I live in the following:

- 2 pairs of jeans, on rotate
- About 20 t-shirts
- 20-ish sets of underwear + socks
- About 3-4 sweaters/jumpers/hoodies
- 1 pair of boots
- 1 pair of worn out trainers

That's basically it. Some of my t-shirts are over 15 years old, in fact 99% of what I wear is over 3 years old. Spending over $500 in a year on clothing is totally alien to me!

Einstein had it right:

"Albert Einstein reportedly bought several variations of the same grey suit so that he wouldn't have to waste time deciding what to wear each morning."

The only clothing I actually care about are my t-shirts. They all have graphic prints on them depicting things I care about. Mostly Films or Metal Bands.

Oddly, the worn-out trainers I wear I bought new on eBay several years ago, and it was only some time later that I realised they were limited edition Nike Cortezs that have since sky rocketed in price (for new-in-box) and now cost £500+ . I bought them because I liked the colour, and have practically worn them to death. Trainer/sneaker collectors must hate me now.
In support of your point, this largely tracks way the "goto statement" shakeout has largely gone down in a number of programming languages over the decades - "available but discouraged" as in "Please do not write simple loops with if-and-goto."

Access to source inline|linked assembly is also often available. That is perhaps less of a hazard since people probably have a less easy time "convincing themselves they understand it."
What open source means and what different people choose to use it for are different things. Of course as a maintainer you may get more out of it if you put effort in for building a community, which then can help you improve the project, contribute, etc. But that's extra effort, and nobody should assume that everybody commits to that extra effort just because they release source code under a FOSS license.

and in particular

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States-Hong_Kong_Poli...

(though this seems a little focused on export controls)

but I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in whatever meetings American diplomats had with one another and with the various other parties (Hong Kong, China, and Britain).

It sounds like the US was pretty hands-off at the time, though. Maybe that's just the official position, but it's surprising. I suppose 90s optimism could have caused this behavior...

Now I imagine what would have happened instead, say, under an Eisenhower administration, with John Foster Dulles as secretary of state.... It's hard to say: They were much more aggressive (e.g. Iran, Korea, ...), but they were also trying to get the British out of places (the Suez Crisis, the subtext of The Quiet American, ...). At this point it all just becomes alternate history though...

Practically, Britain should just offer citizenship to Hong Kongers...

I wish there were freedom of movement within AUKUS + ASEAN (+ OAS?), as a block, like there is within the EU... Instead it's almost like the neo-empire has hukous. Which sucks. Just come out as an empire and let subjects get some benefits, like the freedom to live anywhere... Or, I don't know, maybe that would just result in Americanization of the world, which would be kind of tragic... Hmm... Well anyway, at least invite Hong Kongers in; it's the least you can do...

Hm, actually CUKCs used to be a thing (unfortunate acronym now in 2022):

https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/the-staggers/2017/05/f...

(Sounds like the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1962 should be repealed.)

Maybe this can all just be done in a bilateral way instead... Problem is, western countries have no incentive to bargain for looser visa regulations that let their people leave...

Still, it's nice to imagine a world where a person from Hong Kong or London or New York could freely move to any of the other cities...

Hm, maybe the collapse of national legitimacy and the rise of sanctuary cities (somewhat overhyped) paired with something more prosaic like sister cities could do this... Why can't a mayor have a foreign policy? Eric Adams or Sadiq Khan: "Hong Kongers are welcome here!" Hm...

How would such a league of city-states defend itself though? I mean, this is the problem in Hong Kong to begin with...

Hm...

Maybe we just need Mr. Lee's franchises... Make it real, people... If Mark Zuckerberg can get 15,000 engineers to try to build the Metaverse, surely we can raise an army to construct good things from cyberpunk...
But @mrtksn (the GP?) states that google doesn't publish it, rather it's published by the author/uploader.

I think that's sophistry.

If I visit Youtube's website, search for "xyz", and play the first result, which happens to have been uploaded by "abc", that's analogous to visiting guardian.co.uk, and reading the top article on the page, bearing the byline "Paul Mason". Paul Mason didn't publish it; The Guardian published it.

The legal fiction that a system like Youtube or Faceache is not a publisher is to protect independent message-boards from being sued, e.g. for libel. But I think even a tiny indy message-board, with say 100 users and no income, is still a publisher. I don't see how you can draw a clear line between the tiny indy publisher and a giant one like Youtube.

And I don't see how you can draw a clear line between something like Youtube, and Guardian Online. Both publishers accept content submissions from multiple authors, review them (The Guardian perhaps not so much), and make them available to the public, possibly with amendments (e.g. overlaid or prefixed with ads).

So I'm sorry: I can't see how Faceache or Youtube is not a publisher, while The Guardian is.

