I keep bouncing around on how to respond to this. But really you have this exactly backwards: you think we should pay more attention to a subject (i.e. dedicate our limited "news" bandwidth to understanding it) because political actors want us to think it's important.

And, no, I think that's exactly backwards. The fact that one side is predicting tax armageddon and the other is explaining that it only soaks the rich is an easy cue that this is not a subject with any real truth to it, because if there were then there would be simple answers and not spin. And there is a simple answer, and it's that "The IRS got a moderate funding bump in this bill". And that simple answer is all I need.

And it's all you should need too. The only people who want more coverage of the subject are the ones trying to change your mind about it (or reinforce your priors). And those are the people you should be listening to the least.
Newton simplified physics with his model of gravity.

Before that, we had Aristotle's physics, with its opposing forces of gravity and levity.

"The Register has asked GitHub to clarify its actions or cite the US government order naming these developers as SDNs. We've not heard back."

This implies that they weren't told to do so by the government, but it's all speculation.

The essence of this tiny "interactive command line utility" is to capture user key strokes and redirect to a sub-process. So there gotta be a way to interrupt and exit the sub-process. "EOF" is just a convention. You can also get out of the sub-process with "Ctrl-D" like in Python shell.

Interactive editors like vi/emacs also need to flush the buffer and save the content to the file, but you have to type something, such as ":w" and "C-x C-s" (or use GUI).

If you want full automation without human input, I/O redirection is the way.

And if Russia could build half a million of them and another 2000 Mig-31s to fire them it might be a serious threat.

Russia can develop high tech weaponry, it just lacks the economy and industry to really build and field large amounts of it.

Intuit Quickbooks is another service that gets used like this. My mom received some fraudulent invoice from an Intuit Quickbooks user, which was from the legit Intuit domain since it was sent by the service, which claimed that she owed "PayPal, Inc" $600 for something or other. I told her to delete the email and reported the activity to Intuit but never heard back.
But if you do understand forth, you might not understand why the general public actually likes computers in the first place.

Forth is about as far from everything people expect a computer to be while still using a computer.

It's almost like the Marcel Duchamp urinal or all blue canvas of programming. If you judge it by the standards I would normally use to evaluate a language, it's probably close to the literal bottom of the list of stuff I'd ever use, maybe the only language I can't imagine ever bothering to learn. but people who love it, really love it.

It's not just another programming language, it's a totally new way to relate to computers, and a new idea of what they are for with totally different values from those that the rest of us use.

I don't think photons are absorbed and re-emitted by electrons. At least that argument does not hold when discussing light slowing down in glass or water. Light is affected by the electromagnetic field of the material it is going trough, is slowed down, or absorbed based on some of its property, but photons that go trough are going trough without collision. Photons that get absorbed and re-emitted are scattered in all directions, and are mostly lost. You would not see a consistent image trough a polarising sunglass, if the photons you were seeing were re-emitted photons.
It reminds me of an article in Dr. Dobb’s Journal where some people wrote an FORTRAN byte code interpreter for the i860 that outperformed conventional compilers because the i860 had a completely dysfunctional memory system.

I am willing to bet there's a lot of variation in "midlife crisis". I glanced at Wikipedia to see, and one of the possible sources seems to be when people reflect and realize they have not accomplished much.

For all the things I've done that normal society considers "accomplishments" (learning to play piano, winning in competitive chess and sports, etc) none, I think, have been as good (for the world and long-term me) as the direct effects of my charitable donations to cost-effective charities. I'm 36 now, so maybe I'll have a midlife crisis in the future (I'm still young); even if I didn't have those accomplishment, I don't think I'll be able to wallow in "I've not accomplished much" when I know I prevented many many people from getting malaria (and all the negatives that accompany it).

So I'm pretty sure that "mitigate" can happen, even if not "prevent". And the phrase you use "necessarily follows" might mean you're being rather stringent, but that seems to me too-high a filter to accept good advice ;)

My preferred debug method is to have a program that I run to verify that it misbehaves. Then I remove some part of the source code, rerun it and verify that it still misbehaves. If it doesn't misbehave, I reinstate the removed code and I remove a part of the reinstated code that I suspect is misbehaving and then I rerun the program. This continues until I have found the offending line, at which point fixing the bug usually becomes trivial. Debuggers are nigh useless in this workflow.

I do use a lot of analysis tools like Valgrind which imho are way more useful than debuggers. Linters and static analysis tools can also be really useful for early bug detection.
The zealot's standard rejoinder is that everything is political. See, also, you're either with us or against. What contemporary liberal politics has brought to the table is "science" that purports to show a simple, direct link between rhetorical opposition or even mere abstention, and directly consequential, imminent harm. See, e.g., claims re trans-gender suicides, or just today insinuations that compromises made in the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act will kill minorities--https://www.npr.org/2022/08/17/1117725655/the-spending-bill-...

