Saying that it happened to channels that were inactive is misinformation!

Telegram allows editing post, some of those"stolen usernames" were of channels that were active; i.e. posts were edited, and links were replaced, comments were enabled so channel masters can keep connected with their audience.

Those channels were also compensating for the absence of advanced bio, status, and as introduction methods where their links were posted on the profiles' "about me" section.

Those channels, as many of Telegram users who were affected say that they did nothing wrong, their channels, though have no new posts, were actually "active and alive", and that their only fault was that they were using some Telegram features that Telegram itself did not respect.
In Go you can use "go version -m my-go-binary" and get a list of dependencies and other build information. For example (may wrap a bit ugly on HN):

[~]% go version -m =godoc

So scanning your binaries, if you want, is fairly easy.

Other than that, this is the "Great Static vs. Dynamic Linking Debate", which has been done quite a few times. I have little desire to repeat it, but both approaches have their advantages and downsides, and with good tooling (like the above) I think many downsides of static linking can be managed quite well.
Easily switching between two different software systems is a non trivial engineering problem that deeply constrains design.

This is terrible for consumers if it means software can’t be improved.

>Yes, exactly, which is why banning/suspending them is wrong. A joke can hit or land based on who is hearing it. You not liking it doesn't mean it's inherently hateful.

This logic doesn't work for moderation. There ultimately needs to be a judge. Otherwise, "I was just joking" becomes a get out of jail free card for any Twitter moderation.

>No, Progressives treat it this way because they are scared of their base. If you talk to many in private there are serious questions that they are too scared to raise. But I'm telling you, if they don't raise them, they could politically suffer from it.

You are still skipping over my point. You are placing the blame for not compromising on progressives, so tell me what they should do. What do think is the middle ground between progressives and conservatives who think trans people are mentally ill and shouldn't be allowed to express their trans identity in public? How do you compromise with people with that view?

>This is just factually wrong. It requires you to allow them in women's sports despite tremendous advantages, in women/men's bathrooms (probably the lesser controversial ones,) to be legally held responsible for misgendering, to chemically/hormonally alter children, etc. That is societal buy-in. That is not the same as allowing a Jewish person to practice their Sabbath, employing a black person, or allowing a gay man to get married. I can't even think of anything remotely comparable.

We are not even debating any of those issues because the belief that the Babylon Bee is putting forward is so extreme as to be unwilling to concede on any of it. Levine wasn't competing in a high school girls soccer game. She wasn't trying to use a public women's room. She isn't threatening legal action based off being misgendered. She is simply doing her job the same way all her colleagues are and yet she is subject of public ridicule and death threats for simply existing.

How do you think that gets fixed? Do you think there is some negotiation to be hard in which progressives promise to give up arguing about high school sports and conservatives will stop sending death threats to any openly trans public person?

>It is actually very relevant and the fact that you can't see that is frustratingly hilarious. It's also funny you say it's not a weight-lifting competition, when a person born a male could theoretically enter a women's weight-lifting competition and completely dominate...and it would be unquestionably supported by some people.

Fine, explain the relevancy. Tell me how that USA Today article supports "the idea that a tran-woman could actually feel and experience the challenges a biological woman faces" or challenges "the fact that many base their identity on media stereotypes rather than the very diverse experiences of womanhood".

And yes, I specifically was referencing weightlifting as an issue in which nuance can exist. I was contrasting that with an issue in which no nuance can exist, the idea that sex and gender are the same and both are binary. You either believe that or you don't.
> ImportC is a fantastic stuff that Walter is working on.

I agree, it's one of the things that stands out when you decide to pick a system language: "how does it play with C? can i easily consume the ecosystem?"

> Rather focus on just LDC or GDC and drop DMD altogether. DMD is a good piece of software, but for such a small community, I find it alarming that they waste human effort across 3 different compilers and still complain lack of resources.

I disagree, there is value in having your own backend, DMD compiles so fast, it's a comparative advantage, they should never give that up

GDC/LDC are great because that allows D to be highly portable, even if they are slower to compile than DMD

Even Zig people decided to maintain their own self hosted backend for that reason, performance and independence

They learnt from D, a real language has its own backend, if you don't then you are just LLVM sugar
And here we go, again.

> Your evidence for masks working is ... movies?

Not evidence. Graphical demonstration of common sense behavior by other humans that can be mimicked, because if someone is operating at the level of "masks don't work" or "a cloth mask will protect" then that is apparently what's needed. An individual doing a menial task of spraying paint or grinding metal and then blowing out black snot quickly understands the purpose of air filtration, but social media is a hell of a drug.

"Masks" having no effect on Covid isn't an indicator of much, because >90% of the population never wore real respirators that provided actual incoming air filtration. You're essentially beating the strawman of the people wearing cut up t-shirts to "protect others", which I agree was also dumb tribal behavior.

