> .NET is for Windows

yes, mono exists, but the language is created and steered by Microsoft for windows.

you can also run a lot of windows apps with WINE, but that's not gonna make me write windows apps for Linux.

> It’s slower than Node/Python/Go/Rust

literally never heard this complaint, and the first 2 languages have never held the torch of being fast.

> It’s a legacy platform

as I understand, it's pretty actively developed and gets newer features more regularly than Java, but again, it's a Microsoft language.

> The tooling is expensive

Of course you can write and compile C# with other tools. This is the same strawman as #1.

> .NET isn’t open source friendly

TFA said that Microsoft is friendly to OSS since Ballmer retired.

K.

> It’s for boomer enterprise development

This is a stupid argument. Another strawman.

Look, I'm not arguing the merits or tech of the dot Net platform or C# or anything there. By and large, I think it's a good platform, but it's Microsofts baby, so setting up a bunch of strawman arguments for why non MS platforms should adopt a proprietary tech from a company that is overall hostile to open source efforts just comes across as corporate propaganda.

49 m² per person, enough for a small house, not 5. If you build a skyscraper (or, more ambitiously, underground) you could have luxury space for hundreds of people. Energy would be a problem, but not as much of a problem as the Belizean government.

.net has had first-class linux support for a long time. I do over half of my development in a linux VM using a linux toolchain (working on .net's wasm support) without touching any windows software. Then for my personal projects I use visual studio on windows
The working of cryptocurrency is flawless, but the current mechanism or the way it works has some flaws in my opinion. Like the Nakamoto consensus mechanism, how the actual code runs, who has and does not have the right to modify the code, does the code after being deployed on the mainnet needs to be modified in the first place, does the code needs to be fixed-static-immutable, governance (51% limit), POW vs POS vs different types of POS etc.

I will write it in detail on my blog and post it. The basic theory is in my head, I just need to write it down properly.
There's been lots of bad decisions along the way for .net, but In its current state (.net Core 6) I can't really see any of your problems happening. Although what strikes me most is your first point. Running SQL server on 1gb and complaining that it didn't work well isn't really wise. Maybe this happened on the early years of .net Core or even on FF?
So essentially you should ignore this article and go find real scientifically researched info on this issue elsewhere. Anyone have any good links?

And sorry, I watched the first 30 seconds of that YouTube video and don't see any reason why I'd trust it any more than the times article.
What do you want to train and why?
Do you have any links to stuff about struct enregistering and guarded devirtualization? I'm familiar with the concepts and have gotten .NET to do the latter intermittently but if there's documentation on how to make them happen reliably that'd be great to see.
Actually US strategy is right. Current state of affairs clearly shows that US could simply wipe out all the Russian invasion forced from above. It does not make sense against coat herders on coats but is perfect fit against army massing up huge amount of steel.
Do you mean like Katz's or your random neighborhood deli? I live in a gentrified area, but a regular sandwich is like $7. It's more expensive than a sandwich you'd get at 7, but a lot more filling too.
Please don't throw the word "FUD" around, especially when you didn't understand the comment.

GGP did mean HDCP 2.x (DRM to encrypt the signal between display and device) which is often not supported by commercial displays. Unless devices detect a compatible, DRM-protected display, devices will refuse to play UHD content made by the movie industry.

This is whataboutism. Obviously the war in Iraq was a terrible mistake and tragedy, but that doesn't give anyone carte blanche to do equally terrible things.
Also wars tend to make viruses evolve to more deadly variants since it's harder to isolate the sick, or at least that's the hypothesis about the 1918 flu.
You say that but those people not "making masks for life" controlled 90% of the mask market in the US. Who cares how they did it, the main issue is the fact this country is unwilling to build up local supply chains because they're too busy giving themselves fat bonuses by cutting costs while jacking up hospital bills on patients (speaking of the hospital admins who are responsible for this sort of thing) and no one in government or anyone else is going to stop them.
I think you're both right.
One thing omicron seems to have made abundantly clear is that this virus is undergoing recombinant replication. That doesn't bode well for existing vaccines when so many hosts are unvaccinated/unexposed globally, where it can replicate and mutate readily.

