Yes, to a degree. Though that's another balancing act. Engaging (well) with people takes serious time & effort & emotional energy. Vs. downvoting takes ~1 second, and is trivial to do when you're in a bad mood. And it'd take even more time to look at a user's history here, to get a sense of whether they're a idiot/troll, a kid who's learning, someone with a developed but differing PoV, a good devil's advocate, or what. (And, for what I know, user FirmwareBurner might be a young German - whose own life was just ruined by German cuts to education and healthcare.)

Arguably there should be some pretty-tight limits on downvoting & flagging. But I do those so little that I probably wouldn't know if there already were.
There's lots of simpler explanations. Like maybe one of them had a "gastrointestinal event" during the landing, potentially exposing the others to something infectious.

What's ahead for programmers in next 18 months as per Chris Slee, Transform Labs
In a recent talk, Chris Slee, a founder of Transform Labs in Columbus, Ohio, identified the tools developers will need to understand within the next 18 months. He posits that programming will move beyond the use of traditional copilots into using tools that reshape how developers interact with code. Slee described five key categories of tools with examples:

- Frameworks

- AI-friendly databases

- Code writing tools

- Pieces as a unique tool

- Future frameworks

Each of these is discussed in one of the following sections.
> Btw, why was he dismissed based on that decision?

He wasn‘t. He was dismissed because after months of acrimonious fighting in the three-party coalition and after asking him increasing more pointedly, chancellor Scholz finally ordered Lindner to make more debt, and the latter refused. Then, according to German newspaper reports, Scholz told him after a short recess „I don‘t want you any longer in my cabinet“ and he said „okay“.

There have been about two years of foul play, reciprocal attacks and leaking to the press between all combinations of the three coalition partners (and sometimes between individual ministers). Don‘t think you understand any about it by reading a short article.

Probably because it's how society operates now and while they wish society was different, they don't want to become a hermit.
That is only a good investment if you believe that:

- Said rival nation is 100% determined to invade and conquer Europe, basically triggering a WWIII

- There is no diplomatic way to sort this out, moving from a rivalry to a friendship

Apparently Scholz doesn't?

And if you do, I'd be curious to know what brings you to believe that Russia would rather attempt an utterly insane conquer of Europe than resume friendly and much more profitable relations.

Bonus points if you can explain that without resorting to baseless analogies.

But any fact that would paint Apple in a bad light will be silenced here.

The truth is that no matter how good of a player Adobe would be, Apple would still be trying to fuck them over because Apple's greed is infinite.

Adobe's switch to subscription pricing is very annoying, but at least it's not completely absurd compared to what you would pay previously if you bought the software outright and if you actually subscribe to the full package, you get much more value actually.
And their competitors, while decent, are not really a replacement for professional work.
Affinity is fine and all but after having used it a bit for a few projects, if I were to do it full time professionally, I would pay for Creative Cloud.

In comparison the extortionate pricing Apple practices on their RAM/storage upgrades is much worse.
Delta can show in the terminal a diff that looks like the GitHub one. You can compare side by side what was changed. It also highlight with more strength what changed inside the line. I installed it once, and never came back to the standard diff output.

If Delta doesn't work like you expected and you want a standard diff output temporarily, no problem, you can run Git with

git -c core.pager=less

Note also that if you redirect the Git output, Git is smart enough to not call the pager (in this case, Delta)

This is a case of personal taste. My only complaint about Delta is its name. Delta is already a concept in Git, and every time that I need to search about it is a pain... I search directly by "dandavision delta"
> Your “trying to frame a man” is their “trying to get him to confess to something he did”.

This is not a valid activity. Either you have proof or you don’t.

A proper hardened criminal will never confess.

If you have a confession, it’s >70% chance for perversion of justice:

A terrorist will confess because they want fame

In Russia you pay someone to ‘confess’ for your crime and go to prison instead of you.

The naive, mentally infirm will confess, often to things they didn’t do.

Or you managed to torture a confession out of someone, like they did here.

