It's quite nuanced, which of course the GP comment wasn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Government policy and societal attitude are two parts of the reason. It's not really fair to compare US and Estonia really, One is managing 350(?) million people and the other 1.3 million. Even comparing Australia to Estonia though, the differences in behaviour from the government entities are remarkable.

Australia has a real "we're going to catch you" vibe to it's taxation and social services, where as, Estonia seems to really have an attitude of trying to build awesome things to make their citizens better off and to streamline things.

Governments and their relationship to technology, both as a provider and also as a regulator is a complex beast. As you say, so many of the problems are manifestations in the imperfections of our democracies. Regardless of which AU, EU, GB, US all have flaws that we have to live with and work to improve.
The standard mandates it, and the V8 team implemented it, shipped it behind a flag, then unshipped based on reasons that initially seemed and ultimately were proven fuddy, when WebKit shipped PTC, and the world didn’t fall down.

The reason actual why it was withdrawn is that it would have required expensive changes to Microsoft’s Chakra (the calling conventions were incompatible).

Then Edge died... and Google didn’t add it back. Go figure.

Firefox also has problems implementing cross-realm tail calls. That could be spec’ed around, but there’s no will to do so.
>Then there's also the issue of managing certificate revocations.

Revocation updates are in the form of authenticated UEFI variable blobs. They can be applied regardless of OS and don't require a firmware update.
I think that you have to take into account the popularity of these methods when evaluating whether to implement them. It would seem the more sites that do these obtrusive UI patterns the less effective they become. Anecdotally nearly every method described in the article is an automatic back button off the site for me.

> One thing that became extremely clear after anti-Russian sanctions were imposed is that multinational corporations absolutely belong to specific country or set of countries.

"Set of countries", aka economy yes, "single country" no. If every nation except the US allied with Russia over Ukraine, I'm not so sure McDonald's would have pulled out of Russia.
Does anyone think rising inflation will tame such splurges?
They are always different. You cannot hold a conclusive A/B test for customer experience.

Search engine, a single-purpose tool, is as simple as they come regarding customer experience. Still, a good search algorithm can make me click on the first result if it is good, and a bad search algorithm can make me click the first result because they are so bad that scrolling further is a waste of time, especially if I already needed to scroll through widgets and ads to get to the first result.

It's not about just selecting good metrics, it's about higher level picture that A/B testing can never get you.
> Drivers' economics are more precarious.
> They lose about 11% per ride.

So on net, they may be out something like 11-30% per ride dependent on location. Those are awful economics. More concerning would be busy season/dry season dynamics for Uber drivers. If there are months where rides decline in frequency or become more concentrated - then driver economics may be substantially worse than the average would have you believe.
PSA: The Risks of Remote JDWP Debugging
We use Vaadin for admin frontends in Spring Boot backend services written in Kotlin - this way the BE team can build admin UIs without frontend dev involvement. For that, it works ok.

Everything user-facing is React.
For me - it was seeing a Bitcoin "ATM" next to the Dipping' Dots machine at my local mall.
I think the point is that most metrics are "bad metrics" for this purpose, as suggested by Goodheart's law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law

Further, I imagine that the obvious "known bad" metrics are not selected only by "A few bad apples". I think it's likely they are selected by the mass of business actors looking for current quarter results.

I have to disagree because at the end of the day, the consumer has a choice. BMW, Stellantis and other car makers are charging subscriptions for features. I see an immediate solution: buy another car.

I see this argument a ton, people complain that new cars are too expensive, super high monthly payments and subscription features. Yes these are all problems but they are only problems if you choose to buy a new car. Seems that folks forget in these arguments that there is a sea of affordable, reliable used cars without any of the bullshit they add to new cars these days, at a fraction of the cost of a new car.

That's in Turkish though. In English the 'e' at the end of 'Turkiye' could either be silent, as in code and eye, or it could be pronounced as in Kanye. It's likely that both pronunciations will be used, similarly to Porsche and Nike.

Considering that the pronunciation of 'Turkiye' with a silent e is almost identical to the standard pronunciation of 'Turkey', I suspect this will be the primary pronunciation in English and will win out over the "Kanye" pronunciation. This would make 'Turkiye' a purely orthographic change and not a linguistic one.

