For me, the closest modern successors to the Borland suite are Visual Studio (not VSCode) and the Jetbrains IDEs. The feel like they're the only one with a holistic, batteries included, design that actually focuses on debuggability.

I actually feel that the terminal-based focus of modern FAANG-style development actually hindered proper tool development, but I was never able to explain it to anyone that hasn't used Borland C++ or Borland Pascal in the past, except maybe to game developers on Visual Studio.
Everything aside (i mostly agree), your take on Ukraine is rather naive.

It is clear that Putin wanted to occupy Ukraine - the whole lot of it - in some way and anex parts of it. Destroyed convoys with riot gear were biggest tell. The anexation was done according to plan even on lands not controled by ru.

There was no room for negotiations there. There is not much room in negotiations with russian anyway. They will take your wallet and then negotiate how much they should give back if you apologize for calling them thieves.

Nobody who was serious about geopolitics entertained idea of Ukraine joining nato or eu. Finland didn't join nato as to not provoke russian (but russian had forced their hand and they joined now for obvious reasons).

Not just C++. I used to use it for Java development and had the same experiences as the GP too.

I’m sure it’s really good these days. But I’ve moved on now and my current workflow works for me, so I don’t see the point in changing it until I run into issues again.
Good luck polishing things up! I had a normal (non goatse'd) session the first try. It really recaptured the early internet vibe for me... loving your idea.
> harden the populace is education

I agree. But it is not the only requirement. Restoring control of
technologies to the people is vital too. Intellectual self-defence
requires a sceptical stance, but it also requires capability (other
than simply switching off and opting out)

Five giant websites plus endpoint computing that is neither owned nor
controlled by passive "consumers" is a grave step in the wrong
direction.

In the "West" we've allowed this for reasons of private profit and
government control, and I think in doing so we've created the very
conditions for malign influence.
Of course there's a cost to this. Liberal democracy is intensely annoying and always expands to embrace whatever kind of diversity is too much diversity.

That's how it can be a target for fascist uprisings: people want to pretend they're open to all things and have all freedoms as long as there are no consequences. In reality, there's one cost to restriction and another cost to multiculturalism and diversity.

If you look at it in a-life terms you see the autocracies as plateaus. Stuff gets locked down, and there's no progress. But progress hurts. Liberal democracies and their tolerance of diversity are about coping with all the unaligned interests of starkly different people, knowing that combining those people is what gets you startling progress. It can almost be reduced to simple mechanical terms, like recombination in a genetic soup.

It's always possible to crush inconvenient genes and have everyone the same (to a point, and if you're determined enough). And then, you don't have those genes anymore, and your future's narrowed.

i don’t believe that is fully correct. The general policy here is that you cannot link to something that is paywalled unless that site plays the game of allowing crawlers but not actual human eyeballs. In the latter case the link is allowable because there are ways around it that the site owners allow.
At least in the UK, appliances have to ship with a moulded plug, manufacturers aren't allowed to supply anything else. Personally I've never had one fail but I have had traditional screw together plugs fall apart.

Great memories. Was our favorite game on my Macintosh 128K. My nephew brought my Mac back to Italy with him just so he could continue playing. I don't think I've played it on any other computer since.
> The matrix is indeed really strong in the West

Which is a very stupid "strategic" move by the powers that be in the West, because if you control and strongly influence the discourse in the direction that you want that means that you impede the system the opportunity to self-correct. And that opportunity to self-correct in the past was one of the main advantages the West had, an advantage greatly facilitated by a reasonable open and free discourse.
> but it is also equally obvious then that if there was evidence linking race or gender

I dunno about "equally" obvious, but what people colloquially refer to as race is an asthetic parent category for a 1000 ethnic population groups, and what such experiments are actually measuring may be a lazy proxy for poverty.

Beeper is the user's choice. And Apple is preventing other companies from providing a more secure iMessage alternative, e.g. one that doesn't even parse messages from people not in the contact list, or doesn't even parse anything without a click, etc.

Apple has had so many zero-click exploits in iMessage, yet they insist that you have to use Lockdown mode to do anything about it, and then proceed to bundle Lockdown mode with lots of potentially unwanted behavior.

I don't think there's any way to claim that Apple is just doing whats in the customer's best security interest.

My wife is on the same boat for 2 years already… she is barely a body just waiting for a treatment. She is not as bad as other we know who can’t even leave the bed, but she has to stay home and had to stop working, studying, exercising, learning languages, reading books…

Only some very limited home activities, and short slow walks are possible.

