Not sure how you came to this conclusion in this particular case. File APIs have been around for decades, and are well understood.

Changing the behaviour of a file mode from truncate to not-truncate is a questionable decision because these are very explicit options a developer would carefully select, and therefore would not expect to see a change in behaviour to something already covered by a different option.

I work in finance and I can confidently say it would be at the top of my mind that this kind of change would result in leaking data or corrupting data because I regularly explicitly choose truncation to avoid exactly that when I generate new reports.

It's also ironic that you complain about hyperbole then accuse people of "pretending to be smart". You don't need to be smart to see this as a security issue, you just need some real world development experience.
How would that work exactly? How would the FBI protect infrastructure and which infrastructure?

Should it be at the ISP? Should the FBI give every business a black box and say "put this between the internet and your network, we'll monitor and defend against cyber criminals" but if the company did that they would be giving the FBI all of their inbound and outbound traffic.I guess you could use the _nothing to hide_ argument but that's ridiculous.

If we put the onus of security on the FBI/Government that just means a larger government and less rights. Take the PATRIOT Act for example.
Bit rude of you to assume that I'm apparently an alcoholic or a smoker.

Nice illustration of my point that public awareness on sleep apnea is lacking.

Good luck figuring out the root cause of sleep apnea. Years of research hasn't turned one up. There's a wide variety of contributing factors (including weight, alcohol, asthma/COPD). But there's also plenty of fat asthmatic drunks who don't have sleep apnea. It's obviously not as simple as you're making it out to be.

Spreadsheets are rather peculiar. I don't think anyone would come up with the concept of them today.

This "fill formula down/right" feature is so strange. A developer would be like: let's just set a formula for the entire column, and make it refer to another column. And let's name the columns something. Like Airtable.

But its surpringly flexible and hackable.

I wish there was something like GSheets + Airtable.
There also used to be a setting that would turn this off, but it isn't present in the version with the button. That same option can be chosen with a command flag, but that requires editing the Edge shortcut.
Well the implication is that:

- there are such docs
- you can find them
- they won't lie to you
- they'll be enough to give you a picture of how everything works

It's great that Docker fits this criteria, but in general tools that let you cut out a few of those steps and inspect how the actual thing is running live are also nice.

Ideally, consider using both: trust the docs, but validate regardless to have more confidence.

The distinction is when the transmission line is "electrically short" relative to the wavelength of the highest harmonic of interest (typical in audio unless your speaker wires are 40km long), and thus its impedance doesn't play much of a role (and therefore you "see" the load directly), or if the transmission line is "electrically long" (typically the case in RF), so your source is driving the line rather than driving the load directly.
Applaud her for at least admitting she’s doing most of this for attention and nothing else. It’s hard to get that kind of information out of many folks. It’s unfortunate that she has such parents who are the main cause of these habits.

That said, it didn’t even sound like romantic rejection? She seemed to leave before anything could happen? I’m confused by it tbh. The headline doesn’t really add up. Seems like a bait of a headline when she’s just attention seeking overall. It’d be better to say, “I’m learning to not be as attention seeking”.
Hacker news is just too keen on shitting on .NET
In my experience switching from Java to .NET was an epiphany. The language is 10x more concise, async/await is the same as in javascript, the documentation and official guides are miles ahead of Java, and it's just a pleasure to work with.

For those who only know the story of Brutus (the leader of assassins whom apparently Caesar didn't expect to be his traitor) there was another Brutus the most famous one in Rome who in the early times of Rome, when it was still a kingdom, killed a tyrant and that put down the foundation of roman republic.

This guys, Lucius Junius Brutus, was a hero of the republic and his killing of then king Lucius Tarquinius Superbus regarded as a great, inspiring act.

Romans according to legends swore to never have a king again. For that reason there was never a king in the empire but an emperor who was not de jure a king, he just held all the leading political functions at once :).

So these assassins who killed Caesar saw themselves as heroes, they didn't think they'll be regarded as criminals and condemned but expected to be the saviours of the republic and remembered for ages to come.

Later in the revolutionary years, when e.g. french republicans were slaying king they too looked up to the legend of the very first Brutus and saw themselves not merely assassins but heroes of the people.

In the case of the very first Brutus, they swore to kill the king after he raped and killed one of his companions wife, one can definitely argue he was a heroic figure. In the case of latter wannabe Brutuses it's very clear they aimed for power consciously or subconsciously hiding behind ideals. The subsequent genocides and thefts of property like in the case of French revolution or Lenin's who even died of syphilis are just too obvious.

People use that blog post as a slam dunk over the years, but my reaction has always been "yes, fine, but that's a small price to pay".

For example, very rarely in my experience does a function switch between synchronous and asynchronous. So when it does happen and I have to update upstream call sites, it's not so frequent nor painful enough to damn the whole abstraction and then go "see? it sucks".

When people suggest an alternative abstraction like Go, I compare my 50 lines of WaitGroup code in Go to things like `await Promise.all([prom1, prom2])` in Javascript. It's all just trade-offs.

