I've used Perl off and on throughout my career, even working at one job that was pretty much exclusively Perl. I've also used Java and C/C++. I've done a lot of work with embedded systems where C was the order of the day.

But back to Perl. I always thought one of the best things about Perl was CPAN. I could nearly always find a module that would accomplish a specific task I needed and then I was just left to write the glue to implement that function (or functions) for my particular needs. I'm surprised CPAN is not mentioned. I wonder if it is still active. I also wonder about security of CPAN in todays environment. I find stuff like pypi and npm to be pretty scary.

I haven't started anything in Perl in quite some time. All the cool kids are using Python so I've been sharpening my skills with that. (But it's all hobby projects these days.)

There are many things (more than monarchy) that sets Americans and UK apart... even Europe generally.

Europeans civilization are 1000s of years old, America is a baby compared to them, the history and memory are very different.
How the hell are we supposed to make solar panels if we aren't allowed to bootstrap a green energy source from not awesome energy sources?

I guess we should just stop all forward progress and let the world stagnate, overheat, and die because some silly people don't understand things need to be bootstrapped
>... it's not uncommon for ketamine addicts to piss blood AIUI.

I had no idea this was a thing until the morning after I woke up from my first time partying around people who were using it. Someone took a leak and I hear, "Hah! Yep, there's the good ol' orange K piss," and I couldn't help but be surprised that it sounded like they were laughing at the fact they were pissing blood.

I should clarify - nothing against ketamine in small doses recreationally, just take care of yourself.
The point I made was not really about monarchy, but about comment quality on HN. Low-information, high-indignation comments—such as repetition of well-worn political points—is the classic low-quality case that we're most hoping to avoid here. Especially because they tend to evoke even worse from others.

Don't worry too much about for money. From what I know, the royal family brings in far more in taxes on merch / tv coverage rights / other revenues than it takes to sustain them. They also have a considerable estate which is likely profitable.

The moral of story of leftpad should not have been people use too many dependencies.

It should have been don't arbitrarily grab code from the web for your production apps. If you had any form of caching where a validated library (i.e. leftpad) would be used for your builds instead of just reaching out everytime then your system wouldn't break. Nor would a random cryptominer get into your app.

--

Libraries should be a good thing in that it's definitely easier to review a line of code for a bug than write that same line bug-free. Of course, people (companies) rarely review the libraries they use (sometimes they physically/legally can't) so there are some outs.
What the hell is wrong with the hn crowd here? Why is everybody picking on that poor guy? Why are all the comments trying to paint the bleakest picture of him without knowing him or his wife? He wants to introduce linux to his wife and she fears that relearning everything will be hard. I'm sure he wont force linux down her throat if she says she can't use it and will gladly install her the OS she wants. I installed my family linux on their PC as well so that I could better support them. Most of them still use it happily and one used linux for a few tasks and windows for others. I couldn't imagine giving my wife windows support, but she still got a windows partition for a few games. Anyway.... Back to the topic

If she does as little with windows as it sounds don't do anything fancy. Give her shortcuts on the desktop or in the favs and enable her to use her PC for what she does without distraction. Introduce the laptop parallel to her old laptop and let her try it first. If she doesn't like it you can dual boot windows or just install her windows.
Don't try to hard making it like windows try making it easy to use.

If you go the windows route don't forget "open shell" and "o&o shutup" are essentials for a minimal migration from win7 to win10. Powertoys are nice as well.
I do not think it is a good idea to assume that a Monarch will always be viewed as having no legitimacy outside of enforcing established norms. While that is certainly the case now, I would not want to rely on that being true forever. After which we would have to rely on benevolence (or perhaps indifference) of undemocratic executive power.

Could we not solve the problem of the PM appointing a lackey as Governor General with other form of check-and-balance that requires zero input from individuals with no connections to a democratic process? Perhaps a similar way that Supreme Court Justices are appointed (candidates recommended by the Prime Minister and approved by the federal cabinet). While not immune to abuses of power, I would like this better than a Monarch being that check-and-balance.

I have to say, this is cool and surreal in some way.

It's just surreal to think of international treaties as being objects with a "last updated time."

Given the massive human apparatus constantly parsing this information from Capitol Hill, I'm not sure what the use-case is for an app, but nonetheless, it's cool.

Now... if we could get this for every state and county legislature, that would enable some interesting use cases to track parallel legislative initiatives (usually advocated by corporations / non-profits).
That was retail in the 90s, but considering inflation that sounds like we're finally getting back to Pickard pricing. My local sources run an order of magnitude higher.

edit, for anyone curious about 90s wholesale: "Government informant Skinner testified that Petaluma Al and the largest wholesale customers of Pickard paid 29 cents per 100 µg dose, which would put the cost at around $2.97 million for a kilogram of LSD."

edit: I'm annoyed by the math used in this quote. They couldn't say $2.9 million or "around" $3 million?