Confessions lead straight to Spanish Inquisition type of justice

Exactly. Those ads were highly effective because they prey upon people's prejudices -- unfortunately the more inhumane ones. The human mind is primarily a pattern-finder and prejudices are hard to unlearn once you learn them.

The title is fake news. Lindner and Scholz have had political differences, especially over new debt, and thus the coalition was dissolved after months of disagreement. Not over Taurus missiles.
That's spot on, there's two main goals of the app review:

I think downvotes shouldn't exist at all, since beside how easy it is to abuse them, they're redundant. The most correct/approved opinions will naturally float to the top thanks to upvotes, that's all that is needed for the purpose of a scoring system.

Flagging should periodically be reviewed by moderators. If it turns out that someone used flagging as a censorship tool, that user should eventually be banned, perhaps after a few warnings.

I tried your example but git does create a conflict in my case - but maybe I misunderstood the scenario.
Python support can likely be done (I would be thrilled if someone made a PR for it), but I don't know if there is a lot of potential for solving conflicts there: imports can have side effects, function arguments are complicated with the mixture of positional and keyword arguments, decorators are effectful… it seems to me that there is a lot of sensitivity to order in many places.
Since they were already Apple hardware only apps, there is a good chance not much will change about it (at least in the near term) and they will just use it as a tool to increase the desirability of their hardware, just like they do for their iWork suite.

I don't think it bodes well for the long term though, because Apple tend to not care much about stuff that don't make them a ton of money.
It will probably become like their office apps, being updated at a glacial pace, used primarily as a marketing tool but never really reaching a level that would truly make them a worthwhile competitor.

A constant-acceleration flight profile would also be a lot faster for interplanetary travel, but is impractical for any known or currently plausible reaction engine: the rocket equation strikes again. Ion or Hall-effect thrusters require only electrical power and so can more or less continuously accelerate, but they produce far too little thrust to provide meaningful pseudogravity.

Classically, the way to mitigate the medical problems of long microgravity exposure is by giving the spacecraft a rotating section, which produces enough centrifugal "down" to mostly satisfy human physiology. I understand the engineering problem involved there to be fairly severe in its own right, but most likely soluble given an established orbital manufacturing industry amply supplied by heavy lift from Earthside.

Another option might be to cable a pair of spacecraft together and spin them about their common barycenter, as I believe has been done with satellites in a few cases. Perhaps this will serve to improve the economics of Martian convict labor by increasing survival rates of transportees, while the English travel first class aboard luxury liners with spin gravity and nightly zero-G cabaret.

We're not going to be able to escape climate change hell on earth by going to mars. You're not transferring 8 billion people to mars this century. The extremely optimistic scenario is that a small group of select rich people and explorers will be able to go to mars and live there self-sufficiently this century, but "we", as in 99.99% of humans, will have to deal with conditions on earth as they are.
Astronauts have survived in the ISS for longer than it would take to make the trip to Mars. I don't think slightly damaging your eyesight would be a deal breaker if you're willing to go to Mars, a radioactive, unbreathable, freezing, near-vacuum and sterile desert.

That's short-sighted. I'm not trying to say here whether this case was the right direction or not, but sometimes helping another country is in your longer term interest. Cases like: Do you want to spend money helping the other country or get flooded with refugees in a year? Do you want to help defend a country or face the same enemy on your ground soon? Do you want to sponsor foreign infrastructure and stimulate trade, or hand over a potential partner to start producing ammo for your enemy?

Wow really? This could be a huge market for rich people who need a beach body within 3 months. Ozempic + a vacation in space could be a game changer for them.
>or get flooded with refugees in a year

We already are flooded. Everyone from Ukraine who can leave (and even those who theoretically can't but have money/connections) has already moved or is trying to move to the EU. The borders are already open for them anyway. So that argument is moot. Better would be to keep Ukrainians in their country so they can keep fighting for it since they can't defend it all the way from Belgium.

>Do you want to help defend a country or face the same enemy on your ground soon?

