> in Germany we were taught little of what happened after 1945

I'd have to guess that has something to do with.. how things went for Germany in 1945? In my US public education we had a series of courses that covered "recent" history as in the last 20 years or so and another about current events.
Yes, and? The world is big; the huge corps can suffer by reduced hiring pool -- or reduced quality in their newer hiring pool -- and the world, surprisingly, will not end.

The strong talent will move someplace else. You can dangle big pay checks and perks only for so long.
When you've tried the all-meat diet and didn't like it, the all-chocolate diet seems like the logical next step.
Not necessarily. Missing or misspelled tags could be discovered just like a row in a database that has a column value that is missing or misspelled can be. For example if you want all your photos to have a 'Year' tag attached for when the photo is taken, just query for all photos WHERE 'Year = NULL'. The same goes for values like names. If you see that you have 10,000 files that have 'Name = Karl' attached but only one that has 'Name = Kral' attached, then that is an easy fix.
I was the accidental instigator of an incident where Mosaic for Windows ended up with April Fool's jokes embedded in it.

It was probably the first time I noticed what others have noticed since then, which is that I have a way of asking questions that causes other people to react (often more than my attempts to directly influence).

All I said was, "Isn't this going to be our last release before April 1?" Everyone got quiet for a minute, their eyes glinted, and we went from releasing at a reasonable hour for once to deploying at 1 am. Unfortunately the lead engineer (who ended up putting an audio clip of himself knocking on his CRT and saying, "hello? Is anybody out there?" on an idle timeout) and I had worked out all of the off-by-one errors on date calculations in Win32 early in the evening when we were still sharp, only for him to change the numbers in a crisis of faith later in the evening. So the whole thing fired on April 2. Which luckily was a Sunday, so few people using it at work or for classes were affected.

It was all fun and games until the emails started coming in informing us that we may have been hacked. I like easter eggs in my games, but I've only ever mentioned this to coworkers as a cautionary tale about impulses and judgement when tired.
Given the amount of malware in the play store, I'm not sure about this...

I’d say there’s a difference between orchestrating people and running meetings. You wouldn’t generally need to have a meeting with your whole team very often, presumably they have different roles and different goals that you can treat somewhat separately. And when you do need everyone in a room, you’d be better off running it as a presentation (ie, with all the prep and structure that comes with it).

(Stand ups, while arguably valuable, are like a series of short presentations, so IMO don’t count as meetings).
You quoted the "wrong" part of the speech. Here it is, I highlighted for you:

> As for military affairs, even after the dissolution of the USSR and losing a considerable part of its capabilities, today’s Russia remains one of the most powerful NUCLEAR states. Moreover, it has a certain advantage in several cutting-edge weapons. In this context, there should be no doubt for anyone that any potential aggressor will face defeat and ominous consequences should it directly attack our country.
You can compile Linux and a user space program with different versions of GCC.
> For unknown reasons Ukraine started to want to join EU and/or NATO.

Could it perhaps be related to the fact that they were promised neutrality (also by Russia) in exchange for giving up their nuclear weapons... and then Russia invaded Crimea anyway?
What this misses is that you might be the problem.

I've worked at a startup where the exec team has turned over 100% multiple times. This advice would not surface that issue, it would perpetuate it.

If you are a leader, and you are having a problem with a report, you need to ask yourself first: is it them, or is it me? Emotionally hard to do.

The advantages of using a newer language greatly outweigh the disadvantages of theoretical "reflections on trusting trust" attacks. By mandating C89, you're condemning thousands of kernel developers to use a language that's over 30 years old because of a theoretical attack that has never happened and seems practically implausible. Does anyone really think there's a backdoor in both GCC and Clang (remember, Linux can be compiled on either)?
I would not be surprised if this practice actually violates Right to Repair laws in the U.S.
A. You've misunderstood georgism. It is possible to increase value of land, often substantially. The insight of georgism is that it is usually not the landowners own actions that increases land's value. If the nearby school is ranked highly, then lots of people will want to move into my neighbourhood and the value of my ~~house~~ the land my house sits on will go up. But the school usually didn't improve because of something I did.

B. I would benefit massively from being able to build a condo on my plot of land downtown, where right now I have a single family home. Each unit would sell for hundreds of thousands of dollar, and a high rise condo could have hundreds of units. Subtracting the cost of construction, I would still make a tidy profit. However, if the value of a unit went down low enough, then I would make hardly any profit at all. If everyone in the city was permitted to develop their homes into condos, pretty quickly the market would be saturated, and the price of a condo unit would drop substantially. Likely it would reach the cost of constructing the condo unit (+ interest etc). Furthermore, once the value of housing went down, the value of my house would go down too. So I as a homeowner would likey become poorer.

It makes sense for me to want to build a condo on my land. However, I should oppose everyone else being able to build condos on their land, even if that means that neither can I. Thus, NIMBYism.
Companies do involve into politics because otherwise they negate their own existence.

Do you negate air and yet breathe? Pretty much the same thing.
To think that companies exist out of the political sphere is at best naive, at worst utterly delusional.

