I'm not going to comment on his overall opinions, but it does seem like his judgement is severely compromised.

In the JVM world you can already write web service request handlers

POST /some/where/{like_this}

that are discovered by the JAXB runtime no matter if you write them in Java, Scala, Groovy, Clojure, Jython, etc. It works very well because the JVM handles memory allocation and reuse systematically. It would be hard to do this in the C world because how C programs allocate memory is idiosyncratic to those programs. Despite that, Python's runtime (which is a C program that consumes libraries) works really well when glued to C and FORTRAN style code like scikit-learn.

DCOM, CORBA, and RMI were early attempts at what you are asking for. We really got vernacular JSON APIs, API gateways, message-oriented-middleware, enterprise service bus, API documentation tools, etc. Latency and reliability (the network flaking out) are big pains if you have a chatty communications protocol so it is just as important to batch transfers as it is to avoid unnecessary communications. Maybe you want to write map-reduce or something like SQL that consistently gets good-if-not-great performance.

If you have many servers running (more than 20 for sure) people will tell you that you need Kubernetes to manage your servers and no matter what you need a script that builds a working development system as quickly as possible.

You might really like Hazelcast

https://docs.hazelcast.com/hazelcast/latest/data-structures/...

which manages shared data structures seemingly transparently on moderate sized clusters, there is even an example of using it between Java and Python here

Honestly, I don't find that very helpful. These, same as all that Hashicorp stuff, are pretty big and quite domain-specific projects, that are somewhat difficult to conceptualize about what they even do. As if the only thing go is being used for are all that distributed virtualization stuff.

Maybe at some point it is nice to look at them, but they don't look very approachable to me, if I just want to take a look at how code is normally written in go beyond some AoC-exercises. Like useful common patterns and such.

honestly I have zero idea what point you’re trying to make. The person said those things originated in Linux or were inspired by it. They’re wrong and were corrected thusly.

You seem to want to let them believe they’re correct and spread that incorrectness because it pushes the ideal of Linux?

For #2, I would alter this to say: connections matter.

Oh look, another Linux thread. It's a fucking cliche, sure enough the top N comments bagging on Linux are handwavey citing "tried a main distro years ago" which usually means "Six years ago, I tried an Ubuntu USB stick that I'd made 7 years ago, and now I'm acting that experience is indicative of Linux today".

I mean, I played Halo Infinite on NixOS the other night, and literally the only problem was one projectile from one gun appearing slightly odd when firing.

I kind of find these discussions hilarious anymore.
That's a possibility, but I don't see any laser-trimming marks on the big capacitor. Another option would be selecting capacitors with fuses, but I don't see any fuses or capacitors with powers-of-two sizing. With the complexity of the circuitry in the right hand side, I think there are a bunch of analog things going on.
I'm not going to argue that 3.5 unemployment is compatible with low inflation, but I don't think we've found the limit per se--inflation started rising in 2021 well before unemployment was so low, and there have been huge supply shocks as well.

Appreciated!

Btw one more thought: this kind of thing is natural in conversation because repetition has other functions (e.g. it connects people to share and agree on familiar things). So commenters aren't doing anything wrong in principle when they post like this—it's actually HN's rules which are the unnatural thing. But it's clear that we have to have them, given the mandate of the site.

My primary tractor is 4 years old and it has been in the shop more often than my 35 year old tractor. Most of us, especially the smaller guys, run equipment until it is quite literally gone.

The biggest issue that bringing new equipment to market is incredibly expensive and you are competing with all of the green, red and blue (and now orange) guys that have been building equipment for generations. The new issue is looking for a revenue stream for the manufacturers. My Case while not on a service contract, has very few owner servicable parts to it. My '94 Kubota still does the job but Kubota makes about $200/ year on me at most since I can fix everything on it myself.

It is by no means a market failure, the market is working exactly as it's supposed to. It's just that people think that the market is there for the farmers when it's really there for the equipment and inputs manufacturers.

> Why are there no free tier zero config markdown web hosts including a custom domain for $20/yr?

There are shared hosting providers around that price, including domain, that offer one-click WordPress installation, and WordPress-specific hosting options, so that exists in a slightly different form.

Non-technical people know about WordPress a lot more than they know about markdown, and technical people would more likely want to self-manage such an arrangement, so I don't think there would be a large enough market to make that practical (the margins would be low, even accounting for the potential for lower resource use per client than WordPress by using something simpler, so you'd need to sell a lot of accounts to make it worth-while).

> Why doesn't the domain registration entitle you to a single static 100kB page

I don't think enough people would want it to make it a key differentiator against competing registrars, so the extra admin (particularly dealing with occasional copyright claims and other legal issues, and a DDoS attack against a client every now and then) would not be worth it. Registrars are essentially competing on price and inertia, and will do nothing extra unless it brings in extra money or makes them look enough better than the next registrar to the average user.
This one is always interesting to me. People mention "dynamic programming" and my gut says "code that writes code" and every single time I remind myself it is just caching earlier calculations. DP is just caching.
> I didn't say that inflation would reappear at 5.99% unemployment.

I didn't say you did, just that you haven't said anything to motivate the 6-8% number. It's plausible sounding, but as far as what you've said so far, you might as well have drawn those numbers out of a hat.

I did the same - admittedly, this was decades ago, but when I had no coding experience, I took a tech support job and learned. As I learned, I started doing small projects for my department, and as those succeeded, it took up more and more of my job until I got promoted to be a coder.

I've had people on HN tell me that this path is the most horrible path to recommend to people, yet at the same time -- it works. And you make a living while getting your skills up.

