I'm not here to speak for all members of the V community, as it appears your are trying to pigeonhole me as doing, for your narrative. My personal opinions are in no way reflective of their entire community.

It also appears you prefer to see negative opinions or commentary about V, and are getting overly upset or obsessed with those you believe are defending the language in any way. I'm simply responding to a thread on HN (as you are), that was not made by me, and calling out things that I see or believe to be unfair.

The V community has open discussions that anybody can join and make comments on. You can also freely create an appropriate discussion at the V GitHub. This is something that it appears you don't know about (and what the OP purposely avoided), as you're "talking in circles" with me and giving your opinions about "whining". The link to it is below.

What don't you like about V / what would you like to be changed?
(https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/7610)

You can also interact with the V community on discord as well.
(https://discord.com/invite/vlang)

You are free to go there and submit your many opinions about what the members of the V community should or should not be doing. Even better, as you seem to describe yourself as very technical and knowledgeable. You would be commenting directly to them. In general, they are very receptive, open, and friendly.
The change from proprietary scripting like dc-shell script to TCL a quarter century ago was a rough one, let’s not be too rushed with the next big change..

On the other hand, users of software compilers are starting to talk about link time optimisation and guided optimisation, techniques that I had much more control with dc-shell than any modern software tool chain.
I've seen the same problem with craigslist mirrors. When an item on craigslist gets sold, the seller removes the ad to stop the spam. The old ads stay up on the mirrors and it's not always obvious how old the ad is for.
The abstract says: We find no strong or consistent evidence of political bias in the news feed.

But then it goes on to apparently contradict itself:

The interactions of conservative accounts are skewed toward the right, whereas liberal accounts are exposed to moderate content shifting their experience toward the political center.

How is "shifting their experience toward the political center" not a mild form of conservative bias? If one tribe gets a lot of reinforcement, but the other tribe gets "shifted", that's bias.

This is yet another study that refutes the "Liberal Bias" article of faith. If you hold this faith, you should really re-examine it's truth.
Heh, that's an interesting strategy. My company primarily works with gmock, and I'm not certain you could do what you describe with gmock, but yeah that would work otherwise.

- "If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter."

For all the horrible UX that Twitter,
is, one thing I really appreciate is that the thought-leader (or anyone, really) was forced to sit down and write Pascal's shorter letter; i.e. to take their time and think hard how to convey just the essential ideas they want to express, without fluff or narrative detours (which, if preferred, can be found in other longer form media)

Unfortunately Apple removed it from app store due to some stupid reason.

I think if your app isn’t a huge investment/hit and you are committing to long term support it (subscription) there is no way you can make good money.

Hyper casual games are huge investments since they got good metrics (takes time and budget to achieve such) and publishers are pouring money on them.

So if its not an app/service with subscription and its not subscription based game and its not hyper casual hit with a big publisher behind… it is got to be a good game like here https://noodlecake.com/games/. But if its a good game you probably are about Steam/Nintendo/Xbox/PS

You retained your bodily rights with the covid vaccine because nobody forced you to take it - full stop. You forfeited certain public privileges by opting out of the vaccine because you made yourself a lethal threat (a literal plague rat) to others. Next you'll be saying that driving drunk is your bodily right too.

Grandstanding and pretending you're under house arrest or had a gun to your head is bordering on a persecution fetish. Intentional motivation or not, the actions of rejecting the covid vaccine for non-medical reasons is definitely pro-plague.
> How do you create an “open and censorship resistant system” that blocks only a specific category of people?

The current rise of ubiquitous surveillance is already creating a censorship-resistant system. Whether it's open or not is a matter of policy, rather than technology.

> First we start with scammers and crooks, then fast forward a little, and suddenly now we are doing civil forfeitures?

That's a really good point: I would hope if there were more footage of civil forfeiture it would be harder to get away with it, eh? If everybody can see what everybody else-- including police and politicians --is up to then we can only get away with what everybody (or most everybody) accepts. I call it the "Tyranny of Mrs. Grundy".

As someone who grew up in an environment of multiculturalism, I’ve really appreciated the richness, friendship, and intellectual stimulation it’s brought into my life. I’d be quite hesitant to take that treasure away from the children of tomorrow.

People sometimes talk about this deep-seated immutable tribalism people supposedly have, but I find a lot of it comes from leadership that espouses that thinking.
Inheriting someone else's mess can really hurt.

Especially when you are not given the time to improve things. Worse when you're told they've negotiated 20% extra time to clean up, but every estimate gets shortened by more than 20% to please the customer.

Then you're in the firing line when new features don't ship in time and bugs keep popping up everywhere.

It makes you question your ability as a developer. Sapping your motivation to the point where you feel drained even thinking about the next task.
I need more than the free tier, but I don't need as much as the lowest they offer. $2/month to Google covers all my needs and works perfectly for them. Dropbox is not in competition with the other services for people served well by those lower tiers. There's no hate, just a mismatch between offering and needs.
It seems like Twitter made a tool to specifically do this, not just an altruistic individual.
The relevant quotes from the article (my emphasis):

"The NSW government will introduce laws to confiscate unexplained wealth from criminal gangs and ban the use of encrypted devices as part of long-waited reforms to combat money laundering and organised crime."

...

“These reforms will make it an offence to possess these kinds of devices and allow us to better target high-risk individuals from using them to orchestrate crime.”

