> In all seriousness, if you are sticking with Windows at this point, why? Is it just the fact your other software doesn't work on another OS?

That’s not really a minor point. It’s a big deal for people who do things other than use a browser, text editor, and terminal.

Even for certain CAD software I use that has Mac and Windows versions, the Windows version feels so much more performant and responsive. I’ll switch to Windows for anything serious.

Also, YMMV, but in the past 5 or so years my Windows workstation has felt less buggy and more stable than my Macs. I’ve dealt with a lot of annoying quirks on the Mac over the years where the only solution is to wait for the next update and hope it’s fixed. Even today, accessing network file shares is incredibly buggy on Mac in certain cases.
Enjoy your featureless spam bucket.
This is a comment I've seen a number of times, but I really don't agree with. All C is constrained by the compiler that you are using, and there is no way to ensure code written today will work exactly as expected 20 years down the road. The only thing constant in the tech industry is that change is omnipresent, and using computers means adapting to that constant change.
They should hire English teachers to fix their grammar. “Will hire no more engineers.” Wtf
> Arexx and my 2400 baud modem

Arexx was fun back in the day. A nice scripting language for the time.
I used to, then my roommate got quite a shock one day, so I don't anymore, lol.
Surprised to see no mention of how this impacts people who purposefully write scam messages poorly to filter out people are less likely to get conned. Curious if this starts making traditional scammers less efficient.
An example of the difference between being independent vs third party.

Who mostly pays them sets the rules.
One catch though is that this can only be installed on a single PC (and there's online activation, so it will actually check). So if you have a desktop and a laptop, you'll have to pay double, whereas subscription covers up to 5 devices, if I remember correctly.
> Unless, that is, I agree to work on a comparable solution for the university focused on solving the underlying problem I was building HuskySwap for. They would presumably own the IP and were clear that I wouldn’t be compensated. But it was implied that they would then remove the hold, allowing me to graduate.

This is extortion.
It means you can resell Microsoft products with some reasonable level of margin. To be a Silver or Gold partner direct with Microsoft (vs 'indirect' partners through a distributor like Ingram) you're probably collecting that margin on US$10,000+ per month, possibly much more.
One of the first things to be turned off are such autocorrection annoyances, whereever. Instead of constantly having the writing flow interrupted by such overzealous tools, it is much more preferable to spellcheck a document once the text composition is complete.
So, uh, do you think they've driven productivity up 30%? ;) ;) ;)
Imagine plumbers charged hundreds a month for toilets, came in once a year to rip out perfectly functional ones to put in new ones, and told you that it's a deal because of "value add".

Seriously, I don't know how we let software pull the wool over our eyes.
Couldn't find it in the guidelines. Can you quote the relevant part?

> Even mid 19th century English is noticeably more difficult to read, and that's saying nothing about the 16th century English of Shakespeare.

You perceive this because you read modern English; you don’t perceive similar differences in Latin because (I presume) you’re not fluent in Latin. I studied mostly Classical Latin, which yields pretty much the same experience when reading Ecclesiastical or Old Latin as modern English speakers have when reading Shakespearean English.

Or in other words: there are foundational shifts that only become legible once the language itself is legible. The fact that I could retcon “x-ray” into Latin today does not make the version of Latin that Livy spoke uniquely valuable to science.

All in all, I’d give us a better chance of preserving the sum total of human knowledge, including all versions of Latin, in fastidiously translating them into today’s dominant languages. This will be true of English too, whenever English stops being the lingua franca.

High profile abuse allegations are frequently false.

to make such an outrageous claim you should follow it up with more than one example dealing with college kids… bill cosby, weinstein, dany masterson… vast majority of high profile abuse allegations turn out true, not false…

Salesforce definitely makes it easy to screw yourself with customization. It’s a very complex beast.
Goddamn. I looked them up and there's clearly an ingroup meaning that went over my head. I was hoping for a Meetup competitor that wasn't enshittified on day one.
GitHub Experiencing Major Outages
I would have included a link, but githubstatus dot com has been submitted in the past.
Evernote used to be a one-of-a-kind product. It made a lot of key people filthy rich, and then it sort of lost traction.

I was listening to Gergely Orosz’s podcast[1] on Bending Spoons and found out that Evernote’s codebase was a complete mess and beyond repair.

