I was born in the UK, in 1963. Because of my step-father's love of first-wave UK punk, the first thing I did on hearing this news was to play the Sex Pistol's "God Save the Queen".

It is remarkable how much the Queen's standing has improved during the time since that song (1977). My (UK) family are (as far as I know) staunch republicans, but the last couple of decades have seen all of us soften our disgust with the monarchy as Elizabeth represented it. We might still want the whole concept destroyed, but there is nothing close to the vehemence of Johnny Rotten (Lydon)'s lyrics from that song.

Nevertheless, that is how a bunch of people felt in 1977, and as our memories become even more gilded and rose goggled now that she has died, it may be worth remembering those feelings too:

God save the queen /
The fascist regime /
They made you a moron /
A potential H bomb /
God save the queen /
She's not a human being /
and There's no future /
And England's dreaming

These days, I think even us staunch republicans/anti-monarchists would begrudgingly admit that "She could have been worse" and that she actually was a human being.

Maybe Charles will have the guts to end it all, but it doesn't seem likely.

>Whenever the server fails to do what is needed - in most cases, it will retry with a backoff. In case it is not retryable - most often, it will exit, an alert will fire, and I will start handling an incident.

I don't follow. Requests have deadlines, so you can't keep trying forever. Often a persistent failure means the request itself is bad. Either invalid, or exposing an edge case that the system can't currently handle. These kinds of errors are always present at background levels in a high-scalability system; we have SLAs like 99.99% success rate to decide when there's really an incident. Crashing the entire server process because of one failed request sounds crazy.
The mess that just keeps on messing.
Thank you, that's interesting to know! I've seen non-split ortho boards before and it just looked like it would be weird. Split is the only case I've ever been curious about them, so I'm happy to hear that confirmed!
Please don't blame bare word file handles on "C heritage"

--

Some of the improvements were needed because in places Perl’s Unix/C heritage shows through a little more than we’d like it to in the 21st century. One good example of this is bareword filehandles. You’re probably used Perl code to open a file looking like this:

open FH, 'filename.dat' or die;

An interesting bit about the solar stuff: when I was at REI and comparing the Fenix models, I asked if the Solar was really worth it. Even according to Garmin, the solar gets you an extra ~20% on battery life. The REI employee pointed out that for the $100 extra it cost, I could get a much more effective solar panel/battery combo that could not only charge my watch but other devices.

So I ended up getting the regular model, figuring if I ever needed solar anything, I'd come back and get the right panel for the trip. Yet another reason I'm happy to support my local REI store.
Public support for monarchies is independent of whether they’re actually good or bad. I think everything about them is gross and revolting. Other people think otherwise.

Thankfully democratic countries aren’t creating new monarchies. Nor should they.
But the marketers are monkeying around, swinging from thread to thread. Pounding their chest and hooting.
To put this in perspective, developing a modern high-efficiency supersonic engine requires an order-of-magnitude more money than the airframe itself.

Indeed, it felt like a safe, reassuring voice in a sea of panic. A voice that had been heard for decades and for me at least, represented that “keep calm and carry on” mentality. RIP
Not that this is quite the right time, but is there any list of the Queen's achievements that isn't simply "she lived for very long" and "she witnessed some important events"? I fail to see why this is impressive.

Sure, but that was overturned 4 years later and caused many people to die.

I wouldn't assume anyone to be as bold as Mr Cromwell was.
I use Go and Python both for short scripts and tests in a very similar way, when the Standard Library covers my needs.

echo 'package main
import "fmt"
func main() { fmt.Println("hello"); }
' > foo.go && go run foo.go

But once I have to worry about dependencies, I do prefer Go's "pretend you are a module" dance vs. Python's "discover the differences between your install and the author's install" dance.
Recent polls show support for Scottish independence dropping. Charles becoming king may affect that of course, but I wouldn't say it's at all clear that "Scotland is going to go independent".

I agree on the idea of dropping the monarchy on a high though, as long as we go for a presidential system similar to Ireland rather than the USA...

No. He’s saying that while another developer gets stuck in the weeds implementing their own byte-string library, he’ll be past that and shipping the feature that needs a byte-string implementation to the customer or end user.

