The first (harm) is about as mild as it gets, and the second is a common usage.

Webster's 1913:

> 2. Injury done to that which is entitled to respect, reverence, or observance; profanation; infringement; unjust force; outrage; assault.

> We can not, without offering violence to all records, divine and human, deny an universal deluge. - T. Burnet.

It's a bit more poetic a use, but it's not escalatory in the way you suggest.

[EDIT] Further, my point is (and I think that was clear?) that computerization necessarily does these things if you treat the computer as correct and humans as suspect, not that anyone's doing this on purpose.
You are correct, there were two trials. In the first, the jury convicted him of 1) contempt of court and 2) making false statements to the FBI.

> In March 9, 2020, after hearing four weeks of testimony and deliberating for six days, the jury convicted Schulte on two counts: contempt of court and making false statements to the FBI. However, jurors were deadlocked on eight other counts, including the most serious of illegal gathering and transmission of national defense information. Although the judge declared a mistrial, the government chose to retry the case.

I'm not the person you're replying to but Rogozin is an actual neo-Nazi: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-racist/russian-ult...

Someone else in this thread linked a video of him giving the Nazi salute (is there a name for this?) after his speech at the rally mentioned in the Reuters article. I can't think of any reason someone would attend or speak at such an event, let alone salute like that at such an event, aside from being a neo-Nazi.
Your search actually performed better than Google for me on a random query.

This isn't true, though. If this had been an older GNU utility, the dependencies likely would have been libterm and libc. Not because it would have been less complex, but because of the ecosystem choice in C applications to have larger, fully-featured libraries versus the micro-libraries Rust seems to have inherited from JavaScript conventions.

Whether this is better or worse seems to be a matter of contention for a lot of people, but it certainly poses a challenge for supply-chain auditing. I suspect for Rust to truly ever replace C++ in its domain, the ecosystem is going to need to come up with something like boost so you can grab one library that does all the things nearly any program wants (regex, serialization, cli opts, etc) but that don't get included in the core language's stdlib.

Yeah, I agree. I was certainly underwhelmed with my first small search engine. It was so bad even I didn't want to use it - and I had spent months and months on it.

Still, most projects aren't a search engine. I see people put high expectations on how things will go and often it's just really hard to realize some of those hopes.

Sometimes you just have to take what you can get and iterate. Don't give up.

That is the exact solution described in the link I included in my comment (I am the "Aleksa" in that article). It is not entirely trivial (certain edge cases need to be handled) but it is entirely doable. But string arguments also work if you don't have complicated data parsing requirements.

I (obviously) prefer the extensible struct solution but there are downsides (and other solutions weren't an option for Linux anyway).

Disclaimer: I'm approaching this from the automation side, and currently work at UiPath.

What do you want to use your low-code system to build?

If you're targeting arbitrary app creation, then you probably want your aforementioned tools or the myriad of other options (e.g. Appian, etc).

But if you're targeting automation of existing processes / apps, on Windows, and would like some-but-not-unlimited UI flexibility... use an RPA tool. E.g. UiPath

You get out of the box GUI integration for driving other apps + all the other app designer bits.

Which turns any automation problem into (1) "Is there a prebuilt component for it?", (2) "If not, can I interact directly with the necessary GUI controls?", (3) "If not, can I use CV to drive the problem GUI sections?"

In ~10 years of doing this, over a few products, I'd say (1) handles 60% of use cases, (2) handles 35%, (3) handles 4.99%, and I can only think of a couple times I've fallen completely through and been unable to automate.

And which, critically, means you can push the tool to non-traditional programmers and get decent results.

---

> Can you do an effective SDLC with them? E.g. code on a staging environment, push to version control, promote to prod, rollback to old version

Go ahead and ignore any tool that doesn't store apps/automations in readable files (typically XML).

From that subset, they have varying CVS support, but most modern ones support a sane SDLC.

I'd also weed out anything that doesn't support command line / Jenkins builds.

> Have you actually saved time with them?

Hell yeah. I've automated health care EMR and claims systems in a few weeks... that I'd still be trying to get legal access to an SDK if I'd gone that route.

The key feature of RPA is WYSIWYG automation: since you're automating your GUI, there's no impedance between {process as performed by user} and {process as performed by code}. You just ask them what they do, then 1:1 map actions to automation.

> Did you avoid introducing unworkable complexity?

The key here is process documentation. Specifically, writing down the why of a process and its steps. What is more typically noted, but is far less informative.

With the why documented, you can port to an alternate system or adjust the process down the road without issue.

