It could be the same trend as in fashion: a huge chunk of the population cares way less about social signaling and extra character, especially when it comes with more maintenance cost and no more functionality.

This is an article that I find sums well the issues, even as the author is I think more aligned with your views and wished for more “Architecture” as Art.

Most of what I saw of him feels cold and failed. That said the "cite radieuse", when inside, felt cozy, original and well built (from walls, orientation thus lighting, heating). People living there said they were very pleased.
Do you think the invasion and annexation of Crimea, had anything to do with the coup (ahem...pro-US/NATO revolution) that had just occurred in Ukraine[1]?

Keep in mind Putin rolled his tanks into Crimea the day after the new pro-US/NATO regime in Ukraine had thrown out the democratically elected (albeit pro-Russia) government, and rewritten the Ukrainian Constitution[2] to then make it possible to drop neutrality[3] so that they could begin the process of joining NATO. A rule to join NATO is that a nation must be in control of its borders and not in active conflict, so by annexing Crimea, Russia ensured the moves to join NATO would be halted with that action.

Or is that timing coincidental? Remember, you don't have to agree with a reason to at least understand what the reason is.

Terrible. But I felt terrible about Guantanamo Bay too. Still open by the way.
Now we’re talking. The best way to sell it will be to call it a tax reduction and start by reducing the tax burden on people with a net worth less than $1B, adjusted for inflation. Then fund the entire program to align incentives by implementing a CO2 tax on those with a net worth of > $1B, inflation adjusted, with no loopholes for deductions. Do that and outlaw lobbying and it would have a chance at working.
The first time I stumbled upon HN I then couldn't return for years - the idea of how much cool stuff (I necessarily want to learn) is on every page here would give me panic. I preferred to pretend I never seen this and kill the thought every time HN would pop up in my mind because I would have no time to sleep, eat, work or whatever otherwise. It took me some years and I learnt to manage with this obsession but it pretty much explains why would I need systematized notes - I obviously couldn't just remember everything.

I'm investigating v86 [1] (x86-compatible CPU and hardware emulator in JS) to get a c compiler in the browser. There's an example with a 5.5 mb Build Root Linux example [2] where you can pass files and commands between the browser and vm. The vm boots within a few seconds in Firefox on my Pixel 2 XL. There's also an example where Lua code is passed from the host, but you have to download the GitHub repo to see it [3]

It likely isn't suited for compiling big c programs, but I think one can get far with preparing a few shared libraries and Tiny C Compiler or similar.

I think the author is being overly pessimistic about Mac software. I did not find anything utterly "eye-rolling" from his article, besides a few nitpicks that are reasonable from someone accustomed to linux/window.
Nowadays you can get virtually unlimited 90-day certs from ZeroSSL if you use ACME through the EAB feature rather than using their API.

But their ACME support seems half-hearted at best. The endpoints often return errors for no reason, compatibility with clients is hit-and-miss, and they keep spamming you with renewal notices even if you renew the cert. For important domains these days I just get a cheap 1-year DV cert like the good ol' days.

Also, if the US government had nothing to do with the Russia/Ukraine tiff, then why did Crimea happen while Biden was VP, then nothing while Trump was President, then back on again after Biden becomes President. Is that also unrelated?

For me an important insight of hexagonal architecture is to treat the database as either an implementation detail or a first class citizen. If you need a reliable store of data to provide your application, it doesn't matter externally how it looks. If you need to run crystal reports or support OLAP, you had better treat it as a consumer with its own stories and functional tests. Of course there can be public and private parts of the database, treated differently.

I wonder if any of the UI sugar the author misses is not there because of patents. Like, does MS have a patent on window snapping who won’t license to Apple, but let’s small companies slide? I think the GPL is why Apple ships with such outdated BASH and switched to ZSH for the default shell.
Inflation is eating the elderly, and those living without an expandable paycheck.

IMHO, today's inflation seems inevitable based on recent very loose monetary policy. Blaming it on Putin is ludicrous.

It's also noteworthy that inflation is perhaps the most attractive way (politically) for the growing debt to be marginalized. The other tools (tax raises and spending cuts) tend to bring sharper reactions at the ballot box.
Notre Dame du Haut looks nice, but it's also the worst looking religious building I've seen in France aside from a few other "modern churches".

