Delightful movement of the goal posts, highly technical move.

Your argument was that the moment there is no longer a need to be constrained by Apple's App Store rules, your Samsung dishwasher will make you install its app through Shady Store Incorporated, because it's easier, and it'll make your grandma install it.

Except that doesn't happen. Noone has done that. The highest profile case is Fortnite, and it makes you install it either through Epic Games, or the Samsung Galaxy Store, and the only reason for that is that Google feels entitled to taking 30% of transactions too.

I agree that the article lacked structure. I'm curious do you still do research at your local libraries? As in physically go out to the library even if you're still using online/digital materials there.

The web site might be JS, but actually booking the seat is in all likelihood going through PARS/IPARS. Which runs on an IBM mainframe.
I would trust it more than whatever corporate nonsense private sector would come up with

Not saying that there is not an argument to be made that the Cobol/Mainfram approach has it advantages. It is a straight jacket but some applications are really efficient compared with what is done these days.
> have the law require programmers follow it

Because that would create a certified profession like doctors and lawyer have to be and that would be bad for 98% of coders out there who don't know the difference between compiler and interpreter.
I don't understand why people want more bureaucracy, it never works out well.

I don't think I even need to list counter-examples to falsify this statement. Sure, we all remember examples of bureaucracy gone wrong, and get amnesia when we step onto an airplane.

As to the topic at hand, I dunno, a mostly-unregulated industry as it is now has such egregious examples that I'd be willing to see how this goes.
I'm not sure which page of the link above (the tax return) I'm supposed to look at... Where does it say the US govt is funding Tor, and if so, by what amount are they funding Tor?
At least use the glass shifter, have some self-respect.
I agree but trading OPTIONS is not day trading. It is based on probability and DURATION. Selling premium allows you to pick your duration,probability of profit and value at risk. This is NOT day trading which is financial sugar. This is the message that tastylive.com advocates. I am NOT compensated by them but they ARE people I trust and respect.
I don't think it makes sense to argue against the logic of identity politics by actively identifying as a victim, that only reproduces the very logic you are critiquing, since it is they who also view themselves as victims and who seek retribution for perceived violence against them as an identity group. This is the logic of Nazism at its core, and when you use it to defend traditional values it becomes even more blatantly obvious.

The horror (for you) is realizing that now this very same logic has been adopted by neo-liberal forces who seek to use radical politics not for freedom but to impose an even stricter, more terrible form of security, where it's not that people aren't allowed to speak their minds but rather that they police themselves first, they are unconsciously compelled to limit the range of acceptable discourse. Anybody who criticizes this regime is prevented by Corporate America from finding employment, effectively starving and killing them. Its fortunate that we have protected freedom of speech (at least in the US), but freedom of speech is not in the interest of our corporate masters and this regime of power limits it to the utmost degree for nobody in particular (since nobody benefits from this, in truth), but simply to serve a vast architecture of domination that most individuals in power are not even aware of, or aware they are being subjected too.

What most people fail to see is how neoliberal politics are WORSE than fascism--its almost like an advanced form of fascism, where the organized chaos of the market is utilized to rapidly generate victimhood and individual identities which rapidly alienate and atomize each and every person in society, who then believes their struggles are theirs alone, that resistance to power is futile because everyone fights their own battles, and that its not worth it to talk to anyone who isn't a member of your "identity", the numbers of which are so vast that it becomes impossible for anyone to talk to anyone else who has a difference of opinion, staying inside their little social bubbles which only interact through the means the very same technology and infrastructure employed in that domination.
I can totally imagine they're using Tor for some undercover (foreign) operations or similar. I don't think the US Government with all its branches is known to practise exactly what it preaches.
We got vastly better at security over the last three decades. Windows SMB shares completely open to the internet, networked code written in C without sanitisers, widely exploitable bugs in OSes - none of this is a regular occurrence anymore. There is no need to have bureaucrats get involved and line the pockets of "auditors" with ultimately useless checkbox exercises. We've seen all of this before, it never turns out as planned.
Customers who care about their data care that it's protected regardless of the size of the business. They care about availability regardless of the size of business.

If customers could make more informed decisions about these risks, i.e. if they could get access to company intellectual property and privileged information about operations, maybe we wouldn't need to consider this type of of legislation. But customers continue to be on the end of information asymmetry about company operations, so now customers need other ways to find protection. Maybe it's the case that there are economies of scale to resilience, and we have to accept some level of difficulty to disrupt because of that.
Its this new concept that says you can only be a nice, respectful person if you sign up to a particular ideology and view the world through this lens.

This ideology is usually espoused by people who have only have a couple of years life experience as an adult yet believe they are best positioned to tell everybody else how to think and behave.
The claim isn't that trans athletes are cheating. The claim is they should not be allowed to participate in women's sports.

