I think there's something important and correct in this take.

As another example to your point, whether a function returns a list of foo's or a single foo is a also a color. You have to do completely different things when calling a function that returns a list compared to one that just returns a single value. And that's not just empty pedantry. Haskell let's you treat "list" as an effect (since it is a monad). Array languages like APL, J or R are colorblind with respect to "a list"/"not a list" as the difference is erased (to a large extend).
So there really is a whole rainbow of function colors (basically types).

On the other hand, this point of view doesn't really invalidate the original coloring argument at all. The effect encapsulated by "async" really is one that can be annoying and one that can actually be made implicit with a result that many would prefer.
Considering you get a better integrated environment rather than something designed more heavily around plugins you also get unquestionably much better refactoring tools.

One thing to note that I just learned: You cannot opt out of anonymous data collection if you use the free non-commercial license. (I'd probably still trust Jetbrains over Microsoft, but that's me)

As a paying subscriber I love this move for the .NET community.

As a .NET dev for many years, I've noticed there have been periods of time where either Visual Studio or Rider was far better than the other. Currently, Rider is much better.

Hopefully this encourages more people to try out C# & F#. Both fantastic languages.

- Edit - Looks like Webstorm (JS/TS editor) is also free now.

There are serious problems with this reasoning. A bank supporting a platform or not does not change the nature of that platform. That would be stupid.
That is a modern take. Even back then they would have known it was not a good idea. People in the past were not stupid, they knew it was a bad idea to save too much labor.
How wonderful of Apple to make sure non-EU citizens are protected from the terrible dangers of freedom to choose, forced upon EU iOS users by the tyrannical EU government /s
After staying in one region consistently, all the big tech companies will automatically switch your region for you. Some might take longer to force you than others, but it’s not certain that you can forever stay on another region.

But what makes most people have to switch eventually is a bank/government app that is region locked and you need it to live your life without pulling your hair out jumping through stupid hoops.

A VPN and two devices is the only way to stay truly separate from the region you live in full time over the long term.

Yes, you wouldn't want to use "Counter-Strike" but legally they can't stop you using "counterstrike". As you intimate, the legislation probably doesn't matter if you can't afford the legal process.
Or the government for that matter, had the welder been a citizen this would have probably cost $500,000. Instead they walkway with $31,000 of profit.
I wonder, if another country were to leave the EU in the future, would Apple actually go in and modify the code (or enable a server flag) to remove the feature from all of those country's users' devices?

It just seems so wrong to own a device, but still have the manufacturer dictate what that device is allowed to do, AND they have the ability to change those capabilities at will. It feels like buying a physical calculator, where the manufacturer can one day wave a magic wand and I lose the "divide" button. I'm generally an Apple fan and I get that people like Apple's "walled garden" but even to me this seems like an abuse.
What an amazing accomplishment JetBrains has done.

At first I thought you were not getting it, but, thinking it through, I now think the real problem is that the article gave us the averages (600, 701, 5000) without giving the standard deviations and nobody is outraged!

The combined result of the three experiments can be either surprising or absolutely obvious: if the standard deviation of each of the three experiments was around 1 cm, it would be troubling, if it was 100 cm, it would be troublesome yet, but if the standard deviation is 5000 cm, there would be nothing wrong in what happened.

They could have put other people’s personal data in. The only thing that matters is personal data. We have a right to making sure it’s removed. Once these massive privacy risks are dealt with we can start again. But only after we have a comprehensive report of the environmental consequences of this.

We’ve all had enough of people just stomping over our rights in this move fast and break things / ask forgiveness instead of permission crap.

Do it right. And respectfully instead of abusing people’s data.

I'm glad that this move will possibly make .NET more accessible, but I think VSC is in a really good place with C# at the moment and shouldn't be overlooked.
The original point was “let users access online banking and manage assets”, not whether you could “pull [it] out in the town square to make payments”. As an aside, why the town square?

Anyway, please consider stopping trolling.

I had a DEXA scan done and for me, it showed higher body fat about five percentage points higher than my scale at home did. But I used that as a calibration point for my home scale. I've found as long as I use the home scale under similar conditions each time, mostly in the morning after voiding my bladder but before showering, that there's not much fluctuation from day to day. If I ever hit my goal on the scale, I plan to go back and get a second DEXA scan.

Two interesting things that also came from getting the scan done was that it showed that I have poor bone density so that's an issue that needed addressing (and hopefully the second scan will show improvement) and the scan was part of a package where they also did a 3d scan of my body exterior, which I was able to download and 3d print. I plan on making a half-and-half model of my body's change upon hitting my goal body fat percentage.

I think it is not totally necessary to have it be impossible to tell you are wearing the things. Like walking around with earbuds or portable headphone was unusual at some point (even the walkman is less than 50 years old, right). They just have to not look deeply goofy, like current VR-pressganged-into-AR headsets do.
Why do I have to elaborate? It is well known that a container offers a sandbox and process isolation. The risk from not using one can be severe. The risks include but are not limited to packages and plugins.

The bitterest irony about photos or similar is it's quite unlikely they really deleted (or will delete) the photos. I mean. What an amazing walled garden data set for image models. Literally the fuel for Meta or twitter's AI. So here they are sitting on your data, taking advantage, training models, etc.. oh but you want to access the data? Oh no, you didn't pay every month, can't help you.

However it does make me wonder if california's consumer privacy act would cover the right to retrieve photographic data such as this.
I love Docker (more so the idea of containers). Use it almost everywhere: self hosting services, at work everything is deployed as a docker container.

