Of course I have. And of course I recognize that writing good docs is difficult.

I am not talking about the difficulty of writing high-quality explanatory prose. I'm talking about expanding what people consider standard practice, to include a bullet-point description of how the files in the project are laid out. You don't need to be a good writer in order to do this.

That said, just because something is hard doesn't mean it's not a skill that can be learned. Not everyone has the same attitude for writing (much like programming), but generally I believe that "most people can be taught most things to a basic level of competence", and I do not think documentation writing is exempt from that principle. There is no reason why the skill of writing halfway-decent documentation should not be taught in programming courses.

https://www.economist.com/interactive/2021/12/18/quadratic-v...

I don't think that quadratic voting is relevant for the case of "Many people need to answer a few shared questions" as it happens it elections. I believe it is for the case "one person needs to answer many questions" as it happens in polling.

Of course it can be used in elections as a sort of preference voting, but its effect is to punish extreme opinions (you might be extremely opposed to Statement A but might also want to keep some credits to express your milder opinion about B, C, and D.

(of course this also opens more venues for manipulating polling by adding duplicated similar questions...)

> Memory safety is certainly a topic worth talking about, but on HN it always ends with the same conclusion: use rust. Is that really the only solution?

No. Of course not. It appears to be the most common solution and community matters, so I suspect it will end up being a dominant solution. But you can (mostly) solve this problem with completely orthogonal approaches. Getting all of your code to run on x86 with MTE enabled is another approach that prevents entire classes of problems.

I'm not a member of the Rust community. My actual work focuses more on the Log4j-style stuff than buffer overruns. But I really don't know what people who are upset about the state of memory safety can do to prevent the "ugh, here come the rust nerds" complaints other than simply never raising the problem - which obviously isn't the right approach.

10 years ago the C and C++ community complained about a different thing whenever memory safety came up. "UGH, stop talking about GCed languages. GC advocates are such aggressive recruiters." Now the complaints have just reoriented themselves.

I think it's misleading to claim that this came about due to "infighting".

It came about due to https://www.debian.org/vote/2021/vote_002 leading to DDs fearing being individually targeted due to how they did or did not vote. On technical matters, I support the idea that voters' reputations be affected by their voting record. On matters like this vote (please read it!), not so much. Maybe it's OK for the voting record to be public, but any individual harassment that might follow would be out of order and is a good reason to make such votes private.

You are overthinking this by a wide margin. UberCab was being used with the same meaning of “Ubercool”.

And you are factually wrong: UberCab was created without Travis Kalanick, by Garrett Camp. Travis invested in UberCab 6 months later or so, and he became CEO as part of the deal.

Do your research please.
"If the file is malformed, there is almost certainly an infinite number of possible edits to make the file adhere to the grammar, hence there can not be any algorithm that just provides the one and only correct syntax tree. This in turn means that you have to come up with heuristics that identify reasonable changes which fix the file and that is probably not easy."

Don't we call such heuristics "test suites"?
The idea as I’ve heard it is that with quadratic costs, you’ll end up with people voting in proportion to how much they care. If you care 3x as much as I do, you’ll spend 3x as many votes on it.
You might find the research about sensory processing sensitivity interesting.

"Theory and research suggest that sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), found in roughly 20% of humans and over 100 other species, is a trait associated with greater sensitivity and responsiveness to the environment and to social stimuli. Self-report studies have shown that high-SPS individuals are strongly affected by others' moods, but no previous study has examined neural systems engaged in response to others' emotions."

Are you kidding me? Crumble overnight? Have you not heard of the massive data breaches from the credit reporting industry? They got a minor slap on the wrist and everything is continuing as though it never happened.

I don't understand how people can have such naive views in this day and age. Google is FAR MORE important today than a credit reporting company. They wouldn't go anywhere.

Hum, reading that material, and seeing it also discussed on the HN frontpage, seemt to imply there was a an interest. From the public. Like, a public interest.

People seem awfully quick to say "zoom did the right thing here" or "what did you expect?" But these timelines look like people kept it quite for long enough that "oh they'll get around to disclosing it in due time" doesn't cut it. So yeah, "zoom was in their right to fire someone for raising legitimate concerns, bEcAuSe Of ThEiR BoToMlInE" is a stance you can take. But it also means putting corporate interest over public interest once more. Great...

Edit: don't get me wrong I'm not surprised companies would react like that. But "what did you expect" implies that the person would better not have done that, or doesn't have the moral high ground here when they say that the termination, lawful or not, was a dick move.

Eclipse immediately tells you what is broken when you change an api. IntelliJ does not.

You can't stop IntelliJ from saving work. I like to kick of a build, and work on some new stuff while it's going on without saving until the build completes. That workflow is impossible in IntelliJ.
You have to down tools, for a long build with lots of tests that can make IntelliJ slower over all. IntelliJ generally more responsive for most work, but that's because it's not using Java's type system to find errors as you work, errors are deferred, which often means they take longer over all to fix.

I have an ex-friend who could not shed the habit of "adversarial learning" which is related to this. Instead of trying to learn a subject by reading and experimenting and maybe asking somebody who actually knew it, he'd basically force people to educate him by correcting his misconceptions. The first gambit was usually "I could do this better" followed by a series of "you could just (ridiculous idea)" and cross-examination on details, until he felt satisfied.

