> People with the right ideas and knowledge can start ventures easier [in Italy than Silicon Valley]

Would you be so kind as to provide a metric, so I can demonstrate conclusively that this isn't true?

I'm basing this on intuition, which is in turn based on numerous Italian software developers I've met in California. Do they have the wrong ideas and knowledge?

Of course not, they went where they could run a business without interference.
Ah, cool, thanks! I'll give that a try...
I'm frequently very impressed with Pycharm's autocomplete suggestions. It is very context sensitive, and frequently seems to guess what I'm trying to do next.
You're going back and forth. On your first post, you talk about all the things Emacs/Vim have that VSCode/Jetbrains can't possibly have. On this one, you talk about how less features is a good thing. Regardless of where you actually stand on that particular point, you're still comparing apples to oranges.

It is also worth noting that I have never had an issue jumping from vim to VSCode (or vice-versa) on the same project. Neither of the two need any extra metadata or configuration. They just work, and I'll choose whichever tool makes sense for whatever I'm doing at the moment. As, frankly, I think everyone should. This fixation over one specific type of tool over another is unnecessary: go with whatever you are most productive with.
I read these kind of blog posts, but honestly, it’s hard to have too much sympathy. This guy presumably earned millions out of working at AirBnB, is staggeringly rich compared to most people, and he could have left at any time for another job.
Holy shit, I was trying to find this series recently, having only a few memories of it. Wild Palms!!
I agree with everything you said except your first sentence :D
Seems a lot of focus on interfaces, but what about knowledge graphs and representation of the underlying data that is supposed to improve the search?
Are you using viper or evil-mode often (or some other thing which gives emacs vi bindings, I think there are a couple)? Because navigating text with emacs gives me the emacs pinky, I'm wondering how folks deal with that. Transposed cpslck with ctrl?
The blockchain network nodes that assure a transaction by rolling the transactions into a block, transactions are an interaction the contract (code), which is executed by the validators.
I mean, assuming you run the server for this app on the same LAN as your CalDAV server, you don't have to directly expose it to the internet.

That said, my Radicale server is exposed to the internet, and I haven't had any issues. The *DAV protocols are mostly just HTTPS requests with Basic Auth.
Technically, it should be no harder than the "delete" button, which has been the de facto "edit" button up until now. The article itself talks about how defining the feature from a product perspective was really the hard part, and I'd say it makes sense to take that at face value. You really do want to be able to see when a text has been edited, there do need to be some limits, etc. and defining those things is not trivial by any means.
Finally an Umbrella Rental Service
Amazing Marvin. All the tools of every to do app out there. With the ability to customize everything. You add and remove only the features you need and use. You can even theme it to look exactly like Wunderlist.

Books are usually hand kerned to avoid large, variable width spaces that are hard to parse. Books have complete control over how the content is formatted and displayed.
If you want you can email me (see Hn profile); I moved from NL to the south so maybe I can help.
> which has database-level implications

I don’t think such a change really matters at a company like Twitter. The problem is more about principle than technicalities.
I don't know, man. I think a criminal record for the moral equivalent of sharing a Netflix login is a bit harsh.
Can you provide some evidence that it doesn’t actually work like this? My UAE based lawyer is certainly convinced that MOHRE enforcement is very strict.
Yes, exactly. And the grant process, albeit through no cure no pay orgs, is quite good.
The "Proving arithmetic equivalences" section has characters that render as irrelevant/unrelated emoji on iOS.
Edit, as a Twitter feature, has been weaponized. It's now a symbol of how Twitter has stagnated and failed to evolve into a more relevant (and potentially profitable) product. Even though it has been in the works for more than a year, once edits are launched many people will credit Elon for "shipping". The Twitter team would do well to launch this ASAP and mark that as a new chapter for Twitter.
But, you as the website operator don’t own that content either? Certainly I have some level of expectation that if I delete something, it may very well actually be gone, right? And further, that Twitter taking steps to do exactly that in places they control is reasonable?
Takes me back to my Uni years (late 90s) were at one point we had do implement a (DOS based) spreadsheet program, all with stack based equation parsing and cell references.

It was a really cool project which allowed me to understand the insides of spreadsheets.

which prediction market platform(s) do you use in order to make a living? As noted previously, the breadth of the topics and bet size caps seem to limit potential payouts.
I wonder if this will finally restart any research into non-Von Neumann architecture even for commercial uses like workstations and servers.
Again, you seem to be making a broader political point that I don't think is appropriate. Moorcock was talking about literature here.

Even if you disagree with contemporary leftist thought, you'd agree that it's worth reading books dealing with the ideas, right? Same principle. Moorcock isn't saying "don't read LotR", he's pointing out that it's a thematically conservative trilogy.
even better if twitter itself has a feature where it shows a tweet's edit history
> We have lists implemented like divs, navs like divs, lack of appropriate attributes, aria labels and few other things.