Definitely doesn’t hurt to get opinions when the other side has hundreds of resources and billions of dollars.
Neither any of the articles I looked up nor his obituaries name the illness so I assume he wanted that kept private. Probably not how I'd handle it, but to each their own.
That was an incredible amount of very talented hacking to get that to work on a machine where everything was stacked against you. Very impressive.
> Is it so hard to believe that some people might value the opportunity to play online games with less cheaters than retaining the control of their PCs?

Hard to believe? Absolutely.

This issue is just like privacy. It's one of those important issues where people not only refuse to care but actually look down on you as a loony if you do. They will suddenly start caring a lot when the corporations are fully entrenched and start exploiting them for profit.

The problem is by that point there will be nothing they can do about it. They gave up control of the machines to play games. They will not be able to do a thing when the machines start extracting profit out of them. They are no longer in control.

> Would it be better if same software was running on strictly controlled devices like game consoles?

For some interpretations of "better". Consoles are a huge waste. They are all perfectly good computers which could do so much more. At least dedicated gaming machines at least keep the damage contained. I said this in my original comment.

> If so what if some people treat their PCs effectively as mainly specialized gaming devices?

I have no trouble believing Windows users think that way. If you use Windows, it's because you do not care.

I seriously doubt someone who cared enough about computers to install and learn Linux will enjoy watching his omnipotent general purpose system get turned into a glorified gaming appliance just because corporations aren't happy about the fact he could theoretically use the system's immense power against them.

> Let’s not get silly.. what makes you think I’m doing that?

The words "moral right" gave me that impression.

What gives these corporations the moral right to tell me what I can or can't do on my computer? The whole idea is comical. If I want to cheat, I will cheat. They can only hope that I choose not to. That's a truth they just need to accept. If they won't we'll make them accept it.
Ah, you're correct that your submission never made the front page (I just checked). Sorry for getting that wrong! I was describing a common pattern and wrongly assumed that this was a case of it.

It doesn't change the important point, though, which is that your submission was downranked because the flags won over the upvotes. It just means that the flags happened while the story was on /newest rather than the frontpage. Actually that is is an even stronger community response.
Cool. BTW, you may want to not assume something is impossible before asking questions on the Nim Forum (https://forum.nim-lang.org/) or their discord IRCs. An awful lot is possible with this-or-that pragma or macro, but discovery of features & approaches is an eternal challenge with docs (in many realms, really, not even "just prog.langs").
i just launched a website a month ago to sell sweet potatoes online and i ran a bunch of google ads. now i have a b2b revenue stream selling sweet potatoes to medical diagnostic test manufacturers.

please, with the original snark style from your comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42632061, tell me more about how it is a waste of my time to find businesses to do business with my brand new business and instead just find a stable job?
This is so bizarre to me that I'm not sure if I understand it correctly. They soft lock him out of UW system which will get him expelled for having an idea for an app for trading spots in classes and implementing a demo with fake data and using the token they provided him with to download data that is public already? And then they try to blackmail him with a promise of restoring system access to do unpaid compelled work for them?
Doesn't matter how much slower gecko is when most of what chrome is doing is loading ads.
This. Should be a long German word for the unaccountable cost delta/savings?/increase? from digitizing and then maintaining APIs and such into at least 2038. Maybe AI knows what it is; I'll ask and get back to y'allz!
Well, you've pissed off a lot of people and I assure you that many are thinking the same thing I am. It makes Altman look more guilty and it makes you look complicit in covering that up. I'm actually surprised at how sociopathic the features of this site are. I can't think of anywhere else on the internet that's so clearly manipulated.
Not to mention the fact that if it were so egregious, then why does the university want the creator's work or some modification of it?
It's good advice anyway. You have to try pretty hard to end up worse off for saving money. Much of what we're going through was experienced in the 70s, and those people lived through it. Even if things really fell apart, order would probably be restored within a decade. Lots of undesirable changes could happen as a result of a crisis, but it could also lead to positive outcomes like a renewed focus on the country's self-sufficiency.
Beside Evernote which I never used I like the word enpoopification which has nicer ring to it than enshittification.

I see just so much potential to it. It could be linkedIn profiles: Leader|Innovator|Enpooper . Enpoopies awards/badges on forums for questions or blogs like "How can/did we replace aging RabbitMQ setup with Kubernetes-Kafka-Cluster"
For $129 a year I get:

- Office apps for all of my devices - Macs, Windows, iPhone, iPad and web

- 1 TB of cloud storage

And then I get both each for up to 6 users.