Putting it simply - why has air filtration been standard operating procedure in bio labs, long before Covid? The question about Covid specifically isn't some "yes/no", but ultimately an engineering problem of what type of filtration is effective.
What is missing from every discussion like this are the constraints over V.

AFAIK, nobody has ever managed to formalize any. Economists either imposed them by definition and let it float freely... Yet, the thing is very clearly highly constrained on practice. So the flow volume (MV) is somehow highly dependent on M, but not completely defined by it.

Might depend on your location.

For instance, in France a lot of freelancers are currently considered like "disposable employees": this borderline legal (your client is not supposed to have a subordination link on you) but as there is a real lack of candidates, that's what the market is going currently.

However, in your case these gigs might what you are looking for: 6+ months long-term contracts, working on already rolling projects, with lots of bugs to fix nobody want to fix internally because not sexy enough.

My strategy would be to look a job offers, and offer consulting services instead of full-time. You never know.

None of those categories seem to be "caused" by underfunding or unappreciation, except perhaps the faker.js issue? There are more incidents in that category though, for example many Python developers stopped maintaining their projects in protest when pypi.org put additional requirements on people whose projects were particularly popular (those people were forced to enable 2FA).
FWIW, I've been playing around with Joy (Manfred von Thun's concatinative language) and there's definitely "something there" IMO.

For one thing, I've come around to the view that syntax is waaaay over-emphasized in our current languages. The way I like to put it is syntax is a MacGuffin, "an object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters, but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself." You have to have some syntax to write programs, but not nearly as much as we typically use.
I haven't dug into Om yet, but Joy feels like the simplest useful language.
(BrainF*ck is simpler but harder to use, Lisp and Forth are more complex.)

For another, the concatinative systems seem to be simpler to reason about than Lambda Calculus-based systems (most current PLs.) What I mean is, these languages fulfill Backus' vision of FP systems wherein you can derive programs by doing algebraic manipulation of programs. (You can do this in any language, of course, but Joy et. al. seem to make it especially easy.) I suspect this has something to do with Category Theory (see http://conal.net/papers/compiling-to-categories/ )

All this to say, if you haven't already, do have a look at Concatinative languages.
That'd be a great addition!

Historically, the list of architectures that public github action runners make available has been quite limited. Having an alpine runner to surface unsupported commands would be a huge win.

That being said, it's very useful as a plugin dev to have this test suite while working on a WSL2/Ubuntu so that I don't need to run a full CI build every time
It is not possible to be only good at fixing bugs. I believe OP is referring to a preference, not a single area of expertise.

It's very possible they got burned out by the constant death marches for more and more features and never addressing any tech debt along the way. Many programmers can relate to that.

I as a senior programmer would like just one such gig in my life as well, to be honest. But seeing that decision-makers like you misinterpret it as "You can only fix bugs and not do anything else a programmer does? No thanks." fills me with despair.
> our model of society is not compatible with open source

I’d say evidence is to the contrary. This message wouldn’t be possible without open source working on multiple devices at every layer of the network.

I think the problem of funding open source well, that is a different problem and has a lot of the same problems getting anything funded does. Not every piece of code can have an enterprise built around it, and that means there will be no one to even look at bugs.

Finally, let’s talk about volunteering. Most often volunteering is doing something that doesn’t get cash budgeted towards it. You go in doing something necessary but unbudgeted because you want to… and with no reward other than knowing you made something work. Maybe you even give up something you could be doing with time instead of volunteering. Manning the directions kiosk at the hospital, picking up garbage in a neighborhood, nailing the roof onto a house the owner can’t afford to buy, putting letters in envelopes, and answering the phone at a fundraiser are all examples of this. You know what you are getting in to and you know what you are getting paid. No injustice in it at all. And for a lot of people it’s the most important thing they do.

> No citizen ever voted for any of the commissioners that come up with these regulations.

So what?

Nobody ever voted for any US president too, if that's your concern.

Besides, commission is formed by delegates one for each country and they are not bound to the political institutions of their country exactly to ensure independence from local politics.

They represent the interest of the EU.

Approval of legislation proposals presented by the commission is the duty of the EU Parliament, which is made by professional politicians elected in each EU country in proportion of the population.

Each approved legislation has to be then ratified by the single Parliaments of each country, in accordance with their laws.

There is absolutely no lack of representation in EU, believe me!

Don't be that person, learn how the institutions of EU work before writing a random populist good-for-nothing comment (which seems to be a very popular sport Europeans like to play here on HN when talking about EU, for reasons I don't fully comprehend).
I went to a Vipassana retreat [1] for the 4th time in my life (over a 10 year period). It has been a while, last time since 2016. It's hard to keep up a practice, but I'm in a position to do so now that's must better suited than before. I can't go into that, since I want to keep this comment short ;-)

I've noticed a few things:

- I experience pleasant, neutral and unpleasant feelings more intensely.

