Inheritance has nothing to do with oop, oop was about message passing.
Most big oop languages seem to discourage inheritance in favor of composition, how can inheritance be a requirement?

On the other side, message passing and dynamic dispatch are strictly related and you can do that with golang interfaces!

So yes, it does support full oop,
what it doesn't support is class-based programming.

Does it matter at this point? Oop hasn't solved any of the big problems it claimed and fp did not either.

Did you know you can also have a BLOB as a primary key for a table? I found that in an app I just took over the other day. Was shocked.
And since 2012 we accelerate in the wrong direction. I wish i saw this article 2012, it could have saved me a lot ;-)
This is misleading, because the Prevailing Wage also applies based on the average wage by geographic area. This means that Bay Area H1B workers have a minimum wage of something north of $125K/yr depending on their area of expertise.

It's still a bit low, but it's not laughably low like the $60K absolute minimum.

I read somewhere that new security protocols at T-Mobile stopped it. Accounts can only access a certain amount of data before it's locked out.
My understanding is that before git a substantial portion of the industry used the "one big shared drive and shouting across the room to lock files" version control system. There was also SVN that was pretty popular pre-git.

I don't believe any version control system achieved as deep industry penetration as git has.
It’s not because there are infinite decimals between every two decimal numbers. That applies to the rational numbers too, e.g. there are infinite rational numbers between 1/2 and 3/4. Rather, the real numbers are more dense in a way that makes them fundamentally larger than the integers / rational numbers. “Larger” means not being able to pair up the two sets one by one so that each element of both sets is the member of a pair. No matter how you pair up the integers to the reals, you can prove that some real numbers will be unpaired.
Much obliged! That article is off with a strong start
> I do believe in privacy rights, but... free porn just doesn't feel like a must-exist thing in the sense we are all talking about.

In other words, you don't actually believe in privacy rights because all it takes is one flimsy reason that you happen to, if not agree with, don't really find objectionable to violate them. Is the harm caused by anyone under arbitrary age seeing porn harmful enough to violate everyone's right to privacy, even when there are already existing solutions to help prevent minors from accessing pornography?

Parental controls exist. Tools to block websites like pornhub or any other porn website exist already. You might say that it's too easy to circumvent parental controls. I'd say that it's just as easy to circumvent ID requirements, so if your goal is to actually protect children from pornography, it's not going to be anymore effective than current access controls.
Brutalism is one of those things that means many things to many people, and gets brutally simplified (heh) in the public eye. There's more to any brutalist building than the architect's own idea of brutalism, and of course each architect's idea of what brutalism can be is more than the stripped-down least common denominator definition.

For example, one of the ideas behind using raw concrete for public buildings instead of something sleeker and more expensive is to make public institutions more welcoming and accessible to ordinary people. Traditionally, public buildings were built to project the prestige and power of the class of people who ran elite institutions, at the expense of common people who themselves might feel a bit raw and brutal compared to the sleek and expensive buildings where the sleek and expensive elites ran the world in their sleek and expensive suits. Raw concrete is supposed to communicate that the building, and the institution inside, is (at least supposed to be) working for the public, not spending their money to elevate and aggrandize the people in power.

In other words, in those cases, concrete is meant to create a relatable and accessible rawness, like Gritty the Philadelphia Flyers mascot.

I think it works out a lot better in reality than people think, when a building is well-designed. Architectural photography can hide ugliness — almost every building has its equivalent of the flattering "Myspace angle" — but it can also manufacture it, and with the right lighting, angle, and exposure, it's easy to make any tall concrete building look like a gloomy looming hulk.

Local feelings are a better guide to whether a building is good or not than the feelings of people who have never seen a building in person and have been primed by tendentious photography.
I believe you get 6 sessions on the NHS, but the therapist can recommend you for more if they think it's warranted.
Actually, the function returns success if the input contains "." and printf succeeds, so it does not consider 2e3 to be a float. I agree that this function is odd (it's not even useful for identifying simple numbers of the form "123.456", because it considers 2.0e3 to be a float).
Companies normally pay for that sort of penetration testing...

