I understand, but in that case you've got to trust those people because they know first hand. Just because the article quotes them doesn't mean it's saying that. :) Haha! :)
I have problems with both. Trusting Visual Studio to build everything means you don't have any idea how to build anything without it. Once you get to C, for some reason you're now writing a makefile to tell the compiler how to feed files to the linker and wrangling with getting it working cross-platform. Or you throw CMake at the problem, but that requires some background knowledge about the ecosystem.

Compared to `cargo build` or `go build`, the GUI-first nature of .net and the build-your-own-toolchain approach of C feel like they're extreme examples of different ends of the spectrum.
By and large, the DOE isn’t doing this research. The federal workforce primarily consists of program managers who oversee how the money is doled out, but is largely hands off on the technical aspects. DOE is the biggest non defense R&D funder in the US, and they tend to cast a wide net rather than go all in on a few select technologies.

The money goes to fund research at academic institutions and national labs, as well as tech transfer programs to private industry (think SBIR/STTR). $75M can fund a surprising amount of TRL 1-4 work needed to get a functional prototype working.

It is high because most people don't want to pay for a share of news.

They'd rather watch TV, and not even the best TV. If you want the best, you need to pay for Max and Disney and Apple and Amazon and the rest.

Doesn't this apply to many OSS contributors? people with skills and free time?
I would be happy with that result. Targeting something that's directly used by sshd means a much smaller attack surface. It's much harder for the attackers.

The danger with supply-chain attacks is that it could come from practically anywhere. Attackers can choose to target an overworked maintainer in a third-party library, and it's much easier for them than going after OpenSSH itself.

About the OpenSSH maintainers, they're known for being the paranoid amongst the paranoid. No one's infallible, but if attackers are forced to go directly after them instead of bullying smaller libraries, I'll have a reason to feel safer about the reduced attack surface :)
Yeah... some services offer a couple of articles per month and that would be nice though... there is again a way to circumvent it. I'd sign up for a free account with like 1-3 articles views per month because literally I don't read more in majority of the sites (apart from links on HN or reddit)... I do pay sub for the sites I visit often (at least 1-3 times a week)...
C++ and Python. Probably Rust too at some point in the future, but while I love using it my own time I wouldn't recommend its use in my working environment yet.

This is not a universal thing. I wouldn't recommend these languages for every problem and there are lots of places where C# and others definitely makes a lot more sense (including, arguably, the problem domain in my last role). It's just what I like to work with and what is best suited to the work that I do and enjoy.
hahaha, thanks-
This is a great way to prototype. I got a moderate distance along a road of a startup idea and we were going to start with a simple Google Sheets backend.
This is just an absurd statement, of course Python is easier to learn than either of those languages.

I've taught Haskell at an university and almost none of the students ever found the model of computation natural. I think we humans simply find following a series of steps easier than reasoning in an abstract mathematical sense.

That being said, I absolutely see the value of the latter, and consider it a good thing that functional concepts are gaining popularity in imperative languages.

So are you arguing in favor of C#/F# here? you believe it was more suited for all of these cases? I hope not.

But again, if it's neither, then this comment seems like a out-of-context straw man.

This is a really strong technical (i.e. non-political) argument for using it --- in my opinion.

Given a choice, I guess I tend to gravitate more toward technology than politics. Your mileage may vary.

There's some truth to this, but in my opinion especially the line about not respecting their citizens rights is a cop out. In China there are plenty of silly situations like building a highway around a house, because the person didn't want to sell. The difference is that they then just build around it, instead of incessantly discussing back and forth for decades on different approaches. Many western countries have in effect neutered their ability to move through a) lack of long-term accountability in public administration and b) a motivated minority having greater influence than the silent majority.

For politicians it is usually prudent to just kick controversial stuff down the road a couple of years for the next person to pick up. While something the Elizabeth line is greatly beneficial to London as a whole, it is annoying for neighbors, at least while being built, and for the majority EL isn't a deciding factor for election, for those neighbors it might be.

I misunderstand yet you provide no further information on my supposed misunderstanding... -_- thanks

From reading the docs:

All code for an HTMX app would be in a view - a .htmx file.

The .htmx file is then rendered as a templated view.

1) The files are .htmx ... they are not Typesafe.

2) I am forced to use a the webserver and formatting (files/dirs/paths) provided by primatejs.

3) The htmx files are not written in JSX - so typesafety is completely lost - it is the same as using any other templating engine at this point - as per their docs: "Client side templates to be used by the client-side-templates extension. Possible values: "handlebars", "mustache" and "nunjucks". Make sure you add "client-side-templates" to the extensions array option."

So you write the code using a template renderer, I have been there done that.

It works but you lose all type safety

The lack of type-safety was the whole reason I did this.

> the problem they are trying to solve is actually a "social good" outcome, and therefore directly tax the platforms and then redistribute the revenue to a fund created by government for news journalism themselves

This generalizes to copyright and patent IP in general; we want to encourage the creation of valuable art, inventions, and other cultural artifacts, but instead of rewarding their production in a more direct manner we instead imposed a huge restriction on the behavior of all people when interacting with media or technology in order to carve out a reward for the creator. And now this law once again restricts the freedom of others to use or share information in order to carve out a reward by way of exception to those restrictions. Creating rewards by removing freedoms from the majority of people is extremely backwards.

The bit caveat here is that most of the progress has been in a few areas along the coast. A majority of Chinese are still very poor and not really seeing the benefit of this technology.

