I think you read the article as saying that juggling function color is trivial nonsense and a waste of programmers' time, and your rebuttal is "await" isn't trivial - it conveys important information about the function.

My reading of the article is very different. I think the main thrust is function color is infectious, and that's an issue because adding "async" to a single function can have cascading effects through your codebase, which makes refactoring difficult and slows down development speed. This is true even if "async" conveys important information.
"The American glass, also known as the 'Nadir Figueiredo® glass', due to the family name of the first industry to manufacture it, contains a rather low volume (190 ml) and is exceptionally ugly (Fig. 8)."

Glad to see this one mentioned. In fact, it is so popular that it has become a standard unit of measure in Brazilian recipes. The reason it is so popular is because most beer sold in Brazil comes in 600 ml bottles to be shared by everyone at the table. Beer drinking in Brazil is mostly a social activity.

Show HN: Skipper AI – Turn Slack conversations into detailed Jira tickets
Skipper turns Slack conversations into Jira tickets.
It uses AI to organize the text, analyze images, and create detailed tickets in Jira — like an assistant. This reduces a bunch of tedious, repetitive Jira work.

I initially built Skipper as an internal tool for my team, and it has worked well in saving us time and context-switching.

What it does uniquely:
- Task type: Auto-detects based on context.
- Epics: Auto-assigns the most relevant epic it finds, or you can specify which one to use.
- Sprints: Detects the next sprint automatically and places the ticket there.
- Assignee: You can assign to someone through your command, or leave it unassigned by default.

Just @Skipper in a thread, or use /ticket anywhere. A ticket will be created from context & posted inline for everyone to see.

Try Skipper: https://tryskipper.ai

Give it a spin! I'd love your feedback and questions.
Yea they're all AI generated! I used this site https://www.craiyon.com/

Python also has it. You can call async code with `asyncio.run` but it is extremely limited by the fact that nested event loops are prohibited. Any function that uses it becomes extremely brittle because it can't be called from async functions unlike all other synchronous code.

This is for the most part an intentional design decision to "make sure that when the user is already in async code they don't call the sync form out of laziness." [1]

I have a question for you about RethinkDNS:

Can you point me the link to one thread or question about Netguard on some major internet forums like HN, Reddit or similar, where you or other RethinkDNS devs did not jump in and hijacked the thread? Only one example, please?

Your spammy marketing tactics of spamming makes your product looks like a scum, and I don't even have a desire to test.

Also, why do you keep comparing one on device firewall like Netguard with a cloud first solution like RethinkDNS?
Script usually implies some kind of task that runs once and the exits. As opposed to a system that is expected to run indefinitely.

There are good reasons for why scripts are often interpreted and why systems are often compiled, but that's not what defines them. There are definitely scripts that are compiled and systems that are interpreted out in the wild.

No inversion of control is still coupling. You have modules A and B.

If module A is defined in terms of B or B defined in terms of A then you have a coupling.

The inversion is orthogonal to the problem right? The inversion of A defined in terms of B is rewriting B to be defined in terms of A.

Better to have A and B not know about each other and be independent instead of dependent.

Unless you are involved with a particular interaction, they just want to check your visa status. A passport photo/stamp will do if their system is digitized. Arresting someone (except for the US where the police likes to arrest people) is a major hassle.
I know this will get flagged and I'll get called a Russian despite being an American from flyover country: Yes, one definitely can tenably make that argument.

The Monroe Doctrine, ironically, was precipitated by negotiations with Russia[1] and is almost identical in its aims for the Western Hemisphere as Putin's nominal arguments against NATO expansion eastward, namely the assertion that the Western Hemisphere was closed to European colonization and settlement.

Is this Putin talking about NATO expansion? 'Finally, you have broader considerations that might follow what you would call the "falling domino" principle. You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly. So you could have a beginning of a disintegration that would have the most profound influences.' No, it's Dwight Eisenhower talking about communism in Indochina in 1954. The maxims "Principiis obsta" and "Finem respice" apply universally.

The Monroe Doctrine and Domino Theory were both framed as defensive policies that were then used for protectionist and geopolitical justifications for foreign wars of aggression against neighbors and neutral independent countries. Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya didn't even have the protection of these broader geopolitical aims, just naked warmongering and profiteering (Osama Bin Laden was Saudi).

