On every project, there are always some “hard problems”.

Parts of the code nobody wants to touch. Tasks that seem too big.

Work on those. Attack the hard problems.

And if your work code doesn’t have those hard problems, you probably have a lot of free time, so get a compiler course somewhere or something.
Surely "nails in the coffin of C/C++" does not imply an all out effort to rewrite all this existing and working software from scratch.

The beast will die in the same sense Fortran or Cobol are dead: an outdated language that has no noticeable strengths in the modern world, used by a bunch of (difficult to hire) old timers to fix legacy systems.
Or review faking services. Ultimately, there's no real good way to trust stuff on the internet based on what "others like you" are saying.
And to be fair, the 1984 Macintosh relied on text far more heavily than icons. The trash can even said “Trash” underneath it!

What Jobs wanted to build was indeed radically different from Raskin’s vision. But many of the underlying ideas and principles (“No modes!”) were preserved to valuable effect.
It's almost an irony, given where they're deployed, but icons are an interface which favors the expert over the beginner.

iOS has terrible discoverability, you'd think Apple could afford to release a detailed manual, but once you've figured out what all the icons and gestures mean and do, it's fluid.

A better example is any photo or vector editor you've ever used. They all have tons of icons, all over the place, and if you want to use them, you do need to figure out what they mean. Even with keyboard shortcuts, the selected tool is indicated with the icon.

Programmers are heavily biased towards using words for everything, it's a strength in the context of the profession. The "any text can be selected and run as a command" interfaces are a dead end, but I'm in favor of revival, it's a great match for the kind of work we do.

But if you give an artist a drawing tool with only "Tool→Lasso→Magic Lasso" as an interface, they just won't use it.
Severance is voluntary unless they signed a contract up front. Legally, the company could flip a coin and give every other person severance. If they wanted to “get around” severance they just decide not to do it regardless.

Of course a person has to have some sort of opinion of it under such conditions, but is it going to come down mostly condemning the weapons enabling the aggressor or thankful for the weapons that enable some measure of violent defense?

The Slaughterbots campaign argued, rightly, I think, that advanced autonomous lethal weapons should be suppressed because they enable unethical uses and unscrupulous actors far more than legitimate defense.

It can't really be seen in isolation from the environment (social, economical, etc) it's going to come into I suppose, but in the real, concrete world we have creating them is not a neutral act, and some of the consequences are reasonably predictable.
I find your comment puzzling. So your objection is that we cannot restate or emphasize the opinion that this thought experiment is flawed?

If so, duly noted.
At least in the United States there is the jurisprudence of stare decisis. Case law is the only place where the details of how copyright are applied to software are hashed out. I don’t see this changing in the foreseeable future.

> Money is an abstraction of reputation and honor

Not in every part of the world. In many places, the dominant culture assumes people got rich by cheating and stealing. Which doesn't mean rich people aren't courted -- money's attractive in and of itself; but they don't get much true respect by default.
How much time are you spending on these artifacts? Sprint planning and 'tickets' should take at most a few hours a sprint for developers (my effort is much higher, of course), standups are 15 minutes a day, points are just estimates.

My personal experience is so diverse that I am pretty sure I don't look good for many opportunities. Thus I resort to highlighting specific relevant experience for any application, and doing it with a cover letter is so much easier than rewriting the CV for any opportunity I find interesting.

I really dislike android drawing(and other similar) apps that present a cluttered interface with a dozen of cryptic icons.I much prefer words.

Or at least give me a choice.

I like how many macOS programs let you have both the icon and the name of the icon under it in the toolbar. It's especially helpful when I'm new to a program and learning its functions.

But opening something like Photoshop or Affinity Photo or Illustrator that I only use maybe once every few months, and it's all hieroglyphics.

And Photoshop makes it worse by piling multiple functions into one icon. So flood fill and gradient are the same icon, and box and circle are the same icon; so the tooltip is useless.

Additionnally the beauty of the web is that for the most part[1] the user has full control over how he want to show the content as the code is interpreted locally. Custom css, your own fonts, which js you execute, your own page treatment. You can do whatever post treatment you want with the content provided.

