Well, I'd say they won't fully be abstracted away because devs will still have to pay for scalable systems (hw + sw) with dollars.

Granted, they won't have to think about designing a solution, but they still won't have the computational power which can be afforded by larger companies (and cloud computing is ridiculously expensive), unless they have a lot of money .
> That’s not deprecation. That’s breaking the method.

It's both. You can even break a feature and deprecate it for that reason. Deprecation comes down to communication.

> deprecation means that functionality is not materially altered from how it was before the deprecation.

No it doesn't. Maybe you really want it to, but it doesn't.

> This notice is not a deprecation, because the service was already deprecated.

That's not how that works... you can deprecate something and deprecate it again. Each notice is the deprecation if you don't realize this I don't know what you're still going on about...

>Just wanted to share that the US military spends a whole lot of effort on trying to understand group and leadership dynamics.

Yeah now that I think of it in hindsight I'd imagine most armed forces have this in one way or another, after all functioning as a group and solving different tasks in unison is pretty basic/mandatory for a successful unit.

>They spend a lot of effort on figuring out the best ways to make that work, even if they fail at it a lot as well.

They (armed forces around the world) must be doing something right. I don't know if it's the x years of coherent training and purpose or some forced epiphany, but anecdotally speaking I usually find people with military backgrounds -- even if only 10 months of conscription service -- to be generally more adept at overcoming hardships and have a generally more pragmatic stance toward life, as opposed to many young adults that haven't done any such training and live with a sense of loss, inability to cope with certain things (e.g. boredom) and are generally 'later' or missing out on personal development. Most people I've talked about their military service with have said it was both their worst and best time of their life simultaneously. Of course, YMMV and I'm not taking into account extremes on either side. Just makes me wonder if maybe we should have some kind of mandatory self-exploration journey after school that would benefit people.

Disclaimer: Non-physicist here too.

About motion without time: it depends on the definition of distance. Some physicists are proposing that space is an emergent feature and particles are closer (in the space we perceive) if they are more entangled. If particles A and B are entangled but then B gets entangled with C and says goodbye to A, we would see B moving from A to C. We would also perceive time because of that change, but there is no time at all.

It still has a very similar feel to Ruby. A lot of the standard library is a very close match to Ruby. And the metaprogramming bits are possible to simulate with macros.

I find this discussion often go into the weird "it's static Ruby" / "not almost nothing like Ruby" extremes. I'd go with looks - same, feel - very familiar, inner workings - you can find ways around differences.

Agreed. It's kinda old and warty.

None of the stuff you mention affects me personally, but it's the Pareto principle: we all only want or need 20% of the functionality, but a different functionality... so in the end, the pool of all users need 80% of the functionality. The other 20% or so is either there to support that 80% or it is something that is absolutely essential for a tiny number of people.

Which is what leads to OSes like Linux, which are huge and vastly complicated, but every obscure function that 80% of us will never use is crucial to someone somewhere... because Linux is a desktop and a laptop and a server and a router and a hypervisor, etc.

Tens of thousands of organisations agree on the usefulness of Linux, so it gets a lot of investment and R&D and development.

Only 1 company owns Thunderbird and it thinks that it's not important, so it gets very little: just a bit of bugfixing and maintenance. :-(

While actually, it is in its way a jewel of vital functionality that really should be celebrated and polished.

I'd love to work out what it _needs_ to get more airtime and investment.

For my part, I believe that large scale partisan cherry picking of facts is a terrible thing for free speech and democracy.

Any adult should have learnt that starting with a kernel of truth, or flooding the debate with accusations and demands, are effective methods to mislead and deceive people. It is a proven method for suppressing facts. It lacks integrity, and serves the goals of the corrupt.

It is strange to me that people perfectly aligned to the attack lines of corrupt politicians (in your case, the Republican flavour) bother pretending even to themselves that it is the corruption that really bothers them.
Which means you may be able to see a correlated acceleration in usage.

They could be a great application for niches, though. Prototyping 3d games or movies can be helped greatly by such techniques.

If you can take a photo (effort required: seconds) and turn it into a textures low- to mid-poly model within seconds, that's a huge time saver right there.

Combined with other techniques [1], [2] this could indeed present a viable business model - again for certain niches. It's the same old routine: identify potential, present solution, profit (if only for a limited time). On its own this might not look too useful/impressive, but I'm certain there's people out there who could already benefit greatly from this work.

It's not always about "the next big thing" or "turning an entire industry on its head". I could see this work its way into various products without much fanfare and gazillion dollar valuations.

The problem is that line of thinking only scales to when things work using the very basic level of abstraction presented.

A 150W audio amplifier is a surprisingly difficult thing to get working right, even with an off the shelf IC. You have to consider grounding, trace impedances, current density, power supply quality, filtering and parasitics really otherwise you end up with wildly oscillating nightmares or exploding amplifier ICs.
Someone noticing they are being scammed means that it's over anyways. What I'm saying is that, as the scam is happening, you are going to get at least 1 "legit" looking transaction where the cash is already in the scammer's hands. The person with the stolen credit card is often someone elderly or unable to notice major financial decisions, which makes them perfect marks for being scammed in the first place. What I'm saying is that, to all the parties involved except the scammer, there is no obvious signs that something fishy is going on.

