Similar memories and tales here :) I had a 100Mbit unfiltered connection in my dorm room in 2001 (!). Pretty wild for the time. I guess it took until about 2018 before I finally surpassed that speed at home. Nuts really.

Lots of pirating but also, thanks to it having a public static IP, a fabulous way for me to learn all about running and configuring my own web server, irc server, mail server, dns server, ftpd etc. etc. It was my gateway into experimenting with linux, discovering luminaries like DJB & RS, learning about RFCs, appreciating the open source/free software movement and probably a major reason why I ended up on a sysadmin/ops/infra trajectory after uni that still serves me well to this day.
> I donate to Wikipedia.

Have you? Wikipedia doesn't accept money. Wikimedia does, though.

> I do not feel outraged that they use whatever persuasive tactics that they use - this is necessary in the modern world.

Necessary how? For what?

I donate to Wikipedia—as a Wikipedian. I've contributed a bunch of time editing content and doing lots of gnomish things to create value so that Wikipedia is a "great service". Millions of others have, too. But neither I nor any of the other people have anything to do with your donations.

Don't misunderstand: this is not a call-to-action for revenue sharing in the vein of the articles constantly appearing about the sustainability of FOSS; I'm not saying "give us a cut". What I am saying is that the Wikimedia fundraising tactics are thoroughly unnecessary to the actual production costs of Wikipedia that Wikimedia is responsible for.

Am I outraged? No. Do I recognize what WMF is doing as borderline slimy? Yes.

I assume the small % of readers are also heavy users who don't make edits, like me. And honestly I would be thrilled to donate many many times if it wasn't for their ridiculous messaging. It's like Mozilla, stop spending my donation money on stupid doomed-to-fail projects and then I'll donate more.

Is this one of the dub hello worlds? Looks like it.... but it also says line 8 and the built in thing doesn't have a line 8. So what is the code there? If it is `assert(0)`, you're seeing the result of the test. The info is a bit spammy since it prints all the mostly-useless stack trace but there's some situations beyond hello world where the extra info helps explain why the test failed.

Bullshit.

To repeat: the ads today are more misleading and more intrusive than ever. In years past there were ads that were unlike the ones used today. (People complained about them, but I was not among them.) Those ads were successful. There's no evidence to argue that they wouldn't be successful today, too.

Facebook has problems with browsers. Sandboxed away, no file system access, and user having full control of their browser (ad blocking, noscript, and similar).

With VR you're in full control of writing a driver (and if you go full Sony style rootkit most people won't even read the news story), you have full control of what launcher/store users must use (no troubling addons like ad blocking), you have full access to video of the room that VR is happening in (if you choose to), eye tracking as you mentioned, mouth tracking is getting popular, and have full access to anything you can fit on a fitness watch (heart rate, blood pressure, alone is enough to guess a person health especially since you have their movement logs. maybe someday in the future sweat analysis).
Here’s the deal. Pay for your software or someone else will.

If you use FOSS then donate or the developer might have to pivot into adware. Or abandonware.

If the HN crowd can’t afford to financially support the FOSS they use then who will? You’re a huge group of SV types. Probably amongst the top representation of shareholders in some of the most valuable companies on the planet. Feel shame if you’re not supporting the tech ecosystem supporting your literal bottom line.

Or show that you’re an actual entrepreneur/capitalist and provide the pricey RH style support of whatever it is and make it official.

Distributed means you can run the editor UI and the actual backend on separate machines. One long-term goal of such deployments is developers just having a thin chromebook with the UI and the actual code being on a corporate server, like terminals and mainframes in ye olde days.

I believe this is a reaction to VS Code, which has supported this functionality for a while already.
> But what does distributed mean in this context? You run the editor across many machines? What does that mean?

It means that the editor is split into two (or more) parts: a UI that runs locally on the machine you're sitting in front of, and a server that can run anywhere that does I/O, analysis, debugging, etc. It's useful e.g. if you're running Windows but target Linux (run the server-side in WSL), for dev containers (run the server-side inside a container with the toolchain for your project), or to develop in/for the cloud.
functional programming overall isn't that difficult. day to day elixir work doesn't require you to understand currying, abstract types or monads. If anything it really only makes you pickup immutable data, pass by value, immutable bindings (with implicit lets)

Functional programming gets really hard when you try doing stuff like state and IO monads. Elixir in contrast gives you genservers for state which is very simple by comparison as well as having dead simple IO. you don't have to make special functions marked as IO or use any type of exotic type theory.

