Is it really that much of a problem though? I own PC games that are close to 25 years old at this point and have problems installing and playing them on the PC I build two years ago.
I have hard drives and USB sticks that are from 2005 and still work fine (though obviously, all their data is backed up onto newer devices). CD-ROMs can still be easily bought and played.

As long as OP sticks to traditional and established formats and pays attention every 5-10 years to migrate their data onto their new PCs, etc. it shouldn't be that much of a problem.
This looks comprehensive. Thank you for taking the time to respond so in depth.
The difference between pretty good weed and the best weed is irrelevent when you throw the bud into your grinder, unless you are buying moonrocks (kind of like battering fried chicken, the bud is dipped in high thc% oil then kief). It's not like a whisky where you get this whole tasting experience and can taste the wood of the barrel it sat in; to my tongue at least smoke is smoke unless its the terrible brick weed that I have not seen in 15 years. Even then with so much excess product being produced by growers, moonrocks would not be expensive to produce.
It isn't. It would be impossible for Spotify to guarantee any kind of fixed payment per stream, since customers don't pay per stream.

I guess they could pay based off the theoretical maximum a user could stream. So if the cost of a subscription is $10/month and an artist's song is 3 minutes long, then Spotify could pay ($10 / (31 * 24 * 60/3)) per stream. Thus guaranteeing that if a user streams an artist's song for the entire month, the artist gets the user's entire $10 subscription fee. But that's $0.00067 per stream, which is much less than they currently pay.

I would suggest you look up a bit on the history of the conflict, which is long and very bloody. Most of the time its regular citizens and army personnel that are kidnapped (it's a business in human trafficking) - i knew some of them and the experiences are horrific.

It's a different show when you revisit the opening lyrics as "one is a genius, the other's insane" and view the story as being about how Pinky is a benevolent genius who keeps his power crazed lunatic friend Brain from causing too much harm. There are flashes of his brilliance throughout that hint at it, but when you think of how a genius would live vs. how someone insane would live, it fits well.
One of the Netscape Navigator manuals was fairly entertaining as well. Had to explain what the internet was as well. I mainly remember a Northern Exposure reference.

> In the case of programming languages, yes, it's relative to the difficulty of other PLs.

I've learned many many PLs at this point. Rust was one of the easiest for me.

> Well yes anything's easy if you skip the hard bits. Learn C without using pointers.

That's my entire point. Rust is not hard if you learn the easy parts first. Trying to learn everything at once is not easy, no matter the language. Once the problem becomes just learning the borrow checker it's not that big of a deal. The harder thing to do is learning the borrow checker and traits and closures and blah blah blah.
At that point you're doing OpenAPI, which will dispense with the subject routing boilerplate of JSON rpc, and have a lighter payload that you have to do less work to understand (presumably the JSON schemas are similar to your db tables)
Engine Ingestion is the official term for such incidents. Any humor is accidental but very deadpan.
The Internet is making an odd allowance on the idea, though. Criticism and such often devolve into ridicule and attacks. In ways that I've been seeing spill over to many work interactions.

> Where specifically in the article do you believe that the publications are wrongly interpreted?

"Growing evidence also suggests that repeated vaccinations may make people more susceptible to XBB and could be fueling the virus’s rapid evolution."

"Experts nevertheless claim that boosters improve protection against XBB. That’s disinformation, to use their favored term." (Hilariously, her assertion that this is disinformation is directly contradicted by the previous sentence she herself wrote: "A bivalent booster only slightly increased antibodies against XBB.")

"But experts refuse to concede that boosters have yielded diminishing benefits and may even have made individuals and the population as a whole more vulnerable to new variants like XBB." A competent journalist would have asked the experts why.

"The Biden administration’s monomaniacal focus on vaccines over new treatments has left the highest-risk Americans more vulnerable to new variants. Why doesn’t that seem to worry the experts?" Once again, she clearly states that she knows that the experts have interpreted the data differently. I don't know how you could have asked me an easier question.

> Not to mention the fact that the vaccines can't be reducing the number of mutations since they aren't preventing infections.

The data show that not only are they vaccines reducing the number of infections, but they are reducing the lengths of infections that do occur, reducing the number of copies made and thereby reducing the number of mutations.
I wanted to swing by with two notes.

I try to remember that this decades cool hip software trends might become the next decade's enterprise Java.

