As someone who worked at a registrar for a few years, it's incredible how opaque the domain name industry is for customers. Even on highly technical communities like HN, people say completely false stuff about domain names, registrars and registries all the time.

Every time I see a post about "xxx registrar scammed me" or "yyy lost my domain" I'm sure the OP has no idea what actually happens, and the top comments will be people saying stupidities because they think they understand something they don't.
Doesn't surprise me, the folks behind it are the same that caused the deprecation from C++/CX, the very first time that Microsoft had something comparable to C++ Builder in productivity for C++ RAD GUI development.

It got replaced with C++/WinRT, which basically requires one to code like in the good old days of Visual C++ 6.0 alongside ATL, editing IDL files without any kind of VS tooling support and manually merging generated code.

Even the eldery MFC has better VS tooling support and COM authoring APIs than C++/WinRT.

Rust/WinRT is even years away from the C++/WinRT "productivity" in its current state, let along what .NET tooling provides, which by the way is also worse than UWP with .NET Native (e.g. no designer available, and no AOT support).

The reality is that only WinDev folks actually care enough about WinUI, the rest of us have moved on burned by these rewrites, and only a few hardcore advocates keep showing up their community calls.

I'm sure it's not for "Extendable RSS" or "Extendable Atom".

[edit] Never mind, I'm (somewhat)wrong. Both stipulate extensibility: https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html#extendingRss and https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5023#section-6.2

However in ActivityPub extensibility is specifically mentioned in the growing of the vocabulary to cover areas that the initial specification doesn't include (the way some members of the community created source forge related objects and activities).
Hey, thanks for the help.

Another question is how much the EULA can be used for legal actions. The game I want to work on explicitly says that it's forbidden to do reverse engineering and change the client.

I was reading more about that, and some lawyers say that a EULA violation can fire a sue - maybe because of the CFAA. I don't live in EUA, and neither the game's company is American, so perhaps the cases can be different in European Union?
It only mattered because the original commenter further up complained because they wanted Apple to communicate more like as you say, open source.

Myself and another were just clarifying why it is that Apple communicates the way they do, whether it’s wrong or right. I didn’t have an opinion on the matter.

If Chinese didn't copy things like STM32, many businesses would be bankrupt now.

The problem is that often manufacturers only care about big customers and view SMEs as nuisance, that's where China comes in.

I am not sure of the specific article you are looking for but I have two things that might be helpful.

There is this older famous article about hating frameworks (factory factories) - https://www.gwern.net/docs/cs/2005-09-30-smith-whyihateframe...

Many front end developers need a giant framework for no other reason than state management. When I mention that state management is ridiculous easy many incredibly smart people become frustrated and angry. Then I link them to a tiny 4 point how-to guide and while they are dancing through a wild rainbow of cognitive complexity to formulate defensive opinions than don’t make any sense.

>I wonder if the liberal west mentality is the only way to make technological progress.

Germany made significant technological progress from 1933 to 1945. They threw away their early lead in computing after the war, maybe not too unsurprising given the circumstances.

But I also think China deserves some credit for mastering the 95% approach to product development, which is now even infecting western companies.

The Chinese strategy is clearly a race to the bottom and they seem to be winning. Things like safety standards and reliability are mostly a burden if you are shoveling out to a market of consumers willing to buy anything if the price is low enough. Stealing is obviously far cheaper then R&D, which means just another market advantage.
As warning, not as victim blaming, I'd like to point out that you should never ever risk money that you can't afford to lose on high-risk investments. Especially not extremely high risk stuff like cryptocurrencies, NFTs and similar scams.

Communism after WW2 was not an ideological monolith and had two main, competing types: Soviet and Chinese.

Apparently the latter proved to be more flexible in the long run.

My father happened to attend a meeting once that turned out to be a propaganda event for Chinese communism - they gave him Mao's red book, which was promptly confiscated by security services who were standing in the exit.

No other consequences, just an unsaid, stern warning that the only accepted form of communism in this soviet satellite state is the one from Moscow.

You referenced the chinese company hiring the person with the sentence

This seems to me that you propose the person being hired by a company is proof enough of the chinese company actually using this technology.

(The company accused and fined for IP violation was an american company employing the person in question.)

> That may be true of an authoritarian regime, but under democracy, as I imagine most of us here are, government does not regulate society. It regulates individuals who try go against society. Society defines expectations, government cleans up those who refuse to comply.

That is not what most of us want in a democracy otherwise we would never go forward. Our society expects the government to Lead and not simply comply with the current mood. That is the problem we have now when every action is calculated on short term election result and not long term benefit for the whole society.
If a democratic government were supposed to only enforce the majority expectations we would never change those expectation and our view of what is right/wrong.
The article fails to answer the question, only comparing bitcoin to some other cryptocurrencies (non-PoW smart contract platforms), while calling all them shitcoins.

