The directly related fight here is Microsoft's pylance on the Python side. pyright still exists and many of the components in pylance are still open source, but pylance itself is closed source and bundles closed source tools. (That is pylance is not just a pyright fork, but closed source LSP bridge for pyright + proprietary parts.)

It's not without controversy on the Python side as well.

At some point it simply becomes questions of stewardship and transparency: How good are they at pointing out the open source parts wrapped inside the closed source LSP bridge? What cadence do they upstream fixes to the open source parts?

So far Microsoft's stewardship on the Python side seems strong: pylance has a lot of transparent documentation of all the open source bits. There seems to be a steady upstream flow to pyright for users that prefer to stay entirely with an open source LSP. Microsoft isn't treating it like a competition to "win" and encourages users to make their own choice among the options.

Of course, Microsoft doesn't "own" Python in the same way it "owns" .NET so I can definitely understand why there's increased fear that Microsoft won't be as good of a steward with respect to this "competition" with OmniSharp simply because of .NET's past. But in .NET's past this controversy would be happening after Microsoft did all the work in building the closed source LSP replacement. The fact that we're having this discussion now in only an "architectural discussion" state says a lot already about how Microsoft's stewardship and transparency have changed today.
Their model seems to be straight forward: fill out a form telling us everything you own. Then, give it to us. And if we want more, we'll give you a loan so you can keep emptying your pockets into our coffers for long into the future.
Again, it’s a waste of time. The company nor the former employee should be wasting their time with saving face.

The startup has actual important things to do and the former employee has new projects to start. When a founder leaves it isn’t even that big a deal, nobody cares about a former employee.
Yeah. Academic culture is totally broken, they institutionally assume at every level that everyone is honest and fraud doesn't exist. Therefore if someone points out problems with a paper or its data, it must be merely a mistake and the civilized thing to do is ask for a correction.

There appear to be no limits to how absurd this phenomenon can get. Here's an example:

Governments spent huge amounts of money on what they at least thought were public transportation projects. In California, the public voted for propositions approving this spending. This shows that spending on public transit is popular. The will is there. It's fairly conventional wisdom that improving public transit is important.

The execution of these plans is often pretty bad. This shows that something is going wrong other than having public support.

It is technically a strawman because the interlocutor never said that--so you are arguing with something that wasn't said. If you phrased it, "While I have considered the possible advantages of your point, I, by contrast, am against UBI because it will obviously incentivize idleness," that would be both correct and not a logical fallacy.

The poster is splitting hairs, of course.
The current situation doesn’t need to benefit society to oppose changing it for Facebook.

Ok, that confuses me even more!

I was thinking maybe you relied heavily on javascript frameworks that do iteration for you. That might explain it.

If you've written a lot of C code, did you somehow manage to do so without using 'for' or 'if' on a regular basis?

(You can tell I'm very confused, because I thought 'if' and 'for' happen a lot in C).

Just to be sure: maybe you're confusing 'fizzbuzz' with something else?

Fizzbuzz was: print the numbers 1 to 100, but instead print "fizz" on every 3rd, "5" on every fifth, and "fizzbuzz" if both.

(That's it, there's no trick question, and we don't care about things like typos or off by ones, because everyone makes those if you just ask out of the blue)

Are you sure you've never written anything similar before in some function or other? (the original cfengine itself seems to have quite a number of functions that loop over something and filter it. )
I mean, God Save The King/Queen is not exactly passive either. For a period it briefly had a mask-off moment, where my people were to be "crushed":

> Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,

> May by thy mighty aid,

> Victory bring.

> May he sedition hush,

> and like a torrent rush,

> Rebellious Scots to crush,

> God save the King.

So that's nice, when your own national anthem called for you to be crushed. This verse is not used anymore, but the UK national anthem is obviously not popular in Scotland. I have never learned the lyrics to it and haven't the faintest interest in doing so. For me it starts "God save our something Queen, bleeh bleh bleh bleeeeeeh bleh bleh, god save our queen..."

I know "Kde domov můj" more than I know that song.

I worked with Wangs back in the day, in BASIC.

I remember reading the manual for a customer's machine (2200T? aka "Model T", or maybe 2200VP, aka "2200 very profitable"). The manual indicated that several disk operations were implemented in an extra chip in the new model.

Some time later, their machine kind of broke. I experimented and discovered that only the disk operations were not working, everything else was fine.

I was pleased as a software engineer to be able to tell the customer, "Call Wang maintenance and tell them the XYZ chip is fried."
It is more about how much patience do you have than steering angle.
> She admits that the feedback is valid, but it's overwhelming and doesn't know how to address it.

