As I see it, most every structure works when you've got a fountain of never ending cash. The true test of a corporate structure is when that fountain starts to run dry or there was never a fountain to begin with. Facebook is hitting that wall now.
They also use it for non-google products.

For example the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II had a hyperlink to "See todays events" on both places.
Just be careful not to sync those pictures to Google Photos or some other cloud provider that scans your files, otherwise your account might get blocked forever (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32560361).
I'm not sure how many levels of irony, if any, you're employing there, so here are my actual not-ironic opinions:

If there were somewhere a museum large enough to contain it in one piece, that would actually have been pretty cool. Leaving it in one piece gumming up central Berlin, not so much. And of course there's some nice symbolism in the fact that it's all in bits.
The only creative thing left in IPA brewing is figuring out a marijuana reference that hasn't been done yet.
Plan on Google to kill a product more than keep a product.
This is partially solved on PS5 by background updates that can happen while the console is in rest mode. For most updates, they'll just happen while you sleep, eat, work, etc. There are times when the console loses power or if you shut it down rather than use rest mode where you'll have long updates after powering it on.

You can also purchase games on your phone and send a request to your console to download and install it so that it's ready when you want to play.
The only way I can figure out to make this explicit, though, seems very verbose and non-intuitive and frankly no clearer than `.into()` on its own:

Err(Into::<Box<dyn Error>>::into("sha1 hash is not valid"))

Is there a better way to constrain the trait implementation of Into?

> At least you and I, in this ark, are the right kind of deranged and insane. It’s worth saving ourselves from the flood, but those other guys can look out for themselves.

That's good enough: it's how societies evolve. Those other folks can go to Hell their own way, and you and I can go to Hell our own way; and what's wrong with that? Do we have an obligation to save them? Or they, us?

The absolute confidence people have in the righteousness of whatever program they have to save the world is mystifying. Have some humility: what if your plan doesn't work? The annoying others who didn't agree with it may be the survivors who work out what does work.
What's the advantage of a webview app over a bookmark?
Ah so they want to replace undefined behaviour with a different kind of undefined behaviour
My main issue with Mastodon is that your identity is tied to whatever instance you signed up with. So if I sign up at example.social I will be bob@example.social. If the moderators ban me or the instance stops working I am losing all my tweets and followers.

Ideally you would sign up with your own domain (bob@mydomain.com) and point some dns records to whichever instance you want, this way you stay flexible and you own your identity.

There is a github issue for this that is open for 5 years but not much has been done https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/2668
> It's sad that the bar is so low these days that VSCode is considered acceptable. That takes 30 seconds to start up on my i5-8250U with MX150 graphics.

Have you considered that your computer is the problem? I am running a dual-core MacBook Pro that usually hosts a docker-compose file running Postgres and Mongo, a few NodeJS services, and a React hot-reload server, and I can open a fresh or additional VSCode window in 5s.

Or on my i7-6700k/1070 I was pulling it up within 2s

I don't disagree with the idea you express about the internet connection though - it's frustrating to find all the things that should be locally cached and aren't, and all the places offline-first tech isn't applied that it would be beneficial.

Fortunately airplanes have more and more wifi these days...
In India, we have a rope in local buses that passengers can pull asking the driver for a stop to get down.