That's some amazing hypocrisy.
Funnily enough our company will start to roll out an internal ChatGPT UI with an agreement with Azure on not to use the data for training etc, where we would be allowed to share internal data.

Honestly if I was having one of my bad depressive episodes, and someone told me to download a fucking app that's supposed to help me by pandering to me, or I'm supposed to do therapy with a fucking experimental language model. It might depress me so much I'd finally have the motivation to end it.

Because yeah, that's dystopian as hell, not to mention dehumanising.

Pornography is dangerous. It's extremely addictive and users become increasingly tolerant to what their viewing, often leading to the development of distressing fetishes or real life intimacy issues.

I'm sex positive and I believe in being open with children about the realities of life but the dangers of pornography are real.
It always been illegal to use VPNs to skirt laws. Downloading movies doesn't become legal when you use a VPN, lol.
Graffiti?

My question is always, what are you trying to accomplish? If you don't want someone to know who you are, why would anyone listen to you? Considering AI, voice and text, how do I know I'm talking to you the you I want to talk to?

In the past when I worked for people with questionable ethics they would often just schedule a lunch and discussing a noisy restaurant their dealings. If they had adversarial contacts, they would have lawyers send letters.

Public private keys are great yet there's still no way to verify the source if the key is compromised.

I suppose, if I really wanted to send a message to someone, I would encode the message, with a shared secret or use of language, acting as a signature, and they would know it as me.

My family members have verbal and nonverbal cues, noises, phrases that will tell them they're in danger or to bring a weapon or if they are under duress.

I recently received my text message from an unknown number. I knew exactly who it was. I had the context and history allowing me to validate that the only person who would message me as such is a fellow HN reader.
They will also give the discount if you use a debit card. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is because FedNow launches this summer (usa is finally getting nationalized instant payments) and the qualifying information is your debit card or checking details.

If victims would be primarily black or native that wouldn't change anything about the diabolic nature of the experiment but it would add a very relevant spin to it.
I like how you only attacked me and not even tried to acknowledge you are lacking empathy by wanting to kick people out of a place due to some misplaced anger :)

You are aware you can want the current immigration system to change without causing massive harm to some people, right? They are people, with lives, just like you, not some faceless cog in a machine that you can decide doesn't suit you anymore and be thrown out.

It's not cynical and manipulative to remind yourself that these are lives, not a fucking number, we are talking about.

Good luck with your anger, hopefully you can find healthier and more productive ways to express it.
You can sue, but you'll need to wait until you suffer damages. And good luck proving that it was in fact THIS breach that caused your identity theft.

The system is broken. There is no accountability whatsoever. You have no power to change any of this. It's all fucked.
Yeah, because the internet was free to access everyone, data became the background currency and advertisers figured out how to de-anonymize everyone years ago. That ship has sailed.
TPM based disk encryption is mostly useful as theft protection, so that companies, education facilities or government agencies can provision 100,000 devices without having to match smartcards/fobs/disk passwords to devices and users. (Which often leads to terrible security practices, like backup passwords shared between devices etc.)

So cracking it in 3 hours by amateurs is pretty bad, because now even not too sophisticated thieves can start looking for crypto wallets or sensitive data to ransom.
Unless you can confirm the keyboard is not compromised, no amount of security matters.
Small discussion on conspiracy I had on HN: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...

Apparently having a conversation on planning a crime between 2 people can result in a charge of conspiracy. So therefore, does talking about ways to steal would come under conspiracy to commit a crime?

I'm a passionate software developer coming out of a bootcamp, but with a decent amount of experience writing code. My coding journey is over a decade long, attending the bootcamp more to brush up on skills more than anything.

I'm a very quick learner, and I am looking for an environment focused on that growth. I won't be making the same contributions as a seasoned developer on day 1, but with time I'll prove myself as an extremely valuable player. I have both the puzzle solving skills necessary and a strong set of communication skills from my background in teaching.