What is odd is that when I was younger I would get headaches from time to time which seemed normal. The worst I had could probably be called a migraine, I could not move my head or body without the pain surging in my head. Happened only once when I was very young. As I got older, into my 20's, I stopped getting them. At this point I can not remember the last time I had a headache.
1) You save a metric boatload of money this way

3) Incentives work for people, and resume-driven development is key, as our industry is very stingy in passing the savings from 1) to the developers
Can Gemini be served over IPFS?
methodology of introducing a lot of noise and irrelevant numbers to hide information, would be good at politics

more practical methodology: The cash-only person who lives in the forest (finally got treated for his paranoia) wants to convert his money to electric, and maybe wants to trade that money.

What is the costs along the way of (assuming he has an ID) getting any financial accounts required in the way of acquiring the desired digital money or asset, And then what is involved in a second transaction, once already involved in the system

e.g., for Spaceship in Australia, step 1 would be to open a debit account, step 2 would be to deposit that cash into that account, step 3 would be to send that money to Spaceship

The account, deposit, etc, have no fee / only a monthly fee, spaceship has its own fee, add those together, thats the overhead of the initial transaction
The problem at least in parts of Europe is that trains are not always competitive in terms of pricing, especially when it comes to fast connections. Airplane tickets are sometimes just stupidly cheap.

Also, in Germany trains are very often late or have other issues.

Nevertheless, I agree that it's more relaxed to go by train most of the time (unless it's super crowded) and I'll sometimes pay extra for that comfort.

There is only one (big) problem: Germany didn't start building some of the essentials train tracks between Austria and Scandinavia, France, Belgium and the Netherlands yet. They are going to be delayed at least 10-20 years, not finished before 2040 or 2050.

Thanks to the strong German car and truck industry, politicians are still delaying rail track constructions. Germany's strategy for the last 25 years was to move a lot of transit and also passenger traffic from the rail to the road (car industry again). Now they have mostly traffic jams and not a lot of working train infrastructure left.
“It should be easy for the office to provide a vastly superior working environment to the home, because it is designed and equipped with work in mind. “

It should be, but most companies offer uncomfortable furniture in an open, noisy room with drab carpet and the stench of burnt coffee and burnt popcorn.

“Few people can afford the space for a well-designed, well-specified home office. Many are reduced to perching on a bed or coffee table. “

Maybe this is true in Silicon Valley, but the rest of the world could easily outfit a corner of a room to a better standard than most corporate offices.
Easy or not, it's a job. Configuring, patching, upgrading, troubleshooting, securing, monitoring. It's only not expensive if your time is worth nothing.

Y'all are always recommending "if you stick to tech stack a, b, and c , then you can always have good work," but a year or two later you'll recommend learning or expertise in "x, y, and c." You're the first person I've seen recommend a vague, general-ish skillset.
I also don’t like the disrespect Occupy often gets. Yes they didn’t have ready made solution but neither does Wall Street. The bailouts in 2008 and generally the rising inequality show that Wall Street is perfectly fine with making the lives of a lot of people worse as long as they can make money for themselves. To me the nihilists are the ruling class that only cares about them self and nothing else.
I for one am interested in the results, not the purity of motivation.

If China in turn does something to further the release of Gitmo detainees, all the better.

Ah, I did not realise it was from Le Corbusier that the brutalist's obsession with flat roofs came from.

There is no greater symbol of the absolute anti human idiocy of the movement than:
A) constructing a flat roof building on the west coast of Scotland (200+ rain days a year)
B) declare it a master piece

Interesting article. You're right, I guess, I prefer architecture as (classical) art. My preferred architecture is largely anything Art-Deco or earlier, and most buildings (not necessarily houses) built in the late 80s-90s (oddly, specific, I know). The brutalist stuff in London (the South Bank, the Barbican, QEII centre, and so on), I'd pull down in an instant if I were in charge (which is probably a good reason for me not to be in charge of anything tbh).
> It’s a great way for a huge team of programmers to write a massive amount of code that doesn’t do very much

Yea. I often hear the excuse "it's for many lines of code written by large teams" but what's often ignored is that all this code is not doing much actually.

