I overthink a lot, I’m not against the concept. But I do need people to counterbalance that impulse of mine sometimes. So I’m just representing that side here.

Also, I think there’s a tendency in philosophy to end up in places you just don’t need to go. Zeno says it’s impossible to walk to a destination; Diogenes counters by walking to a destination.

Sometimes a trolley problem is just a trolley problem, not a side effect from some universal theory of everything.

The extinction of the VX scene is a really sad development.

> legal hurdles licensing things across different country laws and such but in reality that is not my damn problem.

and in essence, a made up problem. The owners of those licenses simply wants to increase profits by price segmentation - that's why media is restricted in some countries from being viewed from other countries etc.

So i have absolutely zero qualms about piracy when such practices exists.
I know that people do use python for 24/7 "must not fail" applications. I'm just not smart enough to write python that I would trust like that. Python comes with a tremendous number of foot guns and you have to find them because there is no compiler to help, and it can be a real pain to try to understand what is happening in large (>10,000 line) python programs.
That depends on how you classify arts. I meant it as a catch all for the entire entertainment industry. Related to that are other “creatives” such as advertising. Then a good chunk of people are either politicians, political operatives or lawyers, those are all heavily people oriented jobs.

Edit: Forgot sports and the entire industry around that.
The MOnSter 6502 – A working transistor-scale replica of the classic MOS 6502
A lot of gatekeeping in this thread. I have my own grass fed, organic vim config the way God intended, but I think Spacevim is a great way for someone to dip their toes in the water. Just because someone uses a pre-built config doesn’t make them a lesser nerd. Also: I have learned of some handy plugins by following the project.
Plus there hasn't been a stable Spacemacs update in years. Telling users to use the dev branch doesn't inspire confidence.
Stop repeating this.

The ETH fork happened before the people on HN were even following cryptocurrency happenings.

That's how early in the project a fork was done — the project would never survive another at this stage of maturity.

And everyone knows that.

So stop repeating it?
Completely off-topic, but: TIL arstechnica has ""vim keybindings"" (j/k) for navigating their comments. It's always fascinating when my muscle memory discovers all the places where j/k works for scrolling.

It's a gpu power consumption/battery life issue. Putting a high res display in an Air clone ("ultrabook") means poor battery life unless you can also make a very efficient GPU (which so far only Apple has done).

The battery life on my 4k XPS13 is atrocious and it gets hot enough to burn my thighs.
I am not surprised that much by this news. Red Hat paid him well, and there are not a lot of companies that would offer more for the kind of job he does. I am sure this feels like a step forward from his perspective. He will still be able to do what he wants, work on something interesting, and continue to trigger the Linux community.
Why does everyone attribute to deception what could just as easily be attributed to this relationship being beneficial for Germany (and a lot of other EU countries which are conveniently omitted from this discussion)?

Energy is at the core of economic development and Germany and a bunch of other countries were able to get gas for decades.
A Better Ranking Algorithm
In 2011 ENERTRAG had a constructed a system to use a windpark to produce hydrogen and burn this in a gas/fuelcell plant. But since a change in the EEG Umlage Gesetz made them pay for their own energy produced by wind, it became unprofitable to do so.

If that sounds idiotic to you, that's because the change in the EEG was created to make exactly this impossible.

Perhaps the problem is that we've stopped teaching people about coupling and cohesion, along with the mechanism of stepwise refinement.

We abstract to functions to reduce cognitive load and to allow scope rules and information hiding within the language to prevent local variables becoming pseudo globals.

The whole premise of the 'goto consider harmful' structured programming movement was to allow us to replace control structures with a single black box consisting of input-process-output, which aided in reasoning.

The premise was to construct the program from cohesive functions that are lightly coupled.

When did we move away from that?

> the highly technical French have forgotten how to build nuclear

They haven't forgotten, they were fighting a witch-hunt orchestrated by the greens. The same eco-ideologist that ruined Germany have made it impossible to properly invest in the nuclear plants in France and to ensure knowledge and expertise is properly transmitted and developed with the younger generation.

For years the message was "don't invest in nuclear, don't study nuclear, don't build nuclear, don't maintain nuclear". Now the message is "we can't even do nuclear properly", it's a disengenous argument.

