It's surprising to me that the prosecutor is allowed to essentially insinuate crimes to influence the jury, without the need to prove them. That seems to undermine the process because it creates a "there's smoke so there must be fire" mentality for the jury.

There are countries where you cannot own a gun legally. Many in those countries see the benefits of giving up the "freedom" to own a gun for the greater good.

Well, that’s one reason they are hard to build. Neutron flux is also a big reason.
That's something else, thats for directly connecting to Peppol, which few business will do (mostly very large businesses, or financial companies).

Most businesses will use a accounting system anyway, and most of those will support Peppol out-of-the-box. So instead (or in addition) to sending an e-mail, the invoice will be sent directly into their accounting system (and their bank, if they choose).

Really, it simplifies things a lot! No more punching/copying of stuff from PDFs into your online bank. The cost is not really high, just a bit annoying (typically some euros a month + a few euros pr invoice).

(I probably could have found a cheaper provider but I don't send many invoices so it is ok).

I actually like the idea of using web technology for desktop apps. However, one problem with electron is that a lot of apps are just a website stuck in an electron container. And I don't see the point of downloading hundreds of MB for a separate, usually outdated, browser that can only open a single website.

As a user, I generally do not like electron apps, and often prefer to use the website, or a native app, for several reasons:

- electron apps tend to use a lot of RAM, for a single app, on decent hardware, it's not too bad, but with a handful of electron apps, it starts to add up

- contrary to what this article says, I do care about bundle size. For me mostly because it takes longer to install and update. But for people with a slower connection or smaller hard drive it would be even more of an issue

- every electron app (usually) has its own version of electron bundled. Besides bloating the size, and memory usage, often the version of electron is out of date. If all electron apps used a single version of electron that was installed once and kept up to date, that would tremendously improve electron in my opinion. In fact, I think that is the advantage of using a webview. Not performance, but having a single shared renderer that is consistently updated.

Don't be fooled by powerful people who claim to be libertarian, but are actually only interested in promoting freedom for themselves while denying the same to others.

Your second paragraph is setting up a false dichotomy. It's not the corporation xor the state. Fundamentally, corporations as we know them are creatures of the state - government chartered legal entities, running on the government's legal system, with government granted liability shields. But the main point is that where the nominal state disappears, the corporation(s) step into the power vacuum and become the inescapable government. To be able to take your business elsewhere or create your own competitor, you need individual rights. While the underlying physics supports this directly for some abilities, for others you need coordinated collective action. This often takes place through the state, meaning that blanket calls to dismantle parts of the current government can often serve as cover for enabling newer less-constrained government. Think yin-yang and NP/Turing completeness circular reductions, not towering software builds.
It doesn’t seem to be EU-mandated? Only Italy and Belgium have it mandatory, according to [0], in other countries it’s only relevant for B2G.

Outside that Wikipedia entry, I have also heard nothing about it becoming required in Germany (we are mainly B2C, but do some B2B and B2G), here we are instead moving forward with X-Rechnung/ZUGFeRD/Factur-X, which is an XML standard that can also be embedded in PDFs, and doesn’t require certification or anything.

You could just as well talk about the computing power of every microbe.

Or all the quarks that make up the Earth.

Ants don’t even appear on either graph.

But the flexibility, coordination & leverage of information used to increase its flexibility, coordination & leverage further is what I am talking about.

I.e. intelligence.

A trillion trillion trillion transistors wouldn’t mean anything, acting individually.

But when that many work together with one purpose without redundancy we can’t imagine the problems it will see & solve.

Quarks, microbes, and your ants are not progressing like that. What was there most recent advance? How long did that take? Is it a compounding advance?

Growing intelligence doesn’t mean lesser intelligences don’t still exist.

We happen to compete based on intelligence, so the impacts of smarter machines have a particularly low latency for us.

4. Why fork puppet instead of contributing to ansible or salt?
Visitor objects are needed when you want, at runtime, to decide what code to execute based on the types of two parameters of a function (regular OOP virtual dispatch can only do this based on the type of one argument, the one before the dot). While you can model this in different ways, there is nothing in "plain" Lisp (say, R7RS Scheme) that makes this particularly simple.

Common Lisp does have a nicer solution to this, in the form of CLOS generic functions. In CLOS, methods are defined based on the classes of all arguments, not just the first one like in traditional object systems. Combined with inheritance, you can implement the whole thing with the minimal amount of code. But it's still an OOP system designed specifically for this.
Creating more value than you capture has ways been the jam.
>Partially true. But look at many of the rust belt towns now. High unemployment, opioid addictions. Has that been a fair outcome for them? Is it ok to leave them behind in exchange for some of these "higher value jobs"?

They'll need to re-invent themselves. The entire country can't be tailored to save a few towns in the rust belt. I know those states hold a lot of power because they're swing states.

>Exactly my point. It has never been fair play. Hence the traditional approach to evaluating tariffs does not always work.

That we agree. It was never a free market. It was always who had the biggest guns and point them at people standing in the way of your economic goals.

>Not entirely true. Many of those workers who would traditionally work in factories are now in low wage service jobs with little job security or prospect for earnings growth.

