This is one of the things I happen to agree with you. :)

If we take comptime feature away, Zig is basically Modula-2 (1978) with friendlier syntax for folks with C background.

Everything else in terms of security Modula-2 did better (yes it did have null pointers, but supports null checking).

And the tagging mechanisms for use-after-free are anyway available for C and C++ compilers for at least 20 years (Insure++, PurifyPlus and VC++ 6.0 debug allocator being part of the first ones).
It's GWP over 100 years. This is stated in the source: "We estimate the hydrogen GWP(100) [ie, over a 100-year period] to be 11 ± 5; a value more than 100% larger than previously published calculations." In the past, I've seen ranges between 4.3 and 5.8 for the GWP over 100 years for hydrogen mentioned in articles.

There are numerous studies on the NOx levels produced by combusting hydrogen in air and they all show levels much higher than those associated with methane (and methane NOx emissions are already recognised to be be health threatening in urban environments) because hydrogen burns at a higher temperature which promotes the formation of nitrogen oxides.
Considering what percentage of tech workers in the West and therefore on this forum are of Asian heritage I doubt there is much brainwashing going on beyond the typical lack of knowledge on culture or history and so on.

I built zellij (rust tmux clone) recently. 193 dependencies that cargo downloaded. When did rust turn into javascript? Are there supply chain attacks in Rust?
> The point is you can NOT outcompete Amazon on that as a smaller company.

It looks to me that AWS only has around 30% of the cloud market, and CloudFlare is outcompeting AWS in some market segments oddly enough due to things like CloudFlare Worker's, which are developed from the V8 engine which is as FLOSS as it gets.

It looks like behind the thin veil of a badly formed "unfair competition" argument, there's only an irrational concern that revenue should be tied to rights to access software developed by a third-party.

These days it's always hard to say how much of the hype in areas like supply chain security is driven by the problem actually becoming worse and how much is due to VC funded startups with enormous marketing budgets that try to convince everyone of the nearing apocalypse (but no worries, their tools can save us).

Looking at integrated vulnerability reporting as found e.g. in npm (and soon Golang, I think) it seems that 99 % of alerts are just false positives, as they affect build dependencies (e.g. the tar library) somewhere down the chain that will never run in production or even touch anything sensitive, and that cannot be easily exploited even by sophisticated actors. In my opinion the "high severity" threat category is thrown around way too lightly by these tools, which leads to everyone panicking.

If anything good could come out of this whole trend it might be the realization that open-source software needs better funding to address supply chain issue, my expectation though is that most of the money will go to tool vendors that simple tape over the underlying problems by creating an artificial "security layer" between the maintainers and users.

> What makes a good REPL?

1. copy-paste of code with spaces must work

2. decent history handling (arrows to go up and down, Ctrl+R to search, it could be better with a fish-shell-like history handling)

3. syntax highlighting of returned values

4. reusage of results (in Ruby irb, _ points to the last returned value)

5. source code reloading

6. source code exploring (in Ruby pry, something.source returns the source of the code)
Ultimately if your language supports constructing strings from untrusted input + a query language, you have an injection problem. The question is mostly one of scope. As an example, CQL doesn't have nearly the same power of SQL, and so an injection is just not as big of a deal - it's still possible, and in some cases it could be bad, but it's not nearly the same kind of primitive as SQL.

Similarly, removing primitives would probably solve a lot of injection use cases, but if someone does something insane like inject DESC into their query, it's over.

Because SQL is so powerful it's really just up to the libraries to try to help where they can, we'll never truly be rid of injection vulns as they're fundamental to any program that treats data as code.

Technically the current title is not false.
Had the same issue when I hired a software developer intern to train. I didn't wait one extra minute to tell them about the issue after I saw the bathroom, and discussed with them why this was not acceptable at all. They kinda changed their habit, but I eventually let them go due to incompetency reasons.

Edit: Typo
It can add up quickly if you use a couple of libraries and also have to license the OS and perhaps other software. Some proprietary software companies can be quite aggressive with what they consider as cores, e.g. if you have a large VMWare Cluster they consider every single CPU of that cluster for license costs, not just the ones the software runs on - because you could potentially scale the system up or down or do a live migration.

I'm not sure how that would even work with cloud providers, at the worst you would have to pay for the max number of cores you have used in a year (however, it's not even clear what a core is in that context with SMT and preemptable cores).

