How else am I to demonstrate that the information has been removed clean from the internet? If that makes me a bad actor in your opinion, in my opinion you have your reasoning screwed up somewhere, because I'm not following that logic at all. Please refrain from such redditish personal attacks. If you want to aggravate me, disprove my points. Unfortunately I'd more likely thank you than being mad in that case. If you're actually into making people mad, you should stick to reddit.

>Ditto is designed for "peer-to-peer" synchronization where it can directly communicate with other devices even without an internet connection. In addition, Ditto automatically manages the complexity of using multiple network transports, like Bluetooth, P2P Wi-Fi, and Local Area Network, to find and connect to other devices and then synchronize any changes.[1]

This is cool! I have no idea what's the use-case behind it, but it is really awesome if properly implemented (which seems like a gigantic challenge).

There isn't much inherent in the language design which dictates it must be very slow, though. It's mostly a result of the canonical implementation.
This is a regular comment on hn. It doesn't chime with my experience.

I have used Teams every day for 3 years. It is a memory hog, it sometimes takes a moment from connection to hearing people...but I never once had it 'crash'. I swap from phone to screen fairly regularly with no problem.

I wonder, do people who pay for Teams as an organisation get better service? We pay and I have no problems with it.

> I agree. We spending ridcolous amount of money and fuel to colonizing Mars/space but at same time we are not able to feed millions starving children on our planet.

And yet, in the very next sentence you contradict your own point (and rightly so): One is almost exclusively a technological problem, the other is almost exclusively a political problem. In nearly all cases, the reasons for a nation being underdeveloped are a mix of internal and external politics, and we still haven't figured out how to help them without making things worse in the long term. That's why it won't make one bit of a difference to them if we colonize Mars or not.
I can't watch Red Dwarf any more. It has aged terribly. The overacting (eg The Cat), the canned laughter to fit the TV format... I think I was just "meh" about it until I listened to the audiobook read by Chris Barrie (the actor who played Rimmer). I didn't even want to listen to it but my wife insisted that I'd love it. I did. In contrast to the TV series, the book is fresh, genuinely funny and surprisingly astute. The story is narrated by Rimmer, who is a wonderfully awful character, full of self-loathing and false confidence. I challenge anyone to listen to that audiobook without finding embarrassing parallels between themselves and Rimmer. The characters of Lister and Rimmer are more fully developed, making the TV series feel thin and pointless in contrast. I suppose it was pitched too hard at evening British TV audiences of the late 80s.
When we created our own version of AOLServer, also with Tcl, I quickly learned that interpreted language + continuously rewriting code into C, wasn't the way for doing distributed systems where performance matters.

Indeed this experience eventually made us jump into .NET as we had early access to it as Microsoft partners, and a couple of years later some of the people on this team went off and founded OutSystems.

20 years later, apparently this lesson of using scripting languages without dynamic compilers seems to have to be relearnt the hard way.

Here we go again: you stated that the Daily Sceptic specifically - the site this thread is about - had been "directing and encouraging harassment and violent threats against doctors". When pointed out that this is isn't true you fall back on "I googled and found some mention of some people doing that", which isn't the same thing. At all. Not even close. If two groups of people both disagree with another group of people, that doesn't mean the first two groups can be arbitrarily treated as the same or blamed for the actions of the other.

The extraordinary level of slippage your replies on this thread involve makes it very hard for people to debate with you, are you aware of that? You keep asserting that various people or groups have said things that they never said, or that they didn't say things when they did, based apparently on ad-hoc or arbitrary connections in your own mind. It's not surprising that you're feeling confused!

The problem you're displaying here crops up frequently in discussions about censorship. It's what Matt Taibbi calls "the transitive property of whatever". I was arguing a week ago with someone else on this forum who was claiming that Facebook was somehow implicated in the Rohingya Genocide. It's a form of overly-transitive reasoning in which belief in the power of words strengthens to the point at which everything appears connected to everything else. To invert the argument to a form you may recognize from the 'other side' it's like arguing that because a few Muslims have blown themselves up in response to religious teachings, therefore all mosques should be shut down.

So if you have a specific and precise problem with the website in question, let's hear it. And if you want to reply with an assertion that X said Y, please quote their exact words where they say that.
GNOME continues the tradition of being the most consistent, beautiful desktop environment out there. A true feat of free software and collaboration.

The solution is simple: ship your fucking dependencies.

Every application should ship every dependency it requires. Attempting to use random shit that may or may not be installed on the system is a disaster.

Containers that include all dependencies achieves this. Infact I like to argue that the only reason containers exist is because reliably launching software is so outrageously complex the only way to do is create a full system imagine. It’s a modern day tragedy.

Disk space is cheap. If every application shipped duplicate dependencies it’d be… totally fine. The downside is inability to update security vulnerabilities. But if everyone is shipping containers that seems kinda moot.

iOS and Android don’t have this issue. When you install an app it just works. Windows has the issue somewhat, but it’s mostly a problem with dev tools that are trying to pretend their in Linux. If you ship your fucking dependencies it’s a non-issue.
> No one will bother putting in the effort until usage quotas and costs get involved. While repos allow unlimited free pulls, it makes no sense for users to spend a minute caching anything.

