Having since read the 'article' (read: puff piece), the above predictions are 4.5/5 (giving a generous half point for the one line mentioning Epstein).

So why am I flagged? Is it really just the opinion of "cranks" to want better than this now?

Has nearly everyone in the tech community really forgotten the decades of Gates cynically crushing promising businesses? Did I mess a memo where HN prohibits calling out puff pieces now?

Well, even the DoJ took issue with it, eventually. It took a lot of broken dreams to get there though, and
I never really got into that, since by that time I really couldn't get into TV shows anymore - or indeed, for pretty well all of my adult life. And yet, your note reminds me that the landline phone network is pretty well dead as the dodo at this point, and the flip phones that once evoked Star Trek communicators to my generation are now, for the most part, firmly in the past. For me (over 60 now), it's quite a bit of future shock, even as I saw it happen around me. First the pay phones disappeared, then the value proposition of a landline steadily degraded until VoIP (or just porting out to a cell carrier) was a better option.

It just reminds me once again that high tech has short horizons. If you found a functional example of a 1980s or 90s cell phone, there are no networks for it to use. That nifty, futuristic StarTAC is a guaranteed brick today unless it was a GSM model (and you'd better hope someone still supports 2G on its supported bands, and that you can find a battery for it).
Same with me: PBS kids all allowed. I ended up liking Arthur and Curious George (cartoons are better than the books of both), and despising Caillou.

I think it's crazy how an individual can design a PCB and get it made in a couple weeks. You gotta have the skill but yeah and prototype a product, launching is something else (regulation/scale) but yeah. I'm enjoying being able to just buy parts and make stuff.
Very cool!

I'm a big fan of the trend of on-premise deployable software standardizing on Kubernetes/Helm as a deployment method. From my perspective as an external freelancers it provides a nice hand-off point to the internal IT/devops team.

Looking forward to trying this out on future projects!

I'm wondering how this relates to the glasskube package manager? Obviously you just launched, and maybe you are still in the discover phase, but is the general idea that this is the enterprisey incarnation of the glasskube ideas, and that it will over time gain similar features as the existing glasskube?
I was born in the UK in the late sixties. So my formative exposure to cyberspace was

- Staying up late with a cassette recorder to record Basicode [1] programs broadcast after-hours on BBC radio, to run on my Vic 20. Somewhere out there was where this stuff was coming from.

- Ten minutes on a Prestel [2] terminal at a university science fair in 1984ish. It blew my mind that the thing on the screen wasn't just in the box on the table, and it was coming to me on wires.

- Downloading public domain software onto floppies from the PDSA archive at Lancaster Uni using Kermit on an Apollo DN300 and an X25 PAD to access JANET [3].

- Reading Omni magazine, which sometimes felt like plugging your brain into a consensual hallucination.

- Later on reading imported copies of Wired and Mondo 2000, which was like having a mental VPN into some other place where the tech lived and where it was always California sunshine.

Good times

The comments are pretty interesting. There was a discussion about how different they were trying to make the public image about their tech look compared to their actual usage - supposedly to entice more engineers to join.

I think its interesting to attach any company prominently to a database technology since theoretically there would be varied use cases across an org like uber which would likely want different technologies depending on those use cases. Of course they might just have 50 other articles like this for all the other tech they use.

Oh I was thinking of adding the custom CRBN or Carb or whatever as class aliases to the original CarbonImmutable class in config/app.php. I actually haven't used aliases yet though, so I'm going by the assumption that they "just work".

I've had problems in other projects too where I wanted to disallow use of classes like Carbon after declaring a child class that overrides certain behaviors, so that the code is more future-proof for newly onboarded developers who don't know the pitfalls yet. In C/C++ I would just do:

#define Carbon "Please don't use Carbon, use CRBN or CRBNMUT instead."

So attempts to use Carbon would show up as compiler errors. But there are no #defines in PHP, so I haven't figured out a way to do that yet :-/ Maybe I could declare Carbon as a constant somewhere or something. But I don't think there's a way to undefine constants for times when the original word is needed, like with #undef.

I'm happy to get into a 2A debate (as funny as it sounds it is a hobby of mine!) but it seems like a tangent for this thread specifically. I'll just say that this definition of "militia" is completely incorrect in the historical context in which it was written. The next thing you'll say is that "well-regulated" means regulated by the government which is also 100% incorrect.

Militia is the people - it's everyone, individually. Well-regulated means well-functioning, fit for purpose. In order for individual people to be fit for militia/defensive service, they cannot be deprived of their right to make, purchase, own, use, and/or carry firearms.

My favorite quote related to this:

"I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people." - George Mason, address to Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788

"changing them out would destroy the harmony of the cathedral’s design"

The cathedral's design doesn't have any harmony. It was built over centuries, in different styles. None of the stained glass is ancient; it was all destroyed in the Revolution. They were replaced in the 19th century, along with most of the grotesques.

The Parisians have a long tradition of hating new things and then coming to embrace them. But this doesn't sound like that. Reading between the lines, this has little to do with either art or architecture, and more with politics, and character assassination.

It would be good to have the traditional row about old versus new. Too bad this isn't it.
The idea of Hell most popular is the “eternal conscious torment” view, which gives us the “don’t be bad or you’ll burn in Hell forever” perspective. That’s fairly new, and several other interpretations are just as biblical as it, if not more. Your quote for instance doesn’t explain what happens after the weeping and gnashing of teeth, some believe you become reunited with the Lord, others believe you are eliminated from existence.

I don't care what your global consensus is. Jews are entitled to their homeland, just like any other nationality, like Belguim or Paraguay. To say otherwise is hatred.