Such simple mechanism.
eh not really. it's more about being able to reasonably testify in court that no GPL code was introduced into a codebase that they want to license with a non-GPL license and not be lying.
Probably not. Contractors tend to be hired for a lot for non engineering tasks (admin, recruiting, facilities) and the sometimes to fill out a dev team with specific skill sets or to cover some grunt work. In my experience on dev teams (in the US at least) FTEs outnumber contractors by at least 8:1, so I’d be surprised if much was done on Windows Terminal by contractors. (I work for Microsoft but not on anything even adjacent to Windows Terminal).
This matches my children's experience. I have blue eyes and my wife is Taiwanese. When our kids were newborn, their eyes were green. In some early photos, almost blue. They also had very light colored hair. By the time they were toddlers their eyes turned the brown color they are now, and their hair became dark brown.
Omg I’m a younger gen it sounds like, but I’m constantly getting in trouble with my wife for getting too lost in a problem. She hates, too, that I can continue to be lost in it even as I’m eating dinner or walking with her in the park or whatever. As for where that energy goes…when an employer tells me that in order to do XYZ I need to open tickets and write stories and and and, even though I agree those are the right things to do, my brain is more likely to the attack the problems where all that distracting bullshit is unnecessary.
I was mainly thinking of the ones on the new tab page. Years ago they had "tiles" or something and I turned those off, then they added "suggestions" and they're not different but the old setting doesn't apply to them.
If companies, then why not clubs, teams, cities, nations, the earth? There is a certain amount of intelligence, sure, or so it seems.

Collective intelligence, or maybe a hivemind though that seems a step too far, seems like a closer description than AI. From TFA, I'm not sure I actually agree that 'we can certainly agree that companies are "artificial" in the sense that humans made them' is the fundamental aspect of what 'artificial' means in terms of AI. I would argue that artificial here means more like artifact rather than simply human-made. Companies are not embodied in any artifact, whereas I think AI will surely have to be. Companies are diffuse and reliant upon actual humans to do the thinking, even if no single human "thinks" for the company. AI will rather be intelligence that is not natural and embodied in an artifact (and probably made by humans). Or many artifacts, as there could be collective AI as well.

Anyway, interesting idea. I'll have to think more about it.
I mean, large engineering projects for the greater good of humanity don't really seem like our thing as a species, but the answers to most of your questions are yes in theory. If you can surround a star with a Dyson Sphere/Swarm, you can do all kinds of things to it including concentrating all its energy into a beam to destroy a planet like the Earth in seconds (though you can't blow it apart like in Star Wars that easily).

There's a youtube channel dedicated to this kind of stuff called "Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur".
Kinda agree. Tailwind is fine, I think it's over features at this point, I love framework to have some sense of "done" or stable.

GraphQL is side-effect of spoiled-by-VCs frontend ecosystem. Frontend folks love it doesn't mean it's good for end-to-end system.

JWT, I don't have enough experience on it, so I've never been sold.

> CBS is America, not Russian? The history of Ukrainian political corruption predates the war from Russia.

CBS is American but this idea that the majority of weapons aren’t being in Ukraine cause they are being sold or stolen or lost _is propaganda_. Nothing supports this idea for the current phase of the war and people have generally moved on from this narrative.
Reading HN is a normal thing to do in a lot of workplaces.
Our species has evolved from apes over about a million years. A billion years ago, we were bacteria.

Why did all these AI image generators come out at once?
Midjourney, Dalle 2, Stable Diffusion all came out seemingly at once. It seems that there was a very quick jump in technology. How? Why?
I like your earnest request.

I’ve followed mastodon for a while but have never known anyone else who uses it so didn’t get into a particular server. All the public servers didn’t really seem interesting to me.

So this seemed like a problem for me as a loner as the people I actually knew weren’t going to join.

Twitter, for all its flaws, is dead simple to join and start yelling.
> I really can't stand how Google has handled the whole stadia thing.

Why? It's not great that they're shutting it down, but refunding all purchases is by far not the worst way to handle this.
Excess Intelligence is like weight weighing you down and preventing you from movement.

Intelligence when you are moving fast is like energy and it helps you move faster.
When you are a child your concept of adultness is heavily based on dignity. Grownup have dignity and kids do not (to varying degree). As people grow up they try and maximise personal dignity. The irony is that letting go of dignity is necessary for many of the most important parts of adulthood. Think about dating, having kids, romance, sex, or even starting a new job. Not always dignified but necessary.
This is with respect to the corneas, I interpreted the question as about the iris (this is usually what "eye color" means ofc).

It's not great when corneas turn pink either.
Why blame this on Wall Street?

I like how 15 seconds is considered a decent bar.
You said it, they're kids!