[1] Lazy loading through javascript makes it a bit less true but it rarely concern opinion/text stuff and for the most part web applications on which data can be also accessed through an api. The rest are dubious social medias that try to steal your life, attention span, privacy and make you an addict for commercial purpose and are best avoided like all hard and dangerous drugs.
I have a PhD in theoretical quantum optics and I can assure you that it absolutely was (and still is) a mainstream explanation

Doesn't that point the other way? The correct posture for transverse flute is difficult to learn, and so your teacher needs to spend a lot of time making sure kids do it right so they don't hurt themselves.

Sure, and as a potential home buyer in croatia, I have my qualms with airbnb and wealthy young western tourists causing every dump to be rented out and driving up real-estate prices. I just think that writing about a leaking flush tank like it's some kind of emergency doesn't make the case against airbnb hosts stronger.

Nah, you may need a ride every once in a great while, but in most counties you can get by just walking or biking so long as you live in the county seat. Most services are still consolidated within a couple square miles.

The bigger difference is that you can be incredibly poor and still have a house. We didn't have utilities a decent portion of the time growing up because we were so poor, house was in condemn-worthy condition for most of the time we lived there (roof, basement), but my mom's mortgage was, and still is, around $200 a month.
I had a similar (bad) adventure on Booking.com - dirt, crawlies, so I packed and went somewhere else. Booking.com didn't do anything about refunding "oh we contacted the host and he said nah" so I called the credit card company who refunded me the transaction. Lesson learned. From then on I check Booking.com for locations then compare the offers on hotel sites and lo, often they're cheaper when booked directly. And renting directly from people, that's left to you folks more adventurous than me.

I find it annoying that they've apparently chosen to rebrand it. It used to just be called "Ansible". Just because Red Hat sponsors it, doesn't mean it's name has to change. It's not a UK football ground (whose names change depending on which middle-eastern despot funds the resident club).

As you say, it could be that an algorithm gets broken before its "expiry date" or remains secure well past that (look e.g. at AES). There is a similar but better alternative, usually called "opnionated cryptography". A protocol specifies a single cryptographic primitive for each type needed (hash function, block cipher etc) so no negotiation is needed. If one of the primitives gets broken, a new version of the protocol is released that uses a different primitive.
It's true. Most of the info they supposedly traded on just wasn't secret. Most people and even most investors probably don't sit around reading CDC and WHO press releases but anyone could have found this info and made the same conclusion.
Also, if you are too impatient to wait until tomorrow, you can just click through on the program you see links for the 2020 and 2021 Nim Conferences.

> Alas, turning the other cheek just gets you slapped! If you cooperate & they cheat, you lose a coin while they gain three. (score: -1 vs +3) However, if you both cheat, neither of you gain or lose anything. (score: 0 vs 0) Therefore: you should CHEAT.

This is completely absurd. Of course "turning the other cheek gets you slapped"!! How could it not? That's the whole point. If your primary objective is vengeance, and you don't want to ever be slapped, then don't turn the other cheek.

But then all your energy will be consumed by a vigilante and resentful dynamic, and you'll be sad and angry.
>Then it's up to the jury to decide which is more believable.

And anyone who the prosecutor will stereotype as potentially having too much critical thinking skills or skepticism of the prosecution will get tossed from the jury.
There are many, many cities with much lower crime and much higher Gini coefficients than SF. Suggesting the crime problem we're discussing is the cause of income inequality is almost deliberately misleading.
For an even weirder appearance, it seems to be like positioning some of the resonating body of the viola behind the neck would let you increase the effective length and also massively improve balance. You're limited in that the bow can't go farther back than your chin, but it still seems promising.
> Javascript was created for the Netscape Navigator browser in September 1995 and was submitted to Ecma International November 1996 [1] to start the standardization process. That was probably in response to Microsoft reverse engineering Javascript to create JScript in… 1996. Funny that.

So it wasn’t “proprietary” when Netscape created it. But it became “proprietary” when Microsoft copied it?

> So… yes, turns out JScript was significantly more proprietary than JavaScript and was only created to further Microsoft’s dominance of the web--“Best viewed in Internet Explorer”

Were you around then when before IE, there were plenty of sites that had “Best viewed in Netscape Navigator”?

