> That was Disney's problem this year. A lot of content was super expensive

The streaming model requires a conveyor belt of content to work. And movies are expensive to produce, consume a lot of bandwidth, and not really replayable. The constraints tend to give bad content. It’s the whole cheap, fast, and good triangle.
No it's fine! They'll just continue to merge with shitty media companies until the previously good HBO name is entirely worthless and the debt is some other overpaid executive's problem!
Tattoos are associated with Yakuza.
Is it too late? Gentoo has always been a niche within the already niche Linux community, but they seem to keep chugging along happily. Are they having some problems?
You probably don't have to pay tax to SK. For similar visas, for example Croatia, no tax is due. US persons would have to pay tax to the US.
As far as I can tell, I disagree with your point but have not missed it.

> Absolutely nothing is inherently owed to society. There is no obligation at all.

As a member of a social species of animal, why do you believe this to be true?

> I can live my life in a cave if I choose.

Living in a cave is choosing to stop participating in society. If you’re not living in a cave, and if you’re participating in discussions on HN using a computing device, you have obligations.

> Yes, books that were purchased by my parents, who paid their taxes.

The value of those books is not primarily monetary. Those books have utility because they are transmitting the collective knowledge of our species; ancestors whose thoughts and discoveries are the basis of our lives today.

Many people never stop to consider or admit their dependence on this ancestral knowledge, or their own responsibilities as a beneficiary of it. Almost everything we come in contact with (unless you disconnect and go to that cave), comes with implied collective responsibilities.

Paying taxes is the minimum legally required level of contribution, but far from the only required activity to maintain a functioning society.

You might say that you don’t like this society or would prefer a different one, but the only solution to these problems is to involve yourself in the process, which is the only path to changing the status quo.
Hydrogen (or e-fuels) make it into plenty of plans. The important point is that it's for the last part of the journey to 100% RE, and makes little sense as long as natural gas is still being used. But for that last part, it's likely to be very useful.
> I'm FAST and buy what I want on sale through a single ecosystem.

What does that mean?
> in most of the major cities of the world nowadays

Uh I can think of quite a few where you would. Just on the top of my mind: Lisbon, Mexico City, Milano, Saigon,Bangalore, Madrid, I mean I can go on for quite a while. But sure, you’d struggle in Zurich, Monaco, London, Silicon Valley or Singapore, IE some of the most expensive places in the world.
Most companies die from slow starvation instead of murder.

IMO Mozilla is default dead and so is Firefox. With 500M of revenue, ~$7M going to CEO is >1% of revenue being sucked by CEO (not even net profit).

From a distant observer, Mitchell is a parasite.

The Chromium Hegemony is winning and Safari is barely alive.
I've been living in Mexico for 15 years now and I agree wholeheartedly with all your comment.

The Files app can connect to various cloud services / local servers by adding locations.

For example, you can add a location for a folder shared via SMB from your Windows based computer.

It's not Elixir, but I'm working through Jeremy Koppel's "Advanced Software Design Course". I've been coding for 22 years and it is definitely growing me.

Perhaps with todays prices on large lithium storage which I documented elsewhere in this thread at ~$500/kWh installed for a real project in the United States. Most analysts expect that price halves to $250/kWh or lower in the next decade which radically changes the economics.

There are thousands of companies working on battery advancements within the entire stack right now.

Raw material mining, refinement of materials, recycling, cell chemistry, longevity, density improvements, pack improvements, battery managament systems, thermal systems, safety, packaging, kW scale home batteries, GW scale utility batteries, cars, trucks, buses, planes, trains, automobiles, ships. The amount of capital deployed is in the trillions of dollars.
I feel like you’re trying to gaslight me into thinking this term is from TikTok.
It still applies. Comparisons of current society to Weimar Germany are completely misplaced, and especially on the question of antisemitism. Attempts to do so are simply capitalizing on the fear of the moment.
"Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective" is a great introductory systems textbook on everything going on in a computer.

For more advanced C/C++ developers I can recommend "The Linux Programming Interface" - (https://man7.org/tlpi/). It is a GREAT compendium for writing code against the POSIX API. I have a (legal) copy of this book on all the computers I have access to.