The optimist in me wants to believe omicron is a sign of things to come; more infectious but less deadly variants we can largely ignore like the common cold. But what's preventing another variant emerging that's both more infectious and more deadly after ripping through one of the less vaccinated nations? The lethality aspect seems somewhat random from where I'm sitting, not an expert.
I am a big fan of electrification but an induction range to replace my glasstop is on the order of $3-4,000 (and not in stock anywhere anyway) so I can't blame anyone for sticking with an old reliable gas range.
It's HDCP that's the sticking point.
Then why is gmail still free?
I'm still learning C#, but I think it is just awesome.

You can build for:

- Linux (x64, arm) - even raspberry works fine
- Windows (x64, arm)
- MacOS (x64, arm)

The only thing I'm missing atm is BSD, although it might work with Mono, it is not officially targeted. More: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/rid-catalog

Only the original Unix shell is that old and isn't in use today. All the shells in use today are newer than that. They all definitely have bug fixes that people today care about though.
> It’s slower than Node/Python/Go/Rust

It is , it also is slower to start than Go/Rust, and it takes a while to reach steady state due to the JIT nature of the
language

> trailing node.js

yes, it's a shame to be behind node.js

> It’s for boomer enterprise development

It kinda is, other than ASP.NET and Entity, what else do you have? it's bloated enterprise stack only

You need to configure your project with XML, you need to do build scripting with XML, and you can't cross compile, and you can't properly deploy without spitting 400 dlls in your directory

> It’s a legacy platform

It kinda is, containers are all in Go, there is no SwiftUI like frameworks, it still is split between WinForms/WPF/WinUI, and you need freaking XAML scripting
It is interesting but I had the opposite experience.

I think two things led to this.

1. In ante-natal classes the person took us through child development and what children are capable of at different ages. In particular, newborns to about 6-8 months do not even have a concept of themselves as separate people. All they can learn at that time is whether the world is a good place where their needs have a chance of being met. They are incapable of e.g. deliberately crying in order to get picked up. If you do not respond to their suffering you are just going to create a needy and insecure child. So we dodged that bullet.

2. The book "Parent Effectiveness Training" which was a revelation to me. The basic idea is that children own their lives and the consequences of their decisions. Of course there is a limit - you don't let a 3 year old run into traffic. But as far as possible let children make their own decisions. They learn really fast that way. If you micro-manage their lives you end up with 18 year old children.

This does not mean you do not have rules in your house. You are not allowed to play drums at 3am, but that would apply to everyone.

So many parents impose their own choices and preferences on their children for no good reason, and it creates resentment and stops children from learning from their own decisions.

As one example, I have lactose intolerance but I was forced to drink milk, with resulting stomach aches, etc, for many years. I literally knew better than my parents and school in this matter. Similarly if you think you know better than your children in every matter, may I suggest contemplating the spectacle of a 15 year old dressed for a party by Mom.

After our daughter turned 12 we only overrode her on two things - becoming a vegatarian (not allowed until she completed her growth) and a change of school. In both cases we carefully listened to her point of view and considered it, and explained why on these rare occasions we overruled her. Because this was so rare, and handled in a respectful manner, she accepted the decisions.

My own mother waited with great anticipation for the teen rebellion that she had forced her own children into, but it never came with my daughter. Why rebel when there is no need? She never lost the love of learning and ended up with a PhD in a hard science.

One other comment on the OP. There seems to be a wider issue here. If you let children not work, and fail, then the first time there will be a commotion. But if teachers did this consistently, word would get around and it would be accepted. Students whose life goals required passing the test would do the work. But in fact many school subjects are useless to many people and not studying is a rational response to being taught irrelevant nonsense.
But Washington hasn't invaded Ukraine to force it to submit to its domination. In a free world, nations should be free to decide whether they want to be "influenced" by other nations, and to what extent.
How much of this stuff works in b2b and higher ticket services, I wonder?
There won't be a critical mass of dissenters. Modern dictators have figured that if they boil the frog slowly, they'll keep revealing small slivers of latent dissenters and dealing with them is easy. From time to time a dictator needs to announce some ridiculuos law, with the only purpose: to see who is brave enough to dissent.