Dropbox’s 2TB storage plan by itself is $120 a year.

GSuite is okay and it’s our corporate standard. But it is nowhere near as good as Office

Using crackhouse laws to target rave promoters killed raves in the US: https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=94397&page=1 The RAVE act that followed formalized the gray area use of those earlier crackhouse laws.

All of the rest of what you're saying killed raves is a result of this crackdown.

There are wonderful texts by people who didn't rape minors or advocate for its legalization(although arguably the latter is an opinion, while the former is a crime).

Just sayin'
Thanks. I help when I can.
If it had 40+ points why wouldn't it make it to the front page? Do you see why this would be annoying to say the least to someone? I also don't believe you that it got tons of flags while on /new. You've already lied to me about my post making the front page and that my upvotes aren't censored.
It seems like crowds of 50,000 people want this enough to regularly pay for it, subsidising other people’s education in the process.
In this case, it's not so much that it's some big top secret thing, but that it genuinely is something friends invite their other IRL friends to. I brought it up because it was relevant here, but it's not something exactly advertised. As a practical matter, the facilities can only host a specific number of people, and it's already the case that there's always a waiting list for tickets.

(It's not directly a Burner event either, although with a lot of East Bay attendees, there's organically a large portion of people who go to both.)
I'm not sure what you're trying to imply with your first line. Because your earlier post did have a mention of translation, but you also said it used virtualization and hypervisors.

WSL1 does translate many syscalls. Others it implements itself. It does not virtualize or hypervize. It does not emulate linux. WSL2 emulates/virtualizes/hypervizes, but WSL1 and WSL2 use completely different technology stacks at their core.

The translator is running inside the kernel as a driver.

If your company hires someone to speak tagalog, they become part of the company, and your company now speaks tagalog.

Windows supports linux binaries in the same way that it supports flash drives.
A human summary would say " This smells like BS". This article though smells legit. This is an actual problem that it doesn't seem intelligent enough to handle.
Involving lawyers doesn't automatically mean you are going to court. Going to court is expensive, yes.

Most issues can be settled out of court for much cheaper. A good lawyer can help you make that happen.
Surely they could refer the enquiry to the bar association or something in this jurisdiction.

How would the lawyer even know, without conversation, that there was a conflict?
When lawyers are paid hourly to talk to each other on behalf of their clients, sometimes the bill can get sky high if not managed.
Maybe it just isn't optimized for Safari, but it was very sluggish the moment I opened it on my M4 Pro MacBook, which isn't promising.
You're talking past my point. I understand there's cynicism at multiple levels.

The cynicism about AI's capabilities is well understood, we're at the peak of the hype cycle. People are selling AI across the board, but the reality will fall short of the sales pitch in innumerable ways across the board whether that be programmer productivity or anything else.

Then there's the meta cynicism about the sales pitches of AIs, reinforced my CEOs speaking to wall street about how AI will enable staff reductions. The rank and file is understandbly very angry about this, coupled with the understanding by technical folks that AI is far from being able to replace the function of actual deep-thinking humans. This is when the temptation to minimize the value of executives and "call their bluff" comes in. But here is where you need a dose of reality. Executives aren't stupid as you think, they don't get paid what they do for no reason, and despite the bad and anti-humanitarian decisions they make in the name of shareholder, they actually can't be replaced by AI. Both executives and boards understand this and so it's not really a topic of discussion. You are free to disagree with this of course, but at some point its just toothless wishful thinking.
How were said student(s) even caught? I am assuming someone spoke too loudly or shared too much, but I'd be lying if I said I was not hoping for some kind of technical solution.
Almost everyone in California felt uneasy about it after the 2018-2020 fires. In 2021 the governor signed a retroactive law that allowed nonviolent offenders serving less than 8 years to expunge their records if they served as firefighters while incarcerated. I’d prefer they get paid at least minimum wage anyway, but they’re better off than most other prisoners because the expungement means their background checks can come back clean for any job, not just firefighting.
You're seeing memory fragmentation which I would expect not to improve
Yea, I get the hesitance to invest in this. Nobody is going to select/admit reasons like "Because flagging is a mega-downvote and I don't like this story getting attention," even if it's the real reason. We don't know how accurate or actionable Slashdot's drop-down choice moderation was, either. Even if people are honest about their intentions, what is actionable? Not much I guess.
While at university I had a similar interaction. When the main university IT services team wanted to roll out a replacement to the student portal with a bunch of irrelevant features I mocked up a simple site with the things we actually wanted on it. Later on I re-implemented our students union website, again providing more useful information, like venue schedules and opening hours.

