> Nowadays, we think of Airports as being the doorways to whole new worlds

I have a habit of parking on the top floors of parking garages for the views. A few months back, I was parked on the top floor of PHX at night waiting to pick up a friend. I sat and watched the planes depart and arrive for 45 minutes or so. From my angle, they were quite small and I was able to take in several runways of activity simultaneously. Looking to the left there were constellations of aircraft lining up to approach the runways.

The scale of "Sky Harbor" was lost on me until that moment, watching these aircraft come to port. Some passenger planes, some cargo, all connecting distant lands. It felt like watching a shipyard. And then I realized the awe I felt at the progress of humanity was probably on-par with someone standing in a shipyard circa 1650. And the relative antiquity we feel towards them in 1650 will be felt towards us in 2300. What they had wasn't any more antiquity than what I have - we both sit at the pinnacle of human civilization so far staring forward into the potential.

Not sure where this ramble is going - but thank you for sharing your story and throwing me back to that moment.
They could have had that number of jobs by building out rooftop solar or other beneficial projects.
No there can't. It absolutely is black and white.

Funny that a perfectly reasonable comment is downvoted to the max because folks here can't deal with an objective truth that goes against their beliefs "US bad Muh Europe good".
On one system I saw, it is shown to the service rep but it's required to ask again to confirm. Other larger system only route you to proper service rep which would probably be on the other side of the planet and using a different system to service your support call.
I think you have too much faith in humanity…more like glasses to remove the virtual clothes.

Sitting at a desk works because you can have any materials that help you in your programming right at your fingertips, whether that be a pen and paper for making quick notes or diagrams, or a calculator on-screen, or a web-page open at StackOverflow, or a man-page, etc, etc.

Planning and Thinking on the other hand, can be performed anywhere: at 3AM in bed, in the toilet, in a shower, while driving even.

I'd like to have seen some transparency, e.g. post redacted examples of the content that caused this conclusion.
So? Go and make this point to the original poster.
I don’t think companies just get to decide to be a utility company anyway. It is clearly a play to disregard responsibility. If governments started treating them like a utility and started requiring things like free services to people who don’t make a certain amount of money or price caps you bet your ass they would fight it tooth and nail.

They're still stuck with the union contract. Even if they join the union, a vote on the contract is not the same as a choice.

If union contracts only applied to people who voluntarily joined the union, then it might be fair.
We can't know, because Cloudflare provided no evidence (e.g. redacted examples) to justify their decision.
A lot of software being written is to solve the "problem" of humans doing repetitive/simple work that can be automated. Interesting to ponder that say a year of development may prevent tens of thousands of man hours of staff being paid for their time. This trend causes life to be less and less personal whereby we might have interaction with another person for simple things like groceries and banking being completely replaced with tapping on a screen and occasional frustration as every company has their own custom UI that has to be understood to interact with the business' processes.
Either way, it doesn't make much sense to expect a 'clapback' so much as a statement like

> Some users would prefer tradeoffs other than those Homebrew has selected with its defaults. Happily, such users can take steps as outlined in this guide, and use Homebrew on a way more to their liking.
You got the name wrong. And the attack was against the GNAA "i'm a nazi" president and online shock-racist employed at Cloudflare at that time, nothing to do with their later death which is none of our business. It was also to remind that Weev claims there is a different GNAA-adjacent sympathizer employed at Cloudflare who is a personal ally to Stormfront.

Actually there are studies suggesting that letting known child molesters access to child porn cartoons reduces recidivism.

Decent review of some of the evidence:

So you're re-implementing the entire BEAM? I think you should make that clearer in the blog post.
Yeah, I still cannot get over that answer.

I mean, Fraunhofer is a major German research org and it should be in their business to promote such solutions. To fire something like this out, in front of the people who definitely attended those universities, that was shocking.

To this day I don’t know if I was simply naive or if my question was stupid in any way.
The point is that the majority of their revenue comes from corporate enterprise. This is one reason Ballmer didn’t understand the iPhone: his customers (corporate IT) wanted the windows phone but no actual users did.

