I don’t disagree but in this day and age, this kind of uninspired management is all most corporations care for.

The days that, say, a company whose main bread and butter is engineering is seeking out an engineer to lead their company are well and well and true behind us.

Nowadays most companies are looking for a “number go up” guy.
OT: My daughter (40 next month, just celebrated 10th wedding anniversary) met her husband on JDate in 2008. One day I reminded her that in the late 1990s when she was in high school, she asked me if I was doing online dating (in fact I was: Yahoo Personals, though I never met anyone of interest). She told me NOT to sign up for it because "It's for losers." Nevertheless, I persisted in stealth mode.
There is some evidence it interferes with REM sleep and stops you from dreaming. I've often wondered if the folks who it helps with sleeping have disturbing dreams.

You might consider taking occasional breaks. Vivid dreams are reported when folks quit.
Here's an example:

Are you saying this is not legally enforceable?

My understanding is there’s no bandwidth pricing.

User agency is a good way to think about this but like any real, useful metric, it's difficult to measure real impact, and this leaves you needing a proxy.

The other problem is that David Foster Wallace said over a decade ago:

“As VR pornography becomes a reality, we will have to develop some real machinery inside our guts to turn off pure unalloyed pleasure,”

the implication for dating apps in particular, but I fear this extends more generally, is that a major part of dating, physical interaction, has been replaced with mediated experience for a significant part of the population.

The question that arises is whether a better alternative exists in the real world absent technology?
It's not as good as I would like it to be.
The History of Coca-Cola [video]
„Datenschutz“ (data protection) is an extremely popular excuse for any failing digital project, in reality, it’s probably a mix between complete incompetence (see digital drivers license), a lack of funds (look at smaller cities/towns) and and lack of capable employees with It backgrounds.

Looking at the situation here it’s really damming that Germany not only has essentially no digital processes implemented, the people in charge seem to are even lacking something as fundamental as a coherent vision how it should work at some point. That the current coalition also decided to essentially cut funds for digitalization projects isn’t making the issue any better
I don't agree with bashing Germany, but Poland was first with tanks, delivering over 300 of them starting from April 2022.
No, it will make companies switch to Godot (where they have to pay nothing, ever) or Unreal (where they pay 5% for payments above a $1M threshold).

For many developers it is now cheaper to switch the engine than to pay for Unity.
Their elections were democratic (if not, please provide some evidence).

And secondly, they were well on their way to keep improving and follow the path of the other ex-soviet states that are now part of the EU.

Whatever this is and how long it exist, sounds like it will provide a valuable data for predicting customer behavior. Three letter agencies may also benefit from this - in theory.
Hah - you got me for a second! But of course, from the doc:

> Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions
or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities,
observable market transactions and market information might not be
available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is
the same—to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset
or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the
measurement date under current market conditions (ie an exit price at the
measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the
asset or owes the liability).
No it is not, as most people care about Delphi support on Lazarus, not the other way around.

Likewise, it is misleading not to consider moving to the actual, maintained Gtk version, migration.

Whatever how one feels about Gtk development process, supporting the actual version is quite relevant for most people.
Dynamic Swarm Cluster Identification
I agree that the democracy within US is currently in crisis. Not just in the US, mind you – several countries in Europe, but also India, Israel, Turkey, what I've read described as the "putsch belt" in Central Africa, ...

Hopefully, these crises will eventually resolve themselves, but there is no guarantee of that. If anything, the climate and energy crises, as well as the war in Ukraine, are going to make things harder on democracies.

That being said, Europe has never stopped considering itself as a world power. Until now, it aimed mostly for soft power (for a definition of soft power that included having standing armies in a number of African countries). Shifting from soft power to military power is very dangerous, because this has a strong potential to escalate into actual armed conflict. With Russia, of course, but also possibly with Turkey, or China, or the US (in case authoritarianism wins on either side of the Atlantic), ...

As much as possible, I'd prefer soft power. It's not as innocent as it sounds, but it makes fewer victims.
I don't remember the EU or America assassinating Gaddafi, only that he was killed by his own people Mussolini-style.

One system I worked with that was more heavily loaded than the usual intranet CRUD was an SMS lottery run by a radio station. They had "bonus rounds" that lasted a few minutes. When the host said "now send!" we were receiving a huge amount of data at the same time. However, it worked for years on Postgres 7.4 and regular hard drives :)
There are win win solutions to that conflict which makes it solvable.
That does provide additional insights from OP's article. Thanks for sharing.
I'll probably purchase the data :soon:... honestly. I no longer work for that company (after spending well over 5 years there) and I've been thinking about doing something like this again.