And don’t pretend that Navigator was a great product. In its heyday in the mid 90s, it was a point of nerd pride how well your operating system handled a Netscape crash.

IE3 was much better than Navigator on the Mac and Windows. In fact, the Max version of IE was one of the most standards compliant at the time.
Booking.com is only slightly safer than AirBnB though.
Meanwhile this 1000x worse thing happened:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/20/business/economy/james-bu...
A bunch of remarks:

Lisbon has a horrible housing crisis. Locals are barely (or not at all, in many cases) able to afford living there anymore, and airbnb has been there making the problem worse every step of the way. I hope the author gets plenty of evidence and reports this place to the authorities, then stops using airbnb.

Note that in Portugal garbage is usually collected from nearby (unsaturated green colored) lidded trash cans and dumpsters owned by the city government or entities contracted to it, where residents are expected to leave their trash. Lisbon does have a bit of a trash overload problem ongoing (more recent than the housing crisis), but there should always be a dumpster nearby where people can drop off trash for collection, leaving it right next to the container if the container is full. For this one single issue I imagine there was a miscommunication due to the language barrier.

Sometimes (speaking from personal experience), especially in a place so obviously neglected and unused, the toilet discharge issue can be as simple as grit or rust inside the tank preventing the part that drops to block off the water flow from moving, but it can be mechanically pushed down (or even washed to get rid of the grit permanently). Not to excuse the owner; just a possible way to make the author's stay a little less miserable.

It seems very hazardous to live in a place as damp as the author reported, damp enough that it attracted slugs and the water vapor likely got in the electrical system, causing a short circuit . Must be a real dump if it got this damp with the drought going on before this week. There are probably a lot of hazardous mold spores. They should have set up a dehumidifying solution immediately (three weeks ago); I would depart right away if possible.

Show HN: Restfox – Open source lightweight alternative to Postman
Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. There have been lots of improvements and fixes since the last release.

Quick list of features:

- Workspaces
- Tabs
- Nested Folders
- Lots of context menus
- Response history
- Plugins
- Runs fully in the browser and runs offline if necessary
- Chrome and Firefox extension to bypass CORS restrictions
- Desktop builds for all platforms
- GraphQL support
- Import collections exported from Postman and Insomnia
- Simple user friendly interface

I built this because I love Insomnia but wanted a portable version that I could run in the browser.

If you're tired of Postman's bloated interface and slow startup times, do give this a try.
Please explain the mistake in the article.

To be fair, the Copenhagen interpretation doesn't really fit today's world view. We have largely moved away from viewing humans or "consciousness" as something special, so the notion that an observer collapses the wave function just seems weird now.

"Many worlds" or "the wave function never collapses, you are in a superposition" both make much more sense with how we currently view the world
iOS has terrible discoverability

Absolutely. I really don't understand how people think that making controls invisible is in any way useful, or user-friendly. To me, the worst is "We just showed you this big screen of options. But we're not going to show you that you can search the options if you drag the screen downward to reveal a search bar. But you wouldn't think to do that anyway, because pulling down on a screen is the Refresh function in other places."

you'd think Apple could afford to release a detailed manual

It does: https://books.apple.com/book/id6443146864

but once you've figured out what all the icons and gestures mean and do, it's fluid

Yep. How to do something in iOS n is not how to do something in iOS n+1.

By the time you read through Apple's 74 page manual, you have a new version of iOS and have to start over again.

If you enter "data" instead, you'll get the full context of the only one of those four which is applicable.

I could quibble with some details of how these icons are designed, but I like that read and write point in the same directions as the carets in Unix redirects.

That leaves up for "make data leave this device and go elsewhere", with down for "make a local copy of this data", aka upload and download.

I must confess, however, if I saw the ISO icons in the wild, I wouldn't understand them. This is while already being aware of their existence.
What AirBnB missed was to include hotels in its listings, which would have allowed them to over a complete experience for travelers in general. booking.com started with hotels and included more AirBnB style listings.
If it's such a red flag, then maybe maybe AirBnB could have culled it from the start. I mean if listing quality was of concern.
