> Additionally, stability and backwards compatibility was assumed. So if the distro updated to Library X v1.2, and your app relied on v1.1, everything would still work.

I thought all the cool kids had adopted `semver` these days, so this shouldn't be a problem? Except for crappy libraries/dependencies, in which case surely the answer is: Don't use crappy dependencies; find an alternative that does the same thing, without sucking.

> Additionally, developers can't be sure of stability in their dependencies.

Again, be more judicious in which dependencies you use. Stay away from the crap ones, find ones that do the right thing.

> Disk space is cheap and plentiful and downloading a couple of GB takes an instant.

Maybe for you. But not for everyone on the planet. Or, maybe people who live in places with intermittent internet connectivity don't deserve new software, or for their needs to be considered?

> So why not bundle everything together?

Security. If a serious vulnerability is found in Library X v1.1, I want to be able to upgrade it to Library X v1.1.1 and know that every single app that uses it is safe, without even needing to know which apps use it. I don't want to have to figure out which apps use it (which, OK, might not be too hard if the tools are written to find that out), and then have to download an update for every single one. Even if I do have unlimited gigabit broadband, that could still be awkward if the library is sufficiently popular and widely used.
On the other hand, something wired into your heart probably shouldn't rely on a proprietary app from a for-profit company that could drop support at any time...
"Tradespeople won't lock themselves in if the right tool is on a different platform."

Right, but home users will. I have 5 Ryobi One+ batteries, so there's no way I'll buy a battery-operated tool from a different brand, even if the tool itself is better/cheaper than the equivalent Ryobi product.
If you define national security as preserving the American system of government, then no national security cannot be more important than free speech. There is no American system of government without free speech. Attempts to 'secure' the government by limiting free speech indicate the government we sought to protect no longer exists.
Those lawyers belong in prison. That’s disgusting and unconscionable behavior. I don’t say this often but if that sort of behavior isn’t criminal it ought to be. Their actions were an attempt to defraud this family of the $1.1 billion they’re entitled to receive.

Tangentially related, but I’m interested in doing file system traversal for finding some paths in Python: using a simple scandir to process takes minutes on the data I’m working with: shelling out to find is faster but still takes minutes. I know ‘fd’ exists and does parallel traversal, but I’d like to learn more about how to implement something like that: what structures do file systems use and how do you know what limitations should be considered when working with files?
I mean in the high-flying world of well-funded VC businesses with billion dollar valuations, $120k is a rounding error. But what about any number of hobby communities that previously had to pass the hat to pay for the $40/month Meetup.com fee? Knitting communities and metal detectorists. Salesforce bought it and so is free to price their chat app however they want, and yeah there is a free tier, but don't walk away thinking $$7.25/month is at all affordable for many communities.

That is for courts, but it should be enough to produce correct behavior by eliminating incentive to violate. If the fine is too small, it becomes operating expense, as is usual in the US.

You should not be prosecuted for announcing troop movement data that you've lawfully acquired.

If you burglarized an American government facility or hacked into a computer system or committed fraud to trick someone or drugged/tortured a government agent, you should be prosecuted for that.

But if an agent leaves information somewhere, you read it, and publish it? No, you should not.

It's not clear that he was "democratically elected"--there were many allegations of election fraud and voter intimidation. Moreover, he wasn't "overthrown", parliament voted to remove him (because he ordered the police to shoot protesters en masse). The courts also convicted him of treason, and he was even disavowed by his own party.
You'd want to read more than one book. And in my opinion you also need to digest the C++ Core guidelines and also use something like clang-tidy with high sensitivity, and when issues are flagged go dig into the details.

But then you realize it's just all too much, and you're looking for something less complex again.

I wonder how useful a C++ that I could understand in its entirety would be. But I don't understand english in its entirety either. I use what I know and get by just fine.

#2 sounds like it would prevent manufacturers from developing or using Android forks on completely other devices so, for example, you could not sell a device with Amazon's Fire OS (Even without Google's apps, so no hindrance to Google's branding) while also selling other Android devices with Google's apps.
Would seriously hinder entry-to-market for Android-based forks.

To be clear, I have not read the original agreements to confirm this is the case, it's just my interpretation of #2.

The evidence is all based on models, controlled by the very people who have incentive for those models to support their claims (scientists receiving grants, corporate kickbacks, etc and NGOs/politicians doing the same).

For decades, the very people who support these models have been telling people we're just a few short years away from the demise of the species...only for nothing to happen (and for the very things they claim to be getting worse, actually getting better). Again, and again, and again. First it was global warming, then it was "climate change" (hint: the climate always changes—the real subtext here is Malthusian discontent for humanity, not a desire to protect nature).

Those very same people, too, go out of their way to dismiss technology like nuclear energy and carbon capture which can solve the problem they claim to wish to solve (reducing and/or eliminating emissions). Why? Because if they solve the problem, they can't milk subsidies from the government and will actually have to find real work to do. Not just parading around (in f*cking private jets pouring out emissions) and self-flagellating at conferences and "summits."

The whole thing is a gigantic self-defeating farce, that, when looked at through the lens of objectivity makes about as much sense as Scientology (the comparison to a religion, here, being purposeful). The parallels to the COVID groupthink are apt, correct, and the exact same candy bar in a different wrapper.
Writing an object indexer is a fun project. My Python indexer, ducks [1], went through a lot of the same development stages, such as supporting only exact-value matches at first. I tried binning too, but ultimately using a BTree was simpler and performed well enough (500ns for a log-n tree traversal, vs 50ns hash).