This is concise and yet hugely inspiring. I love seeing people and their companies publicly committing to their ideals. Software engineering is ripe for further movement toward self-awareness. This industry is one of the most powerful parts of our modern world, and placing oneself closer to a recognition of that impact on the real lives of humans is very welcome.

Thanks for the bravery JetBrains.
Ken Thompson's "cc hack" - Presented in the journal, Communication of the ACM, Vol. 27, No. 8, August 1984, in a paper entitled "Reflections on Trusting Trust", Ken Thompson, co-author of UNIX, recounted a story of how he created a version of the C compiler that, when presented with the source code for the "login" program, would automatically compile in a backdoor to allow him entry to the system.

https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/hh/thompson/trust.html

The paper's a pretty entertaining read:

> First we compile the modified source with the normal C compiler to produce a bugged binary. We install this binary as the official C. We can now remove the bugs from the source of the compiler and the new binary will reinsert the bugs whenever it is compiled. Of course, the login command will remain bugged with no trace in source anywhere.

Sadly they will have stay away from open windows now.
Honestly I think it works better, in some ways. I can share my screen and demo what I am doing, and they can follow along on their machine or vice versa. You can also take control of their machine. Rather than huddled together staring at the same screen. If something doesn't work on their machine, I can try it locally on my machine without having to walk back to my office to try whatever commands they were trying. Don't get me wrong, in person training is valuable, but even if we are in the office, sometimes we still setup a video call for some tasks.
How is this buying any time? The sanctions will only make everything worse. There is no profit to be had from exploiting Ukraine, at least not comparable to the military cost and the sanctions.

Let me rephrase that. I wonder if some of the people who are labeled under Morgellon's disease have had an actual encounter with such a bacteria.

You have written elsewhere that "Morgellons is something that people only ever "have" if they go looking for it."

My experience with the concept is similar to that, but different. I first heard about it in the context of a building that had what is now called "sick building syndrome." In short, a combination of poor air circulation, bathrooms that weren't properly ventilated on the outside, and an HVAC system that hadn't been cleaned in over a decade.

People were unknowingly sick, but had nothing to show for it except the odd particle found on their skin. So the logical people did what logical people do and looked for an answer. Some went to dermatologists who only gave the answer "there are signs of an unknown infection" and provided creams. For some, this is enough to move on. While others need the exact answer to find peace. So there you have it, a bunch of educated people on search engines writing "redness on the skin with dust particles", "infection only in one room", "small itchy filaments on the skin", etc. Soon enough, "Morgellons" appeared in the results and was the topic of conversation.

Now obliviously it wasn't "Morgellons". Air quality tests were performed and revealed the presence of spores, which led to the discovery that the bathroom vent was not properly installed and that the HVAC system was long overdue for cleaning.

However, if these tests had not been performed and the building owner had not been cooperative, you would have a large group of engineers believing in Morgellons, as that was the only "logical" explanation at the time.

This brings us back to my question, "I wonder if this might have something to do with what people call Morgellon's disease." Not necessarily as an explanation of Morgellons but as an explanation of some of the reported symptoms. If I had on my body the exact same bacteria as the one in the short video of the article and went to a search engine to find the answer, I would very likely fall on Morgellon's disease.

It's entirely possible that 100% of the people who claim to have seen filaments moving on their skin were imagining things, that they all have a mental health issue.

But coming from a fibromyalgia household where the women in my family were led to believe their illness was imaginary ("female hysteria") for decades, some of them wasting years on powerful antipsychotic and antidepressant medications, I am very wary of dismissing self-reported symptoms as psychosomatic.
If you have a workplace where the vast majority want to work remotely but management doesn’t, it could work. But stats posted elsewhere in the comments suggest that (in general) only slightly more than half of employees want to do so, which I don’t believe is enough for efficient collective action.
Bernie and Trump basically had the same policies on immigration as well (for labor politics purposes). Trump was basically an old school labor democrat who said some edgy things.

Any theory which does not take into account a country manipulating a market so it can get a monopoly on a key economic element for other countries, then use that to subjugate or conquer them is a hopelessly naive theory.
Fair enough! As I said, I suppose C doesn't need to change that much; people use C because they know what they're getting, and for that to be the case, it needs to be stable.
Here you go:

> As for military affairs, even after the dissolution of the USSR and losing a considerable part of its capabilities, today’s Russia remains one of the most powerful NUCLEAR states. Moreover, it has a certain advantage in several cutting-edge weapons. In this context, there should be no doubt for anyone that any potential aggressor will face defeat and ominous consequences should it directly attack our country.
> but I'm curious why the pace of language is so slow. I guess it's because C has more or less stabilized and thus further revisions are less necessary?

That is a big part of it. C is an old, stable, complete language.

There is also the existence of gnu extensions, which bridge the gap between language revisions. For example, anonymous unions were added in C11 but they have been a gnu extension since forever.
I'm impressed by this deeply. Those people don't just protest, they risk their financial future, maybe even their lives.

