I hate the term "post-truth". As if lying, rumors and disinformation didn't exist before that.

I can't count the amount of bullshit I heard on the news before social media was a thing, and fact checking was much harder. There is no "truth world", just an arms race between truth and fakes. AI tools can generate fakes but also detect them. Social media can be used to spread rumors but also cover an event like never before.
So, a mundane episode of Black Mirror.
You're right of course. I think they attack a new market from two directions. First they just enter the market, rules be damned. But from a different angle they have a huge lobbying arm to make themselves legal in the long run and in favorable terms. That's actually not a bad strategy businesswise IF you can pull it off in enough places. Usually the public really likes the service so there is no push back.
Bern is the closest thing the Swiss have to a capital. Most of the foreign embassies are located there (if not all, though some countries just have a presence in Geneva).

> the public's inability to engage with epistemological problems on systemic scales

The public's inability? What about everyone's inability. No one deals well with epistemological problems on a systematic scale, not even the technologists who delude themselves into thinking that they're driving anything.

I am exactly talking about psychological limits. The difference is that I don't think the psychological limits of the creators are any different from those of the users. If anything, I think the creators are more psychologically limited than the users. This is because the creators need to explain to themselves why they are creating the thing - everyone else just puts up with it. When you say ppl will either be duped or completely check out of discourse, don't forget about yourself.

Also, of course I didn't read the article....

Yes they are, according to people who use both terms. All “free software” licenses are also “open source” licenses and vice versa.

He's been the maintainer of glibc (still a developer), and a variety of other key bits of open source software. He's kind of famously abrasive/obtuse: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2378013.

I wouldn't claim I know "the reason", but it often feels like there's just a lot less enthusiasm for education and learning in the US, across the whole society. My relatives have been screamed at every day for decades that teachers are clearly overpowered by their unions, or that they are trying to undermine your authority as a parent because your local school teaches basic biology, or that they're pawns of the gay agenda and trying to turn your kids into trans or something, meanwhile actual small town school teachers are pretty fucking conservative, including being openly and vocally "covid is a hoax" in front of their whole class of first graders.

Everyone is convinced they are the smartest one in the room even though they haven't read a book in a decade and their child can't even do their basic times tables. Meanwhile teachers are finally giving up after what amounts to direct abuse for at least 4 decades, with stagnant pathetic wages, zero support from administration, absurd requirements placed on them by people with ulterior motives, now bullshit book bans, outright parent hostile actions, and nevermind the fact that in many places the "requirements" to be a teacher is have an occasional pulse.

Oh, and lets not talk about the abysmal state of education materials companies, which are hollowing out and rent seeking just like every other corp in the US, so it's not like we are even giving our kids helpful tools.

I'm soooo tired of bullshit like this. Fear of your job, fake news, yadda yadda, I get it. It is just boring. Almost as if written by an AI.

The whole post-truth, fake-news agenda is foreign to me even without AI, I don't know anyone save a few "flat-earth" like freaks who would fall for the classical disinformation trope.

No, nothing substantial follows. This was just a rant :)

PS: I feel the talk about disinformation, fake-news etc. is doing more of the stated purpose of fake-news and disinformation as disinformation and fake-news itself. I'll try to substantiate that claim in the near future, I promise.

Awesome I’ll check it out.
I mean, if it's just Python code as config for a Python, couldn't you just write your config in a Python file and include it?

Typically the reason for not using a full-blown programming language for config is to avoid Turing creep - the tendency to want to push complexity into config in order to make the application code simple. At some point the config gets to complex it needs its own config.

I run into this temptation using Lua a lot. Lua tables are perfect for config, but it would also sometimes be so convenient to just pop on a metatable and turn it into a class, maybe a proper API, when really all I need is a table that defines constants, maybe some conditionals, arrays, a map and that's it.

There's a spectrum of risk comfort in mountaineering though.

At the end of the day if there's a rockslide, there's nothing you can do, so you have to be willing to accept some level of risk.

But at the same time, the majority of mountaineering deaths are due to people taking unnecessary risks (for the sport). Being poorly prepared in terms of gear, or making poor decisions, or not being educated enough in climbing, safety assessment, and rescue techniques.

There's absolutely a lot you can do to mitigate the risk, and I think even the experienced mountaineers who choose to take more risk (say, traveling lighter and placing less protection in order to cover more ground in a day) don't advocate for that as the standard way to practice the sport.

I'll be honest, I've had a few close calls myself, but I've taken those as lessons in how to do things more safely going forward, because I value doing things safely more than "bagging more peaks".

I guess if your dream is something like "climb every mountain" accepting more risk is necessary.

But I don't see why the people on this Titanic expedition couldn't have achieved their goals while spending a bit more time on R&D + QA.

Also, people should be making these risk decisions for themselves, not others. The CEO may have had it coming to him, but I feel bad for the other crew on board if they weren't able to decline the expedition, or weren't provided adequate information about the testing that had been done.

> But how those SDK events gets translated into UI control movement is obviously going to be dependent on each developer. And I suspect the variance in quality will be much greater than with iOS given everything is in 3D.