Ask HN: Gitlab or Gitea for self-hosting Git?
Use case needs:

- internal, small company (<10 "devs" of any kind) development source control

- as lightweight as possible (but no lighter)

- support for "common" git clients (vscode, cli, atom, etc)

If it matters, most of the development work that will be going on is related to config file management, xml documents, scripts, etc - for the foreseeable future, we have no need for integrations into automated build systems

With those needs/conditions in mind, would you pick Gitea, Gitlab, or something else ... and why?
super cool! what model are you using for this?

> It's about time! In my opinion Europe was a bit asleep about the realities of the world.

That's an understatement. Imagine if the US hadn't helped at all. Would Europe even be up to the challenge? Europe really needs to get its act together and be less dependent on the US.

For accuracy's sake (i can't find the Atlantic article talking about it, and i'm not bored enough to spend my day going through Wikileaks, so right now the source is trustmebro, i hope that someone have the documents/article in favorite), thanks to Hilary's leaked emails, we know that Obama's administration wasn't keen on going in Libya, and only Sarkozy(France) and Cameron(UK) insistence on attacking decided the US to support the invasion (and it was mostly logistical support).

Again thanks to Hillary's emails, we can suspect that the CIA had a hand in eliminating the new candidate that france wanted to support (we had contact with both Kaddafi's son and the leader of a rebel group, both died), but i wouldn't put that war, then civil war, on US. Also, while France supported eliminating Kaddafi here, they supported the dictator in Tunisia with police forces and weapons (that are marked as non-lethal, but since we haven't found many nonlethal weapons after the revolution, either there was a kickback, or a lot were stolen/lost, or a part of what was sent were lethal weapons).

And for Syria it's the same, Obama's administration wasn't really focused on that part of the middle east, and Hollande (France) forced their hand.

Truly, i cannot believe France's reputation in Africa is that low. I wonder why.
Tests effectively freeze requirements; you should test those things which should be preserved throughout any changes, and not test those things which should be open to change. In this case, it seems that is no real requirements for any of these 9 steps - perhaps the implementer could figure out how to do the same outcome by skipping a step or merging two steps, and the existence of unit tests for these 9 functions somehow encodes the idea that these 9 functions each are inherently needed, which is not necessarily true.

I used to do a box like this. The "temporal ordering" helped narrow search. But I found that finding things in it was still so difficult, that it wasn't worthwhile every time it'd be useful. There was also trying to find one document, and having to do a second thorough pass when I didn't find it in the first pass, which could take over an hour of misery.

Today, I routinely download and save PDF/OFX/QFX for every financial and insurance statement, as they become available. The few important paper documents I receive, go into a "to-scan" pile, which I try to clear out every few months.

(I really need to set up a scanning appliance/station that takes only seconds to use. I only need a to-scan pile because it currently takes about 15 minutes to set up for scanning and put things away after.)
agree. From my experience I’ve also noticed that agencies usually have a shelf life of 10-15 years max. At the start they are the young fashionable agency doing great work. At some point due to a combination of great employees leaving for bigger jobs and the company getting bogged down with stable but boring long term clients, the company dies.

Sometimes they end up cashing out and retiring. Most often they go bankrupt or get bought out by a consultancy looking to brand themselves as fresh.

It’s fun working in ad agencies on the uphill. You’ll be able to do great work and learn how to ruthlessly prioritize quality output. On the downhill it can really corner you with little career growth and little pay.
A few folks have talked about digitizing paper documents, so one of my favorite tricks for iPhone havers:

iPhones have very nice scanning tools built in, but it’s buried in the Notes app. Create a new note, click the camera icon, then “scan documents” and it will create a very nice, usually well cropped and OCRd scan that’s saved as a PDF you can then export elsewhere. Wish it was a standalone app because it works so well, and this is from someone who helps digitize and preserve paper documents for a living.
> Unreal has licenses which allow you to use one version of their engine FOREVER and they cannot revoke that license. So the author didn't fully research this. It is true that for NEWER version Epic can change this.

If I understand correctly, Unity had that too. And then they changed it anyway.

I don't know the details, but apparently Unity maintained their license in a git repository for the explicit purpose that everybody could easily track changes to their license. Just before the license changes, they removed that repository, and later put it up again, but without the clause that you could always use an old version forever without new restrictions applying to you.
Ask yourself how they will know if and how much you get paid.

I'm not downloading their stuff just to find out, but it seems like a safe bet that the license agreement grants them the right to audit you, and requires you to provide any documentation (like bank and tax statements) they deem necessary to do so.

In order to know whom to audit, they are probably scanning app stores and software sites for apps made with Delphi. Personally identifiable telemetry and/or developer IDs embedded in each executable also wouldn't surprise me.
How China Demands Tech Firms Reveal Hackable Flaws in Their Products
As far as I understand, the US has a strong problem with stockpiles.