> But are you really arguing that the government leaning on people is worse than it would be for them to just outright force people to censor content?

Not the poster, but-- I'm not so sure either way. Both are pretty bad. The government convincing private parties to do their bidding while acting like it's just the private sector making choices blinds us all to what's happened, and gives the illusion that the decision to squash the speech is a popular, voluntary one by individual actors.

So, the government forcing it is directly more harmful but at least it is visible.
Databases have schema that can change (understood without having to scan content) and indexes - beyond trivial ones like "name; content" and "order written to disk".
From the Middle Ages through to the 17th century, Europeans depicted Moors as being black,[1] and referred to them as such. Black Africans were also called Moors and "blackmoors" during the same periods. Ignorant European royalty, courtesans, craftsmen, and peasants did not discriminate between foreign cultures: they were racist against all of them.

It’s also possible that a few of us are/were musicians.

Most of the engineers in my department were at least amateur bards. A couple were more than that. I am no longer a musician, but I used to play a pretty mean bass (and rocked the silliest mullet you’ve ever seen). I still have my Rick (and my Carvin amp), and the neck is still true.

Might want to reconsider the nasty in that comment. I find that Respect and Kindness pay dividends, and I consider this to be a professional venue. Not the place to be showing my ass.
There was a better choice - do what they did, AND THEN JUSTIFY IT - show the court of public opinion redacted samples about why they took this action.
I'm not familiar with kiwi farms besides hearing the noise about them periodically and second hand accounts of them doing this or that, but I'll be candid here, how I feel about it really depends on what they mean by "weirdos." If they're just harassing trans people or whatever I can understand the outrage. If they're exposing child predators on discord (I've heard this said in this thread, don't know if it's true or not) I wouldn't say I'm unsympathetic.
What? Cloudflare picks who to ignore every day. Nearly everybody that has a public email address has to decide who to ignore every day. What is so important about Cloudflare’s “feelings”?
The Scoop: Netflix’s historic introduction of levels for software engineers
I agree this happens at places with a toxic management culture (one could argue that almost all management culture is toxic).

This can however work in places that are (truly) leadership focused where you A) fail fast and B) clearly outline your intention to accept failure as part of the process of improvement.
I'm basically happy right now with private companies being the de facto moderator of speech because your alternative of government censorship is unacceptably risky to people's freedoms, and private companies are doing a decent enough job at it as is.
True or false: Palestinian Muslims who had homes prior to 1947 today no longer have access or rights to those homes
It’s unsavory to me insofar that it completely ignores the comment being replied to which doesn’t mention revolutions at all, doesn’t refute or even acknowledge any of the points, and the lack of anything other than the quote comes across as very smarmy with a touch of “destroying X with facts and logic”/“lol gottem!”.
That’s debatable.

I also believe that it’s better to let 10 criminals get away with it than it is to wrongly convict 1 innocent person. And I’m fairly sure that all the innocent people who were unfortunate enough to go through the court system would agree with me.

Also, not every crime must have a victim. There are a million victimless crimes.

Yes, it’s also debatable whether those should even be crimes (in my opinion - no), but the argument that 1 crime = at least 1 victim is flat out false.
We lived with manual bindings to interface with C for years. Building in direct support for C itself is a huge leap forward in usability. In several ways it's even better than C++'s support for C.

Being gay isn't a mental illness, and it isn't the same thing as reality TV. The LGBT community is, at present, an easy target. There are also a large number of LGBT people who struggle with mental illness (shocking in a society where KiwiFarms exists, I know), and mentally ill people are also easy targets.
On the other hand, "German overengineering" (the mechanical side) is also a thing. Not as in built with huge margins and robustness, but intricate and overly complex.
Actually I think Cloudflare holds the DNS names for the .net name, as well as possibly others. The reason I think this is because they are DNSSEC validated, and the .ru name does not have DNSSEC.
The reasons for teams to choose serverless approaches (easy, “no devops”, frontend languages on the backend) seems culturally incompatible with the sort of truly hard up-front design work required to make operations idempotent. For example, it’s not trivial to avoid duplicates when handling HTTP POST operations in the presence of retries under load conditions even with a relational ACID compliant database supporting the effort.