Setting up hard, machine-checked "must X to Y" gates helps a lot with ensuring consistency here. E.g. carrot and stick "you must create a doc in this format, have it reviewed, and have your code in version control and reviewed" before "you get the ability to schedule it in production"

In an interview the same day with Bloomberg News, MBS explained that Neom’s most important innovation would be its legal framework. He said that in a place like New York, there’s an inconvenient need for laws to serve citizens as well as the private sector. “But Neom, you have no one there,” he said, omitting mention of the tens of thousands of Saudis then living in the area. As a result, regulations could be based on the desires of investors alone. “Imagine if you are the governor of New York without having any public demands,” MBS said. “How much would you be able to create for the companies and the private sector?”

It depends on the application, a short-lived script may complete all of its work before the GC interrupts it, but something that runs continuously can't afford to generate much if any garbage in its main loop because it will inevitably pile up and eventually cause a huge stall when the GC decides that enough is enough. It's especially critical for animated or interactive applications like games, because with those the stall will manifest as the application freezing completely until the GC is finished.

I scored a (picked over) English chest off Craigslist a while back --- unfortunately, it was left open for a long while and the front bowed out, and it had some strange design choices:

- only one open till which is fixed, w/ an odd saw till underneath

Here's a recent episode (he was banned from Twitter for that):

"Dmitry Rogozin (Director General of Russia’s Roskosmos State Space Agency, former Deputy Prime Minister) – comments on his Twitter feed and Telegram channel (June 13, 2022)

“In general, what has grown up in the place of Ukraine is an existential threat to the Russian people, Russian history, Russian language and Russian civilization. If we do not put an end to them, as, unfortunately, our grandfathers did not do away with them, we will have to die, but end up at an even greater cost to our grandchildren. So let’s get this over with. Once and forever. For our grandchildren.”"

He also was a leader of right-wing party Rodina in early 2000s, see more details in Wikipedia:

>Under Rogozin, Rodina shifted towards the right wing of Russian politics and became the second largest and one of the country's most successful parties. A number of controversies on Rogozin's policies culminated in it being banned in 2005 from standing for election to the Moscow City Duma for using what was considered as chauvinist slogan 'Let's Clean the Garbage!'.

A hung jury is just one of the causes of a mistrial; and the net effect of a mistrial is that no verdict is reached. The common law has no prohibition on retrying a defendant after a mistrial.

> Low code can deliver some features 4x faster but sometimes a stupid feature can take 20x the time just because the low code platform wont support that. Or sometimes the solution is so ugly that the whole project becomes a mess.

This is why I'm not too excited about some of these solutions. Seems like I've been here, done that several times in my career: CMS software like Wordpress and Joomla, "Portals", repository and workflow solutions like Alfresco and Appian, etc.

They all save tons of time for a small prototype or very basic use cases, but the minute users want some special feature, you'll spend hours, days or longer fighting against the tool, driving yourself nuts because you know you could implement it in 30 minutes in a custom app. Or you're forced to become an "expert" in these tools, which turns out to be a really bad career move as years of experience with a specific framework will instantly become worthless as industry moves on to the next Big Thing.
Most Romans (excluding the salves who were not Romans despite being the majority in Rome) would have been better off with a good steam engine. However before you get to good you need to go through a lot of working toys that are not worth having. Tractors (tractors have replaced almost half historical human labor, with various automated spinning/weaving machines most of the rest - everything else done by humans, slaves or not is a footnote) are vastly better than slaves, but there is a reason when John Deere bought a tractor company in 1918 they wrote all their dealers something to the effect of the horse drawn plow will always be the backbone of the American farm - early tractors were not better than human labor in general.

Ask HN: What would improve your bookmarking experience?
TLDR: I am making a bookmarking app, what would improve your bookmarking experience?

I am currently working on a product to improve the bookmarking experience on the internet. I surf the web almost every day and come across interesting articles all the time. I don't always have time to read them or want to come back to them later, so I then bookmark them. However, this often results in me forgetting about them or not finding them because I don't remember in which browser and on what device I bookmarked the link.

Therefore I started making my own bookmarking app. It will have
- import and export (JSON, CSV, markdown, txt)
- web/native app
- suggest three random bookmarks to remind the user about them
- extension for frictionless bookmarking
- extension that shows your bookmarks that relate to a google search
- notes to remember ideas
- folders and share folders (collaborative bookmarking)
- categories to enable a broader search if the bookmark title is forgotten
- download the site to prevent link rotting

Would you use an app like this and what other features would you wish for?
It could be a pretty nice 'coffee table book': a walk through history of inventions, with the dependencies of each one listed (to one or maybe two degrees only of course).

You could pick it up anywhere, read forwards; back from something specific (or forward, if you made it a doubly linked list?); or back from whatever 'the end' would be.