These are liberal analogs to, e.g., conservative claims about the how Civil Rights Act would directly lead to blacks and latinos raping and murdering whites, or in more recent years similar insinuations (and sometimes outright claims) regarding border controls. When you can draw a straight line between abstract policy preferences and the imminent death of an untold number of people, dissension becomes intolerable. Most people tend to agree with that sentiment on its face--that's why political rhetoric so often regresses to such stark terms--the sticking point is what that line looks like, if it even exists at all.

EDIT: I keep forgetting that the misuse of science is nothing new, so liberals aren't actually bringing anything new to the table in that regard. Of course science (certainly poor science, yet sadly mostly only in hindsight generally recognized as pseudo-science or non-science, e.g. Social Darwinism) was used to justify those example conservative claims, as well countless similarly specious claims from across the political spectrum going as far back as one cares to look, but particularly after empiricism displaced both institutional religion and rationalism as the fount of categorical truths.
Peer shaming. It’s incredibly effective but hard to do in a society without a common, prescribed culture.

More awareness of the various possibilities of this need to occur.

I recall when this was happening to me in 2017 many people on forums like this wouldn't believe me, choosing to blame the victim instead of the person that made a choice in trying to create a victim. I'm all for some level of agency amongst people to not be a victim, but in the order of diagnosis of the problem this email header issue should be put more highly up on the list.
Is it photons in -> (new) photons out? Or the same ones reoriented?
Saying they crossed a line or even declaring something extreme doesn't mean I can't see or understand their side. Let's bring it back to my example: I understand and see why Russians think they are fighting a just war. If possible, I would want a peaceful diplomatic solution and being open to talks is the first step. That however doesn't mean that they aren't occupying an extremist position.

I think me, labeling one side extreme, implied they should be ignored or shunned etc. This is not the case. I only labeled them extreme.
It doesn’t have to be that way. 10 years since Go 1 and almost all Go programs written then will run correctly, unchanged, against Go 1.19. It takes a lot of effort but the effort pays off big time. Any programming language that wants to survive the test of time should push hard on maintaining compatibility imo.

I think people lost interest in Perl because Python was just a better language for a lot of people’s use cases (and arguably a lot less mysterious). And the focus on Perl 6 (now Raku) arguably distracted a lot of people from Perl 5 and then took too long to mature. (At least that’s how it looked from my outside perspective.)

> Using Facebook has been scientifically demonstrated to cause depression

Not to say that this line is wrong, but that the evidence for this claim is far from conclusive. The findings from such studies are mixed, partly due to differences in how variables are operationalised.

I believe your interaction with digital technology can be a main driver of depression, but not in the way it's being framed. My psychologist (back when I was suicidal and in a strong depressive episode) told me, that I should have at least 20 minutes of face-to-face conversation to day. That I should go outside and find meaningful contacts, goals, and sense in life. I believe that a lot of people, who sit in front of their computer the whole day are missing this. It doesn't matter what medium you consume as much as what you're actually missing. The few girls which I met during therapy were mainly on tumblr, discord, instagram. I didn't use fb either. Welp, even HN didn't keep depression away!

Having at least a 20 minute long face-to-face convo per day was honestly a great helper, besides the full-time therapy to stop my head thinking, and pills, of course.

Just my two cents to this line. I agree with the other comments about non-chronological feeds being lousy. The article is really trying to push negative emotion towards facebook.

I'm wondering if you shouldn't have different rules for hardware than for software? For instance, what if somebody told him Apple had patented indented buttons and he couldn't use them? I see lots of good improvement ideas here in the comments.

Actually tooling up all these parts will cost him $100,000 before a single person can "try" one - so obviously he needs all the suggestions he can get before that stage.

Or, maybe "Show HN" is just better suited for software?
The root problem IMO is Meta jamming all of VR through a social network ("Metaverse") framing, when it should be segmenting it into separate "VR productivity" and "VR gaming" products that people might actually want.[1]

This is also why the West generally supported or stayed quiet about the violent coup that took out the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's only democratically elected government. We value liberalism even if it's at the point of a gun over democracy.
I agree. The fonts don't bother me so much as the ISO layout does, and even that's kind of a "meh" and something I likely wouldn't care about so much as the otherwise clean styling and the fact it's projected to have some features I like (Bluetooth, low profile, mechanical switches, etc).