That kind of disrespect, goading or manipulating people into providing information they would gladly have given in a less adversarial way, and never showing an ounce of gratitude, is a good way to lose friends. Not just me, and not just him, BTW. It's a pretty common behavior among the technically inclined, especially online. "If you want a right answer from the internet, post a wrong one." It's kind of funny when it's an accident, but when it becomes a constant deliberate habit it degrades the space for everyone.
What a bizarre voting system, it values diversity of vote credits which incentives people to organize their voting strategies. Multiple people with overlapping concerns want to coordinate their credit spending. People with extra credits and no desirable issue to spend them on want to trade with others in similar situations. Seems like a great way to bias voting against smaller disorganized causes, unfairly suppressing minority representation in the vote counts.
Most of those products are sold outside the state, so that leads to the problem of making the California water system capable of indirectly supporting large segments of the national and global population. It isn't clear that is what people really want nor that such a system would even be possible.
I replied to your other post but I’d also like to say: there is too much of a focus IMO on getting in to the “good” schools right out of HS. I remember a genius physics grad TA I had who went from community college to the UIUC graduate physics program. Undergrad education is pretty similar across the board; after all, the infamous US news rankings refer to the graduate programs (which can have ramifications for the quality of undergrad of course).

Anyways my point is that I think smart and capable people with hard work and persistence can end up at similar places when all is said and done even if they don’t start out at a “top” program.

You US definitely has space based ELINT satellites and has been using them for a very long time. TRUMPET the ELINT satellite used in the 1990s has been declassified. I have no access to classified information but the US has been fighting a Global War of Terror (2003-2022+), in such a fight one would imagine rapidly geolocating satellite phones and mobile phone would be high on the wish list of US capabilities.

My generic answer (not being the guy who replied to you) is to look at probabilities. AFAIK in most places theft from homes is opportunistic. Garage doors left open, for example, is extremely common. Thieves just drive around looking for them, it's such a reliable occurrence. Other times, they just try the door and walk in if it's unlocked and they think nobody is home.

I.e. automating your door locks may very well increase your actual security rather than reduce it, if it causes your doors to be locked more often than you'd remember otherwise.
I do not know all the politics of this, but reducing transparency is never a good sign. I love Debian for their openness.

Not necessarily. I live in a suburb where most people drive cars every day for most things. I can still walk a few hundred feet to the bus stop at the end of my street, hop on the train, ride to one of the biggest and busiest airports in the US, and fly anywhere around the world. Or I can hop on a cheap bus and ride to the nearby cities for ~$30-40 for a last-minute ticket, $1 if I'm planning well enough in advance.
It’s not, GP seems to have a Debian axe to grind. The secret voting came from the Stallman vote issue, not from infighting. People wanted a way to vote non-publically in certain circumstances, but the constitution did not allow for this.
For backend frameworks, I'd look at Quarkus [1] or Micronaut [2]. Both are geared towards configuration, async processing and native compilation, along with a ton of options to integrate with external systems.

> (But it does seem surprising that they didn't just show a option dialogue on the next load of a Workspace app and ask the user to choose.)

That seems like the obvious compromise here, if you are going to make it more granular at least prompt the admins to make a choice.

If it is a legitimately valuable feature to users then explain it to them why it is.

Nothing wrong with reminding them at a later date either when new things get released but they aren't seeing it because of an option they previously selected (without being annoying of course).
Nobody affected by those breaches willingly worked with the credit reporting industry. Everyone with a Workspace subscription willingly works with it and moving all the stuff Google Workspace offers off to Office 365 can be done relatively quickly by downloading all drive data, syncing user email, contacts, and caldav, and exporting Sheets/Gdocs as their Office file format counterparts.

To do that we need a lot of energy.

How do we produce most of the energy at the moment ?

(In before "we just need to cover the Sahara with solar panels and we'll be good").

To reduce CO2 emission, we have a way simpler path: just reduce our energy consumption. This should be 90% of the effort. All the other techniques in the articles might be interesting but are just "good to add" on top of the rest.
And then you're free to sell your property and move somewhere more suitable to your preferences (should you be able to afford to do so). If you're in a neighbourhood that has increasing density it's worth more thanks to infrastructure investment and new opportunities.

Buying a house doesn't grant you permanent rights to freeze the entire block for all time, otherwise why do property deeds have boundaries? The north american housing crises is almost entirely the result of many decades of terrible zoning laws, but we've let it fester so long it's going to take a lot more than just zoning fixes to get out of it.

Real estate in most areas is one of the least free markets you can participate in and I'd love to see neighbour-power reduced to almost nothing so that cities can grow organically again. If people really want single family homes that's fine, but the full and true cost needs to be priced into that purchase. Current zoning laws have productive urban areas massively subsidizing unproductive suburban ones.

I live in a single family home near a downtown. My street should be way more dense than it is and I look forward to that happening. If the neighbourhood character ever changes enough to the point I don't like living here anymore I'll sell and move somewhere else. I own my property, but that shouldn't give me any real sway over what is on the adjoining lot.