How many documents do you actually own, but still write them in a full-out word processor? Personally, if it's just for me, I use .txt files. Word processors are too much friction for personal notes.

The only cases where I want sophisticated formatting features are for other people's documents, which means it's their business to pick the format. They don't always pick Office 365. Sometimes it's Confluence, or a company-branded tool that I don't even know what it actually is, or Zoho, or G Suite.

Between running some random word processor that someone else picked for me in my browser, and giving it unrestricted access to my home folder (or having to fiddle around to get it running in a container of some sort), I prefer the browser.

I definitely prefer the browser over imposing a monoculture on word processors. Not so much because I think there's much room to innovate in text editing itself (I often enough copy-and-paste between web-based word processors and Sublime Text), but because of the opportunity to innovate in the data model.
Those model numbers seem to be the HP part numbers. Don't HP rebadge drives from other vendors?

So my understanding of the situation, is that during the Soviet years the USSR prioritized having a neon stockpile, and the end result was that after the collapse of the USSR, there was so much of a supply glut of neon coming from the former states that it was not possible to compete on (1) or (2), since ex-Soviet factories had the equipment installed and paid for already. And nobody was really betting that there would be an actual full-on land war in Ukraine that would make dependence on this supply glut a problem.

Unfortunately, you don't have to work with bad PMs very often, to occasionally experience a year or more of misery due to their ineptitude.

Good PMs are a bit of a paradox. They are immensely impactful and bring value to every project they touch. Yet they are also far overqualified for what is often a thankless job.

I also have come to the view that even good PMs will rarely allocate the work that is truly impactful. Some of the best work of my career has been when I've gone off piste and prototyped something that has surprised my managers or disrupted the way a team thought they had to work.

You can't go rogue often, and you have to expend your political capital carefully. But you will never do the best work of your career waiting for someone to assign you it in JIRA.

I love Syncthing to bits but I wouldn't say it was comparable to Dropbox in terms of UX and flexibility for e.g. sharing with others or reliability (it gets stuck on syncing files way more often than Dropbox for me.)
There can be so many applications of this that use `:xxx` for more in-depth explanations, comments, multi-code versions of textbooks, etc. I really hate when trying to debug Python dependency issues when 90% of the solution imagine that I use Conda. This could really help generate help with far less clutter.

It could help for a project I had for a while to have a “bilingual” textbook. I remember studying economics and finding the formalism interesting, but way too strict, ridiculously so. Thankfully, one of our professors was “bilingual”: she wrote the usual equations on the board, but read them explicitly as what they were meant to convey, which is far less strict. It wasn’t “prices grown linearly” because the production function happened to be linear like the board read, it was “prices have a tendency to go up”. Suddenly, the gap between the actually needed assumption (very loose) and the example became more clear.

I think not enough people teach technical topics with that distinction between:

* the textbook listing a theorem with the strictest possible assumptions that says that, with enough time, this should converge;

* in practice, the fact that many cases far from that assumption behave the way you’d like for the theorem to make sense.

Having an option to write an accessible version with simple math, and a more nuanced version that can be re-read later is really fantastic.

>The vehicle was equipped with Autopilot, Tesla’s advanced driver assistance system. Using Autopilot requires both the Traffic Aware Cruise Control and the Autosteer systems to be engaged.[2] NTSB tests of an exemplar car at the crash location showed that Traffic Aware Cruise Control could be engaged but that Autosteer was not available on that part of the road.

>With the assistance of the EDR module manufacturer, the NTSB Recorders Laboratory repaired and downloaded the fire-damaged EDR. Data from the module indicate that both the driver and the passenger seats were occupied, and that the seat belts were buckled when the EDR recorded the crash. The data also indicate that the driver was applying the accelerator in the time leading up to the crash; application of the accelerator pedal was found to be as high as 98.8 percent. The highest speed recorded by the EDR in the 5 seconds leading up to the crash was 67 mph.

A multi-node Prometheus setup is significantly more complex to design and operate than a Linux software RAID mirror, especially once you throw in Grafana, Alertmanager, and so on. Distributed anything makes it harder. The layer 7 may 'support' this, but it's not a plug and play setup.

I have a Brother "laser" LED-printer; DCP-1510. Super affordable, supposedly 2400 × 600 DPI, but in real life nowhere near the quality of a 600 DPI HP Laserjet 4 from 1993.

The polio vaccine does not require frequent boosters. It is a different risk profile for a one-time shot vs a frequent injection. Risks compound, the benefits don't.

The polio vaccine is administered only in a segment of the population. If there is risk of, e.g, a "bad batch" of vaccines that could be fatal, we would be potentially causing harm to kids of a very-specific age. If we are talking about mass-vaccination every six months for everyone, the risk of a "bad batch" would lead to potentially everyone being harmed.

The polio vaccine has been administered for decades already. Its safety is not just measured by a bunch of lab tests. Its safety is proven in the field.

Polio is a disease that is somewhat stable. Covid started with high fatality rates (as it usually happens with any new virus entering a population) but will tend to become endemic and mutate to be less harmful, like other seasonal respiratory diseases. Again, I totally supported and encouraged high vaccination rates when its risks were unknown, but now we have more information and I don't see why we should treat it any differently than what we do with the flu.