Truthfully, from a quick search it appears that the Kailh low profile switches are reasonably easy to find key caps for. I like blank keyboards (uh, don't ask), so I'd probably just buy some blank caps and replace the ones that it comes with. I had to do that with some of the keys on my Das anyway because the stems broke after < 1 year of use, and I've been contemplating PBT key caps for a while.

To each his own! I'd probably buy this, if I were honest.
I would argue that it's the subject that should have an associated optimal way of being taught. For the same reason you don't teach a sport by reading the rule book on day 1, you don't build a strong foundation in math without going through the fundamental proofs. Taking physics taught me that intuition is not very reliable.
At least he can ride a bike.
Yeah the database ultimately guarantees that. This lets us distribute the fact that a connection exists (in the form of a PID) so that we don't have to go back to the db on every connection request. This helps quite a bit in the case of a lot of connections coming in very quickly, especially when those connections are geographically far from the database or the database is under load from some other system.

If no connection exists yet, you're right, two connections could try to establish themselves at the same time. In which case, whoever gets to the db first wins. But then the loser is still connected to PubSub, so they'll now start getting changes just the same.

I broadly agree with your post, however, the "Unrestricted competition" as you define would only work in a vacuum.
Company growing too big is creating restrictions for other companies - from being able to lobby government to increase regulation of the area they operate in, so that the barrier to enter the market is getting set higher and higher for new companies or ensure that the tax system is limiting the growth of companies that could in future become a competition.
Other examples I can think of is when a big corporation is buying up the entire supply of parts that other businesses need to build their products. So a single whale move can wipe out entire sectors (that's how chip shortage is affecting small and medium business).
So your definition of free market for me is like a great function that works very well, but crashes under edge cases.
I think Snap is just experimenting with random different product concepts more to see what happens and learn about their customers rather than to build durable product lines. This drone was way outside their core market (social media advertising), and although it had some innovative features it's unlikely they could compete with DJI in the long run.
I often come up with test cases (just the cases, not the actual logic) while writing the feature. However I am never in the mood to context switch to write the test, so I'll do the bare minimum. I'll flip over to the test file and write the `it()` boilerplate with the one-line test title and flip back to writing the feature.

By the time I've reached a point where the feature can actually be tested, I end up with a pretty good skeleton of what tests should be written.

There's a hidden benefit to doing this, actually. It frees up your brain from keeping that running tally of "the feature should do X" and "the feature should guard against Y", etc. (the very items that go poof when you get distracted, mind you)
That’s totally different to republishing something for free.
At 35 I have somewhat limited liquid savings, but decided this year to just stop taking a wage and selling my time in totality. I’m quickly building up the passive income to survive/thrive through recurring subscription software. I’m surviving and I have complete control of my own time, and am figuring out how to work with others in ways that preserve that for them too (wouldn’t want to work with people entrapped in wage labor by my own control anyway). this feels much more certain and freeing than managing % returns on wage labor investment and “career”
How do you discover people in this system, though?

And at the end of the day, there has to be some kind of server somewhere. Even if it's using SMS or DNS or something to accomplish this.
The article tries to make the reader feel bad about Facebook by pointing out how the site can create negative emotions. However, the author does not seem to be aware of the fact that he is doing the same thing.
And then you realize that you're using this incredible and very temporary opportunity to sit in a chair for most of your waking hours, for decades in a row.

Beats the hell out of scratching out a subsistence living. That ain't gonna afford me much of any opportunity other than scratching at the ground and hoping the locusts don't eat it. Anything beyond that, and we're just arguing about the degree of technology that we're comfortable with. That doesn't sound nearly as noble, I suppose, but I always thought Thoreau was kinda full of it anyway.

So you do you, but I'm smack in the middle of midlife, and I'm having no crisis at all.
I'm not trying to sell anything. I'm reporting you an anecdote that I'm a practicing software engineer, I've been professionally writing code for almost a decade and I do use TDD when I write code. I don't care if you do or do not.
Incredibly unlikely that we’d see a current Apple employee comment on their work on an upcoming project on here.
> If we identify monopolists using bottom-line approach, then Apple will be a clear monopolist.

Per the parent, the challenge is to convince governments to take your proposed approach. Repeating the argument to try to convince a HN crowd is not just non-productive, but counter-productive if it doesn't move toward this goal.

Taking away property and/or converting investments into a utility when a business becomes too successful results in a lot of nasty byproducts and most governing bodies will shy away from this.

Instead, you likely see the issue completely side-stepped. Nobody truly cares about labelling Apple a monopoly or declaring iOS to be a somehow accepted as a market onto itself - they want a change in behavior.

The challenge is how to side-step this when per the letter of the law, they have literally done nothing wrong. For instance, the EU will likely get a lot of pressure due to new regulations being solely against US-headquartered countries for the primary benefit of companies in the EU.
