> Whenever I tell civilians that I’m a web designer I get the sense
that they place me in that other category

It's hurtful when institutions, ideals and identities that you've
aligned yourself with turn rotten, and sully you by implication. I
went through a patch of never telling anyone I once worked at BBC,
even though it's a great institution and I loved my work and
colleagues there, because who would leave you alone with their kids!?
Recently I've stopped saying I'm a "computer" scientist/techie except
to other techies. Random strangers at parties just assume you're up to
something nefarious. A writer maybe, who happens to be a computer
guy. I get most warmth and connection from identifying as a
"hacker". Most people then immediately raise the ethical question of
whose "side" I am on. The good guys, of course. I feel for web
designers, because I don't see much good left about the modern "web"
to stand up for.
It gets worse; to keep people in the workforce they can do the opposite, steer compatible people away from each other during the optimal reproductive window.

If you pay a twice the rental cost and watch the movie a dozen times, that’s your moneys worth. Nobody wants to hold onto a DVD for 20 years to rewatch an old movie again and again and again and pass it onto their grandkids. This is just ridiculous, streaming movies is absolutely the future. The days of 50tb drive arrays with every Hollywood movie are over not because of a new world order but because the time trade off and all that effort just isn't worth the $4 to sit and enjoy the movie in one of your finite days on Earth
To sum up the article, they claim:

* Somebody (probably America) sabotaged the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline.
* That's related to the war in Ukraine because? wars are always about resources?
* The EU doesn't have any options to replace the gas that needs to come from Russia.
* That's going to drive all EU citizens back to an agrarian lifestyle.
* And also, the EU is too weak of an institution to defend its citizens.

It reeks of conspiracy theory to me. EU citizens should hate the US for driving them into poverty and should embrace Russia invading their neighbor.

One of the first results that comes up for me when I search "Nordstream 2" is the Brooking institute discussing similar conspiracy theories spreading among podcasters in the US, parroting the Kremlin: https://www.brookings.edu/techstream/u-s-podcasters-spread-k...
The joke is that corporations do performative political acts to appear socially conscious. They are using hyperbole based on this stereotype to joke that Applebee's (a relatable family diner) has done something incredibly minor (limiting the scope to "to-go orders" while still allowing her to sit down) as a political stunt. The joke arises from the contrast between the seriousness of the allegations and the minorness of the punishment.

It's not good comedy, but the basis of a joke is there.

With an analytical database like ClickHouse, you can write many rows with a single INSERT statement (thousands of rows, millions of rows, and more). In fact, this kind of batching is recommended. Larger inserts will consume more write units than smaller inserts. Check out our billing FAQ for some examples, and we will be enhancing it with more detail as questions from our users come in (we'll work on clarifying this specific point): https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/manage/billing/ We also provide a $300 credit free trial to try out your workload and see how it translates to some of the usage dimensions. Finally, this is a Beta product, so keep the feedback coming!
As much as I hate monkeypatching as a design principle... and I do!... it does make it much more effective to have a highly extensible scaffolding that doesn't have to include everything in the scaffolding itself, but can plug in very sophisticated things to the base scaffolding later with a simple import statement.

My personal opinion is that the disadvantages of this approach still far, far outweigh the advantages... but let it not be said I don't recognize that there are some advantages to it even so. :)
> any time you have a vaguely specified component with "manager" in its name

This seems to be a limitation of class based OOD and the absence of free standing functions. There needs to be a place for code to exist which operates on disparate data types and structures. I’ve found that creating singletons that replace the word Manager/Utility with Lib doesn’t offend the sensibilities as much.

I've always understood this and it doesn't bother me, at least for iTunes/Apple movies.

Yes, you get less than a DVD/Blu-Ray in that the media could potentially disappear.

But you also get more. It works on your computer, your phone, your iPad, and instantly on every TV in your house that has a streaming device. It works when you travel. You can download every movie you "own" to every device you have, almost instantly, as many times as you want. You don't have to worry about storing, losing, or damaging the disc. You can start a movie on your laptop, pause, and automatically pick right up where you left off on your phone or iPad or TV. You don't have to go to a store, or order a disc online and wait. You don't have to pay for shipping. With Apple, and least, you don't even have to buy new media when new technologies appear - every video I've ever purchased has been upgraded to HD, and then to 4K and HDR when they became available, all for free. And with Apple at least, "Family Sharing" lets all of your family members stream or download the movie to their devices as well.

Yes, it's possible that Apple or Amazon could take away movies that you own. But the public outcry would be massive. And I've been "owning" videos from Apple for 10+ years without issue, so I feel pretty comfortable with it at this point.