Both times we came under scrutiny for the possibility that we might be handling student data in ways that the university couldn't control, and mostly, that we might be taking passwords on behalf of users.

The first was just a mockup, and while the second initially had full university auth against their open LDAP server, we quickly removed that in favour of our own auth, because it was very apparent that the password input being on our domain was a dealbreaker for the university.

By doing this, and by communicating carefully about what we were doing and what we were not doing, where the boundaries were, and how we handled data, we managed to win them around to some productive discussions. Most of the people we spoke to on university staff who were involved in this were not at the technical level to be able to understand, for example, having an unsecured LDAP server that we could auth against, and were only interested in the policy of whether we were allowed to do it.

It's a common failure mode of software engineers to assume that because something is not technically disallowed, even though it could be, that it must therefore be allowed. This is not true.

What's not clear with this project is whether the university have a fundamental disagreement with the idea of a student project providing services, or if someone has panicked that a non-approved system might be receiving passwords from students. The former is obviously ridiculous, universities should be open to this sort of innovation, especially from their students. But the latter is understandable and a fairly reasonable response, but one that does need careful handling by the student to navigate well.
This is the most accurate comment. This is how Salesforce works. That said there revenue continues to grow and they continue to pivot to the new trend in their marketing. The underlying business and most of the software they are actually selling remains the same just wrapped up in different and new marketing each year. It works well as a strategy.
Twitter, Substack and Bluesky is where journalists are too right?
This doesn’t even make sense… why is you rebuilding it for them even part of the discussion? You built a demo of something they didn’t like, so you took it down. That should be the end of it.

Saying you need todo it for free is bonkers. Students who work in the cafeteria get paid…

And the gap between “a greenfield project” versus rebuilding the app in their infrastructure is so huge… This type of app would take 6 months to build minimum. So insane.

If you only have a few months left, you will barely get out of the initial project scoping meetings talking to all of the various departments (legal, it, hr, etc etc)
Yes, it is not necessarily a racist view to assume that people who look different have more in common than not. If American doctors conduct research on a group of people within their own demographics, and that does not apply to all of humanity for some unknown reason, that doesn't mean they are racists. It's a vague guideline anyway with many exceptions such as bodybuilders and people with unusual proportions.
Yes, it made me think about animals panicking so much before slaughter that they often have heart attacks. And dairy cows who have their babies slaughtered who cry for weeks. Maybe these are apocryphal stories, but we are very much trained to believe we shouldn’t anthropomorphise animals. I hope that we are able to grow meat in a way without suffering as soon as possible.

Mainly the bureaucratic nature of it. Preserving HN's minimalism has been a priority because it's the kind of thing that's so easily lost; like a frog boiling itself.
Most likely the software engineer would be aggressively prosecuted and harshly sentenced (assuming they survive long enough to see a courtroom) while nothing substantial would improve for any of the other software engineers.
Nationally there’s FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, who (despite a recent name change) are focused on campus free speech rights.
Rapists. Originally it was music lovers loving music. That authentic fun attracted lots of women, which attracted lots of rapists.
In the US, they were never fined for bundling IE with Windows and there was never a browser choice screen mandate.

And anyone can download an alternate browser and looking at Chrome’s market share, most do.

What would you prefer? That a browser doesn’t come with Windows and users going to an ftp site to download one like the 90s?

And to a first approximation, no one wants Linux on their desktop.
I like Lay, it's one of the few math books anyone can read cover to cover, prove every statement and solving every problem, with no experience. It's like the Thomas' calculus equivalent linear algebra. If you do the work you'll get an easy A and will have built a great foundation for further engineering or theoretical study.
What is the rationale for this? The quarterly numbers for all these companies are really good, their stock price is at an all time high. So what is prompting these extreme steps? Salesforce is not the only company, most every company is this way. What do these companies know that we don’t? Is there a major correction coming?