I see content organized into sequential, distinct blocks of text which include multiple paragraphs— LI elements are block-level and can contain multiple paragraphs. There's no semantic problem here and no accessibility problem. In HTML5, for accessibility purposes, divs should be used for presentation only. They have no semantic meaning. Lists do.

> Articles speaks about optimizing for performance but [...]

Agreed, mostly.

> they will find fonts that will be great among the system fonts

Having sane fallbacks in your font stack is important, but that statement is false and is why developers don't make those decisions. That's fine— it's not your job— but even as a long-time developer I won't tell developers how to do their job if I'm serving in a design role on a project.

I was also as a culinary school trained chef. Many insist salt omitting salt and letting diners salt food themselves yields equivalent results. Obviously, health conditions should be accommodated for, but in most senses, they're provably wrong. We perceive most of "flavor" through our noses. Tongues sense few things but stimulating it focuses our brain on smell. Totally integrated seasoning drastically intensifies the overall flavor of food. Salt is also chemically and mechanically important in many processes, such as searing. I'd say 60% of professional polish in food comes from proper seasoning.

Design details are like seasoning. A famous designer said "the details are the design". Users don't consciously perceive those individual details but they have tremendous impact on a whole. Even people without experience, however could easily understand the difference between a title set in the 'Display' style of a Pro version of a font vs the standard paragraph version. Setting paragraphs type in the display version of a font makes it much less readable. The visual impact of properly tuned kerning pairs alone gives the pro version of a font a ton more polish. Even different versions of Helvetica have drastically different quality. Target, one of the most savvy businesses on the planet, developed their own version of Helvetica at tremendous expense. They didn't do that on a hunch— they had good reason to believe they'd recoup their expenses by doing so.
Reddit seems to be able to do this. They have bots that transcribe the text on image-based memes, and the transcription has always been accurate.
Well, the biggest glaring thing is Clojure.spec. It's quite literally still in alpha (clojure.spec.alpha), and is a core part of Clojure, but everyone uses it in production anyways. (I might be biased here, I have opinions on whether or not clojure.spec should even be part of Clojure)

For example, things like clj-stripe, Matchbox(firebase lib) Onyx(MapReduce lib), and Cortex(ML lib) are all out of date.

One thing I see a lot from companies using Clojure(script) is they fork open source projects, extend them for their needs, and never contribute back.

Clojurescript libraries in particular are extremely bad for this. For example, re-frame-firebase has suffered some serious bit rot lately, the core repo uses firebase sdk 5.7, and hasn't ever really been used in a production setting!

Anyways, not trying to call out these library maintainers because I do understand maintaining libraries is time consuming. I'm trying to call out companies taking from the community and not giving back.
Nobody will credit Elon for that.
The Looming Arm Server Battle Between AWS and Microsoft
Yeah, I lived there in the 90's and visited occasionally after and it was struggling then - they opened up a big outdoor mall with a large movie theater... that failed.

It was much easier to build a fake downtown a few miles out (Santana Row) than gentrify^Wdevelop the real one into something successful. And in the noughts it had a Borders while pretty much all that was left of the mall was office space and a Waldenbooks, IIRC...
This is a great approach
Wow even the cheapest price is super expensive! Is that how much TV costs in the US?
"secures the region" from what and for whom? Assuming there is a single point of view from which this is true, and that you share it with the people living there, doesn't sound like less colonialism to me.
Hmm...thanks, but reading those I don't see any more details. There is some good background information on side chains and bridges but I'm already familiar with the security risks in the typical trusted bridge design.

For clarity: I'm interested in answers to questions such as : how exactly did the attacker gain control of 5 validator private keys? The validators were running a vulnerable version of the Linux kernel, and the private keys were sitting in the filesystem, for example, could be an answer. And: what exactly is the mumble about RPC about? Did they build some sort of master key into the bridge contract, then left that key sitting on a machine with no root password?
Add gig/temp jobs to that, loss of community, anxiety around climate change and social unrest, social network addiction and you call it the beaten generation.
I have four children. I'm not going to claim that sometimes kids are not frustrating. However every time I see parents being burnt out I see one of two scenarios.

Scenario 1: The over-achiever parent

I see this frequently, a parent that wants to be a super parent. This manifests in a bunch of different ways, but usually it's enrolling their kids to 15 different activities essentially running all over the place being glorified taxis for their kids.

Then their kids don't know how to function if there is nothing to do.

Scenario 2: The I'm missing our parent

Parents that either had kids too early, or not by choice. They feel like they missed out, so they lament about all the fun they didn't have. This is a weird form of resistance to reality. What usually happens is that they will get a divorce, to somehow escape their children. I am 40, so I see it with people my age, they divorce, see their kids 2-4 times a week and do crazy stuff to somehow recapture their youth.