It’s the same reason you’re writing this using someone else’s web browser, on someone else’s kernel, on someone else’s hardware.

And it’s not because you’re a bad/lazy programmer or because there’s no value in understanding how all of that works.
The UK monarch doesn't rule over most Commonwealth countries. The monarch only rules over the 15 Commonwealth Realms. For example, India and Pakistan are now republics and the monarch doesn't have a role in their governments. Canada, by contrast, is a monarchy and Commonwealth Realm.

The Commonwealth of Nations an association of countries, but the Commonwealth of Nations does not control the government of any member country (even ceremonially). India and Pakistan are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, but are not Commonwealth Realms.

I would argue for 1870-1970. Flush toilets, motors and light bulbs, communication networks ( phones in houses, radio ) did not exist before 1870, but were rapidly being deployed in the decade or two before the Queen's birth in 1922..

A book by Robert J. Gordon from 2015, "The Rise and Fall of American Growth," goes through this in great and fascinating detail. The life of an everyday American in 1870, starting off with the chamber pot and ending with an early bedtime by candlelight, was hard to even imagine by 1940. As he lays it out , life in that year would be familiar to us: toilets and plumbing, mass media via radio & hardcopy webpage (i.e. newspapers), worldwide communication from home (telephone), refrigeration, etc.

I adamantly reject the belief that some people are inherently better and deserve special treatment by society and before the law because of their ancestry.

This includes all nobility and royalty titles.

Historically and traditionally, nobles are/were the owners of the land. Shoddy job they've done at taking care of the environment. Overpowered by the industrialists, the new ruling hegemonic class (since the aftermath of WWII); who have been clever to stay out of the public view, unlike these historical noble and royal icons.
Solana made me interested in cryptocurrency because it is actually possible to use it as a medium of exchange in theory. I say in theory because a volatile cryptocurrency isn't exactly what I have in mind when I think of a currency used for payments and business.

There is RAI which is an algorithmic stablecoin on Ethereum which fails to scale.

I can imagine a world where in 10 years people figured out how to build a price level targeting cryptocurrency with neither inflation nor deflation on a platform which is fast enough to process every day payments and which people in developing countries adopt to minimize volatility and avoid inflation in their national currency.

Those days are far into the future and they have absolutely nothing, nothing to do with Bitcoin. Maybe Ethereum if they solve the scalability problems. Maybe Solana if they build a RAI inspired stablecoin. Maybe a completely different platform but certainly not Bitcoin.
I have misread your comment.
So, your experience with handling errors that must be returned to the caller is tedious.
Hmm, I do not feel it is tedious. I will likely bubble it up the stack, report it and return a relevant code.

I appreciate that this is almost linear, without mental complexity of exception, where you occupy another part of your brain with accounting for exception handling.
Random internet comments don't mean anything.

Nobody who mattered said that Go didn't need generics. In fact, Ian Lance Taylor, the lead behind getting generics in Go, has been working on adding generics to Go inside Google since before any of us outside of Google had even heard of Go.

It was always explicitly on the table. It just took a long time, after many failed proposals, to find a solution that didn't come with unacceptable compromises.
Agreed. I know nothing about aerospace engineering or aircraft design, but the hype around Boom always puzzled me. If this start up can all of a sudden make an economical supersonic jet, then surely the existing plane manufacturers could do it quicker and cheaper. Boeing, Lockheed, Airbus, etc... already have existing designs from decades past that they could at least use as a base. They have experts in material science, airplane design, and actual resources/contracts to actually build one. If it made sense.
A timespan anecdote I like: Bertrand Russell watched man land on the moon on tv.
He also had his grandfather tell him about meeting with Napoleon.
It's also a shame when I hear smart people say Iraq was "about the oil"(a response I'm anticipating for your post). If it was about the oil, it doesn't really make sense that America "let" Russia, China, and a whole other slew of non-US-aligned states get into Iraq to run oil operations there. If it were really about the oil, wouldn't America have locked down Iraq so only we could benefit from it, and not Russia and China?
Those haven't been made for a long time and there's nothing presently in use like them. Also those were turbojets; Boom wanted to use turbofans for fuel efficiency.
Oh I'm sure she at least appreciates the opportunity to bury some unappealing news. News broke e.g. of her decision to rescind all restrictions on fracking (and – just a funny coincidence – of the fact that her campaign's biggest donation came from the wife of a BP exec), at about the same time as news of the Queen's deteriorating health.
I really think we need to strengthen elections to keep these types of actions out.
Agree with you. The world today is not much different from the world my grandmother left behind, born ~1900 died ~2000.

