Hard disagree on the tooling costs. VS Enterprise is $250/month per seat. VS Code is way too limited for most .Net projects.

…and that’s if you can even figure out how to manage your VS licensing within the deep abomination that is the MS sign-on and management. Most frustrating experience of my life entire professional life was dealing with O365, Visual Studio, and Azure subscriptions.
Specifically, I think that in the past people who were so MBA-influenced were mostly in finance, and not in charge of designing every minor product feature.

Now that they often are, you get the sense of being nickel-and-dimed every time you use the product. Maybe that's temporarily spiking the share price, but it's a really bad long-term strategy. You really don't want every product to descend into RyanAir pay-toilets-aboard-the-plane territory.
> any comparison to SEALs must be based upon physical prowess

Since items an inherently physical job, it makes sense.

We all agree computers are important. That doesn’t make the comparison less ridiculous.
> XML is just an embedded idiomatic part of the language.

That's kind of weird to say these days; I never ever deal with XML in .NET. I'd go as far to say it's 1000:1 JSON to XML for me.
But KYC generally is not required for cash transactions. Why can't we have anonymous digital transactions, as long as they are size-capped and rate-limited ? How is sending $300 through that kind of CBDC system different from me handing $300 cash to my friend ? Is it that the CBDC just wouldn't have the "friction" that cash does, so any limits are evaded easily ?
It's across all my cookware. Pans, cast iron, the coffee maker, the kettle.

If I put it on full power, then it's a continuous blast of energy and it never clicks off. That's great for boiling water but not much else.

If I put it on 70%, it goes on full power for 7 seconds, then stops for 3, then back on for 7 etc etc.

I really, truly don't understand how any bank in the year 2022 can only give you 1 year of electronic access, but this is actually the case!

This cannot be an uncommon scenario (and yet it's happened to me so many times):
April 1 rolls around, ok time to do taxes, let's start by reviewing my bank transactions for the previous calendar year -- whoops! No data for January - March because those are months 13, 14, and 15.

Total insanity.
Also the noise, and reliability to look at, the one I have and am now getting rid of had a motherboard larger than an e-atx board inside of it. I have no clue why it needs that much circuitry, it does have wifi, but really seems insane.

For me I was sold on the speed and my wife honestly liked the fact that it never burned on food, she also liked the safety aspect of the stovetop never being hot, but none of those really matter if the replacement motherboard dies after 3 months on a $4000 range.
Not using "using" is an error tbh. But I think its wrong to call it memory management tbh, its about disposing anything NOT memory related (ie normal objects) like filestreams, sockets, custom things ...

I've read most of it. It's excellent. You have to pay a lot of attention to get anything out of it, much more than is required for SICP, PAIP, or The Little Schemer. You will spend enough time at it that the monetary outlay will be insignificant...
Whiteboard interviews don’t measure anything. Measuring would mean the company would have objective metrics derived from interviews. The process seems to be intended to filter out people who can’t write code at all (a surprisingly large number of people who call themselves programmers). I think the process mainly exists to give interviewing some veneer of objectivity or science, to head off discrimination lawsuits.

People make hiring decisions based on first impressions and their own biases, but they have to pretend they are following some more objective process.
Precious few “journalists” are journalists in any meaningful sense (I suppose we could say something similar of software “engineers,” but this is a dead horse here)

Call it fake news, propaganda, or the nice PR - but that’s what these “journalists” are. They’re not true journalists but serial killers, wearing the skin of the dying profession.
But why PA-RISC, of all the CPU’s on the market?
This article is, in one respect, quite misleading. It compares gas ranges to a specific induction hob: the Breville Control Freak. This device is not actually complicated per se, but it is a masterpiece of good (or at least decent) UX and control design in a way that makes it almost incomparable to anything else on the market. Cooking with it is a rather different experience than using any normal stove.

There’s actually a large learning curve. With a normal stove of any sort, you set a power level. Different stoves have different degrees of responsiveness, differing levels of UI annoyance (knobs at one end; phone apps at the other), and different abilities to work well at low power, but they do fundamentally the same thing. The Control Freak knob does not control power; it controls _tempererature_. To boil pasta, you set it to 240 (F) or so. To carmelize onions, something like 330 will do it, and the onions won’t burn. Want to keep your stew warm? Set it to 160 and ignore it. If you put someone who hasn’t used one before in front of one, they get rather confused until they get the hang of it. If you out someone used to it in front of a normal stove, they’re disappointed.
I disagree. The definition of what is high and what is low frequency depends on what you are comparing.