Aren't sure if I am up to snuff because of a lack of experience? Email me to set up an interview where I can showcase my problem solving skills. Thank you so much for your consideration!
Infinity is equal to the product of all the primes. It is even because it has 2 as a factor.
> Can't really blame it on demand anymore.

I'm 100% positive it's demand. Bing uses it, and Microsoft gets the exclusivity rights because they invested billions into OpenAI (which you didn't). Then there's all the other commercial players who are looking to build product on top of it.
NVIDIA hasn't had thousands of cores, unless you count every SIMD ALU lane as a core.
I have family that is quite severly mentally ill.

They are on SSI and Medic[are|aid] (not sure which).

The nice thing about their insurance, is that it covers 100% of their mental health care needs.

I am not aware of any private insurance that even comes close. The most I've seen, is a limited run of social worker appointments. No inpatient, heavy co-pays, etc.

Mental health is not a priority, in the US. We spend a lot more effort and money, ensuring that mentally ill people have access to weapons, than to care.
Good on OpenAI
You can interview people about their past experiences.
FUD, there’s just as much uplifting and positive stuff coming out of MJ and other AI tools. You’re just focusing on the negative.
My understanding is that everything is encrypted by default in GCP. Though you need to manually configure encryption keys if you want to prevent Google ever having access to your data.

There has? Where?

Specifically for Windows PCs, not chromebooks or apples.
first, congrats :)

I've been working in early-stage startups for 10 years, and here are my principles to fully enjoy the experience:

1: focus // keep the focus on your objectives and results. in a fast-growing environment, you can work on multiple projects. your priority is to reach your goals, get the job done, and make the company grow.

2: ship it // you may have to go beyond your primary missions as described in your job description. learn to learn, learn to dare, and stay curious.

3: your point of view matters // share your thoughts in full transparency. constructive feedback helps the team grow. no matter what the topic is, your work matters.

hope it helps! enjoy!
In what world is sex-Ed comparable to hardcore pornography?
It seems that the better law would be to require sites carry some standardized nsfw/18+ tag or marker so they could easily be filtered by parental controls. Sites in violation could be fined if they did not include the marker.

There would probably still be trivial ways to work around this (e.g. content blocker to remove the marker) but it would be no more trivial than the current vpn workaround and it would be more privacy preserving.

I'm not speaking about your case but the reason so many folks hate the program is it brings in slaves that are exploited by companies and lower the standard of pay (and quality). Countries like India export this poverty in many industries around the world and here in the US it's IT Industry.

On a tangent. There was an online interview of an Indian fellow that was eventually hired. When this person showed up to work the manager and folks who interviewed him, swore it wasn't the person they interviewed. There is so much fuckery going on that it should be abolished.

Every American kid should be given a chance first and only then should the job be offered through a program like H1B. We have a lot of kids having a difficult time finding work after Uni. Companies are using the program to basically hire temp slaves and it's hurting the entire Industry.

Just saying....

Because people actually don't like to think. They hate being confronted with unfamiliarity, which is the prerequisite for all learning. They dislike coming up with original ideas, as they have none and would need to work to get some. It's tiring to concentrate for a long time, and it's mentally draining. People routinely give up trying to come up with a solution or even trying to solve the problem altogether when they can't find a quick and easy solution. That's the level of creativity and intelligence in most people - they don't want thinking too much to get in the way of just experiencing life, preferably in bite-sized episodes of 30 minutes (minus ads).

Being handed all the correct solutions without the need to work for them in any way is a nightmare for artists and artisans, craftsmen and researchers, curious puzzle-solvers and Ayn Rand believers. It's pretty much a paradise for everyone else.

I agree with this. I was working on a project that was only available with Mercurial and I spent three days just trying to figure out how to not irreversibly corrupt my repo for a one-line change. I never figured it out and gave up since it wasn't super important.

