The languages may not make money for the corporation sponsoring them, but they can be used to implement corporate strategy for competitive advantages and you would never even know. The risk you're taking using a language like this is that the sponsor does something with it that is in their best interest instead of yours without your knowledge.

When I started in software development in the late 90's, avoiding proprietary software was a best practice. SQL - great, open, use freely. TSQL and PL/SQL - avoid because of MS and Oracle.

> Kastanienalle Strasse

It's Kastanienallee. And as it's an Allee (an avenue lined with trees), it can't be a Straße (a street). Even if it were a Straße, it would be one word, or hyphenated. Sigh.
That's entirely unrealistic.

Rust will probably encompass most of these use cases eventually. Features like e.g. RC with efficient cycle collection as found in Nim, or generational regions as found in Vale, will simply be implemented as add-on crates in Rust, complementing the existing borrow checker.

The MSSQL database seems a bit heavyweight (RAM wise) given the tiny amount of data it needs to host for a handful of users, and isn't acceptable to some people on principle, since it isn't open source.

That was a peculiar dig at community moderation.

Twitter and Facebook repeatedly show how very wrong "professional" moderators get it. Almost like caring about a topic makes you better suited to maintain a community around it.

The other side of the coin is that many communities wouldn't exist without Reddit, and many wouldn't be tolerated by Reddit without moderators. Many subs have been closed for inadequate moderation. So you see it as free work, I say you get what you give. You want a nice place to chat? Pony up. Cash or effort.
I'm a bit puzzled by this. You can install Windows without having to buy it. You can even run it forever if you want to - other than a watermark and some personalisation options being locked, nothing is different from an activated copy.

For stuff like simply configuring a device, any old ISO or even VM image available directly from MS should do.

There are many simpler languages with speed and memory efficiency (Nim, Crystal and the like). Rust somehow became even more complex than C++; what an achievement (not).

AFAIK, yes, it is. ERP consultants are super expensive and the licenses for traditional ERP software aren't cheap. If you can build your own bespoke ERP that covers just everything you need for your company to run AND it's cheaper to maintain even considering labor costs, then why not do it?

Just to be clear, Zelle's irrevocability doesn't legitimize criminal acts or fraud. It just means your bank won't help you untangle the mess.

It's rare that a lawsuit against a fraudster or thief goes anywhere, but depending on the amount lost, it can be worth it to obtain a default judgment, which can typically be collected for 10 years. If you can identify the person or entity that took your money, they might eventually have enough assets for you to collect.

The post fails to connect the dots to explain why I would want to "stop using corporate-controlled languages". The author mentions that they stopped using them because they "phone home about all kinds of things". But that implies that I dislike any and all "phoning home" (which is the vast majority of instances is simply anonymous statistics to help you, the user, find the most popular packages) enough to shun it. But I also don't think that the author's intention was to convince, and this is more of a "I'm better than the rest of you and here's why" piece.
Use the Wrong Tool for the Job
I can understand troops wanting to have something to do and the military providing it...but maybe just go with games that have odds that are more even and put the money collected into military pensions? I can see the argument that troops will maybe go stir-crazy or grow homesick without some activities, and you can't have games that remove all possibility to lose (that's not fun) so there has to be a happy medium. Even if they invest in video games, or table games that have less house favoritism. Then putting the money into a pension fund or similar so, even though you -can- lose, you will benefit everyone when you do.

> OpenAI can afford to pay more, but they’re just taking advantage of a less robust economy.

This is a bad take. Globalization (what you call "taking advantage") raised a billion people out of abject poverty in the last few decades.

When a company pays more than the prevailing wage, they're doing good and deserve kudos. Expecting economic deals with less developed countries to be driven by charity (which is what you're advocating for) rather than mutual benefit is A) paternalistic and demeaning, and B) cannot possibly be the basis of sustainable economic gains for developing countries.
If it gets to that point we're (or at least a non-trivial fraction of us) gonna end up murdered not because people want what we have but because by the time things fall apart like that people will hate us and want us dead.

You contradict yourself. You can’t deride it as “clever” (whatever the quotes mean) and then in the next breath say that it might be a practical style.

And yes, Rust code in the wild does look like this.

You just ignored the question, though, and this has nothing to do with russia, so that was just a weird deflection. Yes, ukrainians are a distinct nation. But the point is that discriminating based on race or ethnicity is bad, no matter what. Would it be ok for french people to create a french only city/community in France? As for jews and chinese communities, yes it would be bad if appartments in chinatown explicitly discriminated against non chinese people.
Or remind the banks that regulation E puts the responsibility of fraud (minus $50) on them.

US banks got scared by money transfer apps, and decided they want to provide a similar service, at no cost to customers, and minimal cost to them. Of course, they can't have it all, and now they try to put some costs they are not allowed to, onto their customers.
Yeah, I know of some that have pivoted at least once and are still alive and kicking. I wonder how YC thought through the costs/benefits of increasing the invested amount so much.

There are multiple users who, post-breach, are checking the Iteration Count the number of PBKDF2 iterations for their vault, and discovering that even though LastPass had been slowly increasing the number of iterations for new customers in line with industry best practices, they were never going back and upgrading the old users. So if you created a LastPass account in the past few years, your iteration count was 100,000. But if you were an older user, it may have only been 5,000. Or 500. Or, in the case of many old users: 1. One iteration. That's all that was protecting their encrypted vault--now in the hands of attackers--from brute forcing.

Name a popular language without corporate backing.