The necessity for narratives of moral exceptionalism to maintain a permanently jingoist state is to be expected, but it'd be healthier for the intelligentsia to privately admit that fact rather than hiding behind moral exceptionalism even in their personal lives. The West wants to permanently de-fang and colonize Russia for obvious reasons--geopoltical hegemony and market intrusion. These reasons create a perennial playbook everyone else has played by for thousands of years. And I'm sure when NATO does inevitably fail to a novel power, the remnants will play by the same rules Monroe and Putin played by, sed Carthago delenda est.[3]

That camera detector is pretty pricey; I once saw a low-tech solution that was basically a dyed card that you had to put in front of your phone camera with the light on, the light reflected by the camera lens would become very visible.

Of course, only a matter of time - if they don't already exist - before there's cheap spy cameras without a reflecting lens, like a solid state camera of sorts. I believe some years ago they were experimenting with that as an alternative to a front facing camera on phones.

I don't think your examples really prove your point. You include 100 year old auto manufacturers, companies long acquired by US tech giants, and a failing AI hardware company that has nothing to do with Nvidia. Probably the most valid example is SAP but even then it's in the slowest moving most bureaucratic ridden industry.
The notching is great for the hypothetical 100% circular log, but there will still be undulations and curves and twists and weird bumps and lumps etc that would make for quite large gaps between layers. You would need to either flatten/groove the entire length of the log, or find some other way to fill the gaps. I am no expert but I have vague recollection of watching westerns etc where there appears to be clay packed into the joint between the logs which I guess would make a decent join.

> reduces customer choice in the overall market

What is this bollocks? Slavery being illegal "reduces customer choice in the overall market". Being compelled to clean up industrial waste rather than pump it straight into the air and rivers "reduces customer choice in the overall market". Being required to be honest about financial investments "reduces customer choice in the overall market" - the market for RUBES.

The EU is not compelling Apple to remove anything, it's compelling Apple to offer their end-users the CHOICE to use third-party apps and app-stores where Apple mercilessly locked it all down for their own financial benefit - deliberately calculating what would benefit them the most.

You know who reduces customer choice? Apple. When they lock you in for their own benefit.

There is nothing wrong with pointing out the origins of ideas and concepts, especially on a site like Hacker News. 2048 was much more popular than Threes, often to the point where many people are unaware of Threes at all, so I think it’s important in these kinds of forums to make sure people know where the game idea came from, and that the originators get credit.

I don't think you're a cynic at all. I object to the entire "dark matter" hypothesis, because there is zero evidence for it. What we have, are observations that indicate errors in our models. We need to look for those errors, not invent ever more abstruse version of "ether" to explain them away.

Since I actually work in this field:

Redundant switching power supplies are purpose built to be redundant. They usually have a current share circuit (to balance the load) and output diodes (to stop one supply from feeding the other one). Without that one supply will "over power" the other, fill it's output caps, and then the feedback of that supply will go "Hey the output caps are charged so why do I need to do anything!?". You end up with an erosion of power balance.

You are riding a pretty high horse, but the commenters in that thread are not wrong and if you think cheap 5V USB chargers are anything like redundant server PSU's. I don't think putting random USB chargers in parallel will cause a fire or anything, but it's just needlessly bad engineering that will be anything but robust.

A programming analogy to help people here: You can write a program that is tens of thousands of lines of if statements. It might probably work maybe for some inputs? But damn if it not bad engineering. No one would ride around on the high horse of "See the program worked! The "experts" were wrong!".

Falling back to IPv4 if IPv6 does not succeed is literally the day 1 behavior of IPv6 transition. Except for TCP it may take a few minutes which is clearly unacceptable. So we wrote RFC6555. It still doesn’t help in the case of PMTUD black holes, but fixes the most obvious blunders. It’s still that you need to have a common protocol between the two endpoints, there is no way around it - so he just rephrases what is essentially “transition via dual stack” strategy but with his own words.

Once again - djb is a brilliant cryptographer, an application designer and coder, and I respect him very much for his genius there.

But I maintain that his thoughts on the topic of IPv6 transition unfortunately do not share this property, and reveal that he is completely ignorant of a lot of practical factors that are at play in that context.
A burglar isn't deterred by a camera though. I mean for this use case they'd already be inside. Cameras don't prevent nor solve crime, at best they're for legal purposes if someone is caught, or for insurance claims.
They do, but they also want to be safe from being able to choose unexpectedly and doing this in a way that both protects the user and gives them choices is hard. I also want mobile OSes to be flexible but they should always err on the side of caution given most of their users don't have time and energy to understand how to use such features safely and correctly.
That's fine, but we would like to see the orders he received and the evidence. This patch is outrageous because of the lack of transparency, not the patch itself if there's a good reason for it. Linus and Greg appear to be not only not posting a reason, but trying to keep the reason secret.