If you are comparing electric capacitances of electric circuits vs the thermal capacitance of a macroscopic object, 1 Hz might be a high enough frequency for doing pwm.
You just made me realize that an embedded systems program I just wrote has been using this antipattern, so I need to fix it!

Take any family line. What generation are they at? Shouldn’t all bad parenting be weeded out by now?
This reads like some bad and sloppy PR blurb. You can talk about "playing the system" if you pay the drivers a basic salary, otherwise why the hell would they go to places where there is no money to be made if that's their only way to get money?

Awful company and people working for it that could work elsewhere are awful people.
Quite off-topic. We are talking about the the late 80s/early 90s here.
Nothing, IMO. DI, when used properly, significantly cleans up code bases. It's code bases without DI that often become both untestable and unwieldy.
"Work ethic" = "I don't want my children to be a poor slave like me. I must work my fingers to the bone. I must save my children."

> good luck finding a competent therapist in-network in the Bay Area.

> For example, the max paid for a therapy visit might be $120 while the providers typically charge $160-180/session.

These seem tightly (and unsurprisingly) linked. If you were competent at your job and had a choice to bill $120/hr or $160/hr, which would you choose?

If you weren’t competent, having a steady stream of $120/hr customers pipelined to you would be mighty convenient as well.
Thanks. I got pretty good results with the settings above :-) Are the languages close?
To me it looks like everyone is freeloading off unlisted youtube videos. Can't beat free ;)

Apart from that, ffmpeg can generate all the files you need and nginx can host them, but make sure you have a hosting company with generous traffic allowance. Putting this on S3 is probably a lot more expensive than renting vimeo, which is a dedicated white label video hosting service.
Portraying Uber, with its enormous resources and wealth - not to mention an incredible lobbying and a PR machine, as deployed in news op-eds, and through astroturfing all over social media (though not so much now) - as a struggling victim of circumstance and bad press, and implicitly comparing the company to drivers struggling to make ends meet, is a bit much.

It's up to Uber to solve its problems and deliver, and be responsible in the community. You have all the power and resources.
Hmm, I've been using .NET since beta 1 in 2000. Maybe you had access to earlier bits? It was never just about webapps. In fact, Windows Forms was meant as a more sane MFC if anything.

Interop with native code was always very easy. From PInvoke to managed C++ there were a lot of ways to do it with ease. Things have changed but I still think this is one area where .NET has great support.
> Why? Explain more.

- Why do some packages behave differently depending on whether they were installed from an install or restore command? This shouldn't have any observable difference, sync (restore) should be the only operation that touches the package cache at all.

- Opaque reliance on invisible plugin hooks. Back when I had to use it, it was pretty common to get told "oh, just add this random dependency" to fix whatever weird behaviour NuGet got up to that time. Why or how did it fix it? Nobody really seemed to know.

- Binary package managers suck. They make your supply chain more vulnerable, and they are an additional repository to set up and manage. And they tend to lead to losing the knowledge of how to do a full source rebuild at all.
Native interop in .NET has always been via what they call "P/Invoke". On .NET Core, P/Invoke is cross-platform and you can also call .so/.dylib functions on Linux/MacOS just like you could always call .dll functions on Windows on .NET Framework before we had .NET Core.

I'm curious to know what you needed to do with native libraries. I've been programming with .NET around 20 yrs and find it fairly rare that I need to use P/Invoke... But I'm sure it depends on what you're building.
In this day and age (at least in my country, a Western Democracy) libraries are not being built, rather closed, or converted to some other uses. And the majority of the vast inventories of books that was once the property of said libraries to keep for posterity's sake has literally been burned, as regulations forbade any kind of recirculation, donation, or sale.
I agree, using a world "willing" is overstretch - it's more many of them don't have a choice. Competition is huge, most cannot simply move to live and work abroad. There was a recent movement of chinese millennials giving up the rat race to "lie flat". My chinese friend says 996 is unfortunately normal there and she wish she could live somewhere else without. For me this 996 is just modern type of slavery.