> Why (Bitcoin Version): Because fiat money is deeply unfair and is changing in ways that directly threaten democracy and human rights.

Well, bitcoin money is unfair as well, concentrating wealth on early miners (including its creator).

Some other cryptocurrencies are designed to be just as decentralized as bitcoin while avoiding this unfairness by having a fixed block reward, i.e. purely linear emission, that grants no advantage to early miners/adopters.
It's a very modular setup, very simple in the basics, minimal but very extendible. It approaches the BSD philosophy a bit more than other distros. It's init system is very nice and conceptually simple. It's rolling release but a little bit more conservative than say Arch which is a bit more bleeding edge. The community is nice, good responses on #voidlinux when stuff is broken, in general, professional approach on problems with packages on github issues.

Another distro that I'm very curious about is Chimera Linux, a distro with a FreeBSD-based user-land and a Linux kernel + a bunch of sane+modern design choices (by q66, one of the people behind Void Linux PPC). It's still a work in progress and not completely stable yet (I'm testing it on KVM), but definitely a candidate for an upcoming daily-driver!

There are people who prefer using iOS or Apple hardware but do not want Apple's anticompetitive App Store restrictions imposed on the Apple devices they own. Those are the people whose user choice is being suppressed, and those are the people you are sidelining because you wish to impress your own preferences onto them. People content with the status quo, including you, can continue to exclusively use the App Store on iOS on Apple devices.

Podcasts seem quite popular among non-tech people. The national over-the-air radio station in this country even has an entire weekly show dedicated to helping people find new podcasts to subscribe to. It appears non-tech folk do actually enjoy this model of designing their feed as much as anyone else.

Indeed, non-techies don't actually care that it is RSS under the hood, but I'm not sure techies really care either. It is the high level concept of what RSS embodies that is really being talked about. RSS merely gets suggested because it is an already defined standard that gets us there. No need for a 15th competing standard.

> Is this what we’ve came down to?

You mean economic competition? I'm not sure what you're expecting here. This is how the world works. China refuses to adhere to IP law that others do. Our companies and governments spend billions upon billions on R&D. That R&D basically keeps the West relevant. In what way is it okay for that to be stolen? Meanwhile, China doesn't allow Western companies to operate in China, instead they're required to partner with a Chinese company and transfer technology.

I think we've been MORE than fair with China in the past 20-30 years. We're a huge reason why they were able to raise HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS out of poverty and into the middle-class, the largest success story of the past 3 decades.

> Or the nicely worded phrase usually used in conjunction with boomer generation: “screw you, I’ve got mine.”

Kubernetes Extensibility
MT to Predict Speed to Singularity
As a someone who has worked part time (50%) for a few years now in different companies, I just apply to full time positions and ask about part time towards the end of the process. I found more often than not companies i talked to agreed. Asking early in the process might be more of a reason for a company to just reject you outright. It seems many hiring managers I met think that 50% time equals 50% output which is far from the truth.

I think there might be a bigger shift towards part time being the norm in some time.

Of course another way is to do consulting/freelance :)

Also i’m in the EU so YMMV.

> As Twitter has entered the Musk era, many people are leaving the platform or rethinking its role in their lives...According to the MIT Technology Review, around a million people have left so far since Musk’s ownership, and all of this information has left the platform along with them.

Is this overblown? Twitter has +200 million MAUs and if a million of them left that's 0.5% of the user base. If 99.5% of the users and the content remains on Twitter (and even if we assume that no one has joined Twitter in the same period) is it really that big a deal?

> Conditions and restarts are kind of like try/throw exception handling you know from more mainstream languages, except much more powerful.

This reminds me of the arguments for call/cc in scheme. A very general construct! It can implement exceptions, backtracking, it can even implement "if", so "if" wouldn't even need to be primitive. You know what else lets you do all that? Good old GOTO.

I don't care about "power" for a language construct. I need guarantees a lot more. Does using this construct allow me to put some things in the "that doesn't matter here" bin, so I can focus on some things without worrying about everything at once? GOTO is better at punching holes in bins of compartmentalization, and call/cc isn't much better.

I don't know much about algebraic effects, but usually "algebraic" implies various guarantees about composability and idempotence, which are exactly what you want when dealing with state and the world.

A couple points:

- Yes the efficiency of the laser is poor and modern tech is more efficient, but not enough to make it an energy producing process. The best lasers are ~50% energy efficient.

- This can only be maintained for short periods of time and the time to restart the process in long. Not only that, tritium is a rare isotope. These are probably the largest challenges to overcome.

- The energy is released in the form of high-speed particles, and there is no efficient energy capture process.

The significance of their achievements is overblown. Yes, they achieved ignition, but no it is just an incremental process towards commercial fusion power.