This is great information. Presuming she is correct, then she will have to go through grief stages to deal with the emotional loss of previously held beliefs of herself. Then she should create a plan of attack to improve, and take steps daily to action the plan.

Throughout the way its important for her to practice positive self-regard in as many areas are honest, to keep the remaining "short comings" within her locus of control, and for that which is truly out of her control, to accept it and choose the best future she can imagine w/ those things simultaneously true. Additionally she should try not to compare herself to others, only to her past self and her potential future self.

She may also want to examine her own thought life for Cognitive Distortions. This article lists 10 of them: https://www.verywellmind.com/ten-cognitive-distortions-ident...
> “We’re often mixed up with Paris,” jokes Chris Warner, director of the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT).

Portland looks good by comparison to other cities in the US that are doing literally nothing, or actively trying to maintain the existing car centric planning methods.

The greenways in Portland are really nice compared to other places, but it still requires a lot of bravery from cyclists which limits the appeal of biking for a lot of people. Haven't been hit by a car since moving out of SF though so that's something.
I'm torn here.

Yes, some people use "where's the evidence" as a conversational gambit to try to shut down discussion they don't like. (And if you provide evidence, they may say "that's only one source, got any others?") And if they're being dishonest in asking, there's no point supplying the evidence they request; it is useless to try to have a conversation with those who will not listen.

On the other hand... when you make a claim, the burden of evidence is actually on you, not the other person. And if you say "you have access to the same search engines as everyone else", well, that's true. On the other hand, one person writes a post, and ten people read it, or a hundred people, or a thousand. Making the thousand do the searching, instead of having the one writer do it, is really inefficient.

This leaves you at "do the work of providing the evidence, but don't feed the dishonest trolls", which is... well, at best it's not very actionable advice.

I told you I was torn...
At scale this should work fine. Some parts of the dashboard are not yet prepared for that amount of data to flow in though, may be hard to navigate and monitor.

I am also looking at the pricing for that because right now I offer unlimited emails but I need a good way to compensate for power users like yourself without going completely overboard.

Didn’t Google change their smear to 24 hours because it was what AWS and some other internet time servers used?
It was wireless and never connected to the machine, so I'm not sure it was capable of damage. But it also didn't have much of a chance since it would only stay connected for about 30 seconds, after pairing.
Nice find, I never knew that such a thing was done in that way. You really don't want to think about what would happen if that mechanism ever triggered while driving :)

Also, I wonder how they kept the alignment properly, that is a pretty small tolerance affair unless you want to go through a new set every 1000 km or so.
Zipcar transitioned everyone who was on a free plan to a paid plan without their consent and started charging their card on file. Unethical and almost certainly illegal. I’m not surprised.
"Brick and mortar is different"

Not in the ways you describe:

I think I hear you, in that often sometimes these conversations bring up very deep foundational conflicts?

What I've seen is that sometimes the simplest of arguments, when both sides continue opening up, can reveal some existential conflicts within us. I think one of the main conflicts we fight is actually opening up too much and showing too much of our humanity (or our perceived inhumanity).

So yeah, some of these conflicts might go deeper than we want and nudge/force us to confront things we've been trying to avoid. It's something I fear in resolving conflict with people, I like to keep going and sometimes people will say to me "that's enough!" and cut it off, and I think it may relate to them pushing up against those biases/conflicts as you've mentioned.

The most generous hypothesis would be that Planetscale is an increasing popular product among the HN crowd - specifically, those who have to maintain large MySQL deployments. It seems like a very good product that is seeing something like viral adoption across those companies.

The next ingredient would be if dropping MySQL tables is a relatively big pain (or known but unmanaged risk) that most of those people have experienced at some point.

Then this feature would be exciting news for that not-so-small cohort and that seems sufficient for HN upvotes?

I don't know if that's what happened today. I've heard about planetscale a few times but never used it. I can attest that dropping tables is always scary.
I haven't seen Pig, but I'll watch it, thanks!
You're right that this has unilateral benefits, but it's even better if something like this becomes encoded in social norms. For example, there are online communities where it's simply expected that you'll assume good faith and basic decency from the people you're arguing with. To do otherwise would be a serious faux pas. There are also online communities where everything immediately devolves into flamewars in which everyone is shouting and no-one is listening, and that is considered normal and inevitable. And then of course there's a whole spectrum in-between. I can tell you from experience: the places with nicer discourse norms are more pleasant and the discussions tend to be much more interesting and productive. (Compare HN with, say, most of Twitter.)
I've found this tends to come from life experience suggesting this is the only way to survive. It can be incredibly difficult to come at this from a place of compassion, but I've found that when I do - when I create real value in their lives through acts of community and cooperation - I can slowly open a door for them to see other ways. It takes time and a lot of compassion. But it's totally doable, and it can feel real good to see people build compassion from nothing.