I don't think the author understands information literacy, and they show their own ignorance in how they discuss their objections. The New York Times and The Washington Post have news sections that are run independently of the opinion, editorial, and commentary sections. You have to look at which section the article is published in, and know the standards of that section. The NYT news section stamp means something much different than the NYT op-ed stamp.

Same with academic articles. Different journals have different standards, they each have their own biases. Something published in NEJM is gatekept differently than something published in PLOSONE, which is different than something published on a professor's Twitter account. The NEJM stamp means something that the others don't.

I think it is hilarious that the author calls models from the social sciences "nonsense," which cannot possibly have the validity of the disciplines they revere like the natural sciences.... and economics.
I don't understand how people who believe we have too many pedestrians killed by cars could also think this is a good thing.

Isn’t “a lot more successful” is only true more generally? Many developers have fixed platform targets for the life of a product (e.g., consoles, embedded, microarch). So I’d agree in general but hesitate to say “a lot more successful”.
All good tactics!

I especially like the tactic of validating the person you’re talking to in order to communicate that you’re interested in what they’re saying.

E.g. “That’s a really good point” or “That’s really interesting” or “I really like that thought”. And if someone tells a mediocre joke but you want to continue engaging, simply saying “That’s really funny” is a good substitute when the joke isn’t funny enough to actually laugh!

If your sole goal is to make the other person feel like they’re having a great conversation with you, the simplest advice is to make sure they’re talking at least 1.5x as much as you. When someone does the majority of the talking, that person more often walks away feeling like they had a great conversation.

"However, the original responsibility for following up and remedying the identified violation remains with the respective company."

I don't see how this works if it is usually companies that are corrupt to the top that have stuff that the public should know.

Just look at Boeing, there were countless internal issues raised about the corner cutting and it was just ignored over and over.

Won't this also allow a company to internally fix the issues and then sweep it under the rug?
China supplying Russia with weapons is probably not going to happen. Not if they want to do any commerce with the US, UK and Australia, NZ and probably the EU. The Chinese, including chairman Xi are anything but stupid. They want cheap Russian resources and food, they want to buy and replicate some Soviet tech, so they are playing Russia with the cooperation card. The Chinese also have big investments in Ukraine's agricultural sector which Russia is screwed with, like the Nikolaev grain and sunflower oil terminal. So far they've avoided outright bombing the COFCO investments, but the blockade meant threatening China's food supplies.
Calculus, even the basics like derivatives, 2nd derivatives and integration didn’t really click with me until I did some scientific computing/signal processing with SciPy and Pandas a couple years ago. Graphing the discrete versions on time series data, e.g. graphing the difference between consecutive values and seeing the derivative pop out, or a rolling sum for integration, etc finally made it all click.
The reason the war in Ukraine goes on is that Putin was misled. The original plan was to conquer Kiyv in a few days, kill Zelensky and others and install a puppet government. The whole "military operation" was just that. They had no plan B. I mean, they are trying to do their plan B now, with no hope of getting anywhere. But from Putin's POV in February it all made sense, and the fact that Ukraine repelled the initial attack surprised everybody, including the allies - and Ukrainians themselves.

On the other hand, in Finland and Poland there is no similar plan A, only total war with NATO. It is not impossible, but from the geopolitical POV it makes no sense at all.

For die photos, you want a metallurgical microscope, one that shines light down through the lens. A typical microscope shines the light from underneath, which works well for biological samples, but not so well for chips.

The tricky part is decapping the chip. The easy way is to get a ceramic package, which you can decap with a chisel. Or a metal can, which you can open with a hacksaw. With a standard epoxy package, you can heat it with a hot air gun and twist it, and you have maybe 50% chance of the die separating from a package. The best way for epoxy packages is boiling sulfuric and/or nitric acid, which has obvious issues.

The other aspect is that you need to stitch together a bunch of images to get a high-resolution photo. I use Hugin, which lets just say that it has a learning curve.

Objective-C actually gets compiled down to machine code at compilation down. When you download an app from the app store, there is no more Objective-C.

RN doesn't "compile" the Javascript to bytecode or machine code. Instead, the closest competition you could get from RN is a JIT. But AFAIK iOS doesn't allow a Javascript JIT to run, so the JavaScript running is not being JITed to Bytecode.

Even if you assume that iOS allows a JS JIT now, you still have a JavaScript->Native bridge to cross. This adds a performance hit that Objective-C does not have.

Wage growth is not driving inflation. Pushing unemployment higher isn't the route to fix inflation.

Recent inflation was driven primarily by two things significant increase in energy costs. Just like in the the 70s large oil spikes will drive large inflation as the cost of everything requires energy.

Second was sever supply constraints due to lack of labor due to Covid (either people out side, plants running minimally, or older people retiring, or deaths). Labor force participation rates dropped 2% world wide 3% in the use. Overall labor force participation has been slowly decreasing over time (due to countries moving up the development index), but that was roughly a decade worth of gradual reduction that just dropped overnight due to Covid. Supply became severly constrained for the same number of people. Increasing unemployment will only make the situation worse.

Look at world labor force participation rate [1], it still hasn't recovered raising unemployment will only make it worse. Or look at US which dropped almost 3%.

What needs to happen is that needs to recover. It started recovering slightly but still not back to the level it needs to be. That's what will fix inflation, increasing production of goods and services, not restricting them more.

What will increase labor force participation? Increasing wages. For almost-retirees, those with deciding whether to work or not wages aren't sufficient to incent them to do so. Raising wages would bring people back into the labor force (without causing inflation in real terms). Capital is taking such a large portion of the gains of productivity in high productivity countries that wages aren't drawing in people to work. Increase the wages and that will fix itself. That started to happen and the economy started rebalancing, and then govts began stepping in to halt it. As a result the are pushing us towards lower production with supply shortages (more or less stagflation).