They can send more material to Ukraine, but they want to have enough to also sustain a war in Taiwan. And it's unclear (at least to me) what the Chinese military doctrine would entail, since China has been mostly at peace since the truce with India. If a war for/around Taiwan ends up being the same kind of high-intensity conflict as the war in Ukraine, it has the potential to engulf the yearly US production of ammo in a few weeks.
With $1 paid to the developer the player only needs to (re)install the game 6 times on their computer to cost the developer more than they earned.

This pricing is per install, not per player. Installations are an unrestricted functionality which can be abused. If you care about quality games: this pricing causes the opposite.
I use the same system! Never thought of it in those terms though. TIL it's essentially an analog write-only data lake.
I already see there is no point in continue this conversation.

I notice your standards for US/EU intervention are very very high and basically nobody should ever being killed.

Why don't you apply the same reasoning to Gaddafi's regime and Syria/Russia/Al-Qaeda? You seem to have every problem existing in the Universe when the evil West does something ( and also a problem when it doesn't, also a problem that the West exists I suspect ), yet not a peep when these regimes torture and kill people by the thousands, or are you going to tell me that's just a fantasy? Or when they do it it's justify because it's the West's fault too, so those poor victims have no other choice than to kill everyone who doesn't agree with them?

Btw, I'm not even "defending" the US/EU track record in Libya. I think they did a really bad half-assed job, but I also recognize the context of it all.

Anyway, I've had it.

I was this dev early in my career. A sharp overreaction to a giant ball of mud architecture with no tests and minimal consistency. I read all those books looking for some better way and inflicted all those rules on people.

I don't regret the learning, but I do regret being dogmatic. It was interesting that no one around me knew better either way, or felt they could provide reasonable mentorship, so we went too far with it. These days I write the pizza function on the left, and use comments sparingly where they add context and reasoning.
I hope that you understand that bombing Lybia, supplying rebels with weapons and then making them kill Gaddafi is a direct opposite of a cease fire?

Or do you believe that a cease fire is when the other side ceases firing so you can get a good shot yourself?

The custom C++ extensions argument is a very bad lame excuse, it isn't as if WinRT was ever going to be cross platform, or not every single C and C++ compiler used in production (not toy compilers) doesn't have their own set of extensions anyway.

I also don't consider anything related to WinUI/UWP trustworthy for production development, and I used to advocate for it.

Stuff like how .NET Native, C++/CX => C++/WinRT transition, UWP => WinUI were managed, is how they lost most of us that really liked WinRT.
Plus some psychology.

An average user with an adblock gets hundreds, maybe even thousands of ads every day, for new cars, clutch replacements, diapers, washing detergent, shadow raid vpn, local political party, mcdowells, kentucky fried pizza, sex toys, 1:9 baluns, cisco console cables... and they don't even notice most of them.

And then something happens, your washing machine fails, you talk about it, open google, get ads for tampax, ignore them, find service, fix it and forget about everything. Then you watch stranger things, google the reviews, get an ad for yard fences, ignore that and forget about that too. Then you talk with your wife how you're out of detergent, turn on youtube and get a detergent ad... "wait, we were just talking about that? how did they know?! microphones, spying, conspiracy!".
Europe has 1, 2 or 3* of the UN permanent security council seats; but it's not yet a country in its own right.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that the permanent seats are stupid and shouldn't be so: China and the USA currently still make sense, but Russia shouldn't have taken over the USSR seat when the USSR ceased to exist; likewise neither the UK nor France can really justify that position since approximately the Suez crisis, and the vacuums they left behind with the end of Empire means nobody's really representing Africa, the Middle East, nor the Indian subcontinent at that level.

I think South America is also somewhat unenthusiastic about being considered the USA's back yard in this context.

* depending on if this is shorthand for "the EU" like the article (1, France), "western Europe" (2, +UK), or "continental" (3, +Russia).
Now apply that reasoning to politics.

> I would be very mad at the lawyer that drafted said contract.

It actually sounds like the standard contract DC use with "author-owned" material at least since Watchmen (and possibly before): creators maintain ownership of the IP, but publication/distribution rights of certain amounts of material are granted exclusively to DC - as long as such material is made available for sale.

This is famously how they locked away Watchmen: they kept reprinting the original run in paperbacks every year, so that the publication clause would never expire and Moore/Gibbons would never be able to take it elsewhere (and never be able to claim full royalties rather than a determined, reduced rate). I think there were lawsuits at some point, but the outcome was just a little more money for authors.

Willingham seems to have decided to take the nuclear option instead, by releasing the IP in the public domain. This means the already-published material will remain the preserve of DC, but anyone is supposedly free to write and publish new stories with the same characters. As others stated, it's unlikely to happen on a large scale, because of the chilling effect of potentially having to go against DC/Warner in court; but it should ensure fanfic and other creative expressions can flourish.