So, while I find myself adamantly in agreement with the presenter —- idempotency is great, I don’t have much hope for the broader adoption of these ideas in driving meaningful improvements towards correctness. Serverless systems seem fated to approach Excel workbook levels of accuracy- it’ll work most of the time.

With the exception of things that can be trivially idempotent like pure referentially transparent functions and ffmpeg/image processing, of course.
Words can't cause physical harm though. Only actions can.

Maybe it's possible to game archive.ph, but seems more likely this person's humor has a consistent strongly misogynistic theme. Very happy to see a site causing actual suicides taken down, but the champion of the campaign doesn't come across as any kind of hero

It's also interesting to juxtapose comments here against the fact it was so easy to find the original thread on Google.
Right...because someone who went through 4 year of a computer science program and doesn't know anything about any software development life cycle (Agile was just one example) sure shows a lot of passion & initiative to explore outside of what's taught in school or outside their comfort zone. Exactly the type of person to hire.
So, does Cloudflare in this blogpost actively asking governments to take a more active role in moderation decisions across the board make it more likely for the scenario you're describing to happen, or less likely?

We can disagree about which outcome is worse or about whether they're equivalent, but other than that disagreement it doesn't sound like you're arguing that Cloudflare is being prudent or helping advance freedom of speech when it asks governments to make these decisions for it.
Japan sees software as "blue collar" because they put software in everything. e.g. toilets, which basically nobody else on earth does.

There is no such counter on Kiwifarms - at most they’ve front paged claims (totally unsourced and totally unfounded) by Keffals and others that KF has caused three or more suicides.

A reminder, by the way, that Keffals has used her platform to promote the use of DIY HRT by minors. (https://t.co/4dnauozhuS) KF was the first to find evidence of Keffals flirting with underage trans children in her discord (known as her Femboy Ranch) and, despite my dislike of KF, her campaign seems mostly committed to memory holing these events.
I don't mean shitting in the streets. I mean that if you go to a town of 20 people, you're going to get one lane streets, potholes, people winning mayoral elections because their family voted, more pigs than people, lack of water treatment, etc. There are people in the far north of Norway that herd reindeer, live semi nomadically in yurts. This is not significantly different from how khazakh people live. Once you get rural, the distinction between first and third world becomes much much less evident.
Why national security of course.

This is the future, but they're doing it backwards.

Start at the top with sqlite compiled to webassembly as a virtual machine and prove that the tabular paradigm is superior to the scalar, vector, and object paradigms.

It'll be more fun that way.

The way that webassembly and wasi are designed to not fall back on unix tradition creates the opening to escape from the traditional files, streams, and objects universe.

It was built on BASIC – and it really took off at a time (late 1970s / early 1980s) when BASIC was still a very major programming language.

I think its database features have been somewhat overhyped – but no doubt an area of strength when compared to other lower-end systems of the same time period.

The fact that the OS, programming language and database were all a single software package, developed together and sold as a unit, attracted people.

Much of its initial success was also due to its marketing strategy – target ISVs who would resell it as the basis of turnkey solutions.

It was based on a virtual machine, which made it easy to port to disparate hardware platforms – everything from PCs, to multiple incompatible minicomputer lines, to IBM mainframes – a key selling point in its day – although not a unique approach (see UCSD Pascal). Other approaches to portability – such as the C programming language – hadn't really taken off yet.
Were said comedians, popular politicians, writers, and journalist calling for immediate violent acts and intimidation of others.

If yes, then I believe they should be censored.

If no, , then they should not.

Authoritarians will use both arguments at the same time, they have no problem with hypocrisy. They will threaten you with violence, and demand their violence be published, while with the slights of those they do not like demand censorship.

Calls for violence must not be tolerated, for if they are civil society cannot exist.
At the end of the day I think it’s a net positive
Experience, preparation, and mindfulness.

Experience. Nobody who talks in front of people a lot has not horribly bombed. It is almost a right of passage. After you bomb a few times and realize you are still alive, the fear of bombing gets turned down a little.

