> That's an interesting counter-take and it makes me wonder if Rust isn't a third thing... not the clean sparse MIT approach but also not the wild YOLO slop of C and Unix. Something correct but also complex and pragmatic.

I had supposed this in a previous thread, and I agree it is another thing entirely, however whether Rust is 'correct' or 'pragmatic', I think is a matter of contention.

> (1) Worse is free -- the "worse" stuff tended to be less encumbered by patents and closed source / copyrights. This is particularly true after GNU, BSD, and Linux. Free stuff is viral. It spreads fast and overtakes everything else.

At the time it seems that the "worse" stuff was actually more encumbered--GNU started to exist as a consequence of Unix both becoming an industry standard and solidifying the position of nonfree software in industry, and it didn't get that way by being free--they simply licensed it away en masse to universities. The free software movement was born out of the MIT hacker ethic of sharing software freely (GNU brought the design philosophy of MIT to Unix systems, and largely stands opposed to the "worse is better" approach. It originally sought to replace parts of Unix with superior alternatives, such as Info over man pages). BSD didn't become free until much, much later, at which point Linux had already become relevant.

> (2) Programmers like to show off, and "worse" provides more opportunities to revel in complexity and cleverness.

I think maybe C or C++ lets you show off by hacking around the compiler to do certain things that look impressive like preprocessor hacks or obfuscated code, but I think many would agree that this kind of style isn't "correct": languages like Go were developed as a consequence of this in order to suck any and all fun you might get out of hacking C, in order to force you to write more "correct" programs. Lisp, on the contrary doesn't tell you what a correct or incorrect program is, and gives you every facility to write programs that are infinitely complex and clever.

To me, Rust looks like the result of trying to break the rules of industry languages, by trying to incorporate things like real macros and type systems into something that resembles a real-world language. But it's biggest flaw to me is that it doesn't break enough of them, rather it makes more in the process.

Our SaaS (avena.io) already has around 100k active users who use various features, some powered by AI. The “subscribers” refer to our users on different subscription plans of our main SAAS product. The waiting list is for our widget, APIQuota, which we developed to manage AI usage effectively. It’s unrelated to the total number of our current SaaS users but could be useful for other platforms facing similar AI cost challenges.
What I'm saying is that if it really does interfere with LTE in a significant manner, then T-Mobile, a carrier partnering with Starlink, has a large incentive to work with them to reduce that interference.
There's no reason why a declarative manifest v3 API couldn't offer this. If I'm reading the commit details correctly, it could work even better by being better integrated into the request flow to block the request on the actual IP address used before anything is sent to the servers.

Of course, this all relies on browser vendor (Google) wanting to add this API. Doing this imperatively with "live code" allows for innovations in userland before browser makers add built in support for it.
Plus the sync only works between clients AFAICT — literally all the listed backends are also “coming soon”. Which is troubling, I’d guess that almost all local-first applications need some sort of trusted verification server, at the very least. But maybe I’m biased/unimaginative; I suppose some kinds of collaboration apps (figma, google docs, etc) might work fine serverless? Certainly not games or AI agents, right?

This seems awesome, but my natural game-stopping questions are;

1. When will backends be supported?

2. Why doesn’t the site mention “local-first”?

Oh and just for fun;

3. Why “Collaborative Values” instead of what I learned in school, “Shared Memory”?

You can distribute object files but nobody does that because it's harder to do than simply using a dynamic library. The main reason people want static linking is for simplicity or to explicitly prevent the kind of alteration that LGPL protects anyway. If the result of statically linking to an LGPL library is objectively more complex than using a shared library, nobody will do it.

Distributing full source also satisfies the requirement. But as I said you will lose technical control of the project, if not legal control of it, by distributing the source along with an LGPL library.
Gah, it's all right there! Amazing what you can forget/mistake due to what you've been working on lately.

What's wrong with that? Who still watches TV (either OTA or from satellite) in this age, except for elderly people who haven't figured out how to use the internet? This seems like people complaining about the consolidation of companies in the landline telephone market. It's a dying market, so of course the companies still hanging on are going to merge so they can save costs and squeeze the few remaining customers more.

The answer in this scenario is to exempt that application and/or folder. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

In my environment we have to add exceptions for Developers git folders for the realtime scanning for a similar reason. Apps with large numbers of small files or high frequency writes of smalls files, like temp files during the build process, need to be exempted unless you’re willing to pay the performance penalty for the security.

Considering we're looking at an adversarial nation state (famously full of script kiddies) which is absolutely hell-bent and motivated to tackle their drone problem, and not once has that state or its script kiddies commandeered a single drone - nevermind a fleet of them - (nor are the script kiddies even remotely in range?) I don't see this being a problem now or in the near future.
While this is true they are among the worst polluters in the EU. England, Spain, France, even italy has a better CO2 balance than Germany per kWH. The amount of energy that comes from renewables is a meaningless number. The only thing that matters is how much CO2 they emit per kWH and due to their coal power plants, the number is quite bad.

This. I'm so tired of people (and Google/Apple themselves) trying to change the narrative and say that this is about Android and iOS competing. It's not. Both companies are effectively saying you have no right to change the upholstery in your car unless you buy the package from them.

> Focus on What Matters

I really wish companies and people would stop saying things like this. “Focus on what’s important,” “focus on product,” etc. It’s frankly insulting to the admittedly small percentage of tech who deeply understand and care about the infrastructure that makes all of this magic possible.