Data Oriented Design is a breath of fresh air.
People get upset by these “whataboutism” posts but they’re perfectly legitimate points to make. It’s good to interrogate the media that we consume and to consider the conditions that would lead to an article like this being produced and published.

Side note, there’s been a flood of anti-China content on this website lately, it’s odd.

Withings wins that particular narrow field handily, their watches do about four things: notify, tell time, track steps, and heart rate.

But they have real hands, and the 'smart' part is subtle enough that most people just see a watch, a couple weeks battery is realistic as well.

Pebble hit a sweet spot in terms of how much you can do with it, while being good looking with a hardy battery. If we limit the comparison to the last two of those things, Withings is in the lead, not to mention still actively sold and supported.
You're right it's not greed itself, but the scale of its target that has grown. One person losing their job to corporate greed is a tragedy, and 10000 people losing their jobs is a statistic.
I'm glad you mentioned. Those satellite images are jokes to most Chinese people. In fact, the western media's coverage of Xinjiang has demonstrated your hypocrisy to those of us who didn't know it before. After this, I think it's safe to say that western mainstream media has lost its credibility in China. Some of us (not me) don't even believe Bucha massacre, just because we heard it from your mouths.

Just for your consideration, I'm a pretty liberal person and I don't like my government more than you do. And I have plans to immigrate to EU in near future.
Maybe Putin knew Trump was in his back pocket and didn’t need to rock the boat.

Since when does it take a pro-Western stance to condemn a war, terrible atrocities and genocides? What, non-Westerners lack a moral compass or compassion?
> The rolling resistance of steel wheels on steel rails is much, much lower than rubber tyres on an asphalt road.

Exactly, and you need rolling resistance for traction. The heavier the load, the lower resistance you need, and vice versa, because the weight of the load increases resistance. Which is why you don't ship hay on trains, and don't ship iron on trucks.
I don't recall any US prison in the last 70+ years where people on the order of a million people, largely from a single region or ethnicity, were imprisoned on suspicion of mere affiliation. Every country probably has a signature few cases of prosecution that may provoke our indignation. That's not the same as putting people into prison because their religious beliefs make them enemies of the state.

Do you think the camps in Xinjiang are as bad, or worse than Guantanamo?

I think they are worse because:

1) You are put there for your ethnicity and religion, (no suspected crimes are needed for detainment), despite being a Chinese citizen.

2) Freedom of press in the US means we found out bad things were happening in Guantanamo, and the prison has since been mostly wound down.

I think Guantanamo is good example of why the US's interest in Xinjiang is not disingenuous. We felt the same about Guantanamo as we do about Xinjiang: it's bad.
We came to the same conclusion.

We do hosing for commercial HVAC systems and due to software requirements and the human factor of training the VM's we had in azure cost us significantly more than on premises servers. Add to that we generally keep those servers a little longer than some others would just increases the savings. This is still true even though we pay a colocation to host those servers.

The cloud flexibility is completely irrelevant for us in light of multi year service contracts from each customer we work with.

The app store wasn't immediately garbage, though. Apps on smart phones started off being inventive or at least interesting. It was when the gold rushers came in after seeing success that the system became increasingly filled with things designed not to help you the user, but to extract maximum profit from you as a customer.

I moved from windows to Mac when I switched jobs a few months ago. The biggest thing I miss is the ability to have a separate Taskbar entry for each window of a program. I have many windows of the same IDE open at once and I'd like to be able to switch between them quickly. Is something like this possible in Mac, maybe through a FOSS app?

I agree very much that DDD is an extension of OOP in many ways, but very much disagree that DDD (or OOP) is synonymous with "lots of code". OOP (like any principle) is easy to misuse/abuse when doing it for the sake of it, and so personally I'd discourage OOP (and by extension, DDD) for anyone who isn't confident that it fits their model of thinking, nor if they're unaware of the pros and cons... but good OOP (what little of it exists) is very powerful as a way to translate business logic into code. Most non-technical people do not talk about data, and do not think about programs as data transformation, they think about their domain, and they are best served by code that represents their understanding of the business, not some developers decision about how their business is best represented using data.

