stuff is fascinating when you have somebody who can explain it to you.

I’m not spending more effort in biology or entomology mainly for three reasons:

1. lack of time, especially since getting married and having kids;

2. lack of mental energy partly due to kids, partly because I’m tired enough fighting inane requirements or some stupid half-assed TypeScript “framework” du jour every day at work;

3. I’m not confident I can make as much money in entomology as in I.T.

Lack of interest has never been one of the reasons for me.

Hold on, so you buy an ad slot, serve your code in that ad slot, AND serve another ad inside that slot to resell? Is that actually allowed by ads provider?

The idea of running vm inside an ad to harvest compute from unsuspecting visitors... I think this might accelerate widespread use of adblockers even more if you successfully deploy this in the wild because people will notice ads are getting heavier.
My understanding, from the last time I looked into this, is that the US does have decently aggressive laws against spamming people without offering them ways to opt out and some prior relationship, but a bunch of the spam originates in places outside the US and its immediate allies, so shutting it down becomes nontrivial.

I have, in fact, gotten periodic spam calls, though only once or twice an SMS - usually trying to solicit me about my car's insurance policy having issues (I do not own a car).

I sort of wish I could convince my Android phone to treat all calls to my direct number from anyone but GV as spam, because I have never given that number to anyone.
Hey

For now we have a recession in real estate in tourist locations due to the covid. There are also signs of restrictions will be declined shortly. Predictions by sustainability experts, consulting companies and statements of World Health Organization are among that signs.

So it becomes evident that it is a good time to establish real estate fund to operate assets around the world, mainly in tourist locations. For now, ICO and concept of token-as-a-share seems very reasonable. Team already consist of experienced developer and real estate professional. If you blockchain engineer or PR professional, will be glad to invite you to the team!
How would the government have capacity to do this? It's much easier to just purchase bundles of mortgage backed securities. From the moral hazard standpoint, I think they were worried more about the lenders rather than the lendees. Under this arrangement, even the shadiest of private lenders get rewarded. Under TARP, at least it was just banks that got bailed out, and they could buy the MBSs at a discount.

Your NetGuard (https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard) and FairEmail (https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail) apps are great. They are high quality, open source and contain none of the dark patterns that mobile is plagued with. They are available to download from Github, F-Droid and the Playstore. There are paid premium features to support you but if I wanted to I could still compile the app myself to unlock them.
I am an intense user of WP since 2016 and I wrote several plugins for my own purposes.

The overhaul that came with Gutenberg was painful and it took almost two years to catch and fix all the bugs, for example with embedded videos. But as of 2022, I am happy with Gutenberg and it feels intuitive.

I know a few guys who could never make the necessary switch in their heads and hate Gutenberg with a fury of thousand suns, though. All of them are over fifty.

Now, Substack has even more intuitive and amateur-user-friendly editor, but a much more limited set of options.

That used to be a thing with Firefox profile corruption so they had a tool to copy all your data to a new profile and start there. I think that was pre 2014 ish?

Considering it worked with new profile it is very likely that is what happened here. I am not sure if the profile migration is still there though.

Because it adds to the software complexity. several boolean toggles for deciding what to incorporate into the localization algorithm: one toggle for GPS, another for wifi, Bluetooth, cell tower, barometer, etc. and fusing these in all the various combination, testing them, etc.

and after doing all that users will mess up their config and then complain that this app sucks not knowing someone on HN had this feature request for "privacy" reasons even though it's pretty unclear to me what privacy is being gained here.

Yes, cxx.rs is really good for what it is! There's also autocxx that aims at generating cxx bridges directly. What Rust lacks is, to my knowledge, a C++ interoperability working group. cxx.rs (which is useable but by no means finished) could be a topic of such a working group. Direct compiler support of C++ could be another.

A better C++ rust interop story is a critical piece for Rust's success IMO
Arguments for compactness:

- Namespace system strongly favours single-word names

- Type embedding allows for single-dot access (not this.path.is.long())

- Zero-elements allow for elegant, zero-line initialization and existance checks, alleviating in part the need safe navigatorion operators.

Also I'd argue that the lack of map and filter are programmer nudges towards more elegant, compact solutions, but that's hard to prove. I've been annoyed with the lack of standard ways of doing things as well, but most often it turned out that I was simply doing it wrong, and Go was carefully designed to make the wrong way annoying to use. The compactness doesn't stem from using fewer lines to express simple constructs like if else, but the overall code organisation and structure that are the result of nudges like this one, as well as the code encapsulation they use (no classes, but interfaces and structs) and acyclic dependencies.

Generics will come out with the next version, though.
Is that true for Google Workspace search?

Quite so! The reasoning (or excuse) with some folks seems to be "As I'm likely to be biased anyway, I may just as well be a bald-facedly lying propagandist", which is an even bigger problem!
I very much agree. Rust is often seen as C/C++-inspired, but I know a lot of the early team looked at Ada for inspiration. We have also seen in many evaluations of "new stacks" that we were invited in that Ada was evaluated along with Rust. The conclusion was often similar: both languages have matching ambitions, in different forms. Also, there's a ton of places where Ada is just "there" already, e.g. by having something like SPARK available and in production use for many years.

I expressed some of those thoughts in the corresponding post on the Ferrous Systems blog: https://ferrous-systems.com/blog/ferrous-systems-adacore-joi...