The intersex athletes support this claim because, although their condition is "natural" in your sense, they are in fact being banned from participation in women's sports. For example, the various individuals mentioned above are restricted from participating in distances from 400m to a mile, including in particular 800m! (Thus they have switched to other distances, but the bans are likely to extend there too.)

That's a fact. A couple of years ago, I had to brush off my JCL skills for a job. It reminded me of why I was so happy when I didn't have to use JCL anymore.
In my language there are three wordforms: masculine, feminitive and middle. If you want to harass someone you can just missplace a letter in any verb about some person and he will be insulted! English is enough good by not having such a word formation, why does somebody need to insist of euphemisms?
Oh no! People expect us to do our jobs well and have absolute minimum legal standards and expectations of outcome? What a horror! What if we write code full of bugs, fail to write good unit tests, fail to do any manual dev testing, fail to find those bugs in QA (because we fired all of them or don't let them have any power to stop broken stuff from being pushed out), fail to find those bugs in integration testing, fail to have robust systems that can tolerate that kind of bug, and then people actually hold us accountable for that POS?

Gosh, can you imagine if other industries had to deal with such oppressive requirements, like if the local taco truck had to abide by some minimum standards of food safety, or if engineers would be held accountable for a bad bridge, or if accountants were expected to actually do their job correctly?

What a terrible world that would be.

> He clearly means on our doorstep.

I didn’t read that in their comment, and since I’m not American I assumed that they are talking about the world. Everyone knows USA is a hegemon in a global sense and not a regional sense. The past 70 years were not some conflict free utopia for rest of the world.

But I agree with your general point that we need to avoid further conflicts else we’re doomed.
In the 1980s, COBOL was taught in my computer database class. I actually used my COBOL skills at the federal government Veteran's Affairs job I had for several years after college.

If you are always chasing the latest language and get high on syntactic sugar, you are likely going to be a problem for management if you work at an IT shop because you'll be writing important one-off programs in various languages that people after you will be required to support or rewrite.

GnuCOBOL not only runs on Linux, it's pretty far along

https://gnucobol.sourceforge.io/faq/index.html

> GnuCOBOL implements a substantial part of the COBOL 85, COBOL 2002, COBOL 2014 and upcoming COBOL 202x standards, as well as many extensions from existing COBOL compilers.

It's also in the Ubuntu package repos, from a quick check.

I wouldn't dispute that the field of women's studies has positively impacted society. So have the sciences. Assuming their impact was similarly positive, we're back to the question of where are you now if your major investment in these fields was 30 or more years ago (as a way of predicting what an investment today would reap). My claim is that because science is more additive in how it builds itself that your older knowledge is more useful today.

And I can literally say that many who studied women's studies and related fields in the 70's have had a negative reward. There is simply no scientific analog to JK Rowling and the battle between "waves" of feminist in the sciences.
The root cause is the hubris to think we can "centrally plan but not really" utopia with these sorts of broad brush regulatory and carrot/stick policy changes.

Suburban sprawl (though they had different words for it) was very much the "15-minute city" urban planning buzzword of its day.

Ask HN: What is your preferred way to scroll a website while reading?
When reading an article online how do you prefer to scroll the page?

This is a two part question:

How do you physically scroll the page?

- Track Pad?

- Scroll Wheel on a Mouse?

- Scroll Ring on a trackball?

- Arrow Keys?

- Page Up/Down Buttons?

- Dragging the Scroll Bar?

- An unusual device like a foot pedal?

- Some kind of auto scrolling program?

- Some other thing?

How often do you scroll while reading?

- Do you continuously scroll the page while you are reading it?

- Do you read the entire page before scrolling?

- Some other behavior?

I'm curious what most people do. I like to scroll at the same time as I am reading it and I think this kind of thing might lead to RSI. I am considering switching to reading the whole page and then using Page Down.

It is not in fact the case that you can work out what Critical Theory, Critical Legal Theory, and Critical Race Theory (3 distinct concepts originating at 3 different points in the 20th century) axiomatically from the the word "critic".
I wouldn't be surprised if in certain social groups or contexts there are people who choose to toss the word "ethics" around very loosely and completely incorrectly. However, there is an entire serious study of ethics and ethical frameworks that is not simply about reinforcement of existing power structures and I would encourage you to broaden your education.

> I honestly think this is good

There is absolutely nothing good with that.

> but the software systems that control power in the hospital do not, even if they would allow hackers to shut down electricity for all ventilators

This is straight out false.

> Almost every other engineering profession needs to adhere to a variety of standards and is subject to certifications and review, except for software engineers.

This isn't a engineer certification process to begin with. This is just government overreach and regulatory capture which is going to siffle innovation because of all the legal liability created by the EU. This will burden open source projects with bureaucracy and effectively kill open source in Europe. Apple, Microsoft, they have the money to comply to all that garbage, and it will also put a huge legal burden on independent developers. Big consultancies are Big Tech are the only one happy to get rid of all the competition.