"The Database Redbook" - (http://www.redbook.io) is a valuable source on database implementations.

"Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools" (Dragon Book) is a great starting point. The book is out of print and but I think it should still hold up for most basic use-cases.
When I joined FAANG #1, JetBrains wasn't an option, and all of our work had to be done on remote servers, with code bases big enough that indexing took on the order of hours. Meanwhile there have been internal communities at all of my companies for Vim and Emacs to make them work in these environments, write plugins for various company services, etc. None of the editors or IDEs we are talking about struggle with any of the common tasks you mentioned, what something like Vim allows is extensibility and portability, and communities that support it no matter where you need to use it.

I do believe that for some use cases, like a person who unfortunately only works with Java or Android, JetBrains makes sense and is probably your only option. I believe outside of those environments, JetBrains offers no tangible benefits and plenty of downsides - cost, resource consumption, can't be run in a terminal, not easy to work with remote machines.

By the way, vim already has built in support for cscope, ctags, autocomplete, terminal windows, gdb debugging, if you work on a C-like project, it already is an IDE. With one plugin (Ale) which takes one line of config, you get an actual IDE that can auto-detect LSPs which offers refactoring, code actions, etc. that is the exact same you would get in an IDE. But for very large projects, I have found that CLion and Clangd both take far too long to index, and so having an editor that works without indexing is a huge plus.
Stop talking to your email server!

More seriously, it's called an "address" because people can "address" you with it. There's a natural overlap between at-ing somebody, and putting your name up so that people can at you. The @ sign helps clarify that is what this is, and it also differentiates it from the text. Have you got a simpler and more intuitive alternative?
This. I don't think that "coke" on its own can be trademarked because it's an actual common word (a form of coal). The trademark would have to be the word in combination with other aspects that make it distinctive. The color scheme, or font, or associated decorative elements, for instance.

"Coca-Cola", however, is distinctive on its own and is trademarkable as such.
The New Age of Virtualization
This thread of comments is yet another in an endless number on HN where somehow socialists and collectivists come out and to me the most disappointing part is that it’s evidence of deep failure in education systems that they can educate people well enough to be technically literate and engage on HN, but at the same time are fundamentally economically illiterate. It’s disturbing and frankly dangerous. Socialism is the most failed idea in human history yet it continues to persist and in my opinion it’s a bit like not teaching evolution in schools, omitting to educate about some fundamental nature of reality.
I'd like to see the numbers on that - Korea produces lots and lots of widgets.
Besides most courses being beginner-focussed, there are at least two other related problems:

- Most advanced courses sell themselves dishonestly as beginner-friendly even if they aren't after the first couple of lessons. On the free market everyone is after every single potential customer, no matter what.

- Everything is stretched out so much that information density is annoyingly low. Again free market pays per page and minute and not value.

You might have more luck looking at resources produced free from these constraints and the best place I know is university courses. Still, good ones are hard to come by, but I learned a ton at uni I'd never had learned outside.
Since you're against the basic crime of blocking roads, I'm curious how you feel about this https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/08/americas/demonstrators-killed... or the numerous other road blocking protests that were forcefully ended without resorting to murder.

I'm also curious to know your opinions on other armed protests that did not end in a firefight of the past going back to the 1950s (most prominent in the US during civil rights protests), the torching of police cars during hundreds of such protests, and generally how you feel about acts of civil disobedience.

Additionally, I'm curious about your opinions on extrajudicial punishment, government-corporate partnerships, and civil asset forfeiture.

I don't care what your political hobby horse is, how do you feel about a government leaning on a corporate entity to extrajudicially seize control of peoples assets for engaging in civil disobedience?
> But it's important to remember that no copyright at all would hurt small and medium creators immensely. Big corps could just pick things that are trending up, rip them off instantly and scale their ripoff much better thanks to their great workforce and marketing reach

The big assumption in this argument is that large corporations that depend on copyright would still exist, but it seems pretty clear that they would not. If copyright didn't exist, then there would be nothing for them to monetize. The first broadcast, distribution or performance of a work could recorded/copied and redistributed with no penalty, so large corporations are just as disadvantaged as small players. How do you see large corporations forming and perpetuating themselves in order to exploit these smaller players?
Yes, Docker can leverage Rosetta.
I haven't used Docker Desktop in a bit (b/c I end up doing my work in a VM on Azure since I work on Azure), but not too long ago there was an option to enable it in the settings panel, not sure if it's default or not these days.