With some exceptions (especially in places where car ownership is a real financial/hassle burden like Manhattan), my observation is that people who choose not to own a car even in an urban environment with good public transit end up making a lot of lifestyle compromises. Even leaving aside trips to the emergency room, sick pets, etc., they just don't head to the mountains/beach/etc. because it's too big of a hassle. And especially once you get past a certain age, you can't rely on friends with cars like we did undergrad. Perfectly valid choice but, for the most part, you just don't do things that are a pain to do.
“There are plausible reports” should probably be followed by a link or two.
I started reading this book after seeing this thread, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31835818 by Chidi.

I like the author's sense of humour and the hand drawings.

I'm currently doing an implementation in V, https://vlang.io/

As this review says it can be challenging reimplementing it in another language but that is where the fun is.
It can feel a bit boring just typing in the authors code into your IDE :(
Async data loading and intermittent connections are something backend developers should actually be prepared for, even though some of them like to pretend everything is always available quickly and reliably because of "cloud".

In my experience as a "full stack developer" frontend likes to reinvent itself rather than find new solutions to problems. We've had responsive design policies for years now and touch screens have been the norm, I don't think you need a "modern" library for anything, really. Just one that works well enough and a big chunk of well thought-out CSS.

I think technologies like Blazor are more useful to practical application development than a new version of React/Svelte/Vue where the widgets are now Fogo-based rather than Bar-based because the library developers considered it a better API.

In a perfect world, you don't need two languages for frontend and backend. You can torture yourself by adding the Node stack to the backend, or try something like that new Kotlin project, but it's clear we're still quite a ways away from well integrated web application development.
I thought the JetBrains subscription was actually a good example of a subscription - when you buy an annual subscription, you get a 'perpetual fallback license' for the version at the time of purchase - i.e. you can continue to use that version forever without further payment.

Isn't that basically a traditional (90's style) software purchase?
There’s Monogame, if you know C#. It’s got a decent sized community and it's been used to create a number of popular games.

You are correct, it is no different, and it's wrong when Intel does it too, assuming the CPU hardware really is identical and it's purely a software lock that the user can't work around.
Most well vetted material you will find on this will use regular old C, not Nim, like that Bryant & O'Halloran Computer Systems from a Programmer's Perspective mentioned in a sibling comment. It probably won't rely on C that dramatically, but your best bet today will probably be to learn the used subset of C and Nim analogues at the same time.

Your questions are a bit all over/vague. The Nim forum (forum.nim-lang.org) is generally very helpful and if you ask more specific questions then you can get better answers.

There is also https://ssalewski.de/nimprogramming.html which has some material on what you are asking about.

Woman’s conviction in Austria for calling the Prophet Mohammed a paedophile did not breach her right to free speech, European Court of Human Rights rules

The woman, named only as Mrs. S, 47, from Vienna, was said to have held two seminars in which she discussed the marriage between the Prophet Mohammad and a six-year old girl, Aisha.

According to scripture the marriage was consumated when Aisha was just nine years old, leading Mrs S. to say to her class Mohammad 'liked to do it with children'.

She also reportedly said '... A 56-year-old and a six-year-old? ... What do we call it, if it is not paedophilia?

> The 'Uber Files' leak reveals the power of the company’s multimillion-pound lobbying effort – and how it worked with governments across the world to undercut workers’ rights.

The amazing thing is the brazen twists of logic that laws protecting taxi monopolies that price gouge consumers are somehow ethical, and that Uber is somehow unethical in challenging those laws.

Existing taxi drivers don't have a 'right' to not compete.

> ‘Violence guarantee[s] success,’ said CEO Travis Kalanick after some executives expressed reservations about a plan to send drivers to a 2016 protest in Paris where they could be attacked.

That's a blatant attempt to spin Travis' words as wishing Uber drivers got hurt. Knowing the Guardian (who previously had to apologise for incorrectly saying Mark Duggan, a drug dealer shot by police, was unarmed when Duggan had a gun in his vehicle) I want to see the actual text messages.
I never seen an A/B test where the goal was not to maximise profit for the company.

The sync folder is setup in syncthing to my laptop and nas, then the nas also backups up that to Backblaze.

This highlights the major downside to "data-driven" policy and decisions.

Data can "lie". What is observed is not always reality, simply what we can see of it.