Still looking for a way to apply bitmap indexing in ducks; it would surely speed up multi-index queries, but I haven't found an implementation that's worth the tradeoffs yet.

And what's funny is they call people who disagree with them conspiracy theory people, which is weird because their statements show no evidence of conspiracy nor does the fact they are alluding to a conspiracy have any impact on the truth of their argument.

The blockchain does pose new questions about digital privacy rights. Cryptography that privatizes transactional flow of USDC tokens is indistinguishable from the same cryptography that privatizes transactional flow of digital assets.

Want to purchase an ENS name without corporations and the US government having clear knowledge of it? Too bad, the US government will not allow that. The privacy that we enjoy wish cash purchases will erode as we continue down the path of stripping away privacy in digital transactional systems.
This one:

"Is this to say that the proposition has no truth or validity to it, that there are not people who hold extremely confident opinions on certain matters but are literally not able to accurately substantiate their claims in detail in a logically consistent manner given sufficient time?"

Granted it's at least somewhat complicated, and I can see that it could be incomprehensible to many, but this is Hacker News ffs. And, if one is throwing around confident opinions, pulling a "I don't understand what you mean" technique seems a bit disingenuous (although I suppose it could be true...but then, that in itself says something important imho).

At the very least, can we agree that "The idea that beliefs are only valid if you are able to adequately articulate them to the standards set by someone else is invalid, yes." is an inaccurate (not-necessarily-intentional) rhetorical framing of the conversation?
Given that the government has already (pre-COVID) been wanting to enact anti-trust legislation against Facebook and Meta, one can argue that not following a recommendation is perceived by these companies to be a risk for their existence. At the end of the day, the government needs to be extremely careful here.

CEOs tend to be compensated in ways that make them more than mere wage laborers so our intersection of agreement is likely much higher, yes. We can also acknowledge that stock-based compensation[RSUs], ESPP, and even 401k's(in certain, yet extremely prevalent configurations) also hybridize a fair share of workers who at the same time are income-funded through wage labor.

While this makes some workers not neatly classifiable into one or the other bucket, I don't believe it necessarily invalidates the argument. We can, without even drawing a line, agree that such a line exist somewhere between the two extremes and proceed from there.

In principle, HCQ can be effective against some coronaviruses and not others. Ditto for masks. So I'm not convinced we knew anything specific about COVID-19 just due to prior research, but the precautionary principle suggests being overly conservative in most assumptions.

Fauci actually did mislead the public about masks, but he actually believed they were effective, so he lied to the public claiming their ineffectiveness at first due to fears of shortages.

No, the statement was that Desantis restricted voting rights. Here is the literal quote:

"Desantis won by tight margins [..] and has consistently worked to gerrymander and restrict voting rights for those who'd vote against him."

When pressed for details on this bizarre claim, it was pointed out that voting rights for felons was not expanded and that the status quo remained under Desantis. Thus he only refused to expand voting rights.

Now you are trying to rephrase the original claim to make it appear to be less false than it is, when all you need to do is scroll up to see the original claim.

dangerous components like suicide cords.

Ohh, scary!

Desperate times call for desperate measures. How to use a "suicide cable" safely.

1) Make sure the cable is built properly (not cross wired)

2) Disconnect from the grid using the main breaker outside the house near the electrical meter.

3) Plug the cable into the house wiring first so energized contacts are never exposed. Preferably in a location not easily accessible by children or idiots. I typically use the outlet in the ceiling of the garage normally used by the garage door opener. I tie the cable to the door opener mount so you can't disconnect it just by yanking on it.

4) Plug the other end into the inverter or generator

Enjoy a cold beer while watching TV waiting for the grid to be restored.

ah, so corporations can well-foundedly and meaningfully consume the data of 'consumers' (an euphenism for fuel) in a way such that the historic shadow suckers of everything's energy (banks) can continue to partake on the sucking down of everybody's data/information (with real time measurements, which is a novelty in this ancient system build around trade, commerce, insurance, and power-authority concentration).

But I think it's a legitimate question of whether feeling the cold especially indoors is a sex-related or a gender-related difference, and I think someone could reasonably guess it was the former. Do women feel colder indoors than men because of e.g. clothing norms, or do females feel colder indoors than males regardless of their gender identity? I have read the explanation that the difference is mostly caused by the delta in metabolic rate -- in which case distinguishing by sex rather than gender seems clearer and more accurate.

> #2 suggests Google just didn't want phones with ancient or beta versions of Android in the market with Google branding

I think that would have been acceptable - my reading of #2 is that if you sold phones with a fork of Android, even if that phone did not have Google branding, Google would not allow you to sell *any* phones with Google branding. That does seem very similar to the Microsoft example.
> with Google branding

Then the rule was overly broad, since it also prevented them from selling Android phones without Google branding. I think Amazon was involved in that lawsuit after it had issues finding a manufacturer that wasn't bound by that rule.

Apple are definitely inconsistent in how they apply their rules but we’ve never had to tweak this screen as far as I know, across several hundred applications. Maybe it was a one-off?

In my experience, Apple don’t really reject things based on the HIG any more. Last time they did for me was back in 2008. If they rejected things based on the HIG, they’d reject almost everything – look at how many applications abuse launch images to show a splash screen, for instance.