- I am better capable of not reacting to my feelings (I have more choice in it). This is both needed with pleasant and unpleasant feelings as both types of feelings can come from (un)wholesome places. E.g. pleasant/unwholesome: alcohol or watching YouTube for way too long. E.g. unpleasant/wholesome: you're noticing work is boring you at the moment. You realize that you're a bit tired and could use a nap in order to feel more sharp.

- I react more intuitively to people their body language, without realizing it much myself

In short: it makes me feel more alive (quality of life has gone up) and it makes me feel more at ease around people.

There's a reason I nicknamed myself mettamage. This is the reason. Meditation (metta meditation being one of them) has changed my life so much that it has become my pseudonym on HN.

[1] https://www.dhamma.org/

Note: the practice is awesome. I'm not a fan of that they dive into Buddhist scripture that much. Fortunately, whenever they have their videos on, you can just meditate through it. More fortunately, they do mention at one of their last videos that the practice is what is important: understanding the theory that is unrelated to the practice is not important.

Examples of what I don't / do believe: I don't believe in water, fire, earth and air being the core elements of the world. I don't believe the Buddha was able to notice subatomic vibrations. However, I do think that the craving/aversion framework is a useful one. I do believe that meditation can teach you a thing or two about addiction and how to overcome it.
> horror stories about demanding 'customers' who don't pay you anything but somehow expect you to drop everything

But isn’t that just a matter of setting your own boundaries? Someone demands somethign you don’t want to deliver you say “no” and that is it. If they are unpleasant about it you block or filter them.

You don’t own them anything. Not legally, and not morally. Just say no.

Or if you feel like it today say yes, and when the circumstances change say no. No biggie. You didn’t promise anyone anything. Any expectation on their part is a figment of their imagination.

Just don’t wrap yourself into pretzels over other people being unreasonable.
Also, inadequate home insulation.

https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2021/03/14/lik...

"Peak heating load in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas-managed grid matched the amount of generation that failed. Electric heating was nearly twice the load ERCOT had to drop. No vast heating peak, no shortage."

"Two-thirds of Texas homes were built before statewide home energy codes began in 2001. Half the state’s homes still leak hot or cold air and have little or no wall insulation, limited attic insulation, and low-efficiency single-pane windows."

Improving insulation would also reduce the summer cooling peak in power demand, and allow shifting of some of that daily load to off peak times by pre-cooling homes.

> Amazon said Thursday that revenue growth in its cloud-computing unit slowed in the third quarter to 27.5%, missing analysts’ estimates. It’s the slowest expansion since at least 2014, the year Amazon started reporting on the group’s finances.

Really these kind of 'weak revenue based on _predictions_' articles are getting ing ridiculous. That's still a crazy high growth. AWS has better cloud competition than ever before, cloud computing is nearing fuller market penetration, and 27.5% growth is "weak". It's only framed as "weak growth" if you compare it to unsustainably crazy fantastic growth the last decade. At a certain point everyone that's likely to move to the cloud will be in the cloud.

That is what should change. The largest twit accounts, whether they use API or not, should be charged directly by twitter for the value of reaching their many followers. Twitter the firm is infamously bad at improving anything, but this would be a way of recruiting a variety of capable parties into important efforts like fighting bots, spam, harassment, etc. Also there would be lots of money. This was obvious ten years ago.

I wonder why they'd leave their home systems? There's no reason to suspect there's anything out there that they can't make close to home - presumably it's all just mass and energy (which are on some level the same thing anyway). Depending on the type of star they live around (seems like a fair assumption they need a star for energy), it'll run down quickly or slowly, but so will every other energy source in the universe. That is to say that I think the answer to the Fermi Paradox is simple, everyday Nihilism.

> These always ignore the fact that a large chunk (maybe the majority?) of OSS development happens during working hours at an existing employer.

Do you have any sources for this? It doesn’t seem right to make a vague statement (a large chunk) which sounds bad, nor a somewhat less vague conjecture (maybe the majority?) without sources.

In my very limited experience, any developer who is significantly supporting OSS with code contributions is a high contributor for their employer, and if they don’t always do the agreed-upon number of hours/week for their employer, I doubt it’s far off. So I disagree with you anecdotally, which doesn’t matter much, and I question your sources, which matters more.

Climate is basically long-term weather. "Nitrogen" doesn't affect the temperature or rain or clouds, so it isn't climate.

FYI when they say nitrogen they don't mean it literally – it's a code-word for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ammonia (HN3).
Stop Matter
I think AWS itself has actually eased up on the "cloud saves costs" story, shifting more to "be more agile in how you spend" (see for example [1]). Arguably one of their biggest advantages over regular hosting is that deploying resources is as far removed as possible from any mention of payments, thus skipping the procurement processes that usually occur in companies.

That way around internal red tape keeps attracting large companies, and the free credits keep attracting startups. I don't think this dip is anything more than a readjustment to a post-pandemic world, where more happens offline and thus slightly less online.
