Sounds like my previous employer.

Almost nobody did any real work. There were meetings all day where a few people with complex accents talked over each other just to hear the sound of their voice while many people pretended to participate. Nobody wrote anything down. I really think people put so much effort into posturing that they could not write at the necessary professional level.

I was completely upfront about how little work I did to everyone I talked to.

Now I work for a small company with excellent leadership where I actually do real work all day.

Completely agree. Scale down to zero and turn off (access to/entirely) databases but do not purge any data for 6m or so, hopefully one last chance and enough time for someone to notice and go "oh no!" and pay up/export data.

Just shutting it down and deleting after notifying via email (did notices go to junk? etc?) is kinda shitty to do.

> That said, experience tells me to always get both sides of a story. Can anyone suggest a good representation of the other sides' position?

I've never understood why this is seen as a good idea. In the spirit of your statement, can you suggest a good representation of why you think this is worthwhile?

There's no natural law that issues should have two sides, and I think forcing everything into that framing is part of why our media discourse is so broken. This also promotes the misconception the truth lies in the middle, which encourages people acting in bad faith to pick extreme positions and skew the average.
What about it? The US is also the hegemon in Europe. The "West" just means the US and its network of alliances. Other Western countries may want good relations with China, but they need to take US views into account because the US bankrolls their defense and is also a very important trade partner.

> I'm not just taking it in isolation for no reason. If you have static linking, you basically have HTTPS by consequence.

Can you clarify what you mean by this because to me there is literally nothing about static linking that implies https as a consequence. The point about Go is centrally not that it uniquely has access to an https library.

The point is that it is included. This may not at first appear all that noteworthy, but this is a substantive quality of life improvement. The standard library not only provides a vary large set of common functionality it is packaged with the distribution, works on all the platforms supported by Go without user intervention, and is bound in lock step to the release version of the compiler.

Because most of it isn't interesting or relevant to you. Most data being sent isn't actually data about you, but data about the product.

This is because mobile devices are more secure and privacy preserving than the desktop platform. What you think is locking you out is actually just the platform locking everyone out so that they cripple the capabilities of malicious apps. Also keep in with that device users and app developers are both stakeholders. App developers want to keep their platforms secure which can conflict with the interests of the device users. The platform tries to balance the needs of everybody to try and make the best platform possible for all parties.

The code snippets shown on the page are almost valid Prolog syntax. The only issues that prevent them from being actual Prolog syntax are, as far as I can tell, very minor syntactic issues. For example, != cannot be defined as an infix operator in Prolog because ! is a so-called solo char and therefore != is not admissible as a single token in Prolog. The obvious fix for this concrete issue is to replace every occurrence of != in these snippets with the well-known Prolog predicate dif/2 which holds if and only if its two arguments are different.

For instance, the first example from the page:

projects_with_vulnerable_log4j(P) :-
projects(P),
contains_jar(P, "log4j", Version),
Version != "2.17.1",
Version != "2.12.4",
Version != "2.3.2".

would become:

projects_with_vulnerable_log4j(P) :-
projects(P),
contains_jar(P, "log4j", Version),
dif(Version, "2.17.1"),
dif(Version, "2.12.4"),
dif(Version, "2.3.2").

or, shorter and equivalently, by using full Prolog including higher-order predicates such as maplist/2:

projects_with_vulnerable_log4j(P) :-
projects(P),
contains_jar(P, "log4j", Version),
maplist(dif(Version), ["2.17.1","2.12.4","2.3.2"]).

This third version could of course be generated automatically from the snippet above. We could also define dif or many other tokens as infix operators, so that we can use operator notation as in the original snippet, all while keeping to standard Prolog syntax.

Analogously for |> and the let-bindings that occur in the sample snippets: Chances are that they can be expressed somehow also with standard Prolog syntax with suitable operator definitions, or with small conforming extensions if absolutely required.

The third example in the README is already perfectly valid Prolog code, and can be parsed and interpreted with every conforming Prolog system:

contains_jar(P, Name, Version) :-
contains_jar_directly(P, Name, Version).

contains_jar(P, Name, Version) :-
project_depends(P, Q),
contains_jar(Q, Name, Version).

The main issue here is: This "own Datalog" is extremely close to Prolog syntax, much closer to Prolog than any other Datalog "variant" I have so far seen on HN. The question therefore is: Why not go the small extra step and just use standard Prolog syntax? One advantage of this is that such programs could then be read and reasoned about directly (i.e., without requiring any manual parsing) with every conforming Prolog system. Another advantage is that such programs would also automatically benefit from all improvements in Prolog engines, either via meta-interpretation or by virtue of being valid Prolog programs too. For instance, the first snippet shown in the README, with the small syntactic change I outlined, is already a valid Prolog program and can be run with SICStus Prolog etc.