In the current stage of our transition to renewables, the "greenness" of our electricity varies wildly throughout the day. I'm building a ML system to predict the next 7 days of "greenness" (and electricity price) in the hope that folks can reduce their carbon footprint, for example by:

- choosing a 'green' time of day to charge an EV

- 'overdrive' heating/cooling during times of high greenness, reducing usage during

- dream: a large scale user could take greenness into account when scheduling

- dream: the nightly weather report includes a green forecast

Feedback on idea/execution greatly appreciated!

You are right, I used the wrong word, I should have said diffusion.
This a confusing comment, looking at the stats there was more homes built from 2008-2014 than from 2014-2020.

https://tradingeconomics.com/netherlands/building-permits

What you are saying seems more anecdotal than evidential.

Also looking at other sources it says that the wait time for a new build has blown out to 2 years:

> Why has this shortage taken place? There are a couple of reasons. Fewer building permits are being issued, as a result of stricter environmental regulations, which aim to mitigate the nitrogen crisis. Then there is the mere problem of time: from the moment a building permit is issued, it takes about two years for a house to be ready.

This sounds entirely like a zoning and supply issue, not a "builders won't build" issue.

Cons of private thinking — I've spent multiple days on mocking up and deciding on the best version of one element of a project. Only to spend 45 seconds describing the issue out loud, dialectically in a tea room conversation, to realise there is a very obvious and simple decision and I had been overlooking the proverbial forest for the trees. It wasn't pointed out to me by my collocutor, just the act of organising the description of the problem and arguments for either version cogently enough to share revealed the solution.

But D is not true. If a property costs one million today, but could sell for two million in a few years, then simply buying it and holding it will earn you a reasonable rate of return even if you never rent it out. In fact renting it out is risky simply because it will make the property harder to sell when the time comes.

And with a small but significant population of potential buyers excluded, the property prices will not not rise nearly as much and they may even fall. If there are enough rich Canadians in the coming generations then prices may rise again, making the investment worthwhile, but there is significant risk there.
Books for Software Engineers in 2023

Housing is also pretty unique in the range of investment options available to "normal" people in that you can get meaningful leverage without some form of collateral posting/margining requirement or ongoing covenant testing.
The younger owners tend to also vote based on social "wedge" issues which means they don't need to be catered to on this issue whereas asset owners tend to vote based on their interests and have to be catered to otherwise they'll vote for the other party.

I believe this also explains the rise of progressive political factions that propose a lot of policies that seem to favour the disenfranchised but in reality benefit the rich and the asset owners. Their policies let the rich and the well off virtue signal without any consequence to their income or wealth. Voting patterns in large cities in Canada, for example in Toronto, supports this.
What I mean by "less sticky" is that it requires more slow moving precision when aligning against an edge in order for the sticky window feature to activate. This is annoying for me when using a trackpad.

They're still "sticky" in the literal sense that the feature is still there that I agree on :)

In other words my complaint is that while sticky windows are still a feature it requires more effort to get it to work which makes the feature less useful to me.

Ideally I would like to see an option where the user can set the sensitivity for the "stickiness". Probably not via a user facing option in the Settings app but a global 'defaults' command line tweak would be nice.
The fact that you are still reading Hacker News, and programming, STILL, says it all :D

> Lifetimes aren't hard or complicated,

Untrue - read https://users.rust-lang.org/t/what-is-a-good-mental-model-of.... Even Rust aficionados can't describe how they work without vast screeds. Or if you think the posters there are just wrong, try the RFC on which the current implementation is based: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2094-nll.html. You truly don't find that hard or complicated?

It may be the case that people can use simplified subsets of the language to ease their way. But when a Rust advocate says that in effect to understand lifetimes you have to read the standard library source (as is written in the forum thread linked above), because no current documentation is comprehensive enough to cover it, then you know the whole thing itself is pretty complex.

> One of my Iranian colleagues back when I worked in an office had many entertaining phrases, like:

> "I go make some shoppings"

As a Romanian living in the London, I hear English mistakes from various nationalities and I'm surprised how similar some are to Romanian, even when there's no connection. In this case, in Romanian we also word-for-word say "to make shoppings".

