The point of "No Russian" is that the mass shooting was unjustified. You're an American who has infiltrated a terrorist group, and you go on a mass shooting with them to maintain your cover. Then, at the end of the mission, it's revealed that the terrorists knew you were an American, so they kill you and leave your body behind so that Russia blames the United States for the attack.

It's subversive because you think it's the typical "sometimes you have to do bad things to stop worse things from happening" plot.

But nope, committing atrocities because that's the standard of the "bad guys" is what allows terrorists to justify their existence and propagate the cycle of violence. The entire plot of the game is that individuals in the US and Russian governments use terrorism to justify even worse actions.

The game mentioned in the OP, on the other hand, portrays Palestinian liberation as requiring violence in order to match the actions of the Israeli military. The killings are not only justified but are necessary. This follows Frantz Fanon, who said:

> At the level of individuals, violence is a cleansing force. It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction; it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect.

In other words, getting revenge is inherently cathartic and the solution to a violent conflict is to ensure your side performs more violence and ultimately wins. It's a very different message to Call of Duty.
Sufficiently advanced "low code" is indistinguishable from a framework or a library.

The main difference in practice is that most software that markets itself as "low code" obscures how it works and tries to lock you in to charge rent. Though to be fair, there is generally not much of a market for proprietary/non-OSS libraries and frameworks anymore, so if you want to monetize your library/framework low-code (or an API) is probably the way to do it.

Aside from that, I do think the "low code" label can be genuinely helpful as a way of communicating towards semi-technical users that the software they're using is intended to be usable with their level of technical sophistication. IMO this has been a perpetually underserved market, and it's growing over time especially as computer science/programming gains popularity in schools. There are a lot of people out there who understand basic programming and took maybe a couple CS classes in their life, and want to do something entrepreneurial or practical for their non-SWE jobs, but aren't skilled enough to dive right in to doing things the way experienced SWEs would do it.
Agreed on all points, particularly about making a point to read downvoted comments because they might be unique takes. Because arbitrarily downvoted comments can become invisible or near invisible, on general principles i've never once downvoted one, even those whose opinions I absolutely hate, though I do sometimes upvote, like in the case of your reply, or, especially, comments that give me a good laugh or food for thought.
>I don't actually know anyone who has, I've merely just heard about it.

Well "yarg", a few comments up in this conversation, says he lost all his data to it with the last year.

I've seen enough comments like that that I don't see it as a trustworthy filesystem. I never see comments like that about ext4 or ZFS.
Forget about independent writers, Append() isn’t thread-safe (as in there’s no locking on .length; there’s no data race) so you’ll get constant conflicts with two goroutines logging to the same writer.
> No way he would have done that without copyright.

Why not?

For centuries people wrote books so that they would have a legacy and be remembered. They wrote because they felt it was the right thing to do, or because they wanted to control the narrative around their lives. Do you have any specific reason to believe that Grant wrote his autobiography to provide for his successors, rather than just to have written it?

I understand the theory about incentivizing people to create, but honestly I'm not convinced that what we get from that deal is worth it. Too often it feels like extended copyright creates a similar set of incentives to advertising—sure, we get more works, but the best works would have been written even with a much shorter copyright because the author had something they wanted to say. The works that are being incentivized by long copyrights are the ones that we could do without.
Sometimes it is, or very nearly is.
> anyone who complained about mRNA vaccines "corrupting your DNA" fell afoul of exactly what the central dogma is about

I don't understand how you arrive at this — while it's true they almost certainly do not "corrupt your DNA", the reasons have nothing to do with the central dogma as Crick conceived it, since information flow from RNA to DNA is not addressed by it.
Cmon, I sure hope with 750 millions they managed to hire artist to make ships. That’s maybe a few dozen or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In 10 years with that amount of money surely they could hire very talented people to manage development of server backend. The state in which the game is currently is a disgrace. It should be done or close to the end, not still at the beginning where you’re trying to make everything persistent. The infrastructure is what takes the most time and what you build first, like a house foundation. Instead they made the roof and the wall, sold them with lots of promise and now are working on foundations. I sure wouldn’t trust or buy from a such a contractor.
That's an appeal to authority, and not an effective one. Jeff Dean doesn't have a good track record in chip design.
What is noninterference, and how do we enforce it? (2015)
Alright I’ve built them into the language. Here’s the example code using what you asked for, as far as I understand at the moment:
class Person {
init(name, age) {
this.name = name
this.age = age
}

func doesNotUnderstand(method, args) {
"Person " + this.name + " does not have " + method
}

}

func greet(person: Person) {
match person {
{name: "Alice", age: 30} => "Hi Alice, you're 30."
{name, age} if age > 18 => "Hi " + name + ", you're an adult."
_ => "Hello there!"
}
}

macro log_call(func) {
`(println("Calling " + ${func}))
}

let alice = new Person("Alice", 30)
log_call(greet(alice)) # Expands to println and calls greet
Habits can change and transport habits will very likely change in near future (course of a human lifetime).