Using Prolog syntax does not mean that that the programs have to be interpreted in the same way as Prolog would by default. It is also possible to syntactically include constructs that cannot be directly interpreted in Prolog, but require a custom interpreter. The point about syntactic compatibility stands regardless.
I think it is the issue where ecdsa is a NIST standard that was based on an elliptic curve provided by the NSA. As the NSA has been known to suggest poor cryptography primitives in the past, many groups recommend ed25519 (same process, different and more trusted curve generation process)

There’s nothing wrong with being alone. Being alone creates stress and stress brings mental and physical illness. Once they find a way to block stress, it won’t matter. ISR. Etc.

If you want to be around people just get a job. If you want more intimate contact, get a job that brings that. Work at a daycare center and you’ll start to crave loneliness.

Loneliness is a liberal thing. Move to the Midwest. People just blurt out whatever they think. They get married at 18 almost as a rule and stay together. They involve themselves in the business of others without asking permission. The idea that loneliness is the new way of the world is just what people in the liberal bubble are seeing.

There was a time then most people couldn’t use a keyboard either. Many software developers still can’t touch type correctly. Eventually everyone either learned or found their own way, died, or is simply locked out of modern technology.

If crypto is “the way of the future”, and it some how catches on, then people are simply going to learn how it works or get locked out of future markets. Due to the seemingly large number of crypto scams, a lot of people will lose their money along the way.

Not that I think it should succeed, but if there is a truly compelling use case for everyone to switch over, I don’t think we’ll let the complexity stop us.
You don't need to profit off every single customer. Many business models make 90%+ of their revenue from 'whales' and crumbs from the rest. Optimising for consistent margin from every single customer could be a waste of time; a distraction, and could even hurt a business.
> make a […] web app

I’d make a different recommendation. If you want it on Windows, make the best Windows app you can. Take advantage of all the APIs and features the platform has to offer. If you do a good job, you will make something faster and smaller that follows the platform conventions and is comfortable to use by other people like you.

Right now I think the Mac has the healthiest ecosystem of interesting software from small developers. I’m excluding games - Windows and the three big consoles rule the games space. For personal software (like the titles you mentioned) Windows feels like it’s fading and Linux is doing what Linux has always done.

I am sure there are legitimate concerns as all countries spy on each other.

When post like these come around, it's always someone saying how they resonate and feel isolated or lonely and then someone suggesting how they can get out more, or do dinner parties or host gatherings/play-dates or whatever. Usually, if they're not doing it already, they're probably not the type to know how or feel comfortable (like myself) but would probably attend if the opportunity came around. There seems to be a mix of extroverts here who seem able to pull this off and other types who would do things once someone else took the initiative to make it happen, especially if it was relevant. I'm guessing a lot of people on this site have things in common.

What I'm getting at, is it reminded me of the flyertalk[0] forums. Some Frequent Flyers host these things called DOs/meet-ups[1][2][3] at the hubs they fly into or their base cities. Maybe Hacker News could use something like that. A lot of people seem to like travel, or have disposable income, or could just set it up in their region so it's close to drive. Just seems like a lot of people here already have things in-common, including a lack of being able to meet new friends. Personally, I'm not the type that knows anything about how to host gatherings. But, from the sounds of things, there might be some here who excel at it.

> the fact that its business model is not based on the exploitation of personal data

Is it? I suppose you can take their turning down of Microsoft as a token of good faith, but it's also possible that they just think they can cash out for more in the future. If that's the case, then accumulating a massive user dataset is very much the business model, because the business model is to eventually sell the company for as much as possible.
Come on now... You know perfectly well that "storing data" means something different to database software than some shitty LoB app. Let's not be so imprecise as to give off a disingenuous impression. The article makes almost no argument against DDD, and in fact could be a case study supporting the opposite conclusion! The author confuses architecture with design in every important way (similar to your "horizontal layers" comment).

DDD is not about how software is physically organized nor how it is deployed. You can have a traditional N-tier architecture AND follow DDD. The domain model is a logical model used to abstract the functional requirements of a system. It doesn't "lock" you in anymore than whatever else you have in place serving the same purpose. You cannot simply avoid your functional requirements. DDD is a methodology with the specific goal of drawing boundaries (answering "what" goes "where") in such a way to minimize the cost of change. If your resulting design is not doing so, you have simply failed to model your domain in a useful way.

In the author's case, maybe they really did need a generic "data integration" or "workflow engine" application. That's not an unreasonable assumption. And it follows that coupling those kinds of applications to the data/workflows contained therein would lead to all sorts of problems.

But surely he is not arguing that every application should be designed as a platform? It's considerably more difficult to design and maintain a "workflow engine" than "a single workflow", or a "data ingestion" application than to "just ingest the data". Most of the important bits in the above are already abstracted away from users.
Then let’s hope Twitter is kicked out. Musk starting some real competition would the best thing for the industry. This is the correct way to deal with the duopoly. Maybe Epic can go in on it with him.
Some languages just lack the phonemes and unless the speaker practices a lot, there is no way they will pronounce foreign names correctly, even relatively simple ones. Other languages blur certain phonemes and while they have separate sounds the speakers cannot tell the difference between the two [dark L and clear L in English for example].

So I think this is asking too much of a speaker who does not speak the foreign language. Just imagine an English or Spanish speaker landing in Podunk China. Very few of their names will be approximated by people who have not studied the foreign language.