What we need is a bit of future perspective: Nuclear is here to stay for the next decades (plural). Nuclear related jobs will be in high demand. Nuclear jobs will be well paying. Nuclear jobs will be safe. Nuclear formation is important, and here is money to ensure it happens. Maintenance of nuclear plants is important, it needs to happen and it will be financed. And that will lead to true expertise and safety.
I’d argue that the underlying system that makes the regulation in US is broken. So you aren’t going to end up with many good regulations without changing the system. Which looks nigh impossible until some black swan event.
I think it's a mistake to see that as one sided. Bringing Russia closer to Europe and (according to the now falsified theory) creating conditions for peace while also getting cheap energy has been a goal of plenty of European elites.
Exactly this. I fixed a problem like this a week ago. I found some duplicated code, factored it out into one place by introducing an abstract base class (Python) and in the process discovered one of the duplicated methods had a logic error leading to returning a slightly smaller integer result.

The code had test coverage, but the test confirmed that it produced the wrong result. I had to fix the test too.

No, happens every year to us.

Seems like they revoke the developer certificate before they process the renewal.

Last time it happened, supposedly the developer certificate expired in ~2026 but bam!
As soon as the renewal date came, all the apps stoped working.

Very annoying as I had just deployed updates a week or so before to “try” and avoid that happening.
Why do you trust those tests made by other people to be accurate?

Or the science of it being a problem (or not) to be accurate?

The flaw in your reasoning is that you implicitly assume trust anywhere
I don't think that calling non-JITed Java 'interpreted' is in any way controversial.
Similar to one other commentor, I wonder whether a text-based format (perhaps email/wiki) could be a more effective use of everyone's time?

(that plus the ability to question and correct aspects of the project asynchronously could compare favourably to spoken meetings, where details could be forgotten or misinterpreted over time, and where bandwidth for audience feedback is usually limited)
I don't think the law needs to mandate DRM-free purchases at all.

If a company wants to operate a model where they sell you something but they will store/"maintain" it for you to use at any time, they are free to do so under the conditions that they define.

But if they decide at one point that it's no longer economic for them to store/"maintain" your goods, they should be required to return them to you.

Right now, they simply inform you that the goods you purchased are no longer available to you as it no longer fits their interest to maintain them. And that's something that should be legally challenged in my opinion.
Why should that be obvious? In fact what the poster above us asked seems to be a more obvious question for any laptop in 2022.

> Mistake 1: Switch from DRY to premature optimization.

Mistake 1a: Conflating the term "premature optimization" - it doesn't apply here. Premature optimization is about runtime performance, DRY is about optimising maintenance overhead.

Mistake 1b: (good) DRY can't be done early (it's a continuous process throughout project development).

> Mistake 2: Assumption of incompetence to support your argument.

Mistake 2: Assuming you're never working in teams leveraging peers' of varying experience and technical focus.

The presumption of re-usability is absolutely the most common red flag I've seen with DRY: I've seen it with a lot of very senior / experienced devs. You can call them incompetent, but there's plenty of them and we have to work with them. Articles like this help.

> Mistake 3: Strawman argument. DRY does NOT lead to over-complicating things. Overcomplicating things leads to overcomplicating things.

This statement concerns me. DRY very obviously and demonstrably leads to over-complicating things (excessive / ballooning parametrisation is just one of many very simple examples of this). If you can't see this I would have my own concerns about competence...
This article is just a rant against what the author sees as popular-but-wrong justifications for DRY, while failing to mention any of the good reasons. -1
Maybe I understood what you have said, but intentionally showed how it can be abused by thinking in a too flexible manner?

wxWidgets are a perfect choice if you want cross-platform native controls. Just a reminder, Qt doesn't use native controls, it just emulates the native look and feel. Besides wxWidgets I know only IUP that uses system native controls (though Cocoa is a work in progress), and IUP deals with just UI, wx is like a Qt, a lot more.

In such case calling them purchase should be illegal or result in mandatory refund.

The whole EU as an institution has to be teared down and rebuilt. It starts with the Lisboa treaty. When you create a construct on top of old but better constructs you get the results like increase right wing following, corruption and whatnot.
It used to be that bad politicians were moved to the EU to have them out of sight of the real governments. Now those failures make laws that change what those governments can and can not do.

It's a trojan horse only sitting on top, the pinnacle of uselessness.

Is there any high-end Linux laptops with matte displays? Everything seems to be using glossy displays, which after being used to use a matte one, is simply impossible to use, especially when using the laptop outside or in a sunny room.
But they are allowed to hide behind this false narrative because the population is not aware enough, which is why we should speak publicly a lot of the energy storage solutions and projects.
When you take your car in for repair, you also can’t know for sure what the cost will be, because cars are complex systems and every car is unique in its own way. But if the garage overcharges you then you will figure this out and you will not go there again.