In my opinion it's about keeping a good balance. If you never make time for yourself that's a mistake. If you put the bar too high as a parent you are bound to miss. The simplest approach is to carve out some time to yourself, balancing things out with your significant other. Enrolling your kids in 1-2 activities out of school and recognizing that not every single minute of a day needs to be hyper-optimized.
That's how I've learned it around 1995, and that the division between /[s]bin and /usr/[s]bin has the reason that the former are required for system boot, while the latter are mounted via NFS from a central server - why waste local disk space when these would be identical for every system anyway (in a homogenous environment, at least).
While that made a lot of sense to me back then, I've become aware that it might not be absolutely accurate, though.
Is it growth or simply change? There's an implication with "growth" that somehow you've become greater or better in some way. Is that the case, or are you just more focused on being a parent because that's who you have changed into?
In the modern era we still have problems of this sort - higher core counts can cause games to perform worse due to problems like a game suddenly having 96+ threadpool threads competing for small amounts of work, often belonging to the driver. It's still the case that a high core count Ryzen will have worse performance in some games (or problems like microstuttering) that you won't experience on a slower, lower core count Intel chip.
Twitter plans to begin testing the feature with Twitter Blue subscribers in “the coming months,”

That gives me a strong feeling of "if you're paying us, we'll let you rewrite history."
I wrote a general comment in response to this here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30930012
The thread yesterday about Elon getting added to the board was full of people saying that Elon should push to get an "Edit" feature added and then leave. I would be astonished if people aren't already crediting Elon for this.

This is most likely a bug rather than malicious intent or predatory pricing. This type of pricing makes zero sense from a conversions point of view. Don't get me wrong, every telco in North America is an oligopolistic, stagnant, rent-seeking, anti-consumer pile of crap, but I doubt this is intentional.

What difference does it make. They are still happily booking their reservations for organ transplants from their fellow Chinese citizens. The whole transplants from prisoners are stopped in 2015 news must be pure BS as apparently these transplants can be 'booked' for a specific week or date unlike most nations where you have to go on a waitlist for someone to die accidentally. People from different nations go there for these transplants as part 'medical tourism' apparently. A truly evil government and people (who seem okay with the whole thing).
To me I think it's the opposite -- the fact that Neuromancer's technology isn't just a version of what we have makes is what makes it timeless. Kind of how Star Wars tech from 1977 seems less dated than in most SF movies because it wasn't based on real tech. Snow Crash is so obviously just 1992 technology with a coat of paint -- Stephenson obviously played MUDs and that's all his virtual world is -- a MUD. And so it hasn't aged well as MUDs weren't the future.

There are still some games like this! Admittedly fewer and fewer, but I've been enjoying Squad for example — a tactical FPS that encourages teamwork. Lots of great public servers with good communities.

In regards to startup time, isn't Julia an order of magnitude slower than everything, even Ruby? Why would anyone want this?
shower thought: could we improve things if we set up new rules for media so that we more clearly demarcate "descriptions of what happened" from "opinions and interpretations" and "projections and speculation"?

I intentionally didn't call "descriptions of what happened" as "facts", because that would sidetrack the discussion on how to determine what's true or not etc. Just force media to clearly separate "here's what our reporters saw" from "here's what they think it means"
"All models are wrong. Some models are useful."
Not really, since corrupting the page cache is (in many cases) equivalent to corrupting the data on disk. You could try to enforce RWX on page cache pages, but then the cache manager would have to flip the W flag really frequently and that could reduce performance (TLB invalidation, etc)

Apple had to do custom stuff in various parts of their stack to make it cheap to flip the W and X flags since they wanted to do it frequently.
For the vast vast majority of people (or as we call them in cases of cyber-harassment, "the mob"), it will be gone from the Internet.

Considering the massive amount of unnecessary and unjustifiable trouble that so many people have experienced over the years with systemd and PulseAudio, it's no wonder people would distrust everything coming from the developers and proponents responsible for such software.
It's hilarious how most people in that thread are jumping on the hate train and taking the post at face value, despite not a single person confirming they can reproduce it. Surely there's somebody with an at&t account that's reading this thread that could take 60 seconds to check themselves?

A soft edit would be good for this. You can edit 3 times, but revisions are kept.
For this use-case, PackageCompiler (for dependencies) + Revise (for your code) fixes that.
As with every tool you should of course have the knowledge to do things properly without the tool, but not using a good tool is like saying we should use old style shovels instead of a modern excavator because the excavator shields us from understanding the back breaking process of the shovel. Now it is true that we programmers could need a good workout but doing things more infectively because of some immeasurable consideration of what is "harmful" is probably the reason we are still stuck in the 70s of tooling in many languages.

However what I do think is important is that every project should not actively discriminate against any of the alternative tools, in every project I manage I encourage every programmer to use the editor/IDE, shell or operating system they are most conformable with (but they need of course to manage their environment themselves and deliver the code in time).

I just can't think why you might have trouble convincing people to try it :p

But you yourself bought up convenience in your original comment. If your argument is a purely moral one then no need to specify how little fiddling is required to get LSP working. But I do think if your only argument is yelling at people about it being immoral to use VSCode you ain't going to get far. Why not talk about the cool things Emacs has while acknowledging the things it still has that could be improved?

VSCode is open source by the way, MIT not GPL but you can go compile it yourself (or use VSCodium).