Seems like you've never been inside a factory making lower value goods. You're thinking of coushy factories making Mercedes Benz. I'm thinking of factories mass producing pens. You know. The other stuff Trump wants to tariff.

Maybe tariffs can work better for America. But your reasons are unconvincing.
> It's always struck me as odd that the United States - a nation that is packed with far more Christians than Canada - doesn't shape its system of incarceration to be more inline with Christian values and the teachings of Jesus.

Canada didn't have Prohibition to the extent that the US did, which in turn led to the rise and financing of organized crime. All the rest of it fell out of that: Organized crime was violent and ruthless, so people started demanding oppressive laws and harsh penalties to deal with it.

One of the major problems with this is that the cycle is reinforced by law enforcement. You sensibly get rid of prohibition, but then the mob is still around and starts looking for a new source of funding, so you get more extortion rackets etc. Then a law enforcement bureaucracy is created to deal with it, but long-term the mob was going to die out without prohibition anyway and the law enforcement efforts just speed it up a bit. Except now you have a law enforcement bureaucracy with nothing to do, so they lobby to recreate Prohibition in the form of the Controlled Substances Act, which reconstitutes the mob in the form of the drug cartels.

But now instead of saying "prohibition failed, let's repeal it" they say "we need more resources" -- institutions try to preserve the problem to which they are they solution. So the Feds fight any attempts to legalize drugs because it would put them out of a job, but as long as there is prohibition there is organized crime, and organized crime is violent and terrible and a ratchet to ever-harsher penalties.

Type systems like in Rust may introduce their own complexities, but they also help you tackle the complexity of bigger programs if wielded correctly.

Typesystems can be complex to use, but in the end they constrain the degrees of freedom exposed by any given piece of code. With a type systems only very specific things can happen with any part of your code, most of which the programmer may have had in mind — without a type system the number of ways any piece of code could act within the program is way larger. Reducing the possible states of your program in the case of programming error is a reduction of complexity.

Now I don't say type systems may introduce their own complexity, but in the case of Rust the complexity exposed is what systems programmers should handle. E.g. using different String types to signify to the programmer that your OS will not allow all possible strings as file names is the appropriate amount of complexity. Knowing how your program handles these is again reducing complexity.

Imagine you wrote a module in a language where you don't handle these. Every now and then the module crashes specifically because it came across a malformed filename. Or phrased differently: The program does more than you intended, namely crashing when it encounters certain filenames. Good luck figuring that out and preventing it from happening again. With a type system the choice had to be explicitly made during programming already. Less things you code can do, less complexity.

Many developers confuse complexity of the internal workings of a program with the complexity of the program exposed at the interface. These are separate properties that could become linked, but shouldn't.

You might find this hard to believe, but I find that helping other people is genuinely rewarding all by itself. And it’s rewarding in a way that money can’t buy.

For lyrics, I currently use Google Keep and hugely resent myself for it.

What I want is to be able to write lyrics as easily as plaintext, but with manually assignment of meter, rhythm etc, while also being able to "fork" lyrics at a point and be able to work on different threads, keep track of alternative lyrics on a phrase level too. Being able to sync that up with some basic music notation (e.g. keys and percussion) would get me 90% of the way to where I want to be when it comes to writing at the computer. I think I have a coherent design for such a software in my head but am unsure if it really is what I need or is just a whimsical distraction from not writing good enough lyrics yet. Would be interested to hear if anyone's seen anything like this (can't say I've exhaustively looked).

> I wouldn't recommend this approach for actual businesses, mostly because devs will already know React and thus be more productive. But I think it's genuinely a viable approach for building web apps.

That's just the thing. Businesses chose a specific stack because the campaigning for that stack won out amongst any competing stack, not because that stack most closely aligned with their requirements and needs.

Boring Anecdote Time:

I do contract work. All current frameworks have a velocity for new API/endpoint creation (with DB schema modification) of between 4hrs - 8hrs (spread out over 3 - 4 PRs)[1], assuming all the PRs come back with LGTM.

My home-grown b/end framework cuts this down to between 5min - 20min (one PR only) for the same API/endpoint addition.

However, I only use my home-grown b/end stack for full webapp development, when a client wants a new system, and only when that client is not a technology company, or doesn't have an in-house development team.

That's because most businesses are using what their tech teams mandate, which IME is either Java, C# or (not as common around here) a Python or Node b/end.

Once(!) I had a dev manager agree that velocity for MVP and velocity for maintenance is a higher priority than conforming to any of the current b/end languages, which included but was not limited to C++, Java, Kotlin, Python, Node, React, Ruby, MSSQL, MySQL ... etc.

A few months later, on a call with him he expressed how fast his dev team was iterating on my stack when extending the system. Currently they are stuck on a lot of legacy that has to be extended, but they are definitely thinking about b/end in a new way now.

I've never seen a case where inheritance was superior to composition with a shared interface. Worst case with composition, it just returns the injected class's method directly. The beauty is that this really shines when you apply the liskov substitution principle.
Genuinely curious: when people submit URLs like this to HN - rather than say a specific link to an article or blog post - without comment or actually submitting responses to the conversation, are they just posting it to say 'hey, take a look at this if you haven't heard of it'?