If you can't man up and drink something gross without grimacing, or have the self control to play the most frustrating game in history, you don't have the self-mastery to be near the lever of power.
I'm surprised they advertise their own product in those places... It's such an obvious thing for the EU to go after. "Google has a monopoly position in Browsers/Search, and (ab)used their homepage to advertise their entry into a new field of business, immediately giving it free advertising the competitors could never access."

If I were Googles legal team, I would immediately put an end to such cross-product advertising (at least from Search/Chrome/Android).
Good luck with it... I put in my site and it didn't give me a preview, but wanted me to pay the $189 anyways. I'm not going to pay for something I can see. Honestly... instead of a preview, you might want just want to pull up the rendered mobile app in a simulator from browserstack or something so the customer can actually interact with it. Having people pay for something only to ask for refunds later is going to kill your credit rating.
Yes, it's because of incentives. In dating, it's seen as a big negative to be a "manchild" or be dating a manchild; in less inflammatory terms, being seen as immature is seen as negative in the dating world. This is actually quite fair: it's natural for someone in a relationship to prefer a responsible person with self-control (e.g. holds a good job, cleans up, and is financially responsible).

A person can take being an "adult" too far, however. They can say that anything that doesn't help you earn money is a waste of time, that anything creative is also a waste of time, and chase status and money. Maybe many of these people got burned at some point for being childish (e.g. they were criticized by a manager or partner and made to feel shame), which explains the behavior.

It depends on your goals, but a nice moderate view is to discard with the labels, and aim to be responsible and have self-control, while also being curious and open to creative pursuits. It's also great to enjoy whatever media you like without caring about what others think (whether it's obscure or mainstream).
That's how long the drive has been powered up, not the CPU. It sleeps pretty aggressively, and why not, no disk to spin up.

I appreciate this very much. When a press release does make it to the front page (often from the SEC or another US government agency), I click straight through to the HN comments to get some context and perspective.
Remember, this was not intended to be public. You read this as a public statement when it's really just a leaked chat conversation. Your version might still be true, but this is not proof for it.
Amen.

I guess whatever target you hit with it would have to be worth as much as it cost to get the thing into orbit.
Progressive Delivery for databases: Managing schema changes with Liquibase
Your comment completely shuts down all of the silly Frappuccino arguments.

The amount of cryptocoin created by mining each day is fixed. The amount of electricity used to get it determines its distribution. The more electricity you use relative to your mining peers, the more you’ll get.

The incentive in this case is to use infinite energy unlike any other use case.
There's an axiom in discussions here where Twitter needs saving.
Why?
In what way is it non successful?
In what way is it broken?

I mean most Twitter discussions I ever saw are disgusting or plain dumb mascarading as profound.

I don't think the medium of a public square like that is a good thing, and I would be happy to see its demise.
But it seems successful in the way it usually lead the public discourse similarly to how newspapers did. So what's exactly wrong with Twitter from that perspective? It seems very successful.
Infinite Canvas
Yes! At trinity college in dublin. Very interesting language with the pre and post specs.
It can mean that or more likely means "We have gone past the usefulness of async short texts as a means of conversations."

Text/tweets are useful but are sub optimal for actually discussing stuff like this. Voice is so much better in this case.
I personally believe that the goal of ads should not be to hook you on new products just because they can. They should not be to sell you on a problem that you don't have. They should not be to pile on tons of "marketing" and look professional and presentable and whatever.

Ads should show you things that you needed anyway; things you wouldn't have known to look for, or didn't find when you did. Things that actually solve problems that you actually have, where you see the utility as soon as you see them.

For example, 45drives has their ads down. They contain nothing more than a little joke, a product image, and a link to their website. You'll know if you need it; they're not trying to market to you or convince you of anything. They know you will come when you're ready.

Advertising culture is currently extremely hostile and I hate it.
“Trusted” in what sense? Uploading your ID is a form of trust verification, trusting that the person posting is who they say they are.
The blame is on the mobile vendors (and desktop platform vendors) just trying to "out-innovate" each other (also building propietary security/signing solutions) with their propietary stacks (SwiftUI/ObjC, Java/Kotlin, C#,etc) at the same time as there's been an explosion of apps/services that just needs basic functionality. The budgets/manpower isn't there to support everything... apart from if it's just a webview.