Already, for a few decades now, more humans live in urban settings rather those that live outside city bounds - the rising trend is for more energy efficient urban transport, in non US setiings that leads to improved mass transit and cheaper rates for lighter vehicles.

> Of course you can technically walk to anywhere that a car can go and more places besides.

Some of us actually do, no technicality required.
Completely untrue.

>In this game, the player does not shoot Israeli civilians, women, children, elderly, only soldiers.
Did you link the right video? This is an old Onion video about a NASA mission. Was it in there somewhere?
Definitely the case. Apologies if my comment is overly negative. I hope the next few decades will be better and that this was rock bottom. In any case, some people have had a great time in this industry even after 2010s but I think a larger amount of people have had a horrible time.

I guess it's not the 80s anymore. Those were the good times.

The game focuses on the idea of the idea of a space game which turns out to be what people really pay for, ie space real estate, ie limited edition ships, ie works of art.

Another POV is that it would be much simpler to have waited 10 years and developed NFTs in 2021 instead.

If you have the skills to hype an aesthetic experience for a broad audience; and you’re so cynical as to not really do anything; just make a shitcoin. Make an NFT. Doing all this other work is a huge waste of time.

> The fact that Rust developers who are interfacing with the Linux project seem completely unaware of the downsides of RAII, reminds me of when the US ambassador to Denmark thought that their collaborators biked to work because they were too poor to own a car.

I would imagine kernel developers working with Rust are quite aware of the downsides of RAII when it comes to large synchronous drops, and aware of arena allocation patterns. They are also likely aware of both arenas that run destructors on drop, and arenas that don't, and the relative merits of each. They are also likely aware of arenas that you can garbage collect over time, as enabled via generational index patterns.

The good news is that if profiling shows this to be a bottleneck, it is relatively easy to safely switch code that does allocations to using an arena instead (you'd have to add a lifetime parameter to everything tied to the arena).

RAII remains a great way to solve many real problems in systems programming, and banning tools which enable it on the off chance that you'd run into performance issues with synchronous drops, without any data to back it up, doesn't seem wise.
Wow, that's amazing. I've recently been having some mild trouble with base64. Just put it in the address bar, of course!!
> does it really benefit society for their fortunate authors to sit back and get rich resting on their laurels?

In my opinion, it doesn't. In creative and entertainment industries, the idea of practically indefinite royalties has been normalized, but no other industries has this*. For example, it would be strange to continue paying a construction company after your home has been built.

*As far as I can remember. I'm open to correction here.
"I'm not sure what counter-terror objective blocking this game actually has."

This, plus, what authority does Counter Terrorism Command over commercial enterprise in the UK?

Can any police force in the UK just arbitrarily block things for sale?

The article provides the CT comment:

"The CTIRU works closely with a range of technology, social media and online service providers, but we do not comment on specific content or any communication we may have with specific platforms or providers."

But nowhere do they state an actual law being broken, or law under which CT command can block things for sale.

I'm not a lawyer, so maybe this one is obvious, but this looks like authoritarian overreach.
I've always wondered why not just fork Linux and add Rust there then keep it in sync with mainline and maintain it long time to demonstrate that it's a viable strategy and there's enough volunteers willing to actually spend their time instead of turning the Rust part of the kernel into abandonware when there's so few developers available, before trying to get it supported upstream?
A lot of people are used to the extra salt in cheap food. If restaurant food isn't salty enough, they will complain. Chefs are just adjusting to what their most vocal customers complain about.

My co-workers are from the whole spectrum. We can sit at a dinner with identical dishes. Me and one more has troubles eating because it's so insanely salty. A couple think it's a bit over salted but very good. One is adding more salt. How are you to please everyone?

I prefer to add salt myself.
Both a survival horror could be set in camp - survive for as long as possible/eventually escape.