You misunderstood what I meant about prices. My point is prices compress everyone's preferences and ability to pay into a single scalar. It seems we can do better no?
When I was at a big tech, the interpretation by their lawyers was that by running AGPL, we will have to open source everything in the network to users. The problem is in the definition of "Modification" - Per [AGPL](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html#:~:text=To%20%...):

> "The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities."

This can be interpreted as even modifying any configuration to allow the software to run on your own infrastructure. Obviously this is a very aggressive interpretation but the lawyers didn't want us to test this phrase in court so all AGPL software had a blanket ban.

Nobody says that an object with memory allocated using a bump allocator can't use RAII for other uses. The destructor could even call delete on the pointer to the memory in the bump allocator and the bump allocator can happily implement delete as a noop or a tombstone operation of some sort. Now this does mean when you design your objects (see some talks on objects vs values for nuance there, oversimplified TLDR object exist in a place in memory but values are things that can be passed around) you need to make them aware of the allocator that allocated them. Values are generally stored in containers which the STL ones are allocator aware and you should be making your custom ones allocator aware too.

Generally the expensive part of memory allocation isn't calling malloc, it's the underlying operations, when the underlying operation is +sizeof(T) and free is a noop you can happily keep using RAII and not care.

CLARIFICATION:
I'm saying having a T* member is an antipattern, make it std::unique_ptr with a custom deleter or it should be in a container, struct of arrays...
Well not if there's a ground plane beneath, with 4 layers you can have signal traces on the outer layers and make the inner layers ground and every trace will have a good ground reference.

With a 2 layer board though, one layer's "copper pour" is the other layer's "ground plane"... Yet the article seems to advocate that you shouldn't use copper pours for 2 layer boards either? That's weird.

That is not rational. You can’t just make up an idea and then claim it’s true because no one can prove it isn’t. If you want to claim something that is outside our ordinary perceptions (and tests!) of how reality works is true then the onus is on you to prove it.

The fad part is that LLMs don’t work. People keep mistaking simplistic demos for practical applications.

They don’t provide good summaries. They don’t help non-experts simulate expert work. They don’t provide reliable search results.

If someone promoted a calculator that gets 90% of the digits correct in its answers and 90% of the time those digits were in the right order, that would be a useless calculator.

I have not spoken with any AI fanboy who can substantiate his claims about the usefulness of LLMs. I have used Deepseek twice, now, and both times its results were unusable for engineering purposes but would have impressed tipsy people at a party.

I have heard credible reports that Co-pilot is helpful. And I routinely use ChatGPT for prototyping tools— but that makes it one more interesting tool, not a revolution.

So you are saying that the buffer would be allocated in the program in A::init_from_file? And the compiler would be able to optimise that away by allocating the buffer outside the loop?

If the compiler actually does that, that would be a good example. As long as I don't have to be careful to write my code in a way that some obscure compiler optimisation understands.

In California it's generally the county sheriff who issues carry permits. Apparently sometime in the past few years municipal police were also given the authority to do this, but for decades I believe it was just the sheriff. And it was discretionary and highly political--urban sheriff's departments were invariably, "no", unless you were a high profile figure, whereas rural sheriff's departments were typically an easy, "yes", unless they had a reason (good or bad) not to. And sometimes there were jurisdictional fights where rural sheriff's departments would bend the rules and issue permits to residents of urban counties, (arguably) sometimes just to spite the cities. Like most jurisdictions in the US, sheriffs are an elected position, and very often crudely politicized, especially in states like California with strong urban/rural partisanship.

In any event, it's likely most Californians still go straight to the sheriff's department when seeking a permit.

It’s just in response to “it's not always clear when the job is done”. With shell integration installed, iTerm knows how to separate commands and responses (you can cmd-shift-arrow to move between them, select the entire response with a click, etc.) so I thought it might expose that knowledge. It does that just by putting a distinctive character sequence in the shell prompt, and you could do that directly if needed. Other REPLs have customizable prompts too.

The KGB caught some Soviet dissidents the same way. They had a (mandatory) register of the unique imprint pattern of every mechanical typewriter.

- "Nightmare for the KGB: The Advent of Photocopy Machines"

- "In the early 1960s the Soviet ruling elite—in this case, the KGB’s Fifth Directorate, responsible for ideology and counter-subversion, and the Agitprop Department, the party’s main watchdog over “ideological” matters —imposed special procedures for introducing newly invented photocopying machines. The procedures were designed to prevent the use of photocopying machines for producing copies of materials viewed as undesirable by the authorities."

- "Decades earlier, a similar approach was used for typewriters. Proprietors of offices and stores had to provide local KGB branches with sheets of paper showing examples of the font of every typewriter they had. These sheets enabled the KGB, using technical procedures, to determine the origin of any typed text."

- "In one case that occurred at my present place of employment—the Institute of World Economy and International Relations—the KGB traced an “illegal” social-democratic-oriented journal advocating “socialism with a human face” to a typewriter belonging to the secretary of the Institute’s director. Only a few dozen copies of the journal had been produced, but this proved to be enough to put five or six young people in jail for a year. The Institute’s director fired his secretary, who had permitted her son-in- law to use her typewriter to produce the illegal copies."

- "The only typewriter I knew of that could not be traced by the KGB was one I had in my home. It had been presented as a gift to my father, Soviet statesman Anastas Mikoyan, when he made an official trip to East Germany and visited a factory there that produced typewriters."

Yeah. Economic effects are rarely cut and dry and the actual impact of a minimum wage increase is highly dependent on a lot of factors so pretty hard to say one way or another. But one thing is clear, minimum wage increase do help the employees. So we have one clear benefit to employees, no clear benefit or detractor to employers and a clear benefit to me personally (which is what I really care about) in that I don't have to subsidies bad businesses. With all that in mind it looks clear to me that increasing the minimum wage to a living wage is the right answer.