Well thats pretty easy. The art world only cares about three things, making money, finding suckers to give them money, and tax avoidance schemes.

IMO this works for RPCs, ORMs, and certain event streaming architectures but not REST APIs beyond some trivial cases. As soon as you might want separate middleware processors but the same terminal handler it starts breaking down.
> Apple was clearly headed towards usb-c anyway, so I doubt this law changes much in their plans.

Highly doubt it. In any case, the aim of the EU was to create a standard or at least force the industry into coming up with one - and had Apple been allowed to keep their proprietary connector, the competition would be completely correct in claiming "why should we keep using the standard while Apple can get away with MFi licensing income?".

So, in order to actually keep the standard a standard, Apple now has to be openly forced. I doubt this regulation would have been done if Apple had signalled to be moving away from Lightning.

> There's nothing wrong with the way iPhone charges.

Well. I'm lugging around one cable which charges all my devices from bike lamps to powerbanks. And there is a totally different cable I'm also lugging around to charge my iphone. Why is that necessary?

Also my iphone charging cable frays all time, while my "everything else charging cable" does not.
> If you can't play it outside of the locked down Apple ecosystem which is checking your license, then you don't own it.

The DRM does not require being online to verify once it's been set up
Apple already does that with chargers, new iPhones no longer come with charging bricks, just the cables. I'd be fine with not including the cables if the phones were USB-C, but since they're Lightning the likelihood of a new iPhone user already having a cable that will work is very low.

(Massimo Gramellini - corriere.it) - For anyone who feels like a citizen of Europe, it was sad to see proof that our German-speaking compatriot Olaf Scholz essentially thinks of his own comforts. Not content with having backed the Dutch comrade in turning a deaf ear (it must be said) to the request to put a ceiling on the price of gas, the chancellor of Berlin hijacked two hundred billion of the German budget on the German bills, with many greetings to whom - for example the Italian budget - those two hundred billion do not have them.

I don't think you are really good at something. Most things you get good at come from doing them a lot. It's pretty unlikely you are going to stumble into a thing that you are incredibly good at without spending a lot of time doing it. You might stumble into something that is similar to things you've done in the past that make you better than most when starting out. You might find things you enjoy enough to keep doing even though you are not very good at them at first.

The two things I'm pretty good at are wrestling and public speaking. I'm good at wrestling because I spent 8 years doing it in high school and college. I'm good at public speaking because I spent 10 years doing it in college and after college. I was pretty bad at both of these things when I started. The only advantage I had was that I was willing to push myself and I enjoyed them enough to keep doing them.

Anything related to those two things I tend to be better than the average person at them. But anyone who has focused on some subset of those things for a significant period of time will likely be better than me.

TLDR: Dont focus on finding something you are good at. Focus on finding something you like, keep doing it, and eventually you will be really good at it.
My favorite "based on a true story" film is Hidalgo (2004). It's about a guy who takes a mustang horse to some multi-day desert race in the Middle East. He wins, gets a bunch of money, buys a shitload of mustangs and frees them all.

And it really happened... ish. Like, the guy the movie is based on, he did tell that story. But the actual race, never happened. There's no record of the guy ever setting foot in that part of the world. But yeah, he did tell the story in that movie.
Oof. And I was just lamenting repos littered with .DS_Store files...
I obviously meant for digital movies, even if I forgot that detail
"Programmer" is the new "banker".
One can get lost talking about such details. It is a fact that the act of programming is a very elaborate means of modeling physical events. In fact we can simply map language->compiler->machine-code->physical-device and note that our programs in language x are in fact obscure models directing physical devices.

Fundamentally (as significant to software), physics gets you Pauli Exclusion, relative time, distance, and of course energy (computational power). This has huge ramifications for software and why it resists becoming an 'engineering' field. But it does -not- imo preclude the possibility of effective and comprehensive notation for software definition.

p.s. since you are a lisper, you are already 1/2 way there to a universal modeling approach. I assume you would answer in affirmative to the question 'is there a viable universal textual notation for defining software?' with "Yes, it's called s-expression'. [In that case you would be] simply denying that a graphical analog can be developed. On that, consider the janky [early] attempts of everyone's ancestors in developing their alphabet/glpyh systems, currently in use.
> replacing the battery means replacing half the laptop, app..cough..le

These kind of comments are surprisingly common on HN and annoy me slightly.

Yes, most phones and laptops do not have user replaceable batteries anymore. It's a pity. That does not mean a dead battery is a justification to throw away fine equipment.

Any phone repair shop or computer shop can replace batteries. They usually have all the equipment and spare parts, even more so for popular Apple devices. It usually takes half an hour and costs way less than replacing the whole device.