Absolutely.

There's also absolutely zero sense that if there's any term based on the lifetime of the authors, that it should extend a single day after their death.

I'd definitely prefer a 20-30 year fixed term, but if it was going to be based on lifetime then it should only be until the death of the author.
> No way he would have done that without copyright.

Was his creation of his autobiography primarily motivated by money? I would assume not.

The whole social dynamic of this conversation is amazing. How fast complacency happened. In 2010 if you told me I could get a model to respond approximately as intelligently as a low intelligence human, I would be amazed. As a matter of perspective,I am still amazed.

At the same time I see such negative sentiment around the capabilities at their current limits.

We are reaching an era of commodified intelligence, which will be disruptive and surprising. Even the current limited models change the economics dramatically.
It’ll change over time, but had to start somewhere. I’ve got to run the cookbook through it and finish the ide for it.
I am curious how the long tail and changing of media consumption habits has devalued many of these characters. Mickey is Mickey and there's an entire company built on it of course, but my kids have literally no clue who Popeye is. They have never seen a Popeye cartoon and probably never will. When I was younger we didn't have nearly as much choice (2-3 channels with limited times for cartoons) - rather than Netflix or Youtube which effectively offers unlimited/fragmented options.

Additionally the main plot line of Popeye is effectively Popeye protecting Olive Oil from being assaulted by Bluto - not exactly modern cartoon material.
I mean if everyone agree but a few big companies, how is it possible that it has not yet been changed by politicians.

I’m not saying specifically USA but also Europe, I can’t see common people fighting over the right of author to hold intellectual properties for 70 years.

Haven’t been trials to shorten it somewhere, either USA or any other developed countries where it’s actually enforced ?
That made sense when Jeff Dean gave talks in 2020, 2021, and 2022. He is now responding to skepticism from the EDA community by unscholarly personal attacks and vague references to "many companies" using the work. He is beyond benefit of the doubt, and into the realm of probable cause.
They're closely related attempts to solve the same problem. The difference is - ironically - Laplace transforms are more rigorous, and don't leave as many loose ends.

Basically Laplace is a complete solution, while Heaviside's calculus wasn't.

It took about 100 years to work this out. Laplace's original work was early 19th century, but the transform didn't become widely used in engineering until after WWII.
The author of this is the VP of Community for Zig; his only professional experience, according to LinkedIn, is in similar advocacy roles. It's an incredibly bad look for the Zig community then, in my opinion, for him - somewhat sarcastically and disrespectfully ("oh no!", "I already have to waste way too much time for other slow software to load") - trying to school Asahi Lina on "writing performance-oriented software" when she's one of the most impressive software engineers in the public eye right now.

This is just a FUD-y hit piece on RAII. It, frankly, smacks of Dunning Kruger (I know, not statistically a real thing, but rhetorically useful): a writer way beyond his depth hears someone praise RAII, and out of ignorance and professional obligations launches an attack by linking some canned "RAII Bad" sources, not realizing the person they're attacking knows vastly more about...well, basically everything, than they do.

The complaints w.r.t. control center are effectively resolved on page two of the thread.

I expect Star Citizen is going to be one of those games that won't get tons and tons of new players (maybe double its total count right now? Is that a lot?) But the people that play it are dedicated and very, very interested in the experience that it brings.

So, perhaps you (for example) will never, ever be interested in playing the game for anywhere near the amount of time that would justify the cost of entry, but for the specific space exploration / worldbuilding experience that Star Citizen provides, and for the people that want exactly that, it was and is a fantastic game.
Imagine this: we have a group of friends and we’re having a good time. We all speak English. One or two guys invite some people who are always speaking in Klingon. They invite more and now a large amount of the group wants to have equal support in d&d and other activities for Klingon. They insist it’s a better language when it’s only just a different language, not better or worse. The English speakers are trying to stop the Klingon speakers from changing their group to something new that they don’t like (and not provably better).

Rust is Klingon. C is working fine and is the language everyone is already familiar with. If Rust was actually better, it would flow into the ground organically.

Being technically more memory safe doesn’t make people like it more. Proper tooling with C can prevent memory issues, taking away the main argument for rust.

In the end we don’t need any more of a reason to stop rust other than “we don’t like rust”.