Except local development. Absolutely hate the "oh need to add a dependency, gotta rebuild everything" flow.

I do use it if the project I'm developing against needs a DB/redis/etc, but I don't think there's a chance I'm going back to using it for local development.

In fact, at work, the project where we do use docker in development actually causes the most headaches getting up and running.

I use a combination of CPU architectures, so the idea of running _exactly_ what's in production when developing is already out the window.
How can I do this to port scanners? They constantly scan my home network and my firewall complains.

"Apple is the most valuable company in the world, their marketing is clearly great." PHEPH

Apple's development mandate[1] is explicit: 'elevated content across [x, y, z] genres.' aligned with their stated brand assets & perceptions with consumers.

They are good at maintaining their brand! But entertainment isn't Walled Garden Design™. Even Jobs knew to trust Lasseter to make stories and deferred to his wisdom on that front. Apple should start doing the same with the many fine creators eager to work with them and see their stories compete with NFLX or WBD.

But wait how do you write code if the services are all in docker like that?

When you get a more complex blank to fill, the normal thing to do is to improve all of your blank-filling models to adapt for it.

There's nothing wrong with that part.

I do have a problem with the single-minded insistence on disqualifying any exploratory study on alternatives to a model that gets more and more partially falsified all the time¹. To the point that only iffy personalities that don't care for their careers decide to work on them. But on a situation like this, those other models would probably be tweaked too.

> it would be fundamentally incorrect to ever call a function marked as async from most points of your program flow

For a language with async/await yes, you need to bifurcate your program into synchronous and asynchronous pieces, and be very careful to maintain that split.

For a language with a synchronous thread abstraction like go, you simply don't need to create this artificial bifurcation in the first place
I think the problem is not with renting but with letting owners hoard property (real estate or other) to profit from renting them out en masse, depriving others from ownership options. Also owners considering their property as something to do with as they want (exploit) rather than a duty of care. Best of both worlds for them: e.g. charge each month for software to pay for "ongoing development" and spend it on shareholders and/or features for growth but cut costs on support and maintenance... Or you know, rent out a moldy, drafty studio to a desperate intern who must move to Paris to work and doesn't have rich parents.

Maybe it proves your point that I'm technically a landlord now, but only to help out a neighbour so they could stay in the area for cheap, because they needed to downsize, approached me and we agreed on a very low price. I wasn't initially planning on renting it out because it needed some upfront work to be liveable, which might be even more selfish considering the housing shortage where i live...

Ursina engine: A Python powered, open source game engine
This is all very good and true, but as usual the devil is found in the details. For instance, my company sells Docker images that depend on a very old and recently unmaintained binary. Over the years, I've found issues with that binary that make it very hard to be sure issues are completely reproducible from system to system (or, as the article suggests, from local to production). Sometimes, it's as simple as a newer base image updating a core dependency (e.g. Alpine updating musl), but other times it seems like nothing changes but the host machine, and diagnosing kernel-level issues - say, your local Mac OS' LinuxKit kernel versus your production Amazon Linux or Ubuntu, and don't forget x86 emulation! - make "test what you develop and deploy what you test" occasionally very daunting.
It’s even more absurd. This could be pretty easily identified by allowing, or even requiring, instead of expressly forbidding(!!) employers from submitting the I9’s [https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-9...] they already have to fill out to the gov’t.

Or having SS or the IRS follow up on obvious identity fraud when paying in taxes.

But then the gov’t wouldn’t get the taxes from the sweet grift they have running, where illegal workers end up paying taxes on programs they can never collect on, and get taxes withheld they can never get back.

Because you better believe the gov’t will go after them if they try to collect instead of just pay in.

Next of kin certainly isn’t going to get any SS death payout here, that is for sure.

I have been using an iPhone with a British Apple ID and the British App Store, and the UK regional settings on some devices despite not living there anymore for a couple of years now. I am fairly confident switching countries requires the user to do it consciously.

[edit] for this feature specifically, they are more aggressive: https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/7/24093437/apple-iphone-thir...

And who more often than not get their software imposed on by the orgs they work in, so it's doubly complicated - the developers have to be convinced themselves enough to be willing to convince their IT department/fellow developers to pay for.

Actually, there is a significant difference between the community versions (e.g. for PyCharm) and the versions available for non-commercial use. The latter are full versions of the products without any reduced functionality, whereas the community editions have certain features trimmed.
It is similar to IO in Haskell which also force you to explicitly declare it in the signature (and in turn force callers to be IO), where most other languages (even functional) allow you to do IO anywhere.
Docker for local development is only useful for running services like Postgresql and Redis, or doing hot reloads using something like vite or air. The development in a box paradigm is really difficult to maintain, much prefer direnv or nix.

Ask HN: Why aren't we fighting email spam more effectively?
I own a few businesses and receive daily emails from (a) hiring agencies, (b) investment firms, and (c) companies selling “user data” (e.g., Docker users, Apple users, etc.).

None of these emails are CAN-SPAM compliant (in the USA). I started looking into whether it’s even possible to report these violations, but it seems like ICANN doesn’t really care. They only enforce abuse forms/emails with domain registrars when spam includes phishing or other specific violations.

Have we just given up on fighting spam? Is it because we allow cold sales outreach to continue unchecked?
Yes, why would they go above and beyond to create unrecaptured expenses for themselves?

I mean, you as a human only ever pay the minimal price for a product that they will sell it to you for. Why would any other human do otherwise?