The price point is also in a sweet spot in the sense that if I break it or lose it or something, it won't be a painful financial loss. The same reason why I never buy sunglasses above $50. "I will financially recover from this."
But since he "won" one would have expected that to mean peace from that point on, except he hasn't really won since eventually he got himself killed.

Like many things, it's all about perspectives, long term vs short term focus, counterfactuals, and an occasional dose of contrarianism, which always fueled the attempt of essayists to raise above the noise (by being noisier)

Seems to be a weird American tech thing. In the real world, people lose their jobs, do their notice period (if any) and take steps towards securing a new one.

For whatever reason, American tech workers appear to think they should get 5-10x the median income or more, also get stock in the company, also have flexible work/life hours and also be "looked after" (what does this mean? More money?) after they're fired.

They're clearly in a bubble.
The end is definitely true but also - if you’re constantly getting rejected in a variety of scenarios(bars, online, social circles, different countries, etc)… then likely the only commonality there is you and you might want to figure out what the issue is and if you can solve it.

“Far superior... at making basic 90s UIs that nobody else wants today.
For better or worse, but the reality is nobody wants them anymore. Branding is a thing. When a client wanted something different you used to tell them "You can't have that" and they had to take it, because there was no other option.”

Were you actually there in the 90s and 00s or are you just imagining how things could have been?

I personally developed fully skinned UIs in Delphi’s cousin, C++ builder on Windows in the late 90s and in the 00s. In addition to that, VCL apps had a rich palette of drag & drop widgets, including commercial products that were better than anything the competition was offering, including Microsoft.

I used a lot of Windows apps over the years and literally everything from custom windows shapes, colors and background, to custom widgets and cursors, etc I’ve ever seen was possible to develop in Delphi or C++ builder.

”The instant web enabled and normalized arbitrary UIs, "You can't have that" Delphi people simply went out of business. Because it turned out Delphi was far inferior at doing what people actually wanted.”

Delphi was mismanaged by Borland, sabotaged by Microsoft and they charged a ton of money for the software. Starting with WinForms and C# MS finally had a reasonably competitive alternative to offer.

The web had nothing to do with Delphi’s decline. In the 00s we used a combination of back-end languages with some JS for enhancement and Flash for special cases or multimedia-heavy sites. Macromedia Flash remained the most capable web-based technology for a long time after Delphi was already in decline. As a former Flash developer, I can say confidently that Flash and Delphi/C++ Builder served different use-cases and were not competing with each-other.

Edge's only real feature is that it works... sometimes. I use it only when i run across some work-related thing where edge is literally the only option, like stupid configs whereby msoffice runs inside the browser. Instead of just downloading a pdf i have to trick edge into "printing" a docx to a pdf format that i can then actually read like a sane person. When edge dies i will be first to dance on its grave.
On the other hand, there's a lot of great tech (including, I think, the iPad pro and Apple silicon) that just wouldn't exist if the bean counters hadn't said yes, it's a good idea to invest a few billions of dollars into this...
> During my work with Oberon and systems implemented in Oberon, I kept asking myself what properties the language would need to have so that I could use it for my own systems too, without giving up the goal of making it as simple as possible.

From here: https://oberon-lang.github.io/2021/07/15/motivation-for-a-ne...

And yet it carries over all of the inanities of the many Oberons before it like:

- Four different loops (while, for, repeat, and loop)

- Useless distinction between procedures and functions

- Randomly selected ASCII symbols to show what is exported and/or read-only

- extremely awkward and limited exception handling (you have to call a procedure that cannot hav a return type using a built-in pcall procedure that writes exception info into a variable you pass into it)

and so on.

All of Oberons are just walking around in circles re-implementing the same weird ideas again, and agian, and agian, and again.
The truly chilling possibility is that even at current levels, si could be used to coordinate the actions of thousands of individuals for their collective gain, sort of an AI driven utility based members only club capable of manipulating local and global economic conditions. Being locked on the outside of these kinds of organizations could have strong deleterious effects.
I love to see more activity in this area!

I'm maintainer of GoReplay https://github.com/buger/goreplay and work in this area for the last 10 years.

It is quite hard problem to solve, because you have to deal with state difference between test and production environments. Love your approach to mocking dependencies, and leveraging OpenTelementry. It potentially can solve some of state issues. But still require modifying user code. I wonder if it can be done purely using OpenTelementry (e.g. you depend on typical OTel setup), and then read the data directly from OTel DB.

Cheers!
I studied CS at ETH from 2001 to 2006. Oberon was the main language used for teaching our introductory CS courses IIRC. Fun times. :-)
Only part of Denmark is on the continent, but anyway.

The categories are "Laptop computer", "Macbook" and "Chromebook" on Denmark's largest electronics retailer: https://www.elgiganten.dk/computer-kontor/computere

It seems to me that Facebook has put out many many open source libraries, but React is the only one that has taken off in a bigway outside FB. People generally scoffed at FB technically since they were built on PHP.