Consider auctions. You never actually "see" the bidder's demand or utility. Yes, there are some ways to structure auctions that in theory show willingness to pay and such (ignoring confounding factors and irrationality), but you don't actually observe anything beyond the bid.

Similarly, on websites, you don't always know the causal reasons people click here or there. You know perhaps enough to predict a step-wise behavior, but don't (usually) understand the full behavioral lifecycle -- especially if a metric improves but at the hidden cost of decrements to conversion and similar.
When real interest rates and inflation are low, recurring revenue looks really attractive, because the NPV is high. That makes sense and I see how that drives subscription models for everything from movies to phones to car seats. But now interest rates are rising and inflation is high, I can't help but think BMW have missed the boat and are pursuing a model that would have been a great idea in 2008 but with hindsight will look dumb when 2030 people look back at us.
Most people here would probably tell you how arrogant you are or how to find happiness in what you do. But do you know that people in common spend 20 years to find the real proficiency?

It’s easy to know if you're there or not by asking a single question - Do you find purpose in what you do? You can be a software engineer and work in cloud computing for example. But deep inside you know that you never cared about clouds and always wanted to help people to get to space.

I personally know that no matter how good the work conditions would be, I would not be satisfied until I would work in the game industry. Until I know that my input helped to put smile on thousands of faces.

In the UK the incumbent government ministers scammed taxpayers with what is effectively almost a fake invoice scam for PPE to the tune of £8.7Billion (that's the amount written off with a wave of the hand and 'these are not the scammers you're looking for').

That's our lead.

No unconnected person is going to ever reach that level of financial immorality and the supreme legislator says "this is fine".

USA'a Trump is a massive grifter, also countenanced by the legislature.

Why would you be moral if the most politically powerful and financial successful people are modelling success through immorality.

> We have an entire political party in the US (Republicans) that are "anti-regulation" and fight tooth and nail against new regulations.

This doesn't matter on a state level, for example democrats could easily create such regulations in New York or California if they wanted to.

> Uber is lobbying heavily for regulators to NOT do that.

Yes, every corporation lobbies for laws that favors them, this is nothing new. Lobbying isn't corrupt, politicians making under the table deals with corporations is the bad part, lobbying is just corporations telling politicians what kind of laws the corporation would want.

The cost of installing heated seats might be at least partially included in the base price. But that's different from the price they charge for buying heated seats. The $300-$500 you currently pay for heated seats are not reflective of the price to run a couple resistive wires through a seat, they are reflective of what people are willing to pay for the convenience and status of heated seats.

Yes. There's nothing keeping anyone from buying the music they like even if it's just digital. Music is probably the thing that there's there's the greatest choice between renting and very reasonably buying.

I have a big library which I got in order a couple years ago. But I made the decision that there was no need--at this point--to buy any gaps. I'd just stream and could always buy pretty much anything I wanted at some point if I wanted to. (My interests are mostly very mainstream.)

That decentralized digital currencies provide no value is the extraordinary claim. It's a statement that is obviously false to anyone who's been following mainstream news in the past years.

How do you know that? OP doesn't say whether or not other people were let go at the same time also. It could be either.
Official service centers are a bad joke though. Especially for BMW you pay 2.5x the work of other, good service (tested this on oil change, liquids were the same). Then they also screw you on parts prices. Suffice to say I never went there again.

I never saw the reason to buy new cars which drop value tremendously in first 5 years, I am certainly not that rich to not mind. I rather buy 6-7 years old, BMW in this case, do maintenance in good unofficial garage and drive the car to the ground. If you find one, stick with it till you die.

First car (BMW E46 3-series) bought for 25% price of new, maintenance costs rather minimal, drove it for 10 years till clutch/transmission literally died.

Now we have again BMW (5-series F10 wagon), bought for 20% of the new, 6 years/90k km old. Obviously no clue how it will behave in future, but we paid 80k less for really premium safe family car, and my yearly maintenance costs have been around 500$ per year.

People sometimes do stupid decisions when they are driven mainly by emotions.

Every single time there’s an article about Uber exploiting workers/the law the top comments are always some Uber propaganda pieces that seem totally astroturfed. Yes, Uber is better than the old system, they can also treat their drivers like human beings.