Why is the variance any different? You're provided a tuple representing where the user is looking similar to the location of their fingers? You're provided a hook for when the user clicks (with their fingers) in various ways?

This all relies on Apple to accurately capture those inputs at the device and OS level to provide it to developers, which they've apparently done a very good job at. The abstractions on top of this don't feel very different than those that exist on any other platform.
Rocky can offer support on helping you install it. But they can't offer real support. They can't fix bugs or do any real work on RHEL beyond requesting that Red Hat accept a fix. If Red Hat declines, Rocky can't even ship their own fix.

As for politicians opposing a bill, this seems... unsurprising. There's generally politicians on all sides of any given bill. It passed relatively easily so they were clearly in a small minority.

Fwiw this bill was widely supported by many opposition parties - so not something that's been forced through by a ruling party majority.

All said your doomsaying around SF coming to power alongside the scare quotes around the word "gender" give me a fairly strong indication that your own political perspectives likely align with the intolerant minority of politicians who opposed this.

Name an open source license that you don’t consider free software, then. Note that “source available” (Business Software License, etc.) is not the same thing as “open source”.
I think the true tragedy of public education in the US is the sentiment of the public itself. The thinking that it's a conveyer belt where we put our children "on-rails" for 6 hours a day and they'll come out the other side with a strong education and high test scores. This is bolstered by yet more poor reasoning that any failures to reach that metric must surely be the fault of the workers in the factory. Workers who don't even get paid a livable wage but yet have to front the cash for tools just to do the job.

Absent from your comment is the reality of just how much a shit job it is to be a teacher under normal circumstances, with the pandemic being unequivocally abnormal. Teachers are still stuck in this whirlwind trying to figure out how to teach in the post-pandemic ruins that's not just our education system, but our public sentiment that is bursting with shitty expectations.
Things actually worked quite well under the white government and black africans used to immigrate a fair bit from neighbouring countries as things worked better in SA. Now SA is becoming a bit more like the neighbours like Zimbabwe, for better or worse.
Honestly why not both? The length of these things only can be an issue when it comes to parking lots.

Interesting and disappointing that someone from Microsoft would convey that .NET Core is too slow and not portable enough :) VS Code is Microsoft's tool after all.
How interesting! That's a completely different way of looking at the Web; I don't think I've thought about it like that before. I view the Web as a kind of library where you can add books as well as borrow them.

When I read something online, I sort of feel that it becomes a part of me as it informs me and shapes my perspectives. I like to think that I could re-read it if I ever forgot the details; as a result, I've downloaded quite a few websites. Common facts don't really apply here for me, as they'll be accessible as long as encyclopaedias exist, but personal anecdotes and niche catalogues are worth their metaphorical weight in gold.

Additionally, I download things that I one day hope to read, but think that the website might disappear before that time comes (due to the author not renewing a domain name etc.)

Safety is why vehicles have gotten so big.

In a collision, all else being equal, you always want to be in the bigger car. Its literally grade 10 physics.

But we can have our cake and eat it too. Safer, environmentally sound vehicles and as big as we want them.... by simply lowering and enforcing speed limits.

The idea that trucks are dangerous and unnecessary is pretty prevalent on HN, and I can follow the physics argument but the same argument can apply to anything (a bicycle is more dangerous than a pedestrian)

Are there stats that show that these trucks cause a social problem worthy of regulation, or do we just not like the archetypical truck guy?

I've read countless, I started spending some time on the /r/nursing and /r/teachers subreddits during the pandemic to understand some of how it was affecting them and you learn quickly that parents often interfere in their children's learning, whether it be preventing punishments, doing their child's homework for them, not feeding them, threatening school districts with lawsuits such that school principals and administration force teachers to acquiesce to whatever the student's parents want, getting mad if the teacher is being a better parent to the student than the parent themself etc.

NetSuite uses the “child” table model though mostly normalized.

transactionline for the “human” details

transactionaccounting for the GL.

Either of these tables can be joined on the transaction.id field and the sequence numbers of both correspond to each other.

But like I said, normalized pretty much to 3rd normal form. You have to join to get the “description”. There is duplication in the quantity and rate are in transactionline and the extended amount is in transactionaccountingline.

There is a good reason behind breaking the normalization rules, separation of functions. Transactionline is for printing invoices, orders etc and transactionaccountingline is for querying the ledger.

Not saying this is the best example but it is from a successful in its own segment ERP system.

Most of the belly-aching about NCLB that you'll hear comes from relatively affluent people (who are disproportionately represented on this site, since it's a forum for people in a relatively high-paying field), because it required school districts to focus disproportionately on getting closer to average outcomes for the worst performing students, rather than letting the best performing students excel even further.

For example, if your school district had 2 high schools, one that was extremely high achieving to the point that anything short of a perfect score on standardized test was considered a moral failing, and the other that was struggling to keep the school average at the state/national average, the school district, in order to get more funding from the fed, would need to spend as much as possible on the lower achieving school. Secondary things, like a new pool, or new buildings, or in some cases basic renovations would be denied to the higher achieving school, because they still had a far way to fall before they represented a failure of the school district.