TLDR: yes Elixir is functional but its the 80% that is easy to learn. you don't have to bother with that last 20% of functional programming rabbit hole crazy town.

source: me with 6 years of elixir experience and having built the entire backend for my startup in elixir over the last 3 years. Elixir is s a platform that fits a nice sweet spot where you need to knock something out fast and still have something reasonably maintainable (and refactorable) that also happens to be really fast(performance wise) for the level of day to day developer productivity you get.
Mozilla is a great comparison. Compare how CEO pay goes up while Firefox users are down 85% [1].

The issue isn't "Wikipedia" having lots of money and using it to run their site. It's Wikimedia having the money and using it for stuff that has no direct connection to Wikipedia.

From a Twitter thread on a scientific research project funded through Wikimedia:

> In deciding who to fund, the key criteria was use of the Intersectional Scientific method. Everything else - a scientific background, data - was optional. What could possibly go wrong?

> One of the projects was into spatial learning in the California Two-Spot Octopus, for which the researcher got 12 hatchling octopuses.

> Unfortunately, the lab experiment went horribly wrong, killing the poor creatures before the research could be concluded.

> Fleet’s architecture is designed to support a range of configurations and workflows. You can simply run Fleet just on your machine, or move some of the processes elsewhere – for example by locating the code processing in the cloud.

Presumably this is just easy to configure integrations so you can do things like run a build job on your CI/CD platform, push/pull artifacts, deploy applications, etc.

> How can distributing a user-space shared library, no matter how fully loaded with ancient security holes, decrease the amount of security of your system?

They probably want to put pressure on publishers to use newer libraries that don’t need administrative permission, so hopefully eventually getting a version of the program that doesn’t need admin. Encouraging better security hygiene.

I agree that user-space compromise is still really really really bad.

That's not the point. The point is that meetings themselves are not work, and that in most cases they make the work more difficult.

If no meeting happened, but all the artifacts required to guide work exist and are accessible and understood, you come out ahead.

A pull request doesn't replace a meeting, but it can obviate the need for a meeting. Information sharing, done. Feedback and suggestions, captured. Goal and metrics, visible.

In my experience (working on both coding and non-coding initiatives) the most effective meetings are the ones teams ask for in addition to a thorough, async, text-driven collaborative process.

“Rug pulling” is done by scammers. This was an “experiment.” By a well-trusted company! Huge, huge difference.

> Although CNN claimed in their shutdown announcement that "Vault was originally launched as a 6-week experiment", CNN had not mentioned that the project was an experiment that was expected to possibly end. As recently as last month, Vault had been teasing upcoming events scheduled around election day in November, and encouraging users to buy more Vault NFTs to access the upcoming drops.

That might sound dishonest, but companies take time to move, to change direction. Surely this was accidental. Poor planning, not malicious intent. Like the Stadia shutdown announcement, right? And forgetting to call it an experiment early on, well, oopsies

> As an apparent attempt to placate angry users worried that the value of their NFTs might drop, CNN promised to return "either FLOW tokens or stablecoins" for "roughly 20% of the original mint price".

Ok so that roughly 80% from the NFT bag holders… uhhhh… early adopters… of what was retroactively called an experiment… but they won’t lose it all!

> However, the project is built on the Flow blockchain, where users can only withdraw stablecoins $10 at a time—and with a $4 fee on each withdrawal.

So that 20% is going to be fee’d to death, assuming it leaves the network.

But still, this was just an experiment, by a well respected company trusted with providing vetted news.

Ask HN: Technical forums that are not dominated by pedantry?
I'm finding forums like Stack Overflow to be almost unusable due to the sheer number of useless pedantic criticism that people post instead of actually answering questions.

This usually falls into one of the following:

1. Nitpickers who interpreted something in your question as incorrect. They will focus on this minor point that they think you said.