In the US healthcare system because of the lack of price transparency it seems to be impossible to know which hospital or doctor overcharges, and so a free market cannot arise. It is not even possible for a competitor to advertise better prices, because there is no practical way to check that their prices are indeed better.
The plan is to use the plenty of excess renewable production to generate hydrogen and then burn that in the gas plants. Therefore, all gas plants qualifying as "green" have to be able to burn hydrogen.
Account hijacking using “dirty dancing” in sign-in OAuth-flows
Tl;dr with the comments but I didn’t see “debugging” or “maintenance” showing up. Collecting things, which I assume is an aspect of DRY, makes it less risky - the change or fix can be applied once rather than hoping all of the instances in the code were addressed (correctly). Developer time is precious no matter how many of them you have. Given a sensible design, you can always tune hotspots. Can’t speed up debugging and brittle or unclear code means you’ll be doing more of it.

And if it’s “just going to be used once” who really care how it’s written other then “quickly and correctly”? And sadly, too many things aren’t just used once.

Yeah I'm sure the French system also has its problems, my general impression about the administration (not top level political positions) was that people were more technically competent though. I might be biased though as I mostly know people from a few institutes on the Saclay plateau, so it might just have been an "island of happiness" in a sea of problems.

I would argue it’s part of your job most of the time to challenge whatever needs are presented and ask questions about the long-term vision to find a good middle ground of future proofing vs over-engineering. That is of course one of the hardest things to get right.

No. It's the high profit attracting high incentive to capture the regulation.

The goal of the regulation is to increase prices (profit) while preventing other parties from competing on prices
That's still UDP/IP.
Use vite instead of CRA these days!
Yeah there's definitely problems with that as well, not saying it's perfect. I mostly want to contrast it to the anti-intellectual approach here in Germany, where top-level politicians are proud of not having any higher education and see it as their mission to get more ideologically-formed people into top positions.
For me (1981) it's already 9%. That would mean that approx. 1 in 10 friends would already have died. I don't think thats remotely true for me. Most likely the global distribution of deaths is really uneven.

"Essentially pausing the whole green energy effort for the next 8 years (at least)" [citation needed]

It is green energy as long as the criteria are met. Even solar could be not considered green, depending on where you set the emission bar. There is no black and white. There is a long transition process, with timelines, budgets and targets.
Rules on gas are very strict. The regulation is an improvement. Some countries prefer to rely on gas than on nuclear, and there isn't much that the commission can do.
They make it sound like it's a bad thing.
NFTs are transferable and service-independent. Meaning you can trade used digital media and they will continue working even when Sony goes out of business, just like physical media would. Another big advantage is that they are generic, they are just abstract "ownership", you can use them for books, games, monkey pictures or concert tickets. Any normal commercial alternative would almost certainly be locked to a specific type of media and to a set of companies, along with strict rules to follow, if they allow any outsiders to participate at all. NFTs are an open system where everybody can build something with them.

That said, this is all very theoretical. Blockchain needs to get fast and cheap before any of this makes sense.
It is if I only use it to heat the house to 20C?
BetterC is very nice. I'd like to imagine BetterC lifted out of the D compiler with its own spec and separate evolution... That would have been ideal for me. But with BetterC as part of the D compiler it will always feel more like a gateway drug for D rather than a language in its own right :D

There are a lot of C compilers out there, people write them for fun. I like the idea that someone would write a C3 compiler "for fun". So limiting implementation complexity is something I have as a goal. What would it take for someone to write a compiler for just the BetterC subset? Would it be doable like implementing C?
Would be great to have a 16/10 aspect ratio but what is even more important is a decent brightness.

I think you (and most people that talk about storage) drastically underestimate the scale of the storage required and just how tight supply is for the resources necessary to build it.

For now EVs are going to consume the world's supply of batteries. Leaves you with thermal or potential energy storage like pumped hydro. All of which aren't even fully developed yet or are restricted to specific geography.

As of right now, even ignoring new designs nuclear is 100% technically viable, it's just expensive. Expensive is generally easy to fix just needs scale like what we have for solar now.
> For example, consumer electricity and heating in Australia should be effectively free when current promised tech is rolled out. Same in Scandinavia.

No. This will NOT happen and I have no idea what made you believe something as silly. Grids cost a lot of money, there is no "magic tech" around the corner to enable this. Demand flexibility is hard, not at all cheap and nobody knows what the practical potential even is.