If the laws relating to what you can and can't publish are wrong, then they should be fixed. But simply declaring that a system is a "platform" doesn't make it not a publisher, and doesn't fix the defective publishing laws.

So what I notice is that there seems to be a spectrum between feature-conservative and feature-enthusiast open-source projects.

RH doesn't name any names but there seem to be more feature-enthusiast projects out there. I wonder if someone could name an example and see the pros and cons of the two approaches.

>More resources are used. Yes. However, thinking of it on a universal scale, even resources are "infinite".

That's what people thought about oil, trees, etc. before.
It would help if this article gave some examples of the superior coding style that doesn’t use functions. I would be very curious what it would look like or how it would be bug free. Would it use lots of goto statements like the early computing days? I have to say I don’t entirely understand this article.
I’m confused by your comment, because it doesn’t seem relevant and I don’t understand what you’re saying. My first impression is that you seem to be implying that the security issues in dependencies are in some way linked to the module format (ES/CommonJS), which is not the case. I can’t see why such issues would force a switch in either direction for anyone, given especially that ESM bundlers can generally slurp ECMAScript Modules and CommonJS alike (e.g. Rollup via @rollup/plugin-commonjs) with only rare compatibility issues after at most a little configuration, generally associated with very-badly-written code. Given how much of the npm ecosystem is still on CommonJS modules, there’d be much more outcry if you could’t intermingle the two in a bundler. So if what you had in mind was something like “version x was CommonJS and has a bug, version y is ESM and has fixed the bug”, well, you can probably update to y easily (at least as far as the CommonJS/ESM divide is concerned), and if you were forking or anything, if the bug is clearly identified then patching it onto x is easy too.
The difference is that when people "move to city", it means the village where they are from offers them even poorer conditions. Less food, less work, lower pay.

"People can't afford leaving city" suggest there is active price to be paid for ability to be somewhere - transport, house elsewhere being too expensive or some such. It does not even suggets opportunity cost.

Otherwise said, first sentence means people move to city because it is better for them economically. Second does not say anything about whether it is good for you, just that moving away would cost too much. Also, some people stayed in economicaly bad places, because they could not afford to move to the better place. Transport and initial housing pay was too much.

Thanks. Something I missed is that the JSON is gonna be updated every 1 minute.

I've never tried netlify or vercel, I've been told that the 1 min updates are a problem in platforms like that. I'm an nginx kind of guy but I'm helping an org that has no budget whatsoever and I'm exploring options.
thanks. I'll look into it.
I really love tailscale for my private network.

Nevertheless, I still hope they will revisit support for proper linux kernel wireguard sometime in the near future. This would allow to ditch separate meshing technologies for connecting server nodes (and routing into separate subnets via a tailscale subrouter node). Best of both worlds - ease of use and performance.

I really only started to have a look at other tools (like netmaker, netbird, innernet, wesher) because of these performance caveats (wireguard-go).

You are not going to be promoted if you quickly build something using simple tools. Complex and overengineered systems is where the golden opportunity is.

If you are looking for a utility function then it will likely be found in a file that is imported in many other places. So intuitively this would be a reasonable way to rank files/search results when you are looking for something to import.
There was an Israeli startup that tried this out ~10 years ago: https://jalopnik.com/battery-swapping-israeli-startup-better...

Like the OP said, there is no evidence that’s true and enormous indications that it’s not true. You’re essentially saying this on faith
It's true that with Turing completeness it's in some sense only ever a matter of style. But that's not a very useful observation in practice.

If you really thought the arbitrary jump "has a place in any language" you would not use basically any languages from the 1980s onwards since they all neuter this feature for a good reason as the article explains, and some of them do away with it altogether.

Even C++ - a language that has never seen a gun it won't supply loaded and pointed at your feet - does not allow you to goto labels in other functions, and will run the necessary constructors/ destructors when you enter/ leave scope with a goto statement.

HN skepticism is warranted and deserves decent answers
Perhaps less of a code-related comment than you are looking for, but: to make it easier to collect feedback on the architecture/code, I think it might help to add a readme document that summarizes the layout and structure of the repository in a few paragraphs.

Yes, there's a bit of overhead to maintaining that, and it can fall out-of-sync with the code over time.. the key benefit, though, is that it provides useful context for reviewers, a bit like a geographic map does when navigating a new place.

The goal should be to make people feel like they understand more of the purpose and design of the project shortly after they arrive; as a result they'll be able to figure out what aspects of their own experience they can use to help review (and perhaps contribute changes to) the code, and where to go (in terms of files/directories/modules) to best apply that expertise.
You're assuming that more data will reveal a hidden pattern, but the fact is that most data, and especially most of the easily collectable data is useless junk.
Except that those two are NOT just two ways to frame the are thing. They literally mean much different things.
UK Goverment keen on 50-year mortgages
After going through Google Reader, Feedly, Newsblur and QuiteRSS, I've finally settled on Newsboat, as I can really customize it to my needs, debug it and even integrate custom html to rss generators.