I think bringing the functional programming approach and princinpled state management to frontend was just something that the time was ripe for.

(Also React was much different back then, before hooks, etc).
It evokes a larger brand of similar wordplay which is basically the professional equivalent of "it's not you, it's me". The reason people don't like it is that it essentially tries to trick applicants into misunderstanding their economic interest, rather than just admit they're rejecting you because you're bad.

> If such an applicant gets a job...

Getting the job offer would not cause any of those problems. By getting it you would build valuable interviewing experience. Taking it is the thing that's not in your interest. That's all I'm trying to say.

Same, every time I run windows update on my lab with 22+ computers somehow (to no one's real surprise) OneDrive reappears, Edge keeps getting reset as my default PDF viewer on the regular (acrobat reader DC is installed), and lately the search bar added a bing icon to access AI search.

As usual, figuring out how to disable it took an exercise in asking "what would I call this feature if I didn't want anyone to find it and disable it".

I hate that I have so much OS specific software, definitely heading towards setting up a test computer with Linux to see how much I can get to work. It will be harder than it sounds but some of this stuff is legacy executables from Windows XP so getting them to run on Windows 11 might be just as much of a stretch.
Funny rant.

But honestly, I'm not sure those are valid points.

KWin remembers windows settings. If it doesn't for you, you maybe used a switch that disables that (even I would not know where this switch could be). If you have some apps that try hard to use their own placing policy (which KDE apps don't do), there is always the override in the window rules right there to be turned on…

Configured settings never change randomly on updates. It may be that new defaults are set, and in case you've never touched the affected setting it will use its new default thereafter. But once you set something by hand, it will stay so. Forever.

Audio just works. Since many years now. At least if you don't touch it to hard… It of course automatically remembers settings OOTB. I have a setup with Bluetooth speakers, build in audio, and headphones, internal and external mic, and I had never issues since years. Powering the Bluetooth speakers on or off automatically switched profiles, and also always restores the profiles flawlessly. It's still PA, as I'm not going to switch until Debian does so by default. (That's actually always a very good strategy regarding any new shiny things in Linux! It will save you a lot of trouble.)

All the described broken things sound like "a distri thing", to be honest. If it's a Ubuntu derivative I would not even wonder…

They have different magnetic susceptibilities. Gold is diamagnetic (repelled by magnetism); tungsten is paramagnetic (attracted). A strong magnetic field (neodymium magnets) and sensitive scales can tell them apart. I built a small rig a few years ago with parts from Aliexpress that worked for coins and for bars it's just scaling it up.
An aside: what do people mean when they say “hallucinations” generally? Is it something more refined than just “wrong”?

As far as I can tell most people just use it as a shorthand for “wow that was weird” but there’s no difference as far as the model is concerned?

And modern macOS has no Nvidia drivers at all. Would Linux be a better OS if they simply removed the choice for the user to use Nvidia if they want like Apple does? I'd argue not and I'd also argue blaming Linux for a third party's support they don't really control is a bit ridiculous.

It has loads of weirdly missing basic features like the ability to adjust the sound of a monitor's speakers when connected by HDMI or DP. Updates are the absolute slowest of any OS regardless of whether it's a whole new version or a security update. And if your SSD kicks the bucket the whole machine is a brick.
What I thought was excruciating about the Kursk, beyond Russia refusing foreign assistance for almost two days, is if it had been stood on end where it sank, the hull would have breached the surface of the water by over 170ft (sank in 330ft of water, hull length 505.2ft). fwiw, Arnaud Jerald holds the world record depth reached by a free diver, 367.5 feet.
It seems unlikely that members of tenure/promotion and grant-review committees would have a high regard for candidates who publish in journals that accept papers that garnered negative reviews.

We already have blogs, arxiv, and similar. The main addition here seems to be that editors write something in addition to peer reviews. Where will they find the time to write these meta-reviews, and to deal with the inevitable complaints that may follow? This is asking a lot, particularly when it will be in service of a journal unlikely to have a good reputation.
I correctly guessed this would have to do with bandwidth pricing, but I didn't successfully anticipate which specific aspect of bandwidth pricing; this quirk had never occurred to me before, but yeah... that sucks :(.

i think all statments in that sentence could be argued with.
I've kind of come to the point of view that part-ness is the quality of non-intelligibility without the whole object. We usually think of the liver as a "part" of a human body and an isolated liver doesn't make any sense (indeed, an isolated liver cannot even continue existing as a liver). Essential to this view is that part-hood is relational and, consequently, not a fixed property of things per se.

I'm not a philosopher, but I do like to think about mereology.
I’ve never had an issue with Nix itself on macOS but there are occasionally packages that are broken on macOS but work on Linux - despite upstream supporting macOS.

I'm up for AWS bashing more often than not, but I don't get what this post is proposing. Should AWS overcharge for the RDS traffic that is handled differently than generic customer connections? Or should they do deep packet inspection on all traffic to pick out MySQL replication streams and bill them at lower rate because... reasons? Or something else?

What does the better version of this situation look like?