Like all American politicians the POTUS does ultimately answer to the people, but only in an indirect fashion. Directly, the POTUS answers to the States because the States are the ones who elect him.
Telegram is superior anyways to any green or blue bubble so just use that instead.
Several reasons:

1. Finding dependencies with tooling now requires parsing code. Luckily Go's syntax is relatively simple and doesn't have conditional includes like C++ does but it'd be better if you could simply inspect a depedency configuration;

2. You're directly importing potentially untrusted code that will often be of the form "github.io/someuser/reponame" so you now have a depedency on some random user's security practices or even just whims (eg making the repo private; IIRC this has happened in the node.js ecosystem);

3. These aren't versioned. You may want to stick to a particular version. A new version may break your code. You should be able to be explicit about that. Now you can "go get" particular versions but how do you specify that such that someone can just check out your code and build it?

4. Managing your own dependency repo (eg in an enterprise environment) is more limited.

Note that my text was written to not specifically say that you lied, or misinterpreted the situation. my point was "the average observation is not entirely consistent with your anecdote", and "if a person does a crazy thing on drugs, it may not have been the drugs that made them crazy"

(as for credentials- no, no actual medical credentials, but I do have a phd in biophysics [emphasis on drug discovery], and have worked in the field of medical biology for decades). More importantly, my goal is here to avoid the "reefer madness" effect by countering establishment propaganda and college rumors with my read of the scientific literature, and also to raise awareness that mental illness is common and that psychedelic drugs can be a precipitating condition that turns a maintained disease into an emergency.

Where on earth does he say that? There is no shortage of development in any given project. Writing my own http client/server, json parser, html parser, networking IO library, and a whole host of other stuff doesn't help me ship faster. I may experiment with implementations of these things on my own to learn more about them but:

1. Doing my own implementation of any of those things is a large amount of effort that isn't directly relevant to my needs in any given job.

2. My first attempts are going to be buggy and incorrect providing a source of bugs in my system that I didn't need. It would be irresponsible to use them in a work product.

3. I don't learn substantially more about software development doing these. I may learn more about http, or json parsing but I'm doing so at the expense of learning more about my business domain. There is some minimum amount I need to know about these things to do my job. The rest is unnecessary until I run into a situation requiring me to dig deeper. To borrow a Software Architecure truism? YAGNI, You ain't gonna need it.

It is a fact that I am deliberately limiting myself if I force myself to understand every layer of technology I need to leverage in order to do my job rather than specializing. I will always have to delegate some of that to someone else who has the time to go deep enough to provide a robust solution for me. I will also always have a responsibility to go deep on some of those things when it is relevant to my work.

The word "Majesty" holds meaning that few people today contemplate. Her life was lived in complete service to her people, and was inextricably linked to the nation she ruled. That's a relic of a bygone era, and I think we lost something on the way.
There are always going to be cases where the happy path call tree should be abandoned because no useful value meeting requirements is going to be possible. What’s needed is to persuade Go devs to use panics instead of obscuring every function reinventing them by hand.

This would be more useful if it would provide a hint about where the location is. Usually, that's what you need to determine which format is more reasonable.

"Park&Ride" hubs. Rather than having everyone commuting through the same routes and bottlenecking the same roads on rush hour you could drive/cycle/walk to your local suburb hub and catch a train/tram/metro to where you need to go.

There is nothing ground breaking or sci-fi about it. It has been done many times over in several places around the world both dense and sparse.

It just needs political will and budget. The main problem you guys have in the US is how entreched lobbyists are.
Eh, I figured I would get this response but writing software e.g. your IBM, Yahoo, and Microsoft example is much easier and faster to do than building a cutting edge, physical, supersonic commercial jet. To build Google, all you needed was a computer, and a new approach/algorithm to solving web search. Software companies are much easier to disrupt than physical product companies.

As others have pointed out the Tesla isn't a great example either because building a car is still 100x easier to do than building aircraft, let alone supersonic planes.

"Unexpected Insights" and "A new research breakthrough from some other field" seems to be handy wavy. A supersonic jet breakthrough is not something that can be discovered in a dorm room. It requires millions in research and expensive materials to build and test against.
Not only you. It's an identified problem the Knowledge Graph is attempting to solve.

Only one major version. And go considers different major versions to be different dependencies.
With the transfer of the crown to King (Prince) Charles, is there an explainer article that provides a comprehensive information on who is deemed the next in line in multiple scenarios (i.e. assume next in line dies, the heir/heiress are incapable, challenging someone's ascension to the throne, etc).

This would make for a good read and understanding of how the royalty works.

On the topic, I think what Queen Elizabeth has done despite of the challenges within her sovereignty is being a living example on how to rule and govern, without negatively interfering with how the affairs and progress of the state needs to be carried out.
Or the opposite, when glasses can have built in 1440p "augmented reality" oleds, each viewer can have as big of a display, with black pixels, as they want.
I really like this!

Just a subjective thing -- I would consider offering Verdana in a future release, for those (like me) who aren't yet ready to lose that flavor of HN. But all the other adjustments are very desirable to me so far.