Ask HN: Why is China subsidizing every step of manufacturing?
Western hardware startups on X/Twitter have been posting about how they are doing CNC + anodizing + transport of parts from China for prices that are close to the material costs of the part. The only reason this is possible is because the Chinese state is subsidizing every value adding step of manufacturing.

What I don't understand is what does the Chinese state get out of subsidizing my orders on cheap-chinese-cnc.cn and cheap-chinese-pcb.cn and why are other countries not doing it?
> It takes a large investment upfront and then pays out slowly

Does it really? Sure, timeless classics pay out over a long period of time but they are by far the exception. I'll wager that the vast majority of copyrighted works make the vast majority of their money in the first decade. So why do we need essentially perpetual copyright? (Essentially perpetual because almost none of the works created in my lifetime will ever pass out of copyright before I die)
I feel that the main thing that can change it is having a plethora of examples. Also, I think math has much better examples than programming.
since you are able to hire people, try to hire some that are more experienced than you and then learn from them while you work together. just be careful to check that they have a supportive attitude and not a competitive one.
I agree with your points, but as the original host of the site no longer is continuing to host it, I doubt they would be any more interested in what others do regarding it, but a lawsuit with a potential payday might motivate them. I broadly agree with you though.
I wonder how that would play with anti-cheat systems, if the system has known vulns.
> the vast majority of their money in the first decade. So why do we need essentially perpetual copyright?

I agree. I think OP's proposal of a fixed term of 25 years is more than reasonable. All I'm saying is that it should be inheritable and not based on when the author dies.
> If Rust was actually better, it would flow into the ground organically.

What would Rust flowing into the Linux kernel organically look like in your opinion?

On a similar note, I work in a non-English speaking country, but have developed a real bad habit of sticking to English when it comes to technical discussions (work or non-work). Mind you, this is an international company we work at, proficiency in English is expected (and often lackluster).

My colleagues don't appreciate this, and will poke fun at it from time to time. They're convinced I'm being obnoxious on purpose, despite me just spending 90% of my day interacting with English in English. It is only natural then that I keep thinking about things in English.

What you'll discover is that these colleagues of mine have two things in common: they're not anywhere nearly as immersed and proficient in English as I am despite working here for a decade, and that they're a bit of an old-timer jackass types.

This was not metaphor.
Regardless about the political discussion surrounding a billionaire owning a social media site, this has got to be the worst rebrand decision I've ever witnessed. I don't pretend to understand branding, but X has simply never clicked as an app or product name with me. Twitter had amazing, distinctive branding. I will probably always think of it as Twitter.
If you really want to, you can have a react app that is just static templates with no interactivity with a simple Node server that just called renderToString and all of a sudden react is just a backend templating framework. If you want to get really fancy you can then re-render specific components on the client side without re-rendering the entire page. You don't need NextJS to do this either, its very simple and straightforward and lets you use an entirely frontend toolchain to do everything.
They're not silent films in the classic cinematic history sense, but they're completely free of dialogue and fascinating to watch as dives into the richness of our human world: "Baraka" and The Qatsi Trilogy of three films (with superb music by Philip Glass to boot.

For Baraka at least, Roger Ebert summed it up nicely: "If man sends another Voyager to the distant stars and it can carry only one film on board, that film might be Baraka."
This is a very silly straw man.

RAII style is a syntax feature that doesn’t imply a specific semantics for how big the “resource” is, or how it’s allocated or freed. The only difference in Rust versus Zig is that Rust calls the de-allocator automatically and invisibly, and Zig requires allocation use an allocator parameter and an explicit call to free. Neither forces you to allocate batches at a time, nor do they prevent batching or use of arenas. To me it seems just as easy to allocate MyStruct[100] in either language.

AmigaOS has no memory protection whatsoever. If your program crashes, so does the entire machine. And it will possibly bring your hard drive with it, too.

Not unworkable, but not the most relaxed environment for fast’n’fun cowboy coding. You typically have to reboot a lot.
This is my fourth year. I'm using Go while being surprised how inadequate it is for this kind of problem. Standard libraries lack basic data structures and often Go is too slow for a compiled language!
> Proper tooling with C can prevent memory issues, taking away the main argument for rust.

This is not true, despite decades of research and billions of dollars poured into static analysis of C programs. Rust solves this by making programmers put pervasive annotations into their code, and even more importantly by making programmers like the fact that they have to put pervasive annotations into their code. Rust today, without additional tooling, delivers a better memory safety story than C static analysis researchers could ever dream about.