It often feels like English is the odd man out. :)

As an example, a Lithuanian was showing me a shortcut. He said "press alt plus ii". So I press "Alt+I". He chuckled and said "No, alt plus the English ii". So I pressed "Alt+E". The great vowel shift left vowels unrecognizable to other languages (/iː/ became /aɪ/, /eː/ became /iː/, ...).

There is no private language. Hence you can only think in the public. You may say degree of interaction is less say on social media. But that is degree. Ultimately your action and some interaction tell your story. But the key is not your story. As said the electricity is the message. The public is your thinking. You might contribute to it. That is all.

There is no escape to private sphere.

All the above is bull s.

You can use ClickHouse as a stateless query engine to process externally hosted datasets.

This way you just publish a MergeTree table to S3 bucket or a set of static files on an HTTP server, and then plugging it on an empty ClickHouse server.

There is a story [0] from November doing the rounds on Twitter today (but which was flagged on HN) that does a good job of expanding on why there is no search function on Mastodon. Namely, it's* full of child porn, or "lolicon" which is drawn child porn, illegal in many Western nations but not in Japan. In the words of Mastodon Founder Eugen Rochko:

> Lack of full-text search on general content is intentional, due to negative social dynamics

I guess you could frame this as a privacy argument, but I don't buy that as the primary reason people were upset with "Fedisearch." They were upset because it exposed their communities of lolicon enthusiasts. Do they deserve privacy or is that more of an excuse to keep their content off the radar of law enforcement and out of reach of polite society?

I did find this 2017 GitHub issue [1] to be slightly less inflammatory and full of
fruitful discussion about legal implications of caching strategies for media content on Mastodon instances.

[0] https://www.secjuice.com/mastodon-child-porn-pedophiles/

[1] https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/1847

* "It" being the wider fediverse, where the 2nd and 3rd most popular instances allow "lolicon" content (which is illegal in many jurisdictions). Of course not all of Mastodon is filled with this, but all it takes is an obsessive minority to poison the grapevine with a large amount of content. Also, you can expect generative AI to lead to even more of this stuff.
My point still stands. It's not difficult to adapt a client for whatever combination of protocols and standards the server wants... RPC over HTTP or WebSockets or TCP or whatever... The server might want to use different protocols depending on the exact use case. There is no need to force the server to use a specific one.

JSON-RPC has the same problem as WSDL... It would be useful if clients would discover the service and use it automatically... But that does not happen in practice. It's always a human who does the integration work manually because only a human can fully make sense of what kind of data is provided by various endpoints. You can't automate endpoint discovery and therefore there is no need for a single common standard to facilitate that.

I have serious gripes with the high end market in the dispensary. For example, Stiizy will sell you a gram of distillate in a cartridge for $60. It's the exact same product as the one being sold in that same dispensary for $20 from a brand with less instagram presence. Distillate is pretty much commoditized. Also the entire $60 1/8th market is absurd to me, it seemingly exists for people who assume price means quality because at the end of the day, its not significantly different than the stuff being sold for less than half as much, but it might come in a nice glass jar with a sexy lid instead of an opaque plastic bag.

Then if you start growing yourself its like seeing the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz, with how much excellent weed you can produce in a few months with little investment or effort beyond what you'd do for a tomato plant. It will honestly look better too being hand trimmed and cured versus trimmed by a trim bag facing whatever the commercial growers do to cure it into a tiny, dry rock hard nug (probably good for scaling the process but its ugly to me).

I guess you can say this is true for just about any luxury product though. There are people that say wild turky or knob creek is a lot better than much more expensive whisky some people chase after.

Pyright doesn't support narrowing based on object truthiness and some other python isms.

In my experience, mypy tends to be more correct and correctly understands more python code.

For example, the following won't type check in pyright (it doesn't infer the type of out):

out = []
for x in bar:
out.append(x \* 2)
return out

Edit: also pyright's vendoring of type stubs is annoying as they take precedence over downloaded type stubs.

Edit2: also lack of plugins, makes using things like Pydantic less type safe compared to mypy

Mine was a short comment, and I actually address the point you raise, but I'll recapitulate it. Namely, if one is a foreigner caught buying a Canadian residential property, one is certain to pay $10,000, but may be forced to sell it, if the Minister and provincial superior court can be bothered.

IANAL, but between the two sections we've excerpted, and the already-posted, short law, it doesn't seem particularly well-designed, except as a temporary budgetary boost to the government.