Arguably it's not particularly different now than, say, 1995 - 2000, which is the half decade of web search indexes (AltaVisa = 1995) and banner ads (1998 = DoubleClick IPO).

Travel, media, appliances, transportation, Internet, perhaps even music and fashion, haven't as fundamentally changed since then.

I’m a US citizen and not a tax expert. You should get professional advice. The US and UK have tax treaties that may/should exempt you and your company from dual taxation. I’ve never heard of US companies withholding taxes for foreign freelancers but don’t take my word on that.

If you’re working remotely the only liability you can have is breach of contract, which is covered by law. E&O (errors and omissions) coverage exists but I have been asked about that exactly once and when I said I don’t have it and won’t pay for it the customer dropped the issue. Because of the time and expense involved even between two US-based parties in our legal system I think it’s best to avoid situations that can lead to such disputes. That’s why I don’t do green fields projects with big up-front payments or deposits.
The only example of "Concept" in the article is "product", yet it talks to great length about it (Concept).

Dang, does this post 'gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.'? Should it be on HN? I don't believe so. The only intellectually interesting thing about the monarchy is how we let them persist now all the fake divinity is gone. Which is what my comment is intended to spur conversation about. So claim what you like, it's your site, but I believe you're wrong.
The royal prerogative includes the powers to appoint and dismiss ministers, regulate the civil service, issue passports, declare war, make peace, direct the actions of the military, and negotiate and ratify treaties, alliances, and international agreements.

While Elizabeth has CHOSEN to not use these powers much, any future monarch can. Just look at the U.S. in the last 6 years to see what happens when a country relies more on historical norms rather than law.

I think the main arguments against it will be a) omg this isn't even technically possible to break these companies up and b) omg this will destroy the economy. Looking at history breaking up companies like Standard Oil and AT&T led to explosions of innovation. The prolonged battle against IBM allowed Microsoft to emerge. The antitrust battle against Microsoft allowed today's giants like Amazon and Google to emerge
It's easy to lose the trail in some terrain and the people you're talking about likely wouldn't know what to do about it. Just last week I saved one of those guys from at best a rather unpleasant experience, at worst being stranded in the wilderness--and he didn't even lose the trail.

We had met on a local summit although we had approached it via different routes. We were on a spur off a longer trail--and he took the wrong direction when coming back to the main trail. I encountered him probably an hour later and realized his mistake and got him headed back to his car. Had he continued there was one junction ahead--if he took the left branch he would end up where I was parked which was miles from his car. If he took the right branch he would have failed to end up at a slightly more distant parking lot as by the trail it was about 16 miles away, going over a summit just below 12k' (we were a bit above 9k' at the time) in the process. His phone battery was dead, it was near the new moon and that route goes near cliffs.

To everyone who feels sad by these news, my condolences. I respect your pain.

However, I have to confess that to whenever I hear that someone aged 90+ (80+, even) died, I don't really feel sad. Actually, I feel an urge to praise this person's achievements, as I'm aware we are all mortals, and death is unavoidable.

I prefer to rejoice in how much this person has witnessed throughout her life, how she had enough health to keep her wits until the end, how she could raise children, grandchildren, and even know her great-grandchildren.

What else can we humans aspire? Living forever is out of question. As soon as we are born, we are bound to die. So it's a pretty good life to be able to reach a good age, knowing that all our dear ones are set for life, raising families of their own, and living their lives the way that is best suited for them.

This is not just theory. I felt this when my grandfather died, aged 95, when my grandmother died aged 96, and when other people I knew died old enough for their deaths not really come as a surprise.
A less charitable take could say that she oversaw the decline of the crown and collapse of the empire.