She improved compared to the first 6 months but since then the average is stable. With very bad and a bit better days sometimes. Tried a lot of medicines and supplements with some effect but little.

Garry Kasparov:

>'Putin isn't Hitler!' 'Trump isn't Hitler!' Wow, congratulations! You
have failed the most basic lesson of learning from history in order
not to repeat it!

>I wrote about this fallacy extensively in Winter is Coming and
elsewhere, but am happy to recap it here. Of course Putin isn't
Hitler, and Donald Trump isn't even Putin—no matter how much he would
like to be. The point is that no one is making comparisons to the
monster Adolf Hitler became in the 1940s. But in the 20s, even for
most of the 30s, Hitler wasn't Hitler either! There could be no more
important lesson to understand than how a race-baiting demagogue came
to power in an educated and liberal country like Germany and how he
transformed that nation into a fascist death machine capable of World

Java never got that slow, but it used to tax the system a lot in the earlier days, yes.

I developed Java with Eclipse, but the project I did was not that big when Eclipse was not its prime, and it was in its prime when I was experienced enough to be able to "floor it" in terms of features and project complexity.

Now it's just a blip on the memory usage graph when working with big projects, and way way more efficient than the Electron apps which supposed to do 20% of what Eclipse can do.
This entire article is based on a self report study of 5,000 people. Self report studies are usually unreliable and never tell a clear story.

In this case, literally all the study can show is that wealthier respondents self-report having knowingly stolen from self checkout. Is this because they are the most likely to do it? Or are they more likely to tell the truth on a survey, maybe if they feel less insecure in their daily life? We don't know if they actually stole, is it possible that the numbers are inflated when the wealthy respondents for some reason say they had stolen when they hadn't?

Self report studies have a use and can be helpful to find potential correlations worth properly studying, but taking a self report study and blowing it up into an article like this is irresponsible journalism in my opinion.

Vim and emacs do already have plugins for LSP. Probably DAP too. But like everything CLI, it might take a bit of initial set up to get it right.
We were taught that in school. I remember it well because we were given a short piece of cable and plug to do it ourselves. Sadly the idiot next to me plugged his in and switched it on whilst the other end of the cable was shorted out.

Turns out it's much easier to fix the plug than fix people.

France has a fleet of 56 reactors, about 14 of which are scheduled to be decommissioned in the 2030s or before. They currently plan to build 6 more reactors and “possibly” another 8 by 2050, which seems more like maintenance than expansion. By contrast, France constructed all of its current 56 reactors over a 15-year period, and the current plans do not look remotely comparable to that effort.

Japan generated 30% of its electricity from nuclear before 2011, and is now aspirationally hoping to generate 20% by 2030 when considering decommissioned reactors and restarts.

Poland has two planned reactors with construction targeted to begin in 2026 and a couple of additional proposed reactors. There are some plans to deploy SMRs in Poland, but the reactors aren’t even in the design stage yet and I can’t determine how many GW these small reactors will actually produce in total. I also can’t figure out where Rolls Royce is in the product cycle, except that they’re still somewhere in the design stage. Any deployments in Ukraine seem likely to be decades out.

The Hermes molten salt reactor looks pretty great, but it won’t generate electricity and the Hermes 2 project will also be a 28MW test reactor. I’m
very bullish on this sort of research, including the SMR stuff, since — unlike the 1970s-era plants being built, it at least has the potential to take off. But it’s all very much at the research and design stage: actual commercial production may be decades out. Who knows where battery storage tech will be in two decades.

The "review" is copy/pasted straight from an LLM! Only on closer inspection, I realised the previous 3 paragraphs were between " characters!
The example from the article doesn't show that LLM is trained on copyrighted data - it's just Bing fetching the source article, providing it to GPT, and GPT rephrasing the article. An agent trained on entirely copyright-free data would provide exactly the same output.

Polymorphism is not at all specific to OOP, and there are in fact different kinds of polymorphism; "generics" are pervasive in pure FP languages such as Haskell or imperative/functional languages like Rust, and are an instance of parametric polymorphism. Ad-hoc polymorphism, or "operator overloading," can also be seen in both languages as the "Eq" typeclass/trait and the equality operator `==`. It's subtype polymorphism and deeply nested inheritance structures that are maybe particular to OOP.