Essentially, I'd describe DDD as high risk, high reward, and so for most businesses, it's not the right decision. However, if you have a talented and experienced team that deeply understand both the business and programming, then DDD is a great opportunity.
We had many a tense discussion/argument prior to the war, last year. He believed Russia was right to take Crimea. I, for obviously reasons, disagree. As it became clearer that Russia was preparing to invade, he brought it up a few times. I honestly didn’t want to talk about it with him. Too stressful, I’d rather focus on my work than on his family members killing my extended family.
Didn't they each get a trial by their peers at state expense? Can you say the same about uighurs in indefinite detention?
I think you misunderstood my point which was that @somewhereoutth was insisting on evidence of starvation. I was noting that it was too early to see the most obvious effect, namely death.

You may have misunderstood which side I was on because I started my post by saying I appreciated their insistence on evidence. I was just trying to be civil and assume positive intent.
For the tech, I am really excited about VR and brain computer interfaces. Just made an arduino weather station last night with my son and on the weekend made a VR room builder for webxr. I go in cycles though, maybe you are in a down cycle?

Russia is not the Soviet Union, and it's no longer the 1940's. If the Russians lose a significant amount of tanks and troops, the country will face serious issues in Ukraine.

Not to mention they are incapable of currently replacing the tanks, and even if they could they only make about 100 hundred a year. Most of the tanks they have where built during the Soviet Union era and where just progressively upgraded.

Finland ceded territory because they where losing the war, Ukraine does not at least yet seem to be losing the war.
From what I know about the graphics industry, it's not necessarily about losing your IP, it's about exposing your IP for litigation. There are some big patent trolls out there as well as some very well known names who will exercise their legal department, so the natural thing companies tend to do is to keep things closed. Things will become more interesting as more open source SoCs appear...

We recently had a discussion on good-faith communication here on HN.

In my opinion, it's perfectly OK for commenters to compare issues in Russia or China with issues in Europe or the US. And I can also relate that people in the US have a stronger opinion on fixing US issues than on fixing issues in China. If someone writes: "Let's fix discrimination close to where I live first!", that is not necessarily a bad thing or trying to distract or whataboutism. They are merely using this related topic to point out their own priorities.

I believe we should give them the benefit of doubt, especially if they mention real issues, and not just made up stuff. And in my opinion, faith-, color- or gender-based discrimination can sadly still be an issue in the west, too.

Also there's the issue of reciprocity: We wouldn't want China to intervene in the US. That makes it fair to ask why the US should be allowed to intervene in China / Russia. "We're the good guys" tends to be a lot more messy in practice.
The appearance of "smartphones" and Facebook killed the cool for me. That, and hearing tech-illiterate morons extol web 2.0 with tireless aplomb. It was sometime in 2008.
It's an age thing - the dreams you had when you were younger didn't turn into reality - dreams usually don't. Or at least, not as you expect it.

Tech is still really cool, compared to decades ago. But we have so much of it and it is everywhere, that we re-calibrate and think that all this amazing, cool tech is boring. You can get a 3D printer for a few hundred bucks, build it yourself, build a better 3d printer, get some awesome tech for a hundred bucks or so, and then build a really cool robot. It's the tinkerer's dream right now. But because it is everywhere, we think it is boring.

It isn't! I'm Gen X and, if you let yourself, you can get re-engaged. We're the ultimate generation of apathy, so if I can do it, you can do it ;) Make sure some lifestyle choice isn't messing with your curiosity and excitement, though. Bad sleep, missing exercise, doom scrolling, too much booze or other recreational drugs, all that can suck the joy out of life and tech.

In the early 2000s, right after the Dot Com Bubble burst, I had a tech friend tell me, "I think all the great stuff has been invented, it's all boring now." That was in the web 1.0 days, before the web as we know it now existed. Before rockets that land on their end, before smartphones, before Deep Learning, before all this amazing stuff that exists now.

Oh, and you've just gone through a couple of churns of software ecosystem, it can seem same-y, but it is actually great in the long run. New situations mean old ideas that were discarded can become valuable, which can be odd. The complexity sucks, but ... shrug.