Regarding the name: The horse might be out of the barn, but calling this a "modern" HN sounds a bit too much like a value judgment to me, though I doubt you meant it that way (and I doubt anyone at HN really took offense). It also triggers all the curmudgeons who are hellbent against anything "modern" just because it's modern.

Great job!

> every corporation is a monarchy

No... Not at all. Not that many large cap corporations(large capital organizations, not Mom and Pop Inc) have one exclusive owner. None of the publicly traded corporations are monarchies at all.
It isn't in the traditional sense. There isn't anything in its specification that guarantees the things that most people expect lock files to guarantee.

That is high pay - you interrupted my expected post of saying other companies pay well. Most big companies (faangs but not just them) I've worked in have paid interns pro-rated wages slightly below a minimum starting pay, so maybe the equivalent of 75k. But 96/hr is 200k annually. I agree that's very high pay for an intern. Do they pay beginning devs that much? And the next step is how much for a regular experienced dev.
I think with that wording it's easy to slip into thinking that a person's lineage has anything to do with their suitability to be educated for a specific role or how well they may perform in that role.

Nothing arises "naturally"; It's the education and access to vast support resources that creates exceptional people, and if you want more of those, you should want to ensure that the greatest number of people have access to enough resources that anyone can have a chance to make the most of their inborn advantages (whatever they may be) regardless of the circumstances of their birth.
> People like to make out her life was easy and that it's not fair that she inherited such a privileged position, but I think the exact opposite. Her life seemed like living hell to me. Every day for the last 70 years she's had to serve this largely ungrateful country, and she did so without complaint. Even in her 90s she took her duties extremely seriously, and I respect the hell out of her for that.

She wasn't doing it from the kindness of her heart. This was her job, she was obscenely rich off of taxpayer money and she could retire any second she wanted to. You make it sound like she was sentenced to sign paperwork for her entire life, when the reality is she consciously chose to do so every day and in exchange she and her family was granted an immense wealth. It's not even remotely something that would warrant complaint. I'm not saying this to be snarky, just pointing out that although maybe parts of her job was boring, stressful, and unfulfilling, this is what she signed up for. And her "compensation" was unimaginable amount of money and power in the form of interpersonal relations.
Ironically that is one of the first times I've seen lose/loose stand true for either interpretation.

She didn't lose her royal power when handing over those landholdings, nor did she loose it (militarily) to prevent those reductions in the first place.

Seems like she handled it well.
Anyone who would seek out a monarchy would almost certainly be a sociopath. That's why it must be a birthright.
Explain better, I don’t understand what you mean.
This. So much this.

At the $dayjob, writing some python assuming late model 3.10.x, and discovering that the API has changed when I have to make sure it works on 3.6.x and 3.7.x.

Nevermind important libraries like pandas changing the API so some functions you 've used for years just disappear.

>“Perl is still about 20 years behind everyone else”

The version of Perl on your favorite Linux distro might be. I think that's the point the article was trying to make...that distros ship VERY old versions of Perl.
This is pretty off brand for HN, really. Even if you don't agree, that doesn't make it "flamebait" , the queen also was fine with sending Alan Turing to jail for being gay, I can find many other things along those lines. I don't understand the need to protect the image in this forum of a person who has not done anything really for regular people. YC being an american company makes it even worst, we here in the US don't own any kind of respect or courtesy to any royal, is literally part of the Oath of Allegiance. If you personally loved the queen, maybe don't read the comments? Otherwise be consistent and also ban people commenting on how bad russians are.
I was going to say. Recommendation algorithms across the internet work on the simple principal that "if they click these things or watch these things a lot, then they must like them, so we should recommend more of that to them because they'll like our recommendations". So if people are thinking the election was a fraud, they've probably clicked and watched those conspiracy nut videos, and the algorithm will spit more back at them.

It's... how recommendations work.
So please tell me, what should I optimize for when moderating a local OpenStreetMap community. I personally feel it's crucial people internalize that's a project with a bottom-up organization. A "civil society", if you will. Alas, despite 200-250 daily active mappers in Poland [1] only a fraction ever posts on the forum, even if just to ask something. Meeting IRL is also futile except 2-3 largest cities. We have a forum, Facebook group and Discord.

Whatever I'd come up with, I'd like it to be a self-healing organism that would continue to thrive even if some important members become inactive. And to feel it's not a Sisyphean task.

Symbols are important, even to history.

As for how major a historical event Elizabeth II's passing is, only history can tell and history tells it's stories with a delay, so we'll have to see. It could mark the beginning of the end of the monarchy in the UK, for example, which in turn could coincide with other major changes.
> Nope, it’s been quite familiar to even someone several hundred years ago.

I'm not sure what point you're making here. I'm not claiming England has never had a King before, I'm pointing out that I'm used to seeing "Her Majesty the Queen" rather than "His Majesty the King" all over.