Even the wealthiest provinces of China have lower GDP/capita than countries like Japan and Taiwan.

Can you point out anything specific where China is ahead in tech/IT? Are you sure your perspective is up to date?

From a European perspective there was a point where I was impressed how China was ahead in mobile payment. And I was impressed by Taiwans NFC payment tags. But today the QR code payment system seems quaint and outdated, and the mobile and NFC payment system we have seem as good if not better.

As a person who spent way too many hours self-hosting stuff as a (pre)teen and beyond, I have to say that Docker (or Podman, or anything equivalent) has been a godsend. I know it's not popular for many here in HN for whatever reason but once you wrap your head around it, it doesn't make any sense to go back to non-containerized workloads - it's just so convenient and nice.
Surprised they didn't mention portainer, a docker frontend. There are a lot of templates so that you can easily self host without understanding some of the ins and outs.

I also like using proxmox with Turnkey Linux's images. Helped me self host invoice ninja faster, or at least try it out.

I feel like between Portainer and Proxmox it can cut some of the pain of getting something off the ground.
Apparently you only need the popup if you are doing something nefarious. Otherwise it's not required! Yikes!
There's two kinds of technological progress: in depth and in breadth.

A country advances in depth by pouring lots of resources into very expensive facilities the likes of which might only exist a few times on Earth in order to make breakthroughs at the frontier of knowledge. I guess a "chip equipment R&D center" counts in this category.

A country advances in breadth by diffusing technology so widely it affects the life of basically everyone. When people talk about "welcoming another billion+ humans into living in an advanced industrial society" I think this is what they're imagining.

Advances in depth get easier with a larger population, because it increases the total resources available for megaprojects. Advances in breadth get harder because so many more people need to be covered.

I think comparisons that put China technologically ahead of Western industrialized nations are confusing depth for breadth.

For example, the International Federation of Robotics has a ranking of countries by ratio of robots to manufacturing workers https://ifr.org/ifr-press-releases/news/global-robotics-race... where China is in fifth place after Korea, Singapore, Germany and Japan. But then down below, they say that China has "a huge workforce of roughly 38 million people in the manufacturing industry" – in a country of more than a billion people, that number is clearly off by an order of magnitude. I guess they're excluding a lot of low-tech manufacturing that employs the vast majority of workers. So the comparison is only relevant for a small sliver of the population.
> So the best alternative to government regulations is to go back on hundreds of years of economic development and only purchase products you have personally vetted every part of the supply chain for

You don't have to go back hundreds of years or vet every part of the supply chain to recognize when a product is wrapped in plastic. Hell, you can effectively assume that all produce in a chain store was sprayed heavily with chemicals and that all meat approved by the USDA was sprayed with bleach and is full of stress hormones due to the way animals are processed.

All I have been arguing for the whole thread is for individual consumers to make decisions that can have a direct impact on what products are produced and what aren't. Are you arguing that consumers should just buy whatever is there and wait for the government to fix it from the top down?

> regulations also protect you from your neighbors’ use of dangerous products.

There's nothing wrong with that when your neighbor's choice is infringing on your rights. I agree that's a reasonable use of government regulation if the damage caused is clear.
This reads like a young adult discovering the world has become corrupt and wondering why it changed so much since their childhood when everyone's good.

I met with some old college friends and we were discussing some of our antics at the time. I sort of cringed when being reminded of the lame stuff I had been doing at that time. That was me then, and now I'm a different person. I don't think I'm not being genuine though.
> It also has some great tech that doesn't exist elsewhere, like Blazor which allows you to build entire websites (backend and frontend) with C#

I won’t comment on whether blazor is a good framework for frontend web dev. But it’s far from unique.

These days there’s heaps of languages you can use for both front- and backend web programming. JavaScript and typescript, obviously. Dart. And Go and Kotlin have some blazor-like wasm builds (though they still have a large download size). Lately I’ve been noodling with web dev in rust with Dioxus. It’s crazy fast - it trades blows with the best JS frameworks. And it’s very ergonomic. It’s basically solidjs rewritten in rust. The resulting wasm bundle is bigger than the equivalent JavaScript code, but it’s really not too bad given wasm parses several times faster than JavaScript.

Blazor looks nice. And wasmgc should dramatically reduce the resulting wasm bundle size soon. But it’s far from unique. You can make webpages in almost any language now.
I would disagree.

Javascript is as easy to learn as any language, like understanding the syntax of a loop or an if-statement.

But to do anything practical at all, I'd say you quickly bump into a jungle of libraries you need for everything, and then it is just as complicated as any other language, or more. The javascript ecosystem is a nightmare.

I’m not sure this addresses the parent comment specifically mentioning the first amendment. I don’t think anyone was saying that the US is unique in having free speech laws or that those laws are a free-for-all.

However, it seems to at least be a common belief that US free speech laws are often interpreted more broadly than free speech laws in several other countries. Moreover, compelled speech (as noted by the commenter) seems not unrelated here. For instance, see the somewhat recent Colorado web designer case [1].

I am an avid athlete and spend a lot of time sweating outdoors.

An earlier comment I said I don't add anything, which is usually true, but I do add those minerals when I'm bringing water for exercise.

I went with a still because I wanted to be sure it's "just water". I feel like even if it did filter out the microplastics there's some other things it won't, so the simplest thing was just to ensure it's only water. No lead, no plastics, no plastic filters, no mercury, etc.