I think it's okay - even preferable - if rich companies decide to pay more, but compared to the alternatives, this "exploitative" gig is actually doing more to lift Africans out of poverty.

We've seen this experiment in China - in one generation, hundreds of millions of Chinese have made the leap from farm labor to the iPhone-owning middle class.

I think companies can choose to pay better, but even if they choose to be "evil, greedy capitalists" it still beats the majority of local alternatives.
What Americans think is German is often mostly the Bavarian stereotypes. Pretzels, sausage, lederhosen, Oktoberfest. It's common for Americans to be surprised when they find Berlin or Frankfurt isn't full of that stuff.

The same happens in reverse: some Europeans think America is the land of cowboys and guns and fireworks, but that's really more like just Texas, and when they go to New York they're surprised by seeing none of that.
> remember when programming languages were free?

This is actually the golden age of free programming languages.

Previously, if you wanted a high quality compiler, you had to either get it from the vendor of your operating system or license one for a lot of money. Now, you have access to multiple high-quality compilers.

In addition, even if you had a free compiler, you would have to pay for floppy disks or a cd-rom. Now you can download it for free.

There is also a lot more information for learning about new programming languages thanks to the Internet.

Finally, you also have access to libraries/frameworks like LLVM that make it much easier to build your own compiled languages. For example, Rust probably would have taken much longer to get where it has, if it was not able to leverage the LLVM infrastructure early on for things such as optimizations and cross-platform compilation.

Now with regard to corporate control/backing of languages, if you look at computing history, you will see that most successful programming languages have been backed by some corporation (there are exceptions, though).

Fortran was backed by IBM. C and C++ was backed by AT&T and later Microsoft (especially for Windows). Pascal was backed by Borland. Java was backed by Sun. Rust was backed by Mozilla.

The question is not so much if a corporation backs a language but rather how it goes about building a community around the language. IMO, I think Mozilla did a very good job of building a very broad community around Rust so it became more than just a Mozilla language.

Have been using this new theme since beta. I love the much cleaner look more than the previous one. One can always tune the CSS yourself at the user's preference near the theme selector. The only thing I need to adjust to my liking is to limit the line width:

main#content {
max-width: 40em;
}

For those who hate it: you will always have the option to switch back to the old theme.

I really hope any website could be as flexible as Wikipedia to allow users to write their own CSS.
The difference is pre versus post PMF.

When you start your startup, you are by definition pre-PMF. There is only a weak relationship between what you spend and what comes out the other side. Once you're post-PMF this changes and you may need to jack up the spending in order to grow as quickly as possible.

Lots of companies screw this up and scale up spending when they're pre-PMF. In 2021 those companies could keep raising, but now they're probably going to die.

Ive seen that the autobrake stuff can be glitchy and cause all sorts of (absolutely justified) steering wheel grabbing on the highway, so it would just be better if people… focused on the road while driving. Also, if anything happens to the car, even a minor fender bender, the cost to realign any of those sensors are ultra high, and gets passed along to everyone in a given are via increasing insurance premiums.
The hard part of PDF generation is support for complex script (Arabic, Indian languages etc.), including embedding a font subset. On Windows this is usually accomplished using the Uniscribe library (which is not available on Linux). QuestPDF appears to be using HarfBuzz for this purpose. If that works well then this is a winner!
Does this allow you to use existing PDFs as "templates"? We do that a lot with PDFs. It allows end users to design in Adobe Acrobat and upload to our product. We can then inject dynamic data into placeholders at runtime. We do this for text and images.

If an AI is generating novel images, I wouldn't call them CSAM even if they fall under a rule that makes them illegal.

If they're not properly novel then it depends on what the source images were, I guess? But it's not like you'd need to train it on anything obscene for it to figure out how to combine bad things with nudity.
There's a suggestion at the end (well, they did it, anyway) to apply box-sizing: border-box selectively, only where needed. That was probably smart and worked for these devs.

Don't do this in your codebase. This is maybe the most toxic and chaotic CSS change you can make to a codebase. Some devs will realize it's a box model thing right away. But the others will suffer in silence and confusion for quite a while. Both groups will hate you for this practice.
As much as I tend to "defend" Europes social systems, when it comes to visas there are some similarities. True, once you are eligible for unemployment benefits in Germany, you can extend you residence title for that period. And then, being herw long enough even more. In case you are not eligible yet, well, things are different. I have quite a few collegues that might face that prospect sooner than they like, and of course the employer is not talking about this, nor are my co-workers necessarily aware of that. Kind of makes me angry with my emoloyer, in my book you do not screw around with peoples lives like that.

> 2. Move around as a new grad. Think of it like dating, you have to kiss a few frogs just to get an idea of what is out there.

This is related, but I got my start in a small consulting company and think it is a great place for anyone to start. Small is anything from 10 to 100. The one with 100 employees will have more process and stability, but your impact at a 10 person company will be larger (and possibly easier to get hired by). Pick your poison.

You'll get lots of experience across domains and technologies, because it is a consulting company.

What you write and do will actually matter, because it is small.

And, of course, at a consulting company, as a developer, what you do is directly tied to revenue for the company, since they typically sell hours (or dev expertise, bundled in project scopes, which are measured internally in hours or hour equivalents).

I wrote some advice on how to approach these companies here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34253168

If they're good and have been around for a while, they'll know how to ride out the ups and downs that are coming (because they actually probably had ups and downs even during the good times; that's the nature of consulting).