Preparation. Preparation builds confidence. When you are prepared, (1) you are confident, and (2) your body knows what to do even if your mind goes blank. When you are well prepared you only need to get yourself into the groove / pattern that you established in your prep, and your reflexes will handle the rest.

Mindfulness. The daily practice of being able to control your thoughts and emotions, exist in the moment, etc helps a lot when things get intense.

If you don’t feel some nerves in a big moment then you are not alive. Embrace it, be in the moment, trust your preparation, get to your spot / groove, and then let your preparation take over and do the rest.
A computer program can simulate the known chemically-relevant physical laws, including quantum mechanics.

No, I'm saying that the article states that waterfall, _as is used today_, was misattributed to the coiner, and that's about all it says. That doesn't mean that waterfall doesn't exist and it certainly doesn't prove that the agile folks invented waterfall to have something hate on.
Shipped food are bred for monocropping and transport. Tomatoes in grocery stores, for example, are chosen for its uniform shape and ability to be stored and transported. They are not bread for taste or nutritional value. That is also leaving aside having to depend on the global supply chain and cheap transport for food. Which is more costly and fragile than developing local food sources and food sovereignty.
If no mother had a child after the age of 25 you'd also see a significant drop in Down Syndrome rates with a similar effect to abortions (although obviously not the 100% which abortions could in theory achieve). Effectively that would be doing the same thing except without the controversy of abortion but few would call that eugenics. What's the difference? Would people say it's bad if the rate of Down Syndrome decreased because mothers were younger?

HN as a website allows many unpopular opinions to be expressed, but a minority of users will flag just about any unpopular opinion. If two (three?) people flag the same comment, it disappears for most users and is marked [flagged] [dead]. Some small population of HN users browse with "showdead: yes" (apparently you've already done this?). If you have enough "karma" (500?) you can "vouch" to revive a topic that has been flagged. Some users regularly do this, and over time, most (but not all) polite and constructive comments end up revived.

As a new user, there's not a lot you can do about this, other than posting your own polite and constructive comments, even if they go against the dominent narrative. If you come across a particularly good comment you think was unfairly flagged that isn't revived soon after, you can quote it and repost to call attention to it. Or you can email Dan (hn@ycombinator.com) and point it out to him. He can be slow to respond, and won't always do what you want, but he'll usually give you an honest answer if he doesn't.
I upvote any new language post I see because I find them very interesting and want more of them. The nice thing about HN is you can just scroll past posts you don't find interesting. The "tons of other CS topics" are also discussed on HN.
Actually it's about the fact that you don't want to spend the money to enforce an AUP, like just about every other ISP does. Instead you want someone else to make the that system for you. Every printer gets to decide if they want to print Mein Kampf, and most decide that they won't. Movie theaters get to decide if they want to show dirty movies. Liberal society recognizes human interactions beyond the merely legal.

What you're saying is you're fine hosting harassment until it gets bad enough for a court to finally intervene and order it offline. But Kiwifarms was already banned in New Zealand for hosting a snuff film showing innocent people getting slaughtered for their religion. I'm not sure what exactly you wanted: a US court issuing an order that would almost certainly be unconsitutional prior restraint? An obscenity prosecution?

Society has decided that it's your choice what kinds of speech the company you control enables, and you've decide to tell us that you're going to pretend it isn't. Well, it is. Those sites are up on Cloudflare, because you want them to be, and nothing you say is going to change that reality.
> But yes, on top of that, there's the question that in the end even the DB will need something very, very much like a filesystem between them and the storage hardware

So the answer to this question is no. The “filesystem” that a relational database uses - ie how it organizes and allocates on the block layer is so different from the DOS/POSIX semantics that you wouldn’t recognize it as a filesystem - so to say it is very, very much like a filesystem is dubious.
AirPods used to be weird. That’s how quickly it changes.

I’m an Apple fanboy and would queue up for a toaster if they released one and I had second thoughts about the AirPods cos of the look but bought them anyway and the utility was such that I wore them anyway and and then they took off.

Apple can move the zeitgeist. Very few brands have that power.