20 years ago a Windows program was enough (guess why Visual Basic was so popular?).

There's also a flip-side to the equation, the web-platform is damn capable thanks to the relentless pacing (both in features and JIT improvements in JS engines) after IE died off and catching up to it is becoming harder every day.

Looking today the only real choices for cross-platform dev seems to be: WebView, React Native (using Expo is a damn smooth experience almost to the level of webviews) and finally Xamarin/C#. (Yeah, I'm aware of Dart/Flutter but isn't it already long overdue to be killed by Google?)
Nobody cares though. Investors only care about short term. When it stops making money they will just move their money somewhere else. When you can get out of the game at any time there is no incentive to think long term for those at the top. The Executives are told to make money today. And why not? They will leave soon too. To run another company for a few years doing the same thing. The only people who are interested in long term viability are customers and low level employees. And their opinions don't matter.
I've already seen ads like those, some even pushing their political stuff.

They don't have enough perceived capital to start a family, hence why so many give up and spend it.

And in several countries, saving was a net negative on one's ability to purchase a home unless you lived immensely frugal. For several years, potentially still ongoing.

No way the exposure from this outweighs the 5 months of wasted dev time.

It's salvaging a silver lining from a shitty situation, nowhere near a good thing yet alone "best thing to ever happen to them".

I will be honest, even if I would inherit a fortune 2x as large I would still not be able to achieve what that guy has done. Impressive regardless of any inherited ‘privilege’. Sure he is a little weird but who isn’t.
How do we fix this loop in companies? It is a very serious problem for humanity’s future. It exists in government too. How do we reward long-term thinking and decisions?

There's too much focus on Frege (as well as Russell and Wittgenstein) in analytic philosophy.

You would think people such as Boole, Peirce, Łukaiewicz, Tarski, Brouwer, Heyting, Gentzen, Prawitz, Girard, and Martin-Löf are mere footnotes in the history of logic. Yet their work is more relevant and used by working mathematicians and computer scientists.

This makes no sense. Both sides of this interaction already seem to agree that the child should be restricted.

One uses it as a justification for the sanitizing of the internet and the other thinks it should be the parents job.

Yeah as sibling commenters here allude to, I wasn't referring to accents; that's more about content accessibility and your target audience. You won't get your content taken down because of your accent.

It's more about cultural norms of acceptability - curse words are the obvious example but there's broader & more subtle cultural considerations w.r.t. what's acceptable to discuss and how it should be approached.

I'd like to see integer types for C/C++ that are able to saturate or trap on overflow - or both types. I'm pretty sure it's even been proposed as a C standard but was rejected or postponed.

> The owner of the company, when pressed to admit some measure of culpability, infamously answered, "We have been supplying a legitimate professional demand and not once could have foreseen the unlooked-for results. I do not feel that there was any responsibility on our part."

Could be a statement made by a drug company owner in the late 1930s, or an autocratic-government-friendly exploit broker in the early 2020s. Plus ça change.
That is a fascinating perspective, which makes sense. I would add that the concept of adultness is also related to seeing a person who is the "adult in the room" regardless of age. In specific, when a situation had a lot of risk and uncertainty, there is a person who can stay calm, likely positive, and always have a plan of what to do to respond.

I read that growing up means finding yourself in circumstances where there are often no other "adults in the room," but you can step up and take the responsibility to manage any uncertainty.
Not sure a lot of G rated Disney films could be considered low budget.
I think I am growing tired of the entertainment industry seemingly solely catering to the fantasy world though.

I've stopped going to see movies since the Superhero Wave began — which means for like the past decade or more. I have to go back to earlier eras in film to find what I would call "adult" films (at the risk of enraging a number of people).

Hey, I love LEGO, like building plastic models of space ships, all of that. But I like some vegetables in my diet as well.