You have 24 hours every day. with 996 you:

- spend 8h sleeping,

- 12h working,

- at least 1h commuting both ways

that leave you only 3h left that you spend probably to eat, take shower, do grovery. Not much space for anything else.

I think I would prefer a prison life in some scandinavian country - at least you get a lot of free time to read all the books on your reading list.
$250 is several hours of most developers pay. If it saves them any amount of time it's incredibly easy to justify.

It's also rare to need what Enterprise has that Professional does not.
Are you sure you don’t have a normal electric stove?
Isn't that the American Dream? Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses and I'll make them work like hell, but their children will have better lives and work less, and their children will be just as lazy as any American! Rinse-Repeat
This comment made me replay 2021 cruella in my head a bit.. the successful female asshole is successful since she does not play fair.. the younger female gets to be an asshole cuz she is poor / parents taken away (?) She then becomes a different asshole caring for only herself and single success, which her long time friends dislike.. then she gets to be a more sinister asshole because she has proof her victims have been more sinister (?)

the female lead was the same as devil wears prada right? so the typecast / emotional prejudice was already embedded..

I can see how this stuff is hard to write, once of the suicide squads tried so hard it should of just made up new characters imho.

but then this particular formula seems so easy to write - main characters get to do really bad things to people cuz those people did really bad things.

I guess this is the main appeal of spiderman type projects - they limit the bad things done to bad people (?)

I put question marks because my study and recollection of these things is of a real interest, but not well versed research / knowledge. I'm sure there is much more.

Frankly I've been disappointed in what movies/media/tv shows / social sharing - all this stuff has been teaching for lessons for a long time, I can't think of much that is done well for non-awful lessons I guess.
Tor, while not a VPN, is more likely to be able to connect out with bridges and pluggable transports like snowflake. Also, it's free.
> They aren't as popular in the US because they're considered commercial appliances and it's assumed you are on a business budget if you want to buy one.

No, there are plenty of consumer models. But they aren't as popular because the US has significantly more abundant, domestically produced, and (largely, because of that and not taking climate seriously) cheaper natural gas, and has only recently started in some localities having residential electric-only rules for new construction.
Upgrading all the preexisting stoves is certainly worse for the environment. And using electricity to generate heat is less efficient.
> The .NET desktop strategy has sucked since Build 2011

only if you need cross platform. WPF is pretty good and WinForms still ain't broken. oh you said strategy .. I think the strategy is wait for something to get popular, maybe something will happen with BlazorWebView
What a country really needs is people (lots of them) with some kind of shared cultural identity and commitment to glue them together. A people is more important than a territory. These folks are focusing on the wrong problem.

Speculative future: there are a number of Hasidic/Haredi enclaves close to New York City, such as Kiryas Joel, Monsey, Kaser, New Square, Lakewood. These communities have very high birth rates, and low attrition rates (upwards of 90% of the community's children are retained in their faith community as adults) – Kiryas Joel's population is only around 30,000 now, but is growing by about 50% a decade. By sometime next century, there could be many millions of ultra-Orthodox Jews living in that area.

It seems plausible this could lead to ethnic conflict – we are already seeing some signs of that, if you look at situations such as the East Ramapo Central School District – which might produce some kind of secessionist movement. There has already been a secession at the level of local government – Kiryas Joel seceding from the town of Monroe to form the new town of Palm Tree, which was supported by the non-Hasidic/Haredi residents too (both non-Jews and mainstream Jews), who were pleased to regain control of their political institutions through the removal of the ultra-Orthodox voting blocs – so, secessions at higher levels of government might one day also be supported by both sides.

Possibly, we'll see further secessions/incorporations at the village/town level, followed by secession of one or more Hasidic/Haredi-majority counties, followed by an attempt by those counties to form their own state, followed at last by the secession of that state from the US. While the idea of a successful secessionist movement from the US may seem implausible now, a century of American decline may make it much more plausible. Maybe, come next century, Israel will no longer be the world's only Jewish state.
A tragedy of the commons requires a commons, a commonly owned resource. Uber is certainly not one.
My experience is the same. It does eventually show you what’s inside, but it’s not faster than just opening the door. I think something like AR would make a better experience.
> What problem is being solved by replacing a clear panel with a tv screen only to have to track inventory using shoddy computer vision?