Show HN: French Republican Calendar based on equinoxes
Both (A) and (B) can simultaneously be true:

(A) "Healthy, home-cooked Food" >> "whatever stove type"

(B) "induction stoves" > "gas stoves"

The entire world, in general, aspires to rapidly move away from hydrocarbons. To me, that consideration alone would justify the inequality in (B) when you can afford the choice. Other considerations are a nice bonus.

We're already seeing this play out with municipal regulations deemphasizing gas stoves in new construction.
Sync is no longer possible in Chromium.
The coils are light enough that you could have them under spring-pressure and lubricated against the wok, so medium tossing height won't affect heat transfer.
It's just a ~1mm thick planar coil out of "Litz wire", covered by a glass plate in a normal stove top.

See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Induktionskochfeld_S... for what's under the plate. The center silver thing is likely a thermostat/temperature sensor. The electronics may need to be a bit less ignorant to handle a flexible coil, but tracking the tank's resonance isn't even a difficult task; a Royer/Baxandall oscillator could probably be made to work.
This isn’t constructive on two levels:

- people with gas stoves need to know the risks to mitigate them. Like paying attention to ventilation, or really ventilate as soon as they put on the stove. All the more so if they don’t have the means or the right to replace their stoves: they’re probably also more vulnerable to health related fees.

- there has been so much advertisement of gas as “fine” that it needs a lot if counterbalance. People are still buying gas stove for new homes for bullshit reasons.

Why is human labor required to make masks at all? You’d think it would be nearly fully automated by now. It looks like some woman sitting at some kind of giant sewing machine.

China probably can produce the masks because they are masters of economies of scale. Sure, there are still sweatshops but anyone who has actually been inside a Chinese factory knows that is selling them short. Most Chinese factories are nearly completely automated and vastly more sophisticated than anything you’ll ever see in the US. They are obsessed with automation and continuously invest back into the business, preferring ways to increase per work output with technology.

I’d compare it to Amazon, which also makes me wonder why hasn’t Amazon gotten into all sorts of manufacturing by now?
"The dose makes the poison."

We should not accept any health claims without quantification. "Objectively bad for your health" is not particularly relevant, even if I accept that at face value. For example, in right-hand-drive countries, making left turns is "objectively worse" for your health than making right turns.
Look at the publication - socialist website. The lack of citations points to this being about leftist authoritarianism to keep people afraid and malleable
That's a fair question, my comment was getting long in the tooth.

So, let's take a commodity like a wool blanket (or some other simple commodity to illustrative purposes). That blanket has more value than the wool that made it, but where did that come from?

When the wool becomes a blanket and gains value, it does so because someone put the labor into converting the wool to a blanket. So the generic function here is commodity + labor = higher value commodity.

This goes all the way down. The wool comes from someone putting in labor to get it from the sheep. And it continues up, the blankets become part of hotels, bedding, other higher value commodities, etc.

More expensive commodities are more expensive because they need more labor to produce.

So a commodity is essentially a crystallization of labor value. It represents a complex chain of labor value multiplying other labor value.

So back to your question. CMC transactions are about using gold to compare labor value crystalized in commodities. I'm selling my blankets to an iron miner, but I don't need iron ore. But with a universal money commodity like gold I can go buy the commodities I do need.

The MCM transaction has you buy my blankets and sell them later for more than you paid me without adding labor. If the value has increased, but no additional labor has been done to it, it's still the same blanket I made. I can also sell my blankets at the higher current price, so what have you done except taken some value from me? Where else does the value come from?
Ah, you're right, thank you! I just reused the words of the parent :D
You are aware that the "excitement" came from a quote from a professor. That wasn't the reporters language? That the reporter included other quotes from people who expressed both annoyance at the presence of the ads and how difficult it was to use.
But masks were commonly worn in public in Asia by people with a cold or flu before covid - they already had a market for masks before the pandemic and manufacturers filling it
Out of curiosity, do you use Cloudflare DNS? Cloudflare doesn't support EDNS IP location (ostensibly for privacy), which Archive.today uses for geolocation-based multicast resolution.