The book "Building Secure and Reliable Systems" from Google's series on SRE actually talks about two examples of this in C++ and Go which forbid using anything but string literals in the query string of an SQL API.

In Go, the solution was very tidy: it aliases string to an unexported internal type that consumers cannot instantiate. String literals can be coerced to that type, but variables that already have type information associated with them are rejected at compile time.

The C++ solution was a bit more complicated and involved templates.
I would say that Henry Kissinger and John Mearsheimer have strong biases in favor of "Great Power" theory, which at its basis denies smaller, weaker countries in the "area of influence" of a great power any kind of autonomy. Mearsheimer has spent much of his career developing and extolling great power politics and, well, Henry Kissinger is Henry Kissinger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_diplomacy).

One notes that Russia is a great power only because of its nuclear arsenal; that is, in fact, what separates the great powers from weak countries that have any independence only at the pleasure of the nearest great power. That should concern you if you are fan of nuclear non-proliferation, by the way.
Indeed but the bit about “maybe gravity stops applying at some point” is key. Just floating to the moon seems more doable that that this small huntable bird has an active domain larger than any human empire ever.

Like obviously they were way wrong - but I think it’s important to frame historical ideas with an honest “what would I have to believe in order to believe this”.

Read the opening license line for BSD:
"Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted"

This feels incompatible with a spontaneous patent claim, because otherwise "use" is not permitted once a patent right is asserted.

The notion of open source is under threat from patents being used by the likes of Facebook, who've released BSD code then immediately claimed a special patent license in a parallel that disavowed "redistribution and use" unless the patent license also applied.

So we can say that a license that explicitly doesn't include patent permission doesn't meet the 4 freedoms.

> The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose.

A patent overrides this.

> The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish.

A patent overrides this, at least the second half.

> The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.

A patent overrides this.

> The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others.

A patent overrides this.

Facebook's React library was an example of this. BSD but with a non-free patent license that ran against those freedoms. So it was not really open source.
That's a good point. I call this sort of post either a follow-up or a quasidupe, depending on how dupey (?) it is.

The problem is that the HN discussions on a topic cluster tend to be much the same, even if the article itself isn't. But I've taken the [dupe] stigma off this one now.
> “If we have an offset from solar time, it is not extremely important,” [...] “We are already shifted by one hour in summer compared to winter time. Are we affected because of that?

I think this argument: that we're syncing to atomic clocks and keeping in sync with the sun isn't so important should have been included in the post. I stand by my earlier comment that it felt like a hack, but aligning with SI unit of time + atomic clocks is, I think, far superior.
Speaking just for NYC, outside of a (relatively speaking) few jobs in investment banking or trading in finance, FAANG tier SWE, and perhaps medical doctors and upper tier lawyers, I don't think Manhattan salaries are high enough to compensate actually living in Manhattan versus the suburbs. This is assuming without roommates.

I've worked 4 SWE jobs in Manhattan in my career. The first 3 were at non-tech companies (investment banks) where SWEs were a cost center and paid like a cost center. Nearly all of my coworkers commuted in from New Jersey, Westchester, less expensive parts of Queens or Long Island.

My current job (FAANG tier company) is the first job where most of my coworkers actually live in Manhattan, or at least Brooklyn.

> If one car only needs extremely small margins to park, it's possible for conventional cars ahead or behind to lose too much of their normally-expected larger buffer space, and be unable to (easily) leave.

Doesn't the same apply already with large low-maneuverability vehicles versus subcompacts?

If there's a Ford Excursion or Chevy Suburban overhanging a parallel parking space in to the space in front of it, there's a good chance my Fiesta still fits just fine. If I park there, that's probably going to make it harder for them to leave.

I know in a lot of the world the American city style of parallel parking with defined spaces isn't a thing, you just park along the curb wherever your vehicle fits, but still this situation already exists. Smart cars, those little one seat city runabouts, motorcycles, etc. will fill the tiniest gaps given the opportunity and people still get by.

I grew up in rural PA. I'm not city folk, I chopped wood and raised livestock. I walked though the woods with my dog after school every day. I got third place in the county youth skeet shooting competition when I was 14. Half my friends were Pennsylvania Dutch. I live close enough to NY and Philly to have spent a lot of time there. I live in the suburbs now but I'm moving out as fast as I can now that my career is established and I can work remotely.