Instead, MS discontinued Edge, Mozilla has only 2% market share (still big in global terms), and 90% of the internet traffic is basically running on Chrome. No innovation is possible that is not in-line with the direction the upstream, or at the increasing cost of constant catching up to updates.

The problem is that the effective taxation rate is unbalanced. Lowest income groups and new graduates are paying more than the highest income ones! Lowering tax on the majority of people need not lower tax so significantly if paired with higher tax rates at the top. Or so my understanding goes.

V. Smil is a polymath who understands the problem of climate (visa-vi energy availability, security, sustainability) in such a depth, in full historical context, and on so many levels of analysis simultaneously (geopolitics, population dynamics, immigration, etc) to the point its humbling [for those who were able to read with notes his book on energy, global-trends-catastrophes, etc]. That is meant to motivate one (especially younger generations) to get real about solving the right problem at the right scale, with the right time-energy costs, rather than politically and emotionally driven, and ultimately wasteful pseudo issues (such as banning plastic straws, one out of myriad such examples). [And CO2 concentration is just a poster child for a cluster of issues of which an understanding the water cycle and enabling natural ecosystems regulating it properly is the core of this cluster of climate change bundle).

One take away point I would highlight for myself from the interview is the reinforcement: ".... this is a totally unprecedented problem, and people don’t realize how difficult it will be to deal with. " This is (speaking from Germany's point of view) the entrapped high-school and elementary school activism equipped with political slogans are hands down the worse possible way to go about thinking/acting about the said problem. Rather create math-physics-engineering centered curricula (or its elements) where physical/natural reality of being is the central philosophy so kids are less concerned with politics and become practical, competent agents of change which ever way it will turn out to be. Why a 10 year old kids has to know G.

Huh? This is blatantly false. Link aggregators are not as large as you think. People go on youtube.com and watch the videos there, or check out their subscriptions, or use the search bar in youtube.
Why use types? Why not introduce built in parsers to provide validations instead? (i.e. https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4)

I think hush is going in the wrong direction. The majority of shell automation is associated with running IaC and container images / orchestration tools.

Shell scripts don't need to follow functional programming or OOP. They need to be container-oriented / VM-oriented / image-oriented with a conformation to YAML notation as this is already the adopted norm for containers and IaC.

It looks like it, but it's due to incompetence, corruption, low morale, and terrible planing, not lack of planning per se. You can plan all you want, but if you do so based on wrong assumptions, and the people who you rely on to get information for the plans, and to execute the plans, are mostly incompetent stooges chosen for loyalty, it will turn out bad.

I think the biggest issue is that Nim took a long time to “find its feet”. There was a lot of experimentation before the current sweet spot. Due to its new GC system ‘ARC’ it’s now broadly useable as a systems language, which wasn’t true before with a regular GC. ARC is non-atomic/non-locking reference count based, meaning it can be used to as a systems language (no GC pauses) or for system libraries (C programs can use it).

There’s a few awkward-ish parts of the syntax, but in practice those items aren’t big issues (compared to say Rust async syntax issue). For example multi-line lambdas can be done with ‘do’ blocks or just wrapping parens. Identifier equality has actually saved me from a few bugs by accidentally creating a new similarly named variable, say an ‘isDone’ when I already had an ‘is_done’ following the style from C FFI. Though the compiler warns by default when mix naming styles, and can be set as an error if desired.

Iterators usage can be a bit annoying though. I also really enjoy UFCS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Function_Call_Syntax

On April 16, 2014, Vice President Biden met with his son's business partner, Devon Archer, at the White House. Five days later, Vice President Biden visited Ukraine, and he soon after was described in the press as the "public face of the administration's handling of Ukraine." The day after his visit, on April 22, Archer joined the board of Burisma. Six days later, on April 28, British officials seized $23 million from the London bank accounts of Burisma's owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. Fourteen days later, on May 12, Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma, and over the course of the next several years, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer were paid millions of dollars from a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch for their participation on the board.

Show HN: A tool to seed your dev database with real data
A bunch of developers and myself have created RepliByte - an open-source tool to seed a development database from a production database.

Features:

- Support data backup and restore for PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB
- Replace sensitive data with fake data
- Works on large database (> 10GB) (read Design)
- Database Subsetting: Scale down a production database to a more reasonable size
- Start a local database with the prod data in a single command
- On-the-fly data (de)compression (Zlib)
- On-the-fly data de/encryption (AES-256)
- Fully stateless (no server, no daemon) and lightweight binary
- Use custom transformers

My motivation:

As a developer, creating a fake dataset for running tests is tedious. Plus, it does not reflect the real-world data and painful to keep updated. If you prefer to run your app tests with production data. Then RepliByte is for you as well.

Available for MacOSX, Linux and Windows.