I always recommend that to friends and family because most of them are not even aware this is possible. They usually thank me later saying how painless and affordable it was to give a second life to their devices.
> I think we need a slightly more specialised word than 'intuitive' and we don't have it.

Idiomatic is close.
Belief is irrelevant. What they've actually done, that's what matters. Belief can only show you how far they have fallen from the mission statement.

As someone else pointed out, the micro-b thing in the EU was a recommendation and not a mandate so the terms are a bit different here.

I would be happy to have Apple move to Type C, but I do question if an actual mandate (and not a recommendation) could prevent future USB connector adoption in the EU market.

> But what's the semantic purpose of these operations?

The list is infinite, but let's use a very simple one which is the focus of this article: Names of things.

You name a file on a case insensitive filesystem. Should the case insensitivity only apply to certain encodings, or all of them? You'll need to do a case transformation and string comparison to make this work.

You create an email address, per rfc6531. You'll need to deal with case flattening, string comparisons, and lexical parsing.

These are not strange operations. These are not only common they are obviously required operations, because names identify things and names (eg emails) are often structured and must be parsed and understood.

Can you imagine the fallout if software developers said "sorry, you can only search for ASCII names because we think indexing unicode strings is a very strange thing to do?"
Off hand, it sounds like you're good at trying new things and handling a lot of variety in your work.
Both had buttons and a monochrome screen, and ran programs.

What got my attention was how slowly text was painted on the screen, in the ad. I wonder if that was artificial. People used to be weirded out by computers being "too fast". They thought it must be taking a shortcut and not processing everything it ought to. Coders had to insert delay loops so it would look like something was happening. Yes, really true.

My employer in 1982 bought a Xerox CP/M machine, thinking it ought to have some PARC mojo. Probably that one.

This is a textbook piece of propaganda targeting the smart people, a real gem. The core principle lies in this sentence "The war in Ukraine is mostly a sideshow". With fascinating lightness it completely inverts the size of a story of one of the biggest countries in the world becoming fascist and attacking a neighbor in most boody war since WW2 which was several years in the making and a story of one infrastructure attack. The war and it's culprit is too obvious to attack directly, but what a propagandist can still try is to shift focus from the obvious main story to uncertain sidestory and switching their importance. Using the uncertainty of the sidestory it's then possible to use a lot of true arguments which convinces even the smart people if they miss the initial "significance inversion".

> AFAIK services offered in one EU country have to work throughout the EU

Streaming services are a bit of a special case: they can have different access in different places, but the location that counts is the users home location. So e.g. a national sports league can license exclusive rights to different streaming services in different countries, and in your home country there is only one choice, but if you sign up with them and then travel, you still can access it, even though the "exclusive" contract for that country is with someone else.
As an EU citizen, I am really happy with this decision.

I am an iPhone user, but having an iPhone is not ubiquitous here, almost all of my friends/special other, use an Android phone with USB-C. Most of their laptops, Mac or not, use or allow USB-C for charging.
This as been the case for a few years now, yet, if I go somewhere for more than a full day and forget my lighting cable, my phone will become a useless paperweight while every non-iPhone user is fine in the meantime because of the wide adoption of USB-C.
It is also ironic how Apple markets heavily on how you can take great RAW photos or videos but somehow you have to use lightning USB2 speeds to transfer them.
Lightning is barely smaller than USB-C, and clearly my iPhone thickness will not change if it switches to USB-C.

As for the e-waste generated by "having to throw all of those lightning cables", how is it not e-waste that someone buying an iPhone will have yet another lightning cable that will only be used to charge it. If we want to really be more environmentally friendly, wouldn't it make more sense to have no cable at all with the devices we buy, force the sellers to clearly tell the consumers about it and offer the cable on the side only if needed? With that cable being usb-c, the consumer don't have to think about the cable type, for non-tech savvy people, that would be "the regular charging cable" and that's it.
I would also add that all lightning cables won't suddenly go to the landfill in 2024. Many people will keep their iPhones/AirPods for a while after that date. Many would probably donate their old lightning cables to whoever needs them. In the meantime, we all already have an ever growing landfill in our homes called the cable drawer, and it is also an issue that needs to be addressed.

> What they are satirizing is in her acceptance speech she talked about "family, god and country" and the left immediately called her fascist for it

See, I don't think that's a thing that happened. And if you satirise something that never happened, but your audience all think happened, because someone on Twitter told them it happened then you're in a weird area.

And I can see how that could happen in other online cliques too. I think if it happened in a clique I was in and cared about, I'd call it out, not celebrate it. But that assumes you know it didn't happen, and that you care.

So fundamentally it's not the satire that's the problem, it's groups of people believing stuff that isn't true.