Archive.today's maintainer decided they didn't want to deal with it, so they intentionally return incorrect DNS results to Cloudflare IPs. Cloudflare's CEO has stated they could just detect and override it, but that would be essentially MITMing DNS, which felt like an overreach: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702
Something like the Alveo PCIe card has onboard HBM/DDR4 memory large enough for Tensil DRAM pools, so this would be similar to how GPU operates but could also reach to host memory via PICe if needed. Embedded applications with Zynq 7 and UltraScale+ have ARM processors on the same chip with FPGA and (usually) DDR as separate chips on one PCB. In this case, Tensil DRAM pools are just contiguous memory blocks in the memory shared with the CPU. We will be publishing documentation on the compiler design soon--stay tuned!

There always have been and always will be casinos and bars. The only question is whether they will be allowed to operate openly with proper regulation, or be forced underground and run by criminals.
From what I see, looking at older people who have started companies, the most important aspect is building a strong network. This is useful in three ways:

1. Identifying problems. When you have a large network, you have many opportunities to identify real problems faced by real people. These are great opportunities to start a business.

2. Nepotism. Many close associates in your network will blindly trust and use your product in whatever capacity their position allows if it meets even a small need of theirs. It's sad, but it's true.

3. Referrals. Your network can give refer your company to others outside your network who may be in need of similar solutions. Referrals aren't as easy to sell as a close associate in your network, but the chance to sell is often a great opportunity that wouldn't otherwise be available without a great network.
Yeah maybe he thinks he wants the other 70%. Which is far less likely to be reduced than the 30% that is in large part entirely unnecessary, and only enforced by capitalist masters for productivity gains.
It's doubtful. Snowden's propaganda value is much higher while he's a political refugee and authentic anti-US influencer than a puppet. Coercion would be counter their interests.
Any thoughts / experience on F# with .net?
No - if we see you maskless in an establishment we go somewhere else with sensible customers
The desire to do that is human, sure, but we can build systems to limit its impact.

We could have a negative interest rate, tax wealth rather than income, etc etc. People going to try to hoard, but you can add friction to make that harder.

i really liked the way ROM worked in ruby before i switched away from rails. I never got a chance to give it a good try.
The original French Republican Calendar determined the start of the year with the date of the autumnal equinox at the Paris Observatory. This made the calendar somewhat unpredictable, as it required a lot of astronomy to figure out the start of the year (and thus whether the previous year was a leap year). These days, it's common to see versions floating around with the same leap year rules as the Gregorian calendar instead of the original rules, leading to weird cases like having the wrong leap years compared to what happened historically.

I got nerd-sniped into making a calendar following the original rules and tried to see how far I can push it with modern astronomy, and this is the result.
There's a lot of cross-border transmission capacity, so excess capacity is exported without an issue.
I consider the induction touch controls one of the few places where the touch controls actually make sense. It makes cleaning the entire range trivial. Which given how messy I tend to cook, I have to do a lot.
I feel like you read a judgment in there that I did not write.

For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilt%E2%80%93shame%E2%80%93fe... someone from one type would have a hard time understanding the actions of someone from the other type "why did you do that?".

Even if you manage to intellectually understand the concept, internalizing it is a whole other level, which takes time and lots of contact.

The Middle East culture is different from the Western culture, and knowing this helps understanding.
This looks pretty interesting, and it's also cool to see situations where the hardware manual says you should not do something, while in practice it is okay due to the way the hardware is actually implemented (basically, relying on undocumented guarantees).

It would be nice to see some performance numbers for this as well, since CPUs obviously also have branch predictors and might be able to make branches really cheap if they always take a certain branch, especially in a hot loop, where this kind of optimization is most likely to happen.

I could also imagine that the use of inline assembly for control flow makes the compiler able to do less optimizations due to having less understanding of the control flow (the effect of that is harder to test in a microbenchmark). Maybe it's okay though if it's not volatile inline assembly.

Another way to achieve something similar to this is to use C++ templates to generate multiple versions of your code where you hardcode the branches so they get removed at compile time. Of course, for N branches this requires 2^N versions of your code, so it doesn't scale well to large number of branches, but it might allow you to push a few branches out of your hot loop into a higher level where it gets tested less often.
I’m reminded of the unconfirmed stories of a student who exercised “Gentlemen sitting examinations may request and require Cakes and Ale,” and was given burgers and soft drinks but fined for failing to wear a sword.