I was happy when Atlassian finally sunset Mercurial, forcing those repositories to move to git. I'd rather all major source code hubs standardize on git since it's harder to contribute needing to learn different incompatible workflows.

Do you think there is or isn't deleterious effects when children watch misogyny at a young age, what about watching programming that would show the beating of animals, even if animated and just for "fun", or programming that shows being "fat" is undesirable and indulging in bulimia is desirable (what could be wrong with over-eating and then just vomiting excess, right?)

No, I think there are things young minds should be shielded from some things to avoid future mental developmental consequences.

You know how movie directors make a movie and in their mind a given movie is supposed to be propaganda against something, but for people lacking this cultivated framework it's a celebration of doing the wrong thing? Take a movie about how being a gangster is bad --but for many moviegoers it's an invitation to the "glamorous" life or power, respect and success...
Nope. Just because one infinity passes one test for evenness does not imply they all infinities do.
After skimming through the article it's not too clear to me what the misuse was. My best guess is entering "personal or company related information into the services"?
That is the exact service that came to mind when I saw the words “abandoned” and “enshittification”.
This depends on what you're buying and where. In Virginia we have an ABC (Alcholic Beverage Control) which is the only place you can buy spirits. They do scan your ID. The grocery store does not. The restaurants do not. The porn shops presumably do not, either. Basically the only other time might be to buy something like sudafed at a pharmacy, but I haven't done so recently enough to know if that's actually scanned at all, either.
Some engineer from Netflix once said something along the lines: "Microservices, not too many, mostly alongside team boundaries". Meaning most microservices should be wholly owned by a team and a team should ideally own only one microservice (but exceptions are allowed under special circumstances)

Like microservices, I feel code abstractions should be thought in a similar way, mostly a thing we use in our team, not company wide

In my own team I have to fight very hard to keep dependencies to external code down, the amount of entangling people are willing to put their code through is just crazy. An argument I often put is: "Why should we use lib X from team Y from my company if they don't even feel it is good enough to open source?". Any external code that my team imports into our project should be good enough it could be open sourced (given IP-rights allowing)
Very interesting. But still the most concerning thing about propaganda is more basic than that. It is that people don't know or are in denial about it's use against them and more generally in all wars.

Wars are strategic actions by nations. But humans generally will not engage in mass killing for strategic reasons. They need moral reasons. So propaganda is necessary for warfare in order to frame war in a moral manner. The enemy or enemy leaders are depicted as evil or inhuman. Or their most despicable acts are emphasized to create a sense of 'morally-justified' hatred or the idea that they must be stopped or punished at all costs. Such as killing millions of people if necessary or destroying a country.

Actually, if it serves their interests and especially if all of their neighbors are not protesting, humans will go along with pretty much anything. But you do need to at least give them a cover story.

Technology should theoretically be able to help reduce the influence of propaganda through things like new types of decentralized news distribution.

Core isn't a standardized unit of measurement. ARM-cores on the Apple Silicon line and the x86-Intel/AMD core behave very differently.
I'm not sure about standardized tooling.

Docker is being replaced with Podman. Supposedly a drop-in replacement, but the tools built for Docker don't play nicely. You have Ansible, but there's also Puppet, Salt, Chef. There's Terraform and also CDKTF (from the same company too), Pulumi, plus tools from each cloud provider. There's Prometheus and Nagios, Datadog, Sentry, New Relic.

The irony of CI/CD tool of your choice is not lost on me.

I'll give you Kubernetes itself as the system.

Yes, the concepts (containers, orchestration, reproducible deployment, infrastructure as code, unified monitoring, continuous integration) are well-established. How you get there? Not at all.

Yes, the OP was hyperbolic when claimed the tools change every year. But the landscape of devop tools is changing. There are dozens of dev tool companies funded in the 2023 winter batch of Y Combinator alone. Someone sees potential to disrupt the established tools. And it will be disrupted.

There was a world before Kubernetes and Terraform. It wasn't that long ago.