Same with C++. Dependencies were boost, qt, gtk, and a few others and that was pretty much it. Since vcpkg, cmake, conan, and a few others, the C++ "ecosystem" has started growing far more in the last 10 years, than in the previous 20.

It may be that they changed the algorithm to work better for people who are not me. It may be that the algorithm choked on its own feedback (once listening patterns influenced by Discover Weekly started influencing Discover Weekly). Or maybe it just plain ran out of stuff to recommend me, having picked all the low hanging fruit (from its understanding of my taste).

It's also a bit conspicuous that DW was at its best when Sander Dielemann and Aäron van den Oord were interns working on it. Both went on to write some pretty great machine learning papers, and both were snapped up by Google/Deepmind.
There's no point pretending you know what people's motivations are. Conservatives I've read/heard seem to generally want similar outcomes, but disagree drastically on the methods.
It is vastly more cost effective to build electric transmission lines instead of gas pipelines, and crack hydrogen at the point of use.

Furthermore, the desert is a lousy place to put solar panels. They get hot and dusty, making them inefficient and shortening their life. The best places are floating on water, and sharing pasture and crop land. Spain, Italy, and Greece have plenty of room for such solar. Portugal, too, and former Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria.

Nukes will shortly be unable to produce competitive power, and will be mothballed except where taxpayers are forced to subsidize them.
Too bad it will be discontinued soon then.
Or people do realise the risk and are balancing the risk of speed of dev with the likelihood of something going wrong (and them being blamed for it). Imperfect systems often produce a lot of value, even if it means playing a game of spinning plates to keep it going. It's very possible that the value produced by this system overshadows the lost value from an ocassional black swan event as a result of the systems failure modes.
I've been poor, and no one would let me have even one bank account. On payday, two trucks would pull into the factory parking lot. One would cash my check (for 4% of it), and the other would sell me snow cones and hot dogs.

In the last few weeks I read several stories here on HN with the same pattern: "company X blocked my/our account and refuses to give any explanation". Just a few examples of X: Google, Oracle, Citibank, and now PayPal.

I would wager that the PHP standard lib isn't all that comprehensive, but it doesn't suffer anywhere near as much from nesting dependencies. I think the culture is that a library takes care of itself for the most part.
Many times I've found myself in situations like 'yak shaving'. To do this I first have to do that, and to do that I have to do some other thing, thus falling into a never ending stream of tasks that make me lose focus of my original goal. It seems to me something very common while performing unexpectedly complex jobs.

My point however is not to discuss this. What bothers me, and only a little, is the label chosen to describe situations such as these. Why 'yak shaving' and not something else?

I mean, the Ren & Stimpy connection is meaningful for the author, and that's ok. But if every time I want to refer to it I have to explain why it's named as such, or even explain who Ren & Stimpy are, maybe I'll be better served by some other, perhaps more appropriate label.

Calling it 'Going down the rabbit hole' is no doubt better, at least to me, but not completely. This expression captures a different mood, namely that of finding ever more connections in an endless stream that does not necessarily make me forget my original goal. For instance, while writing a paper, many times I find myself going down the rabbit hole, ending up with these monstrous footnotes that try to record how deep that rabbit hole goes. But when that is done, I go back to the main topic and move on.

So what could I call it other than 'yak shaving' or 'going down the rabbit hole'? I'm open to suggestions.
No, they're worried that single-payer would increase healthcare costs and/or decrease quality. They might be wrong, but that's not why they'd be worried.
Apart from the financial part, whether that's interesting as an option depends what you enjoy more:

creating a business from scratch, or running and evolving a business.

$5 doesn't pay rent, nor will it buy much food. If your main account gets closed, you probably won't get your next pay check because it takes time to switch the direct deposit. If you get something like disability, it might leave you a month without money.

You can be poor without debt, btw: I do not include debt in with poverty. Debt amount doesn't reflect your quality of life (though garnished wages sometimes might hint at it).
The difference between plebs' and bosses' seating arrangements.

If plebs get second hand, barely functional chairs/desks, hand-me-downs as computing equipment and insufficient lighting while bosses get a corner office and a $10K desk, it's pretty clear who they value and who they don't, which normally also extend to how seriously the plebs' opinions/suggestions are taken.
A third option would be: just not grow.
First up, to get a product like LibreOffice for nothing is amazing.

The real issue I suspect is - who needs to create "documents" any more? I use Calc without any issues to do spreadsheet stuff, but have never needed to share one with anyone else. Writer, not for years. People often work on things they want to use, so getting commitment might be getting more difficult.