If someone isn’t managing servers, your serverless magic will not work. If someone isn’t managing DBs, your product will not work. There is no getting around this problem; at some level, someone has to know how computers actually work, and to defend them against the abuses levied by people who neither know nor care to learn.
As somebody familiar with the area described in the article I cannot fathom how somebody could be lost, conscious (article mentions messages were exchanged) for so long.
For a computer whose only I/O is a serial console, I'd say that it has no character 'a', but only a character 0x61 with such-and-such properties and relationships with other characters. It's when we press the 'A' key on our keyboard and get 0x61 out, or put 0x61 in and see the glyph 'a' on a display or a printout, that the code becomes associated with our human concept of the letter.

That is, suppose I design a font file so that character 0x61 has glyph 'b' and 0x62 has glyph 'a', and I accordingly swap the key caps for 'A' and 'B' on my keyboard. If I write a document with this font file and print it off, then no one looking at it could tell that my characters had the wrong codes. Only the spell-checker on my computer would complain, since it's still following its designers' ideas of the character codes 0x61 and 0x62 are supposed to mean within a word.
That's sort of like saying "TCP" is a failure because everyone now uses SSH instead of TELNET. TCP/IP still has to do all of the things the OSI stack does, it just does it in a different manner and there are (thankfully) plenty of well defined wire-formats and processing expectations so interoperability is pretty straight-forward. But I still think IPSec would have been MUCH easier to deploy had TCP/IP maintained a rational distinction between presentation and session layers. I guess what we learned is that SSL/TLS and FreeSWAN's assumptions about routing encrypted payloads were "good enough."

Also, if you're going to compare TCP/IP to various OSI implementations, you should compare the full stack including PEM, MOSS, SMIME, SSL/TLS, SSH. Each muddies the difference between presentation and application layers, but as in the previous paragraph, no one seems to care. Talking SMTP over SSH (or SSL/TLS) is totally fine; you don't need to have a sub-protocol to define how a presentation layer on top of a secure session layer works if you can make certain assumptions about the behaviour of the code on the other side of the network connection.
The following is probably going to be a closer comparison:

let arr = [1, 2, 3, 4];
let max = arr.reduce((a, b) => Math.max(a, b));

Or C# and Rust (which will be >100x faster at finding max value[0][1]):

var arr = new[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
var max = arr.Max();

let arr = [1, 2, 3, 5];
let max = arr.iter().max();

Ruby does nail the minimalism in this code golfing example, but it does not offers uniquely high productivity to the end user, which is a frequently brought up point in defense of interpreted languages whenever their shortcomings are mentioned. Lacking static typing, Ruby users have to resort on e.g. Sorbet, which is a worse experience and numerous comments on HN seem to provide negative feedback on it.

I do actually hate to mention performance every time, but it's difficult to not do so when apples-to-apples comparison can be made. Compiled statically typed languages with GC offer similar or better (because the code is verified by compiler, not Sorbet) productivity without any of the drawbacks that come with Ruby.

This is to illustrate the point about the languages that do come with rich standard library, that also happen to go to great lengths at ensuring that shortest way to express something is also the fastest whenever possible.

This is where I see how long that battle will be.

The future where this "extremely annoying" situation is fully solved is Xbox XXX being un removable and the only Game Store allowed on any PC sold, with legal threats to anyone jailbreaking.

> My gut feeling is there are still the same number of jobs for C++ today as there were in the 90s. It's just that they're hard to find because the total number of programming jobs has exploded. The reason you can't see the C++ jobs is because the newer, non-C++ jobs are crowding them out on job boards. [This is a hypothesis, one I haven't (dis)proven.]

I don't know anything about the total number of C++ jobs, but there's a huge filter bubble effect for job searching. If you don't mention a language on your resume or list it under your skills then you're very unlikely to see any jobs for it or have anybody contact you for a job using it, whether we're talking about C++, Python, Typescript, or even technologies like Docker.

> For one, the company presumably finds out you were lying when you got hurt or died. So you -- the person who made the contract -- are not the one who gets punished for lying.

Huh, that's exactly the same situation as lying to your life insurance, eg about prior conditions or whatnot. And they handle that just fine.

> Second, putting something in a contract doesn't make it magically happen. If the company wanted to recoup anything for you lying, they'd have to take you or your estate to court.

They'll just don't pay out. No need to recoup anything.

That is not an ad hominem statement. It is an opinion about how overblown the idea is and why George is famous for it. Some property tax is probably a good idea. Does this dude deserve credit for the idea? No. Is he right in asserting that all poverty results from a lack of access to land? No. Will property tax make the economy go brrr? No. The idea of choosing the uses of land by taxing the hell out of random entities just because you think have the money to pay for it is tantamount to communism. I'm not about to read a whole book on the supposed revolutionary merits of property tax, thank you very much.

Are you seriously suggesting the voter pool received no monetary benefits from the government before 1920? President Lincoln signed the Homestead Act in 1862 - does getting 160 acres from uncle Sam for a token fee count as "monetary benefit" in your books? The act grant was for "heads of households" 21 years and older. I bet there were similar land grants in the original colonies predate the declaration of independence.
Russian military doctrine favors collateral damage. I think part of the US's love of precision weapons comes from the fact that they media will go nuts if the US kills non-targets.

At some point our global perception of a certain subject might be totally different from what it is in reality just because all images about X are the optimal, AI improved, photoshopped version.

So, 2007-present, that's when.

Android is acknowledged as a Linux distribution. Linux, also known as GNU/Linux, incorporates significant GPL-licensed code. By contrast, Apple has used BSD derivatives for a codebase, and BSD licenses, while F/OSS, are not "viral" in the way the GPL is, so Apple is not required to redistribute source code, or submit their patches upstream, and they can make proprietary additions anywhere they like.
That doesn't explain why it isn't considered "green" energy. That's a grift. Its only emissions are the carbon footprint of building it, which is no small feat, but given the 40-60 year lifespan, is well in the "green" by my estimation. "Green" is just some subjective label stamped by the far left, meaning sources of energy they can use for handouts like solyndra.