Any Linux VM can use Rosetta[1] you just need to enable it when booting the vm.
This creates a shared directory in the vm that you need to mount and then register Rosetta with binfmt_misc (same way Docker uses qemu).

Sounds exactly like health insurance.
I (white guy) wouldn't say I was discriminated per se, but in a country that's probably 99.5% monoethnic you do end up feeling like a distinct outsider from time to time. I found that people were generally friendly and helpful, but I also studied Korean hard before I moved there and during my stay.

Businesses can arbitrarily reject you as there are (seemingly) no protections. I saw a (white) guy from Uzbekistan get rejected from a club for no reason other than his nationality.

Black people definitely experience racism in Korea. Not exactly like in the US obviously but it's a real phenomenon that people tend to dismiss.

“The cost of new nuclear is prohibitive for us to be investing in,” says Crane. Exelon considered building two new reactors in Texas in 2005, he says, when gas prices were $8/MMBtu and were projected to rise to $13/MMBtu. At that price, the project would have been viable with a CO2 tax of $25 per ton. “We’re sitting here trading 2019 gas at $2.90 per MMBtu,” he says; for new nuclear power to be competitive at that price, a CO2 tax “would be $300–$400.” Exelon currently is placing its bets instead on advances in energy storage and carbon sequestration technologies.
To be honest I give credit to consumers to puncture Disney's inflated ego and bring them down to earth. If a minimum threshold of folks kept hankering for Disney's content to keep them in good financial condition they'd remain arrogant as ever.
Great. Hope this is real. I'd be impressed if the real lawyers did this.

While I work at a company that, among other things, builds a navigation system (with a twist of doing load balancing on streets; called NUNAV Navigation), I'm not really an expert in this topic. From working with GIS and GPS quite a bit, I know though, that a lot of things, while they are working very well, are not as exact as they look (e.g. bad GPS signal, especially when driving with low speed, map matching, etc.)

Maybe someone else can comment in more detail.
Visual Basic 6 was quite limited, it was a programming language designed for doing applications.

Delphi, with its Object Pascal roots, was(is) a systems programming language that also happens to have a nice RAD tooling for GUI applications.

Put in another way, it didn't own anything to C++ in capabilities, and had VB like tooling.

VB had to wait for version 6 to support AOT compilation and being able to implement its own COM based controls without depending on C++, and even then it only supported a subset of COM features.

Meanwhile the GUI framework being used by C++ Builder is actually written in Delphi.
Article can be summarized as: by the time he moved to Munich he already didn't like Jews because he thought they were cheap and wouldn't pay a fair price for his paintings. That's unfortunately the only information available here.

There probably isn't any deep or interesting reason why Hitler hated Jews. Lots of people did back then, especially if they were socialist. It's much less famous, but Marx also hated them with a vengeance. He saw them as the personification of capitalism and believed that under communism they would be wiped out. From his essay "On the Jewish question":

"What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money [...] An organization of society which would abolish the preconditions for huckstering, and therefore the possibility of huckstering, would make the Jew impossible [...] Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man – and turns them into commodities [...] The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange [...] The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general."

This sort of language was nothing special in that era. The association of Judaism with money making and capitalism goes back thousands of years.

Hitler was directly inspired by Marx so it's perhaps not a surprise that he adopted similar views. Hitler said in 1934:

"National Socialism derives from each of the two camps the pure idea that characterizes it, national resolution from bourgeois tradition; vital, creative socialism from the teaching of Marxism."
Couldn't we say the same about any public subsidy for climate-friendly technology (or anything at all)? What makes Nuclear special, and worth singling out?
Personally, you're better off with separate joint accounts, your account, and their account, that you both have access to, at separate banking institutions. This gives you both a backup, and your own account to mostly manage yourself.

A very simple way to manage things would be to set a lower buffer limit you want to have on your checking account, and put anything after your monthly bills and your monthly allowance for yourself in savings.