My question is, assuming you are not a business, what do you use LibreOffice for?
> e invest many times per capita what other countries put into basic medical research

This is a big thing. I'm in the UK, where healthcare is very socialised, but I very much appreciate the fact that the US invests in making and productionising the next generation of healthcare, which we can then buy in bulk at a discount.

Actually are correct, they are government owned corporations. There is SingHealth and the NUHS system. But they are corporations, with boards of directors, which is entirely intentional since the government wants "private" competition between providers to drive efficiency.

I think "npm bad" is a lazy take.

• There used to be a focus on attacking endpoints directly, but eventually OSes, browsers, and servers stopped being easy targets, so attackers looked for another way in.

• OS (especially Linux) distributors acted as gatekeepers. Getting into a distro requires having some reputation, and the risk of getting caught with a backdoor is a deterrent (although I don't think distros are as much of security barrier as people assume, since maintainers already have too much work to do and their source code review is at best at "LGTM" level).

• New tooling gave more visibility into dependencies. Transitive and build-time dependencies in precompiled libraries typically aren't visible, so it's easy to think you have one or two deps, but transitively there are still tons of them: https://wiki.alopex.li/LetsBeRealAboutDependencies

• Exploits became easier to monetize. Thanks to crypto miners and crypto wallets any exploit is almost a direct payout. Way easier and safer than trying to sell a botnet, adware or even stolen CC numbers, so it lowered barriers to entry to this "business" as well as made it more attractive.
> "Hydrogen is the ultimate clean energy."

This is a lie pushed by oil companies. First it is incorrect because hydrogen is not a natural energy source, it is a way to store energy. But above all, currently the vast majority of hydrogen is made by steam cracking methane or other hydrocarbons, which is a process that releases CO2. You can think of hydrogen production + hydrogen use as a combustion with additional steps. And since the hydrogen supply chain is very inefficient (hydrogen is very light so you need to compress it a lot to store it, it is a very small molecule so it leaks very easily, and when you use it you need to decompress it so you get more losses due to thermodynamic effects) it turns out as quite bad from the point of view of CO2 emissions. It is just a way to sell more oil.
You seem to have described my home schooling experience to a T. It really was a wonderful way to learn and interact with expert adults in my community. I had a lot of good role models and mentors that I wouldn't have had otherwise.
There is no Thor, Odin nor any other character in lotr, there is no direct referencing to any other works (ie talking wholesale of anything) afaik.

Tolkien used a some of lesser character from norse mythology and completely rewrote its origin, purpose and made him central player in his story.

I think that's completely comparable to lets say: making movie about evil galactic empire, i mean dictatorship with its leader in black costume that has telepathic powers and laser sword... /s

Yes nobody will notice.

There is difference between inspiration, homage, and just ripping off a setting with minimal effort.

Totally agree. Akka was a huge selling point for Scala. It's a huge loss for the ecosystem. Akka isn't "just" a library, it's a programming model. A lot of software is built around that model and it's going to be a painful effort to get rid of it. It made itself irreplaceable and now they're pulling the plug.
Your comments are pretty subjective and you make a lot of assumptions.

I can't say it's the most elegant software I've used but I don't have these problems you're referring to. Microsoft Office has a certain amount of polish but has its own bugs, and I always felt that the UX was implemented in a kind of inconsistent way. I can't say I have a preference for one suite versus another.

I agree with you that I wish there were additional office suites, but that's only because I wish there was more competition in the space in general. I'm not sure any (either?) of the major offerings I really love.

There is recourse. The USA has due process.
What are you even trying to say?

The rules of a blockchain protocol are not immutable, they can and often do change. Users decide to follow the new rules, or they decide not to. The 2016 fork showed that the majority of users and the market chose to follow ETH instead of ETC. In a few days we will probably see another fork, and most likely the majority of users will follow the PoS chain instead of the PoW chain.

The crypto scam point is a good one though. Things are already bad enough and this is an extra weapon in the toolkit of the scammers.

> Are we really going to rehash the same, tired argument that only STEM majors are useful to society?

It seems so, since it's hard for people to admit that an average STEM graduate is much more useful than an average humanities graduate. It's not that the humanities aren't useful, they are, but to succeed and actually have an impact on society, you need to be one of the best humanities graduates.

We don't need more psych bachelors grads who took on 10-20x their future annual income in student loans, only to file paperwork in an office for the rest of their lives. There are much better ways for them and for society to spend that money than subsidizing/bailing them out.