It's also worth making a distinction between an abstract data type - a "thing" and some set of operations defined over it - and a data structure - a particular in-memory construction and set of procedures defined over it, often used to realize an abstract data type. An example being a dictionary ADT - supporting get, set, delete, etc. being realizable through different data structures; for example, a linked "association list" of (key, value) pairs vs. a hash table - with each having different performance characteristics, despite possessing the same properties as the ADT they implement.
Netbeans was my absolute favorite IDE for Java development. After its last release, I honestly felt lost.

I’ve gotten back up to speed via IntelliJ but it still doesn’t feel as effortless as it did in Netbeans. And way less care and feeding than Eclipse.

Sorry, there’s a lot of “feels” in this post but for me, Netbeans was the one Java IDE that I didn’t have to fight with.

Construction time is misleading. It takes a few days to a couple of weeks to build a wind turbine, but at least in Germany a wind turbine construction project takes more than five years.

So what better estimate would you suggest? What nuclear power plants where built in the last decade or so, for how much do they sell their power? How big will their decomissioning costs be per MWh?
Emacs actually supports drop-down menus in text mode, with a different key shortcut: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Me...

Those Borland IDEs, a show of hands for Turbo Basic as well, were the main reason why I never liked the UNIX development experience, until a professor showed us XEmacs, at the time much more feature rich than Emacs, and vi was still vi, not vim.

Thankfully with KDevelop, Smalltalk, and when Java started to make IDEs more common on UNIX, I no longer needed XEmacs.

Ironically for all IDE-haters, even James Gosling, inventor of XEmacs, says people are missing out not using IDEs, he surely moved on from Emacs ecosystem.
Strangely, it's Adam Curtis who put together the pieces for me on the usefulness of chaos politics to Putin and Russia.

I think some of these things can be viewed in two lights, however they're framed. On the one hand it can be framed as 'OMG drama you must know about this terrible thing that will destroy you personally!', and on the other hand it can be 'this is clearly part of how humans work, take that into account'.
This is not how copyright works though. The verbatim quoting of articles is because when people brought up these questions initially the argument was that the NN doesn't really contain the training data or really just in an abstract, condensed way that does not constitute copying of the content.

This demonstrates that no, the NN actually does contain the full articles, copied into the NN. Do you think any normal person would get away with copying MS windows by e.g. zipping it together with some other OS on the same medium. Why should we let OpenAI get away with this?
I think this is an underappreciated reason. Stores have shifted their labor onto the consumers, which ostensibly keeps their costs down, but since it's happening at a time costs are rising, nobody's going to notice if the costs are really rising more slowly.

If you're wealthy, it feels a bit like a subsidy of other people's groceries. You do the work so everyone can have low prices (or at least prices that rise slower), but if you don't care about lower prices, it's an imposition.

Or at least all that would be true were it not for the fact that there are other options to pay money for time. At my grocery store, the fee for having them do the shopping and scanning for you and bring it out to your car is a whopping $3. I can have someone bring it all the way to the front door of my house for a $10 fee and a $5 tip.

It's a long way from required that I waste my time at the self-checkout.
VSCode is really a text editor-in-IDE-clothing. Also, it's an Electron app and those are notoriously resource heavy.

~20 years ago I became an early IntelliJ user. From version 3 maybe? It's hard to recall. I've never looked back.

But I did try Eclipse and... I never got the appeal. For one, the whole "perspectives" thing never gelled with me. I don't want my UI completely changing because now I'm debugging. This is really part of a larger discussion about modal editors (eg vim vs emacs). A lot of people, myself included, do not like modal editors.

But the big issue for Eclipse always was plugins. The term "plugin hell" has been associated with Eclipse for as long as I can recall. Even back in the Subversion days I seem to recall there were 2 major plugins (Subclipse? and another?) that did this and neither was "complete" or fully working.

To me, IntelliJ was just substantially better from day one and I never had to mess around with plugins. I don't like debugging and maintaining my editor, which is a big reason why I never got big into vim or eclipse. I feel like some people enjoy this tinkering and completely underestimate how much time they spend on this.
I remember having a Compaq computer in the 90s (some 486-based all-in-one with a CD drive), and had The Legend Returns. I kinda grew into liking it, but I'm not sure where the disc ended up. I found an ISO of Mad Monks Revenge (an expansion/re-release) on an abandonware site 15+ years ago. Works great on my retro PC.
I don't recall seeing this policy on HN guidelines.