I don't know about that. One of the benefits of introducing something like Nexus can be a noticeable speedup for your own builds, once your proxy repositories have the versions of dependencies you need cached.

Of course, you could use some sort of a local build cache (e.g. m2 directory for Maven packages on the server) but when you're building your own containers it doesn't always turn out to be as viable, especially when you have many CI nodes, each of which would have a local build cache.

On an unrelated note, something like Nexus also gives you the ability to easily start deploying/using your own container images, libraries or even arbitrary files, all without having to store your data in the cloud, or figure out how many different solutions/accounts you might need (otherwise you'd need some packages on Docker Hub, some Node packages on npm, some Java packages in Maven repos etc.).

You're right to say that VMware has the right fundamental building blocks and that they are mature enough (especially the compute aspect).

But I think you underestimate the maturity and effectiveness of the underlying google compute and storage substrate.

(FWIW, I worked at both places)

Now how the Google's substrate maps onto GCP, that's another story. There is a non trivial amount of fluff to be added on top of your building blocks to build a manageable multitenant planet scale cloud service. Just the network infrastructure is mind boggling.

I wouldn't be surprised if your experience with a "VMware cloud" would surprise you if you naively compare it with your experience with a standalone vsphere cluster.

Knowing the landscape of British TV at the time makes you appreciate The Office even more. It was awash with fly on the wall documentaries following people around their daily and working lives.

Stars of these programmes were just making their way into celebrity, like Jeremy Spake and Maureen from Driving School, and the people on slightly later shows knew their fame could be a path to them 'making it'. David Brent falls right into this category.

The Office was so incredibly well observed and authentic, it's a work of art.

The US one had other goals, it's just an American sitcom with a nod to mockumentary and zany unbelievable antics.

MiniDisc only real flaw was that it was a Sony format. The copy limitations, issues with the record labels, limited third party support, excessive price outside of Japan etc all come from there.

Otherwise outside of sampling rate (MD were ATRAC only at first), the points you raise were not an issue if you bought into the ecosystem: buying music directly in MD, playing it on your portable player and sticking it in your Sony compo would be fine. Buying blank MDs and recording, copying etc. on them was mostly fine, all of that on a format way more sturdier, stable, and convenient than CDs.

I think CDs would have "died" and get replaced with MDs if it wasn't for Sony being themselves and screwing it up.

> stop enabling "web developers" to do the things that make them slow

It's been said countless times; but Slack, Discord, Youtube, Google Meets, Figma, Google Maps, Google Docs, Github, Excalidraw, Penpot, Diagrams.net etc. etc. are all web sites. They are a different class of websites than Hacker News or Project Gutenberg, being more apps than documents, but they are an important class, too; and they were all made possible because web developers were enabled, through various browser apis, to build them; and I am grateful for that. Wishing that web developers were not enabled to build complex things on the web is inconceivable to me. It's the culture and the education around web development that should change; not the enablement of web developers.

I've used a bunch of DSLRs w/ live preview active for extended periods w/o any issues. It's solid state, so the affect should be negligible assuming you're not directly exposing it to a lot of direct UV light or something like that. For me (used to run a photo automation company), the main wear factor on Canon DSLRs are mirror and shutter actuations (after about 50K-100K actuations, the mirror will tend to detach - this is repairable via CPS), however in preview mode, you aren't going to have any of that mechanical stress.

Want to know where your users come from? Server logs.

It's the dreaded "I know enough to be dangerous" type that you have to worry about; the people who don't actually know all that much but enough to make a mess of things. I was brought in to help for a while on a project where they had compile times up at 4 or so minutes, if I remember correctly. The solution in the end really was just "Write dumber types", because their types were completely overboard and written just well enough to work.

A big bulk of their compile time came from things that could've been checked in much more efficient (for the compiler) ways.

I would never urge anyone to not use statically typed languages, mind you, I think people just need to be a bit more pragmatic. Sometimes I find it unfortunate that TypeScript provides the facilities it does while still not having solved the basic ergonomics of types (more consistent inference, etc.). Having types that generate types creates problems that I honestly don't experience anywhere else and I would rather that people just not in general, but that's something you can fix with rules.

An ironic part of all of this is that Haskell's type system is a lot easier to use and use well than TypeScript's, in the end, which is especially funny considering all the talk of pragmatism.

This is a good point. Rust is better than C++ in many ways but when it comes to templates and compile time optimizations then its flipped and C++ is much better. The Rust trait system also feels pretty limited too.

Though as far as compile time templates go I think Nim templates generally meets or exceeds C++ templates in most areas. But I've become addicted to compile time type ducking, which is antithetical to Rust's vision of programming.

Just a note that I don't think any of the actors in the original version of The Office were recognizable in the UK before it aired. So either it is more important in the US to have a big name attached, or TV execs at least believe so, or they remake it for other reasons and the big name is a nice-to-have.