Ads. They can make you look at an add at eye level on something you need to look at ( because you want to know if there's pizza or whatever there). It's a potentially pretty valuable ad for "super discount on X" or even regular crap.
You can have perfectly normal blood pressure and high cholesterol FWIW

>Ukraine is also about national security

I don't buy that. Russia is already bordered by three NATO countries. One more wouldn't make a difference. And no one is planning on invading Russia due to the world's largest nuke stockpile.

This seems more about Putin's ambitions to restore the Russian empire and be Tsar of all the Russias. He's not the most straightforward fellow in saying what he's really up to. I think this is as much about national security as it is about a special operation to counter neo nazis.
We do not have storage yet just because it is not built out yet.

Thus far, a renewable euro has been just overwhelmingly better used to build out generating capacity, even where intermittent. The only problems in storage are picking which will be cheapest or otherwise most valuable -- e.g. hydrogen, ammonia, and liquid air are entirely the latter -- and that by waiting, you get more for your euro. Storage cost is plummeting much faster even than solar, and solar is already so cheap that building 2x, 3x, 6x overcapacity is in easy reach.

The cheapest, most efficient present storage is pumped hydro, which can be used in very many places where native hydro generation cannot be, i.e. almost anyplace with hills. But iron-air battery factories are under construction, for very cheap and safe storage, and that will compete with many other alternatives. Each has strengths for certain places, all work, and operating cost is in all cases very small, so building "the wrong one" just means you spent more up front than you maybe had to.

Trotting out the "ooh, storage" argument only demonstrates you don't have one.
not many left operating.

still cleaning up mess at ranger (which has impacted on a dual-listed world heritage national park) and rum jungle (there's a class action of the few surviving workers + their families whose cohort have suffered cancers)

notably still operating is olympic dam, where the huge volumes of radioactive tailings literally spill out on the surrounding land, representing an entirely unmanaged environmental hazard.

Typical anti-nuke: pretends they've found contrary evidence, hasn't

Three different people in this thread told me to ignore the physicists, the history, and the real world evidence, and to pretend that what we were waiting on was the half-life of uranium

It's really embarrassing that HN isn't able to reject these things successfully. This is anti-vax level thinking
It is very difficult to get traction here with only a waiting list. People expect to try the product and give a (unrequested) feedback.

Is this "screenshot" video in the middle of the long video https://youtu.be/cZUefCSwplE?t=22 ?

It looks too easy to apply to look realistic. Perhaps that's fine in the middle of a longer video, but I'd like to see more details. On the other side, it looks too easy that someone will apply to all the posted jobs, without checking the requirements. Anyway, I'm too far away of your market that I'm not sure my opinion about how easy it is to apply is helpful.
> whether it has biases that prevent it from reacting as strongly to, just as an example, US propaganda about refugees or armed conflicts that it has initiated.

Wording is a funny thing.
Seems like there are two colossal wastes of energy that need to be fixed.
If the energy you use for heat is generated by gas, it's more efficient to burn it directly, and the emissions produced from manufacturing all the new stoves likely out way the emissions produced over the stoves lifetime.

So, I'd say it's only helpful if you are getting a new stove anyway.
Western Europe has a lot of immigration and the population is actually increasing. Japan has stagnated for about three decades now.

Soviets had no power by design. 'Democratic centralism' and banning all opposition when Lenin was still alive show how meaningful their democracy was.

>It's also the case that leftists simply have a different definition of democracy to liberals.

Their 'definition' of democracy is not a democracy. e.g. the various People's Democratic Republic of X, like say North Korea.
The question you asked is:

> why Tim waits 4 minutes to reply to the "Hello!", but instantly replies to "Hello! <question>". What a selfrighteous jackass.

As far as I can tell, this question only makes sense if you expect him to treat both messages with equal priority, and believe failure to do so makes one a jackass. If you agree that it's reasonable to treat "pings" with lower priority than concrete questions, then it seems pretty easy to imagine why Tim waited 4 minutes to reply to "Hello" but instantly replied to a question.

> Was it alleged that judyrecords had mens rea?

Not as far as I know. That's my point. They did not intend to illegally publish records, which makes it very different from weev's case.
All ecosystems have churn. While .NET has had a fair share of churn, to me it seems in line with any other platform that has not only survived but thrived for this long.