For example, ebay has recently recently stopped supporting RSS through search results (an '_rss=1' query string was supported for over 10 years), and while there are some workaround such as using different search endpoint where the RSS has not been deprecated yet, with Newsboat, I was able to write a custom filter to extract RSS with just few lines of code: https://github.com/almog/newsboat-ebay2rss-filter
The TLB is an attempt to mitigate the horrible performance properties of a multi-level page-table-trees.

If you do away with the page-table-tree, there is no problem for the TLB to mitigate.
In practice, there are packages which have moved on to ESM and which no longer maintain their CJS version (at least as actively), making life difficult for maintainers of projects dependent on those CJS packages with published vulnerabilities.

A CJS-targeting build can’t slurp up ESM dependencies. Not without dubious hacks, at least.

I think it kind of goes both ways. People knee-deep in the React ecosystem are dismissive of problems that don't require a full application implemented in a heavy, opinionated framework.
they mentioned using it to add types to a javascript project. i can see why you'd start by adding types to the files that are most used first
I don't agree. Two sentences in particular drive me crazy:

> As a user of something open source you are not thereby entitled to anything at all. You are not entitled to contribute.

The first sentence is wrong according to any standard definition of open source. The second is specific to the project. It may or may not be true. He's making strong statements about how we should view open source rather than his project:

> The time to re-examine preconceptions about open source is right now. Morale erosion amongst creators is a real thing.

That's a statement about open source, and it's not filler that he threw in without much thought. It's at the core of his argument.

If you really LOVE what you do, it shouldn't be a problem, because you will able to learn and improve as much as needed.

Also everybody makes stupid mistakes, don't worry about those.

Also it's way harder to start today than let's say 5 years ago, because there is so much more technology to learn, so yeah it's a rough start, but you will enjoy more as you learn more.

The server in turn may need to issue crafting requests to load stuff from disk

The nice thing about crafting is that stuff gets cached in inventory as a side effect. You can toss inventory as a way to clear the cache
But as the article points out, you can't use the goto statement as it existed before structured control flow. It's not "available but discouraged" it's just gone because it was a bad idea.

I'm a senior technologist with extensive experience building and managing engineering teams. First half of my career, I have been a hands-on programmer working with high-energy teams. Second half of my career, I have been an executive leader, mentor, and promoter of startups in my roles as CEO, CTO, and VP of Engineering with early to mid-stage startups. I have a strong sense of Product, UI/UX, and Software Engineering.

As for new roles, I'm open to building new teams or managing existing engineering teams. An ideal fit would be for a company that is interested in setting up an offshore team or a company that is interested in establishing itself in India as a new market.

I'm looking for something exciting that I can associate myself with for the next 5 to 10 years. Cheers !!!

> The German state pension system basically amounts to a Ponzi scheme

Yes and no - that is how the world, how life works!

The currently working take care of the currently too-old-to-work. No matter what layer and labels you put on top, that has always been and will always be true. Unless you create time machines, or eliminate aging (with its own huge set of issues).

So yes, the new generations have to take care of the previous ones. "Capital" is only an information layer on top of that reality used to determine who gets what, but it does not replace the reality of who and when produces goods and services. You can shift information about capital into the future (you "saved" for retirement - but only this information is transmitted to the future, not goods or services, which are always used in the present), but actual goods and services always have to be produced and provided by the working part of the population. You can shift as much "capital" (information) into the future as you want, "save" incredible amounts of money, it will change nothing.

> Not only is this pretty much a textbook case of "unsustainable",

Quite the opposite. That is the best kind of sustainable because it actually represents truth most faithfully. The "capital" based magic - that is much more problematic. It masks and attempts to hide the reality. Also a problem in the German system is the many exceptions.

The core German system is the most honest one about reality: The currently working take care of those that no longer don't. If there are too few in the new generation to take care of the expected number of old non-working people in the country, then seeing that problem is GOOD, trying to hide it behind some finance magic is bad.
Yeah, until your team starts using PaaS services and your terraform modules are a mess that barely supports a third of the product's configuration, and that process is going to accelerate more and more over time.
Even leaving out a lot of expensive business/formal clothing--which is less common in most circles these days--specialty outdoor activities clothing and footwear adds up in a hurry, especially if you do stuff in cold/snowy winters. It wouldn't surprise me if my winter outdoor gear added up to that by itself. I admittedly have way too much old clothing I rarely wear (and even more that I really wouldn't miss) but I'm sure my inventory is still way more than that.