Imagine if all EU startups, the little that EU has, were forced to run their whole stack products from corporations that have the means to comply to all these regulations, do you really think that any of these startups would use open source projects like Linux, PHP, Ruby, Python, framework X or Z that didn't pay for a compliance review at first place? Startups are a thing because entrepreneurs don't have to pay big bucks to Microsoft, Accenture, Cap Gemini, ...

This is a bureaucratic Diktat under pretense of "cyber security".
It's not new, and it's not "profound intolerance", jfc. Cigarette advertising has been banned on American television since at least the 1980's, and it's generally been taboo to depict unnecessary cigarette usage in TV shows and movies for at least as long. This has actually been extraordinarily effective as part of a multifaceted effort to reduce cigarette usage and the resulting diseases.

And yes, people have been complaining about it on civil libertarian grounds at least as long. Which is fair enough.

But if you want to see some actual __intolerance__, you might look at what's happening in Florida.

After working full time in a wide variety of tech since 1983 (embedded systems work on medical equipment and commercial fire alarm systems, hotel reservation systems, ramp and fuel delivery systems in aviation, multiple startups in Silicon Valley, etc, ad naseum) I’m currently taking a break and working as a pin setter mechanic at a couple of local bowling alleys. The work is physical (running up and down the back of the 40 and 64 lane alleys, climbing up on the machines) and challenging in its own way: the machines were designed in the 50s and are a complex assortment of pulleys, belts, gears, cams, levers, etc. There is even a mechanical “computer” that acts as a state machine directing the operations of the machine. I still get to use my problem solving skills but in a much more tactile way. Also, no pointless meetings, conference calls. Downside: the pay is terrible. Fortunately I’m in a position in my life where that is not nearly as important as it used to be.

But a lot of newer open source software doesn’t have the resources to do this to the level they require. Plus, there will be gatekeepers established by the government (listed in the article) that can allow some software or not. These gatekeepers should exist, but in the form of certification companies, rather than taking on this ridiculous character:

As a left-libertarian, I agree with a lot of arguments from right-libertarians and ancaps, one of them being that regulations are welcomed by the big boys because they provide a government-enforced barrier to entry for all the smaller guys.

Think of Facebook’s threat to “buy or copy” competitors, but now it would be “buy or put out of business with government force”. Sounds a lot more menacing when you put it that way, no?
One thing to mention here is that it depends on the school.

I know a few teachers who quit or went private (for less money) because of problems in the system. The bureaucracy can be oppressive and conflict with your morals. Safety and mistreatment can also be a real concern in some areas. The good news here is that most of the kids you'd be dealing with would be taking programming as an elective, so they should actually give a damn.

You are mostly right, but the UK was extremely stupid to exit EU. They lost free access to their biggest market. And they made it harder and more expensive for their biggest suppliers to sell to them.
Oh my. That is cold.
We’ve found that candidates prefer this because it doesn’t require a ton of prep. Talk about something you know well in a conversation with other engineers. Do some minor diagramming as you go to help us understand. It’s thirty minutes with no gotchas.
They almost surely anticipated that this would happen at some point (though perhaps not so soon). They would look like major ass holes for dragging some post doc or whatever through the courts to make a point; would not be good for brand at all.

But it does give them cover for whatever people end up doing with it - they can claim they did all they could to support research while promoting safety.
As mentioned, you can disable evil mode in spacemacs or doom.

There's also prelude which doesn't include evil by default. Not quite as fully featured as doom/spacemacs, but it's a good place to start.

All that said, you could just set it up from scratch. Now that lsp-mode and dap-mode are things, you can setup a fully featured IDE in not very much config at all. I have everything in my init.el and setting up projectile, lsp-mode and dap-mode which is like 85% of what you need for a fully featured IDE. That bit is only about 30 lines of config. Throw in flycheck, company-mode, hydra for keybindings. maybe treemacs for a project view.. a few hundred other lines to make it not all look like trash....

On second thought, it's kind of a pain in the ass. Just use clion or vscode or something.
In any corporation many, if not most managers, directors and VPs are not measured by revenue impact. Not they don't have a revenue impact but that they aren't measured by it because the contribution is indirect. In those cases, I notice that the 4 most common places for distorting or cheating the system aren't in the article--budget, head count (hiring), performance reviews and space allocation. And the gaming can come from below by inflating budget requests, head count and the like--empire building, or from above by underinvesting in or cutting critical functions where the revenue impact is indirect.
I would not call anyone the N-word but would ask for a brown paper bag if I needed it at the grocery store. I have personally never met someone that is offended by the use of eg. colors as a concept but yet some people are trying to remove them from language.
> You are not going to be installing the latest hot js framework on a mainframe.

I think IBM would disagree with you, given how much they've pushed Linux (and, therefore, Linux web servers running Node and kin) on their mainframes. You won't be installing much of anything like that on a midrange system, but Linux on Z is pretty well established.