Tangentially - One thing I've learned is that the first time you jointly file taxes, you should never change the order of your names on tax forms after that. It will cause boatloads of problems if you do.
You can't exceed transmit power with a directional antenna. The radio transmits at a given milliwatt. dBi and dBm are a different measurement you might be referring to.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with concentrating your transmit (send) and receive (listen) with a Yagi or Dish type antenna that covers 700mhz to 2.5ghz.
Oh they don’t want you to marry anyone, then you might stay. Also—on average—Koreans aren’t super cool with marrying foreigners. A close family friend was only able to marry an American on condition of them not having kids.
You don’t have to pay Apple to manage your files. You can manage them with a traditional file manager if you’d like akin to any other device.

If you want cloud storage, Apple provides free iCloud storage that will keep everything synced across your devices. There is an upper limit to the free tier space, at which you can purchase additional storage or move to a cloud platform of your choice.
I found a pretty fun set of rules: make a cycle of -0.4 between the colours (eg G->R, R->Y, Y->B, B->G in 3d or G->R, R->O, O->C, C->G in 2d) and set the other factors to 0.1.

Oh it's so much worse than opening speed. Paramount+ is straight unusable on every platform I tried, the Android reviews show I'm not the only one. It crashes, fails to load, kicks your dog, you name it. Can't be used.

Peacock has no way to remember I want to see my local news channel live. I have to scroll the entire list of all of the channels across the nation and find mine. It's somewhere near the bottom.

Peacock also has the problem if I pause and want to resume somewhere in the last 15 minutes of a show it'll assume I've finished it and restart. Not great when you just wanted to watch the conclusion after getting off of the treadmill. Also not great when combined with the impossible to use scrubbers, it moves far too fast to be accurate. If you get within 5 minutes of what you were aiming for, it's best to just rewatch that 5 minutes again. You can't improve on it.

I could go on for a while about these platforms, they're hot garbage.
It turns out that at a certain point, features start requiring integration in the system. Let's take a hypothetical SaaS that provides workflow management for a domain. Let's say there are about 125 engineers. Workflow can't be 60 engineers, so it's really 12 teams, given teams of 5. One takes the notifications engine and builds emails and slack notifications. They have an API for other teams, but this feature requires a new feature from the notifications system. That's a relatively light touchpoint, but two teams are involved in a dependent relationship.

Now let's say there's a partner integration team. This team provides an external API to ease integration with tools such as Salesforce. This team has a full backlog, and it's a complicated subsystem that doesn't do well as common code. (External APIs also require governance.) So, this feature requires work from the external API. To call this feature finished, this team needs to be able to input and export to other systems, but is not the primary feature of the application. So, you have a second team involved.

Third, you have an internal support team that handles tech support and setup for clients. This team now has work to do to onboard clients.

And there's the team that does the work in the workflow.

As such, this org could need four teams to get a feature done. Now, you could say that such a team could use common code ownership to get things done, but then you have 125 engineers that have to understand a series of systems and not step on each other, systems that they only work in occasionally and change by the time they need to get in again.

I've worked in a common code startup and it works... up to a point. It is definitely slower to have to onboard continuously in other code areas in which you don't have domain experience, even if the documentation is spectacular (and it better be!)
Daily reminders that apple only allows 2 concurrent virtualised instances of macOS to run on their hardware.
I don't disagree, but my anecdotal experience from working with peers is that the overwhelming majority of IntelliJ users never learn a small fraction of the keyboard shortcuts and advanced tooling.

I really do believe that for most people, IntelliJ is basically a VSCode that: (1) has a better debugger and some more polish around Maven/Gradle integration, and (2) came out 10+ years sooner.

But ~10 years ago, everyone I knew was flocking over because IntelliJ felt less slow and bloated than Eclipse, and its dark mode UI was more attractive in comparison. Then it became the more-or-less official way to develop Android apps (back when Android's U.S. market share was a lot higher), and that was all she wrote.

Append-only struxtures are not efficient enough for general use. You're paying a steep price for creating a snapshot of the data for every single operation.

I saw this when I was playing with Scala's immutable and mutable data structures - written by the same team - ages ago. The immutable structures were much slower for common operations.

The fastest databases tend to use undo logs to re-construct snapshots when they are needed.