2. Dogmatists who consider what you are asking about as violating some sacred creed, like model-view-controller or following a pattern. They believe that you've violated that, and they are going to focus on that. Nevermind that you're asking about performance problems with some function, they are going to criticize you for using that function.

3. Evangelists who think you should be using newer technology Y instead of technology X. You asked a question about configuring something in X, and instead get lots of useless responses telling you to use Y. It doesn't matter your reasons for using X. X is stupid, use Y.

I suspect that if the voting/karma behaviour of these forums could be changed, there would be less of this.

But are there better forums where this sort of behaviour is discouraged?

Loss of skills is wholly plausible. Failure, over centuries of development, to re-develop those skills remains a mystery, but is also plausible.

The real mystery is that we have no hint of how those feats were achieved, or achievable, with technology they plausibly had access to at the time. There is no hint of remains of tooling that could have been used to produce many of the artifacts. Modern stonemasons have nothing that could do some of it, e.g. the Saqqara boxes. There are no aliens to invoke.

People did things that we have no clue how they did, or even of how they could have done them. What is offered -- copper chisels -- is just wildly inadequate.
The outrage is over misleading donators. Wikipedia is very cheap and in no danger of running out of money, but the ads make people think otherwise.

Additionally, only a small fraction of the money goes to wikipedia (including software dev for it).

To be fair they ship a large number of IDEs and Toolbox makes managing them a lot easier. I mostly only use IDEA Ultimate and CLion but I use the others occasionally too for certain tasks but don't necessarily have them installed all the time. Toolbox is installed on all my machines so I can simply install what I need when I need it, i.e Datagrip to generate some nice diagrams of some random DB I need to look at, etc.
And why should Silicon Valley be any benchmark? Shouldn't they aim to some cheaper locale? Maybe Eastern Europe or Africa?

Also, steel, while more expensive than concrete, is still cheap compared to many other solutions for tensile strength. Also it tensile strength is sufficient for steel reinforced concrete. Concrete itself has performance limits for compression strength.

12000 pages for an approval for a new nuclear reactor design is not a lot.

First of all, here's my source for the 12k number [1]:

NuScale spent over $500 million, with the backing of Fluor, and over 2 million labor hours to develop the information needed to prepare its DCA application. The company also submitted 14 separate Topical Reports in addition to the over 12,000 pages for its DCA application and provided more than 2 million pages of supporting information for NRC audits.

Here's the link [2] for the 14 Topical Reports, and the link [3] with the documents for the DCA (design certification application).

I personally perused some of those documents, and I didn't get the impression that they show just busywork. They seem to be (in my non-expert opinion) quite commensurate with the complexity of the project.

I for one am happy that the NRC is showing a lot of diligence when working on approving a new nuclear reactor.

And by the way, I used to be in the same camp: nuclear plants are very expensive because the NRC makes it so. But going through the rabbit hole of the NRC approval documents showed me that's not the case.

Here's an anecdote. I can't find a link now, but I'm sure with a bit of effort we could find it.

At some point during the NuScale process, one of the reviewers raised his concerns about some phenomenon around how Boron mixes with water in some edge case. Eventually the issue got resolved, apparently, since the design was approved. But the concern was highly technical, and I can only imagine NuScale spent a lot of time trying to address it. I'm sure there were thousands of cases like that. Is it possible that the NRC is overly cautious? Maybe, but I didn't get a sense they are gratuitously cautious. I just got the sense they are just doing their job, and they are thorough about it. And I like that.

I agree, but with a warchest of $400m, their budget can seemingly be funded at 2.5% withdrawal per year, so there may be no need to ask anymore. (Though personally I'd rather they spent even more and had more full time editors and researchers improving the site.)

Don't you think that's sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy? DVDs are absolutely not obsolete, and are still manufactured. Lots of content exists on DVD but not streaming. We get movies and shows at the library all the time that are not on any streaming platform.

Sure, everybody has a computer built only to stream, so streaming is the default for anybody who doesn't want to carry an external drive in their laptop bag. Design decisions influence how your product is used. Surprise, people who have phones without headphones jacks are less likely to use wired headphones.