What proof is there that Russia can attack NATO? If they're struggling with 1% of NATO what argument is there they'll want to face 100% of NATO.

The Arsse – The clean and modern RSS server that doesn't give you any crap
We’ve been a pretty solid TS, C#, C and C# shop which was in the process of moving some TS and all of our C# to Go to make our language package smaller. Go was a good choice for us, it’s not better than C# in any way. Then we had some organisation wise changes in strategy, and now Python is our strategy. (Still with C (sometimes Zig), and TS in our single frontend. Anyway this meant I recently had to do my first work with Django and boy was that… well I guess it was my Ruby on Rails moment? It’s so productive… Sure, it’s setup like a Go project more than a Django project, we use Django apps more like Go modules and we’ve opted for ninja-Django for the API, so it’s not exactly Django. It’s still really easy to be productive with, however, and now I’m not sure why I haven’t crossed paths with it before.

That being said, it’s very easy to get into Go if you know Python. Especially coming from an opinionated framework like Django. In my experience the people who have the hardest time getting into go are Java/C# developers who don’t appreciate the core Go focus on simplicity and having absolutely no “magic”. Which is understandable. Getting into Go from Python is different because Python is terrible, so a lot of the opinionated simplicity will most likely make you wish Python had parts of it.

We did some PoCs with Rust to see if it was worth adopting instead of C. We found it wasn’t for us. I mentioned Zig, that is because of the interoperability with C, it’s not something we plan on fully adopting any time soon.

As far as “future proofing” goes, does it really matter? If you’ve been a developer for years you’ll easily be capable of picking up Go and Rust. Of the two I personally found Go a little more challenging to be effective with. It’s easier to get into, but getting concurrency right (not being a memory hog) wasn’t trivial for us in the beginning. You should also look at your local job market. I think PHP would be the best fit for a “mercenary” in my city. By comparison I don’t think there has been a single Rust job posting for a couple of years.

Those villages are protected by massive spending from the US and significantly smaller % from Europe. We'll likely see the difference if/when the US part goes away.

They don't have to invade. Have you seen the impact on the energy market in many countries? Grain availability? Refugee impact? And that's for countries still more then one border away.
You need a huge group of people to even vaguely approach self sufficiency, or multiple generational advances in manufacturing.

Optimizing for promotion is a terrible solution to life's problems. Promotions often, if not always, come with much larger workloads for only marginal pay increases.

Whether the a corporate hierarchy is your "customer" or you deal with actual end-consumers, the goal is to minimize your workload while maximizing your paycheck, and a promotion in a corporate setting simply does not do that anywhere short of the C-suite.

So what should one optimize for, if not promotion? Being the indispensable guru in your domain. People get promoted and people get laid off. No one has as much power as the person you cannot, must not, ever fire. In such a situation, the optimal strategy is to terrify one's superiors who don't understand the domain, and refuse promotion (but do accept a raise).

See that webmonkey in the corner next to the rain pipe, making double what the manager makes? If they fired him the whole company would be screwed because he's the only one who has a complete picture of XYZ client's network infrastructure.

Show HN: Daily Show HN Highlights in 3 Languages
Hi everyone! I’m an indie developer and a longtime HN reader, and like many of you, I get a lot of inspiration and insight from the Show HN section. But I noticed that I kept missing some of the coolest projects that pop up there, so I decided to build Show HN Today as a solution.

What Show HN Today does:

Daily roundup: Each day, it uses AI to automatically pull together the latest Show HN posts, so I (and hopefully others) won’t miss anything interesting.
Multi-language support: It publishes the content in English, Chinese, and Japanese, so more people can follow along and explore.
Images and summaries: Each project gets a brief description and a visual preview, making it easier to get a quick sense of what it’s about.
This is a simple tool I made for myself and friends, but I thought it might also be useful for others who don’t want to miss out on great ideas and projects from the HN community.

I’d love any feedback or suggestions you have—I know there’s always room for improvement, and it’d be great to hear what you think! Thanks for checking it out!