This isn’t over. Governments may issue advice in the future that would be wise to heed.

And even then I have a bad habit, in part due to multiple monitors, of trying to mix tabs and windows and sometimes I cannot for the life of me locate the tab that is playing when someone needs me for something. I may need a new rule about where such tabs need to live (separate window, one monitor, virtual desktop, something).
Unfortunately I don’t agree. If 95% Americans want to steal my assets, something is wrong with the them (or me), and I should have probably seen it coming and leave. Why would I want to live in such extreme society anymore. If I was used to set an example that still would tell many a lot about this hypothetical america. Would a tyrant really be of any help then, maybe if it was somehow “good” to me, for a limited time but definitely does not justify its existence and cost on freedom and wealth.
Thank you! It is a simple site that uses an API from another project am developing for the search results.
This argument would have merit if everyone still used 5.x to compile Linux, but that's simply not the truth. Most people are using a Linux compiled by a somewhat up to date version of GCC.
Ahhh. I wonder if this is something I could cobble together with a few open source components.

We can't even agree on safe string functions for C, half a century later. You shouldn't have security bugs baked into the standard library and you shouldn't have to do a mountain of research to know which functions are safe and in which cases.

However, for most things non-string, non-pointer, and non-array, I agree with you.
Design language looks very similar to Windows 11? Not sure if it was intentional since it must have been in development for a while. Anyways, it’s a very elegant looking environment.
Doesn't seem so :/ Personally I think their best bet is to wait and see how the situation evolves in the short term. Russia does not seem to want to hurt citizens. At least, not yet...

Urgh, I hate this.

I wouldn't take the opposite side of Google's bet. They're spending a couple of billion on the bet. GOOG, AAPL, FB, that's about a week's worth of earnings to them. And if they're wrong, they have a depreciable asset that they can spend the next 30 years writing down. NBD.

"Settled history" is for fools. I'm on the side of Ukrainians who want to live in peace and prosperity rather than suffering violence and privation. For that particular interest, it seems that holding elections could be superior to violently occupying government buildings. This "Revolution of Dignity" smelled even more CIA than January 6 did. Mrs. Robert Kagan was just one of the many spooks who left her bloody fingerprints on this supposedly sovereign nation. You call Yanukovych a stooge literally because he negotiated too firmly with EU. This seems similar to Trump being impeached because he delayed sending the same armaments to Ukraine that Obama had refused to send his entire time in office. (It seems maybe those armaments have not had the advertised effect?) Any molehill can be puffed up to a mountain, when the USA military-industrial complex might thereby grind more human lives into dollars...
NATO has been steadily moving in towards Russia, picking off ex-Soviet satellite states one by one, and withdrawing from the treaties that kept the EU safe:

>Where are the voices that seek a structured shift away from personality cult politics?

Part of the issue is populism, which is as strong on HN as anywhere else. If I said 'hey the US & other countries should move away from a presidential system to a parliamentary one, because by making choosing the leader less democratic it reduces the cult of personality', I'll get a ton of downvotes. If I said 'the US shouldn't have primaries but instead let party elites choose their candidates [the way the rest of the world operates] to reduce the cult of personality', I'd get a ton of downvotes. If I said 'hey strong political parties are actually a good thing, and candidate-centered politics where candidates can appeal directly to the voters without party elites gatekeeping out demagogues is actually really bad'- I mean, same.

The way to 'shift away from personality cult politics' is boring and technocratic, and we're in the middle of a populist, anti-elites age. Less direct elections, more appointed offices in our democracy, stronger parties, more gatekeeping & no primaries- it's exactly what we need, and it's exactly what the mood of the 2020s doesn't want right now

Are they? I am sure that some are, but I get the impression that he has a fair bit of support from the country.

That might fade when/if the sanctions become serious, but thus far I have the impression that he's generally popular (if not as popular as rigged polls would suggest) for his hard-line stance against the US, NATO, and Europe.

Am I wrong about that?
If your application allows somewhat flexible queries this might also create potential Denial of Money attacks, which I personally find scarier than plain old Denial of Service. I mean that's always a risk with this type of pricing, but the particulars of a relational database with a query planner makes this a lot more dangerous.
The collective action oughta just be support for choice for all. My suspicion is the end result would be hybrid for most- I think most pro-office folks would be content to work remotely at least a day or two per week- and remote for some who really want it. Pre-pandemic, most companies already had at least some remote workers who reside in different regions from the company, anyway.

Collective action should preserve work location choice, not enshrine any one specific choice for all cases.

yes they are.

I quite like my employer, but their return-to-office policy is non-negotiable, so I am going to start looking for a new employer.

This literally ruins an otherwise wonderful working relationship and likely will result in years of tribal knowledge lost (as the senior engineer on my team).

And yes, I have reached out to my manager, and this policy is non-negotiable (as it is company-wide), so the writing is on the wall.

Nope. In some cases not fighting against something is the same as supporting it. And the people behind those companies are human too, they have their own thoughts, passions, fears. I'd condemn my employer if they stood idly by a war crime literally impacting employees and their families.
